you are jawsome

Today I’m sharing a shadow box card that I made last month for a special someone turning 8. I used Lawn Fawn’s Shadow Box Card and Ocean Add-on Dies, Duh-nuh stamp & die set, and the Platform Pop-Up Add-on for the sun & clouds. The number 8 on the back is from Michael’s Recollection Number Dies. I also added a wiggle eye to make the shark extra fun.

Have a fin-tastic day! 🙂

butterfly Topper Trifold Card

I have another Topper Trifold card today and this time I switched out the circles on top for some butterflies! (I could only find two cards with this trifold design, and no name for it. Since any shape could be added to the top, I am simply calling it a Topper Trifold Card going forward. The other Topper Trifold cards that I made are here and here. Below is also a simple photo with measurements.

For my card today, I used the Creative Worship Stamps (Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps) Embrace Change Bundle, Take Time stamp set, and Gratitude Matters Bundle.

When folded, the butterflies are aligned.

Have a great day!

6×6 Pina Colada Dip

Happy Monday! Just popping in to share a sale…and a recipe. 🙂 Creative Worship Stamps (Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps) is having a 50% off sale so if you haven’t checked it out yet, be sure you do. I used one of the retiring sets, Summer Vibes, to create a 6×6 recipe card for a swap.

A few months ago, I was looking for my fruit dip recipe and stumbled upon this Pina Colada version. It’s my new favorite…so yummy!

I figured as long as this was my recipe card swap, I might as well take it as my food item to share too. I placed it on my charcuterie board and added some fun straws and drink umbrellas. 🙂

I’d love to hear if you try it! Have a great day!

vellum pocket ATC

I attended a swap yesterday and the first project I have to share is an ATC card. I wanted to make a see-through pocket, so I created one out of vellum. Then I used the SU! Botanical Layers and Thoughtful Expressions sets to decorate the vellum pocket and Pale Papaya insert.

For the pocket, I started with a 5 1/4 x 3 3/4 piece of vellum and scored the long side @ 1 1/2 and 4. Then the bottom was scored @ 1/4″. After folding, trimming, and adhering it together with Scor-Tape, I used part of a 1 1/4″ circle punch on the top opening. Colors used: Calypso Coral, Pale Papaya, Grapefruit Grove, Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Pool Party, and Lost Lagoon.

Have a great evening!

always a good time

My card today features the new Take Time set, Vintage Clocks Bundle, and Delicate Florals Bundle by Creative Worship Stamps (Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps). Here I made a fun W-V Fold Card for a friend’s challenge. Another friend said that the Sweet Hour of Prayer hymn is her favorite. What’s yours?

(Love the clock in pink! ♥)

Have a great day!

butterfly action wobble

I’m still having fun with the awesome new Embrace Change Bundle by Creative Worship Stamps (Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps). For my card today, I placed one of the butterflies on an Action Wobble. 🙂 My sentiment is from Be Encouraged 2.

Here’s a peek underneath the butterfly. It’s attached to the card with a plastic spring. All you have to do is peel off the backing and stick one side to your image, then the other side to your card.

If you haven’t seen the Action Wobbles in action… here’s a quick video. Have an awesome day!

Butterfly Basics

I’ve been participating in a friend’s weekly challenges lately. The SU! Butterfly Basics set has always been a favorite of hers, so she chose for us to use it this week. It is a favorite of mine as well, so I enjoyed playing along. I’m also enjoying just working with butterflies and flowers again! Here I used Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, and Berry Burst. I believe the lower butterfly is So Saffron.

Have a great weekend!

vintage clocks bridge card

Today I have a Bridge Card using the Creative Worship Stamps (Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps) new Vintage Clocks stamp & die bundle. I love this sentiment because it could be used for grandchildren or also grandparents! Here I stamped the grandfather clock image and placed it on one front side of the bridge card (it fits perfectly!). Then I placed my sentiment flag on the other side. I also added some florals to the “bridge” with the new Delicate Florals Bundle.

Have an awesome day!

shower card and pleated gift wrap

I have a second post for today…here’s a bridal shower card that I needed for this past weekend. The bride’s color is purple, and she loves sunflowers. Here I used a dark, textured purple cardstock for the base and SU! Perfect Plum for the layer. The white layer was die cut with a Penny Black rectangle die and the sunflowers are from a PinkFresh Studio washi tape and coordinating dies. The dress is from the Creative Worship Stamps (Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps) Mr. & Mrs. stamp & die bundle. I also used a sentiment on the inside from the Engagement & Wedding Innies set. Her name was printed on the computer; this is one of the things that I love about this hobby…being able to personalize projects!

I also wanted to share how the gift was wrapped up. I found this pleated gift-wrapping tutorial and gave it a try. Then I used my wax seal kit on the bottom center and tucked a few things into the pleats. I printed their photo in purple (I blurred the faces here). Then the card was tucked into the top pleat.

I have a few of the sunflowers leftover from this project so you may see them show up later on the wedding card. 🙂

Have a great week!

delicate florals

Good morning! Today I have a quick card that I made for a friend’s challenge to use black, white, and tan. I started with a black & white floral-patterned paper for the background. Then I embossed the tan panel and layered some flowers from the new Creative Worship Stamps (Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps) Delicate Florals Bundle. The sentiment is from Be Encouraged 2.

Have a great Tuesday!
