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.
Thank you for stopping by!

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!
Thank you for stopping by!

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).
While supplies last, there are FOUR different packs of Stampin’ Up! fabric on sale NOW for 99 cents!! You can’t beat that price! Shop NOW in my online store!
I had several requests to post the measurements/directions for the Purse Card I posted yesterday so I decided to do a picture tutorial. It’s my first one, so here goes!!!
I used Midnight Muse for the base of my card which I cut at 4 1/2 x 11 and scored at 4 ¾, 5 ½, and 6 ¼ . Fold on the 5 1/2 score line and fold the other two score lines in the opposite way (mountain fold and two valley folds).
Today’s card is a “purse” that you could use to place a gift card or small card. I used only one of our cellophane bags but you could very easily add another one to the opposite side and place a card in it. Or you could put a card in the envelope and use a glue dot to adhere a gift card to the opposite side directly onto the cardstock. There are so many different options!
I used a technique on my flower and leaves that I saw the Stampin’ Up! co-founder, Shelli Gardner demonstrate at Convention. I used the large flower from the stamp set Betsy’s Blossoms. I inked it up with Versamark onto Melon Mambo, Midnight Muse and Gumball Green cardstock. Then I sprinkled clear embossing powder over it. Using our new heat gun, it magically transformed my flower image! I then used the Blossom Punch, new 1 1/4 inch Scallop Circle punch and the Blossoms Builder Punch and cut out my shapes. Each one has the design from the stamp and in person it is very shiny. I love the effect! My sentiment was cut out with the new Bitty Banners Framelits.

I don’t have a card for you today as I am still out of town. Yesterday my daughter, Erin, and I went to a baby shower thrown for her by her sister-in-law. There were so many nice touches and we had a great time!

Today was a travel day for me. I hopped on another plane to visit my daughter and son-in-law. This Sunday my daughter is having another baby shower and I am so happy that I can be a part of it!
My picture today is another convention photo. It is a very cute card using our new dahlias! I saw some other ideas using these little flowers and can’t wait to play with them once I am back home.
Thank you for stopping by!

I LOVE this card!! I found it on Kelly Acheson’s blog and pretty much copied it exactly as she had it. It is just so stinkin’ adorable. I used the set Baby Bundle. Dimensionals were used to make the first drawer look like it’s open. The only time-consuming part is cutting out the little pieces but that didn’t really take very long. One of these days I will have to try making it in blue!
