This fun fold card is great if you have coordinating Designer Series Paper (DSP). It fits in a standard envelope and there is no extra postage required to mail. That is a winner in my book!

I’m participating in Kylie’s monthly International Blog Highlights contest and the top 10 vote winners get to participate in an International Blog Hop. Would you consider taking a moment and voting for my card? I’d really appreciate it! My card is #2. Thanks to you I made the top 10 last month! Thank you!!

How to do Voting?
Please click on the button below or click here and you can see the photos. Look for my card #2 and click on the little heart in the upper right hand corner by my photo. When it turns red, you’ve voted successfully. It’s that easy! You can vote for up to five, but it’s not required, you can also just vote for one. Thanks so much, I truly appreciate it!

Steve and I had a wonderful long weekend in Chicago! On our way there Thursday morning, we spent some time with Steve’s Mom, Ruby, in Davenport. Thursday evening Steve had a business meeting in downtown Chicago and I got to go to dinner with my sweet stamping friend, Sharon Burkert. Stamping friends are the best! Sharon brought me a bag of Garrett’s Mix popcorn- caramel corn and cheese corn. It’s my absolute favorite!

Friday we enjoyed a Korean lunch at Rice ‘N Bread (3435 N Sheffield Ave. Chicago) and the Chicago Cubs game with Steve’s brother, Mike. I had Dolsot Bibimbap with chicken. It was so good and we will definitely eat there again the next time we go to a Cubs game!

The Cubs are on a roll and have won most of their games the last couple weeks, but not on Friday when we were at Wrigley Field. The Atlanta Braves had some impressive home runs, however.

I did all the driving in Chicago this weekend including driving to the Cubs game. After driving in Houston, Texas for Sean & Amy’s wedding last summer, all driving seems easy now.

On our way home from the game we went to Di Benedetto (1766 W Algonquin Road, Hoffman Estates) for amazing homemade pasta! We had Cavatelli with red sauce and crumbled Italian sausage and Gnocchi with sliced sausage and pesto sauce. This may be the best pasta I’ve ever had. (until we go to Italy next Spring!)

I was a gymnast growing up and Steve and I both love watching gymnastics, especially Senior Elite Women (and Olympians) and NCAA Women’s gymnastics. It was so exciting to see Suni again as she won the beam competition. She is a spectacular gymnast and the reigning All Around Olympic Champion!

Simone is the greatest of all time (GOAT) and it was a thrill to see her in person on Saturday night. If you watched the National NBC news on Saturday night you might’ve seen Steve and I cheering for Simone during her beam routine. We had several people contact us to say they say us on TV. 🙂

Last time I saw Simone was at a meet two years ago right before the Olympics when I gave her this goat dancing on a balance beam with a gold medal in her hand card. The beam says,” You’re the GOAT Greatest of All Time!” I wrote scripture and encouragement inside her card.

The gymnasts put on quite a show on Saturday night! We went to one session of gymnastics on Friday night and two more sessions on Saturday. Sunday we drove home after stopping in Iowa City to bring our daughter the Garrett’s popcorn she requested and lunch from her favorite Mediterranean restaurant- Oasis Falafel (206 N Linn St, Iowa City). We had the Chicken Shawarma with hummus, falafel and french fries. The french fries are not Mediterranean but have the Mediterranean spice on them and are consistently voted the best fries in Iowa City.

I used the Stampin’ Up camera dies to make this card… wait, did you know we have camera dies? Oh, I guess the technical name is Stitched Radiating Dies. I’m such a fan of dies and I just see unique ways to use them. It’s one of things about stamping that makes my heart sing!

Measurements & Details

5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Basic Black Cardstock (CS) scored at 4-1/4″

Cut 1-1/2″ in on the score line on each side and cut away the two sides of the card front-you’ll be left with 2-1/2″ X 4-1/4″

Adhere 2-1/4″ x 4″ Brights DSP

Adhere (2) strips of 1/2″ Coastal Cabana CS to a scrap of Basic Black CS. Run through Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (SCEM) with the middle Stitched Radiating dies. This is how the camera is made.

The camera lense is made with the two Basic Black circles from the Stitched Radiating die and a 1″ Basic White circle in the middle. The large Rhinestone is retired, but you can use what you have.

Add 3/4″ x 1/2″ Basic White for “flash” and 1/2″ x 1/2″ for Basic Black for “camera button.” Add a strip of Basic Black on the back to get the button up above the camera.

Inside- 4″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White

Use sentiment of your choice. I used the birthday sentiment from Zany Zoo.

Brights DSP for coordinating envelope.

Welcome to our monthly SU Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop. If you love fun folds, you have come to the right place! The list of hoppers is after the details of my project and I do hope you’ll hop along. I’m sure you’ll be in for a real treat. Here is what I created…

Do you know what RAGBRAI is? RAGBRAI, Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, is more than just a bike ride, it is an epic seven-day rolling festival of bicycles, music, food, camaraderie, and community. It is the oldest, largest, and longest multi-day bicycle touring event in the world. This is the 50th year and the day I’m riding they are expecting 50-100,000 people. Please pray for everyone’s safety. My husband and I do one or two days each year. Seven days would be a lot! Steve’s brothers and their wives ride with us too. My friend, Susan, is my long time biking friend and we do a day of Ragbrai together. I made this card for her. It shows biking in the mountains. We don’t have mountains in Iowa, but some of the hills seem like mountains when it’s really hot outside.

My favorite food stops along the way are Mr Pork Chop- a pink bus serving awesome Iowa Pork Chops and Beekman’s- Homemade Ice Cream from all natural ingredients, no preservatives. Many people enjoy the “church lady” pie as well!

You can purchase from my online store at the bottom of this post and see all the supplies I used to make this card. Fun on Wheels is a great bundle and it makes it easy to make awesome bike cards. Did you notice the rhinestones on the wheels? 🙂

Measurements & Details

  • Card Base Berry Burst 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″
  • Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper (DSP) 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
  • Berry Burst underneath DSP for strength 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
  • Fresh Freesia embossed 5-1/4″ x 1-3/4″
  • Basic White 5-1/4″ x 2-1/4″

It really is a good day to have a good day and I sure hope you have a good day too! 🙂
