Here is my favorite of all the cards! I am posting this now because I have made a video for this ‘type’ of card….Easel Card. The video is making this fold, but you can see a different card using this same fold! You can watch it on my Technique Tuesday video series!
Here is my Christmas version!
This card design is based on a card that I swapped with Linda Wiencek! Love the design, I did it a little different, I didn’t have everything she used. This is called an Easel Card. It is VERY sparkly in person!

Today I am sharing with you a Clean and Simple card. I have so much trouble keeping things simple, I always want to JAZZ them up. But this one is jazzy without adding more. At least I think so! You’ll have to tell me!
I LOVE the copper embossing powder, and I added some Copper thread. The dots are done in the Copper Powder, it’s hard to see that in this picture. AND I have found that Banners for You works well with other stamp sets!! I used the Happy Birthday from Birthday Banners. Since it is Photopolymer you can bend the stamp to fit the banner!!
Below my name is a list of all the supplies to make this card, just click on any picture to be sent to my OnLine Store! If you buy from my store I will send you a handmade card!
Until next time!

The theme this month is Gratitude! Here is my card:
This is a FUN card! I was inspired by BJ Peters, she used this idea but with Eastern Elegance, you can find her card here. I was thinking of other stamp sets from Stampin’ Up! that could be used with this idea of the front flap opening to reveal a sentiment. This is the set that I thought of! Once you pull back the flap, here is what you see:
The inside is a simple piece of cardstock:
What do you think? Like it? Here are the details so you can make it if you want!!
*********** Cardstock: Soft Suede 4 1/4″ X 9 3/4″ scored at 4 1/4″, flap is: 1 1/4″ x 9″ scored at 5 1/2″, front piece: 3 1/4″ sq., scrap for front sentiment on flap. Crumb Cake 4″ sq., 3 1/4″ sq. to stamp wreath on, cut with 3″ Stitched Circle Framelit. Gold Foil 3 1/2″ sq. under Soft Suede, and 1 1/2″ scallop circle from Circle thinlits.

The card I am sharing with you today is from the stamp set Hello Friend! I shared this card with you last time:
I, once again, looked in the Catalog for Inspiration! This is the image that struck me as something I wanted to try:
This is using the kit on page 16 & 17: Hello Friend Heat Embossing Project Kit. I don’t have the kit……….yet, but have the stamp set and wanted to give this a try. I DID have the Gold mini sequins! Those are just too stinkin’ cute!! I was giggling when I got them! It doesn’t take much (in the card making world) to make me happy!
I didn’t have the kit, but I loved the way the wreath looked on Crumb Cake, so I was using that. I wanted a lighter green (than pictured) so I used Wild Wasabi as my green. LOVE how the flowers are so white so I wanted to use Versamark and White Embossing Powder. Here is what my card looks like:
Isn’t it pretty? And not too many steps, sometimes simplicity is the best way to go!!
The sentiment is on Whisper White 1 3/4″ x 1 1/4″, then I used the Envelope Punch Board to round two opposite corners, to give a really pretty look! I popped this up with dimensions after putting some adhesive on the card in the middle of the Wreath and laid down the Gold Mini sequin ribbon. The ribbon is free to move on both ends, only the middle is stuck down.
The Gold Foil Paper is 5″ x 3 3/4″, but I cut around the inside edges to make a frame since you can’t see it and I didn’t want to waste any of it!! The top Crumb cake is 4 3/4″ x 3 1/2″.
Easy but definitely stunning! In person, it’s even better!!
I have blog candy that I’m giving away too! Here is what you can win:

I bought the new stamp set from Stampin’ Up! called Hello Friend because it looked like it would be a fun stamp set to use! I was NOT disappointed!
I went out on Pinterest to see what others have done with this set, and you know what? NOTHING was out there! So, what is a girl to do? I checked out the SU! catalog, that’s what I did! And you know what, they had the BEST idea in there! Here’s what they have:
This is using the Hello Friend Heat Embossing Project kit on page 17. I loved it, but of course had to make it my own. Plus, I don’t have the kit…….yet! You really should go take a look, you will love how easy and beautiful this kit is!
Here is mine:
Isn’t it beautiful!! And the idea came right out of the catalog!
Dimensions:
Flirty Flamingo 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″
Black 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
Watercolor Paper 5″ x 3 3/4″
I used Aqua Painters and the re-inkers for Flirty Flamingo and Peekaboo Peach.
I will have the items I used below, just click on the picture and it will take you straight to my Online Store!
I also have Blog Candy! The drawing is on July 4th! You just need to comment on any of my social media posts! Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or here on my blog, anywhere! EVERY comment counts!
Here is what you can win this time!
I LOVE Washi Tape!
I loved this card today, I hope you love it too! When you can’t come up with an idea, just look in the catalog! If you need a catalog, just let me know! I would be happy to send you one!

I was perusing Pinterest seeing what I could make, and I found a Z fold card by Karen Watts and loved her scene! Of course I had to start making my own! And being me, I HAD to add to what I saw on her card AND put in my NEW stamp sets that I just got from the NEW catalog by Stampin’ Up!
I wanted to use the Bike Ride, have the bike going along the beach, and since I had a beach I HAD (again) to use High Tide for the water! High Tide is the greatest stamp set for making water! And since I was using the water I also used the grass, birds on the beach and the birds that are flying! Birds!! For those that know me everytime I use the word/stamp birds, I think of Bambi and say it like Flower said it……..BIRD! 🙂
I also wanted to pull in Seasonal Layers with their Beach Chair! That is such a fun set! Ok, I admit it…….Stampin’ Up! has waaaaaaay too many cute sets! They are fun to play with and BOY they are great for making a story!
Here is my card closed:
Cute, right?!!
Here is the card partially open:
There’s the chair! And now open all the way:
I LOVE how it came out, don’t you!? Not sure what sentiment to put on, or if it needs one……what do you think? Sometimes when I send out my greeting cards, I don’t put a greeting on it, since I want to say what I want to say and let the card speak for itself! Do you ever do that?
The Deets:
Cardstock
Bermuda Bay: 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 8 1/4″, 1 1/2″ x 11, scored in the same places (when you put on card, the folds are opposite)
Whisper White: 5 1/4″ x 4″, 2 1/2″ x 4 (x’s 2), 5 1/4″ x 1 1/4″, 2 1/2″ x 1 1/4″ (xs 2) and scraps for stamping and chair.
I used a post it for the sun, JUST be sure and cut the circle in HALF before you sponge sun! LOL For some reason my mind couldn’t fathom that when I stamped the ocean that it would cover the circle….kind of hard when I didn’t take off the circle when I stamped the ocean OVER the circle! Let me tell you, for some reason (though I’ve done it before) it didn’t dawn on me to cut the circle in half since I was ONLY using half of it to mask the sun. Sheesh!! I’m sure I am the ONLY one that happens to!
Now, on to my Blog Candy!!
You can get in on the drawing by posting comments here on this blog (any post! or multiple posts!) or on my Facebook page and I will put your name down each and every time you comment! But be aware…..there are some that follow me that take that comment VERY seriously! I’ve had her comment on each and every post that I make and she also comments on my Facebook page, Twitter AND my Instagram! She’s one serious girl! YOU know who you are, and I appreciate you very much! 🙂
The moral of the story is if you REALLY want to win my Blog Candy comment on everything! I put the names into a Name Generator so I have NO say on who wins!
It’s Washi Tape!! These are from (lf – rt), Affectionately Yours and Botanical Gardens!! Yes, these can be yours! I am running this blog candy starting yesterday (since I said I would!) until July 4th! I think that is a great day to be giving something away for FREE! Celebrating our Freedom in a way!
Good Luck!
