CAS #576 - Christmas Thank You



 Hello!

Tonight’s card was inspired from the color challenge at  CAS Colours and Sketches #576.  




I decided to make a Thank You card that would be simple to make and reproduce.  This card is an A1 size, measuring 4 7/8x 3 1/2 inches.  The stamps and sentiment are from Stampin Up’s Little Delights Set.  

I cut 3-small postage stamp die cuts and then stamped the lights.  To space as evenly as possible, I positioned the center die cut first and then added the left and right.  The diecuts were anchored along a leftover strip of Cherry Cobbler card stock.  

The sentiment was stamped in Cherry Cobbler (SU) ink.  

Thanks for stopping by! - Valerie Kaye

Easter Fun Fold

Hello!  I saw a great technique today, that is a Z - fold card with a cross design. The card technique is from Lynn Dunn.  She has both a video and a very helpful download with all the measurements.  Thanks Lynn!  This is a great card for many occasions!  What I like about this design is that the cross is very prominent by the Z-Fold. You can find Lynn’s link:  (Here)   One of the most helpful tools for this project is a simple engineering ruler.  I watched a video from Jennifer McGuire a while back, and it’s a tool she uses often.   I ordered it, and it makes life so much easier.  This ruler is easy to read with all of the markings.  It has both metric and standard markings. (Amazon Link) I looked through my papers and made this card with Stampin Up’s Thoughtful Journey DSP.   The embossed cross pattern is from an Anna Griffin - Border embossing folder.  The pattern is called Blooming Damask.   The sentiment is from ...

Positively Peanuts!

 Hello!  The current challenge for the Double D Blog is Love and friendship.   To join in on the challenge: click the link  (HERE) I couldn’t think of a better friendship than Snoopy and Woodstock’s!  I was gifted the Creative Stamping Magazine, issue 156 from my Sister In Law!  I had kind of given up on these stamps, and she happened to see the magazine sitting on the shelf in the bookstore, and was nice to gift me the magazine.   To create this shaker card, I used a frame cutting die from the Past Unity Stamps Whit Kit (No Place Like Home).  I stacked  2 - panels for the top, and 4 - panels for the bottom, using Unity’s Basic Black cards stock. The bottom frame was glued to a slightly larger frame cutting die from Coastal Cabana card stock (SU). The hearts were added from a mini paper punch, with a few extra small beads.   Snoopy and Woodstock were stamped with Versa fine onyx black ink, colored and fussy cut.  I stamped the senti...

Blue Door Wreath

 Hello! Today was the first day I played with my Greetery, Shortbread Embossing Folder!   My parents usually visit close to the Holidays to celebrate a birthday and exchange gifts with one another.   My Mom graciously gave me a card with money, so I online shopped with the Greetery to pick up some things I had been eyeing.  (Thanks, Mom! ❤️) I started by cutting the Shortbread outline with the coordinating die first, then lining the the cut piece up and embossing as usual. For the card base, I cut a side folding A2 sized card.  I took the Shortbread Shapes die, letting the cutting edge hang off the crease.   I adhered the embossed panel on top, and trimmed the bottom edge. For the wreath: I started by cutting the outline with two nesting half circle dies, and taping one inside the other. Then I grabbed 3 -shades of scrap blue cardstock (Seaside Spray, Misty Moonlight, and Night of Navy) - SU and cut leaves from an older Concord and 9th Christmas Set. The fu...
