Make it Simple Monday-Pansy Party Suite

It's Monday again and time for a new template and a simple card.

My first card is made using items from the Pansy Petal Suite.

My next card was made for Memorial Day and as a way to remember those who have served our country and those are serving now.  My gratefulness goes out to all of you.

What is it Wednesday-Batter Up paper pumpkin week

What is it Wednesday?  Exploring the May paper pumpkin kit, Batter Up.

These first 3 cards were made exactly like the instructions showed me how to make them.

Once I made those 3 cards, then I had to get my creative juices flowing.  This next card was made using the template of the week.

I cut up some of the card fronts and the envelope flap to make this card.

When I first opened up my kit and saw the baseball bats, I immediately saw the work HI. Thus this card is the result.

For this next card I used last week's card of the week,the Lattice card.

For my final card so far, I recreated the club card of the week.  It is called the Double Z card.  It was fun to make.  Lots of steps, but easy to do if you take your time.

This is the cover after the card is tied up.  It will fit into a standard envelope.

The right side of the card looks like this and read 

YOU ARE THE GREATEST FRIEND OF ALL TIME

The left side reads

ALL STAR FRIEND YOU'RE IN A LEAGUE OF YOUR OWN

And this is what the entire card looks like spread out.  I plan to send it to a special friend who happens to like baseball,

I still have more parts and cards  to use for more card ideas.  

Check out this video where I show you what the new directions look like and make the 3 simple cards using the new directions.  Let me know what you think of them.  

 

If you decide to join or rejoin paper pumpkin, be sure and  list my name as your demonstrator if you do not already have one.

Tomorrow is Step it Up Thursday, so come back to see how I step up my two samples from Monday.

Step it up Thursday-Nothings Better Than

I had fun creating with this crazy template this week.  Did you try and make a card with it?

If you checked things out on Monday you saw my simple card.

Today I stepped it up first in a simple way.

1. I added designer paper that matched the color of each shape.

2. I popped up the saying and the cookie at the bottom.

Those changes made the card look really different.

My final stepped up card had lots of additional changes.

1. I added designer paper to the background.  It matched the Basic Gray and was from the Neutral pack.

2. I switched the designer papers from the shapes so they did not match the card stock.

3. I popped up each one of the shapes.

4. I added Shimmery White Crystal Effects to the chocolate bits.

5. I colored the hearts with Dark Soft Suede so they looked like chocolate.

I had a great time making these  stepped up cards.  Try it  for yourself.

Cut it out Tuesday-Lattice card #60

Rain Rain go away! Little Susie wants to play! We have had and will have almost a week of rain.  Some of it is needed but it really interferes with my desire to take a walk or bike ride every day. At least I can stay inside and do some stamping.

This is the card of the week.  It uses strips of designer paper and is called the Lattice card.

Here is what you need to have cut out and ready to go on Friday when I share how to put the card together.

1. Card Base cut 5.5 x 8.5 and scored at 4.25

2. Cut 1.75 off the front flap of the card after it is folded.

3. Cut white strip 5.25 x 1.5.  Then mark every .75 inches on the long side top and bottom.

4. Cut 2 coordinating colors of designer paper in 12 inch long strips at .75 each. If using 6 x 6 paper then cut a total of 12 inch for each color.

5. Cut designer paper for the front 2.25 x 5.25

6. Coordinating card stock cut one piece 2 3/8 x 5 3/8 for front  and a second at 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 for the inside.

7. Cut a neutral piece that is 5.25 x 2.5 for inside

8. Cut a shape that a saying can fit inside and accent pieces.

Lots of pieces but they fit together quite easily.

 Here is my sample.  I used the So Cool paper pumpkin kit for my card.  Can you see how cute the lattice looks on the back layer of the card.

Get your supplies ready and join me on Friday when I will show you how to put this card together.  Facebook Live at 10:30 or Zoom at 6:30  Contact me if you will need the Zoom links.

Tomorrow I will share what it means to be a Super Snail. Check my video at 10:30.

Till then,

Happy Stamping,
