Corner Fold

Hello,

I found this corner flip card on Pinterest. I searched hi and low before I found a tutorial on how to make the card on  Buckeye Inklings. This card uses one of my favourite stamps and DSP from Stampin' Up, Honey Bee and Golden Honey. It took me a while to get the angles right and to cut the paper (which I cut incorrectly twice! math is not a strong skill for me, lol)

Inside, see how the corner flips.

That's it for today. Until next time.

More Peonies

Hello,

Do you ever have tons of scraps left over? Those smaller pieces of DSP that won't fit an entire card? Well, here's a card, CASE'd from Helzie Slimm, that uses some scraps from the Peony Garden DSP. I've coloured the middle section with Petal Pink Stampin' Blends, added a sentiment from the Wetlands stamp set and mounted it on cardstock cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies. 

Until next time.

Happy Birthday

Hello,

It is a hot one out there 🌞. Best to enjoy indoor activities today. 

This is another pop up card using the Happy Birthday to You stamp set and matching dies from Stampin' Up. I like this set because the die cut flowers can be used for many ideas on your cards.

and inside...

Until next time...stay cool.

Celebrate Every Moment

Hello,

Life is short, celebrate every moment....especially during these turbulent times. 

This is a fun pop up card made with Stampin' Up's Golden Honey DSP and Honey Bee stamps and dies. 

At times the need to improvise is required and this was no exception. I didn't have any matching ribbon for this card so I coloured some white ribbon with Pineapple Punch Stampin' Blends. I CASE'd the card from Lynn Dunn at Stamptastic Designs.

The inside of the card has the pop up folds where I adhered some little busy bees. I think I could have added a few more bees at the bottom of the strip, it looks a little bare.  

If I am giving the card away I often leave the inside blank for a personal sentiment. 

Until next time.

Braided card

Hello,

Today's card features a new technique, at least for me. A braided card. I found the tutorial on Lisa Curcio's You Tube channel.  Lisa has tons of tips and tricks for cardmaking. 

It was easy to make. Although, I rushed through the instructions and made a mistake so take your time.

Happy Birthday

Hello,

I love the soft colours of this card. There is something about the flowers and the scalloped edges of the cardstock that makes it a very feminine birthday card. This stamp set would make a lovely wedding card too.

3D Peony

Hello,

I am in love with the Prized Peony stamps and dies. I CASE'd this card from Akiko Sudano at Stampin in the Meadows. Akiko has a video on how to assemble the 3D peony, and thank goodness she does because I would never have figured out how to do it. I changed my card up a bit, opting for a different sentiment and omitting the ribbon. I also added some dimentionals under the petals to give them a lift.
