A Birthday card for a Lady

Hello to my crafty friends,
I am sharing a card using the Semi-Funky Accordion Fold kit.
There are so many different ways to create with this card and so easy!
This one was quick!
On the front I stamped and colored Floral Lady and Ranunculus set of 2.
I used the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to stamp the Ranunculus set of 2.
I stamped the outline of the flower on the card.
In just a couple of steps, you can position your solid image inside the outline stamp.

Step 1
Put the plastic sheet in the corner of the positioner and stamp it on the sheet.
Step 2
Put the plastic sheet where you want to stamp and put the
positioner to the plastic sheet.
Step 3
Keep the positioner in place and remove the plastic sheet.
Put the stamp in the corner of the positioner and stamp!
Voila! 

Now, the inside of the card.
This is what it looks like open.
I used Secret of Young and Happy Birthday Large

Hope you enjoyed it!

Birthday Alien Funky Fold

Hello Crafty Friends,
This is Vicky with a funny alien birthday card that was fast and easy to make. 
The space category is a great one for kids too!
I used this month's, Card Kit

For the card, I blended 2 shades of blue around the edges and 1 light shade for the center.
The Moon Full and the Spaceship were stamped on X-Press and colored with Copic markers.
The silver stars were glued on.
The saying, Didn't Forget Your Birthday was stamped with VersaFine.

When you open the card you get all of this area to create with.
I added a funny, snarky saying, Never Too Late and then added
To add to the humor the Alien Funny Face.
The way the card is folded, he is almost like a sweet surprise.
This is what the card looks like laid out.
Check out our card kits!

Thank you for a Friend Slider Card

 Today I needed to make a thank you card for a friend. I didn't have a lot of time so I went with the Slider card. They are quick and fun to make. I usually put something fun inside but this time I went with flowers since she was a florist and has beautiful flowers in her garden.

The card pulled open.
There are 2 secret spots, one on the front and one on the back.

I started with the front panel. I didn't put the front panel on until the end.
I used the Flowers and Butterflies and masked the butterfly and stamped it on white card stock. I also stamped it on the yellow card stock so I didn't have to cut out the antennas and tiny legs.
I stamped the flower on white card stock and cut it out.
First, When the card was laying flat, I brushed on blue ink over the card to give it some color.
I stamped the Flowers and Butterflies on X-Press card stock to color with Copic markers.
Then I positioned the image within the window. 

The pull card was also brushed with blue ink. I attached it and also put a circle pull on the end. 
The last thing I did was put the front panel on.
This completed my Slider card. There are a lot of ways you could decorate it for any occasion.

Christmas in July Sale!

 Hello!

We are having Christmas in July sale! 
All Christmas stamps will be on sale today through the 25th!
So I made 3 cards for ideas.

To start, a very quick and easy card. 
I put a card across the middle of the card and sponged green from the center out so it was light green on the edges.
I stamped the Holly Swirl Small on the top and bottom.
Stamped Fill Your Heart and mounted on red.
I used ScorTape on the outer edge and used WOW gold embossing powder.
I also added glitter to the swirls. 
 Another easy one.
I used the Center Step Card.
I used the Holly Swirl Small on this card too. I think it goes well with the Reindeer.
The Reindeer was embossed with WOW gold embossing powder.
Merry Christmas was stamped in red VersaFine.
This card was also pretty quick. The card is the Swinging Z-Fold.

The Glass with Lights was stamped and colored with Copic Markers.
First I stamped the Sm. and Med. Snowflakes on the top and bottom cutouts.
I sponged blue all over the card and then stamped the snowflakes at random on the outside and inside of the card.
I cut around the image and edged it with the red ink pad and mounted it on the card.
I used the Sign Post Words set of 3 for the Merry Christmas

Here you can see the sponged blue and snowflakes were also put on the inside.
On the left, I used the Alcoholism & Diabetes stamp for a little humor.
Happy Holidays Long was stamped with VersaFine.
I added the Christmas Lights to match the glass.
Check out the Christmas stamps!
Take care and have some stamping fun.

Summer Drink With An Umbrella

Hello Stamper,
Hello Summer!
I am using our new Card Kit for this month, and a couple of new release stamps.
Summer is time for those fruit drinks with little umbrellas!
Isn't this drink fun?
I used the large image but it also comes in a small version. 
Front and inside of card.
I put a piece of scrap paper under the front of the card and then I brushed ink onto the front.
I stamped the Fruit Slice & Wedge onto a piece of card stock and colored them
as lemon, lime, and orange.
The Cocktail Summer Fun was stamped and colored with Copic.
I cut around the image and then mounted it and cut around it again.
I used the Fruit Slice & Wedge with colored ink instead of coloring them for the inside of the card.
I stamped and mounted the sayings: Life is Short Saying, Cheers On Your Birthday
Here is the card open all the way.
Stamps Used:
