Tuck & Fold Card

This is a fun to make Fun-Fold card that is called Tuck & Fold.

This first card uses the DELICATE WHISPERS BUNDLE and the DELICATE DREAMS DSP. I think that this designer paper is so stunning, and it has elements of copper in it, therefore it is considered a Specialty Paper. - These items (from both sets) are in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES and are still available to purchase.

The card opens opposite so I wonder how many of my Tuesday stampers with "get it" - no worries, I am always there to help!!

I heat embossed the image on the right with copper embossing powder then added 3 of the die cut flowers (Secret Sea)

What I changed up is the inside sentiment, but I kept the same sentiment for the front - all from DELICATE DREAMS Stamp Set.

A second version of this card uses the HOMEMADE SWEETNESS DSP and the FILLED WITH SWEETNESS BUNDLE.

 I love the elegance of the first card, but I love the sweetness of the second card. I did a bunch of fussy cutting for card #2, but on the first card there is a lot of die cutting.  I think that I like the fussy cutting better, but am thankful for the "bonus" dies that come with the bundles. I call them bonus dies because there is no stamped image that goes with them.

These cards were cased from Lisa Curcio and you can see her blog post and watch a video by clicking on her name

Accordion fun Fold Card

There are 2 ways to crate this card that was inspired by G

I chose the simpler version for my Tuesday stampers showing how they can used their 2-sided Designer Papers to create this card.

You can follow G and her sister Maude on this YouTube link

I used the LOVELY & BEAUTIFUL Specialty Designer Paper that has some Gold foiling in it. I changed it up with the sentiment and stamp set for the flower using SIMPLY SAID and BOUTIQUE BLOSSOMS. I also gave it a layer behind the SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE circle using the SCALLOPED BLOOMS Dies.

This card has a fun pocket inside to tuck your note card into and you could even use it to send or give a gift card (or cash). Think of all the possibilities!

Team Make & Take

At our team meeting we end the night with a Make & Take project.

I chose to show them how to use their designer paper up. As demonstrators & crafters, we tend to "collect" these beautiful papers, then don't know what to do with them once they retire.

We are using GARDEN POETRY Designer Paper (which is current) and the PARADISE GARDEN Stamp Set (current)

The designer paper comes in a variety of colors: shown are Blackberry Bliss & Poppy Parade, but others made one in Blueberry Bliss & Crushed Curry. Also included in this paper pack is Shaded Spruce, but I didn't think they would want a green flower. LOL!!

Measurements: 

Base: 5-1/2" x 4-1/4

DSP: 5-1/4" x 12" scored at 1", 4", 6", 8"

The scalloped oval & oval comes from FRAMED VIOLETS Bundle.

Basic White: 1-15/16" x 5" -mI know that this is an odd measurement but if it is any wider it would show 

I also added some Wink of Stella on the flower and added some white dots from the MOODY PALETTE DOTS.

Guest Stamper, Janell

My Guest Stamper today is Janell

Janell shared a couple cards that she will be featuring at her class on Saturday.

WOOLY FRIENDS stamp set - super cute! I think I might be that black sheep!! Not really - I do love the colors on this card and how the black sheep stands out

MOONLIT FLORA DSP & the FERN & FLORA Bundle. What a beautiful card.  I am not a "green" person, but this paper is stunning.

Especially when you give it the pop of color with Berry Burst.

This is a must CASE card too.

Guest Stamper, Carla

Today's Guest Stamper is Carla

Carla's cards have a great summer feel to them

Can't you just imagine relaxing in an Adirondack chair, enjoying the summer weather!!

Or spending some time by the beaches here in Michigan!

She made a cute little box with life saver treats inside. How bright and cheery are these!!

Love the Pooh card, of course, and the cute little deer card was made using one of the Product Of The Month stamp sets, Notes of Nature.

BUT... how thoughtful is this??!! 

Carla made a 100 year birthday card for my dad!! He will be celebrating his 100th birthday on July 27th.

Us four sisters are planning an open house for him on the 25th and he will be honored on our local News 8 with an interview.  His church also is planning to honor him at Sunday morning service the 26th. He hasn't been able to attend church for quite some time so this will be extra special. We are very proud of him, not just for living so very long, but for the gift of service he gave to his country during WW11 from 1944-1946.

If you would care to send him birthday card you can send it to my address:
