Happy April Fools Day! can you believe how quickly the year is going by? And it’s no joke!

Twenty-Two years ago today I was in the hospital, getting every April Fools joke you can think of about labor – while in labor with our first child. The time has flown by and he is now 22! Yikes. So on my agenda today is creating something special for his birthday that I’ll be sharing with you later this week.

Meanwhile, I told you yesterday that I would share more of the cards that I received from my friends during this month’s meeting. So here are two more from my friends Anna and Janie.

This first card is clean and simple and uses the stamp set Lots of Thanks (129687/129690) along with our monochromatic Designer Series Paper, Modern Medley (126926).

Lots of Thanks Stamp Divas March swap 2014 Anna

If you are looking for a great place to start your stamping a monochromatic Designer Series Paper is a great place to start. This card uses just three items, Very Vanilla and Basic Black Card stock and Ink. Along with your favorite stamp set and you can create a ton of clean and classic cards.

This second card is for the Big Shot lover in us all and uses the Oh,Hello stamp set (131931/130733).

Oh, Hello Blue Mountain Stamper March 2014 Janie

This card is fun and filly and for the girl in all of us. Janie uses the Dress Up Framelits (130101) for the focal point along with the Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack (132996). Too cute right? I love the little pearl necklace and the Coastal Cabana 3/8″ Ruffle Stretch Trim.

Lots of Thanks File Folder Card

Last week I shared with you how much fun it is to use the Envelope Punch Board to make a file folder card. Well today I’m going to share another card I created using the Envelope Punch Board. This one is a double tab file folder card I made using the Lots of Thanks Stamp Set and the Magnificent Maple single stamp that you can find in the Holiday Catalog.

File Folder Card #2

This card also uses the Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper – if you haven’t already gotten some for yourself there is still time. I think you’ll love working with these patterns and colors just as much as I do. The Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper is  great for masculine cards along with all your fall and winter cards that you’ll be making. You’ve seen me use it on other cards that you can find in some of my earlier posts.

I really liked the way this card turned out and it seems so did my friends during our Stamp Diva meeting. So today I thought I would share a video I made for you on how to create this card – I’ve called it File Folder Card #2.

An original title right? Well this title, while not terribly original, gives you a hint that there are more File Folder Card Video Tutorials to come each containing a different style – LOL. So watch for the next one soon.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Lots of Thanks (129687/129690) and Magnificent Maple (131868)

Inks: Tangerine Tango (126946), Crushed Curry (131173), Chocolate Chip (126979), and Sahara Sand (126976)

Paper:  Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper (132184), Crushed Curry (131199) and Very Vanilla Card Stock (101650)

Accessories: Envelope Punch Board (133774), Stampin’ Trimmer (126889), Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755), 7/16” Natural Trim (129287)

Lots of Thanks

I really am enjoying using the Lots of Thanks stamp set –  The selection of fonts and sentiments so great. For today’s project I’ve paired it up the Lots of Thanks with the Magnificent Maple single stamp from the Holiday Catalog.

Lots of thanks

How did I put this card together? Well first I used my Stampin’ Spritzer that I filled with bleach to spritz the Early Espresso card stock base that I used for this project. (You’ll want to make sure and designate a Stampin’ Spritzer for this use only. Bleach is tough to clean out of things and you don’t want to spoil your other projects.)

I added a strip of the absolutely gorgeous Birch Paper from the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit (found on page 18 in the Holiday Catalog) to the left side. There is a ton of this Birch Paper in the kit so you’ll have plenty to use for all kinds of projects!

I stamped my Magnificent Maple image after sponging it with Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, and Cherry Cobbler onto a piece of Whisper White card stock, sponged the edges with Early Espresso and then used my Stampin’ Distress Tool to rough up the edges. I mounted my focal point onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler that I also distressed and then added some Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before I added it to my card front.

For my sentiment I stamped it in Early Espresso and then ran it through the Big Shot using one of the accompanying pieces from the Circle Card Thinlits Die to create the banner. Sponged the edges and used my bone folder to curl the ends a bit.  I also ran a second one through the Big Shot using a piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock – that I sponged and then cut it in half and attached it to the back before adding it to my card front.

I really love the way it turned out and can’t wait to use the Birch Paper again for other projects.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Lots of Thanks (129687/129690) and Magnificent Maple (131868)

Inks: Cherry Cobbler 126966, Cajun Craze 126965, and Crushed Curry (131173)

Paper: Early Espresso (119686), Cherry Cobbler (119685), and Whisper White (100730)

Accessories: Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit (133463), Circle card Thinlits Die (133480), Stampin’ Distress Tool (127562), and Stampin’ Dimensionals

Lots of Thanks

Do you need a thank you card often? Well if you do this set is for you. Lot of Thanks (item 129687/129690) contains 9 different ways to say thank you! And this card teams up one of the greetings and our NEW Artisan Label Punch (item 130920). So who can resist right?

Lots of Thanks

My friend Anna gave me this card after our Blue Mountain Stampers’ Weekend Retreat to say thank you for the weekend. We’d had a blast stamping the night away and I have to say I was really tickled that she gave me this card because I loved what she was doing with her convention swaps and this is a modified version of her swap card.

Don’t you love all the color and textures?
