70 th Birthday Card !

 Hi stamping friends . I wanted to share with you a birthday card I created for a beautiful friends special birthday! It’s a triple step or side stepper card and I have used some favourite retired stamp sets  , Beautiful You & Sip Sip Hooray as well as the Dressed  To Impress stamp set & matching dies , All Dressed Up 

 Card base is 10 “ x 7 “

DSP 2 1/4 "  x 2 3/4 “ x one piece ; two pieces 1 3/4 “ x 2 3/4, 1 x piece  6 3/4 “ x 1 3/4 “ , 1 piece 6 3/4" x 1 3/4 ( for inside )

Method 

On the short side place a pencil mark @ 2 1/2 & 4 3/4 “

Turn paper

Score @ 3 “ & 6 “ to the first drawn pencil line 

Score to the 2 nd pencil line @ 8 “

Score @ 4 “ & 7 “ just between the two lines

Score @ 5 “ just from the 2 nd line to the bottom

Put the paper in the trimmer with the short side to the top  and on the 2 1/2 " pencil line cut from 4 " to 8 " , IMPORTANT - make sure you have a pencil line @ the 2 1/2 " pencil line - if you do not you need to turn your CS so that you do .

Move your paper over to the 4 3/4 " line ( there should be a pencil line at this increment . Cut from 3 " to 6 "

Make mountain folds on the 5 “ , 4 “ & 3 “ score lines .

Make valley folds on 7 “ & 6 “ score lines 

Decorate as desired .

TIMELESS TROPICAL FACEBOOK LIVE

 Hi Stampers ! Tonight I created two stunning cards using the Timeless Tropical stamp set & co ordinating dies . I have struggled to colour the large hibiscus flower but after experimenting I came up with a lovely technique to do this gorgeous flower justice . As the weather is tropical right now and because my Stampin ‘ Up order didn’t arrive until late morning  I decided to craft with this set as I’ve not shown it much love . For the first two cards I have used Poppy Parade , Pale Papaya & Granny Apple Green ; for the pink card I used Polished Pink & Flirty Flamingo .

 

For my last card I sponged on Daffodil Delight , Calypso Coral , Polished Pink , Highland Heather , Gorgeous Grape and Tuxedo Black Memento . The stamps are set  Sailing Home & Birch Background.

I hope you enjoyed my projects .

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

 Hello stamping friends , happy new year to all of you ! We are all hoping for  better year this year after two years of Covid 19 and all that it entails . My business has taken a hit with restrictions meaning I could not have people to my home or go to theirs and the world wide shipping crisis not to mention a 4 week delay in receiving orders . Speaking of shipping delays , if you see an item you really have to have in the new mini you need to order it right away because when it sells out we will have to wait for another shipment to arrive before we can order . SU decided to turn off back ordering so that's no longer an option . Also the SAB item you have your eye on may not be available at the time so you'll be needing o choose your next favourite item . Please let me know if this occurs and I may be able to help you out with it but I make no promises .

So last night because it was New Year's Eve I created some cards that could be used for this occasion . I used my Nothing's Better Than dies and coordinating stamp set , love You More Than available in the Annual Catalogue .

I completed the cards I was showing at the end of the video as well .
