Graceful Deer fun fold

WOW- this is a cool fun fold card!

And check out these cool deer!

 

This could make a neat holiday card or a neat guy card!

 Which card do you like better?

THIS OR THAT?

THIS- the colored 'winter greetings' one?

OR

THAT- the 'thinking of you' one?

 

This is one of the cards that everyone joining me at my October

monthly stamp classes will be making.

Everyone will get to decide if they want to color on their card or leave it plain.

#162084- Graceful Deer background stamp= $25.00

NOTE:  This stamp set is all one big background stamp.

To make it more versatile to use I cut mine apart.

YUP- CAREFULLY  I cut it (looking at the red rubber side) in 4 places.

I did NOT cut out any of the images or part of the stamp.

By leaving it this way I can still put it all back together 

& use as one big background stamp.

OR I can use all 3 deer separately or come a couple of them.

When looking down onto the card from the top,

 this is what the card looks like when standing up.

I hope you like this fun fold card as much I do!

Nathan didn't have good luck last night.  He got 4th in his heat & 10th in main.  The motor isn't running right.....so the guys worked late in the shop when they got home from the races.  

I burnt the midnight oil cutting card stock all night last night.  I still have some to finish yet this morning before I go pick up the boys.  When they leave I'll be a busy bee setting up tables/chairs & projects.  Tonight I have a house full coming to stamp with me!  I am looking forward to seeing everyone & sharing!

Brayden has his first baseball game tonight (if it doesn't get rained out)- so Deke will go to that.  I am bummed I can't, but I'll be at the next one.  Brayden isn't excited about playing ball- so I hope that he ends up liking it.  I think he will.  He didn't care for playing soccer either at the beginning & ended up loving it!  

OK- I've gotta run.......

I hope you have a great day!!
Happy Stamping!

Here is a Merry Tags Framelit Die card!

Check out this cute deer in the Merry Tags Framelit Die!  I partnered it up with the Woodland Embossing Folder.  I thought it made a great fall card or a great guy card!

This is a also a fun fold- 'gate fold' card.  The top come up & the bottom goes down.  

I used the Burlap ribbon again....think I'm getting kind of addicted to it.  I like the width of it & it is stiff & great to work with to add dimension to a card or project. 

It is clean & simple- but very cool!

stamp set:  'Sunburst Sayings'
card stock:  Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
ink:  Early Espresso
other:  Big Shot, Precision Plate, Merry Tag Framelit Die, Classic Label Punch, 2" Circle Punch, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Burlap Ribbon, New Platoform, Woodland Embossing Folder

AND CHECK THIS CARD OUT.......

I made this same card into a Christmas card.  Look closely at the snowflakes here!

What do you think?  I used a sponge dauber & a Whisper White Craft Ink Pad & lightly rubbed the Woodland Embossed (Crumb Cake) piece.  I then added some little snowflakes from the 'Greetings from Santa' stamp set!  I also used the 'Teeny Tiny Wishes' (Merry Christmas) words here too with the Classic Label Punch.

This card was the 6th one everyone at my October monthly classes got to make with me last week.  

I gave everyone at my classes the option of making either the fall OR Christmas card.  I think it was a toss up as to which they all liked the best.  It was about 1/2 & 1/2 making each of them.

I am not sure which one I like the best.  I am a snowflake lover....so do really like that card too.  

++++++

The boys & I were outside alot yesterday- it was warm & windy!  They should have slept good last night.  Brayden rode the bus here after school, so we were all glad we got to see him for a bit- but he had basket ball practice, so wasn't here too long.  After the other boys left I burnt the midnight oil working on entering orders & doing bookwork.  Deke worked late on the farm with the pigs, since it to was too wet for him to be in the field. 

This morning I'm off early to walk & then head in to pick up the boys.  Poor little Masen had a fever last night, so he might be going to the dr today & not coming here.  Deke will be home all day today to work on the farm. 

Tonight when the boys go home I'll be a stamping!!  And if it is dry enough, Deke will be going back out to work in the field. 

Gotta run.....
I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!
Happy Stamping!

Hugs!
