Sweet Old Friends - Old Friends Are The Best Friends

Hello Stampers,

UGH! I'm so not ready for the triple digits that have started to creep in to say summer is here. Today I have a fun fold card for you called a Slide Out Card. Thanks to Karen Titus who has the instructions on her blog.

I started the card with a piece of Golden Glow Cardstock then added some Silly Old Bear DSP (I forgot to put it on the inside before I attached the slider part. OOPSIE!) I stamped Pooh & Piglet from the Sweet Old Friends Stamp Set & the sentiment from the Sweet Words & Labels Bundle using Memento Black Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock, coloring them in using Golden Glow, Barely Blush & Hydrangea Hue Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. I die-cut the focal image & the Early Espresso Cardstock layer using the Sweet Words & Labels Dies then placed it onto the larger side of the fun fold. The folded part was then placed onto an Early Espresso Cardstock card front.

Here is the picture of the slider part inside of the card. The sentiment comes from the Sending Salutations Stamp Set.

Monochromatic InstaHop - Hydrangea Hue

Hello Stampers,

It's been a long time since I've joined in on a Crafty Collaborations hop, but today I'm participating in a Monochromatic Insta Hop for Hydrangea Hue, *fingers crossed* that I've done everything correctly. EEK! to see all the projects head to my FB or Instagram page for the links.

I started this card with a Basic White Cardstock base, followed by a Hydrangea Hue Cardstock layer that was embossed using the Paradise Garden 3D Embossing Folder. For the rectangles, I used the Blossom Boutique DSP. I used the Scalloped Blooms Bundle for the sentiment with Hydrangea Hue Ink & die-cut it out using the dies. Lastly, I added a few 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies (Hydrangea Hue) to finish the card.

Balloon Festoon - Happy Birthday

Hello Stampers,

For today's card, I played around with the Balloon Festoon bundle & the new In Colors. Do you have a favorite yet? I'm leaning hard on the Hydrangea Hue & Barely Blush.

I started the card with a Basic White Cardstock layer, then used Blending Brushes with Peaceful Pine, Golden Glow, Crisp Cantaloupe, Barely Blush & Hydrangea Hue Inks to add color to where the balloons would be placed. Then used those same colors in cardstock to die-cut the balloons from the Balloon Festoon Dies & then added the stars using matching inks, along with die-cutting the strings from Basic White Cardstock. For the sentiment, I used one from the Balloon Festoon Stamp Set stamping with the retired Memento Black Ink onto Basic White Cardstock, then using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. Once I had this layer done, I added it to a Basic White Cardstock base.

Silly Safari - Happy Birthday

Hello Stampers,

Last week was a bit hectic for me & I didn't really get spend any time in my craft room, which was probably for the best since my brain just didn't seem to want to cooperate the one time I tried. Today's card uses a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches & I thought I'd give some ink time to a bundle that I think I've only used a couple of times.

I started this card with a Basic White Cardstock layer where I used a leaf stamp from the Silly Safari Bundle with Garden Green Ink to stamp all over it. I took a strip of Basic White Cardstock & used a sentiment from the retired December product of the month Fabulous Sayings Stamp Set with Garden Green Ink, adding the same leaf stamp to both edges & then added a small strip of Garden Green Cardstock to the bottom of the strip before adhering it to the background & a Garden Green Cardstock base. Next, I stamped 3 of the animals on a strip of Basic White Cardstock using Memento Black Ink, then used Pecan Pie, Gray Granite, Petal Pink & Medium Light Stampin' Blends to color in 2 of the animals before using the 

1-7/8" Circle Punch to make them into circles. I then used the 2" Circle Punch to cut out 3 circles from a Garden Green Cardstock strip. I glued 2 of the animals directly to the background then added Stampin' Dimensionals to the monkey circle.
