TBT: Serendipity Stamps Heart Scroll Card

July 17, 2014July 17, 2014Leave a comment

This morning I was going through my Pinterest Made by Me Board and changing the

web address on several of my old pins.

The Heart Scroll Card was one of my first pins from a few years ago and I thought I’d share again.

The card uses the Heart Scroll Stamp from Serendipity Stamps.

The heart image was embossed with white embossing powder and shaded after embossed

with pink ink. Simple and Elegant.

Serendipity Stamps also has a thin metal die that matches the heart stamp.

If you’re a stamper and you’ve never checked out their stamps and dies you really should.

A great company to work with. www.serendipitystamps.com.

As an addition to yesterday’s post.

I thought I’d share the card I made using the rest of the Fancy Send it Clear Card Kit from Clear Scraps.

The Paper is from the “Americana” collection from Pebbles Inc.

This project was created for and sponsored by Clear Scraps.

Just a quick share today. (waiting on paint to dry on another project)

Here are a couple more projects that I made for The Paper Forest Design Team

using Kaisercraft’s Dream Big Collection. (Inside it says: anything is possible)

I’m really loving the color softness of this collection.

This card could be using for a Graduation, Retirement, New Job…

Why give a boring candle when you can make one over with a few left-over scraps of paper?

It’s Memorial Day, the official start of summer.

The cover has come off the pool and we’re ready to put Winter far behind us.

Time for Baseball, Relaxing and Fun in the Pool.

This stamp image from Serendipity Stamps has always reminded me of my grandson Nicholas.

The long-awaited new sod has finally been laid at Nick’s new house.

Nicholas got in trouble the other day because he couldn’t stay out of the sprinkler.

He’s three, I’m sure it was calling his name.

Let the fun begin…

Happy Memorial Day!

Learn How to make a Fabulous Card with Fancy Folds in just a few Simple Steps

May 22, 2014October 9, 201511 Comments

Want to learn how to make a fabulous looking card in a few simple steps? I learned this technique from the book

Fabulous Folds for Card Making*
Design by Lisa Silver

Punch 9 circles. (mine is a 2″ circle) I edged each circle with Butterscotch Ink.
Fold each circle into four sections. (lines on the above picture are to make it easier to view)
Fold in bottom curves to make point at the bottom. (do this with 8 of the circles)
Flip Circle and fold in sides so folds meet in center.
Arrange petals on remaining circle to make a total of eight petals.

I added a little gold flower button from Buttons Galore and More. FYI: If you happen to pick up the book, I’m on pages 148, 160 & 164

Quick and Easy Washi Tape Mother’s Day Card

May 7, 2014May 6, 2020Leave a comment

Mothers Day is just a few days away. Your Mom is expecting a special handmade card.

Here’s a Quick and Easy Mother’s Day card that you can make in minutes.

First, I’m assuming like any good paper crafter, you have washi tape on hand.

If not, there’s still time to run out and get some. (visit your local scrapbook store)

Here’s what you need to do:

Using your computer, print your Mother’s Day greeting on a piece of white cardstock. Make sure it prints approx. half way down the page.
Cut the white cardstock 1/4″ smaller than the size you want your card to be.
Then tear the washi tape into strips and alternate onto the white cardstock.
Adhere it to a cut and folded coordinating colored card that is 1/4″ larger than the white cardstock.

(My finished card is 4 1/2″ x 5″)

Voila! Now run out and get her a bouquet of fresh flowers from the grocery store and your done.

To my kids:

If you are reading this post, the supplies are on my desk.

Help yourself.

Love, Mom
