Fun Fold Friday- Sweet Peas Window Card

 

I love a stamp set with a good pun and Sweet Peas is FULL of them. 

"Hello, GrumPEA"

"Welcome Sweet Pea"

"HapPEA Birthday"

"You make me HaPEA"

I made a Baby Card and Birthday card with these sayings, but you could make anything with this Fun Fold Layout inspired by Karen Titus. 

Baby Peas

These "sweet peas" are all snuggled together and make a great baby shower card for either gender. 

I colored them with my Stampin' Blends and fussy cut them out. Then popped them up with dimensionals. 

Once you open the card, you have another spot to open (made out of DSP) with the matching saying. 

Party Peas

The window is created with the Deckled Circle Dies but you could use the 2 3/8" Circle Punch as well. 

These peas truly look happy and ready to party!

I used the Deckled Circle from the cardbase for the inside for the stamped greeting. Give this a card a try by shopping from my online store.

If you LOVE this stamp set as much as I do, you should join my Card Class Club for June! You'll make 8 eights with 4 designs with this set!

Tuesday's Tip at Ten- Paper Saving Tips

 

One of my greatest tips on saving money when making cards is to not waste paper. If the paper is going to be part of a layer, find ways to use the middle. 

To create my Simple Adventurous Sky card (click HERE to see tutorial on that), I used my matte to die cut the other Basic White pieces. I am just always careful to give myself that outer edge space that will be showing, left untouched! I massed produced this card for a swap. I literally save a whole sheet of cardstock, which in the long run, adds up! 

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!

Manly Monday- Simple Adventurous Sky Card

 

Manly Monday with this Simple Adventurous Sky Card! 

This card was inspired by a Pinterest find. I changed up the colors a little but LOVE the look of the Perineal Postage Dies clustered today. 

I made this card for a team swap! So I made 12 of these "simple" layout. 

I used the Take To The Sky Paper, but any Designer Series Paper (DSP), would work.

I used liquid glue to attach the DSP to the square postage die cut and then glued it to the cardbase. I popped up the greeting with dimensionals.

2. Die cut 6 Basic White postage squares (use the matte to cut out 4 of them, and cut out the label piece). 
3. Stamp onto the Basic White rectangle the greeting in Misty Moonlight. 
4. Glue the DSP to the Basic White matte. Glue that to the cardbase. Glue the DSP squares to the postage squares and line them up on the DSP. Attach the stamped greeting with dimensionals.
