Stampin' Up! Silly Old Bear Birthday Card for the Creative Creases Challenge - Anything Goes with a Fun Fold

 Welcome to our Anything Goes With a Fun Fold Challenge.  If you haven't played at the Creative Creases Challenge before, what are you waiting for? Hop on over to Challenge #118. We'd love to see your fun fold creation. Here's mine...

  Let's take a closer look...

This is the portrait orientation of my landscape card here.

 Let's unfold it...

 and again...

My card is for my great-grandson. I wish I could have been there with him but, alas, I decided not to take any trips by plane again. I have my reasons!  Otto just started walking at the end of July and his birthday is in the same month, thus the saying on the front, which I created with my label maker. I had fun using old and new product.  

I also made a mini album of his life on earth from birth through June. I left one page blank so they could add photos of his birthday party. I can't show you the inside as it's all personal and I know you understand that. I got my idea for the cover from Crafting with Holly  on You Tube.

 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#118 ... we hope to see your entry there!

Stampin' Up! Happy Place Birthday Card

Today I really went back into the archives for the color...Certainly Celery. I would be so happy if they brought it back! My photo doesn't do the color justice. Take a look see...

It's prettier IRL. The embossing folder I used is the retired Twigs & Sprigs and I used my Blending Brush to add some Certainly Celery ink. The ribbon is also retired grosgrain Certainly Celery. 

I cut a piece of retired Certainly Celery DSP with a retired die from Tasteful Labels and stamped the sentiment from the Happy Place Stamp Set on a scrap of Basic White cut with a smaller die from the same die set. 3 Granny Apple Green Shimmering Dots were added at the end.

For the inside...

 

more stamps from the Happy Place set (thank you Sharon Armstrong!) and a strip of Certainly Celery DSP. I used a tad of Lost Lagoon on the happy, along with Lemon Lolly and Certainly Celery inks.

You can still find all of the retired products on Ebay but Happy Place is current! I really do think it's time for SU to bring this color back home. Let's see if I'm prophetic in 2027...LOL.

Thank you for stopping by today. 

Stampin' Up! Quilt Friendship Card

Good Monday Morning. It's not a makeover madness card because I only changed the sentiment and the card base. Well, I did add mats and I didn't emboss the quilt panel...so maybe it is a make over! In any event, it's a sister to the one I made here. Take a look see... 

I really like that I didn't have to recreate the quilt part as it was cut from the same paper as last week's. If you created it from my card last week then you'll be on your second card from the big sheet! Two more to go!! Thanks for stopping by!

Stampin' Up! Winnie the Pooh Window Card for the SU Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop

 Hello my stamping friends.  Welcome to our monthly Stampin' Up! Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop!! The participating demonstrators are listed at the end of my post. I hope you will choose to hop along. Here's what I created for the hop today...  

 

 Let's take a closer look, shall we?

I CASE'd Lynn Dunn's card, changing the direction of the striped Silly Old Bear DSP, eliminating a linen thread bow, changing up the acorn/leaves and changing the embellishments to the smallest butterflies from the 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies.

The first inside...
 

and the second inside...

I chose a different sentiment and another "picture frame" for the inside inside. Other than those things, everything is the same as Lynn's as far as the how to and measurements. Thanks, Lynn, for your assistance! 

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you will hop along with the list of demos below.

Stampin' Up! Phrases & Frames Sympathy Card

Good morning...at least that's what it is here in TN on a Monday. My card today is one that nobody likes to have to make but I think the design and paper are beautiful just like the person who went to be with her Lord and Savior. Take a look see...

 

It's a book binding fold and the design was compliments of Maymay Made It. I really had fun creating the quilt part. You can see how to create it here.

 

For the fold...score a piece of 4 1/4" x 11" cardstock at 5 1/2" and 6 3/4". Fold at 5 1/2 and fold back at the 6 3/4. Cut a 1" by 4" DSP strip. I will be posting cards that have mats with measurements next Monday. The cuts for the quilt and how to arrange are in Maymay's video. It's a pattern that creates 4 cards. 

 

Thank you for stopping by.

Stampin' Up! Fern & Flora Birthday for Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop

Welcome to the AIK monthly blog hop. Our theme for this month is "Fun Fold" and we can  use any product we wish.  The list of hoppers is at the end of my post. I hope you'll hop along. Here's a thumbnail of my creation...

 

 Let's take a closer look...

 

This is another card design/fun fold that Alyson Mayo taught me how to make. If you join her group, you can watch the video and get the pdf. I hope you'll do that.

I'm using up some items from my stash that I found when I participated in the Papercrafters Get Organized Summit. I have so many pre-cut butterflies and flowers it's pathetic!

Challenge #376 is to fill in the blank..."My favourite embossing folder is _____. Well, mine is the retired Fern 3D EF. There's not a lot peeking out, but enough that the recipient will know what it is because she's a demonstrator as well. Take a look see...

Let's take a look at the inside...

Measurements:

• Card Base: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4"
• Embossed Mat: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
