#Simple Saturday Sending Sunshine Card

 Do you often look for simple cards you can put together quickly? Or maybe you are in need of making multiple cards and hope you can find a layout that makes doing that possible! If so, then this just might be for you. Today is the first of my #Simple Saturday video tutorials, and I'm hoping that you find it (and the ones that will follow) helpful.



The Sending Sunshine stamp set from Stampin' Up! was new in the annual catalog last June. Unfortunately, it's among the products that will be retiring on May 3, 2021 (or sooner if they sell out). I love the serene setting the stamp set gives you. The refreshing water, the setting sun; it all gives me cause to relax!

Here are the measurements for this simple card:

Coastal Cabana cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", and scored along the 8-1/2" side at 4-1/4"; 1-5/8" x 5-1/4"
Sahara Sand cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4"; 1-1/2" x 5-1/4" and textured using the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder and the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
Basic White cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4" (inside); scrap large enough to cut largest solid-edge circle from the Layering Circles dies using the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Here is a video with step-by-step instructions and a few tips:

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2". With simple scoring and folding, it goes together very quickly. Another demonstrator had shared the calendar file that is printed onto printer paper and cut to size. All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...

Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder Techniques

  Do you ever need a quick, but 'wow' kind of card? When don't you, would be my response! That was the inspiration for this weeks card and video tutorial. The Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder is part of the next round of Online Exclusive products that will be available for purchase beginning July 1st.

Accordion Z-Fold Card Tutorial

  If you've been following me for awhile now, you know that I love the z-fold card. It's simple and yet a real "wow" for the recipient.  Today's card adds just a little twist, a few more folds. And, it's a great way to show-off the beautiful Designer Series Papers that Stampin' Up! sells too. I put together a video showing all the steps to put together this fun-fold card. And, at the end I share a few more projects that I made using it. I hope you'll check it out.  Measurements: Evening Evergreen cardstock: 5-1/2" x 11", score along the 11" side at 1-3/4", 3-1/2", 5-1/4" & 7"; 3" x 6", score along the 6" side at 3" Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper: 2 pieces cut at 1-1/2" x 5-1/4" and 2 pieces cut at 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" Basic White cardstock: 3-3/4" x 5-1/4" and one piece 3" x 3"  Be sure to use the November host code: PA43R2KF (good through 11/30/2022) ...
