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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

Oh Hello Pop ‘n Cuts Treat Box

Wow, its Friday already – the week has really flown by. Today I’m going to share with you a new video showing you my Oh, Hello Pop ‘n CutsTreat Box that I recently did with the Blue Mountain Stampers during our monthly TEAM meeting.

Pop 'n Cuts Treat Box close up

I love the way this little Pop ‘n Cuts Treat Box turned out. It is a quick and easy project since you start with our Card Base Pop ‘n Cuts Die (item 130099). And the little box is really good sized so you can get a lot of great chocolate or other goodies into it. Hmm…I’m thinking it may be a great Treat Box for my daughter’s upcoming graduation party. I’ll have to get back to you on that one.

So without further ado…. here is my latest video – Pop ‘n Cuts Treat Box

Spring Sampler Treat Box Tutorial

I made this cute little treat box using the Spring Sampler Stamp Set (item 125510/125512). I knew when I saw this set in the Spring Catalog I just had to have it – it’s so me. I could picture making quick and easy treats for all kinds of occasions.

Spring Sampler Treat boxI think the images in the Spring Sampler Stamp Set are just too cute! How about you?

Here is the Treat Box we made as a project during my March Blue Mountain Stampers meeting. We had a lot of fun thinking of different things (mostly chocolate) that we could put in the box. This time  we filled them with these yummy eggs (They come in all kinds of flavors and remind me of those I got as a child.) Shhh… don’t tell my family. They’ll be finding theirs in their rooms Easter morning. I think my hubby will love the cookie dough egg I picked out for him!

Spring Sampler Box with Chocolate

We had so much fun making these quick and easy Treat boxes I thought you’d enjoy making them too for your friends and family. So why not check out my new video below – Spring Sampler Treat Box.
