Reverse Flip Card

 This card is from Creative Gems.  I try to make all of her cards, she has two a week most weeks.  I see this paper pack used a lot - Scenic Coast by Stampin Up but never see this sheet and color used.  I love it! I used gorgeous grape, highland heather and crushed curry cardstocks.

Slimline Pop Up Card

 This is a little different.  Susan Campfield made a video on YouTube. It is way too thick (almost a half inch!) to mail for reasonable postage.  However I did enjoy making the card very much.  I actually like the front design I made myself (not copying) that I am going to make another slimline to mail without all of the bulk.

Moonlit Flora Z Fold Card

 This card is using the Moonlit Flora DSP by Stampin Up. I so love Berry Burst with this designer paper! I used Fern and Flora and Fragrant Layers stamps and dies.

Seaside Theme Slider Card


This card I made for my niece for her birthday.  I used the Relaxing Waterside stamp and die set by Stampin Up.  I love this chair in these colors!  I also had a nice color combo for the card stock, a little different than all my pinks and purples of late.  I love this card and she did as well.

Pocket Flip Slider Card

 This card has been around a while, at least the slider part.  I like the flip up panel on this. I made this from Carys Creative Table YouTube video. This is the Velvet Meadow DSP from Stampin Up.

Diorama Type Card

 This card is a copy of a card I saw on Pinterest, so not original but I thought it was pretty so decided to post it here.  Using Stampin Up dies and stamps, the background picture though is from Creative Fabrica.

Triple Tiered Slider Card

 This was originally made by Sam Calcott but Carys Creative Table did a smaller version which are the directions I followed here.  Both on YouTube if you decide to make one.  I pulled out and old Cuttlebug embossing folder and used an MFT die to make the wavy line.  The seagulls are from Stampin Up.  Fun card to make!  This is my second one, the first I used the same stamps as she did and posted it a little bit ago.

Another card from Creative Gems, I used Velvet Meadow DSP and Fern and Flora stamps and dies. The color combo is so pretty in person!

Pop-up Gift Card Holder Card








Another Creative Gems Laura Stranks tutorial. Love this color combo! The second picture, the top piece you put a gift card in from the top ( when opened). I didn’t do that on this one but am making it again with it made properly for one to send to a dear friend for her birthday. Paper, stamps and dies from Stampin Up.

5 x 7 Expanding Z-Fold Card

 Saw this on Iced Images YouTube, it is modified from Simply Simple Stamping she said. I made the hummingbird card from that and then when I saw this version I thought it would be perfect for my in-laws anniversary card. I don’t have to mail it so it can be bigger and thicker! Used the Framed Violets and paper from Stampin Up.  Printed the sentiments.

Side Pillar Pop Up Card

 This is the card I made for the August swap for creative cards with Trish. I love the berry burst color with the Moonlit Flora DSP.

Double Z Fold Card

 This is a pretty standard Z Fold, I used some DSP from last year that I had leftover. Pretty set of papers and I found that  Just Jade card stock worked really well with it. I have some that I never used, retired In Color. I try to use all of my supplies! The hummingbirds are from The Stamps of Life. I have kept this set for years, they are just right.

Offset Gallery Card

 This was Creative Gems Friday night (Saturday morning for her in Australia) card this week. I have been looking for a style of card that would be able to highlight this beautiful moth in the Moonlit Flora, designer series paper pack. I also use soft sea foam card stock to bring out the moth even more. Such a quick and easy card to make and it’s so stunning!

 These are the cards we made for the August class. I so enjoy going to my friend’s house and stamping with the gals!

Bendy Fun Fold Card

 Another fun card from Creative Gems. I made this for my sweet card making friend in TX - I tried to keep it as thin as I could because the post office is charging huge rates for thicker cards. Its a challenge with these fun folds! No pieces on dimensionals or jewels this time.

Window Card and Card Class Cards

I am not sure of the card name, I made this at my friend's monthly card making class. This is a little different than I’ve made in the past, the focal image is glued to the right side and it opens up. I love it. We make 5 cards each time and I posted a pic below of the 5 from this month. I love the peach one. I have posted this style card before, it’s where you pull the tag and the peach image flaps open to a message underneath. I made a few around Christmas time. I so enjoy going to her classes and chatting with the ladies oh and the potluck lunch!

Triple Tiered Wiper Card

 So I saw this being made by Sam Calcott, she has made them in 3 different sizes so far but none A2. I saw someone post their card and they followed the directions from Carys Creative Table. Hers is I believe is A6 but thats close enough for me. This is what I made. Someone requested a birthday card for a 15 year old girl with some sad issues and was hoping cards would cheer her up.  I used the Wild Bunch stamp set and Stampin Up DSP. It is a fun card! You pull the bottom piece to the right and the animals pop out to the left.

Gate Fold Card

Do you ever have a bunch of saved cards to make and just don’t get to them? I decided to start working through my saved cards on my phone. Dont even want to tackle my pins on Pinterest, too many! Anyway this is a CASE of a card I saw posted online. The inside is my design but the outside is not. Moonlit Flora DSP by Stampin Up with old olive card stock.

Inside Pop Out Fun Fold

This is a fun card to open! The two messages on the sides pop out of the center box when you open the card. The DSP is Violet Dreams by Stampin Up. I used Highland Heather card stock for the base.

Sliding Message Card

 Another dear card making friend sent a die set for my birthday that she thought would go well with the Cute Bugs set. I made this card from it, the mushrooms and ferns are the dies. I then used a couple of the fussy cut bugs from the DSP and made the card with Moonlit Flora DSP. I am very pleased with the outcome! I will be sending this to her.
