Cutest Crew Bundle - Too Cute for Words!

 I have just released my new class, and yup, it is the Cutest Crew.  Registration closes August 16th so don't wait! It is a class to go, check out on my blog for a link to the registration form.

For tonights video I decided to make two cards because they were soooooo easy to make.  These cards are not part of my class, but I wanted to show people taking the class how easy it is to make ADORABLE cards with this bundle

The first card we made is very simple.  Which colour combination do you prefer?

The second card is perfect for using up scraps. Watch my video to see how to make this one.  Do you prefer the rainbow or the red/orange combo?

I prefer the red/orange combo, but hindsight is 20/20 and I wish I had one more orange piece so I had a pattern of three colour combinations.  But I still like it.  And, come on, how cute are those dogs, cats and birds...Adorable!

Here is a You Tube video to see how to make the two cards.

Front Triple Panel Pop Out card featuring the Berry Botanical Vellum

 We did this card in our Stamping Symphony meeting as our make n take and it was such a fun card to make, I thought I would do another one for my live this week. Leena Girsa demonstrated this and she received it as a swap.  We aren't sure the original creator so can't give recognition for it.  But this is a fun one!

It is hard to see how the panels pop up, so I did a view looking down on the card.

And then a side view

This card is definetly one that will require additional postage and I highly recommend using two toned cardstock to reduce some of the bulk that our regular cardstock would have to the card.

What do you think of hte gorgeous vellum...it is still available while supplies last.

Check out my video here.  All the measurements are in provided in the video write up if you want to make this card.

Need a simple Masculine Card - Gears & Textures is for you

 I finally had time to play with the Gears & Textures set. Oh my, I can't wait for tomorrow so I can play again!  I always struggle with masculine cards, but not anymore.  This is so fun and easy to use.  

Which colour combination to you prefer?

Both DSP is from the Nature's Walk DSP, which is also perfect for masculine cards!  I like both.  We made the blue on my video, but essentially the products are the same

Double Vision Meets Waterside Retreat - Perfect Father's Day Card

 So, I have had fun with the double vision card.  I used the technique for my demonstration at our team gathering this past weekend with the Scenic Coast DSP, and wow..it worked so beautifully.  I decided to try it with the fish paper as my husband is an avid fisherman, and fathers day will be here before I know it.

What do you think?

There are two ways you can do this.  One, take one 5 1/4 X 4 DSP, cut it into 1/2 strips and raise every second strip with dimensionals.  Or, you can cut two pieces of DSP that are exactly the same to 5 1/4 X 4.  Keep one as your base and cut the other into 1/2 inch strips, using every second strip.  That is what I did as I like the look better than seeing cardstock peeking through but it is a lot of DSP used and wasted!

I cut the chair out of Peaceful Pine with the dies and used a blending brush to add some dimension to it.  The book I stamped on Basic White with memento and coloured with my blends (Crumb Cake and Mossy Meadow).  I used the textured notes dies and run it through twice to get a smaller rectangle for the sentiment.  With the Basic Essentials Twine, I wrapped it around the sentiment and attached a trinket.

For the inside, I kept it simple and just cut out a fish from the designer series paper.

Here is the card I made for our team event.  Same technique, just a different suite.
