Happy Birthdaisy

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I have a cute card to share using products from Dare 2B Artzy!!

I have never created a Spanner Panel Card before, so I decided to finally take the time to create one!  You can find directions here.

I just love how this card turned out:

Featured the adorable NEW Oopsie Daisies stamp set on this card! I just love the adorable bear!


A look as you open the card:

How fun is that?!!

The sentiment can't been seen when the top panels are closed, but is visible once the top panel is lifted!  So neat!  Under this panel, I added some layers of paper and plan to add another birthday type sentiment and then room for a hand written message.

I used some awesome NEW papers from the Feelin' Groovy Collection!!

D2BA Products Used:

Stamp: Oopsie Daisies, Happy Sentiments

Dies: Oopsie Daisies, Double Dot Circle Framelits

Paper: Groovy Blooms, Peace & Love, Good Vibes

YNS January Preview

Hello Stamping Friends!

 It's preview day at Your Next Stamp!!!
Which means tomorrow is release day!!

This time of the month is always so exciting!!

--------------------

Today I am featuring the new Beary Special stamp set!!

It is so very adorable!!  Made me think of my sweet daughter!!

So I created this card with her in mind:

I used the coordinating Beary Special Die Set to die cut my panda bear out after coloring with my Copics.  My daughter loves panda bears!

I used the Circles with Stitching and Piercing Marks Die Set to die cut a circle from white cardstock, which I embossed with one of my heart embossing folders!  I then used the Doily Trio Two Die Set to die cut one of the doilies to put behind the embossed layer!

So fun and cute!!

Can't wait to share with you my projects for release day tomorrow!!!!

Christmas Delivery

Hello Stamping Friends!

 I am on the Your Next Stamp Blog today sharing how to create the a fun "Stand-Up" Card with the Half Circle Flip Die Set!

If you missed me sharing how to create a fun Flip-It card using the set, you can find it here.

Today I am sharing an alternate use for it!  You can also use this die set to create a fun stand-up cards as well!!

Once again I started by creating my A2 card base. (8 1/2" x  5 1/2") Scored at 4 1/4".

Lay down card base and find the center of the left half of the card base, which is 2 1/8″.

Similar to the Flip-It card, I decided to use the larger of the two dies from the Half Circle Flip Die Set.  As I really like that you can use the Circles with Stitching and Piercing Marks Die Set with it.

This is where the tutorial slightly changes from the Flip-It, when you place your cardstock in your die cutting machine, place the die just over the marks you created, with the circle facing to the right!

Run the die through your machine.

Once you take it out, fold the left side over to the right on the score line, like a normal card.

The you will fold along the score lines the die created, folding the piece so that is folds inside.  

So that the circle will "stand up"!  Like this....

 Now you are ready to decorate your fun card!!

Here is my finished card:

 I used the super adorable new Christmas Delivery stamp for my main image!!  I just love this sweet image!

I added some Gumdrops to the "inside" of the card, so that it would help keep the "stand-up" portion up.

I stamped the "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas" to the inside of my card, which is part of the Santa's Magical Sleigh stamp set!

So super fun and easy to create!  Something a little different then the traditional card!
