Fabulous Friday: Strawberry birthday card

  Happy Friday!  Where has the time gone?  Summer officially begins next weekend and that means it's strawberry picking time!  I have a May birthday and growing up my Mom always made me a strawberry shortcake for my birthday cake since strawberries are in season, so this week's theme of strawberries for our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog makes me happy.  I chose to make an easel card featuring the Sweet Treats suite from the Occasions catalog.  I love the specialty DSP pack with the glossy strawberries - FUN!

 
  Here's a view of the card opened up and propped up against my little popped up strawberries.  Aren't they just so cute?  As much as I hate fussy-cutting, these were super easy.  I love that this Cool Treats stamp set is photopolymer so the 3-step process to create the strawberry was no problem at all.

 

  Here's another view of my card from the side. For even more strawberry-themed card ideas and inspiration please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog  to check out what the other designers created this week.

Fabulous Friday: Floral Boutique Mother's Day card

  Happy Friday!  It's hard to believe that Mother's Day is just a week away!  To provide you with some inspiration, Karla chose Mother's Day as our theme for our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog this week.  I chose to feature the Floral Boutique DSP because my Mom loves it... sorry that you're seeing your card ahead of time, Mom!  

  I used my Big Shot and new Large Letters framelits to cut out the "M's" but wanted to use a paper flower for the "O."  Mine is made up of two layers of the pansy punch and two layers from the smallest flower of the Blossom Bunch punch.  I curled the edges of each flower petal with my bone folder and attached the layers together using stampin' dimensionals to really make the flower 3D.  I will be hand-delivering my card so not a big deal that it will barely fit in the envelope.  Speaking of the envelope, I took a strip from the DSP and embellished my envelope as well as the inside of my card to really showcase the different patterns in this gorgeous paper.

  Here's another view of my card. For even more Mother's Day card ideas and inspiration please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog  to check out what the other designers created this week.

QE card: Botanical Blooms Stylized Birthday card

  Happy Tuesday!  This week I am sharing a quick and easy card that I created for my daughter Kelsey's birthday last week featuring the Botanical Blooms and Stylized Birthday stamp sets.  Sadly, the Botanical Blooms set is retiring.  The color combination I chose includes the Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Garden Green and Whisper White and I added a lot of bling with rhinestone jewels.

  Here is another view of my card.  You can see the little flower that I stamped on the inside panel peeking out in this photo.  I always like to add a little something to the inside of my cards as well as the envelope.  I will be sharing my Quick & Easy project sheet for this week's card via a link in my newsletter.  Please make sure you're subscribed before Wednesday morning when it goes out to my subscribers.  You can easily add your email address in the subscriber box in the upper right section of my blog to have your name added to my distribution list.

Fabulous Friday: Double Z Fold Sweet Treats birthday card

  Happy Monday!  I was out of town over the weekend and had a busy day on Friday so I apologize for not being able to get this post published on Friday.  But better late than never so here we go... Our Fabulous Friday theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog for the week was to post a card with a fun fold.  I decided to try something new that I've been seeing a lot on Pinterest and that is the double z fold card (see this pin that gives great directions/dimensions).  I created my card featuring the Sweet Treats product suite from the Occasions catalog.  My photo above shows the card when it is closed - luckily it folds flat so mailing is no problem.

  Here are some photos showing the card opened up - you can see how the fold holds the card together.  Fun, right?!  There isn't much room to write a note but I really love this fun fold!!

 

  Here's a close-up of the cardfront focal panel. I pulled my colors from the DSP and think it turned out cute.  For even more fun fold ideas and inspiration please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog  to check out what the other designers created this week.  

* Thanks for visiting and have a great week! *
