Fun Fact Friday ~ Birthday in the Grove

Fun Fact Friday, Happy Birthday /

Did you know that there are over 60 different species of deer worldwide. That’s a lot right? And deer are present on all continents except Antarctica. They can live in a range of habitats, from mountainous areas to warm and wet rainforests. And here I just thought they loved the forest like in my card today. Just hanging out in the grove.

This background and cute deer are from the Grove dies, which also has a matching stamp set, Grassy Grove. I just thought it would be fun to use the dies and create a silhouette outline for my forest seen. I created my forest background by using a Blending Brush, some Granny Apple Green ink for the grassy part and some Highland Heather for the nightfall.

I love the large forest die in this set and I used Basic Black cardstock to create a silhouette effect, making a perfect addition to enhance my background. This is actually a birthday card for a dear friend, but it would also make a great thinking of you card.

Check out these dies and the coordinating stamp set!

Happy Stamping!

Fun With Triangles ~ Weekly Wed. #25

Happy Birthday, Paper Crafting Ideas, Stamping Techniques /

Happy Wednesday. It is time again to create a card together and today we are having fun with triangles. Now I was never big on geometry but working with these triangles, cardstock and designer series paper was fun. If only I would have been able to paper craft for geometry in high school. I might have enjoyed my math classes more. I hope you enjoy today’s video!

Now like I said geometry was not my thing and to be honest I am not really big on numbers but trust me this design is super simple. All you need is a 3 x 4 piece of designer series paper and a 3-1/4 x 4-1/4 piece of coordinating cardstock. Cut both pieces on the diagonal, layer them up and tada, you have a fun triangle card.

My card base is Crumb Cake and my border pieces are Early Espresso. I also stamped the greeting from Sweetly Scripted (an online exclusive) in Early Espresso ink. You can have fun creating with different designer series patterns and colored cardstock like in the example below.

In my second cards I used the Flowering Zinnias designer series paper (also an online exclusive), a Melon Mambo card base, added a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel and Blackberry Bliss accent triangles. I stamped my greeting with Blackberry Bliss ink and wow, a totally different card look. Happy Stamping!

  • Pretty Peacock Ink
  • Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set

That is all for our Weekly Wednesday video for making a fast and easy birthday card in less than five minutes. Really the hardest part of this card is making sure your cardstock to be embossed is straight and does not shift in the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine. Once you have your faux ribbon pieces cut your future cards will be that much quicker! Happy Stamping!

Bubble Up Technique ~ Make It Monday #166

Congratulations-Graduation-Retirement, Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos, Stamping Techniques, Thank You /

Today I am excited to share with you a technique I am calling Bubble Up! It is a fun technique that uses bubbles and re-inkers. There are several videos on the internet using dishwashing soap, water, and re-inkers. I just found it a bit easier to use already prepared bubble from the dollar store. I hope you enjoy this fun technique. It is certainly one you can do outside with your kids this summer.

Happy Monday….Did you know that modern scrapbooking first emerged in 1800 when photography was invented. Scrapbooking is still popular today because it is all about expressing one’s thoughts, feelings and sentiments. It’s about preservation of memories and special moments, and recording family stories. Scrapbooks were cherished and kept by families for many years. Welcome to our Close to My Heart Friends!
