Greatest Journey

 Hello, my stamping friend!

Today is a very special day! It is my daughter's Birthday. Sophia is 25! She is amazing young lady and we are so proud of her. Still it is hard to believe I have 25 year old kid!

I made one of a kind card for this occasion. Sophia loves outdoor and backpacking. The Greatest Journey suite was perfect!

It is relatively simple outside. But has a WOW inside:

We made similar card last week during Facebook Live. Watch a replay:

The designer paper is a star here.

Happy Stamping!

Hello Irresistible Funky Fold Card Part 2

 Hello, my stamping friend!

Last week during FB live we created very fun fold using half sheet of DSP. I recreated this fold using Hello, Irresistible designer paper. The paper is just 6 by 6, and I altered this fold to use 2 sheets of the DSP

The sentiments are stamped, the flowers and leaves are die cut from the DSP.

When open:

You can see both sides of this beautiful paper!

Measurements:

  • DSP: (2) 4 1/2 x 5 1/2"; score at 1/2" on 4 1/2" side; die cut flower and leaves
  • Pretty Peacock: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2"; 3 x 3"
  • Basic white: 3 3/5 x 5 1/2" (for inside); largest stitched square. 
  • Gold Foil: scraps for die cutting; 

If you missed the instructions - watch the video (this card starts at 20 min mark)


Here is another version of this card. I used second largest stitched square for the center and layered in on the pretty peacock CS and gold foil.

By the Bay Creative Escape Recap

 Hello, my stamping friend!

The in-person Creative Escape was a lot of fun! This was a full day ( 11 am - 5pm) of creativity, pampering and good times! It included a goodie bag full of new supplies, 3 pillow gifts, 10 gorgeous projects, lunch and refreshments. And the most important fun time with amazing friends!

I was looking for a bag and pillow gifts that will be very useful. Instead of a bag I packaged all goodies in a Night of Navy baskets decorated with a cute tag.

Those baskets will be perfect for organization in the craft room!

The pillow gift #1 was a cute little holder with a snow puff paint. This will be perfect to create waves!

The pillow gift #2 was a shell like ceramic plate with candy and a star fish decoration clip. Everybody absolutely loved it!

The pillow gift #3 was a decorated gold pizza box with a key chain:

I ordered key chainparts and shell charms on Amazon and my husband helped me to assemble them. I made a custom insert to hold the key chain in place.

Here is a frame we made as a part of the Creative Escape.

It was defiantly a labor of love and took few weeks to prep for. Now I can not wait to do it again - tentatively in June!

I am offering a smaller version of the Creative escape as a Class to go.

Check By the Bay Class To go.

 The tutorial with all 10 projects is also available.
