WHAT'S UP WEDNESDAY

A little old and a little new.

I thought I would share a card today using the Textures and Frames FREE Sale-a-bration stamp set since SAB ends on Thursday.

I stamped the filled circles two times and the open circle once with Pale Papaya. The open rectangle is stamped with Succulent Sage. 

 Then I glued some left over pieces from my Paper Pumpkin Hope kit on top of the circles.  The message is from a really old retired set.

  

The spots are stamped with Crushed Curry.

There are some clever things you can do with this simple stamp set.  Check them out on Pinterest.

Come back on Friday for a fun fold little treat box.

 MAKE IT MONDAY (on Tuesday)

I have been trying to update my turn style card rack to sell some cards. Here is one I came up with using current products.

The card base is Crushed Curry.  The DSP layer is Beauty of  the Earth DSP. 

The tree and the bird are from the Beautiful Trees Dies.

 The "hello" is stamped on a die from Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

The deer is the Deer Builder Punch on pg 26 of the Mini Catalog.  This can be purchased separately or as a bundle with the Peaceful Deer  Stamp Set.  The deer also lines up with the deer on the FREE 

Peaceful Prints DSP in the Sale-a-bration Catalog. The Be Dazzling DSP and the sheep dies are already gone.

Sale-a-bration ends in two days so don't forget to get your order in.  The 

 FUN FOLD FRIDAY

I'm not sure what this fold is called, but I just watched a video by Leena Girsa.  This was my first try at one of these cards.

 I used the Sweet As a Peach Stamp Set and matching You're A Peach DSP from the Annual Catalog.

This card is 3D, but can be pushed flat for mailing. 

 

There is a blank sheet on the back of the card for your message and note.

The messages I used on the front and on the back are from retired sets.  You can use anything you have that works for you. I am anxious to try a few more with different stamps and paper.  What about you?

Just a reminder that Sale-a-bration ends Sept 30th. Some FREE items are already gone so don't wait to place your order.

Here are the dimensions for the card:

Base - 4 1/4 x 9, scored at 5 1/2, 6 1/2, 7 1/2, 8 1/2

Large DSP piece - on base - 4 3/8 x 4 1/8 (this is just to leave a very small margin around the edge.)      You can cut slightly smaller if you want a larger edge of cardstock showing.

DSP strip - 4 1/8 x 7/8

Cardstock that pops up - 5 1/2 x 3, scored at 4 and 5 

DSP for pop up part - 3 3/8 x 2 7/8

I used one of the dies for my white message layer and also stamped a few flowers from the set on the    corners.

I am going to include the link to Leena's video here.  You have to fast forward through a couple of other cards she showed to get to the assembly of this card. thanks to Leena for this fun card.

 WHAT'S UP WEDNESDAY

A little old and a little new:

The card vase is Very Vanilla. The DSP is a retired piece.  The sparkle paper is the Be Dazzling 6 x6 FREE SAB paper, sprayed with Old Olive.

 To do this put some 90% alcohol in a spritzer and add a few drops of Old Olive reinker.  then lightly spray your Be Dazzling paper.  If you want to use it right away, you can dry it with the heat gun.

To do the leaves, I used Pale Papaya, Rich Razzleberry and Pear Pizazz, sponged onto the back of the leaves that were left over from the September Paper Pumpkin kit. then I stamped the veins with Cajun Craze, Old Olive, and Rich Razzleberry.

The sequins are left over from another Paper Pumpkin kit.  The message is from a retired set.

Even though I have way too many retired items, I like that I am able to dig into my supplies and pull out things I can use to make a project.
