Year To Celebrate

Check out these FUN cards!!

They could be used for many different occasions.

I love the images & the words in this stamp set!

Everyone stamping with me at my monthly October classes

will get to make their choice of one of these cards.

Which one do you like better?

THIS- the birthday one on the left?

OR 

THAT- the Happy New Year one on the right?

I used the 

#161945- Merry & Bright DSP= $12.50- pg. 15 HC.

I am not sure which one I like better....the dots or stripes!

On this card I only used one party horn.

Notice how I made little dots using my Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blend.

Check out how one can be made into a pocket card.

You can then add a gift card, cash or a note! 

I just added Tear & Tape to the 3 sides & left the top open to make the pocket.

There are no die for these party horns.

So I just stamped the curly one & cut it out with scissors.

 Notice how I stamped the end of the horn & cut it out too.

When attaching the party horn layered rectangle -

make sure you leave room to stamp your words.

I suggest you just lay your Basic White inside piece where you want it;

shut the card front so you can see where the words need to go; stamp the words; 

then attach them to the inside of the card.

 

Here are the supplies & measurements.

And check out these cool deer!

 

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

 Which card do you like better?

OR

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

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!

Check out today's guy card!

I used the 

#162084- Graceful Deer stamp set= $25.00- pg. 27 HC. 

 This stamp set is all one piece.

So to get more use out of it- I carefully cut it apart,

so that I can use it in other ways.

 There are the 3 pieces I cut it into.

When I cut it I used my scissors & carefully cut apart on the backside

(looking at the rubber side so that I didn't mess up the images).

NOTE:

I am put these 3 all back together onto one big clear bock too

if I want to use them as one stamp set sometime. 

Thus I DID NOT cut any parts of the rubber away when

I cut them apart. 

 Notice how I just crinkled up the 1 x 4 1/4" strip of Early Espresso card stock?

I literally just wadded it up, smoothed it back out with a bone folder

& ruffed up the edges with my fingernail.

Here are the supplies & measurements.
