Sttamping fun

 Had a wonderful visit last week with a dear friend.  Below are the cards we

created ( we each bring shoe box projects):

 

 

A great variety to have in my stash.  Lots of fun stamping,

chatting, eating and just being together

JDS- Magnolia and free digi's

 Time for the mid month challenge at Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge:

I used three sets today, I used flowers from Wedding Magnolias, and

Special Friend and Corner Adornment from Jan's new section Freebies -

be sure to check this new section out. I made a trellis card and 

added a sentiment to the top.

 Two former co-workers are retiring, former because I retired last October! Here are the

cards I made for them:

 

 The flower card uses MFT Stitched blooms (all cut our of scraps of

Stampin Up cardstock) , the second card uses Stampin Up High Tide and 

Taylored Expressions Adirondike Chair die. Both use Happy Retirement

from Taylored Expressions Day in Paradise.  Looking forward

to celebrating with them!

JDS - Dogwood Blooms

 It's a new month and two new digital stamp sets on sale at Jan's Digital Stamps

and a new challenge has begun.

 

My card:

 Dogwoods are so beautiful, we had a dogwood tree before we 

moved, they are hard to grow in Missouri. I stenciled my

background to match my dogwood flowers-colored with

Copics, 5 extra's layered for dimension and layered my

sentiment using stitched dies.

 

I used Jan's new release Dogwood Blooms and sentiment is

from Across the Miles set.

Creative Creases Guest Designer - Double Z-Fold Card

 I am honored to be guest designing for Debbie at Creative Creases Challenge,

where it is always Anything Goes with a Fun Fold - my favorite thing

to do.  Today I have a Double Z-Fold card for you.

 

I used the new Stampin Up set Nested Friends, and Stampin Up papers. 

Base Layer: Night of Navy card stock is 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scor at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"

Middle Night of Navy card stock is 6 7/8" x 4", scor at 2 1/8" and 4 3/4"

The rest is easy, cut contrasting card stock 1/4" less than each panel, I

used Pear Pizzazz.  I used double sided patterned paper, for the 3 panels

shown and cut 1/4" less than card stock panel.  I used Rings of Love

paper pack. Color images as desired and add.
