Hump Day Lunch Break – Terrific Toadstools

February 5, 2025 / Beth / 0 Comments

Today’s featured stamp set is Terrific Toadstools. I just can’t seem to get enough of the stamp set. I think the paper really inspires me as well. We used one piece of 6″ x 6″ Designer paper and some cardstock to create 3 adorable cards.

Each Wednesday I do a Facebook either at lunch or dinner time where you can join me for a bit of crafting fun. It’s like Dinner and a Movie.

I joke around quite a bit about not following directions, its not that I can’t. I just inspire myself each time I make a card- even if it is the same card. In these before and after pictures- you can see I just added dimensionals and some Sunny Dots to the cards.

Check out the video for the measurements!

Hump Day Lunch Break – Otterly Amazing and Friendly Seagulls

January 16, 2025 / Beth / 0 Comments

Isn’t this just the sweetest stamp set? And I love that is has coordinating dies with it! This is one of Stampin’ up!s newer Online Exclusive products. In fact it has a whole suite of products that coordinate with it!

I Many Many Moons ago when I was in high school I did a Otter Sculpture from clay and also a hand drawn sketch of an otter. I loved Art class, I always did (even more than recess!) So when I saw this bundle, I knew I had to have it and share it with you all.

I did not even use the Designer Paper with todays card can you believe it? the card base is Pretty Peacock cardstock measured at 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ folded in half (or scored at 4-1/4″) . I made the frame from Basic White Cardstock using the Perennial Postage dies. I cut Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Pool Party card stock to 2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ and embossed it with the So Swirly embossing folder. I stamped the otters, colored with Pecan Pie Blends, then used the coordinating dies to cut out and to make the embossed cardstock look like waves. You can check out the video below from my YouTube Channel. Below that is the supplies I used that are available in my Online Store.

When you spend $60 (in US) in my Online store, you can get this Friendly Seagulls stamp set for FREE from Stampin’ Up! This is actually the card that inspired my Otter card, I found it on Pinterest but the person that created it did not have their name so I can’t give credit where credit is due.

December 6, 2024 / Beth / 0 Comments

In this week’s virtual class, we created 3 different cards using 1 layout just by changing out the Stamp Sets and cardstock being used. Each week I host a virtual class that you can receive the class kit for free with an order in my Online store of $35 before shipping and tax using that weeks host code. This week’s host code link is: 4JMES33J

Here is the Layout I selected – pretty simple and I just switched out the Designer paper and Stamp sets/bundles I used.
