Beautifully Happy Fun Fold Makes 2 Cards

 Have you ever attended an online crafty retreat?

It's the best way to get your creativity jump-started... and learn new techniques and tips along the way!  While projects are being created you get to join in on the live videos and have so much fun along the way!  Plus, once you register, you have access to these videos at any time.

The Creativate Winter 2023 Retreat is coming soon... January 13 & 14.

You may be thinking, "How do I register?"

To register, simply contact Sharon Armstrong, Brandy Cox, Jackie Bolhuis, or Connie Stewart and register with one of them by January 10th.

This virtual online event is jam-packed full of fun projects that you will want to use to create your own ideas time and time again!

Even though the Early Bird Registration is over, you still have lots of time to join in on the fun with Pre-Retreat challenges each week leading up to the first day of the event.

I will be sharing a few of my creations for the next several days of my projects created for the Early Bird Bonus Tutorials as well as the Pre-Retreat Challenges.

My second card set was created for the Early Bird Bonus Fun Fold Tutorial.

I created these cards using the Stampin' Up! Beautifully Happy stamp set (available Jan. 5, 2023) along with Pretty Prints DSP.  The card base used is Very Vanilla cardstock with Calypso Coral cardstock.

Absolutely love this image!  I first stamped it using Memento ink then used Calypso Coral, Soft Succulent and Blackberry Bliss inks to stamp each section with this two-stamp process.

The sentiment was stamped using Calypso Coral and adhered with dimensionals.

Linen Thread was wrapped around once and tied in a bow.

The embellishments are Pearl Basic Jewels. 

For this card, the image was stamped using the same inks on a portrait card.

These are the cards opened up.

Each card opens up from a different angle and so cool!  Who wouldn't want to receive one of these cards in the mail?

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you will give this fun fold card a try.

A Flowers & More Easter Card

I will be sharing a few of my creations for the next several days of my projects created for the Early Bird Bonus Tutorials as well as the Pre-Retreat Challenges.

My first card was created for the Early Bird Bonus Fun Fold Tutorial.

Easter will be upon us before we know it!  Why not get an early start on those cards now.

I created this card using the Stampin' Up! Easter Bunny stamp set and the Flowers & More DSP (both available Jan. 5, 2023).

The sentiment was stamped using Memento ink.  The background behind the bunny was embossed using the Gingham Embossing Folder.

The Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls embellishments have sadly been sold out and are no longer available.

The white strip that goes across the background of the card was also embossed using the same embossing folder.

Linen Thread was wrapped around and tied in a bow on the right side.

The bunny was stamped with Memento ink and die cut using the Easter Bunny Punch (available Jan. 5, 2023).

The flowers were colored using Shaded Spruce, Pale Papaya & Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends.  I fussy cut the flowers and adhered onto the bunny with liquid adhesive.

Don't forget to jazz up your envelope slap by stamping or adding DSP.

Here is the card opened up to reveal a partial image of the bunny, the sentiment and a partial image of the flowers, which were colored with Stampin' Blends as well.

DSP was added on the inside flaps too.

This gives you a view of how the card closes and opens up.  The smaller strip of cardstock on the right tucks under the sentiment banner to keep the card closed.  Dimensionals are adhered only on the left of the sentiment strip to leave room for the thinner strip to tuck under it.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed my fun fold card.

Fun Background Birthday Card

 Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #566.

I used the Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose bundle, All That Dies and Perfectly Penciled DSP to create my birthday card.

To create the colorful background, I used several Stampin' Blends between the black stripes.  This gave the card a wonderful pop of color!

The images are from the Cottage Rose stamp set, stamped using Memento ink and colored with Tahitian Tide ink. 

The leaves were fussy cut from the DSP using Old Olive Stampin' Blends.

The sentiment was stamped with Tahitian Tide ink and adhered with one dimensional on the right side and liquid adhesive on the left.

The embellishments are Iridescent Rhinestones.

The circles were die cut from All That Dies and adhered with dimensionals.

The Stampin' Blends used for the background on the front of the card, inside the card and on the envelope flap are Tahitian Tide, Flirty Flamingo & Daffodil Delight.  An additional leaf branch was also fussy cut and colored with Old Olive Stampin' Blends and adhered in the lower left with liquid adhesive.

The sentiment was stamped using Tahitian Tide ink.

Using Stampin' Blends on the DSP and adding it on the envelope flap is so pretty and colorful!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.
