File Folder Card #1 inside

My friend Marni seemed to love her card when we celebrated her 40th birthday with a High Tea party at Mittie’s Tea Room Café in Alpharetta. This was a new experience for me since I’ve never had high tea before and everything was scrumptious. I really can’t even tell you what my favorite goodie was – that’s how good everything was. Here is a picture of the dessert plate.

Think Pink

Yesterday kicked off Breast Cancer Awareness Month and so I thought I would share with you some pink themed cards that I received.

Serene Silhouettes leadership swap 2013

This first card uses the Serene Silhouettes Stamp Set (132073/127324) and is done in our 2012-2013 In Color, Primrose Petals. Silhouette stamps are great for all kinds of techniques and I really like all the images in this set they are great for all kinds of occasions.

Stippled Blossoms leadership swap 2013

Isn’t this a great card? I just love the softness of the Pink Pirouette and the Primrose Petals together. Sara used the Stippled Blossoms (132076/126747) and Field Flowers stamp sets (128583/122762) to create this soft look.

And this last card uses a combination of Soft Suede and Pink Pirouette. A color combination you can’t go wrong with, right?

Everything Eleanor Leadership swap 2013

I hope you can see that the flower image from the Everything Eleanor stamp set (131987/124164) has been popped up. This card has a lot of great texture to it.

Magnificent Maple Extended Flip Card

This past week a very special childhood friend of mine celebrated his 81st birthday and I wanted to make him a card he’d flip over – so I made this Magnificent Maple Extended Flip Card for him using our new Circle Card Thinlits Die and the Magnificent Maple single stamp from the Holiday Catalog.

Extended Flip Card front

I thought it would be fun to use the Circle Card Thinlits Die since it makes flip or swing cards so easy to make. And I couldn’t resist adding a bit of “bling” to make it extra special, since Dick has been like a second father to me over the years and always makes me smile. I love getting together with him and hearing his latest joke or funny story. I’m sorry to say it just doesn’t happen frequent enough now a days.

Extended Flip Card Open (1)

Because I wanted to have a little more room to sign this card I created this extended flip card. Want to know how I did it? I made a quick video to show you how – How to Make an Extended Flip Card.

And while I was at it I made a quick tutorial to show you how I created the extended flip card too. Hope you enjoy it!

Magnificent Maple Extended Flip Card Tutorial (PDF)

I think you’ll find these cards so much fun to make you’ll want both the Card Thinlits Dies. After all who can resist the Circle Card or Label Card Thinlits Dies and all the extra pieces they come with?

Happy Day

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. I spent a quiet day here in Clarkesville with the family watching the rain come down. It was a rather wet and soggy day for us. One of those days you just want to curl up with a good book or hang out in your stamping space – lol.

Want a quick and easy card? Try the NEW stamp set Happy Day (item 130294/130297). The images are lovely and the greetings fun and bold. The set coordinates beautifully with the Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper (item 130131) found on page 154 in the Catalog.

DSC01856

Don’t you love the colors in this Designer Series Paper? It was hard to choose which ones I would use to stamp with but I finally decided on the Coastal Cabana and Smoky Slate, two of our NEW colors that were just introduced in June.

I used one of my sharpies to color the Rhinestone accents on this card. I’d recently come across a 80’s set in my local big box store that I had picked up and found that a lot of them are working well with the Color Refresh Colors. How cool is that?

Are you wondering how I cut the top of this card? I call it my roofline cut – that is since I don’t know what else to call it and it sort of looks like a roof to me.  Making this cut was quick and simple with my Stampin’ Trimmer.  Want to see how I created this shape? I made a quick video to show you.

Click HERE for a copy of my Happy Day PDF with supplies and measurements to create this card.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Happy Day (item 130294/130297)

Inks: Coastal Cabana and Smoky Slate

Paper: Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper (item 130131), Crushed Curry and Whisper White

Accessories: Large Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Rhinestone Basic Jewels and Dimensionals

Language of Friendship Filter Flowers Tutorial

I love the sentiment in the Language of Friendship stamp set (item 122750/122752) and thought it was perfect sentiment for this card I made recently for my friend’s birthday.

Language of Friendship

Do you like the filter flower on this card? If you follow my blog you’ve heard me mention before that I love our Stampin’ Spritzer (item 126185) and find them rather addictive, so I thought I would try them with our NEW White Creped Filter Paper (item 129393) from the Spring Catalog.

Since I’ve tried making my first filter flower they’ve become rather an obsession of mine; right now I’m finding that I’ve been adding them to everything – lol.

I’m having so much fun making these filter flowers that I wanted you to be able to join in the fun too! So here is my latest video tutorial – Stampin’ Spritzer Filter Flowers. I hope you’ll enjoy it.

And if you liked the video you’ll want a copy of my FREE Tutorial for my Language of Friendship card. You can just click on the link below to get your copy.
