Stampin' Up! Clubhouse Masculine Birthday Card

Good mid-week, peeps! I needed a birthday card for my former boss who is an avid golfer. We've been friends for 30 years this September and we both retired 25 years ago! He was the best boss I have had in my entire life! Let's took a look at what he'll be receiving this week.

It's been awhile since I've entered challenges so today I've decided to play at Just Us Girls

Stampin' Up! Epiphany

Good afternoon, peeps! Today Christians celebrate Epiphany, the day the Magi brought gifts to the King of Kings, Jesus, in Bethlehem. I have been sick so I didn't go to the church service, but I did watch online. I didn't post any pics of homemade Christmas cards I received because I was waiting until they were all in. Here are the results...

Linda K., Shirley G., Deb S.

Susan K., Rosie K., LeAnne P.

Sue M., Barb B., Dottie H.

Judi H., Pam C.

My two upline friends sent me thank you gifts for being part of their team. I am grateful to have spent 2024 stamping with them and with all my stamping friends. I'm looking forward to another wonderful stamping year.😊

I would like to thank all of you who stop by to check out my posts and especially those who are able to leave comments. I know Blogger doesn't always make it easy! 

In 2025, I will probably only post twice a month on 2nd and 4th Tuesdays, once a month on Friday and every Thursday. Stay tuned and stop by, please.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Reflections Sympathy Card for the Creative Creases Challenge #99 - Anything Goes with a Fun Fold

Welcome to our Anything Goes With a Fun Fold Challenge. If you haven't played at Creative Creases Challenge before, what are you waiting for? Hop on over to Challenge #99. We'd love to see your fun fold creation. Oh, and by the way, Happy New Year! Here's a snapshot of mine...

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

No one likes to make a sympathy card, but I think with the Quiet Reflections Stamp Set and beautiful Thoughtful Journeys DSP, it becomes easier.

I created the design of this fun fold with the help of Connie Stewart at Simply Simple Stamping. Here are my deets:

Card Base: Misty Moonlight cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 1 1/4" and 5 1/2"

Mats: Petunia Pop cut at 1" x 5 1/4" (2); 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" (2); and 4" x 5 1/4" (cut the mat for the sentiment out of the top portion to save cardstock!)

DSP cut at 3/4" x 5" (2), 2 1/2" x 5" (2); you can get the template by going to Connie's website or her video on You Tube

Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5" for inside; 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" for circle sentiment

Petunia Pop Ink for stamping sentiments

Two Tone Sparkle Gems (Online Exclusive available 1/7/25)

Brushed Brass Butterflies

Velcro to hold flaps closed

Here's a look at the inside...

NEWS FLASH!! Creative Creases Challenge will be changing from biweekly to monthly ...  see you on February 7th for the next CCC! 

Thank you for stopping by today and I can't wait to see all the creativity from the team. Be sure to check us out at CCC#99 and we hope to see your entry there!
