Pop Up Triple Easel Card

 This card was inspired by Lisa Curcio (Lisa's Stamp Studio)  in her March 11 Premier Tutorial for fun-fold Pop Up Easel Cards.  Tip:  Watch the cutting dimensions on the card base carefully.
I used papers from the Simon Says Stamp March Cardmaking Kit, and graphics from Watercolor Easter Day Bunnies clipart by Creative Fabrica AI artists











Second card, created with the same paper options, and Laurie Furnell spring gnomes

Fun with Stampin Up

 A fun three project workshop led by Dian Minor Stampin Up Demonstrator in Mesquite today produced a darling Hershey Kiss Wrapper, a pretty "It's a Good day-To Have a Good Day" general greeting card, and a pretty birthday card with a pocket.

The little peeking around the corner rabbit is from my stash but the rest of the papers and greetings and ephemera are  SU products.

A special Valentine


 Inspired by Lisa Curcio's "Faux Shutter Card", and a card we made in Diane Minor's Stampin Up  February workshop. I used the penny Black "Line of Hearts Die" and an old "I heart you" SU Dies.  This uses the "Most Adored" DP

This is the second project  Valentine we created at Diane Minor's Stampin Up workshop.  It's a double card flip out.  I will use this design often.... SO versatile. These papers and hearts are all Stampin Up products in their Bee Mine designer paper collection and in the "Adoring Hearts " Embossing folder and sampset combo.  The Adoring Hearts cutting and double embossing folder is a great product with  a great technique, and SO many possibilities.

Let it BEE Tablet Folio

 



I used " Let It Bee" Graphic 45 papers for this  paper tablet pocket folio.
This takes a thick 5x7 Paper tablet which is removable and replaceable.
Revisit this post: from August 2023 "Tablet-Folios-Revisited.  This design is inspired
by Michelle Allen of  "A Creative Operation"
There are so many ways (and sizes of tablets for this quick gift project)  I always
tuck a "flat pen--or a small pencil in the inside pocket.
Flat pen instructions can be found at "Scrapbooking with Me"
The gnome is from one of many in my sunflowers and gnome folder, original designer unknown

For Dottie's 93rd Birthday

 

My Father's niece, Dottie, will be 93 on February 9th.
When she was six years old she was flower girl at my parent's wedding.
I used a beautiful Floral Music Notes from Night Canvas Studio's Etsy's shop

The inside sentiment reads
Hoping your 93rd birthday, like your
lifetime, Dottie, is full of love from family and
friends, unbridled joy, unforgettable moments
and, ultimately, happy, wonderful memories.
May you only know the joy, peace and health
that comes with a life well lived.

The Snowmen Money Holders

 



Haven't made these snowman money holders (or gift card holders)  in several years. They're done with the TOP NOTE Bigz die and strips of paper and wiggly eyes.
