Cascade Pleat Fun Fold

 Hello,

Have you melted yet? Its been so hot and humid here in southern Ontario that staying outdoors for any length of time is brutal. So, I've been in my craft room making cards and organizing (again). Sometimes I think I like organizing more that actually making cards 😊.

Today's card idea comes from Tami White. You can check her blog for a tutorial. 

This card really showcases designer series paper. 

You can dress the card up or keep it simple. Just be aware, the more you add the bulkier the card gets. 

Thanks for stopping by. Until next time....

Cards

 Hello,

I'm a little behind in posting my makes lately. Here's a card dump.

That's all for now. Thanks for stopping by. Until next time....

Its been too hot!

 Hello,

This week has been brutal. Hot temperatures and humidity, neither of which I enjoy. So it was off to the craft room and the AC.

The first card was made with the Beautiful Gallery designer series paper. A simple card where the paper takes the stage.

Next, a fun summer card. When I saw the Day of Summer dies from PaperTrey I knew I had to have them. How cute are those flip flops?

And of course what is there to do but relax when the weather is bad. This card was made with the In the Moment stamp set and the Thoughtful Journey designer series paper.

Lastly, a card made with a new technique...at least for me. A friend gave me a stamping foam. This foam gets heated and pressed into practically anything. For the background I pressed the stamping foam onto a rubber shelf liner, inked it up and stamped it onto card stock. Once the foam is cleaned with water the foam is heated up again and the pressed design sort of melts away leaving the stamping block clear again. Its like magic.

I also used my favourite dies, Colour and Contour. I just love the scalloped dies. The flower is from the Gallery Blooms stamp set.

I hope you stay cool wherever you are. Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time....
