Peekaboo Fun Fold and Penguin Playmates


If you missed MysteryStamping a few weeks ago with me on Saturday Night Crafters Group on Facebook, you can go back to the group and watch the video on how to make this fun fold card here. 









Here is another fabulous fun fold card that I made in Cheri’s Cards Try It Class. I love how the Polar Bear just pops on that Black Glimmer Paper.

Textures and Frames 8 Ways



There are just a few days left for Saleabration and I wanted to give you some #simplestamping inspiration for how to use the free Textures and Frames stamp set that you can earn with a $50 purchase.


I grabbed a rainbow of inks and started making my own backgrounds on Basic White Cardstock  using the various shapes I’m the Textures and Frames stamp set. I stamped sentiments in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and finished off each card by adding a Coastal Cabana mat layer and some Basic Rhinestones. I used card bases in Polished Pink or So Saffron. 











For this card I cut my stamped panel down then added a Coastal Cabana layer embossed with the Star Crossed Embossing Folder. 







I hope this gives you a few ideas of how to use the fun shaped stamps in the Textures and Frames stamp set.

Blended Summer Shadows Card



Saleabration ends on September 30th.  This is your last chance to  earn the Summer Shadow Dies for free with $100 purchase.  I absolutely love this set of dies.  They coordinate with the Shaded Summer Stamp set in the Annual Catalog.

I had so much fun today stamping with some Stampin' Friends from Austin over Zoom.  I made this fun card with an ink blended background that just pops with the Summer Shadow Dies.

I did some ink blending with my Blending Brushes and then just die cut the flowers from Basic White Cardstock. 

I embossed my sentiment from the Shaded Summer Stamp Set with White Stampin' Emboss Powder.  
I mounted my 3 3/4" x 5" blended panel on a piece of 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" Basic Black layer and mounted that on a Thick Basic White 4 1/4" x 11" Card Base scored at 5 1/2".

I finished off my card with Basic Rhinestones.
