A Quick & Simple Fun Fold Featuring You Always Deliver

Hello and Happy Tuesday! Today, I have another quick and simple project for you. It's a fun fold card, but it's so quick and simple you'll be able to knock off a bunch of these in no time at all. Today, I am featuring my product pick for the week, the You Always Deliver stamp stamp set by Stampin' Up!. I think this little mailman/UPS guy/FedEx guy is just too cute for words!

Seriously, he can be whatever delivery person you want him to be, just change up your coloring scheme and voila...he's a postman or FedEx delivery guy! Today I went with the monochromatic look with just a pop of the Pretty Peacock and Real Red. I'm pretty happy with the results. 

For a complete list of supplies with links to my online store, see below. I also have a downloadable PDF with all of the measurements, just use the link below.

Simple Open Top Gift Box featuring You Always Deliver by Stampin' Up!

Hello and Happy Monday my friends! The week is off and running already that's for sure! I hope you all had a great weekend and your week ahead is a great one.

Today I have a fun little gift box to share with you. It really is a simple open top gift box that is so useful for so many small gifts. I used it to present a package of the Walmart, Better Homes and Gardens Wax Melts. It is also perfect for gifting a roll of ribbon or many other crafty supplies! Today, I'm featuring this cute little gift box with the You Always Deliver stamp set by Stampin' Up!

I am totally in love with the Pretty Peacock/Crumb Cake color combo. I can not get enough of it. I find it so striking.

Anyway, I have a downloadable/printable PDF below with all of the measurements and the list of supplies.

Have a great day and I will see you tomorrow!

Blueberry Bushel and Lemon Lime Twist meet Varied Vases

Hello and Happy Thursday! Well, it's another one of THOSE weeks. Our hospital is currently undergoing accreditation and the stress levels have been running HIGH...OH MY! And it's been a really long week..and to top it all off, we get to make another attempt at heading to Mobile, Al Monday....I'm hoping this is "3rd time's a charm" otherwise, I hope it's "3 strikes and you're out" because this is just crazy.....I have actually attempted to write this post every day since Tuesday!
Anyway, onto the fun stuff! I am so in love with the Varied Vases bundle. It is one of those stamp sets that makes creating a beautiful card almost mindless! What I mean by that is there is little to no effort required to make a beautiful card with this set. Grab a few awesome colors that you love, some paper and go to town. The designs are endless and everyone turns out amazing...like I said, NO EFFORT! Now who wouldn't want that?

Instructions:

Ok, now here are all the deets for re-creating this card:

Measurements:

Lemon Lime Twist: 8.5" x 5.5" scored and folded at 4.25"; 5.25" x 4"; 4.5" x 1 3/8";  3.5" x 2.25"

Blueberry Bushel: 5 3/8" x 4 1/8";  4 3/4" x 1 5/8"; 4 3/8" x 1 1/4"; 3 5/8" x 2 3/8"; 2" x 2"

Whisper White: 1 7/8" x 1 7/8"

2018-2020 In Color DSP 6" x 6" Paper Pack: scrap

Run the 5.25" x 4" layer of Lemon Lime Twist through the Big Shot with the Polka Dot embossing folder and adhere the layers together. Stamp the sentiment from the Varied Vases stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink and layer it onto the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. Punch out the vase using the coordinating Vase Builder punch from a scrap piece of the DSP and stamp the flowers onto the Whisper White square and to color the flower heads, stamp off once with Blueberry Bushel and add a couple of leaves with the Lemon Lime Twist ink. Pop the vase up on Mini Stampin' Dimensionals and add a double bow from Whisper White Bakers Twine and add the the vase with a Glue Dot.

I hope you enjoyed today's card and would love to hear your comments, so please feel free to leave a comment below. If you enjoy tutorials such as this and would like to get them direct to your inbox, join my mailing list here.
