Double DSP Flap Card


 Update- added some flowers that I found like she did, the inside needed that touch!

I made this card following JanB Cards on YouTube. Fairly easy  and I just happened to have this paper - the same she used. I am very happy with how it turned out! I decorated it differently than her card, mostly because I didn’t have those stamps and dies.

Most Amazing Octagon Easel Card and Box

 I belong to this group on Patreon called The Gentleman Crafter and he creates these fabulous cut files for the Brother Scan n Cut machine. This one just really got my creative juices flowing because there is a half inch deep space in the easel card and I never use my Heartfelt Creations stamps and dies because they are too thick for cards. They fit perfectly inside this! I went crazy and put them on the lid as well though because I was on a roll. I am sure if you are a crafter you get that! The paper is an older Stampin Up set that I have hoarded and love. The colors in it are so pretty, I could have gone with blue, pink or yellow but chose lavender- every Spring I am in a lavender mood! I pulled out my prills for the flower centers and used chunky glitter on the butterflies- both from Heartfelt Creations, I went to a couple of their classes at Scrapbook Expo years ago.

St Patricks Day Cards

 Here are two cards I made for St Patricks Day. These cards are made with stamps and dies from The Stamps of Life. I am going to be in our parade with my Jeep decorated along with the Jeep Club. It is so much fun! Happy St Paddys Day to you!

Iris Card with Perennial Lavender DP

 I used this cut file with my scan n cut. I have made this card from scratch a few time before and several years ago but doing this with the machine, game changer! Minutes and I have all the pieces cut out for me. This is Stampin Ups latest designer paper (DP) perennial lavender. I bought two packs I love it so much!  The Hummingbird is from a SU stamp set.

Card Bases Cut Scan n Cut

 Here are three cards I made with the Scan n Cut. I haven’t decorated them yet. All layers are included! I love fancy cards to make and this is awesome. 





Lavender Birthday Card

 This is a fun fold card I believe it’s called Joy Fold. It has been around in card making for a long time but it is one of my favorites for pretty paper. This is Stampin Up paper Perennial Lavender. Spellbinder dies. The last picture is the flowers cut with my Scan n Cut, this makes me so happy! I hate fussy cutting and the expensive dies (although this stamp doesn’t have a die) which also makes the machine awesome. I also use SVG files and create many things with it but this is the main reason I got it.

Last Valentine Card and Candy Gift Holder

 This is my card I made for my hubby. There is a Penny Black card with the most adorable teddy bears but I didn’t order it in time so I used a cute Sloth. The candy gift I made for my new card making friends. Card making gals are such nice people! I miss my group in TX but I have new friends here and that has been a huge blessing.

Birthday Card or Valentines Card

 I copied Gina K recent card - a waterfall card made with hearts.  She made a template and has a video if you would like to make it. I have made many waterfall cards but they are always little squares. Gina K is genius thinking of using this big heart! It’s beautiful. I happen to have the ephemera she had and was thrilled I could replicate it. I used different stamps though. Anyway this is for my mother-in-law for her birthday.
