Let it Ride / Country Road Fun Fold Card

Welcome to my blog. Hope you had a great weekend.
Continuing with Fair Theme this week I will spotlight Let it Ride. I remember entering the horse shows and watching the rodeos at our local Summer Fair.
Let it Ride stamp set is perfect for making simple cards to more complex. The following card is a fun fold card even a beginner can make. I was reminded of this type of card watching a Brenda Quintana tutorial on you tube. I have made them before with 3 strips . I like the 2 strips it gives you space for stamping images.

Materials and Directions
1. Card base is Whisper White 81/2 x 51/2. Score @ 2 1/8 & 6 3/8

2. Layering cardstock Mango Melody


  Cut 2 @ 4x 2 1/2
3. Layering cardstock Whisper White
 Cut 2 at 3 3/4 x 2 1/4. Stamp and color the images from Let it Ride on one piece. The other piece stamp the image from Country Road. Glue these atop the Mango Melody Layering pieces.


Then glue these pieces to the front. Only put glue on the part that glues to the card. One on the right the other on the left.
4. For the card inside cut a piece of Mango Melody 4 x 5. Glue apiece of Whisper White 33/4x 43/4 on top. Stamp a sentiment here.
Here are the products I used. You can order from my website. Remember you can make this card with what you have. You only need the Let it Ride stamp set.

Woven Threads DSP/Corgi Con

Welcome to my blog. Had a busy weekend at Corgi Con. This is an event held twice a year at Ocean Beach California (San Francisco). There were 1000 corgis this year. We had a great time. If you ever get a chance you should see for yourself. Next one is October 19th. The above photo is of my corgi Luzy and her sister Annie (on the right). Here is another photo.

That’s Luzys signature smile.
 When I got home Sunday afternoon I had happy mail not only from Stampin Up but a new dog stamp and die set. I got 2 New DSP packs, Woven Threads and Magnolia Lane DSP. Tonight I will share Woven Threads.
Woven Threads is a new suite. This is another set where I like the paper but not the stamp set. I also got the Heirloom frames dies and embossing folder( haven’t had time to place with these yet.).
I did the love it chop it with the paper. Here is what it looks like.

Tuesday Tips/ love it chop it

Thanks for stopping by. I made the above card using the “love it chop it method” and Over the Moon stamp set. It’s fair time here this stamp set is great for this.
What is “love it chop it”? It’s a way of preparing your DSP so that you can easily use it( instead of hoarding it). I found this technique on Kylie Bertucci you tube channel. Since it was 100+ outside today I decided to give it a try. I highly recommend you watch Kylie’s video. She goes into more detail.
But here is the short version:
1.12 x12 DSP cut at 51/4( you get 2 this size). You will have a strip left over. I cut it in half.

Remember for directional images cut how you want it to be seen( portrait or landscape).
2. Cut the 51/4 pieces at 4( you will get 3 this size)

For storage I’m using this storage box I got at Michaels (70%off). These boxes are just the right size. I started with the most recent DSP and am now working on my favorite older DSP.

Materials and Directions for the card:
1. Mint macaron cardstock base 51/2x 41/4
2. Retired DSP cut using #loveitchopit
3. White layer left over from paper Pumpkin
4. Stamp set Over the Moon in the new catalog. Image covered with Stampin blends I have.
All can be purchased on my website.
Happy crafting
