Simply Leaves with a floral twist

 Today I have a card using the Simply Leaves stamp set by Stampin' Up! but with a floral twist to the design.  I hope you like it.  I was inspired by a card I saw using the leaves to make a sunflower.  It inspired to me to make this floral design.  I added a fun fold and used the Everyday Arches dies and I was very pleased with the results.  This card would make a beautiful birthday card or work for several other occasions as well just by changing the sentiment.  Of course, you can personalize the card with the recipient's favorite color as well.  There are so many ways to use it don't you think?  You will find a video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this direct link.

Oh My Fright interlocking triangular box

Hello and thank you for stopping by my blog today!  I have a clever little triangular box I saw Lauren Urbonis making and had to give it a try.  She had made hers for Christmas in July and I thought it would be nice to use the Oh My Fright bundle and make one for Halloween.  I changed one of the measurements slightly but overall, the box design is as she demonstrated it.   While it looks complicated, it's rather easy to make.  I chose to decorate all three box sides on my project, but you could definitely just decorate the center panel for the front of your box.  To watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel, click on this direct link.

    Score the 11" piece on the long side at 3 1/2", 7 and 10 1/2"
    Score on the 4 1/8" side at 1 1/16" each end
    On the smaller piece, place a tick mark in the center of the 3 1/2" side at 1 3/4", then cut from tick mark to the right bottom corner and then again from the same mark to the left bottom corner to form a triangle for the bottom of the box.
Granny Apple Green cardstock for layering base
    (3) pieces each 1 3/4" x 3 1/4"
    (3) pieces each 7/8" x 3 1/2"
DSP of your choosing (I made mine using Very Vanilla cardstock)
    (3) pieces each 1 1/2" x 3"
    (3) pieces each 5/8" x 3 1/2" (these will be full strips added to the cardstock with borders top & bottom)
Decorative Panels: Very Vanilla cardstock (3) each 1 1/4" x 2 3/4" if decorating all three panels.
Ink Pads:  Smoky Slate, Blackberry Bliss, Basic Beige & Black
Wink of Stella Glitter Brush 141897

A seaside birthday card with hot foil!

Hello all!  I'm introducing the brand new Stampin' Hot Foil system by Stampin' Up! today! This system will be available to customers beginning Friday, July 10th (yes, in just two more days!)  I love this system and have been wanting to try hot foiling for quite some time.  I'm so glad I waited since Stampin' Up! has introduced any easy-to-use machine that doesn't take up a bunch of space and works with the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine I already own.  It's a win-win for me and for you!  In my video tutorial this week you will find an introduction to the machine, a small demonstration on how it works and a card tutorial for a seaside birthday card.  To watch the video tutorial over on YouTube, click this direct video link.
