    First of the Fun Fold Cards, this is an easy one!

    First of the Fun Fold Cards Here is the First of the Fun Fold Cards. I want to say that this one is one of the EASY ones too! My favorite part is that you use a regular cardbase to start. If you have done any fun (fancy) folds you know that most take a TON of paper. You might need to start with 12 x 12 paper. UGGHH, right?? Not this one. What does that mean?? Well you still get two cards from one piece of 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock. Which is a win when you do not have a lot of colors or cardstock in…

    Thanks a bunch Sunflower Celebration.

    Thanks a bunch Sunflower I am a huge fan of the outline of this HUGE sunflower. For our Inky Whisper Sisters team meeting in August the theme was Melon Mambo. I did add Granny Apple Green and a little Flirty Flamingo. How do you think the thanks a bunch sunflower turned out? This is a very summery look. I did try to be strategic where I put the dimensionals. Along with the stem of the little sprig. In this photo you can really see the embossing folder too. That is Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. hummm, I wonder what this would look like in more purples and cream. What colors…

    Coloring Sunflowers using the Stampin’ Write Markers.

    Grab your Regals to Color Sunflowers using the Stampin’ Write Markers. That is my go to color family for fall. Darker yellow, a couple different oranges, greens and reds too. Yes, the perfect fall color family! However pairing the Very Vanilla helps to darken the colors just a little. Curious how I created this card? Check out the Tuesday edition Coffee and Cards for the full run down. Yes, I sure did mix the colors to get the sunflowers to look like this! I did the same with a few of the leaves also! Have your gotten your markers out and played with lately? WHAT? You don’t have any? Well…

    This is more then just a flower… Would you agree?? I have a friend that loves sunflowers. So I wanted to be sure to send this amazing card to her.
