Fancy Fold Weekly Wednesday FB Class

 


Hi Everyone,

Thanks for stopping in for my Fancy Fold projects. I decided to use a couple of my favorite products and create two of the same Fancy Fold to show off my favs.


The Latte Love Suite is found on the Online Exclusives at Stampin' Up! My favorite part is the A Little Latte 12" x 12" Desiner Series Paper. I am beginning to enjoy the dies quite a lot as well. 


The stamp set is also a lot of fun. The splatter and cup stain are great for the inside of this card!


One of my favorite Designer Series Papers is the Fresh as a Daisy 12" x 12" DSP. I just love the colors in this package of DSP. It is perfect for the Easter Bunny stamp set and punch. 


This Fancy Fold card layout is really very easy. I have a PDF tutorial that you can click on and download to create your own. Share your project with me if you do make one. I'd love to see what you've created. 


You can also check out details on my March Madness FREE card kit and Mystery Hostess drawing. I have a recent blog with all the details. Thanks again for stopping in. I hope to have you back again.

Freshly Made Sketches with Softly Sketched Stamp set



Hi Everyone,

Thanks for checking in on my blog today. If you saw the recent March Madness Blog, you know that this card is one of the four cards in my FREE March card kit. I origanlly designed this card for the Freshly Made Sketch Challenge #624 by Jen B. I love creating with the sketch challenges. I feel like half of the work is taken care of, so all I need to do now is choose the products I'll use. 


I just love the colors in the Softly Stippled Designer Series papers. They are so soft and subtle. This paper was a FREE Sale-a-Bration pick in January & February. The colors in my card are Wild Wheat, Pool Party, and Lost Lagoon. So very nice!


I love the beautiful stamped images in the Softly Sketed Stamp set. I thinks the petite sentiments are perfect for some simple yet stunning stamping. One idea I was thinking about was to use the Stampin' Up! Notecards & Envelopes to create some gift sets of cards using the images and sentiments in the stamp set. It would be such a nice variety of handstamped cards. I'll be sure to share a blog when I get that finished. 

I hope you enjoyed my card for the Freshly Made Sketch Challenge #624. You can create your own card for this challenge too. The challenges are open to everyone, so have some fun! Check out the March Madness post if you are interested knowing more on how to get my March card kit FREE.

Happy Stampin',

It's March Madness - FREE Card Kit & Mystery Hostess

 


Hi Everyone,

Thanks for stopping in for my March Madness blog post. It's always so much fun when March arrives. So many festive activities are happening, so I wanted to share my love of crafting more with you. You can earn this FREE card kit with four fabulous cards when you order with me in March. 


The cards in the FREE card kit are the cards that my local stamping friends can come to my workshop room and make them on the third Saturday of the month. I am extending these cards to other stamping friends near and far who cannot make my in person workshop. 


 

One of the wonderful things about this FREE card kit is that three of the cards are using new Online Exclusive products. 


The Latte Love Suite is great with fabulous DSP, Embellishments, and a Bundle. The DSP is definately the star of the card. 


The other Suite is called Flowering Zinnias. It also has stunning DSP, embellishments, and a Bundle. Two of the cards feature these products. One project is a special folds card too.




For this FREE card kit, any order of $30 before shipping and tax qualifies you to get the March kit. In order to qualify, you need to shop with me. When you shop my links, the host code is already applied. If you shop online without my link, the Hostess code is #S7QDERMS. Use at checkout.


The last card in the FREE card kit uses the Softly Sketched Stamp set in the current catalog. I've paired it with the Sale-a-Bration Softly Stippled DSP. This DSP goes so well with the stamp set!

Did I mentioned that during this March Madness month, any orders placed with me by March 30th, will go into the drawing for Mystery Hostess. That means, you could win all the hostess dollars for the party total  (minimum $150 party total is required before hostess benefits apply). This also is only for U.S. customers. I cannot ship outside the U.S.. 


I hope you love these cards as much as I do. I am so happy with the new Online Exclusive products. Remember, if you want to get this FREE card kit, you simply place the minimum $30 order by March 30th and I will package and ship your card kit the first week of the following month.

Thanks again for stopping in for this March Madness post. I hope I've inspired you to craft with me. 

Happy Stampin',

Additional Supplies:

In order to complete the projects like mine, you will need to have some of your own supplies. I cannot stamp any images, so you will need to have the same stamp sets or switch out for something you already have. Much of the cards focus on the designer series papers. All the consumble cardstock, DSP, Die-Cuts, and embossing will be done for you. Stamp sets, sentiments, inks and adhesives will be your responsibility. I've listed below the additional supplies you will need. Add any of these to your order. Latte Love and Flowering Zinnia products are available to order March 5th. I cannot add images of these, so be sure to look those up at my online store under Online Exclusives.
