The pretty Fresh As A Daisy dsp by Stampin' Up! used to make a double fractured shutter card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop
WOW! This is a clean & simple card that I made last night. I love the way it turned out! It is bright & cheery & could be used for many different occasions. The black in this DSP just pops with the splash of colors added to it with the flower/leaf images. This DSP is the Daffodil Afternoon DSP that is a Sale-a-bration choice & you can get it for FREE with a $50 product order. How did I do it? Look how I layered the words........ 1. I stamped them onto a 2" strip of Very Vanilla card stock & punch it out using the Tailored Tag Punch. 2. I then used Basic Black card stock & punch out 2 Tailored Tag pieces. 3. NOTICE how I cut them using my scissors. One of them I cut in half vertically. And one of them I cut in half horizontally. 4. I then layered them behind the words. This is what it looks like from the back side when all layered together. *NOTE that I did snip off a little bit of the Basic Black card stock from each end of the Tailored Tag Punch once I got it layered together. This way there are even edges all the way around the layered words as shown above. I added the DSP strip along the inside edge of the card & it shows from the front then when the card is shut. Here are the supplies & measurements. stamp set: 'Special Moments'- Sale-a-bration choice & FREE with a $100 product order card stock: Old Olive- 5 1/2 x 7 1/2"- score at 4 1/4" & fold for card base Old Olive- 3/8 x 3 1/4" Basic Black- 2" strip- punch out 2 pieces with the Tailored Tag Punch.

3 Thoughtful Journey Season Ideas. This months Global Stampin Video hop all about seasons through the year.
Here is a fun fold latch card! I used the gorgeous Awash in Beauty DSP! Here is what the card looks like as you are starting to open it up. The flower is popped up with dimensionals. The flower is what holds the card shut by sliding the latch under the flower. This is what the card looks like when opened up! Check out the latch! I always like to find "other" ways to use punches. And I love the look when using this punch like this latch! How did I make the latch? I cut a 1 1/4" strip of Polished Pink card stock & punched it out using the Label Me Lovely Punch. Just slide the strip of card stock into the punch as shown & line it up so that there is just little notches on all 4 corners. Cool huh! Now the latch just needs to be tucked in under the flower again to hold the card shut. I think this is such a pretty card! Here are the supplies & measurements. stamp set: 'Peaceful Moments' (words) card stock: Polished Pink- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 3" & 7 1/4"- fold for card base Polished Pink- 1 1/4" strip- punch out for latch Granny Apple Green- 1 3/4" strip- punch out leaf with Bough Punch Basic White- 1 x 1 1/2"- stamp words onto Basic White- 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card designer paper: Awash in Beauty DSP 2 3/4 x 5 1/4"- flowers/leaves image 1 x 5 1/4"- pink/white flower/leaves 1 x 4"- pink/white flower/leaves for inside of card 1" strip- punch out blue little flowers with Bough Punch ink: Polished Pink other: Label Me Lovely Punch; Bough Punch; Opal Rounds; dimensionals; Wink of Stella I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!

* I was so lucky and was able to attend the Stampin' UP! Onstage Event at Houston Texas this month! Onstage is ran by Stampin' UP! and is where we learn how to use to new products "Onstage" and we celebrate a years worth of achievements "Onstage". Thus the name...Onstage! This is the first one in person since 2019!!! At these events of course there is some Card Swapping (organized and general), 3D Swapping, and gift giving, Below I have it organized as such so you can scroll and see what you like best! Under each image is the name of the stamper (if known) and a link the stamp set they used. *Stampin' UP! image above was made using little color squares and was like a giant paint by numbers. It took takes to make and many demonstrators to help! It turned out beautiful! **Some swaps were missing names attached and you will see them listed as Mystery Stamper Queens of the Stamp Age at Onstage Left to Right Top: Natalie White, Brandi Barnard, Kristie Hamilton, Kasia, Shannon West, Rachael Coon, Lynda Day, Sherri Robison, Amelia Hurst, Paula Skeen, Karen Hoffman, Bottom: Tricia Williams, Candice Anderson, Chelsey Christensen, ?, Melissa Colliage (bonus Queen) Front: Ashley Van Camp Queens Swaps By Brandi Barnard (Team Leader) Bright Skies By Amelia Hurst Hooray For Surprises Dies By Amelia Hurst Mini Alphabet Dies By Candice Anderson Filled with Fun Dies By Kristie Hamilton Painted Lavender By Paula Skeen Simply Sparkling Bundle By Paula Skeen Just Kiddin' Suite Collection By Melanie Williams Ice Cream Swirl Bundle By Tricia Williams Retired By Karen Hoffman By Lynda Day Filled with Fun Bundle General Swaps By Nicole Wrigley Bee Mine Valentine (Suite retiring soon, bundle carries over) By Ellen L.
