I love making special fun fold cards and I thought this would be great as a wedding or bridal shower card.

Here’s the side view to show how the bride panel sits against one strip of textured cardstock and the flower panel sits at a different angle against the short panel of textured cardstock. I love the embossed bricks and the beautiful Magnolia flowers.

I love this fun fold. It’s just a regular card with the top half of the front cut away. Did you see the Tufted Embossing on the top half inside?

I’m a designer for Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog and this week’s challenge is Flora and Fauna. I was thinking it was Flora or Fauna, so please use your imagination and notice a bee in the beautiful flowers on my wedding card. 🙂

I hope you’ll make a card, 3-D item or scrapbook page with both flowers and a visible animal and enter our challenge this week. Please head over and enter your project at https://useyourstuff.blogspot.com/ I’d love to help you if you need help entering your project. Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com

Steve and I were in Davenport for his cousin’s funeral on Saturday. Kathy was only 60 and passed away suddenly. It reminds me to hug the ones I love and spend time each day with purpose doing what God is calling me to do!

With all the trips to Davenport in the last six months, Steve hasn’t been able to keep up with his Honey-Do list at home. Today he was determined to make up for it all in one day. Among other things, Steve surprised me and planted these beautiful Violas in our front planters. 🙂

This weekend my Stamping Joy team and I will be at OnStage in Minneapolis. I can’t wait for our fun, crafty weekend. We also get the new Stampin’ Up! Annual catalog that won’t be available to customers until June 1, 2019.

I will be doing a Facebook Live again this Wednesday at noon CST. Here’s what I made the last two weeks during my Facebook Lives. Both tutorials are now on my Stamping Mom You Tube channel if you want directions.

Tips- Adhere the sequins according to the rule of odds. The “rule of odds” suggests that an odd number of subjects in an image is more interesting than an even number. Thus the suggestion is to choose an arrangement with at least three subjects, hence we have three sequins.   A triangular format creates a sense of stability and strength, therefore the sequins are placed in a triangular formation.  Who knew you could put so much thought into where to place the sequins and how many should be used?  What happens when one sequin falls off in the mail? Both rules are violated as we are left with two sequins in a line and the card automatically self-destructs!  🙂 If I send you a card and one sequin has fallen off, look for it in the envelope and reapply with a glue dot.  🙂

Another Tip- Always use Momento ink with Stampin’ Blends.  Always us Stazon ink when watercoloring.

Did you notice anything wrong with the picture above?  Me neither. I showed both Stampin’ Write markers and Stampin’ Blends because I thought both were used in the coloring of the cakes.  Silly me!  Why is it I don’t know what was used to color the cakes?  I guess I should admit that I didn’t color them.  Abby corrected me when she saw the picture and would like you to know that all the cakes were colored with only Stampin’ Blends.  🙂

Thanks Abby for coloring at least 15 cakes for me!  I’m going to miss you so much when you go back to college this weekend and not just because you emptied the dishwasher every day for a month, wrapped all the Christmas presents and helped me with lots of things way more than your brothers!  Love you Abby Dazzle! 🙂
