Hey....So Hoppy Card

Hello everyone from the frozen tundra, Iowa!

The view from my craft room window, beautiful from the inside!

Ok, so today I made this card inspired by Linda Bedinger from YouTube. I thought it was so cute and I decided to case her card with my take on it.

Here are the general supplies and directions.

Supplies I used:

8.5" by 11" Whisper White Cardstock, cut to 5.5" and score at 4.25", folded

5.25" by 4" Piece of Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock

Rectangle Stitched Dies

5.25" by 1" of Gingham Gala DSP

Memento Ink, Black

Dimensionals

Blendable markers, Dark and Light Granny Apple, Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Balmy Blue, Dark Crumb Cake, Dark and Light Smokey Slate.

5mm. Wiggle Eyes from your local craft store.

Stamp Sets- So Hoppy Together and Amazing Life

Directions:

After you have folded your base, take your Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock and die cut with the rectangle dies, I used the largest one from the smaller collection of dies on whisper white and the one all by itself that measures 1.78" by 1.38" for the Lemon Lime Twist.

Next, stamp your frog images onto a piece of scrap Whisper White and on the Stitched Rectangle piece.

Color in with your blendable markers.

After you are finished with your coloring, fussy cut the two frogs out from the scrap piece.

Stamp "Hey" on a 1/2" strip of Whisper White 3 times and cut into little banners.

Before you adhere the cardstock to the front of the card, position the frogs to see how you want them to peek out the windows and add a dimensional to the back of one frog and adhere it to the base card for the bottom window, then adhere your cardstock piece and add the other frog into the top window with dimensionals.

Add the banners, I added a color one, your choice of preference. Now, add your wiggle eggs to the frogs, so cute!

I added an inside sentiment from the Amazing Life stamp set.

This card is for my granddaughter for her continued success in archery. I'm off to make another one for my grandson, he is doing well in archery as well!

I hope you enjoyed my card and I would love to see your cards that you create with this fun stamp set, So Hoppy Together.

Beautiful Butterfly Gala Card

I thought I would blog about my new card I created this past week using the new stamp set, Butterfly Gala and the new Rectangle Stitched framelit dies that are bundled with the Amazing Life stamp set. All new from Stampin’ Up! In their new 2019 Occasions catalog.

The following directions are the basic instructions to make out of any color combo you are choosing.

1 piece of Whisper White cardstock cut at 5.5" and scored at 4.25" as the base.

Using the largest rectangle stitched die, cut out a rectangle from Daffodil Delight or any color cardstock.

Using the 3rd largest rectangle stitched die, cut one out of Whisper White cardstock.

On the white rectangle die piece, stamp in Daffodil Delight ink, or the color of your choice, use the largest circles and the splatter stamps from Beauty Abounds stamp set. I stamped in the middle to fill in the space to my liking.

Cutting from the new Botanical Butterfly DSP, choose a butterfly to match or contrast with the ink you used. I punched mine out with the new Butterfly duet punch.

Before I added the butterfly, I added some silver metallic thread wrapped in a circle using some snail and then added the butterfly with some liquid mono adhesive.

You can now add a sentiment of your choosing if you wish on the front and on the inside for whatever occasion you are sending the card for.

And for fun, I used the matching 6 x 6 DSP Gingham Gala paper for the flap on the envelope.

If you want to make similar cards, I have included the links to the products I used so that you can purchase from my online store.

Have a wonderful week!
