Unique and Amazing You

Hi! It’s been a whirlwind this week as Stampin’ Up! announced their color refresh as well as the Last Chance lists for the Annual and Mini catalogs. I had planned on posting this card on Wednesday – and got wrapped up in all the excitement and here we are on Friday finally posting. I hope you don’t mind the delay.

I found this new-to-me fold and fell in LOVE that I had to share with my Facebook followers Tuesday night. The fold is called a WV fold and here is why:

When the card is open, the front of the card makes a W and the inside pop-out makes a V. Isn’t that fun?

Ok, so let’s get to the details:

Base – Pool Party – 5 1/2″ x 11″, score at 1 3/4″, 3 1/2″, 5 1/4″ and 7″
V panel – Pool Party – 6″ x 3″, score at 3″
Basic White – 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ (need 3)
Optional – Pool Party 3″ x 3″ for mat on inside white panel
Designers Series Paper – 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ – 4 pieces – can start with 1 piece 5 1/4″ x 6″ and cut into 4 1 1/2″ strips as shown above, or can mix and match prints similar to the card in the video below
Designer Series Paper – 3 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ for inside back panel.

For this card, I paired the soon-to-be retired (sadness), Friends are Like Seashells and the Seaside Bay (carrying over from the Mini to the new Annual Catalog – yay!). The seashells and sand on the front are stamped as follows: sand – Sahara Sand, Conch – Petal Pink, larger shell – So Saffron, small shell – Sahara Sand. The sand and shells on the second panel are also stamped in Sahara Sand. The sentiment is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

To see how to assemble the card, here’s the video:

If you are interested in the Friends are Like Seashells stamp set, I highly recommend getting the coordinating dies and the 3D Embossing Folder as well. While I do not use them on this project, you will want all 3 products for your crafting. Here’s a card using the embossing folder. The dies and folder will be on sale starting April 4. Please note that both Sahara Sand and So Saffron are retiring from our core color lines – so make sure to add a reinker and card stock to your order if you are running low.

I hope you enjoyed today’s fun fold and give it a go.

Thanks for stopping by!

Puddle Jumping

Hi! How are you today? Did you get a chance to check out the fun Z-Fold card yesterday? As promised, I am back today with another fun fold featuring the Playing in the Rain Bundle.

Isn’t this guy just the cutest? I love this suite and this fold. It is pretty easy to do and the critters make such fun cards.

Here are the dimensions for the pieces needed:

Base – Basic Gray – 8 1/4″ x 4 1/4″, score at 5 1/2″
Basic White – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Basic Gray – 5 1/2″ x 3″, score at 5″
Designer Series Paper – Umbrellas – 2 1/2″ x 4″
Designer Series Paper – Rain – 4 3/4″ x 2 3/4″
Basic White Scraps for bunny and sentiment
Balmy Blue strip – 2 3/4″ x 1/4″

The bunny is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Combo pack for the rain jacket, Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends for the ears and nose, and Smoky Slate light and Balmy Blue light Stampin’ Blends for the puddle. Please note that the coordinating die will ONLY cut the bunny, so you will need to use Paper Snips to cut out the puddle.

The sentiment from Happy Labels is stamped on a Basic White scrap and the flag tail is created using the Banners Pick A Punch. The Balmy Blue strip is also created with the same punch.

Here is a view of the card opened up :

The second card in this video shows you how to assemble the card.

I hope you enjoyed this fun fold today. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Happy Day Turtle

Hi! Today I have the first of 2 cards using the Playing in the Rain Bundle and fun folds. First up is a slight twist to the Z-fold.

Instead of using the full card to create the Z, a separate piece of card stock measuring 9 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ is used.

Here is the card opened:

Here are the measurements for the layers:

Base – Balmy Blue – 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
Designer Series Paper -4″ x 5 1/4″
Z-Fold – 4 1/4″ x 9 3/4″ – score at 3 1/4″, 6 1/2″
Designer Series Paper for middle panel of Z-fold – 3″ x 4″
Basic White for sentiment – 3″ x 4″

The turtle is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with the following colors Shell – Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack, Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack.

The clouds are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and die cut with coordinating die. The grasses are die cut from a scrap of Old Olive card stock.

To see the demonstration for this card, here is the video:

The Designer Series Paper is the Rain or Shine DSP pack from the January-April Mini Catalog – and is part of the suite that this stamp set and dies are in.

In The Field

Hi! Today I am saying goodbye to a few more of my favorite stamps and embossing folder. I shared these cards in my Facebook Live last night.

The main images are from the Field Journal stamp set. I wanted to show that the set could be used for feminine cards as well as masculine. I also incorporate Here’s A Card – a great sentiment set for both the front and inside of the card as well as the Swirly Frames stamp set – great for adding a little punch to your cards. I decided to use the same color palate for both cards – Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler.

Both pieces of Cherry Cobbler have been embossed. The berry card uses the Old World Paper Embossing Folder – love the texture you get from this folder. The Chipmunk uses the Subtle Embossing Folder – a little hard to see in this picture – but does add a nice touch to the overall card. I am sad to see both folders leaving our line-up next week.

If you are missing any of these products, simply click on them below to go to my store and add them to your cart. They are truly a great addition to your crafting stash!

Here’s the video showing both cards and how they are made:

Sunshine on A Rainy Day

Hi and Good Morning! It is a rainy Saturday here for me and I could use a little brightening up – so decided to share with you today this fun interactive card featuring one of my favorite sets that is sadly retiring on May 3.

The images for this card are from the Under My Umbrella stamp set. The set along with the coordinating Umbrella Builder punch are both leaving us on May 3. I die cut squares using the two largest stitched squares from the Stitched Shapes Dies (also retiring on May 3).

The boots and flowers are stamped with Black Memento Ink and colored with the following Stampin’ Blends: Real Red, Pool Party, Old Olive and So Saffron.

I did mention the card is interactive – if you pull on the ribbon, the boots flip open to reveal this:

Isn’t that so cool? These are so easy to make!

You will need the following supplies to make this card:

Base Pool Party – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ and fold in half
Layer Basic White – 5″ x 3 3/4″ – I embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder (A favorite that is also retiring)
Strip Pool Party – 2″ x 6″ – score at 2″ and 2 1/2″
Tag Topper Punch (also retiring)
Classic Label Punch (also retiring)
Tear & Tape
Dimensionals
Whisper White Crinkled Ribbon
Scraps of Pool Party – to die cut largest square
Scraps of Basic White – to die cut second largest square – need 2

You can see how to make this fun interactive card in this video:

Please let me know if you have any questions – I’m happy to answer them!

Just a reminder, the following items used in this card are retiring and are available while supplies last – so if they aren’t a part of your crafting supplies – click on the link below the item to head over to my store to get them before they are gone.

Happy Birthday Chick

Hi! Today I have a card featuring the Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set. Do you recall the Hey Chick set from 2017? Well, this is it’s sister set and is in the January-June Mini Catalog.

These two are so cute! I love the mop of feathers on the chicken eating the cupcake – it just cracks me up. If you recall, the Hey Chick stamp set from 2017 had an egg with legs – in this set, the egg has hatched! I truly love how these sets pair together.

But, even better – Stampin’ Up! has created coordinating dies for BOTH sets AND brought back the Hey Chick stamp set for a limited time as well! How awesome is that? I snagged the coordinating dies for both sets and will show you a picture of those dies in a minute.

Back to this particular card, I decided to do a fun Corner Flip Fold – you can check it out in this video – I make a template in the video which I hope is easy enough for you to follow. If not, please ask – I’m happy to answer your questions!

My colors are Cajun Craze, Early Espresso and Basic White for the Card Stock. I did use the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack behind the main panel. I added a little sparkle to the cupcake with the Wink of Stella glitter pen:

I used Watercolor Pencils and a Blender pen to color the images.

Ok – so, let’s check out these dies. For the Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set:

Besides the die cuts for the chickens, there is a also a fence and bag of feed along with the Happy Birthday I used on my card. I love that they have added extra elements!

For the Hey Chick dies, check these out!

A Hen House, Corn Stalk and Chicken Wire – SOOOO CUTE!!! LOVE IT!! So, if you missed out on the Hey Chick Stamp Set back in 2017, now is your chance to snag it! If you already have it – purchase the coordinating dies and dust it off – so many more possibilities!

AND – lastly – purchase BOTH bundles and you will get FREE SHIPPING! BUT this deal is only for today, March 17! So DO NOT WAIT! Click here to head over to my store and grab these adorable bundles today!

A Little Birthday Snail

Happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend! Since I kicked off the week yesterday with a Snail Valentine, I decided to continue the theme and today we have a Snail Birthday.

Do you remember this fold from 2018? It is the double point fold that I came across from Lisa Curcio. Since it’s been a few years, I figured it was time to revisit it. It is relatively easy to do and a great way to use your Designer Series Paper.

Cut two pieces of Designer Series Paper 3″ x 4″. Score at 1″ along the 3″ side. (If your paper has a direction to it, for the top flap, score at 1″ from the top, for the bottom flap, score at 1″ from the bottom”)
Fold the corners furthest from the score line down to the score line.
Use adhesive to hold the corners down.
Attach the 1″ flap to the top and bottom of a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic White card stock.
Attach the Basic White card stock to a piece of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2″ colored card stock.
Use punches or die cuts for your front focal image that is big enough to span the two points.
Decorate as desired and stamp a sentiment under the focal image for the inside of the card if desired.
Attach the focal image to the TOP ONLY using dimensionals.

Here is a video showing the card above (it is the second card in the video):

For the snail, he is stamped in Jet Black Stazon and colored with Watercolor Pencils and a blender pen. He is die cut with the coordinating die set.

The Stitched Nested Label dies provided the perfect layers to span the two flaps. Did you catch the beveled edge on the Basic White layer? That is easy to do and a great way to get more out of your dies! Before popping out the cardstock from the die, flip it over and run your stylus along the inside edge of the die – it creates that beveled look. (I show that in the video as well)!

And here he is in Real Red:

We are down to the final 2 weeks of Sale-A-Bration – so make sure you place those $50 orders in my On-Line store so you don’t miss out on your FREE goodies! You’ll find the link over to the right, or click on any of the products used below.

Happy Birthday!

Hi! Today is my birthday so I have a cute Gift Card holder to share with you featuring the Way To Goat stamp set!

This stamp set is adorable! I shared this card with a group of ladies during a workshop and then decided to use it during this past week’s Facebook Live. It is just that cute not to share!

Here’s what you need: (dimensions below are height by length)

Base Cardstock – 4 1/4″ x 8″ – score at 2 1/2″ on the 8″ side.
Base Cardstock – 3 3/4″ x 8″ – score at 4″ and fold in half.
Coordinating Mat Cardstock – 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
Coordinating Mat Cardstock – 4 1/8″ x 2 3/8″
Coordinating Mat Cardstock – 3″ x 3″
Designer Series Paper – 4″ x 5 1/4″
Designer Series Paper – 4″ x 2 1/4″
Designer Series Paper – 3 5/8″ x 3 7/8″
Designer Series Paper – 2″ x 4″
Neutral Cardstock – 3 5/8″ x 3 7/8″
Neutral Cardstock – 2 7/8″ x 2 7/8″

The assembly for this card is shown in this video:

The goat is stamped in Memento Black Ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends. The one above uses Smoky Slate and Petal Pink. In the video, I switched to Gray Granite for the goat.

One important tip – adhere the ribbon to the very base before adhering any of the layers. If you forget this step, you could just wrap the ribbon around the back of the card as well.

The Designer Series Paper used is the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper from the 2020 Annual Catalog. It is on sale this month for 15% off! This paper is perfect for both male and female cards – I LOVE when my paper packs are versatile and have patterns and colors for anyone!

Love Of Leaves

Hi! How are you today? Back today with another card featuring the Baby Wipe and Love of Leaves bundle.

I have fallen in love with this bundle. I hadn’t realized when I got this set that the when you die cut a leaf, it leaves a stitched border behind. So, I decided to use that as a frame for my leaf. Remember when I showed you the Baby Wipe technique earlier in the week, well, I made so many leaves (and I still haven’t used them all) – that I thought I’d use one of them with the stitched outline – and this is the result.

To add interest to the card, I added three strips of Early Espresso cardstock of different widths behind the leaf. The sentiment is stamped on the Whisper White layer. The base is Thick Whisper White – 4 1/4″ x 11″scored at 5 1/2″ and folded.

A pretty easy layout to replicate.

Don’t forget the Designer Series Paper Sale going on this month – save 15% on 15 different Paper Packs – including some for the upcoming holidays!
