One of my friends is planning a Vow Renewal and was looking for ideas for a Save the Date card. I mentioned that a gate fold card might be nice, and she wasn’t sure what I was talking about. So, I decided to make one to show her.

I was working on Valentine Projects for Stamp Club and decided this set would make a pretty gate fold. The belly band slides off, and the card opens from the middle.

I love the strip of flirty flamingo hearts, and as a bonus, you get lots of little hearts for future projects when you cut this!

Stamps: Meant to Be

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Lovely Lipstick, Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White

Ink: Lovely Lipstick

Dies: Be Mine Stitched Framelits

Other: Epoxy Hearts

Hello Love – I’m Ape Over You

The Occasions Catalog is in full swing, and there are so many beautiful stamps, that I hardly know where to start, but with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I thought I’d begin with this quick and easy card idea.

Hey Love has some really cute animal images, but I fell in love with the ape. Isn’t he adorable? There’s also an “I’m Ape Over You” stamp that I used inside the card.

Stamps: Hey Love

Cardstock: Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Lovely Lipstick, Whisper White

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper: All My Love DSP

Dies: Stitched Shapes, Layering Circles

Other: Lovely Lipstick, Smoky Slate Blends

I hope you enjoy him as much as I do. If you’d like the supplies to make this card, you can purchase them at the link below. I’d love to have your business!

Year-End Closeout!

If you’ve been eyeing any of the beautiful products in the Holiday Catalog, don’t let them get away!

Most of the items are retiring and are only available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. That means, when they’re gone, they’re gone!

My favorite deal is the Christmas Traditions punch box, which is 40% off! It’s packaged in a beautiful tin, and includes a stamp set, coordinating punch, acrylic block, and two ink spots. It’s available right now for only $27!!

It would make a great gift for a fellow crafter or a new stamper, or even a treat for yourself!

There are also items that are not retiring, but are on sale, so be sure to check the list closely. You can find it here.

Grab your favorites while you can!

Lift Me Up Anniversary Card

A very good friend asked me to make a card he could give his wife for their Anniversary. LaAnna is a stamper, so I think he might have been afraid to give her a “store bought” card.

First I chose the sentiment, Marriage is a Journey. The inside says Good Thing You Get to Bring Your Best Friend Along. I wanted something that would depict a journey, and decided on the hot air balloons. I wanted to add a little something special, so I wove satin ribbon through some of the spaces in the balloon die cut.

Stamps: Lift Me Up, Flourishing Phrases

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White

Ink: Pool Party, Bermuda Bay

Dies: Up and Away Thinlits Dies

Other: 1/4” Pool Party Satin Ribbon (vintage), Bermuda Bay sequins (vintage)

Special Celebrations Wedding Shower

I recently attended a wedding shower for a sweet young couple from my church. I wanted to make them a special handmade card, but as usual, I was looking for an idea at the last minute! When I looked at the bag I’d purchased for the gift, I was inspired to make a card to match.

Here’s a close up of the card.

Stamps: Special Celebrations

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Cardstock: Very Vanilla Note Card and Envelope, Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Gold Foil

Punch: 3/4” Circle

Other: Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

I was really pleased with the result. What do you think?
