Prized Peony Love & Thanks Card

-

Hi Stamping Friend,
You have no idea what I have gone through to try and post this card! I don't know what is going on with Blogger, but it was crazy! It took my husband and I a couple of hours to get in so I could write this post. I thought for sure I was going to have to abandon my blog that I have worked so hard on for almost two years and start all over on another platform. I was distraught and in tears because I am not emotionally equipped to fight with my frenemy technology right now. I am stretched to the limit trying to keep up with creating and posting on social media while enduring the chemotherapy that is devastating my body in order to get rid of the cancer that has invaded it. I want to do nothing more than curl up in a ball and sleep, hoping I feel better upon awakening. Of course, that is unrealistic. So my rant is over and I am going to move on and try to forget the difficulties of the day. Thanks for indulging me. - Susan 🌄🖖

I promised last week that I would use these last few weeks before the new catalog to feature retiring product. This card uses two of the retiring In-Colors, Magenta Madness and Just Jade along with the Prized Peony stamp set. As a sneak peek of some of the new goodies to come, I used the new Stylish Shapes dies that will be in the 2022-2023 Anual Catalog.

Hello Hills of Tuscany Fun Fold Card

-

 Hi Crafting Friend, Welcome to 2024, the new Mini Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. This Spring Mini catalog is always my favorite, especially when you add the benefits of Sale-A-Bration to it. There are so many adorable stamp sets, dies, DSPs and other goodies! Do you like this catalog as much as I do?  Today's card uses the Hills of Tuscany stamp set. The images were stamped directly onto the DSP, (house - white craft ink, roof - Cherry Cobbler, trees and sentiment - Shaded Spruce) the house was then heat embossed with white embossing powder. The card base is Shaded Spruce cut to 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 and scored on the long side at 2 3/4 and 4 1/4. Fold it in half and then fold the card front back as shown in the photos below.  The Gorgeous Grape layers are 1 7/8 X 5 1/4 for the front and inside left; and 4 X 5 1/4 for the right side.  Cut a 1 inch strip off the top of the DSP to use on another project, then cut 2 pieces, each 1 3/4 wide from the left side (the trees that you sta

Grassy Grove Clean & Simple Card

 Hi Crafting Friend, This card was inspired by a couple of cards I saw on the Facebook Clean & Simple Cardmaking page.  (by Tracey Agli & Darla Anderson Welch) They were both mostly white with some color blending and minor stamping behind the tree dies they used. I thought of these stamps & dies when I saw them.  The card base is 8.5 X 5.5 scored on the long side at 4.25 then folded and burnished to lay flat. The doe and fawn were each die-cut twice, once with Pecan Pie and once with Basic Black then layered together with the black in the front. Place black mini dimensionals as shown in the photo below.  The "moon" is a 1 inch punched Lemon Lolly circle.  The grove of trees was also die-cut twice, once on a 4 X 5.25 piece of Early Eapresso, the second on a piece of Early Espresso just barely bigger than the die itself. The smaller die-cut was off set behind the larger, then Multipurpose Liquid Glue was used at the bottom edge of the smaller die-cut to secure them

Hello Happy Sea Turtle Card

-
Image
 Hi Stamping Friend, The card I have for you this week is the second of three I designed for the swap using products from the new January-April 2023 Mini catalog and the Sale-A-Bration brochure. I paired the Sea Turtle and Happy Labels stamp sets from the mini catalog with Delicate Edges dies and Texture Chic DSP from the annual catalog. To me they seem made for each other.  This card is really quite simple if you have the basic tools. The DSP makes a perfect background. The turtle is fussy cut, the "seaweed" is die-cut. I gave the seaweed & turtle some dimension by using my bone folder to add some curl to the paper. The turtle is popped up with dimensionals, the seaweed is adhered with Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue, but I played with it, making sure some areas were slightly raised off the paper so it looks like it could be moving in the water. What do you think?   Thanks for stopping by, Live Long & Craft On! -Susan 🌄🖖 Product List Sea Turtle Photopolymer S
