Welcome Little One

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current color challenge –

I needed a cute baby card and these colors work perfectly –

Right? This cute little sleeper is die cut from the Baby Clothes Dies retiring at the end of the month. Both that and the already sold out You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper will surely be missed.

This card is pretty nifty – it is a gift card holder when opened!

This nifty pocket is from the retiring Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I just cut it in half! It is the same size as the one on the front of the card too! You can see all those items and more here –

I will be featuring this card on my April Card Buffet this weekend! I think it will be well received!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our latest layout challenge –

I went with something fun – strawberries!

I combined two Designer Series Papers here, You’re A Peach for the rectangles and Sweet Talk for the strawberries.

I stamped the strawberries, sentiment, and the stem, with the Sweet Strawberry stamp set. I used the Strawberry Builder Punch for the berry and leaf. Both are retiring as well as a lot of other items. See thme here –

I will be sad to see all these items leave! However, great new products are just around the corner.

This is literally a ‘sweet’ card! Wouldn’t you agreen?

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our newest two week challenge to inspire you –

Definitely something punny and along the lines of the sketch –

……and, a little ‘thinking outside the box’!!! Isn’t this adorable??

This Bragworthy stamp set was the inspiration for this card. Made for a nice towel too! Lol! Notice the silver towel bar? Very detailed!

I used the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper to create the wallpaper and border. I wanted it to look like a kitschy bathroom! Did I nail that?

I’d love to read your thoughts on my fun card!

Welcome Monday!

How about a new challenge from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge to start your week off creativity!?!?

Here is our latest sketch to inspire you –

I went with the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper as my focal point –

It makes for a lovely card –

It’s is so fun and cheerful!

I used a couple dies for the sentiment. The ‘happy’ is from Christmas Cheer Dies –

I cut three and stacked them for a thicker, bolder look. (When I decide who I’m giving the card to, I’ll a finishing sentiment to the inside.)

Behind the sentiment is a die cut tag from the Tailor Made Tags Dies –

This card will make a great birthday, anniversary, wedding – anything card! It is just peachy, lol!

We all use a variety of stamp products – so join us with what you have!

Fun Fold Fridays – Bendi Card

July 16, 2021 · 2 Comments

Happy Fun Fold Friday!

Today I’d like to share a nifty take on a card I made on Monday and a card I made a few years ago!

I’ve seen this fold called different things, I’ll go with Bendi Card…..here is today’s Bendi Card –

Adorable!!! This would brighten anyone’s day!

I adhered the sentiment to look as though it is floating!

Best if all, it is mailable in an A2 envelope!

Yes, I used the same elements that I did Monday. I decided to have this one as an option on my Card Buffet, so I needed a little easier card.

I started with the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper because it is on sale currently! There are a couple of all blue patterns that are nice for this card. I liked the stripes.

The clouds we made using the Basic Border Dies –

The stamp set is Sunny Sentiments and it is awesome! One of those must have stamp sets actually!

The Layering Circles Dies made the perfect scalloped edging around the sentiment. Resembles a sun!

Such a sweet card, wouldn’t you agree?

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our latest two week sketch to get you creatin’ –

Bendy card? I’ve seen them, never tried to make one! Until today!

I looked into it. Actually, rather easy!

Here is my take on one –

Rather adorable I’d say!

I’ll attempt an explanation…..To create this, I started with a base of 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″. I added a piece of the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper (it is on sale!).

I took a piece of Basic White, 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″, scoring along the 4 1/4 side at 1/2″. I rotated the card stock and cut it at 2 1/2″. I cut each strip top using the Basic Border Dies creating the cloud lines.

I cut little tabs in each cloud strip opposite the score lines. I made a slit in the card base after the Designer Series paper was adhered. I made a second slit in the first cloud line for the second cloud strip. As a tip, I recommend going over the cloud strip with a bone folder to soften the card stock and make the curve easier to look rounded.

The sentiment just fits this card!!! It is from Sunny Sentiments –

Of course, it was stamped using the Stamparatus!

This card just makes me smile!!!!

Have A Peachy Day

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

We are switching up our challenges a bit to sketches from the new catalog –

What an adorable sketch to recreate!

Since the Designer Series Paper is on sale, I decided to have the You’re A Peach as my backdrop to these luscious stamped peaches –

Doesn’t this want to make you go grab some fresh peaches????

I started with the Picture This Dies to cut my rectangle shapes. I just rearranged them on my card!

My peaches were stamped from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set, then die cut using the coordinating Peach Dies. It comes in a nice bundle too!

I love how the stamp looks real when stamped! Notice the shading!

I thought the sentiment was just as sweet adding it to the side.

Lastly, I added some of the Artistry Blooms Adhesive Backed Sequins to fill in the blank areas around the peaches. Such a nice addition of color and sparkle!

Check out the Design Team creations on our Create with Connie and Mary blog. Create a card using our challenge and post it on our Facebook page.

Stamping with Friends Blog Hop – Slimline Cards

July 3, 2021 · 14 Comments

Hello Stampin’ Friends!

Welcome to a hop with some new stampin’ friends for me –

Our theme this month is a Slimline Card!

I love the Mini Slim size! I start with a 7″ x 6″ card stock piece , scored at 3 1/2″. This makes the the finished size 3 1/2″ x 6″, top fold.

For this particular card, I started with a 3 1/2″ x 12″ piece of basic White, scored at 6″. Same finished size, but the fold is on the left side because I made this into a fun fold mini slim – book fold! I added the additional score line at 7 1/2″. That gets adhered closed, thus making the book fold!

You can see that closed part sort of here.

I used the adorable You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper that is on sale this month!

I also used the coordinating Sweet As A Peach Bundle –

It is just a sweet as can be!

I like this size Mini Slim for two reasons. 1) You use way less product on a finished card. 2) The card fits into a #6 3/4 personal check envelope. These can be found readily and you can even find really nice ones online.

I added a strip of Designer Series Paper to make the envelope coordinate with the rest of the card.

What do you think? Soo sweet, right? I’d love to read your compliments on the card.

Fun Fold Fridays – Arrow Fold

June 18, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Happy Friday my stampin’ friends!

Sorry I missed last week. I have a lot going on these days and sometimes something has to take a side seat.

I have seen this ‘arrow fold’ a few times and it has intrigued me. So here is my go at one –

So cool, right!?!?!?!

I thought it would be hard, but it is not! It is soo easy. It starts with a standard card base, 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″. On the front, pencil mark the center at the bottom, 2 3/4″. On both sides, pencil mark at 2 1/8″. Both of the se markings are the halfway points. Score from the middle bottom mark up to the middle mark on both sides. Also score from the middle bottom mark up to the center fold on both sides.

Fold card in half. Fold center score lines towards the inside of the card. The outer score lines fold away. This will create the wings in the arrow.

I used the You’re a Peach Designer Series Paper for my card. I cut it 5 1/4″ x 4″. Watch how your pattern goes when you make this card, you want to be able to use both sides of the paper.

I marked the DSP at 2 5/8″. I cut from that mark up to the top on both sides, giving me an upside down triangle in the middle and two triangles on the side.

Flip the paper to side to like.

Because this was my first attempt, I use a simple sentiment on the front as to not cover up this sweet paper!

The inside still leaves ample room for writing.

Give this fold a go and let me know how yours turns out!

Happy Monday!

We have a new sketch over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge –

Pretty fun starting point for playing with new stuff! Stampin’ Up just had a new catalog release last week.

I am playing with the new Sweet As A Peach Bundle –

And, the coordinating Designer Series Paper, You’re A Peach –

I created a really sweet card here –

I cut the pattern paper first, added a strip of the new Pale Papaya, and added the stamped, die cut peach.

I went with a sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set, a favorite new stamp too!

I hope I have inspired you by this peachy card!

You can join our challenge at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge for a week! We use a variety of products and look forward to seeing your take on our sketch!
