I will also post a new Host Code for March .

Simple card and Monday updates

Good evening. Hope your day went well. This weekend I played around with current and retired product. I also used one of my favorite dog stamps to make the above card. I love Stampin Up but also love my collection of dog stamps. Combining them makes some neat cards.
Materials used:( from Stampin Up)
- Mint Macaron cardstock for the card base
- Berry Burst cardstock 4x51/4 for layering piece
-Frosted Floral DSP (retired) 3 3/4 x 5 , cut this piece @2 inches
Layer on top of Berry Burst, turning over the 2 inch piece
-metallic edged ribbon
- stamp of your choice.
-Stitched Shape Framelits the square
This layout is simple. Have fun with it and use what you have.

Updates:
1. Paper Pumpkin this next month will have an extra stampset. Remember you can use subscription to earn free product.

2. Starting Friday you will be able to purchase product that coordinates with some Sale-A-Bration items. You have till March 31st to take advantage of Sale-A-Bration.

Fun Saturday triangle front card

Good day.  Hope you had a great week. Had to change fun Friday to fun Saturday because of technical difficulties. I couldn’t get the pictures to upload.
The last card I made rectangle panel. In this fun fold card I use triangle panels using DSP Botanical Butterfly from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. This paper you can get free with a 50 purchase.
Materials:
-81/2 x11 cardstock. I used Highland Heather
- Whisper White cardstock 51/4x4 for the inside
- Whisper White scrap to punch out for sentiment
- Story Label Punch ( available March 1st)
- 51/4x 4 piece of DSP for the panels. I used Botanical Butterfly DSP I got free from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.
Directions:
1. Score the 81/2 x11 , 41/4 on the 81/2 side and 51/2 on the 11 inch side.

2. Cut diagonally. I did this by hand because paper did not fit in my paper cutter. You get 2 card bases.

3.Cut the DSP diagonally. Make sure the side you want to show is on the bottom when you cut. Glue these pieces to the front.

4. Punch out a label with the Story Label Punch ( or Label Punch you have). Stamp sentiment. I used a sentiment from the Butterfly Gala stamp set available in the Occasions catalog (the Punch is not available).
4. On the inside glue the piece of 51/4x 4 inch piece of Whisper White.

Simple Panel Card/faux layering with Happiness Blooms DSP

If your like me you end up with lots of DSP scraps. These are great for making Panel Cards. For this card I used scraps of Happiness Blooms DSP. If your just getting started and don’t have scraps. Use DSP you have. The faux layering was also made from scraps I had.
Materials:
-Card base - Flirty Flamingo cut on the 11 inch side @ 5 1/2 ( you will have 2 card bases)
-DSP Panel cut 2 x 5 1/2. I used Happiness Blooms from the Occasions catalog.
-faux layering pieces from shaded Spruce cardstock . Cut 2 pieces 1/4 inch x 5 1/2
-stamp set Best Birds from the Annual catalog for the sentiment.
- Whisper White cardstock cut at 3 3/4 x 5 for inside the card.
Directions :
1. Make your card base by folding the Flirty Flamingo in half
2.Glue the DSP panel to the front of the card base as shown in the picture.
3.Using the faux layering pieces of Shaded Spruce glue one above the panel and one below the panel.  This will looked like the panel has been layered on top of a piece of cardstock.
4.  Stamp the sentiment in the lower right of the card front.
5. Glue the Whisper White cardstock inside the card
The card below I made the same way but changed:
DSP- reverse side of piece used in other card
Cardstock base- Pineapple Punch
Faux layering- Night of Navy
Sentiment- different one from Best Bird

Remember:
Sale-A-Bration is going on until March 31st. Many items are selling out. If you want any of the items I used for the cards today or other items you can order on my website. Use the host code GVDWAAEM for orders less than 150$.

Hope your weekend was a good one too. Because of this I didn’t get any crafting done.

Fun Friday

Happy Friday and weekend. Been getting ready for 2 days of agility with my kids Luzy and Dottie.
Took some time to make the above card using the new Painted Seasons DSP. Really liking it. Going to have to get more before it’s gone. The card base is Grapefruit Grove cardstock. I used a die I had to make the flip card base and a fox stamp set ( I got both from the stamps of life). I stamped the fox on water color paper using Stazon ink. I water colored the fox using water color pencils.
 For those of you new to stamping there are 2 kinds of black ink used for stamping the images. It all depends on how your going to color the image on which to use:
