Reindeer Fun Fun Fold

 I am having so much fun playing with the Reindeer Fun bundle and Reindeer Days suite.  This is such a classic Christmas set and is perfect for those of all ages.  I made this super cute fun fold card.  Which do you prefer?

Red


or green



I like them both, but I think on the green one I should have put the sentiment at the bottom as the reindeer are much taller than on the red one.  Guess the will need to wait for the next card.

Playful Ghosts - Super cute Halloween card

 Are you a halloween junkie? I am not, but I have a lot of friends that are.  I don't send a lot of Halloween cards, but I do a few to those that really love the holiday. For me, I think it is great to see the neighbourhood connecting and the cute and excited kids in the neighbourhood.  Any way, I decided to make a halloween card as I do need to send a few!  This card features the Playful Ghosts Stamp set.  Aren't the images just adorable!



I used the foliage from the Citrus Blooms Dies and the banner from the Stylish Shapes dies.  I stamped the images in memento ink and coloured with blends (pumpkins were Pumpkin Pie blends and Peach Pie blends, hat was Highland Heather blends and Basic Black Blends and the broom was Crumb Cake Blends with Pecan Pie blends.  The top of the pumpkins I used Granny Apple Green.  I used my blending brushes to create a background with Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Highland Heather ink where I stamped some bats in Memento.  Don't these ghosts just bring a smile to your face!!

Want to watch the video of how I made this? Check it out here.

Changing Leaves Super Easy card

 Hello, can you believe it is September and the leaves are changing.  Where has the time gone? I thought I would share the card I made for the Stamping Symphony instahop that goes live on the 15th of September.  The theme was fall and a colour challenge.  I managed to use a few of the colours from the challenge


What do you think?





I was happy to have the subtle Pumpkin Pie in the large leaf, but with help during my life I went out of my comfort zone and added a pop of Pumpkin Pie instead.  Does it work?


Make sure you visit my instagram at @stampingwithjen and check out the other lovely ladies posts in this colour challenge

Hot Air Balloons - Simple Fun Fold Card

 Hello! How are you tonight? I have quite a bit of 6X6 designer series paper (DSP) and when I saw Karen Titus' video on how to use a 6X6 DSP to make a super easy fun fold card, I had to try it with the Hot Air Balloon suite.  This is in the 2024 Jan to April Mini and it is GORGEOUS!  Which card do you prefer?




Same design, same products, just a different colour combination.  There are so many colours you could choose based on the gorgeous DSP.

To make this card, simply pick a coordinating cardstock and cut it to 5 1/2 by 5 1/2, score at 4 1/4.

Then take a piece of DSP, cut 3/4 off the bottom.  Cut a piece at 4 X 5 1/4 and then two pieces at 1 X 5 1/4 . Using these pieces, with the card stock and a piece of basic white measuring 51/4 X 4, glue your card together (watch the video to see how simple this is).

Embellish with die cuts or stamps and VOILA you are done!

The inside is very simple


A complete list of supplies to make this card are provided below.  Also make sure you watch my video to see how easy it is.

I am offering a card class to go featuring this stamp set.  Registration closes very soon.  Check it out here


I hope you enjoyed this super easy card!  Thanks for joining me.  Have an amazing day.

Jen
