Flip-flop card with Framelits.

This card technique is something that I learned when I went to the Stampin' Up! Regional in Milwaukee. Seminars like this are always good to learn a few new tips and tricks. This one was demonstrated by Cristy Butzen - you can view the tutorial on her blog here. By using your big shot and the framelits dies in a creative way you can make a fun card that flips open!

To stamp this card I used the stamp set Mouthwatering. I really love this set-- It's so fun and summery! I don't know if this set will make it into the next big idea book and catalog but I hope so…

stamps: Mouthwatering, Fruit & Flowers, You're Cherished
ink: Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Early espresso
paper: Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Early espresso, whisper white
other: Simply scored tool, Framelits Labels Dies, Big Shot, adhesive pearls

Farewell Medallion!

Since there are so many of my favorites on the retiring list I thought I'd take some posts from now until they retire to look back over past cards share with you the stuff I've made with them!

One of the first stamps I am sad to see go is the Medallion Background stamp! This stamp is great for cards and other projects too! Check out the projects below and click on the images if you want to read the original posts!

Pop-up Tea Card

Here is another moving card from my "Cards that Move Class". For this card I featured the stamp set Tea Shoppe! I love the teacups and sentiments in this set. It's only available until the end of the month so make sure you let me know if you need to order it for yourself.

For this card the hardest party is figuring out where to cut and score but once you have that down it's pretty easy and makes a fun card to give to someone. They pull the tab and it pops the front up like this:

stamps: Tea Shoppe
ink: pacific point, early espresso, bashful blue
paper: pacific point, early espresso, bashful blue, whisper white
other: Simply scored tool, Crumb cake seam binding ribbon, scallop oval punch, oval punch, early espresso grosgrain ribbon, sticky strip, dimensionals

Furry Folk Moving Card!


Last week I had a "Cards that Move" class and one of the cards we made featured the set Furry Folk, which is now on the retiring list...sad! I just love the cute little animals in this set... To make this card, we made a window on the front panel of the card by punching out a hole and then attached a 3 1/2" circle behind it. The trick is to stamp the images through the window after it is already attached! Then you can see exactly where they line up. I was able to fit 4 different critters on my wheel...

Isn't it adorable? Who wouldn't love to get this card in the mail? If you love this set and don't have it yet, make sure to order before May 31. You can contact me or order anytime on my website!

stamps: furry folk, friendly phrases
ink: early espresso
paper: pear pizzaz, pool party, crumb cake, whisper white
other: Big shot, circle die, oval punch, scallop trim punch, 1/8" satin ribbon, 1 3/8" circle punch, dimensionals

Hoppy Easter!

I've seen some cute bunny punch art cards around the stamping sites lately and I had to give it a try myself! To make this card I stamped a woodgrain background on the front of a crumb cake card stock.

Then I punched out a hole for the bunny to pop out of. The bunny is made from punching out shapes from white card stock and sponging the edges with soft suede ink. I used the ornament punch for the head, ovals for the ears, the modern label for the feet and circles for the cheeks and eyes. Then a small flower for the tail! How cute is he? Then when you open up the card look what's inside....

It's the bunny butt!! How cute is that? I put some blue inside the card too to make it look like sky. I love how these turned out!

Birthday Card for Spring!

Need a simple, pretty spring birthday card? This one is really easy to make! I embossed the vanilla card stock with the vintage wallpaper embossing folder on the big shot and sponged some soft suede over the edges. Then I punched out a flower shape and put a piece of pattern paper behind it. Then I punched another flower and layered it on top! The pretty paper makes it so pretty with little effort. Of course you can embellish your flower centers with brads or buttons if you'd like. Then I stamped the happy birthday sentiment and made a little pennant to go on the bottom. Add some bakers twine for fun and that's it! We made a version of this card at my last stamp-a-stack!

stamps: Happiest Birthday Wishes (hostess)
ink: soft suede
paper: very vanilla, pool party, crumb cake,
other: vintage wallpaper embossing folder, lucky limeade bakers twine, 5 petal flower punch, small circle punch
