Su, Thinking of You, 3D Flower Card, Pop up

I have been serching for this card for a long time.

I finally found instructions on how to make this card.

At least one I can understand.

Usually the instructions are in a foreign language.

But this video didn't need words.

Perfect for me.

 

This is my First attempt at the 3D flower Pop up card.

I love it. And I hope to do a card like this for my classes.

I think my friends will love this card too.

 

 

Here is the You Tube video I watched to make this card:

This person did a fantastic job making the video easy to understand and follow.

Good Luck to you!

If you take my classes, we will be making it soon!!!!!

 

Happy Stamping!

SU, Thinking of You

Snow Snow Snow.

I'm ready for spring, however it is snowing like crazy right now.

Nothing to do but sit and stamp.

Not that I'm sad about that!

 

Here I have used Stampin Up's "Thinking of You' Single stamp.

 

I love the layering ability of this single stamp.

 

Just to darn fun!

 

Happy Stamping!

 



SU, Fabulous Florets Wedding Card

Here is a recent wedding card, made for a Friend of mine.

The wedding colors are Red and black.

Using a Z fold and,

Stampin Up's Fabulous Florets stamp set, I embossed and cut out the flowers.

I think the card has an elegant look.

I'm happy with the result.

 

 

Happy Stamping!

Explosion Boxes, My Way!

I have seen alot of instructions and videos on how to make explosion boxes.

They just seemed to be too much work.

I needed a way to make them easier and faster.

I saw a picture of an explosion box that looked pretty simple.

I couldn't find instructions for it so I created my own.

Halloween in February?

NO.... Not really! I went to a scrapbooking retreat last fall, and one of the Ladies (who's name I can not remember) Made these cute cards for everyone. I just came across it again, and wanted to share. She used the Stampin Up Top Note Die cut and verious sizes of circle punches to create this card. Yes... That is a pocket on the inside. What a great idea for a gift card. Happy Stamping!!!

Explosion Box

Did some reorganizing in my scraproom. And it never fails, that I find retired papers that must be used. And so, I've been creating again, using retired papers, scraps and whatever else I can find. I honestly can't remember where I saw a picture of and explosion box, made this way. Pintereset, Splitcoast, Stampin connection? I don't know. I just remember looking at the picture for a while and thinking.... I can do this...Easy! So here is my super easy Explosion Box. Happy Stamping!
