Best Day Birthday Fun Fold

Welcome to the Fun Folds Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrators!!

I love making and sending bright & happy cards and this one is right up my alley!

Measurements & Details

What makes this a fun fold, is the mini card attached to the front. The mini card is 4-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ scored at 2-1/4″. The inside white cardstock (CS) is 2-1/8″ x 3-3/8″. I fussy cut the “HAPPY” after stamping the cake and coloring the HAPPY with Stampin’ Blends. The DSP is all from the Enjoy the Journey DSP. You can see all the supplies I used to make this card and purchase from my online store at the bottom of this post.

Please hop along to the rest of the Demos awesome fun folds you will find in the Lineup below.

My husband, Steve, is a scuba diver so I just had to get the Sea Turtle set. When we were in Cayman Brach in January I even so saw some turtles while snorkeling. Here’s a fun video Steve filmed while scuba diving. He tells the names of all the different fish and plants. My son, Ryan, and is bride, Bree, are also in the video.

I stamped the turtle in Pretty Peacock ink (a returning favorite ink) on the Online Exclusive DSP- Hello, Irresistible paper. The So Saffron seaweed is made with the Delicate Edges dies. I also used the returning Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock cardstock. So excited for these returning favorite colors!! At the bottom of this post you can purchase from my online store and see all the products I used to make this card.

I thought I didn’t want the Delicate Edges dies until my friend, Jean, talked me into them. They seem to making it onto a lot of my cards lately. Do you have the Delicate Edges dies? We will find out on Wednesday if they are on the retired list or not. 🙂 You might want to get them now, just in case.

Please hop along and see all the awesome projects made by the other Top 10 Winners!

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  I’m on the Design Team for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0130 is International Children’s Book Day which is April 2nd.

International Children’s Book Day! What a great day to celebrate! I was a book worm growing up and I raised three book worms. I love reading and I love reading to kids. One of my favorite series for ages 9 and up is the Guardians of Gahoole series by Kathryn Lasky. These are fantasy books about a group of owls that will keep kids and adults coming back for more. Steve and I read to our kids every night before bed and it was hard for me to read only one chapter at a time of these books. They are not as scary as Harry Potter.

The Magic Tree House books were easy chapter books for the younger set. We really enjoyed these books too.

My list of favorite books for children is very long so I won’t share them all.

We donated a lot of our kid books, but I kept a couple hundred books to read to my future grandchildren. 🙂

I would love to hear about your favorite children’s books. Please leave me a comment or email me at Beth@StampingMom.com

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about International Children’s Book Day – at all! #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! Even if you’ve never entered a card challenge before, now is the time to start. It’s fun and it’s free. It will help inspire your creativity. Please join us!

From the Inspo List I used bright colors, patterned paper, animals.
