Tear and Tape adhesive - goes at the top of each fringe piece before cutting with the Fringe Scissors, as it will help you know where to stop.

Fringe Scissors (retired) but you substitute with the current Beautiful Balloons Dies (they have a fringe die as part of the set, or you can use Chive Scissors from your kitchen, or if you are desperate, regular paper snips will do. Start your fringe building from the bottom of the card and proceed up.

Sweet Strawberry Summertime Card

This is the final card to share from my July Stamp and Chat Classes. Another fruity card, but this time Strawberries! This layout was cased from the StampingNinja.com

These beauties came from my garden in July. The plants are going crazy with berries this year. I think they love the combination of warmer weather and consistent watering via our timer system.

The berries above look really close to the artist inspired berries on the Designer Series Paper below, don't you think?

Here's how to make this card!

Products Needed and Dimensions:

Poppy Parade Cardstock card base 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4"

Basic White inner card layer 4" x 5-1/4"

Retired Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper 4" x 5-1/4" and 2-3/4" square

Basic White punched with 2-1/4" Circle Punch and another piece punched with 1" Circle Punch

4" piece of 2019 3/8" Sale-a-Bration Organza Ribbon in Granny Apple Green

Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set and Punch

Poppy Parade Ink for berries and Granny Apple Green in for leaves

Pearl Jewels for embellishment

Tomorrow is the Big Day - The new Fall Mini Catalog goes live and so does the Second Sale-a-Bration offering for this year. If you need catalogs be sure to let me know via the contact tab.

Have a sunny summer day!

Ice Cream Corner Double Z Fold Card

Only one more Ice Cream Corner Card to share with you after today. This cute design was inspired by Anne Marie Hile, but her card opened vertically and wouldn't stand up by itself which is how I like my card designs to stand, so I changed the fun fold around so the card would stand by itself.

Specific Products needed:

Ice Cream Corner Suite or Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set and Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch

Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper (DSP)

Here's how you construct this card:

For the Z Fold Pieces

Blackberry Bliss 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 2-1/8 and 4-1/4 on the long side

Granny Apple Green 4-1/2" x 7-1/2", scored at 3" and 5-1/8" on the long side

Front of Card:

Striped Layer on Left - 1-7/8" x 5-1/4"

Attached Panel is Granny Apple Green 3-1/4" x 4-1/2"

Basic White 3" x 4-1/4"

Scraps of White for Scoop stamps in Pool Party, Bumblebee, and Petal Pink inks.

Ice Cream Cone Builder punch for the cones with DSP

Champagne Rhinestones

Inner Layer of Card:

Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper cut 4" x 5-1/4"

Granny Apple Green 3-1/4" x 4-1/2"

Basic White 3" x 4-1/4" with mini dots stamped in Terracotta Tile ink in upper and lower corners

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink for Thank You greeting

Z Fold Inner Side Panel:

Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper cut 1-7/8" x 4-1/4"

Important Tip:

Attach the completed smaller back Thank You panel to the inner card back with good spacing all around, and then attach the front piece of the smaller Z Fold to your card front. On top of that attach your finished card front layers when the card is closed, so you know exactly where to add the adhesive on portions of the front panel and smaller Z fold panel to allow the entire card to open as shown in the photos and to precisely cover the inner panel as well.

Top View

See how the front panel sticks out over the smaller Z Fold panel? Refer back to the Important Tip above if you don't quite understand the folding process.

I hope you'll give this unique Z Fun Fold a try. It isn't that complicated if you compare your work to the photos above! All the needed products can be ordered at my online store at the link below.

Have a "cool" day!

Using Retired Products Creatively

As I was planning my cards for this weekend's In Home Card Classes, I decided to dive into my retired products (for the most part) and see what I could come up with. Here's a lovely Thanksgiving Card for the result! This card was inspired by Mary Knabe.

Starting with a Early Espresso base, I layered on strips of the retired Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP). The bottom piece is 2" x 4" and the top three strips are 1" x 4" spread out evenly. On top of that went a layer of Mango Melody 2-3/4" x 3-1/2", then a layer of Very Vanilla 2-1/2" x 3-1/4", From my very old wooden block stamp set, Teeny Tiny Wishes, went the greeting stamped in Mango Melody.

For the focal point, I started with the 3/8" Early Espresso Woven Ribbon (retired) wrapped around the two layers as shown. Then I fussy cut the triple pumpkin image from the Painted Autumn DSP. Next was a die cut leaf from retired Seasonal Layer dies cut on Granny Apple Green. Then a Gold Foil leaf from the Nature's Roots Dies was prepared (cut and embossed). I layered those as shown, scotch taped it all together on the back side, then used Dimensionals to attach to the card front. Last step was adding the bow with glue dots.

I think the result looks great! You can use this layout idea with any combination of paper, ink and stamps. Go crazy and give it a try!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I'd love to read your thoughts/comments on this design. You can comment at the end of this post.
