Hello Back Bend Fun Fold card with Sweet Bugs

 Today I have another fun fold card for you. This one is called the back bend card.  I saw it and had to give it a try.  I altered the measurements though because I didn't think the right-side measurement was large enough.  I wanted a little more room to adhere my focal point.  I also think it's a little more ascetically pleasing to my eye.  You can watch the video tutorial on how to make a card like this one over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Hello Case-ing Tuesday 547 sketch challenge

For today's card I've used the Case-ing Tuesday 547 sketch challenge.  You can find them over on Facebook.  Each week they take a card from a Stampin' Up! catalog, create the working sketch and challenge everyone to make a project using the layout. I though this layout was interesting and so I decided to make a card using it.  The card you see here is not where I started.  I was trying to use the Swirled Designs bundle along with the Made with Love designer series paper.  I was sucessful in part; however, the flower I was trying to use just wasn't working.  As I had already made the card you saw on Wednesday, I had the idea to switch out the flower for the woolly friend you see below.  It worked way better than my original idea and is much cuter than I anticipated.  Of course, I could have just switched at the swirly flower with a different flower, but as I was already working with Woolly Friends, this just made more sense to me.  I would love to see if you can take this layout, a flower set you have on hand and recreate with your stamps & dies.  You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.




Supplies and measurements:
Woolly Friends bundle* 166888 (includes stamps and coordinating punch)
Swirled Designs bundle* 167311 (includes stamps & coordinating dies)
Stylish Shapes dies 159183 (second & third smallest squares)
Fabulous Sayings 167973 (January Product of the Month $5 with qualifying purchase)
Made with Love DSP 167054
    (2) pieces 1 1/2" square, (1) piece 1 1/2" x 2 1/8"
Basic White cardstock 1/4" sheet for die cutting & stamping, inside layer 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"
Cloud Cover cardstock for card base 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored in center at 4 1/4"
Ink Pads: Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Bubble Bath
Stampin' Blends markers: Petal Pink, Bubble Bath
Moody Palette Glossy Dots 167180

You're the sweetest woolly friend

 My featured bundle this week is Woolly Friends.  Of course, I have to mash it up with some other products to make the cutest little friend card.  This card is perfect for Valentine's Day or any day for that matter.  I've used the Lovely Doilies and scored it as was shown by Sara Douglas on each of the scallops which gave it a little lift.  She used hers to make a medallion but that wasn't the look I was actually going for.  You can watch the video tutorial on how I made this card over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.




Supplies and measurements:
Woolly Friends bundle* 166888 (includes stamps & coordinating punch)
Banner Sayings bundle* 167051 (includes stamps & coordinating three banner punch)
Endless Love dies 167061 (can be purchased in a bundle* with coordinating stamps)
Hearts of Love 3D embossing folder 167071
Lovely Doilies 167104
Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink gems 165615
Real Red & White Baker's Twine 164051
Ink Pads: Secret Sea, Bubble Bath, Real Red, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive
Stampin' Blends alcohol markers: Petal Pink, Bubble Bath

I hope you will give this a try.  I'll post an additional card over on my Facebook page I made with this exact layout, in blues and with the sentiment Welcome little cutie that would be perfect for a new baby.

Until next time; be happy, good health to you and happy stamping!

Loose Valentine's shaker treat box

Hello and happy Sunday!  I have a cute little treat box for you today and I've made it extra special by adding a shaker element.  I typically don't like to make traditional shaker cards unless I'm hand delivering them.  I always hand deliver treats so a shaker box works perfectly for those.  This box doesn't take a lot of supplies to make and once you get the hand of them, they're really pretty quick and easy.  I have a video tutorial over on my YouTube page you will want to watch to see how I put it together.  You can see it here by clicking this link.  You will notice in the photos below I added an additional piece of dsp to the inside of the box top.  You could see the glue lines through the vellum, so I covered it.  I didn't cut the inside piece at the same time as the top two.  Because it's vellum, if you're off a tiny bit, it really doesn't show through.  




Supplies and measurements:
Endless Love dies 167061 (can be purchased in a bundle* with a coordinating stamp set)
Valentine Kisses stamp set 167027 (can be purchased in a bundle* with coordinating dies)
Real Red Ink
Real Red & White Baker's twine 164051
Bubble Bath Faux Linen ribbon 167075
Poppy Parade cardstock for box, 4 1/2" x 8"
    Score on 4 1/2" side at 1/4" & 3/4" each end
    Score on 8" side at 1/2" & 3 3/4" each end
Made With Love DSP 2 7/8" x 3 1/8" (portrait if directional) (two pieces or one piece and one in plain cardstock for inside.
Vellum 2 7/8” x 3 1/8”
Window Sheet 2 3/4” x 3”
Loose Valentine Assortment 167074
Adhesive Strips 141825

Finished box size is 3" w x 3 1/4" h x 1/2" d

I hope you will give these a try.  I'm sure your friends and family would be thrilled to receive one of these handmade treat boxes for Valentines.

Until next time; be happy, good health to you and happy stamping!

Happy Birthday bee fun fold

For my project today, I'm bringing in a stamp set that was been around for a bit, hopefully, you have it on hand already.  It works for so many things.  I decided to make this a very easy fun fold card.  Just one extra score and voila, you have this fun fold made easily.  You will find a video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link. 




Supplies and measurements: 
Bee My Valentine stamps 162547
Bee Builder Punch 162553

Poppy Parade cardstock for card base 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 1 1/4" & 5 1/2" on the long side
Made with Love DSP 167054
    1 piece 1" x 5 1/4" & 1 piece 2 3/4" x 5 1/4"
Early Espresso cardstock scraps
Basic White cardstock
    inside layer 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"
    scraps for stamping & die cutting
    piece for label approx 3 3/4" x 3 1/8"
scrap of vellum 
    Tiny Bee trinkets 164714
Ink Pads: Pool Party, Secret Sea, Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade

Wink of Stella Glitter Brush 141897

Embossing Additions Tool kit 159971

I hope you give this fun fold a try.  I did have a bit of trouble using the small little bird as an anchor to keep the card closed during the video.  I revamped it, cut the bird die in thick basic white three times, glued each layer on top of the other and added my stamped bird image over the top.  I then placed a double stack of glue dots on my card where I needed it and added the bird stack to the glue dots.  It isn't perfect, but it works with such a small image.  

You will find all the supplies I've used today in my online store by clicking on the shopping cart to the right.  Thank you so much for stopping by!  I'm so pleased you did.

Until next time; be happy, good health to you and happy stamping!
