Today's Fun Fold using the Wonderful World Stamp Set and Designer Series Paper from the Summer Sale-a-bration. You get both of them for FREE when you order $100 worth from my online store!
Here is the inside of the card, which tells the secrets on how this card is made. The stamping I did inside does not have to be included, I just wanted to share how the stamped image looked.
I left this card blank so it can be used for any occasion. I think it would make a lovely thank you card for my monthly shoppers! Everyone who orders from me gets a hand stamped card with some DSP to add to their collection.

Demo Swap Cards! These cards were made from a group of Stampin' UP! Independent Demonstrators who are mostly Hobby Demos (demos you order their favorites at a discount but don't sale to others). These stampers are super talented and I hope you enjoy their creations and are inspired!
Each time we swap we have a theme or have to use at least two colors from the list. Here were July's requirements, "Our color challenge is to use at least 2 of the following colors: Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Sweet Sorbet. (We tried to pick some summery colors!) Use anything from the new Annual Catalog."
This card is exactly really simple. No embellishments and just nice layers. But the really cool part is how I made the birds.
In the kit you get a sheets of dies. Using the "negative" of the die cuts I was able to create more birds. This method could work for any shape from the sheet. I even made one with the bottle (see video).
The main importance with this one is the "masking". Covering up spots you don't want to have ink on it. You can make this card too or even make your own masks when you die cut or punch out paper.

This card I made for the Queen's July Swaps and so I always try to mass produce in batches. I stamped all the die cut images onto one sheet all at the same time and then die cut them out all at the same time. It helps it go faster when making lots of cards.
This sending hugs card would be great for someone who is sick or to send to someone who has a loved one that has passed away.
You can make this card too when you shop from my online store and follow the steps below.
