Fun Fold Card

 

Here is a fun fold card I made. It was originally done by France Martin at Frenchie stamps. It is a fun card and pretty easy to make. It is usually the beautiful Expressions in Ink papers and the Artistically Inked stamp sets. These papers are absolutely gorgeous. They have been hard to get. It seems like in ever catalog there is one set of papers that seem to be on backorder thru almost the whole catalog. I have a hunch on what it is going to be in the Spring mini but will wait and see if I am right or not.

Hello Ladybug!

 Here are a couple of pictures of the little bit of snow we have recieved in the last couple of days at our house. It hardly ever snows here but of course it has to snow right before we are going to fly out on vacation. It is actually supposed to snow a bit in Minnesota/Wisconsin and we have about a 2 hour drive to get there. So we are going to have some fun driving in the snow,

On to my card! This is the cutest little ladybug stamp set. I just love it! I have used some of the Host pattern papers from the Annual Catalog. Its called Pattern Party and comes with 48 sheets of fun papers. It is free with a qualifying purchase. You can see it on page 171 in the annual catalog. 

I saw the ladybugs in blushing bride in the new Spring mini catalog going live on January 4th and decided I wanted pink ladybugs. I made up 4 of them and left them on my table. The next day they were scattered on the floor and so I thought they must have stuck to one of the kitties feet as they were walking across my table. But the next day I saw one of the Kitties swiping some on the floor clear into the living room and realized it was one of my ladybugs. So I guess he thought it was a real ladybug.

I die cut one of the pretty circles from the Encircled in Beauty die set and layered my ladybugs on it. I punched out some of the wings and used them for leaves. The words are from the Hello Ladybug stamp set also.

The stamp set and punch can also be purchased as a bundle and you can save 10%. This will be available starting January 4th.

I like how this card turned out and think it is fun.

Another Daffodil DayDream Card!

 Here is another card I made using the Daffodil Daydream Bundle. I cased this card out of the catalog and added a couple of my own touches to it.

You can see beside my card my new little Gnomie that I got for Christmas and part of another one. You can see a little pink of the hidden Gnomie, it is very cute and his little legs stretch to make it taller.

I hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas.  We got a little snow here but not much! But thats okay because Kati and I are flying out to Wisconsin in a few days and want the airport to be open!!

Daffodil DayDream Bundle and Merry Christmas

 This card is made with the Daffodil DayDream Bundle out of the new Stampin Up Spring Mini catalog.

The papers are in the new Sale A Bration catalog. Both of these catalogs go live on January 4th 2022. If you purchase the Daffodil DayDream bundle you can earn the papers for free. They bundle for the stamps and dies is $54.75 before s&h and the papers are free with a $50 order! 

How exciting is that??

There are so many great colors in this paper pack. I had a hard time deciding which color to layer with it. I finally decided on Flirty Flamingo. I haven't used it for awhile so I decided to do it. For the actual daffodils I die cut them with Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry. Now a days it seems like daffodils come in all kinds of colors so it would be fun to make them in lots of other colors.

For my card, this is called a Fold Flat Box Card. You can go onto You tube and find all different ones. So I went and found the dimensions and then designed my own. It has a belly band around it when its closed. You could use ribbon also. Then you slide the belly band off and the card opens like a box. It fits in a regular size envelope (as long as you dont put too much dimension in the box) but its just I think a quarter inch shorter than a regular card.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Fun with Flowering Tulips!

 I have had a chance to play with some of the new products coming out in the Spring catalog next month. Its been fun not doing something Christmasy for awhile. I always love getting started on Christmas things but then am glad to get back into spring.

This is a Z-fold card. I have used some fun new products. As a demonstrator you get to pre order things. Sometimes as early as 2 months before the catalogs go live if you participate in On Stage in November. I choose not to this year. So I just pre-ordered some things at the beginning of December.

This card is made using Flowering Tulip Bundle which includes the stamps and dies. I havent useed any of the tulips dies on this card. I also used the gorgeous papers called Flowering Fields. It has the most beautiful colors and patterns in it.

I have new catalogs now so if you are looking for a demonstrator I would love to get a catalog to you!!

I seem to be into gnomes lately. Not the yard gnomes tho, those are just creepy!

 I cant believe its been another month since I've last posted anything. But its been a crazy month.

My mother in law got sick and passed away, I had a big event and now I've just spent the whole weekend and am home from work today because someone came to work sick last week and now I have it.

Of course, since I want to post something I cant get the photos to open up on my computer so I can download some pictures.

Luckily, I found this card I hadnt shown yet.

I love this die set. I cased this card out of the Holiday mini catalog. I have another one with these dies but they are still in my phone.

This card is made using the Christmas To Remember Bundle. It is a stamp and die set that comes in the Painted Christmas Suite. This is a cool suite. It has two bundle with stamps and dies, gorgeous ribbon, some fun Gold Holly Leaves, and papers.

Usually when I am home sick I get some crafting done but not this time. I have been home since Thursday afternoon and it is now monday morning. I made one card this weekend. So that shows how sick I actually was.

Christmas Cookies!

 This is a fun card I made using lots of different sets. The main set is out of the current annual catalog called Whats Cookin! It comes with stamps and you can get matching dies to go with it. This is a fun set for anyone that like kitchen themed items. I have also used Word Wishes, Love You More Than, Warm Wraps and Scalloped Contour die sets.

The papers are from the new Holiday mini catalog called GingerBread and Peppermint designer series papers.

I think this is a fun card for the holidays. Lots of die cutting tho!

Gingerbread and Peppermint!

 I saw a card similar to this on Pinterest. It was like a 51/2 or 6 inch square card. This is my version of it. It is made with the Gingerbread and Peppermint designer series papers, Real Red Ruffled Ribbon from the Gingerbread and Peppermint Suite and the Sweets and Treats Stamp Set from the new Mini Catalog that is available until January 3rd 2022. 

There is a quite a bit of coloring and fussy cutting with this card as there are not dies to match. But for some people that have the scan and cut machine you could cut it out with that after stamping and coloring your images.

If you would like to order any of these products you can find them at my online store here.

Cased Pinwheel Tower Card!

 This is called a Pinwheel Tower Card. I cased this card from Patty Bennett at pattystamps.com. It is made using two of the new Sale A Bration items you can get for free by placing a $50-100 order.

The black and white papers and they dies used on this card are both from the Sale A Bration catalog.

These Pinwheel tower cards are popping up everywhere. This one folds flat and fits in a 5 x 7 envelope. I want to find measurements to fit in a regular size envelope.

Of course I had to make this version because it is my favorite color combo. Black, pink and white.

Pink Squirrel!

 

Here is another card using the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set. I just think this little girl is so cute!

I saw a pink squirrel card on Pinterest and thought how cute is that!

So I decided to make one too! I did add eyelashes like the card on Pinterest but that is the only thing that is similar to the card I saw.

I hadnt used the pretty gold leaves yet that are in the new Holiday Mini catalog. So I added some of them for fun.

I showed it to my friend Linda and she said I didnt know squirrels were pink. I told her everything in my world comes in Pink!

Cute Halloween Suite!

 I made this card using the Cute Halloween Suite. I just love the print on this dsp with the cute little bats and the colors. The pumpkin and greetings are from the stamp set Cutest Halloween and the papers are from the Cute Halloween Designer Series papers. I just love it all. 

I have used Flirty Flamingo and Highland Heather for the cardstock. I love gingham ribbon and it goes so well with the suite also. It can be colored any color you want with markers, or ink.

More Squirrels!

 Here are two more squirrel cards I made using the Nuts About Squirrels. It is a new set out of the Mini Holiday Catalog that just went live at the beginning of this month. 

On the bottom card I used some of the free Sale A Bration Be Dazzling papers. These papers are so pretty. I just love them. I have also used the Beauty of Earth DSP on both of these cards. The papers are so gorgeous!

Nuts About Squirrels

 Here is a card I made using the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set. There arent any matching dies for this cute little set, so they have to be fussy cut. Or I was really lucky and went over to my sister Tamis house and she cut two pages of these cute little guys out for me with her Scan and Cut machine from Brothers.

You cant tell by this picture but the squirrel is on a Action Wobble from Art Impressions so if you give it a little flick it wiggles. Its really cute.

Third Pink Christmas!

 

This is my favorite pink christmas card. I cased this card from Pinterest. You cant really tell in the photo but I have embossed the greeting with gold. 
 

Pink Christmas #2!

 Here is another pink christmas card. It is #2. This card is using the Stitched Snowflake dies and Merry Snowflake stamp set. You can also get the stamps and dies in a bundle for 10% off. I have used the Whimsy Wonder Designer Series Papers. I just love these papers. They are my absolute favorites. 

I am thinking of doing another Christmas banner just because I love these papers so much! 

Thats what I love also about Stampin up. How well everything goes together. The papers are not part of the Snowflake Suite but this print goes so perfect with the snowflakes.

Pink Christmas!

For anyone that knows me, they know I love pink. So, I am just in love with the new suite called Whimsy & Wonder. It reminds me a little of a Dr.  Seuss Christmas. 

I cased this card from Pinterest. I'm sorry but I don't remember who I cased it from. I did add the ribbon and the greeting Let It Snow. This is from the Encircled In Warmth stamp set and die cut with the matching dies.

I will be showing more pink Christmas cards also. I may be doing all of my own cards in pink this year!

I have been working extra days at work, went on a weekend fun trip with my daughter and a long crafting weekend with my sister. So I guess life is just busy.I

I did have a productive weekend at the beach. I created 5 out of 6 cards we will be making at class next month, did the thank you gifts and created the project bags and have them half done.

Here are two of the cards we will be making.

The top card is made using the Beauty of Friendship bundle out of the Annual catalog.

Well, its not quite peach season, but here is a cute card I made using some new products including the You're A Peach Suite and the Encircled in Beauty dies from the Encircled in Friendship bundle.

I love so many of the products in the new Annual Catalog. I have been having fun using them. I have used the papers, stamps and dies from this suite. The only thing I havent used is the adorable jam jars that come in the suite.

Incolor Shimmer Vellum!

 I love this vellum! It is so gorgeous! It has a nice shimmery look to it and comes in the new 2021-2023 InColors. It looks like it has a layer of Wink of Stella over it. I totally cased this from Pinterest because I love it so much.

It may be one of the projects we will be doing at the Catalog Premier Party on Saturday June 19th.

Wild Cats!

Here are some cards made using the Wild Cats suite that is in the new 2021-2022 Annual Stampin Up Catalog. I saw the white tiger in the new catalog and thought how striking he is so I had to re create him. I love the Cheetah and also the two tigers together.

This is a really fun set to play with, It has stamps, dies and matching designer series papers.

There are some image in the papers you can cut the cats directly out with the dies so that makes it super fun also.

You can get all of these fun products and much more by visiting my online store here.

Summer Banner!

 I've been making quite a few banners over the last 3 or 4 years. This year I had a request for a Summer Banner class. I think thats the only season I havent made a banner for. This is my favorite banner so far. I love the colors and how bright and cheery it is.

I have used the new Expressions of Ink designer series papers that came out in the new 2021-2022 Annual Stampin Up catalog. 

At first I was just going to use two of the color palette from these papers Polished Pink and Evening Evergreen. They are both also two of the new incolors for 2021-2023. Something just wasnt right for me so then I added Pale Papaya and that just drew it all together for me. 

I also used the new Artistically Inked Bundle which includes the stamps and dies and some gold foil papers.

I stamped the flowers with Polished Pink and Pale Papaya and the leaves with Pear Pizzazz which is also in the color family for these papers.

I really love how it turned out!

What do you think??
