Best Catch Diorama Card

Our second project for May’s Stamp Club was a diorama card using the Best Catch bundle.

This card has three different levels. The fisherman is stamped on the back layer. The cattails are attached to the middle level, and the fish are adhered to the front of the card.

The back layer is Sahara Sand, 4 1/4” x 7 1/2”, scored at 2” from each end. This is the layer with the fisherman stamped on it.

The middle layer is Soft Suede, 4 1/4” x 5 1/2”, scored at 1” from each end. This layer is cut with an oval, slightly smaller than the one on the front layer.

The front layer is Crumb Cake, 4 1/4” x 7 1/2”, scored at 2” from each end. This layer is cut with a large oval and stamped with the Crackle background.

Adhere the Soft Suede flaps to the inside of the Sahara Sand flaps, then adhere the Crumb Cake flaps to the outside of the Sahara Sand flaps to cover the front and sides.

Although it’s a three dimensional card, it can be folded flat and mailed in a regular envelope.

I hope you enjoyed this project. I’d love to hear from you in the comments below!

Pop of Petals Birthday & Bunny Treat

At April’s monthly class at the local library, we made this simple card and cute bunny treat.

The bunny is made with a strip of cardstock, folded and glued, and holds one Hershey kiss. He even has a cotton ball tail glued on the back.

The card is a simple one using the Pop of Petals and Wishing You Well stamp set, which is on the retiring list.

The greeting is from the Best Bunny set, which is adorable, and also retiring. If you need any of these products, get them soon, before they’re gone forever!

Butterfly Gala Gift Basket

I love it when I can recycle or up-cycle everyday items that are normally thrown in the trash!

At Stamp Club this month, I asked everyone to bring an empty toilet paper roll. We used them to make these little hanging gift baskets. Aren’t they just the cutest?

We used the Gingham Gala paper from the Occasions Catalog. This paper is on the retiring list, so if you don’t have it, get it quick! I love this paper. It comes in five colors, including Lemon Lime Twist, which we didn’t use for this project. It has larger checks on one side and smaller checks on the other side. I used the side with larger squares for this project.

After covering the tube with paper, we squeezed the bottom flat and stapled it, then covered the staples with “ribbon” made from matching cardstock and the ribbon border punch.

Stay tuned for cards made with the leftover paper!

Veterans Welcome Gifts

With the help of a lovely group of ladies, we support our local Veterans Retirement Home. One of the things we do is provide “Welcome to the Neighborhood” cards. If you missed my earlier post on these, you can find it here.

In addition to the welcome cards, we decorate boxes that are stuffed with slipper socks, those socks with non-stick bottoms like they provide for you in the hospital. I have several generous friends who donated the money to purchase the socks.

Last week, we delivered 70 boxes of these socks to the VA Center.

A good friend of mine, Janet, helped me get these together. The boxes were donated by another friend, Nancy, who saved them from the trash at an event she attended. What a great upcycle!!

If you’re looking for a good cause to support, please consider your local Veterans Center.

Thanks for visiting today.

Tea Together Tea Bag Gift

Who likes FREE stuff? I know I do!! During Sale-a-bration, you can get the Tea Time Framelits dies FREE with a $100 order.

We made this tea pouch using the dies and the coordinating Tea Together stamp set from the Occasions Catalog. I love the options with this stamp set. The images are open, so you can leave them plain, stamp flowers on them, or do like I did and take the easy way out. I stamped on some of our beautiful DSP, so I didn’t have to color anything.

The pouch is made using a 6 x 6 square of So Saffron cardstock and the Envelope Punch Board. Although it’s hard to see, the pouch is randomly stamped in So Saffron with the doilies from the Dear Doily set.

The teacup and die cut doily are attached to a ribbon that slides, so that the pouch may be opened without damage, so it’s reusable.

Stamps: Tea Together, Dear Doily

Cardstock: So Saffron, Night of Navy, Whisper White

Ink: So Saffron, Night of Navy

Paper: Garden Impressions 6×6 DSP

Dies/Punches: Tea Time Framelits, Doily Builder Thinlits, 1” Circle Punch, 1/8” Circle Punch

Other: Envelope Punch Board, Night of Navy Bakers Twine, 3/8” Calypso Coral Satin Ribbon

Ink: Pretty in Pink (vintage), Real Red

DSP: Love Patterns (vintage)

Punches: Heart (vintage), Triple Banner, Heart Border (vintage)

Forever Lovely Gift Box

Another one of our projects from Stamp Club was this beautiful gift box. It’s made from a half sheet of card stock.

I love the colors in the All My Love DSP (Designer Series Paper), and many of the sheets are generic enough that they could be used for many occasions. In fact, this box doesn’t have to be for Valentine’s Day.

Stamps: Forever Lovely

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Lovely Lipstick, Soft Sea Foam, Whisper White

Ink: Soft Sea Foam, Flirty Flamingo

Paper: All My Love DSP

Dies: Lovely Flowers Edgelits Dies, Be Mine Stitched Framelits

Other: All My Love Lovely Lipstick ribbon

I hope you enjoyed this gift box. If you need any stampin’ supplies, please visit the link below.
