Happy Saturday!

Welcome to my second hop for the day!

We are sharing things we are working on these days!

Well, I’ve been playing with pretty papers!

Here, I’ll show off this so sweet Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper –

I love this type of card because……….well, just look at each card a little closer –

Now look when you open the card –

You see other side of this paper! Such a pretty side too!

And, this one –

The pretty green plaid inside –

I think these are my two favorite patterns in the pack!

Shown, is the Berry Blessings stamp set you can also get free with the pattern paper during Sale-a-bration!

I used the coordinating Sweet Strawberry Stamp set –

For both cards, I created a small, partially punched sentiment as to not overwhelm the card. I think I’ll got through the pack of pattern paper and create a few more of these cards! I love how fresh and fun they are!

Check out the others on our hop today!

Fun Fold Fridays – Double Gate Fold

January 29, 2021 · 2 Comments

Happy day!

Welcome to another Fun Fold Friday!

I am featuring a Double Gate Fold card today, actually a couple of them, lol! Once I started, I could not stop making them!

I used the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper for these –

This paper is from Sale-a-bration, the Berry Blessing Bundle –

But, I used a different stamp set, Happy Thoughts –

These sentiments are just THE best for any occasion.

I used the Tasteful Labels Dies for the sentiments. While still in the metal die, I flipped it over and ran my score stylus all around the edge to give the added line and height border. I did this on both.

The purple card, I traced the die and carefully fussy cut to have a border.

Just two different ways to use dies!

I couldn’t decide what type of closure I wanted to have.

This one has a belly band that slides off.

The other card I used a velcro closure –

It doesn’t keep the card as closed, but it’ll either be in an envelope or out and standing up.

Both are nice!

So, how did I create these? This is not a new fold, but here are my directions –

You’ll need a 5 1/2″ x 12″ sheet of pattern paper. I KNOW you have a ton of this. What crafter does not????

score the 5 1/2″ x 12″ pattern paper at 2″, 4″, 8″, 10″
on both the short sides, mark 2 3/4″ (is it exactly the halfway point in 5 1/2″)
on the left, from the 2 3/4″ mark to the 4″ score line, make a diagonal cut up
on the right side at the 8″ score line, to the 2 3/4″ mark, make another, opposite diagonal cut. (It will look like a house with a flat roof in the center)
on each side, one at a time, fold in towards the center the center most score lines, the fold back the other score line
open card up
the 2 diagonal triangles, flip and adhere to each of the ends
add a center panel to write on
add a sentiment of belly band to the outside

Please let me know if you have any questions or need any of these products!

Making My Day

January 27, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Hello! The sun is finally shining here and I feel like creating!

I am following the catalog sketches again!

I made this bright, cheery, and fruity card –

So, so sweet!

I used the Berry Blessings Bundle for this –

I stamped and punched the sentiment and placed it on another circle slightly askew for something different. I thought Daffodil Delight was a nice *pop* of color here. The strawberries I fussy cut from one of the patterns. Quite simple.

I got my inspiration from CASE-ing Tuesday Sketches. Always so fun to just ‘play’ and see what you can create!

What will you create??

Blogging Friends Blog Hop – January 2021 – Sale-a-Bration Times C’mon

January 1, 2021 · 8 Comments

Happy January 1, 2021! Let’s start this year off with a ~~bang~~ blog hop! Or maybe two hops!!

Our theme is Sale-a-bration!

Sale-a-what? Every year during the first part of the year, Stampin’ Up! hosts a bonus promotion. For every $50 (USD) you spend, you get to pick a free specially designed item of stamp sets or Designer Series Papers!

This year, the special promotion will run twice this year for two months each, January & February and July & August. That means you have just a limited time to get these items! Our hop will introduce you to some of the products!

I was soo drawn to this Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper and Berry Blessings stamp set. I created two cards using a nifty fold –

Why is this nifty? Well two flaps open –

Cards are flipped, lol! But, you get the idea!

Each card has a base of 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. Layered with the folding card that is 4″ x 11″, scored at 3″ and 8 1/4″. I added Designer Series Paper to the outer panels and one card I stepped it up a bit adding a coveted piece of Whisper White on the inside. It is 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″.

I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy with the berries (outside and inside) stamped in Pacific Point stamped off a time or two.

For both cards I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to frame the sentiment.

On both these cards I used a clear hook & loop dot to secure them closed.

Of course I stamped the whole panel and for whatever reason the Rich Razzleberry ink was not all the way dry and I smudged it a bit. Grrrrrrr, but I just kept it. Shows it is handmade, right?

I stamped the berries in Rich Razzleberry and colored with various blend to get the shading. I added the stamped leaves in Garden Green on this stepped up card.

As a bonus, the purple bow added just the right touch! Not sure where it came from, it was in my bow stash box! Lol!

These cards will be the beginning of my Fun Fold Fridays! A nice way to start the new year creating with new fold challenges for myself to share with you!

I am not sure which card I like better? Which one do you like?
