Peek-a-Boo! Penguin Playmates

This adorable paper is pictured on page 4 of the Sale-A-Bration brochure! I created this card the circles from the new Picture This Dies on page 164 in the 2021-2022 annual catalog.

Just use the dies to crop the circles from Fresh Freesia cardstock and from the Penguin Playmates DSP, cut whatever cute adorable playmate you want to peek through the circles of your card.

My husband and I took a road trip to Perryopolis, PA and we stayed at an adorable Airbnb in Urbana Ohio. It was Monument Square Suites if you want to look it up.

It’s Cookin’ Time!

2 Comments / Just Because Cards, Paper Crafting Ideas / July 14, 2021

This card truly does look much better in person. It is very hard to capture the 3-D look in a picture. While it was not a super fast card, a little more fussy at times, it was so much fun to create.

I used the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper, which by the way is on sale through August 2nd. Save 15% and this is such a great deal because this is a big paper pack with lots of choices. CLICK HERE for pdf of DSP on sale.

I do love to cook and bake, but my kids will tell you I have been known not to follow a recipe. LOL. My daughter often asks for my recipes but get so frustrated with me at my lack of detailed instructions. I really can’t help it, I truly do just add a little of this and a little of that! You won’t see a cooking video from me anytime soon. LOL

For the bowl I stamped two images and cut the front part of the bowl off one image, added the utensils and then attached the second bowl to add dimension.
Use Soft Suede cardstock to crop cutting board and tie a piece of twine in the top.
Attach DSP strip (3/8×2) to the upper section of the card, add utensils and Matte Black Dots. I colored the metal spatula and whisk with a Dark Gray Granite Stampin’ Blend marker.

Hello-You’re a Peach!

2 Comments / Just Because Cards, Paper Crafting Ideas / July 7, 2021 / Artistically Inked, Designer Series Paper

Todays card features the You’re A Peach Designer Series paper pack and I am excited to share that it is on sale! So now is the time to stock up on your favorites!

I started my card with a Basic White card base and cut a strip of You’re a Peach Designer Series Paper that measures 2¾ x 12. I used the second largest Stitched so Sweetly dies to cut out the peach side of the paper and the largest to cut out a panel of Calypso Coral.

I trimmed the remaining strip to measure 5½ and flipped it over so the blue side was showing and layered it on the left side of the card front. I then layered the peach rectangles to the card front.

I again used the Stitched So Sweetly dies and cropped the second smallest using Basic White cardstock, stamped the greeting on it in Calypso Coral ink and attached it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Cutting Measurements

All Measurement=inches CS=Cardstock DSP=Designer Series Paper Landscape Position=Long side Portrait Position=short side
