PAPER SALE!!
Craft Fairs and More!
Greetings Carfty Fam-Jam! Hope you are all staying well and creative!
It's been a busy few weeks, with multiple Craft Fairs happening and my husband's business changing for the better :) Thankful for the time to finally sit down in the office to get some Bloggin Done lol.
I belong to several Card Swap groups, and this swap was using the split circle card technique. I REALLY like how these turned out. There aren't usually a lot of Masculine/Neutral Cards done so that's what I have been focusing on. I used 2 of the new In-Colours and 1 returning colour for the recent colour refresh.

Happy WEEKEND!!!! + a tip
It's weekend fun time!!
I've spent the last couple days getting my Mother's Day cards finished and Father's day Cards started. I have 3 Fairs coming up SUPER Quick!
I also wanted to share a tip that I often forget not everyone knows...
DID YOU KNOW...That you can use Alcohol Markers (or alcohol inks) to Colour your Embellishments?
Ever had a project you're working on that needs a little Sparkle or Bling and you just can't find the right colour? YES. YES YES.
One of the properties of Alcohol ink is that it can colour non-porous things. Like Vellum, metal, metal charms, plastic and Rhinestones!
Then I wanted to do some Spot-colouring for the card I was giving my Parents for their 37th Anniversary 💝 Love my Stampin Blends for how easy they are to colour with and for easy shading. (My folks loved the card btw ^^)
Have a GREAT Weekend everyone and Happy Mother's Day!
ALL Moms! Mothers, Grandmothers, Dog Mamas, Kitty Mamas, Bonus Moms and all the Mom's whose babies grew wings too soon... You're ALL Moms and deserve to be Celebrated!

NEW CLASS ANNOUNCEMENT!
Playing with the Irresistible Blooms Online Exclusive Suite!
Hi Crafty Fam-Jam!! I KNOW it's been forever since I have posted... but I'm here now!!
I don't know about you all... but I make SO many cards and a lot of them just sit in boxes. I have been working on sending out 3+ cards a week to brighten people's days.
I belong to several Card Swap groups on Facebook. Definitely helps me send out goodies as well as challenge myself to sign up and try new designs and techniques.
The card I am featuring today is for my Swap Partner Judy 💕
It's called a "Pop-Out Gate Fold Card"
I was inspired by Wendy Cranford's online YouTube tutorial, she's a USA Based Demonstrator and has wonderful videos and tutorials. Highly recommend checking her out 😀
I embraced the colours in the DSP and used Lost Lagoon Cardstock for my card base. I used HELLO, IRRESISTIBLE 6" X 6" Designer Series paper for the outside and inside panels. Then the Stamp set for the floral design and sentiment. The original project calls for 4 pieces 1 7/8 x 5 3/8... but seeing as the DSP is 6x6 I can't get 4 out of the 1 sheet. Of course you can cut into a 2nd sheet, but I used that as an opportunity to add another space to write a note or greeting. I also used the scraps to make a thin Belly Band to keep the card closed.
I'll be creating a Project Sheet soon and linking to it when complete.

Now that the new Catalog has gone LIVE you can order the Lost Lagoon Cardstock and all the other NEW and RETURNING colours! Stampin Up just had a colour refresh. There are many new colours to love but with that comes colours we are sad to say good bye to. Oh well!
