My card today is called a Telescoping card. It folds up to look like my first picture but then opens up as shown below.
I had a difficult time getting a good picture of the card opened up. Perhaps it is just too late at night and it would have been better with sunlight. Oh well, I wanted to post tonight so hopefully you can still see it well enough. This was my first try at this type of card. I made a few more and I will show them later in the week. We will be making this type of card at my two Hostess Clubs this week!
Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look!!

Today I have another Gated Fold Card for you. It uses the new Polka Dot Parade DSP. Another variation of this card would be to put a belly band around it with the sentiment attached to it.
Can you believe that it is almost September??? My first grandchild, a girl, is due on September 23rd. I’ve NEVER been more excited for the month of September!!!
Thank you for stopping by!!

Yesterday I posted a Triple Time Stamping card using Elegant Eggplant and Perfect Plum. My card today uses Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive. If you haven’t yet given this technique a try, maybe today is the day!!!????
Take Care,

Back in June I learned about the Triple Time Stamping Technique from Dawn Olchefske on her blog. I made this card some time ago but forgot to post it. If you would like to learn how to make this card, you can see a video on Dawn’s site here. It is VERY simple to put together and it looks much harder than it really is! I used Elegant Eggplant and Perfect Plum. Give it a try!
Thank you for stopping by today!!

Yesterday I showed you a card that I received at Convention. I loved it so much that I created my own version, also using Floral District DSP. The card yesterday was a 3×3 card but my card is a regular sized one. Actually, since I had never done this particular fold before, I thought it would be easier to try it in the larger size.

Here’s another card I received at Convention. I love it! It is a Gated Fold card and it was made by Susan Barron. I love what she did on the inside as well. It uses the Floral District DSP. Tomorrow I will share a card I made using this fold.

My card today is made using the Dahlia fold. I’ve shown cards on my blog before using this technique and it is one that I really, really like. It is fun to try it with the different papers that Stampin’ Up! carries. This one uses the Floral District pack which is currently my very favorite! Tomorrow I’ll show you a card using another paper in this pack!

My card today is one that I received at Convention from Karen Perry. I think it is so pretty. The bottom photo shows what she has on the inside. When I get the chance, I’d like to recreate this beautiful card using different colors/paper!

My card today was inspired by a card I received from Dawn Griffith, my upline, at Convention. She was also a presenter and showed us how to make this card in Salt Lake City. You can see one of her cards (as well as a video) using this technique,
here. If you have scraps of ribbon sitting around, you will want to give this a try or even if you don’t. I didn’t have a stash of scraps so I just grabbed some ribbon that appealed to me.
Speaking of videos, I’ve been working on making a video. Well, not A video but I’ve been teaching myself the ins and out of making one. Just trying to figure out how to set up the camera on the tripod and then editing it certainly takes time. So, one of these days I will present my first of many videos, I hope.

It’s funny how a card can come to be. Yesterday I sat down at my craft table and I wasn’t really sure what I was going to make. I looked around the table and saw a few bits and pieces from my crafting last week. Last week I showed you a purse card with a Melon Mambo embossed flower. I had also tried making one on Daffodil Delight cardstock but I didn’t really like it for the purse card. I had also tried embossing a piece from the set A Fitting Occasion. I used white embossing powder on Gumball Green (my new favorite color) but I put it aside because it just didn’t really go with my card. So I started playing around with these two pieces and Voila!, my card was created. I also used the CUTE new scallop circle punch (#127811).
The Idea Book & Catalog is a great place to go for inspiration. My original inspiration for the embossed green Modern Label piece came from a picture on page 100 of the catalog. From there my creativity went forward! Give it a try, look through the catalog and see where it leads you!
