Enjoy the Rhythm Pop Up Card Tutorial

It’s Friday and that means a tutorial. This week I needed a birthday card for a friend who loves music and so I thought this card would be perfect for them. Bright and cheerful with a retro feel to it.. and it pops up to stand on their mantel too.

I originally designed this back in August and had thought about using it as a BackStage swap too, but then decided against it. You’re going to love the NEW Deckled Circle Dies (162286) they come in tons of sizes!

It has a nice little signature panel on the back that pulls in the music too.

Want to see how I made this card? I’ve whipped up a video tutorial when I was creating it and of course a PDF tutorial for you too. I’m just loving this pattern from the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper stack (161640) it’s designed to have patterns that work with all kinds of our stamp sets.

Enjoy the Rhythm Pop Up Card Tutorial PDF

If you have someone in your life that loves music you might enjoy this set too. It’s filled with wonderful images and sentiments.

Pick of the Patch Tutorial #BackStage Swap

Today is going to be short and sweet since I’m taking my computer back to Best Buys to finish things up, I’m hoping. You just don’t know how much you need something until it doesn’t work right. lol.

Today’s card was created with one of the NEW Mini Catalog Bundles, Pick of the Patch (162200) that will be available to order starting on September 6th when the September – December Mini goes LIVE. I couldn’t resist this fun little set that has these cute little pumpkin and gourd images perfect for fall and Halloween.

I’ve teamed up the set with the Them Bones Designer Series Paper (162215) that has this wonderfully warm plaid pattern done in rich warm tones for the season. I think you’ll really enjoy these patterns found in the paper which you focus on the Halloween side or the more neutral side like this one.

This card seemed to be a hit during the swap on Thursday evening. I have a quick video tutorial for you and PDF showing you how I created this card.

Team Time Fun

Each month I gather with my Team, the Blue Mountain Stampers and we share what we have been doing over the past weeks. Among other things we also swap cards and stamp together. It’s a lot of fun having a community of crafters that gather like this. Today’s cards are part of the swaps that were shared.

This first card uses the Marvelous Nature stamp set (161252) and our Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 161139). The monochromatic card has been stamped using our

returning color Pretty Peacock and the wings have been partially cut so they have a bit of lift to them. The background has a bit of texture added to it by dry embossing with the Timeworn 3D Embossing Folder. A bit of shimmer was added with the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (158130). I love the way that these gems pick up the color your using them with.

This next is a book fold that has been created with the Zoo Crew Suite Collection (161319 )

The fun fold and little images have been cut from the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper (161304). And the sentiments have been stamped using the Zany Zoo stamp set (161305) using Memento Tuxedo Black and a little pop of color has been added with our Classic Matte Dots (158146).

Little Monkey

Oh what fun is the zoo! And these little monkeys are too cute.

Little Monkey Bundle (161379) is filled with adorable images and fun sayings AND has a coordinating Little Monkey Builder Punch (161378) who wouldn’t love that?

Check out these fun cards using the Bundle. This first card uses the punch for a bold look.

A bit of texture was added to the back ground with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) and our quick and easy Stampin’ Blends were used to color the vegetation. Or how about this fun little card to say HI to someone?

It also has been colored with our Stampin’ Blends and a to of “sky” has been added behind using the Blending Brushes (153611) and some Classic Ink.

Monkeys for us have become a family favorite when visiting the zoo. On a trip to Honolulu’s Zoo last year we ran across a Gibbon monkey, this little guy was very vocal. Check out this quick little video I took. Click HERE or on my photo below.

It was so funny we were mesmerized and spent quite a while watching him sing and sing. This little guy marks his territory by a whooping, piercing “song,” and he went on for a while, you could hear him across the zoo too. LOL. We’ve never seen anything like it. (You can learn more about him HERE on the zoo’s website). By the way this zoo was a wonderful, if you have a few hours why not check it out?

So what do you think? Do you find this set as adorable as I do? Why not check it out in my Online Store?

Sweet Songbird Note of Thanks Tutorial

Today’s card uses the Sweet Songbirds stamp set (158721) and while it is a quick and easy fun fold it uses some bold color to really make it pop.

Done in Blueberry Bushel and Tahitian Tide it’s bright and cheerful. And while this stamp set has a coordinating Songbird Builder Punch (158726) giving it even more versatility this card is done with simple stamping. My daughter is a music teacher so I’m always creating thank you cards for her and figured this one will work well for her thank you cards that she’ll need for band camp this month. Want to see how I made it? Here is a quick Video and PDF Tutorial for you.
