Graduation Time

-

 Hi Crafting Friend,

Do you know any graduates that deserve a really cool card? This one fits the bill. It's a real WOW card, but it's not for beginners. I found a video tutorial on YouTube by Crystal Best that I followed. The pieces inside the cap were fiddly, but I messed with it until I was satisfied. I made three cards and it took me a full day. You can watch and then decide if you want to attempt it.  

 CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE VIDEO TUTORIAL 

All her measurements and a link to her How to Make a Tassel video are in the notes section below the video. I think the results were worth the effort. What do you think? All current products that were used are linked below the photos, but a couple of the stamp sets were so old that there wasn't an image to put in the product list, so I have included a pic that I took. Red embroidery floss and a 2 X 3 piece of cardboard were used to make the tassels.

Hi Crafting Friend, The Perennial Lavender DSP was still on my desk along with the Heartfelt Hexagon stamps and punch so, that's what I started with. Instead of waiting until I need one, I decided to make a Sympathy card with them. I really like the way it looks. What do you think?       Card Front                                                                 Inside/Insert Here's how to duplicate it: CARD BASE Crumb Cake cardstock cut to 8 1/2" X 5 1/2"  Score, Fold and Burnish at 4 1/4" on the long side. INSERT Very Vanilla cardstock 4 1/2" X 4" edged with Pecan Pie ink and a 3/4" X 4" strip of Perennial Lavender DSP edged with Pecan Pie ink adhered next to it on the left side.

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 tre...

Bloom Impressions Spring Quilt For You Card

 Hi Crafting Friends, Here we are in 2025. The weather has been cold, but not too cold, which I greatly appreciate. I woke up to hazy skies this morning and my mind went immediately to the fires over in California. My heart goes out to all those that have had to flee and leave their belongings behind to be consumed by the raging flames. If you or anyone you know are near those areas, I hope you are all safe! How about a little bit of distraction? I have been seeing a lot of "quilt" cards lately, so I made one too. We'll get to the card in a minute. First, I need to tell you that the new Mini Catalog, the Sale-A-Bration Brochure and the new Scrapbooking Brochure are all out. The stamp set, DSP and embossing folder used to make this card can all be found in the Mini Catalog or the SAB Brochure. Everything in the SAB Brochure is available free with either a $60 or $120 order. (before tax and shipping) There are a lot of great products in all of them! If you don't have th...
