Circle Sayings Barn Door Cards

The Circle Sayings Bundle works so well with these Barn Door Fun Fold Cards. The images fit into the circles that work with the coordinating punch!

Watch the video to see these new products and learn how to make these cards. Click the button to get a printable Project Sheet with the measurements and instructions.

I love the Wild Wheat color for this card (cardstock, ink and Designer Series Paper). Since I didn’t have the new Lemon Lolly and Azure Afternoon Stampin’ Blends yet, I decided to color them with ink from the ink pads and a Wink Of Stella Brush.

Just press a clear block into the ink pad and pick up the ink with the brush and color. You’ll get a nice glimmer to your image.

For this card I used the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper along with Azure Afternoon Cardstock and Ink. The cupcake was colored the same way with the ink and Wink of Stella Brush and I used Azure Afternoon and Bubble Bath.

These new products will be available for purchase when the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog launches on May 2, 2023.

Irresistible Blooms Mother's Day Cards

The Hello, Irresistible Suite of products is perfect to use for Mother’s Day Cards. I love the Designer Series Paper and the Irresistible Blooms Bundle. I had to look for a nice “Happy Mother’s Day” sentiment and found it in the Marigold Moments Stamp set which sadly is no longer available.

To make this card I used Flirty Flamingo for the card base and Ink. I cut the circle from the center of the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper using the swirly circle die from the set, and cut a flower and leaves from the paper as well.

Lay the paper over a piece of Basic White to determine where to stamp and then mask the sentiment with Post-It Notes to break it down to 3 lines. I flicked some ink from a Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Marker to add some interest.

Add the flower with Dimensionals and the leaves behind it. Add some Loose Frosted Dots with Liquid Glue.

On the inside, stamp the sentiment (from the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set) and a small flower with Flirty Flamingo Ink. Stamp leaves with Pretty Peacock or Lost Lagoon Ink.

This card has a Pretty Peacock card base, Basic White 5 1/4 x 4 layer and a Designer Series Paper 5 x 3 3/4 layer. Cut a stitched square from the Stylish Shapes Dies and the flower and leaves from the Designer Series Paper. Stamp the sentiment with Flirty Flamingo on Basic White and cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. Add some Loose Frosted Dots.

On the inside stamp the sentiment with Pretty Peacock Ink and the flower with Flirty Flamingo Ink and the leaves with Pretty Peacock Ink, stamping off first to get a lighter shade.

I used the Contoured Scalloped Dies to cut the Basic White and Designer Series Paper layers and adhered them to a Flirty Flamingo Card Base. Stamp the sentiment on a strip of Basic White with Flirty Flamingo Ink and cut to fit just around the sentiment and add with Dimensionals. Add some Loose Frosted Dots.

Note: The Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon products will be available for purchase starting May 2, 2023.

Sketch Saturday - Rhino Ready Step Card

I made this fun Step Card for this week’s Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge using the Rhino Ready Bundle. This little rhino is so cute and I love how the dies cut those trees.

Here’s the sketch that I followed. I didn’t realize it was a Fun Fold at first and then looked on Pinterest to see how to make a Step Card.

Tips & Instructions

• Granny Apple Green Card Base - 4 1/4 x 9, scored at 1 1/4, 2 1/2 and 5 3/4. Fold and burnish base

• Cut 2 trees from Early Espresso and 2 treetops from Granny Apple Green. Adhere the treetops to the trees and then the trees to the front area making sure to only put adhesive on the tree trunks that will be touching the card, there will be some that overhang and you don’t want glue on it.

• Adhere the 9 x 2 piece of Granny Apple Green Cardstock to the back and front areas of the card base making sure that you only put adhesive on the areas that will attach to the card base. The back piece should be adhere all the way down the back so it’s flush along the bottom.

• Basic White Front Layer - 5 1/4 x 2 1/4

• Balmy Blue Front Layer - 5 x 2

• Stamp 2 of the grassy images with Granny Apple Green Ink and cut with coordinating die. Adhere the clouds and grass to the Balmy Blue Layer and cut any overhang off. Adhere the rhino with Dimensionals.

• Stamp the sentiment with Black Memento Ink on 1/4 strip of Basic White and adhere just below the rhino.
