Pop-Up Butterfly Just For You

 Hello and welcome back! Here's today's card:

This card is for the fun fold challenge at Double Trouble (I also included flowers in the DSP) and the tic-tac-toe challenge at Retro Rubber (diagonal - die cut, layers, your choice). 

I found a tutorial from Dawn Griffith to make this fun pop-up design. This butterfly stamp set is more than 5 years old, so it definitely qualifies for "retro" status!

The butterfly is stamped in Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather, with a Memento Tuxedo Black body and antennae. And of course, I had to add those blingy Iridescent Rhinestones. I hardly ever make a card without them!

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Card of the Day - Another Stellar Birthday!

Hello and welcome back! I've got another space themed birthday card today. I used this set a couple of weeks ago for a 5-year-old boy, but this card is for a 9-year-old girl who is fascinated with all things space-y!

This design is almost the same as the previous card but I did make a few changes. I have used Shimmery White Embossing Paste for a little more sparkle, and I made this one an interlocking circle fun fold card. I also let the dog keep her bone by coloring in the white cardstock with the Misty Moonlight Light Stampin' Blend marker to blend in with the background.

I also located my moon stamp this time so I didn't have to create a moon on my own! 

This fun fold card was created for the challenge at SUO Challenges and the Up In The Air challenge at As You See It.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Card of the Day - Happiest Wishes

 Hello and welcome back! For today's card, I've reached back into my stash of retired products and used a fancy fold inspired by Connie Stewart.

The card base is Pool Party, with layers of Tranquil Tide and Whole Lot of Lovely DSP. The Stitched Circles are Whisper White and Crushed Curry, and the stamping is done with Tranquil Tide. The fold is pretty simple - basically, the front is scored at the 2-1/8" mark and folded back on itself. The wrapped and tied panel is attached on the fold.

I added a layer of Whisper White inside for the sentiment. The outer layer is wrapped and tied with Tranquil Tide Finely Woven Ribbon, and the dot on the exclamation mark is accented with a Glitter Epoxy Shape.

I used the sketch from this week's challenge at Just Add Ink, but I turned it 180 degrees (sort of!).

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Card of the Day - Bubbles & Fizz

 Hello and welcome back! Today's card is for some upcoming birthdays, and it's perfect for the guys.

I've been wanting to make one of these for awhile and a sketch challenge this week seemed to fit the design. 

I pulled out some old Bubbles & Fizz DSP from a couple of years ago. One of the patterns is perfect for the dies to cut out the bottles. I added the silver foil bottle cap and popped the bottle up on the piece that spans the front of the card.

This design was inspired by the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
