Corner Pop Up Card Valentines Day Card

Fancy Fold pop up card. I made one of these for Easter last year so I decided to make a Valentines Day Card.
Very Easy Card to create just using an 8" x 8" piece of heavy card stock.
The Designer paper is from BoBunny's Charmed Collection.
It was so pretty on its own that I hated to over decorate it.
I used the new stamp and die set from Stampin' Up called Meant to Be.
It is a beautiful set with wonderful stamped images and dies. I used the decorative
heart for the inside and stamped a little sentiment in the middle of the heart.
On the front, I used the "scattered" hearts.
I made a belly band measuring at 1" x 9" and used the same stamp set.
The dies I've had for some time so I'm not sure where I found those.




 

Trifold (shutter) Valentines card

My challenge this year is to make as many Fancy Fun Fold Cards as I can.
Starting off the year with a trifold (shutter) Valentines card.
It is a variation of the one I made a year ago.
Making the “u” shaped panels was challenging but with practice I got it.
I cased this idea from Pinterest.
I used My Mind's Eyes Designer Paper Pad called "Bliss".
The flowers were die cut from one of the sheets from the same paper pack.
The flower die came from Crafters Companion Flower Die.
Sentiment came from Stampin' Up Meant to Be Stamp Set.

Notepad with Pen Holder

For the start of 2019, I have been adding items to my store. I decided on notepads with a pen holder.
They make such a great gift idea and I make mine with a lot of personality.
Each one has something unique about them.
The first one is using up some retired Stampin Up Carried Away Paper and My Favorite Things
Up In the Air Hot Air Balloon.
What fun colors that would brighten anyone's day.
I can see this notepad given to someone that is retiring, going on a trip, or vacation.
I used Stampin Up Night of Navy cardstock for the base.
