Thinking of You

National Best Friends Day

I used the Hues of Happiness Suite to make this quick and easy fun fold card. The Hues of Happiness DSP, Fresh Freesia layer and white sentiment layer inside the card were all cut with the Scalloped Contours dies. The yellow flower and leaf were cut from the DSP using the coordinating dies. See all the supplies I used at the bottom of this post.

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  It’s fun being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0128 is World Music Therapy Day which is March 2nd.

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE or more of the items in your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you!

From the Inspo List I used stripes, twine, and embossing.

Measurements

  • Cut 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Balmy Blue CS scored at 4-1/4″. Cut 3-3/4″ off the upper right hand corner in both directions. See picture below.
  • Cut and adhere 4″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White CS inside the card.
  • Cut 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ DSP and then cut diagonally. Adhere the upper right triangle inside the card leaving a border. Adhere the lower left triangle on the front of the card.
  • Cut 3/4″ x 4-1/4″ Sahara Sand CS and adhere near the bottom on the front of the card. Cut and layer a 1/2″ x 4-1/4″ DSP on top of the Sahara Sand CS.
  • Run a scrap of Sahara Sand CS through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (SCEM) with the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle die. Adhere to card front being careful not to put glue in the upper right hand corner so you don’t glue your card shut. 🙂
  • Run DSP shown in picture through the SCEM with the 5th largest Stitched Rectangle die. Pop up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Decorate card as shown in the picture.

These windmills were a little intimidating to make until I got started. Then they were super easy. I live near Pella, Iowa where there is a Tulip Festival every May. This year it’s May 5-7. I bet these cards with windmills and tulips would be a hit at the Pella Tulip Festival.

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on May 11th. Our theme will be New 2022-2024 In Colors, with the Pals showcasing the brand new In Colors in the new Annual Catalog.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

World Planting Day

I’ve never made cards using decorative masks or stencils, but my goodness, is it fun!! You’ll be seeing more stenciled cards from me very soon. The flowers in this card were created using the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks on page 65 of the mini catalog. I used Polished Pink, Melon Mambo and Granny Apple green ink. The leaves are from the Artistically Inked stamp set, the dotted stems are from the Art in Bloom stamp set, and the sentiment and sentiment layer are from the Art Gallery Bundle. The Art Gallery Bundle is 20% off during the month of March along with several other bundles and the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The Art Gallery Bundle is my go to whenever I want a die cut sentiment.

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  It’s fun being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0104 is World Planting Day which is March 20th. Its awesome that there’s a World Planting Day! I love my little gardens full of vegetables, fruit and flowers. In fact, it’s almost Spring here in Iowa so it’s time to start planning my gardens. It’s one of the ways I’ve learned to like vegetables I’ve never tried/liked before. The last couple years I’ve learned to like cucumbers, beets and brussel sprouts. Fresh vegetables taste so much better straight out of the garden. I don’t use chemicals on my gardens either, so I guess I’m an Organic Gardener. Do you have gardens? Do you have any tips for what vegetable I should add to my “learn to like” list this year?

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE or more of the items in your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you!

I tried this card with two different colors of sentiment layers. Do you like the Melon Mambo shown at the top of this post or this one with Basic Black? From the Inspo List I used flowers, green, encouragment and stencils. You can see all the products I used at the bottom of this post and click on any of the pictures to order. If you have questions, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com
