Pop Up Love

This girl has bitten off more than she can chew, at least as far as giving good directions on this one, so I'm going to give you the link to the video I watched for clarification.  I was going to give you my instructions in pictures, but it just came out more confusing.

Here is the inside to finish yesterday's post.  Isn't it fun!  Even better on video!   Click HERE to see the video that I followed for instructions.  My measurements are below.  In the video, by Cathy Williams, she cuts the DSP to fit into the folds.  Mine is just simply a rectangle placed down first.

Recipe:  

Whisper White Thick Cardstock - 11" x 4 1/4", score and fold at 5 1/2
Designer Series Paper - 5 1/4" x 4" (times 2)

Whisper White Cardstock (not thick) 11" x 2 3/4" - score at 2 3/4", 5 1/2", 8 1/4" (fold as shown above in the final product)

Whisper White 8 1/2" x 2 1/2" (see video for scoring and folding)

Designer Series Squares 2 1/4" x 2 1/4"

Large Letters Framelits Dies

Thank you for looking in today.  One more day until the weekend!  Yayyy!

A Sneak Peek

We made this awesome card at our Team Meeting a week ago and I simply had to give it a try so we can make it at a workshop this weekend.

I'm only going to show you part of it right now, because it is late on Tuesday and I need to get to bed, once I change my sheets... seems we had a pet that decided their dinner needed to come up.  On. My. Bed.  Thankfully I have a waterbed (yes, I still have one and I can't sleep without it), but at least I don't have a mattress I can't clean easily.

So, you can see a little peek inside here and a little more below in the next picture.  

A better peek: 

and a little clue...

Tomorrow I'll share the details.  Just remember, this can be made with anything inside and outside.  No need to be Valentine's.  As a matter of fact, I have a really cute idea in my head.  Look out!  ha ha!

Happy Hump Day!

Fun Fold Card

Here's a fun fold card I'm sure you've seen all over the place.  This is a really easy one and can have so many possibilities depending on what you need or the pretty Designer Series Papers (DSP)'s that you have.

Today we're preparing for a lady who will be turning 90 years old on February 17th.  Her wish is to receive 90 cards for her 90th.  She has worked as a troubleshooter for us for as long as I can remember, which would be about 26 years since that's how long I've been working in the County Election office.  The last several election cycles she's been working in the office helping with processing early ballots instead of out on the road.

Recipe: (pay attention, it's a little different than normal)

Emerald Envy - 7 3/4" x 5 1/2" - score at 6" and 1 3/4" along the 7 3/4" side.
Tangerine Tango - 5 1/4" x 1 1/2"
Party Animal Designer Series Paper - 5" x 1 1/4"

Inside Panel - 5 1/4" X 4"

I cut the largest circle from the Stitched Shapes and the 90 from Large Numbers Framelits Dies

Don't forget to decorate the envelope too!

Thank you for looking in today!

Welcome Little Lamb

So sorry I missed yesterday's posting... it just wasn't meant to be!  😒

On Saturday I'm heading to a baby shower.  I haven't been to one of those in ages it seems!  This one is going to be so much fun, the baby is going to be a GIRL!  She will have a big brother and a big uncle.  I think she'll be the best protected little girl in that family!

Recipe:
Pink Pirouette - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Whisper White - 5 1/4" x 4
Pink Pirouette from Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
Stamps:  Barnyard Babies

I stamped the lamb with Archival Black and then used my watercolor pencils to add a little color and the Blender Pen to smooth out the pencils.  After it dried I added the Clear Wink of Stella to make the  little lambies sparkle!

The ribbon is Blushing Bride, but it works well with Pink Pirouette.

Don't forget to decorate your envelope flap as well!

Thank you for looking in today!  Happy Friday!

Let's Taco About Taco Trucks

Food trucks are a really big deal these days so when this perfect stamp set came out, I just knew it would be a favorite!  Even better, it's FREE with a $50.00 (before tax and shipping) order. 

Even better, look how perfect the taco version goes with Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper with our Arizona Saguaro cactus and the festive streamers.

 Recipe:

Pacific Point - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Festive Birthday DSP - 5 1/4" x 3 1/2" and 5 1/4" x 1" - card below DSP 5 1/4" x 2 3/4" and 5 1/4" x 1 1/4"
Watercolor Paper - 4" x 3"
Melon Mambo 4 1/4" x 3 1/4

Color as desired.  Mine are all colored with Watercolor Pencils (which have sold out for now, but should be available to order again soon!)

Now, a confession on the inside.  This adorable little Pinata is not Stampin' Up! BUT it was a very special gift from a dear friend and I could hardly wait to add it to the inside.  Thank You Chris!  I love it!

Thank you for looking in today... it's very late (last night) and I should have been in bed ages ago!  More fun to stamp and play though.  

Happy Hump Day!
