Stair Step Cards

Another card we made at my fun folds class was a Stair-Step card. These cards are also fun to display! When folded flat they fit in a regular size A2 envelope. For the first one I used the Sale-a-Bration stamp set Fresh Vintage to stamp the main image. I colored the stamp with wild wasabi, marina mist and calypso coral markers. Then I added the "happiness" from the set Fabulous Phrases, punched out with the word window punch and framed with the Modern Label punch. Some ruffled ribbon and bakers twine add the finishing touches!

The next card is also a stair step card but this time I used the set Mouthwatering from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I love the cherry in this set! I added the "sweet" from the Fabulous Phrases set again... If you don't have this set, it's a great one... lots of awesome easy to use words in it! I added some cherries in the background from the fruit and flowers stamp set, just red ink on real red cardstock. I also added a fun border with the scallop ribbon border punch and some red 1/8" taffeta ribbon!

Tri-Shutter card

Here is a card that I designed for my upcoming fun folds class. This is called a tri-shutter card. I used the stamp set mouthwatering for the large cherry and fruit and flowers for the small cherry. I accented the panels with the coordinating sweet shop designer series paper. The sentiment "happy birthday" is from the hostess set Happiest Birthday Wishes.

If you like this card and want to learn how to make it there is still time to sign up for my fun folds class- just let me know if you'd like to join me by March 9th.

Here is what the card looks like when it is closed:

Here are a couple more faux tile cards! For this cards I used the large cherry stamp from the stamp set Mouthwatering in the occasions mini For both of these cards I used the same tile technique as the card I posted a couple of days ago here. On these cherry cards I used the clear cherry scented embossing powder from the occasions mini so they smell like cherries too!

Here is a close-up of the large cherry:

I also made a card using the same idea and color palette but this time I use the small cherry stamp from the stamp set Fruit and Flowers which is in the big idea book and catalog.

Here is a close-up of the technique:

Anti-Bacterial Holders

Here are some cute little anti-bacterial holders I made! I made these for the craft fair so I was using up some of my holiday paper leftovers from previous catalogs. This cute paper is from last year but I still love it! Then I used the snowflake from serene snowflakes and the little message Merry is from the Tiny Tags set.

This one uses the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Teeny Tiny wishes set punched out with the word window and the Modern Label punch.

Here's what they look like open. I stamped on the insides and added some patternered paper across the bottom. They close with a little piece of velcro.



Here are a few more holiday ones:

A fall one using the Day of Gratitude set and the woodgrain paper from the Christmas Lodge paper...



And last, but not least, some created with the Berry Blossoms paper pack:

Scented Cherry Card

This card was created for my last technique class. The technique used here was scratch and sniff. If you scratch the cherries they actually smell like cherries! How cool is that? You use a mix of embossing powder and Kool-aid to get this effect. Want to learn cool techniques like this? Contact me to sign up for my next technique class!

For the rest of the card I used some other fun stuff including the new Lace Ribbon Border punch and the designer frames embossing folder. To make the cute little tag I just punched out a curly label punch and tucked it behind the main image. The "friends" word is from the Tiny Tags Stamp set.

stamps: Fruit & Flowers, Tiny Tags
ink: Lucky Limeade, Riding Hood Red, crumb cake
paper: whisper white, early espresso, crumb cake, Riding Hood Red
other: bakers twine, Designer frame embossing folder, big shot, Lace Ribbon border punch

Berry Wishes Card!

Here's Another one using the Fruit & Flowers stamp set. Can you tell I'm having a ton of fun with this set? Sometimes I will get a stamp set that is just so much fun to play with and this is definitely one of them! This card is pretty simple. I started with a calypso coral base and layered some patterned paper from the Berry Blossoms Designer paper pack over it-- This paper is SUPER CUTE!! for the main image I embossed the oval using one of the designer frame embossing folders. This one is my favorite because the oval punch fits perfectly inside! I added on some bakers twine and the sentiment "best wishes" from the Sincere Salutations stamp set. Oh, and I almost forgot, I used the cool Lace Ribbon Border with wisteria wonder card stock to add some fun detail!


stamps: Fruit & Flowers, Sincere Salutations
ink: calypso coral, Lucky Limeade, Black
paper: calypso coral, wisteria wonder, Berry Blossoms Designer paper, whisper white

Berry Cute Matchbox

Hello there! Today I'm sharing a cute little matchbox made using the Berry Blossoms Designer series paper. This paper is Amazing! It's so cute and summery… I just love it. If you love paper, make sure to place your order before the end of the month since all the designer papers are buy three get one free! What a deal! Check out the details here.

For this cute little box, I simply cut the box out using the XL Matchbox big shot die and folded it up. This die is really simple to use. The bottom doesn't even need any adhesive! I finished the box off by stamping the strawberry from the Fruit & Flowers stamp set on a piece of white that was also cut out with the XL matchbox die. On top of that I stamped the word "friends" from the Tiny Tags stamp set. I tied a piece of ruffled ribbon around the box and then added the tag using a piece of bakers twine. Then, of course, put candy inside!

stamps: Fruit & Flowers, Tiny Tags
ink: calypso coral, Lucky Limeade, whisper white
paper: calypso coral, Berry Blossoms Designer paper
other: bakers twine, Lucky Limeade ruffled ribbon, bakers twine, XL matchbox die, big shot, candy

Strawberry Punch Art!

Here is one of the cards from the Fruit & Flowers stamp class! I thought it would be fun to use punches to create a large strawberry. The strawberry is made by punching out a large heart from calypso coral cardstock (also textured with the polka dots embossing folder). The leaves are from the 5-petal flower punch with some of the leaves cut out. The little stems are cut out using the big shot and the little leaves sizzlit die and the little white flowers are from the itty bitty shapes punch pack.

To make the card I cut out the top note shape with the big shot and white card stock. I stamped the strawberries from the Fruit & Flowers stamp set along the bottom of the card. The birthday sentiment is from the Birthday hostess stamp set Happiest Birthday Wishes. Then I added some of the cool ruffled ribbon and paper from the Berry Blossoms paper pack!


stamps: Fruit & Flowers, Happiest Birthday Wishes
ink: Calypso Coral, Lucky limeade
paper: Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, whisper white, crumb cake
other: pool party ruffled ribbon, XL heart punch, 5-petal flower punch, Little Leaves Sizzlit die, Itty Bitty Shapes punch

Double Popsicle Card

Ok... Almost a week later I'm finally sharing what we made in my Fruit & Flowers class last week! This set is so much fun! I had a ton of fun creating the projects. I hope the girls who attended had as much fun making them! This card was inspired by a Popsicle card I made a while back. If you want to see that it's in this post.

To make this card I cut the card stock (I used calypso coral) in half to 4.25 x 8.5, then scored in 2.25" from each end along the long side. I added the Popsicle sticks on the inside of each short panel. Note: when you add on the sticks make sure they don't stick down so far that your card won't fit in a standard sized envelope!

The main image on the front is embossed using the Designer Frames Embossing Folder in the big shot. Then I stamped the strawberry from the Fruit & Flowers set and punched it out with the Large oval punch. This fits perfectly inside the embossed shape. The ribbon is attached under the piece of chocolate chip card stock and wraps all the way around the card to keep it closed.

Here's what it looks like open:


stamps: Fruit & Flowers
ink: Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade
paper: Calypso Coral, whisper white, chocolate chip
other: Chocolate chip scallop polka dot ribbon, Designer frame embossing folder, Large oval punch, corner rounder punch, Popsicle sticks.
