Forever Fern Card Box

This is a gift set either for a friend or yourself!  As you look through this post, you'll ask, "What's missing?"  It's the ribbon!  My shipment of ribbon didn't arrive until after I took the photos!

This project will take us a bit of time during our club meeting.  It's a Mini Paper Pumpkin box decorated with the DSP and mat pieces as well as stamped and gold foil pieces.  All the cards will also get their ribbon embellishments.  I'll provide the gold hoops for the ladies to add to their cards or boxes.  I don't have enough for my projects and theirs.

Whimsy Card Zebra! 2021 Stamp Club

The ladies in my club have asked for more whimsy type stamping ideas.  I actually had the zebra stamps, they just needed to be used.  I also had a request for more ideas using the In-Colors DSP.  

The Magenta color isn't showing well here - it's a really nice bright pink.  I'll work on photographing it so it shows better.

Here we go!

I hope you like this little guy.  He's so cute!  The zebra stamps have lots of different options.

For the greeting on the front, I used a new die from our Mini Catalog that runs from January 5th to the end of June.  You'll see many references to it!

Hydrangea Hill Suite

The cards here show different ways to use the entire suite of products known as the Hydrangea Hill Suite.

At the bottom of this post, I added the link for the entire suite of products.  There are beautiful  hydrangea stamps and gorgeous Designer paper.


This card, I used a piece of the green gingham paper from the reverse side of the paper as an accent to set off the very busy paper behind the flower.


Here I used the die cut flower with ribbon as an embellishment.


I call these "Nothing Cards".  Why?  This card is only DSP, a stamp, and the pastel pearls.

I want to take this gorgeous DSP and use one entire pack cut up to make 72 cards.  When I get that project going, I'll show pictures.  I'm currently in the middle of another 72 card set.  Pictures of that are coming soon.

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.
