All My Love You....Make Me Happy

Hello and welcome to my blog.  Today, I am going to share with you a card showcasing the All my Love Designer Series Paper; which is in the 2019 Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog or as some refer to as the Spring/Summer Catalog.  This beautiful designer series paper can be used for so much more than just Valentine's Day!  With its classic color combinations and the hearts and floral patterns you could use it for any romantic occasion or event.  Here's a look at all the patterns in this wonderfully romantic pack.

So you can see what all the wonderful imagery how you could create projects not just for Valentine's Day but for any love filled day of the year.   

I just love the mix of floral patterns and the hearts.  Not even to mention that some of the hearts have flowers in them.  I can see this pack being used for Valentines, Spring Weddings, Anniversaries, Birthdays, and so much more.  I know I said that before but I felt like it needed a little more attention.  Because I don't want you looking over this pack of romantically colored designer series paper and it be gone and you start saying I wished I would have gotten that pack.  If you don't get it before it's gone its your own fault.  I am just going to tell you I told you to get it before it was to late.  I spent a whole week showcasing it, telling you great and wonderful it was and told you to pick it up in my online store.  I am sorry if you missed it but I told you so.  That will be my response so just know that that's what will be said if you message me and say I wished I had gotten it.  I am just saying.  

This is probably one of my favorite cards using this pack of designer series paper.  You may be asking yourself why?  Well, it showcases as much of the designer series paper as I possibly could.  

Sizes & Dimensions: 

• The card base is made from Flirty Flamingo Cardstock that was cut at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2
• 1st layer of DSP is cut at 4 x 5 1/4
• The third layer, which is made of whisper white cardstock and features the most wonderful stitched scalloped edge is 3 9/16 x 5 (after it was cut using the edgelet).  I started out with a piece that was 3 3/4 x 5.  
• The crumb cake mat is 1 3/4 x 5 
• and the last layer of DSP was cut at 1 9/16 x 5. 
• The Whisper white & lovely lipstick hearts where all cut from scrap pieces of cardstock.  Use what you have up before you cut into that new piece of cardstock; right!  

Okay I don't know what's up with the 16ths today I am just going to go ahead and apologize now.  Sorry everyone!  

So that's my card for today, I hope that you like it and that you don't forget to get a pack of this wonderful designer series paper before its gone.  If you don't you know what I am going to say right.

Meant to Be Home Decor

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you this cute little home decor piece that I made for my sister back at Christmas.  She got married a year ago and I wanted to create a piece that she and her new husband could have around their house.  I used the products from the All My Love Suite to create this cute little piece.  Here's a picture of the framed piece of art.

In the photo (that I swiped from here Facebook page and had printed at CVS) is of her, her new husband Robert, and their daughter.  I created a video tutorial of how I created this piece.  I picked up the frame from Walmart.

A Ribbon Slider Card for #PCC325

Hello and welcome to my blog.  It's Wednesday and that means that it's time for this weeks Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge.  This week we have a really fun card sketch for you, I will share the sketch in just a few minutes.  For my card I created a couple different ribbon slider cards for you to view.  I saw this technique done a few weeks back and had to give it a try and it was perfect to show case my featured product of the week (the All my Love Designer Series Paper).  Here's a look at all three ribbon slider cards that I created.  

Here's a look at this weeks sketch.  You can click on the image below to visit the Paper Craft Crew site to see what the other design team members created.  If you are viewing this post before 5:30 am you will have to check back then to view what the other designers came up with.  

Tips & Tricks:  

You would think just from looking at these cards that it would be really hard to create but you couldn't be any more wrong.  It is really easy.  You will need a half sheet of cardstock; I used cardstock from the All My Love Cardstock pack for the Valentine card and Night of Navy for the Happy Tail Card.  Once you have your cardstock you will need a piece of 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 and then scored at a 1/4" on one side.  On the opposite side where you will cut off about 1/4".  Then flip it to the long side and cut off a 1/4".  You will use tear & tape to put the card base together to make a pocket.  If this is confusing you can watch the video below to see exactly how to put it together.  

The ribbon slider cards will fit into a standard medium A2 size Envelope, so don't worry about having to make anything special to hold it.  Once you have the pocket created all you have to do is create the insert.  Place it inside the pocket and use a ruler to make a mark the center of the card about 1" down from the top.  Punch a hole through the pocket and the insert.  Flip the insert where the holes will line up together.  This is where you will add the ribbon.  Tie your bow.  Add your stamped images or designer series paper making sure to leave the top of the front open to let the ribbon move freely (see the video for details).
