Days To Remember Calendar

Wow! I am so sorry it has been so long since my last blog post and video tutorial. I have been busy working with my sister at the Ford Dealership in Florence, Oregon since her office helper quit. Fortunately, I worked with her last summer learning the job and then training the person that recently quit. Now I am training the new lady and then go back to being retired and making craft projects.

My mind has also been preoccupied with concern for my great granddaughter who was born in March of this year. She was in the hospital for a month and just got out last week. She is on the road to recovery and is doing great. She is still on oxygen and is on a couple of different medications, but is improving every day. I praise God every for her continued improvement.

Back to this little project. I wanted to show you how to use the Days To Remember stamp set, so I created this calendar to demonstrate it. I think I told you that you would have to pay $18 for the Pattern Party DSP, but you can get it for free with $180 in party sales by using your 10% in Stampin' Rewards that you will earn. It is beautiful paper and there are 48 sheets of 12x12 paper in the packet.

True Love DSP Cards

 I'm so sad to see this True Love Designer Series Paper retire with the end of the 2020-2021 annual catalog. I decided to show you a few examples of how I used one of the black and white flower patterns. There are so many ways this DSP can be used. I created a YouTube video showing you a few examples of what I did. Click on the link below.

Vine Design Thank You Card

I used the Vine Design Bundle to create this card. It is the Mini Catalog and is available for purchase (while supplies last) until the end of June. I thought it turned out lovely and was very easy to make.

If you are interested in creating this card, I have included a list of the supplies and dimensions below. I also included a line below to my YouTube video tutorial. I used only the light Stampin' Blends to color the die cut.

Have a blessed day and have fun crafting.

Butterflies & Flowering Bloom Card

 

I haven't used the Flowering Blooms stamp set in a while so I thought I would pair it with the Butterfly Bijou DSP. I love the way this card went together and it was very easy to create. I demonstrate in my video how to color the flower to get the shading. This DSP is so beautiful and fun to play with. I hope you like this card as much as I do. Have a blessed day and have fun crafting.

Butterfly Brilliance In a Jar

As I was looking at this particular piece of Butterfly Bijou DSP, It made me think of catching butterflies with a net and putting them in a jar. I left the lid off the jar because I wanted the butterflies to be able to get out. I had the Mason Jar Shaker Domes and thought they would look really cute on the card with a butterflies in them. These cards will have to be hand delivered because they will cost more to mail. Have fun stamping and have a blessed day!

Butterfly Brilliance Cards

I created these really simple cards using the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle and the Butterfly Bijou 6x6 designer series paper. I wasn't sure what I was going to make with them until I started cutting and pasting. I like the fact that there are so many different colors in the DSP to choose from and they all coordinate so well together. I hope you have as much fun as I did when you start creating with yours.

Following is the list of products and sizes I used to create the Misty Moonlight version:
