Accordian Fun Fold

WOW!  I got sidetracked with my craft show this weekend that I forgot to get my video posted.  It is out on YouTube now, if you want to see it.  You can click here to go right to it.  I found this fun fold online in a creation by Debbie Mageed.  I thought it would be a great use of some designer series paper, I think we all have some of that to use up.  It's really simple and straight forward.  The front embellishing is the hardest part.  Have a great weekend and wish me luck at the craft fair.  I'm mainly on a discovery mission.....hoping people discover me!!  I'd love to find more people to stamp with, some potential customers would even be great.  Hoping mostly to expand my stamping circle, but a few sales would be great too.  I have a lot of kits and miscellaneous items to sell as well.

Push n Pull interactive card this week...

If you watch the video you'll hear the story behind the interactive card I chose for tonight.  It all started in a conversation with my RCD (Resident Creative Director, or my husband Mike) and I chatting about my card for my weekly live while we were on our walk.  So, from that came this.  It is a fun interactive card that is pretty simple to make.  There are so many possibilities for this style of card, occasions galore!  I think you could even make a gift card work on one of the sliders.  I'd have to give it a try to know for sure, but it sure seems like it would work.  Maybe a slimline card would be more in order for it, but it would still work.  HOW FUN!!  You can see the video on YouTube, here.

October Christmas Card Tonight

Hi there.  Tonight I did my Christmas card video for the month of October.  I was a day late, generally I do it on the 25th, but bowling got in the way.  I whipped up a fun and easy card using jar stamp sets and coordinating punch.  It comes together pretty quick and would be a great card for making duplicates for your holiday card needs.  You can view the video on YouTube, here.

Cozy Christmas Paper Pumpkin for Oct

I got my alternates ready for the Cozy Christmas kit.  The videos are up on YouTube, or you can view them in the album on Facebook.  I did a variety of folds and kept it pretty close to just kit contents to create them.  I did go rogue and used the box on the 4th card, but you can use any designer series paper and create this fun fold.  I hope you go take a peek and be sure to like/comment on the videos.  It all helps in the world of social media growth.  I am so excited to see so many new names popping up!  I definitely wear a smile from ear to ear when I see them.  Have a great day.

Prairie Grass set with a quick background

Tonight on my live I showed how to make a quick background piece that can be used for multiple cards.  I made 3 different designs using the Prairie Grass stamp set.  The first one was very simple, but really looks great.  From there I moved up to a little bit stepped up and the last card had a bit more wow factor.  They were all very simple to make and with the easy background they came together in no time.  You can see the video on my YouTube channel here.

October Card Class

I had my October card class this past Sunday/Monday.  I like the variety of designs in the mix, so many uses for them.  There is a mix of retired products in these designs as well as several new products.  I often like to use whatever I have on hand that makes up the design I come up with.  I like to encourage people to use the products they have, but do appreciate when they buy the new stuff!!  These are the photos of the cards they made.  

This card above uses Autumn Leaves stamps, some vellum and cute little leaves on the two toned paper.

I had never used this Beautiful Thistle stamp set on the above card.  I wish I had used it before now!

this one used the sunflower embossig folder that is such a hit right now.  I put it on the two toned paper so they could sand the embossed part to create the look.  I really like that Need for Tweed paper too.

This card above used the Aspen dies.

Cracked Glass Technique

Hi, thanks for stopping by.  Tonight for my weekly live I did a fun technique called cracked glass.  You can see the video on YouTube if you are interested in seeing how it comes together.  I have several samples shown here as I had a few practice runs and decided to turn them into cards.  I also had the "mask" that wasn't going to go to waste so I turned that into a card as well.  Thanks for checking it out, I hope you give it a try.  If you do, please post your example on my FB page.  GreenThumb Stampers has a pinned post for projects everyone is working on.  I'd love to have yours there for all to see!!

Here is another card I created recently too.  It was for a friend I used to work with.

Love & Courage card

This week my live was a fun fold using the Love & Courage set.  This set is the one that SU will donate $3 to breast cancer organizations for every set sold.  What a great cause and a pretty cool set!  I gave a list of supplies for anyone that wanted to have stuff ready and play along with me.  I'm not sure how many did that, but a few have made it at some point.  I think that is just wonderful!  It makes me feel good to see that.  You can see the video on YouTube if you want to watch it.  Below is the card and the supplies I used.
