Fabulous fun fold card with the Fluffy Squirrel bundle

I hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving weekend. We are spending it with my kids, eating, playing games and visiting more family.

I am proud to share Candy’s swap card with you. It’s for our ‘foil’ themed November Team swap. She featured the Fluffy Squirrel bundle seen here.

There are so many things that absolutely make this card a winner! She did case it from Ruth’s Stamping Corner.
First of all the Need for Tweed designer series paper; how perfect! Then there’s the cute acorns that are included in the punch! Then the Earthen Toned foil paper circle – punched with our 2 3/8″ circle punch. And what about that neat fold she created!

It’s basically a book-binding card fold but with a twist. She is great about sending me her Measurements:
– Lost Lagoon 11″ X 4 1/4″ score on long side at 2 1/8″, 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″, 2nd piece is 3 1/4″ X 4 1/4″
– Vanilla – 2″ X 4″ and her sentiment is 3″ X 7/8″
– Need for Tweed – 3″ X 4″, 1″ X 4″ & 2″ X 4″

Thanks for making this adorable swap card for us Candy!

  The retiring list is coming out this week Wednesday and these bright and vibrant In Colors will be gone within hours!  They're the 2018-20 In Colors seen on page 164 of the Annual Catalog. Click here to see everything available in these colors; there's a lot! 

  Be sure to order by Wednesday before they're gone!  

  I created 5 cute cards; one in each color using the Daisy Lane & Sweetly Swirled stamp sets.  These cards are going out to my family this week.  

  

  I used Black ink for the greetings and swirls and the In Color inks for the daisy. The Medium Daisy punch is part of a bundle with the Daisy Lane stamp set seen here. Remember that it will not be available as a bundle after May, 2020. Even if both items return in the next catalog, bundles always retire from one catalog to the next. 

  Here's the Lovely Lipstick version: 

  

  Details:
  Main cards 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  Black 3 1/2" X 4 1/2"
  White 3 1/4" square plus 3/4" strips for greetings
  In Color DSP 1" X 3 1/4"
  

  
  

  Products used:

  Sweetly Swirled & Daisy Lane stamp sets, Retiring 2018-20 In colors plus Black ink, Daisy punch, Faceted gems, In Color ribbons & In Color enamel dots

• Best Dressed FB Live cards

  April 17, 2020

  ---

  I made these 3 pretty cards during my weekly 'Stamp with Me' Facebook Live last night.  

  

  Each Thursday at 8 pm CT we'll finish 3 cards together in about 30 minutes.   Prep your pieces ahead of time using the measurements I provide and you'll be surprised how quickly you can make your cards!  Join me here: 

  I used the Best Dressed Designer paper seen here but you can substitute other paper, colors, stamps and punches. The stamped greetings are from the Peaceful Moments set here. I use this stamp set so much; the sentiments are wonderful.

  After the video many people share their finished cards. It's so fun to see what products everyone uses and how similar (or not) they are to mine. 

  Here are the details and close up views of these three cards: 

  

  Old Olive 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", Best Dressed DSP is 4" X 3", Lovely Lipstick is 4 1/4" X 3 1/4", White strip is 3/4" X 4 1/4".  A fast, easy card. 

  

  Purple Posy 4 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 5 1/2", Mint Macaron 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", yellow DSP is 4" X 2 3/4", floral DSP is 3" X 4", Stitched So Sweetly die-cut in White, 2 1/4" Mint circle, punched butterflies , Mint 1/8" ribbon

  

  • Purple Posy 4 1/4" X 9 3/4" scored at 5 1/2", DSP is 4" square, Detailed Band die-cut (see it here) in Purple Posy (Or use a border and any punch or die-cut)

• Color Challenge with Seriously the Best with Ornate Frames

  April 16, 2020

  ---

  My Flowerbug's Team had a color challenge this past month – to use Black and White with a 'Pop' of color.  Here's the card I made: 

  

  This card literally took me 5 minutes to make.  Here's the steps:

  1. Cut a White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  2. Cut the See a Silhouette DSP to 4" X 5 1/4".  Adhere to the card
  3. Die-cut two pieces a White 2 1/2" X 4"  stitched rectangle and a Black Ornate Frame.
  4. Stamp the greeting and leaves in Black Memento ink.  Add the flowers in Poppy Parade ink. Adhere to the card.
  5. Stamp the 'I miss you a lot' greeting on a scrap of White. Punch out with the Classic Label punch. Add with mini dimensionals.
  6. Add a few rhinestones. Done! 

  You can see the See a Silhouette stamp set here and the Ornate Frames dies here.  Remember that if you order any Ornate bundle from me in April you get a free 3 cards pre-cut kit!  Details below:
