Thinking of You Fun Fold Card

It's time again for the Spring 2024 Creativate Retreat!


By registering for the Early Bird registration, I also received four fun fold tutorials.  Being an Early Bird has its perks!  Even though the early bird registration has passed, you can still register for the Retreat.

Registration is now open right up until the retreat on April 19-20, 2024!  Sign up now and become a member of the private FB group to share your projects and see what others create.  The demonstrators you can register with are Sharon Armstrong, Brandy Cox, Jackie Bolhuis & Connie Stewart.  Choose a demonstrator and join in on all the fun!  Learn tips and techniques as well as fun cards and projects.  You will have access to all the tutorials so you can create as much as you want!  The live videos are so fun, giving you a chance to comment, laugh along and learn how to create fun projects!  Plus, you also have a chance to win prizes and who doesn't love that!!

Pre-Retreat Challenges are posted each Monday for a month, until the retreat goes live.  These pre-retreat challenges are a great way to get your creativity jump-started.

One of the Early Bird Bonus Tutorials was used for my fun fold card using Stampin' Up! Wonderful Thoughts Bundle & Nature's Sweetness Specialty DSP.

Basic White was used as my card base with layers of beautiful Nature's Sweetness Specialty DSP.

This card is mantle worthy!  It looks so pretty standing up!
On the back gives you plenty of room to write your message.  On the left is a panel of DSP.

Images from the DSP was fussy cut and adhered in the upper & lover corners.

The image was fussy cut from DSP.  It doesn't get much easier than that!
Two of the flowers from another image were fussy cut from the DSP and adhered over the flowers in the image with Stampin' Dimensionals for a little more interest on the card.

The sentiment was stamped with Pebbled Path ink and die cut using Wonderful Thoughts Dies, and adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Linen Thread was looped into a large bow and adhered behind the fussy cut image and adhered on the center panel with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The embellishments are Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.

Sending Love Daisy Card

My card for today was created, as a member of the design team, at

Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge #645.




For my "Sending Love" card, I used Stampin' Up! Hooray for Surprises Stamps & Dies & Winter Meadow DSP.

Blueberry Bushel was used as my card base with layers of Basic White and Winter Meadow DSP.

The background half circle was cut from a little basket on my craft desk to trace on the DSP and fussy cut.

The flowers were stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink, stamped once full strength and again without reinking for a lighter image.
The flowers were die cut using Hooray for Surprises DiesWink of Stella was brushed on the flower centers.
One flower was adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the other with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped on Basic White with Blueberry Bushel ink, trimmed and flagged on the right and adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Linen Thread was doubled up and tied in a bow and tucked just under the petals with a Mini Glue
Dot.

The leaves were die cut from Lost Lagoon and Garden Green cardstock and tucked behind the flowers with Mini Glue Dots.

The embellishments are Blooming Pearls.

Inside my card is DSP layered with Basic White.  The flowers were stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink on scrap paper first then onto the Basic White cardstock for a lighter image.  The sentiment was stamped with the same ink.



DSP was adhered on the envelope flap and trimmed.
