CARD: Praying for You Sympathy Card
April 8, 2016 by
Gorgeous sympathy card from the Thoughts and Prayers stamp set. The flowers are punched from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack. The striped designer paper is from the Birthday Bouquet DSP. The ribbon is the natural Chevron ribbon, upside down so the stripes don't show. Designed by Liz Miller.
CARD: Dear Friend Card from Stampin Up Birthday Blooms
April 7, 2016 by
Today's card is another beauty from the Stampin Up Birthday Blooms stamp set in the Occasions Catalog. Put some adhesive (snail or fast fuse) on the back of the top layer and along the edges to secure the Silver thread so it doesn't slip. Colored with the blender pens (or you can use Stampin Write markers). A light sponging around the edges. Colors are Pink Pirouette, pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White and Basic Black. Designed by my friend Denise.

SUNBURST SUNFLOWER CARD
Today's sunburst sunflower card is so cool! The Stampin Up Sunburst die has been begging me to turn it into a sunflower lol. Talk about "outside the box". It came out even cooler then I pictured it in my head. Check out my youtube "how to" video below with the easy, step by step instructions. Step aside Linda Ronstadt...I broke out into a little sing along part way through the card making. It's not pretty, but no glass shattered when I hit the high notes so nothing was damaged lol. I left it in the video for your viewing enjoyment. I say "viewing" because you'll probably be covering your ears to block out the sound hahaha. You're welcome.Tuesday’s Stampin Scoop Show – Episode 5 – Retirement List & New Catty Dates plus Kits

LOADS OF THANKS CARD
I just love this Loads of Thanks card from the Stampin Up You're Sublime stamp set. The wheelbarrel is so cute with the flowers punched from the little flower punch in the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack. The Paper accents are from the Pretty Petals designer paper stack. If you love designer patterned papers, and like ideas for them.

CURTAIN FOLD CARD
Today's card technique is called the "Curtain Fold" or "Drapery Fold". It's surprisingly easy, and really enhances the double sided designer paper. This card was created by my friend Martha for our Stamp It Demonstrator group card swap. She used the Botanical Builders bundle (matching stamps, paper and framelits) to pull it all together. See my youtube video below to learn how to make this fun fold technique. You'll be surprised at how easy it is. The measurements, and scoring details, are on the free pdf file below.VIDEO: How to make munching Erick the Elephant Card

There's always time for tea and you...I love this saying from the Stampin Up A Nice Cuppa stamp set. This is such a pretty card, the melon mambo and wisteria wonder color combo really pull together nicely. Designed by Veronica.
