September 24, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Happy Friday! I am celebrating fall this ~~week~~ month!

How about a Fall Fun Fold?

I am combining the Sale-a-bration paper, Beautifully Penned and fall today!

As the card opens –

It’s just soo pretty fully opened!

Here are the measurements –

card base, 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 1 5/8″, 4 1/4″
Basic White inside, 4″ x 5 1/4″
DSP, right big panel, 3″ x 5 1/4″
DSP, left smaller panel, 2 1/4″ x 5 1/4″
DSP strip (inside), 1/2″ x 4″

This fall stamp set compliments the pattern paper so well! I used the Pretty Pumpkins Bundle –

And this is the lovely black and white paper I used –

Black and white pattern paper is a must in our crafty stash. It is so versatile! And, this paper, you can get free until the end of the month! Wahoo!

This card, and so many other great projects you can make with it!

Stamping With Friends Blog Hop – Techniques

September 4, 2021 · 6 Comments

Happy Saturday!

I am hopping along this afternoon, again! Lol!

Our theme for you today is – Techniques

I do not know what this technique is called, but I used a Stampin’ Up clear block and used it as a stamp!

I figured out the size block I wanted to use. Here, Block C.

I literally placed it in my ink pad….

And stamped the inked up block!

I did this on my Stamparatus base because I was about to use it as well.

I placed my stamp on top of the ‘stamped’ rectangle.

And picked it up the one of the Stamparatus plates before actually stamping it! For me, this stamp needs a few more times before it looks like a good, clean image.

Here is the final card –

Simply beautiful I’d say!

I placed my stamped panel on a sheet of Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper –

The sentiment is also from the same Shaded Summer stamp set. Just as pretty as can be!

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Time for another 2 week sketch challenge –

Optional Theme : Inspired by a Book or Movie

I did not incorporate the optional theme……but, I did create this pretty card –

This week I’m featuring the Detailed Pumpkins Dies –

This card is perfect for Halloween or Thanksgiving or just for someone who loves pumpkins!

For the base for the pumpkins, I used the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper –

It’s a free option with Sale-a-bration! I have really enjoyed this pattern paper and have made many cards with it!

I think this is a nice combination. Don’t you?

Stamping With Friends Blog Hop – Favorite Sale-a-Bration Item

August 7, 2021 · 10 Comments

Happy Saturday or Sunday, depending when you see this!

It’s time for an afternoon hop!

Theme – Sale-a-bration!

I love paper, and who doesn’t, especially when it is free!

It is a toss up with the Sale-a-bration options this year, but I went with the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper –

I create four cards using one of my 6″ x 6″ One Sheet Wonders –

Gorgeous, right!?

So easy too! I used this pattern here –

Here is a detail of each card up close –

This is Card C on the cutting chart.

This is Card A.

Card B.

And, Card D.

I have made several different styles using this same layout. You can search for the others in the search bar.

This lovely set uses all patterns from the same paper pack! Including the fussy cut flower!

The only this I added was a sentiment from the Penguin Place stamp set! It is a new set, found in the new Mini catalog.

So, what do you think? Pretty cards filled with lots of gratitude, right?

I’d love to know what you think of my One Sheet Wonder cards!

Fun Fold Fridays – Double Pocket Card

August 6, 2021 · 4 Comments

Happy Friday!

Time for another great Fun Fold!

This week I am using a fabulous black and white print from Sale-a-bration, the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper –

This can be yours FREE with a $50 (USD) order!

Look at this nifty card I made –

It uses only half a sheet of Designer Series Paper! I know you’ve got lots of pattern paper you’ve been hoarding!!! Lol!

The Designer Series Paper is 5 1/4″ x 11 3/4″, scored at 1 3/4″, 4 3/4″, and 7 3/4″. Accordion folded. Adhere to a base of 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.

It has two pieces that slide in each side!

The Polished Pink, left, is 3 1/8″ x 4 1/4″. This side would be perfect to add a gift card! You could adhere with a glue dot!

The Basic White, right, is 3 1/2″ x 4 1/4″. I added a strip of color along the back edge to tie in the color.

Really sweet, huh? I did fussy cut the flower from one of the patterns in the paper. It made a nice a focal point.

The sentiment stamps super neat and clean. It is from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set.

I think I’ll feature this Fun Fold on my next Card Buffet!
