Woohoo for You

As I’m writing this post, it is 5:00 pm and 108 degrees outside.  UGH.  It does get very hot where I live in California but we usually don’t hit three digits.   California is going through a severe drought and in my area we are only allowed to water our lawns twice a week.  Our beautiful lawn isn’t faring very well and this extremely hot weather isn’t helping. Tomorrow it is supposed to cool down to 106. Double UGH.  I keep hoping we will get some rain.  We need it so badly.

Onto my card for today.  I hope I’m not boring you with my Pinwheel cards.  I needed a card for a virtual swap and this is what I chose to create.  The paper is from the DSP English Garden and the sentiment comes from the new stamp set, All Boxed Up.  I stamped the flower on the inside in Crushed Curry with the stamp set Garden in Bloom.

Feeling Special Pinwheel Card

Feeling Special Pinwheel Inside

I have another Pinwheel card today.  These cards are very addicting and it’s hard to stop at one! The one major difference between today’s card and the one from the other day is that I didn’t use a belly band.  Instead I chose to adhere my sentiment to the scallop circle and attach it to one of the flaps.  You do need to be careful when attaching it to the card so that it can still be opened easily.  I prefer this way but it could be difficult for the recipient to fold it back together.

For the inside I used a flower from the stamp set Garden in Bloom.  I chose not to use the outline stamp but I did use it for the butterfly on the front. I finished it up with several rhinestones on the butterfly!

Pinwheel Card

Happy Birthday Pinwheel

Today I have a fun fold card that I made using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and the Diagonal Plate.  It looks difficult to make but it really isn’t.  Just like the card I posted the other day, it’s the perfect size to slip a gift card into.  It stays shut on its own but I’ve used a belly band so that a sentiment is easy to add to the front.  But as you can see in the picture below, it can also be left plain.  Another great thing about this card – it fits perfectly inside one of our medium envelopes!

Happy B Day pinwheel without band

I used the bright and vibrant Bohemian Designer Series Paper (DSP).  The sentiment is from the stamp set Tin of Cards.  I love the fonts in this set and that the words are nice and bold.  The butterflies on the inside of the card are from Garden in Bloom.  This is a 2 Step Stampin’ set which means that you stamp a base image and then position and stamp another one over it. I stamped the outline of each butterfly in Blackberry Bliss and the inside with Rich Razzleberry.

I had hoped to make my own video showing this fun technique but yesterday when I went to film, my camera battery died and I couldn’t find the charger. I had to place a quick order on Amazon and I should have a new charger any day now. There is a great tutorial over on Splitcoaststampers and you can view it HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Enjoy your weekend!
