Double Bendy Fund Fold using Safari Smiles

Sneak peek at one of the cards we're making at the July Avid Stampers Class...lots of layers. The original is designed by my friend Cindy Piggott and she called it the "Double Bendy" card. This is one of those cards you leave out for all to enjoy. The greeting goes on the back on one of the coordinating Every Day Arches dies. So darling with the elephant from Safari Smiles showing this stamp set isn't just for baby cards. Enjoy!

Heirloom Boutique in Hydrangea Hue Creative Ambassador Card

A great layout suitable for any papers and images in your stash. Jane was our Creative Ambassador in June and shared this pretty card featuring the Heirloom Boutique stamp set paired up with the precious Bloom Boutique patterned paper. I really like the scalloped circle layer for the flower. Do you like this blue? It's called Hydrangea Hue and one of our new In Colors. Thanks, Jane!

Bigger than it looks mini Gift Bag with Relax and Splash

Really like making little treat holders like this one especially with this adorable paper and the cute Splash and Relax bundle! This one measures 3.5 inches wide by 2.75 inches tall by a one inch deep - a lovely size for tucking in a gift card, candy, a small gift, two little hand sanitizers. Lots of choices! These would be perfect for a party, loot bags or little gifties for your next BBQ.

Measurements:

  1. Cardstock 9.5 inches by 6.5 inches
  2. Along the long side, score at: 3.5", 4.5", 8" and 9"
  3. Along the short side, score at: 2.75" and 3.75"
  4. Cut up the score lines and wrap into a box shape sealing with the .5" tab

Pinwheel Fun Fold with Relaxing Waterside

Ever made a Pinwheel card? It's a very cool layout that still folds flat and fits in a standard envelope. What a masterpiece for putting on display. Works well for patterned paper, images or even photos. Tip: Colour the ends of the bullrushes with a Pecan Pie stampin' blend once cut out of Gray Granite. Works great! Best to avoid popping layers up on dimensionals to enable folding for mailing. This was a hit at the June Avid Stampers Class where everyone took home the Relaxing Waterside bundle. Love it!

Beautiful Moth

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!
