Happy Easter Blessing!

Happy Easter!!
Sending many blessings to each of you on this blessed Easter day!  

It is such a different Easter than normal with this distancing.
It is sad that we can't be with our church families & families, 
to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the tomb.   
Thank goodness for technology, that we can listen to church services on the radio, tv or face book!
stamp set:  'Easter Promise'
card stock:
  • Thick Whisper White- 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 5 1/2"- fold in half for card base

  • Whisper White- 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card; 2 3/4" strip- stamp words onto & die cut out with the Stitched Oval Die; 1 1/2" strip- stamp cross onto 2 different times.  Die cut one out & layer over the top of the other cross.  Then fussy cut out with your scissors.

How did I do it?
Look at what I did with the stitched rectangle.....I die cut it out!
And then I cut it in half with my scissors.  Adhered it to the center of the card, wrapped ribbon around it and then adhered the Stitched Oval 'Happy Easter' words over it.
Look at the cross.  It has lots of layers to it!
  • I stamped the cross & die cut it out.  This die cuts these two images at one time!  
  • I then stamped the cross again & adhered these 2 die cut images over the top of it.
  • See what it looks like when I got it layered!  I adhered the outside cross die with snail adhesives, directly onto the stamped cross.  I then cut mini dimensionals in half & attached them to the center of the stamped cross.
  • I then took my scissors & fussy cut out around the cross/vine/leaves image.
  • And then used mini dimensionals on the back side of the cross & stuck it onto the card front- in the upper right corner of the Happy Easter wording.  
Have a SPECIAL Sunday!
Blessings-

But don't delay too long in ordering this if you want them sooner than later!!  
WOO HOO......check out today's card!!!  Last night I whipped up this quick card for today's post.  I had this Flirty Flamingo lattice base, in my scrap box....and decided it would go great with this flowery Ornate Garden DSP!  

I learned to do this lattice fold many years ago! It was probably one of the first technique type things I ever did. I remember adding a little piece of cardstock to the inside of the card, behind the lattice, to make it complete!  Humm.....my mind still thinks that way I guess, because as soon as I added the card stock inside the card- "I was pleased with how it all seemed to pull together"!
So I think that is gorgeous!  Don't you think so too?

You can't tell by the photo, but I added Wink of Stella onto all of the White Flowers in this DSP on the card front.  
stamp set: 'Ornate Thanks'
card stock:
  • Flirty Flamingo- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base
  • Old Olive- 5 1/2 x 1 1/2"- score at 3/4" (in middle); 3 1/4 x 5 1/4"; 1 x 3 1/2"
  • Whisper White- 2" strip- stamp words onto & cut out with die; 3 1/4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card
designer paper:  Ornate Garden Specialty DSP-
ink:  Old Olive
other:  Big Shot; Magnetic Platform; Ornate Layers Die; Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo (Old Olive); Basic Pearls; Paper Snips; dimensionals; glue dots; Wink of Stella
Over the years I have posted a few lattice cards on my blog.
You can click on the links below to see those cards that I created!
And.....after I got this all ready for my blog post, I decided I had better go back & recreate the steps on how I did the lattice.  As now I hope you'll want to make one too!  
Just keep reading.......and let me show you how you can make a lattice edge card like this!

How did I do it?
**If you would like the lattice template I used, you can click on this link to get it!   
Susie's Template
  •  5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base. 
  • Take a paper template & put along the FOLDED edge for the card front.  I used paper clips to keep it in place.
  •  With your scissors, CUT on all of the lines, on the template.  
  • Open up your card & lay it down, with the FRONT of the card up- like this.
  • Then you will FOLD down each of the tabs.  It will look like this!  Notice how you have a triangle top/point in between each tab you fold down.  You want to make sure you have those triangle points- so be sure it looks like how I have mine folded down as shown in the photo!
  • With your scissors snip off this bottom tab.
  • It will then look like this at the bottom of your card.  BE SURE that you SAVE this tab.......as you are going to glue it onto the top, front of the card next!
  • Add glue to the tab like this.
  • Put it directly onto the top front of the card.  It will then look like this photo, once you have glued it on.
  • Now take each one of the tabs (yes all of them) & tuck them downwards, so that they are now underneath the triangle top points.  It will then look like this photo when you have them all tucked down. 
  • Then fold the card base in half again.  This is what it looks like now that you have gotten your lattice fold done!!  YAY!
  • So those of you that stamp with me each month, know that I'm type A.  Yup....and I just thought I had to add this 5 1/2 x 1 1/2" strip to the inside of the lattice to make my card complete.  So I score this strip down the center (at the 3/4" mark).
  • I open the card back up.....add a little bit of adhesive to the center (as shown).  I chose to use liquid glue again to do this.  And then I add this folded strip inside this lattice.
  • This is what the inside of the card will now look like with this strip glued into it!
  • Fold your card shut & this is what the outside of your lattice card will now look like!  
  • You are ready to finish it, by decorating it however you choose to do!
WOO HOO!!  

I hope you have fun making a lattice card!

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

A fun z fold card using the Ornate Garden Suite!

But don't delay too long in ordering this if you want them sooner than later!! 
Wow!  Wow!  Wow!  This card is just sooo pretty!!!
It is another totally Susie card!

Check out this awesome z fold card!!  I just am totally in love with it!!  It is bright, cheery & spring like!!  This is just what we all need right now in our lives are positive & cherry things huh!
The cool part about this card is that you use a sheet of 6" DSP & cut it into strips!  Look at it when it opened up!  See how the patterns in the DSP match up, with just a little card stock (card base) showing between each strip!  

This is super cool fold to do with patterned paper like this!!  Isn't that just so neat!! 

How did I do it?
  • 6 x 5 1/4" DSP
  • Cut at 2 3/4" & 3 7/8".
  • This leaves you 3 DSP panels that are- 
  1. 5 1/4" x 2 3 3/4"
  2. 5 1/4" x 1 1/8"
  3. 5 1/4" x 2 1/8"
  • You then adhere the first DSP panel to the front of card folded back edge.  IMPORTANT- Make sure you have your card base scored & folded back.  The whole DSP panel doesn't adhere down, just the left edge of it does.  The DSP panel will fit perfectly onto the card- just leaving a 1/4" edge on the card front & a 1/4" edge along the card base!
  • You then adhere the second DSP panel to the inside front side- along the center fold.
  • You then adhere the third DSP panel to the inside back side- along the center fold.
  • You then add a piece of card stock for your sentiment that is 5 1/4" x 1 3/4"
Size & measurements of your DSP.
DSP= 6 x 5 1/4"- CUT at 2 3/4" & 3 7/8" to make the 3 DSP panel strips.
stamp sets:  'Ornate Thanks' (for outside words) & 'A Big Thank You' (for inside words)
card stock:
  • Terracotta Tile- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 1 1/2" & 4 1/4"- for card base; 2 3/4" strip- die cut Scalloped Circle; 1" strip- die cut flower
  • Whisper White- 2 3/4" strip- stamp words onto & die cut using the Stitched Circle Die; 3" strip- die cut Scalloped Circle; 5 1/2 x 1" strip- die cut edge
  • Old Olive- l 1/2" strip- punch out leaf
  • Daffodil Delight- 5 1/4 x 1 3/4"- for inside of card, stamp sentiment onto; 1" strip- die cut flower
  • Blushing Bride- 1" strip- die cut flower
designer paper:  6 x 5 1/4"- cut at 2 3/4" & 3 7/8"- to make 3 panels
ink:  Early Espresso
other:  Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, Ornate Border Dies; Layering Circles Dies; Stitched Shapes Dies (Circle); Leaf Punch, Gilded Gems, Ornate Garden Combo Ribbon- Terracotta Tile- 6"; dimensionals, glue dots

My dear friend Linda T., sent me a pretty Easter card that had different DSP panels in it.  So bless her for inspiring me to make this card!

Yikes- don't look too closely at my thumb & hand in the photo.  I have Early Espresso ink on me!  OH well.....guess you can just tell I'm a stamper huh!

I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!!
Happy Stamping!

This card is one that I made a few weeks ago to swap with some of my demonstrator friends from all over the US.  You can't hardly tell by the photo, but if you look closely- maybe you'll notice it.....I used the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder on the Terracotta Tile card stock, that is behind the Early Espresso die cut frame. 
 Look how pretty this die cut is!   It is just a gorgeous Frame!

And this ribbon is yummy!  It ties so easily!  And I love the color of it!  It is Terracotta Tile- which is one of my favorite colors!
Here is a pile of my cards.  I made 24 of them to swap!
You know that I love yellow flowers!  And especially daisies!  And fallish colors......so this is the look I went with for this card!  I love the way it turned out!  This is a totally Susie card. 

Check out the narrow/long stitched Rectangle die that goes perfectly with the words too!  And how do you like the font of the words?  I think they are pretty neat!  This whole suite is just so cool huh!
