Happy for You Slide & Lock

I saw this fun “Slide & Lock” fancy fold card done by several people. I’m not sure who to credit for the layout. It’s basically a gate-fold card with a centered layer. Usually the layer is stuck to the left side, but this one locks the card closed. To open the card, you slide the layer up.

I also used a fun splatter technique that makes a beautiful background! On the video I didn’t give enough time for the splatter to dry on its own, so the ink didn’t have a chance to move all the way, leaving the white areas seen on this image. I needed to be more patient!!!

Everyday Magic

This is the card that I sent out as a thank you card last month. I wanted to use the Stargazing Designer Series Paper even though I did not purchase the stamp set. I was drawn to some of the specialty papers.  I thought the greeting from Something Fancy was perfect.

Sheltered in Love

My friend Karen and I make cards for some people at church that need some extra encouragement. We usually make about 28 cards in a few hours, so it’s helpful to be fairly quick. Since they go to men and women, we try not to make them too flowery. We were both please how quickly these went together!

Gorgeous Garden

Isn’t this an elegant card? We made it at the last SIP Together class at my house and it was very popular. One stamp, three die-cut pieces, and a bit of the soft ribbon and it’s done! What occasion would you use this card?

Nature’s Artistic Prints

You can make this card with lots of texture and rich colors! Embossing Paste provides the background. Since embossing paste dries pretty quickly when you’re making  the card. In fact, I keep a dish with an inch or so of water nearby to drop my tools in as soon as I’m done. Then you’ll want to clean your tools as soon as possible.

I assumed my tub wouldn’t be usable for long. I hadn’t used it in a while, so when I was preparing for a project, I bought a new tub. Before I used it though, I found my tub from 2018 and was shocked to find it still good! It comes with a foam layer in the lid and a foil seal and then it’s in a resealable bag. I kept both those layers in the lid and the tub in the bag. I admit the top was a little stiff and I scraped that off. The part underneath worked just fine! I finished the old tub and started the new. For what it’s worth, before I closed up the tub this time, I smoothed the surface as much as possible to reduce the contact with air.

Paper Florist Gift Package

Here’s a quick little gift package. Maybe you’ll add candy like I did. You can decorate any way, but I used the Paper Florist Dies. They would be great wedding or party favors or just a little something to brighten someone’s day.

In my sample above, I added a bit of shading around the edges of the flower. I thought the color would spread a lot more. When I demonstrated it in my SIP Together class we didn’t add any color and they turned out just fine. If you wanted to add color, perhaps it would be better to use a Blending Brush and ink from the Bubble Bath ink pad.
