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! Monday Makeover Madness

Good Monday morning and welcome to the Madness. First I hope all of you who are mothers in one way or another had a great day yesterday. My son-in-love cooked dinner for his mother and me. Second, I needed another anniversary card and I decided to makeover this one because the couple has two dogs. If she had her way, they'd have two cats as well! Take a look see at my MMM...

Stampin' Up! Nine Lives Anniversary Card

Good morning my stamping friends. Today I've decided to enter some challenges with my card. Crafting Happiness and Show Us Your Pussycats involve animals/cats and mine fits the bill. Take a look see...

I'm also playing at Pammie's Inky Pinkies. My daughter and son-in-love have an upcoming 11 year wedding anniversary and they had a black cat named Luey. We all miss him so much. He was one of the nicest cats you'd ever want to meet. His sister is a Callico but I couldn't figure out how to represent her so I just punched out another black cat. If you have any ideas on how to make a Callico cat, let me know. TIA.

For the inside... 

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you'll check out the challenges.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Joy Fold

It's a marvelous Monday if you are reading this and I thank you for visiting! You will be seeing a lot of this fun fold because I absolutely fell in love with it when I received the fold as a belated birthday card. So I carefully measured each piece and CASE'd Barb's card. Take a look see at mine... 

 

and here's Barb's...

 my inside...

 and Barb's inside... 

 

I have a lengthy message to write inside so I left it plain.

If you would like to create it, here are the deets I put together...

Card Base - colored card stock - 6 1/2" x 5 1/2", score on long side at 2 1/4"

• Inside Base - White mat - 4" x 5 1/4"     DSP - 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" 
• Front Flap - White mat - 2" x 5 1/4"       DSP - 1 7/8" x 5 1/8"

Joy Fold Base - colored card stock - 3 5/8" x 5", score on long side at 2 1/2" 

• Inside white mat - 2 1/4" x 3 3/8"
• Outside white mat - 2 3/8" x 3 3/8"
• DSP - 3 1/8" x 2 1/8"

Corner triangle - DSP 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" cut on diagonal. 

  

The butterfly is stamped on scrap white with Highland Heather ink and edged with matching Blend. I have no idea where the butterfly stamp is from as it had no name on it, neither did the die.

 

I hope you have a blessed week and that you'll be back tomorrow for our demos fun fold hop.

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 #103. We'd love to see your fun fold creation. Here's a snapshot of mine...

                           

    

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

 

I was inspired by Karen Titus and you can watch her create this fun fold here. I created this over a month ago and she has a Project Sheet that I printed out so you can too! But, in the meantime, here are my instructions and the product I used is listed in the chart below.

Here it is with the front opened...

I left the inside blank for when I decide what occasion will call it into action or to write a note.

Cardstock and Designer Series Paper:

Basic White: 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2"

Balmy Blue: 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"

DSP: 6" x 6" 

Score the DSP at 1 3/8" on each side and cut out the outside corners.

Cut the four flaps diagonally from top right to bottom left corner going in a clockwise motion. Tuck in the flaps.

Position ephemera in the center, adhere with Dimensionals and adhere pinwheel to Balmy Blue cardstock. Adhere that to card base.

Stamp sentiment on scrap of DSP in Early Espresso and fussy cut.

Sponge fence with Early Espresso ink. Adhere to card base with liquid glue.

Adhere sentiment with Dimensionals.

Add more ephemera and Brushed Brass Butterfly.

Stampin' Up! Otterly Amazing Birthday Card for the SU Demos Monthly Fun Fold Hop

Hello my FB peeps! 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 was inspired by Susan Campfield. I cut a piece of Pretty Peacock Cardstock (5 1/2" x 4 1/4"). Next I cut a layer of Summer Splash Cardstock 5 1/4" x 4" and a layer of Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper 5" x 3 7/8" (available to customers 11/5/24) and adhered them together.

For the left flap, I cut a piece of Summer Splash 4" x 3 1/2" and scored it at 3 1/2" on the 4" side. For the right flap, I cut another piece 3" x 3 1/2" and scored it at 3" on the 3 1/2" side. I put Tear & Tape on each scored tab and adhered it to the cardstock/DSP panel and adhered that to the card base.

The DSP pieces that cover the left and right flaps measure 3 3/8" x 3 3/8" and 2 7/8" x 2 7/8", respectively. Before I adhered the left side piece, I stamped the sentiment from Otterly Amazing (11/5) in Early Espresso but it looks like Garden Green to me! I added three Riverside Irregular Pearls (11/5) and called it done!

For the inside...

I cut a piece of Basic White (5" x 2 7/8") and adhered it to a piece of DSP measuring 5 1/4" x 4". The sentiments are from the Charming Duck Pond Stamp Set. The otter is from the retired Awesome Otters Stamp Set.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you will hop along with the list of demos. I also hope to see you Thursday for our Happy Inkin' Thursday weekly blog hop.

Stampin' Up! Pampered Pets Thank You Card

Good afternoon, peeps! I'm a little late with my post today because I forgot I was doing a Monday Makeover for this card.

Here's the makeover card I created to give my vet for going above and beyond with my Chester. 

I used the Pampered Pets Stamp Set (images), Thoughtful Branches (sentiment), Playful Pets Designer Series Paper and Stitched Shapes Dies to create my card. All are retired. I cropped the inside as I had started to write to Dr. Kara and staff and then realized I hadn't taken a photo yet.

I have a beautiful box for his ashes from the crematory as their gift to me. His cremation was done gratis and I could have had his paw print cast but his paw print is forever on my heart. I will show you the box on Wednesday along with cards I have received from friends and teammates. I hope you'll return and I thank you for stopping by today.
