Made this beautiful card for my July Team Tutorial. The moth is stunning in Soft Sea Foam against the other greens in the Moonlit Flora paper. Reminds me of visits to the Butterfly Conservatory in Cambridge, ON where – on a cold blustery day – you can enjoy the warmth of a tropical paradise surrounded by butterflies and moths and a few other creatures. Not for those who don’t love these creatures landing on them but if you do, it’s a must-do!
Had my team Stampin’ Social last week and most everyone who attends will swap cards with each other. This is mine featuring the Capturing Smiles bundle. Unless you’re a photography buff, I imagine you take most of your photos with your phone or possibly your tablet (if you’re a boomer, that is!). With vacation season upon us, this bundle will be a hit for scrapbook pages as well as cute cards. I love the look of Coastal Cabana with a pop of pink and black. It really gives a pop.
Thanks for stopping by!
Are you taking some time to relax into summer? That’s all I think about when I see an Adirondack chair. Did you know it was invented in the very early 1900s by Thomas Lee in Westport, New York which is located in Adirondack Park? They and were popularized in tuberculosis sanatoriums because the armrests helped open up the sitters’ chests. Since the 1980s it’s been marketed in Canada as a “Muskoka chair” but they did not originate in the Muskokas! (source: Wikipedia)
This fancy fold is my rendition featuring the Relaxing Waterside Suite Collection on a fun fold diorama card layout. Enjoy!
This card is called the impossible card for a reason: The base is made by cutting and twisting the white layer to create the pop up front. One of the cards we’re making at the Avid Stampers class later this month where for $80 you take home 4 cards and the Safari Smiles stamp set and die bundle. I’ll be showing how to make this amazing card so get in on that action by sending me a DM to sign up for in-person or Kit-to-Go.
