Twisted Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I have a fun fold card.  The card is a unique fold and was fun to create.

The card base is made from Summer Days Cardstock, which measures at 4 x 10.  I scored the the card into three parts and then the two end parts,  score in half diagonally.
I then cut the pattern paper to fit the triangle areas.

I used Pool Play cardstock for the center part.

All images are from Lawn Fawn. 
Colored with Fun Stampers Journey Color Burst pencils.
All other materials are from Fun Stampers Journey and can be purchased here.

Christmas in July with Crafty Gals Corner

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today we have a new challenge at Crafty Gals Corner.  It is time to break out those Christmas stamps and create a card.

I created a Christmas card using this sweet mouse with his cocoa from Bugaboo.

I created the card base with Fun Stampers Journey Cardstock.  I then matted the Photoplay Holiday Cheer pattern paper onto the Cranberry Bliss Cardstock.
I then colored the mouse with my Copics:
Nose and Ears: R83, R81
Cup: R37, R35, R32
Sweater and Bow: G99, YG67, G28
Mouse:  C5, C3, C1
Spoon: N5, N2
Cocoa: E47, E44

I hope you will come and join the challenge with us at Crafty Gals Corner. Challenge ends on August 12th at 11:59pm.

Hello Crafty Friends,

I have a simple card with you today.

You start with a piece of Rich Coral cardstock that is 11 x 4 1/4.  First you fold the cardstock in half and then you take the top fold and fold it in half. 

I then added a piece of Pineapple Smoothie layer to inside of the card.  Next, I added a piece of pattern paper from Playful Prints to one side.  I then added a piece of the same pattern paper to the front flap.
Next, I stamped the sentiment, Make a Wish ATS on a piece of Whip Cream Cardstock with Catalina Splash ink and matted the piece with Pineapple Smoothie Cardstock.  I adhered this to the front flap.
To finish the card, I made my own glitter paper by placing a layer of White Liner sheet on a piece of Catalina Splash cardstock.  Then, I die cut the star out with the Stardom Die set.  Once it is cut out, I removed the top layer of the white liner sheet and sprinkled the piece with Journey Sparkle Dust. 

I hope you will try making your own Glitter Paper.
All supplies are from Fun Stampers Journey and can be purchased here.

The adventure I documented was a small part of our trip to San Diego last summer. 

When I was little, I would spend a week in San Diego and my grandma and I would spend hours looking for shells on the shore.  I wanted to do the same thing with the kids, so we did.  We did not find a lot of shells, and we got eaten by bugs, but it was still a great adventure.
Here is a detail picture of the shells I added to the layout as embellishments that I cut with my Cricut and Life's a Beach cartridge.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello Crafty Friends,

I hope your July is going well.  I am loving having some days off to relax and get my craft on.

Once a month, I host a crop here at my house and we have a theme which helps us to pick the food, swaps and decor.  Last month we had a circus theme and here is the card I created.

I used my cricut to cut out the elephant and peanut.  I then anchored them on the card with a circle behind them.  I stamped the sentiment "Smile" from the Escape the Ordinary stamp set with Black Licorice ink.

The pattern paper was from my stash and the cardstock is from Fun Stampers Journey.

You can purchase the Fun Stampers Journey product here.

Hello Crafty Friends,

I have been having a great summer so far.  Getting lots of time to read, rest and craft. 

Here is a card I created for my classes.

The technique I showed my students on this card was making a more textured background with an embossing folder.  If you spray your paper with water, just to wet it, do not saturate, and then emboss it, the design comes out more defined.

I used all Fun Stampers Journey products and can be purchased here.
Cardstock: Limeade Splash, Butter Cream, Fresh Forest, Orange Creamcicle, Pineapple Smoothie and Kiwi Slice
Dies: Journey Ovals, Blooming Details
Sentiment: Everyday Script
Ink: Kiwi Slice
