This is a very quick fun fold to make, by simply cutting a piece off the front of the card, then flipping it around and attaching it to the front! I used the Butterfly Brilliance Background stamp for this card – as it is quite a large stamp I used the Stamparatus to help me out.

While I am very fond of shabby chic/vintage style cards I don’t make them very often as I run out of ideas, however the ink sponging technique with a little water coloring is a great way to start. Read on to see the card and video on creating the honey bee.

As you know – I hate waste – and seeing those two ‘wild’ looking daffodils sitting on my work bench troubled me! so I pulled out some Basic Black card, did a touch of heat embossing and attached them to create this thank you card.
Continue readingToday’s card is a celebration card, I have used birthday but it would work equally as well for graduation or even a Father’s Day card. The Wish For Everything Stamp Set allows you to build up a greeting to meet whatever occasion you are celebrating.

So today I share, Sweet May Strawberries
Continue readingAs I explain in today’s video, Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Paper has designs on both side of each sheet, usually both sides a very pretty and you need to decide which one to have facing out and which to stick down to your card. Today’s fun fold showcases both sides of the paper so no decision necessary!

I hate waste so after a few days I was determined to do ‘something’ with it – and I really do like the result!
