Sending Hugs from August Ding Dong Ditch
Sending Hugs from August Ding Dong Here is card number two. Sending Hugs from August Ding Dong Ditch. This one for me was all about the ribbon bow. Using this ribbon as is. Remember the first card, here. We did a LOT of coloring. This one however does not. Keep in mind that we could have. No, do not worry about the bow, grab your reverse tweezers. Take your time and be brave! So note that this time I only used the outline portion of the “sending”. The outline was just enough. I need to admit that I did not save the “dot” for the I. That is why I…

Envelope Fun Fold yes an easy one from class.
Envelope Fun Fold yes an easy one Here is an Envelope Fun Fold yes, an easy one from Fun Fold Class. I do really like this one. Another that uses a regular cardbase. I wanted to try and mix a little of the soon to be retiring items with a few new. I will share more about that. The fold really is perfect and very well could be a gift card holder. I would put the gift card holder on the bottom flap. It really is easy, just add a piece of scrap to the left or right side. DONE!! Dontcha love that flower. The technique is called Two Step.…

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…

I do love when you can create such cute ideas without cutting a BIG full piece of cardstock. However, if you need to make several then this would yield two boxes from one piece. I used a few different items here… The leaves…

One blending brush and three sets of Stampin’ Blends also. You got to pick the colors!! I find that it really is much easier that way. Why??…
