One of my team members shared a card like this in our Flowerbug's group and claimed it was so easy she's making lots of these cards. I loved it so much I had to find out how she made it! I learned how by watching the creators video; her name is Julie Heitz and she goes by the Chirpy Cardmaker. I shared how to make it during last week's Live video. The products used include the pretty Softly Stippled designer...

Playing with more stuff! I saw a sample on a demonstrator-only Facebook page, and had to try it for my grandsons. What do you think of this: I got this adorable new stamp set, Seaside Shore, and thought it would be fun to make a card for Ethan and Jacob. So I started with the inside--if this wasn't going to work I wasn't going to spend time creating the outside of the card...but it DID work,and it came out so cute. So here is the card from the front. I stamped the fish, masked them with a post-it note (stamped the fish and cut out to create the mask) and then stamped over them with the seaweed. I also added the bubbles. Then I colored them to make them look "tropical", and I added Wink of Stella to each fish (sorry you can't see how shiny they are). Then to the inside: I created a "pop up" by folding my cardstock in half and making a slit about 1-3/4" across the fold. Then I scored from each end of the slit to the center of the fold--this allowed me to pop out the "mouth" of my fish. I covered him in Peekaboo Peach Designer Series Paper; his tail is cut from a retired flower punch (but could easily be from a heart punch) and his fins are the retired Scallop Circle punch. On the back of the card, across the "mouth" I added a stamped banner, glued to either side of his mouth. Seaweed was added along the bottom of the "ocean" and I stamped and cut some little shells for the ocean floor. This piece was mounted to little scalloped strips of Peekaboo Peach, and then adhered to the inside of my card. But I had to have a treat to go with my cute card... The new Clear Tiny Treat Boxes were perfect! They are 2" cubes, clear, and such fun to play with. I cut 1-15/16" x 8-1/2" strips of the Peekaboo Peach DSP and scored them at just under the 2" mark every 2"; this allowed me to insert the paper INSIDE the treat box. I wrapped them with ribbon and added little tags. These were cut with the Lots of Labels Framelits and decorated with Swirly Scribbles "seaweed" and cut out fish. And what was inside? Well fish and and worms, of course: I found Swedish Fish and Gummy Worms--what could be more perfect? I loved putting this set together, and expect my grandsons will enjoy it all when it arrives this week. What do you think? All items can be purchased here.

Happy Birthday to Ewe Sheep Card, handmade knitted sheep card on 255gsm linen hammered cardstock with balloon.
These beautiful cards were created with the Earthen Textures stamp set & Dies as well as the Darling Details stamp set.
This card was featured on Pinterest, and I immediately thought it would make a wonderful Mother's Day card for my class. However, 3 of my students do not have their mother anymore, so I changed the sentiment for something more neutral. It is a partial case from Biggan at splitcoaststampers. However, I did change a few things around. I started by punching five 1 3/8" circles, and sponging them with Blushing Bride with the edges Pear Pizzaz. These I folded into dahlia flowers using this tutorial. The stem was die cut using Pear Pizzaz cardstock and the Bouquet die. The stem and flowers were arranged on a Very Vanilla background embossed with the script embossing folder. This background was matted with Pink Pirouette cardstock and then a 1/4" Pink Pirouette ribbon and bow were adhered to the bottom. This was adhered to a Sahara Sand layer, which in turn was adhered to a Blushing Bride base card. The sentiment is "For Being You" (SAB) and was punched using the oval die. The oval was reinserted back into the punch to reduce its size. It was also sponged with Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzaz. Supplies Used: Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog I also used the script embossing folder (retired) and the Bouquet die.
This week’s fun fold is called a Flip Up & Flip Out card. I made one using the Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper and the other with new Online Exclusives that will be available for purchase starting March 5, 2024.
Our daughter has been a high school teacher for fifteen years, and during that time has continued her education, including two Masters degrees - one in Education and Learning, and one in Mathematics Education. She is a year away from receiving her PhD in Leadership with a Mathematics Specialization (busy writing her dissertation now). She was just offered, and accepted, a position as a Mathematics Professor at a private college! No more dealing with smelly, mouthy teenagers, lol. Needless to say, we are so very proud of her. Her love of learning and love of teaching were evident from a very early age. I remember her lining up her stuffed animals and dolls and playing school when she was very young, and it warms my heart to see her following her passion and excelling at it! I made this card for her using the new Everyday Details bundle coming January 4th, along with an embossing folder from Sale-A-Bration. Her favorite colors are green and yellow, so.... Mossy Meadow and Granny Apple Green along with Lemon Lolly and Daffodil Delight were the chosen colors.
I must admit...when I saw the challenge at Less is More this week, I found it very intriguing and challenging...but had no idea what to do!!! When you lack creativity...GOOGLE!!! I immediately googled shaped cards, and fell in love with THIS card,,,what an amazing guitar Amy made!!! It was posted 3 YEARS ago...but I think it is timeless!! I pretty much cased the total idea but changed a couple things...here's my card... I made one less string, added a sentiment(Paper Smooches) and used versamark and clear embossing powder and made the red of my guitar really glossy!! I also used my Papertrey Ink Canvas/Linen Impression plate to give some texture to the white panel. Here's a picture that shows the guitar's glossiness a bit more!... I free style drew the guitar like Amy did...let me tell you, if I can draw a guitar, ANYONE can!!! What fun!!! Size...standard size 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"...cool, right?!! Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
