Fun Fold Friday- Island Vibes Sale-a-bration Card

Fun Fold Friday with this Sale-a-bration Island Vibes stamp set to create this tropical pineapple card! 

This card is pretty basic. No dies. No punches. But I did use some embellishments to help make it fancy with very little effort. 

This is the inside of the card, where I left it blank, but you could add any saying to complete this card. I'll leave mine blank until I find the perfect person to send it to and can customize it then. 

You can make this card too, but Sale-a-bration ends soon, like February 28th soon!!!

Wonderful Wednesday- Flowering Tulips

It is Wonderful Wednesday! That means that when you order from me today I'll send you the Wonderful Wednesday gift! For the month of February it was the Faux Sea Glass, but that was so popular that it has sold out! So, I'll send you the Brushed Brass Butterflies instead! 

Just order use the Hostess Code WJA7FYAW at my online store

I made this card using the Flowering Tulips Bundle! I CASED this card from the Stamp Therapist from Pinterest. Tulips are my all time favorite flower!!! This bundle has dies for you to build your own tulips and stamps to create flowers with ink and paper. 

Here is a sample of the stamped tulips that I put inside the card. 

There are a lot of Tulip Dies and may seem overwhelming on how to build your tulips. Here are the dies and papers I cut out to create mine. Be sure to watch the video to see how I put each one together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Glue Dots. 

This card is truly beautiful and I hope you give it a try!

Tuesday's Tip at Ten: Dimensional Level

 

Tuesday's Tip at Ten is to create your own level using a dimensional sheet!

When creating a card that has panels or squares all in a row you want to keep them straight! Right?!

All I did to make all these cards was attached one square with dimensionals. Then placed the dimensional sheet underneath that (I flip the sheet facing down). I use the straight edge to help line up the next one and the next one. I tried using a piece of paper but since my squares are on dimensionals I needed something the same height to help me level it out. 

That's my tip for you today and I hope it helps you keep your projects straight! 

*You can see how I made this card on my Miss Monday Post by clicking here!

Miss Monday- Waves of Inspiration Birthday Card

 

Miss Monday card with another card made using an Early Release Stamp set and special promotion only Designer Series Paper. Both of these items are available now for Demonstrators as a pre-order and are available to everyone March 1st. The Designer Series Paper is only available until *May 1st. 

I know waves are not traditionally pink, but I just LOVE this monotone card and how girly it looks using Calypso Coral.

Don't forget to stamp the inside with this cute pelican on his perch! 

I live in Southern California and run by the ocean all the time where I see and hear the powerful waves. So I knew I HAD to get this stamp set because it is near and dear to my heart. 

It is hard to see in a photo, but I did "splash" on some wink of stella to create water splats of glitter at random! These cards were made for an upcoming swap and I can't wait to share all the creations I get from that event!
