SOFT SEEDLINGS


I saw a card like this and loved the simplicity of it.  I think this will also make a great design to use for Thanksgiving cards.  There are some great cards out there using multiple colors of ink on the stamp too.

Thank you for coming by today!

MEMORY BOX - Wild Blooms die


It was time to pull out a die that I hadn't used in a long time.  There was a time when I couldn't get enough Memory Box and/or Poppy Stamps brand dies.  I have quite a collection but haven't been making good use of them for some time.  

I love this design because it is so simple.  I embossed the white layer with the Stampin' Up! textured folder and then cut the design with the Wild Blooms die.  The navy card base then shows through the cut out area.  I stamped the sentiment and punched it out.  It was added with dimensionals.

Thanks for coming by today!

STAMPIN' UP! - Sun Prints DSP


Making a card doesn't get much easier than this.  I took a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of the dsp and added it to a white mat that measured 4" x 5 1/4".  This was then added to the navy card base.  All I had to do was add the little pearls and I was done.  This designer paper is gorgeous!

USING RETIRED DSP WITH DAISIES


A few days ago I posted another card like this and said I would be posting another one today because that one didn't fold out as far as this one.  


Not sure why this picture makes the paper looked so washed out.  Here you can see how that panel to the far right stretches out......but it worked to glue it down too.

Thank you for coming by today!

TWO MORE CARDS USING BIRD BALLAD DSP



This card is being scheduled in advance since we stayed over night when we went to see our granddaughter yesterday.  I don't think the cards need any explanation, but if you have questions, just let me know.

Thank you for stopping by today!

CONNIE STEWART'S TREAT BOX

Today we are traveling to see our Granddaughter who is enrolled in the PA program in Dubuque, Ia.  Since it is close to Halloween, we are taking a bucket of treats, fresh chocolate chip cookies and a mini  loaf of banana bread made yesterday.

Recently Connie Stewart, Simple Simply Stamping, showed how to make a box that would be just the right size for two Little Debbie snack cakes.  I want to make three for some special trick or treaters but thought it would be good to see how difficult they are to make.  EASY, PEASEY!  And the double packs of snack cakes fit perfectly.

Most of my Halloween supplies have been been away so I grabbed a Paper Pumpkin kit that I had purchase from someone on Facebook and used the stamps and scalloped die cut from the box.  

If you are interested in making some of these little boxes to hand out, just do a search for Connie Stewart on YouTube and scroll through her videos.  The one for this box shows a picture of one as you scroll through the list.

FANCY FOLD USING AWASH IN BEAUTY DSP

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO OUR CANADIAN FRIENDS!



The card only uses an 11" x 5 1/2" piece of card stock for the base.


The flower stamp was used with VersaMark ink to randomly stamp around the 3 3/4" x 5 1/2" section of the Rich Razzleberry card stock.  However I messed up with some of it to the left side of the panel.  The narrow flowered section was supposed to be loose but I glued it down to hide the area I had messed up.  (Come back Friday and you will see the way the card was intended.)  This certainly works too.

Thanks for coming by today!
