Beautiful Friendship Birthday

Both of these cards use one of my current favorite stamp sets.  Beautiful Friendship has been a very versatile set.  I've made Birthday cards, Sympathy cards, Thank you cards - it just has so many possibilities!

I made this post to show the versatility of this stamp set.  I made two completely different birthday cards.  One features purples and Melon Mambo, and the second features blues, yellows, and Cinnamon Cider.  I used the same background stamps and came up with two completely different looks based on the colors.

Hidden Surprise Card

This card is the first one I made to prepare for the video.  It's a Hidden Surprise Card, and uses the main colors Calypso Coral along with the butterflies from the new DSP coming out soon called Butterfly Bijou.

 




You can order amazing Suite now!  This is an early release from the 2021 Annual Catalog so it will be available for well over a year.  The paper is gorgeous and is a lot of fun to play with!  So many things that can be done.

Stacked Ice Cream Cone

Slimline cards really are the thing lately!  The latest ice cream suite really lends itself to a much taller than 'normal' card.  I added lots of details to this towering pile of ice cream!  The sprinkles are adhered to the card with the Liquid Tombow glue.  They didn't take long to dry.

I cut a piece of DSP as the background, and made sure it peeked out from behind the white.  I stamped sprinkles in coordinating colors, and adhered the scoops with dimensionals.  The Happy Birthday was stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink.

Pretty Perennials

 This stamp set has so many possibilities!  Over time, you're going to see a lot of cards/projects made with it.  Today I just wanted to do some basic #simplestamping with it.

Stamps, ink, paper, a bit of ribbon, and enamel dots.

There are quite a few colors... and this shows off the Magenta Madness much better than the pictures I took of the zebra card from a few days ago!

I talk often about decorating envelopes.  Yes, I do stamp the back quite often, but I mean the front of the envelope!  I echoed the colors from the card so the stamping was easy while I made the card. 

You'll see this set again.  It has so many possibilities!

Click on the products below to make this very simple, pretty card!  Purchasing the bundle saves 10% off the combined price of the stamps and dies bought separately.

Back again! Double Flap Fold Card 2021 Stamp Club

One of my New Year's Resolutions for this year (I don't usually make them.) is to keep this blog updated!

I made SO many things in 2020, but did not post them.  I'll sneak them in here and there so you can see the 'pretty' things I made!

For my Christmas present, I bought myself a Shotbox.  It's from We R Memory keepers.  I always thought my photos were alright - I believe this tool will really bring the pictures of my work to a much higher level!  We shall see.

This is a Double Flap Fold card - easy to make, and quite impressive. 

I added some of my cut off strips to add detail on the greeting and "writing" page.  You can't see it, but I added another piece of Whisper White cardstock facing the greeting since it was so bit.  That way there's room to write a message to the recipient.  I included the measurements for this piece below.

Here are the measurements so you can make this impressive card.

Card base:  5-1/2" x 11.  Score the 11 inch side at: 1-3/4", 5-1/2", 9-3/4".

Whisper White greeting:  4" x 5 1/4", facing greeting for a personal note: 4" x 3-3/8", and 2" x 3" for belly band greeting.

DSP (Designer Series Paper):  3-1/2" x 5-1/4", (you can cut 2 of these pieces to decorate the inside and outside flaps) 1-1/2" x 5-1/4", and 1" x 5-1/4".

For the Belly Band:  1-1/2" x 11, and a coordinating color to the DSP at 1/2" x 11. (I used Bumblebee here to complement the yellows in the card.)

Greeting:  base cardstock piece at 3" x 4" to mat the greeting.

Additional supplies:  E block, and D block.

Happy Birthday Frame

YES!  I have been creating!  I promise.  I've posted on my Demonstrator Facebook page a little more often than here recently.  I don't watermark my things there - and can post more quickly.

I saw this frame from another demonstrator, and thought it would be PERFECT for a kid's birthday.  It's so colorful and bright. 

 The frame and background paper are scrapbook size - 12x12.  I used my "math teacher" skills to figure the sizes of the squares and rectangular pieces.
 Many of the pieces are cut from the Designer Series Paper that went along with the background papers.  It just looks so much like a party!
 There are many techniques here - die cutting (of course), fussy cutting, alcohol markers, heat embossing, ribbon, and bling!
 I had a lot of fun with my Enamel Glitter Dots after the frame pieces were finished!
I have another framed piece we made in my club, BUT I can't show it yet.  It's a gift.  I'll show the picture after it is presented.
