Welcome to Monday Makeover Madness. Well, it's not quite a makeover because it is the companion card to yesterday's post! When you create the black and white combo with the intricate Artistic Dies, you can end up with two cards. I'll show you what I mean with the first one being today's card and the second, yesterday's card.

Stampin' Up! Artistic Sympathy Card

Stampin' Up! Inspired Thoughts Sympathy Card
Good Sunday morning, peeps! Are you snowed in? It was 37 degrees here in southwest Florida this morning. Warm compared to some!
I watched a video by Connie Stewart to create my card for today. I admit it was not easy for me with the intricate die from the Artistic Dies and the Adhesive Sheets. My embossing machine was not making the greatest impression for all the nooks and crannies! But, here's the end result...
In addition to the Artistic Dies, I used the Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set for the sentiment, the Catching Butterflies Stamp Set (Sale-A-Bration) for the White Craft Ink butterflies at the top. At the bottom I used three Black Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
The sentiment was cut out with the Lovely Labels Punch and adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.
I'm entering my card at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends #174 - ATG.
Thank you for stopping by today. May you stay warm and have power during the blizzard if it has hit your area.

Stampin' Up! Love & Happiness Valentine Card
Good brrrr Saturday morning from southwest FL where it's 50 degrees! In the heat of the moment, I went to my craft room and whipped up a card inspired by:
- Allsorts Challenge Anything Goes with the option of using a stencil
- Mod Squad - Valentine's Day Card for my theme
- Just Add Ink #588 for my colors
My card base is Magenta Madness with a mat of Misty Moonlight.
I used a retired Hearts & Stars Decorative Mask to create my hearts in the three challenge colors as well. I lightly sponged the Basic White panel with matching ink.
In my stash I had the Misty Moonlight heart from the Bouquet of Love 3d Hybrid Embossing Folder and a piece of White 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon. So, I adhered the ribbon to the card front with a bit of tape and then placed the heart over it with Stampin' Dimensionals. I added 5 Just Jade 2020-2022 In Color Square Gems to the card front. I also stamped the sentiment from the Love & Happiness Stamp Set in Magenta Madness ink. Card front done! I haven't decided what to do with the inside yet.
Thanks for stopping by this chilly Saturday morning.

Stampin' Up! Last a Lifetime Wedding Card
Today I created my card with the foiling technique. I hadn't done it in awhile and I came across my supplies when I was searching for some missing items.
I adhered a gold mat for my Very Vanilla sentiment panel. I punched the corners with my Detailed Trio Punch. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink but it just looked too "blah". So, I ran the panel through my embossing machine with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I'm now wondering how it will be trying to write on it when the time comes. Probably a felt-tip writer will work the best. If you have any ideas, let me know.

Stampin' Up! Always in My Heart Anniversary Card
The colors are Gorgeous Grape and Fresh Freesia. The stamp set is Always in My Heart and the dies are the Floral Heart Dies. I had to blow off the dust on both but they're still in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog!

Stampin' Up! Daisy Lane Special Moments Fun Fold
Good Tuesday morning, my friends! I started my day watching a video by Linda Bauwin for this fun fold. She calls it a double opening fun fold. Here's why...

Stampin' Up! Friendly Hello Birthday Card
Good Monday Morning Makeover! Today I CASE'd my team leader's card. You can see Amy's card here.
My card base is Basic White Thick cardstock. I cut a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel of Friendly Hello DSP (Sale-a-Bration item) and glued it to the front of the card.
Next I cut a piece of Pattern Party DSP with the second to largest die from the Scalloped Contours Dies. While I had that die out, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the bird from the Friendly Hello Photopolymer Stamp Set (also a Sale-a-Bration item) in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it in with Light and Dark Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends, Dark Gray for the branch and Light Pale Papaya for the flowers. I took the dotted stamp from Friendly Hello and stamped it 5 times to add a little more interest.
Now, if I had been paying more attention to the Tic Tac Toe Challenge TTTC145, I would have had 2 TTT's. But, alas, I used a smaller die from the Scalloped Contours for my sentiment instead of an oval. But, I did get a TTT diagonally from the upper right to the lower left. Thank you, Claire, for a great board!
For the inside, I cut two more scalloped panels and added a sentiment I had in my stash. It's from the Many Messages Cling Stamp Set, which has a matching die. I adhered it with Black Stampin' Dimensionals.
I'm also playing at Die Cut Divas - Flowers, and 2 Crafty Critter Crazy Challenge #58 - Anything Goes with a Featured Creature.
Thanks for stopping by today.

Stampin' Up! Giggle Greetings
Today's card is another we made at our Thursday card group. Sue L. provided the kit and had the papers pretty much die cut for us. I have no idea what company the patterned paper is from but I do know the stamp set is the retired Giggle Greetings.
It's called a "Diagonal Cut Fun Fold". I made a similar card four years ago and this is one of my least favorite fun folds because it can't stand on it's own. I figured out how to make it work but I never said how in my post! I looked at my photos and it was clear as mud...lol! Here's a link to a video I just found showing how to create the fun fold!
Have a blessed day.

Stampin' Up! Bring on the Cake Birthday Card
Good Saturday morning, peeps! Thursday our card group got together to celebrate two birthdays. We created a pull tab flip card fun fold using retired stamp sets. Sue M. provided the kit using instructions from Tami White. However, I had a problem with mine so when I got home, I watched Dawn Griffith make the card and finished it up. Here's how my card turned out...
We used the Bring on the Cake and Big Day Stampin Up! Stamp Sets. Did someone mention "bring on the cake"? Okay, here it is. It was a cannoli cake that Sue got from Publix.
Now that you have finished salivating, back to the card to see what happens when you pull the tab...
and when you open the main part of the card...
I'm entering my card at:
Creative Creases #24 Anything with a Fun Fold
Allsorts Week 660 For a Child and
Seize the Birthday #230 Anything Goes with the optional topping of Embossing, which I did not do!
Thank you for stopping by today and have a great rest of your weekend.

Stampin' Up Love & Happiness Anniversary Card
Well, I'm back from Disney and happy to be home! Today's card was supposed to be yesterday's card for the Happy Inkin' Blog Hop but Blogger wouldn't cooperate with the permalink. Since I was traveling, I chose to drop out rather than deal with it and mess up the hop!

Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin December 2021 Get Well Card
Happy Tuesday, peeps! I had a fun day at Epcot yesterday...so much so that I switched my park reservation from Hollywood Studios to Epcot for today! I only managed to walk 4.33 miles and I usually walk 8. I'll see if I can do better today. Speaking of doing better, take a look at my punny card for today.
I brought the kit with me but forgot there was no block to stamp with so I used the TV remote. Obviously, I couldn't see to get it straight!
For the inside, I decided to try using the stamp packet and that worked better because it was clear!
Thank you for stopping by today and I hope to make another card for tomorrow. Thursday is our Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop and I'm all set for that.

Stampin' Up! Birthday Golf Card
Good Monday Morning Makeover Madness, peeps! Yesterday I showed you the card I won from the DIY Diva. This is her card...
and this is what I created with the card kit I also won...
The card base is Gray Granite cardstock, 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 4 1/4" and 5 1/2". This is the book binding fun fold. There are tons of videos out there on how to create this and it is very simple to make. Leticia had cut all the pieces for the card (with the exception of the Happy Birthday). I just made some minor adjustments except for the base where I used my own cardstock rather than the one she included as hers was already cut and folded but going the wrong direction for my idea.
On the book binder edge, I adhered a strip of Beauty of the Earth DSP as a mat from another pattern from Beauty of the Earth. I stamped the "happy" from the retired Vertical Greetings Stamp Set in Night of Navy. I added three Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
For the book part, I adhered a 4" x 4" piece of Beauty of the Earth. Leticia had already cut the trees with the Beautiful Trees Dies. I adhered them with liquid glue to the front. With the green strip, I used a die from Basic Borders to create the hill. I adhered a scrap of Night of Navy to a piece of Adhesive Foam and cut out the Happy Birthday from the Birthday Chick Dies and adhered it to the front. Card front done!
For the inside...
I cut her panel, that she included, down to 4" x 4" and adhered part of a strip included in the kit. That paper is also from Beauty of the Earth.
