Hello Friends,

A Bridge Card is a 3D Card that pops up and yet it flattens to send through the mail.  It's the best of both worlds when it comes to card making.

As soon as I saw the Grandma's House stamp set I just knew that I would have to have it.  By combining the Grandma's House stamp set with the Hand Lettered Prose dies, I was able to say, "Nana sure does love you".  And the x's and o's are hugs and kisses.

See how simple it is to make a Nana Sure Loves you Bridge Card in this video.

Double Pop Up Card-Be sure to stop by Friday for a Double Pop Up Card.  It will fold flat to mail too!

Hello Friends,

Our newest grandson was born late last week, so naturally, I set to making a handmade Baby Card.  It's a Double Z Fold Card featuring retiring, carryover, and new stamps and dies.  I love that I could personalize Baby Hudson's Card using my Large Letter Framelit Dies. These dies are fabulous for oh so many things.   I will be sad to see these dies go.  They are only available about a week more or WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.

Would you like to meet Baby Hudson and learn How to Make Double Z Fold Cards?

Introducing Hudson Cole Feicht!

How to Make a Double Z Fold Card

Cut Card Base 4-1/4" x 11".  Score at 2-3/4" and 5-1/2".

Cut a second strip of card stock measuring 2" x 11" to form the second "Z".  Score at 2-3/4" and 5-1/2".

Hint:  The second Z will go the opposite direction of the card base as shown in the picture above.

The Double Z Fold Card is 3 dimensional, but it will fold to tuck neatly in an A-2 or medium envelope.

You'll be happy to know that the This Little Piggy stamp set is carrying over to the new Stampin' Up! Catalog.  And you will be doubly happy to know that there is a super cute new farm animal stamp set with cows that will coordinate with the This Little Piggy stamp set.  The Over the Moon stamp set and the This Little Piggy stamp set play well together.

Large Letter Dies aren't just for card making, they work equally well for Scrapbooking and Memory Keeping.  Just look at how they work for scrapbook Titles!

One of my favorite techniques that works oh so well with the Large Letter Dies is the Eclipse Technique.  Click Here to learn How to Do the Eclipse Technique.

Large Letter Dies Going, Going, Gone.  If you would like to add the Large Letter Dies to your Craft Room Stash, order soon.  They will only be around through June 3 or WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.

Have a fabulous day,

Hello Friends,

Do you have kids in your life?  The Treehouse Adventure stamp set by Stampin' Up! has kids written all over it.  For the next 3 days, I'll share a parade of projects made with the Treehouse Adventure stamp set.  Starting with this playful Easel Card.  It's my salute to a fabulous kids stamp set. 

The Treehouse Adventure stamp set is on the 2019 Stampin' Up! Retirement list.  Which means that it will only be available for just a little while longer.  

This card may look complicated at first glance, but it's really just a series of stamping, cutting and scoring.  Not mention, it's really a lot of fun to watch your card come to life.  You really don't have to be a master crafter to make this Treehouse Adventure Birthday Card.  Let me share a few tips on how to make this Easel Card.

Treehouse Adventure Easel Card Tips

Start by stamping your tree and treehouse.  I used Lemon Lime Twist (retiring), Granny Apple Green, Pineapple Punch, Pumpkin Pie, Night of Navy, Soft Suede and Basic Gray Inks.  Some of my elements were started then fussy cut.  And others, such as my tree trunk, tire swing, sign, grass, and sentiment were stamped directly on my card face.  Then, I adhered my cut images to build my treehouse.

Hint:  To say "Happy Birthday" with different shades of Navy simple stamp multiple times before inking you stamp again.  This Technique is called Stamping Off.

To make the easel, simply cut a 4-1/4" x 11" card base.  Then, score your card base at 5-1/2" and 2-3/4".  Fold to form a triangle.  Adhere your card front to the front side of that triangle.

To make everything stamp up, you will need a support piece.  On my card, I layered a series of rectangles and popped them up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  This is the catch to hold your easel in place.

I did swipe the base sentiment (Hope Your Day is Filled with Fun and Lots of Happy Surprises!) from the Postcard Pals stamp set.  Sadly, this cute stamp set is also retiring.

Color inspiration for today's Child's Birthday Card came from this week Color Throwdown Challenge of yellow, orange, navy and green.

Scoop Up the Treehouse Adventure stamp set and other retiring Stampin' Up! crafting supplies before they are gone.  Retiring products will be available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST or June 3, 2019.  For your convenience, I've listed all the supplies for today's card below.

Have a fabulous day,
