Tri-Fold Twist Butterfly Gala

I am totally in love with this Fun Fold!  This was actually the second card I made using this fold, but I have others to share with you.

This card uses the Butterfly Gala stamp set and coordinating punch, along with the Flower For All Seasons DSP.

When the card is folded, it is in a vertical (portrait) orientation.

But, when you open it, it twists into a horizontal (landscape) orientation.  Isn’t that too cool!

Stay tuned for more cards made with this fun twist!

Double Dutch Door Gnomes

Last week, I taught a FREE Friday Fun Fold class to my stampers.  We made a Double Dutch Door card.  I used the  Gnome for the Holidays stamp set for my sample.

To me, the top of the tree stamp looked unfinished, so I stamped and punched a few leaves using the Harvest Hellos stamp set and Apple Builder Punch.

I decided the string of lights needed a little bling, so I added rhinestones that I colored with my Stampin’ Blends.

I used the hat from one of the gnome stamps to make the little tree on the inside.

I thought it turned out very cute.  What do you think?

Freshly Brewed Blog Hop – I’ve been framed!!

I’m joining the lovely ladies from Australia again this week for the Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop!

This week’s theme is frames, and I can’t wait to see how everyone interprets this in their project.  I decided to share a project I’ll be teaching in a Halloween Décor class this Saturday.  We’ll be using the Ghoulish Goodies Stamp Set, along with a few things from the Magic In This Night Suite.

The frame is 9 x 9.  Our artwork is 8 x 8 (Cajun Craze) layered onto the white mat that came with the frame.  I remove the glass from the frame and place it behind the mat to add stability, and if I want to use the frame for something else later, I don’t have to look for the glass!

The black cat’s eyes, nose and collar are colored with Stampin’ Blends, and there’s a small clear rhinestone tag on his collar.

The bats are cut from black cardstock and painted with Wink of Stella for added sparkle.

A small square of Rich Razzleberry cardstock is embossed with the Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder, and the spider is colored with Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends. The silver cord is a vintage product.

I’m excited to have this class and let everyone add a little spookiness to their homes this Halloween.

Here’s the fixin’s:

I hope you’ve enjoyed this project.  Be sure to follow the links below to see what the other ladies did with frames!

DIY Birthday

During the pandemic, we haven’t been able to celebrate birthdays like we’d really like to.  But, we’ve been able to celebrate in fun and different ways.

We recently celebrated the birthday of one of our friends, a young man who turned 29, with a drive-by parade which, interestingly enough, turned out to be comprised of 29 vehicles!  We had signs and balloons, and some of us handed John-Mark gifts as we drove by.  He likes candles and ice cream, so I gave him a box with a card and a DIY birthday party that had both!

The party in a box contains a Rainbow Chip Mug Cake with a frosting packet, a birthday candle, wooden spoon, and a gift card to Dewster’s, a local homemade ice cream store.  What else do you need for a birthday party?!

I used the vintage Sprinkles of Life stamp set, Tree Builder Punch, It’s My Party DSP and enamel dots for this project.

Here’s the rest of the fixin’s:

Pillow Box Treat Bag

Last month’s Stamp Club was held online again, due to our state’s social distancing requirements.  It’s not nearly as much fun as stamping together, but we still had fun.  This was one of our projects.

It’s really easy to make.  You only fold one end of the pillow box together and leave the other end flat.  Use your punch to punch a “handle” in the flat end, and voila, an instant treat bag.

Here’s the fixin’s:

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you enjoyed this project.

Kindness Changes Everything

I have a group of stamping friends from all over the country who participate in a monthly challenge.  A few months ago, our challenge was to create a card using our lacy dies.  This is the one I made.

Band Stamping Tutorial

My apologies for not posting lately.  We had a death in the family, and have been spending a lot of time dealing with finances, insurance, etc.

I know you’ve all been waiting for the tutorial of the technique used in the cards from the last few posts, so here goes!

BAND STAMPING  TUTORIAL

Create a colorful band of color on projects using this simple masking technique.

1.  Determine where you’d like your color band. Cover everything except the band area with scrap paper (masks), using washi tape or painter’s tape to secure.  I like to do this on grid paper to get these pieces lined up straight.  If you use painter’s tape, be sure to remove some of the tackiness by patting it on your clothing a couple of times, so it won’t tear your cardstock.

2.  Choose two or three ink pad colors, and apply the lightest color to the band area with sponges, daubers or blending brushes. Add the next color sparingly in smaller areas.  I used Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushel on my sample.

3. If desired, stamp images in the darkest color. I stamped the snowflakes in Blueberry Bushel.

4. Remove the masks to reveal your beautiful band of color!

This was the first card I made using this technique.  It uses the Snowman Season stamp set, which was in the last Holiday Catalog.  But, good news!  It will be back in the fall!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.  This is a very simple technique that doesn’t require a lot of supplies, but it can make a BIG difference in your cards.  I’d love to see what you make with this!

Double Point Fold Piano Note

In my last post, I showed you the Double Point Fold card we made in stamp club.  Today, I want to show you another Double Point Fold card.

I really like the way it turned out!  If you like this stamp set, grab it quick.  It’s on the retiring list!

Coffee or Tea?

We are living in crazy times, aren’t we?  Was it only three months ago that we were encouraging people to stay off their phones and computers and get out and be more social?  Wow!  What a reversal.  I hope you’re all staying in and staying safe.

We had our March Stamp Club just before all this began escalating.  I’m so glad we were able to get together!

This is one of the cards we made at club.  There are stamp choices for both coffee and tea, and you can tuck a tea bag or coffee gift card in the inside pocket.

This stamp set is available FREE with a $100 order, but only until the end of the month!!

Noble Peacock Easel

I just LOVE the Noble Peacock Suite!  Everything about it is gorgeous….. the stamps, dies, papers, ribbons, embossing folder and even the rhinestones!  And, the great thing is you can order the entire suite with only one item number (152187).  Can’t get any easier than that!
