Fun Folds featuring Fitting Florets Collection

Fitting Florets Header


Hey friends 
I know this is my second post for the day, but I'm trying to play catch up this week, so watch for one more tomorrow to bring me up to day, and the final card on Friday.

This whole week I am focusing on the beautiful Fitting Floret's Collection by Stampin' Up! I LOVE this collection of product. But the thing is, you need to act fairly fast to get the additional stamp set and the gorgeous DSP. Those are only available for a limited time only. 

So today's card is a fun fold I found and wanted to try. This one is SO Cool.

So, for this card...I got a little over zealous during my FB Live and trimmed my card- totally messing up the sizing...So, I'm going to give you all the measurements HERE! So for those of you watching, my apologies, but follow these directions.

Night of Navy Card panel 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"; large enough scrap to die cut Oval shape 
Basic White 4-1/8" x 11" Scored at 2-3/4" turn to the other end and score at 2-7/8" and scrap for stamping
Balmy Blue large enough to cut Oval frame
Fitting Florets DSP cut 2-1/2" x 4" and 2-3/4" x 4"

And that's all there is to it. Really not a difficult fun fold as long as  you stick to the plan and don't try to change things up without thinking the WHOLE thing through lol. I guess this falls under the, "do as I say, not as I do" category lol.

Anyhoo, I hope you'll give it a try. I would love to see your results. Be sure to post them over in the VIP for all to see and ooh and aah...it's a thing over there.

Happy Stamping!

Let's Get Abstract!

Splendid Abstract

 Hey friends, 

I'm totally late in getting this card posted here. Time keeps getting away from me and this time change! Ugh! Anyone else struggling with this crazy stuff? I'm ready for bed by 5:30 in the evening...I mean seriously struggling to keep my eyes open...It's dark, so my peepers think it's bed time!

Anyhoo, this card features the half circle die and some of the gorgeous DSP from the Splendid Day collection in a very abstract layout. The foils in this DSP is gorgeous. My camera just can't seem to capture just how beautiful it is. 

Have you had an opportunity to play with this suite? I'd love to know other ways you have used this half circle die. Feel free to share in the comments

Add a Brick Wall Background to your card

Brick Wall

Wow! Can you believe it's Thursday already? And November no less? Anyhoo, I have another card featuring the Splendid Day Suite from the July to December Mini catalog. 

This one features a fun Brick Background. This was the second card I featured during my Facebook/YouTube Live Sunday. After running the Calypso Coral CS through my "Big Boss" with the 3D Brick and Mortar Embossing Folder, I used a Blending Brush and Craft White ink to "distress" a few of the bricks before wrapping with the Soft Sea Foam ribbon and adhered it to the card base. Then it was layering all of the remaining elements.
