Diorama Card

Have I told you how much I LOVE stamping with friends??
Last night was my Fun Folds Class.
We haven’t done one of these in a long time,
so it was a pretty big class.
I thought it might be a little stressful,
but it wasn’t at all.
I LOVE spending time with all of my
stamping friends.
You help refresh my soul and give
me new spirit to strive on.
I truly hope that I do a little of the same for you.

Another thing I love is FUN FOLD cards.
Any kind of different fold is awesome.
Here is one of the cards we did last night.
Diorama Card
I started with Lost Lagoon cardstock (I’m going to miss this color).
I cut two pieces — 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
They are scored at 1/2″, 1″ on both sides of each piece.
I cut an open in the center of one piece to see the stamped image.

I cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock (3 1/4″ x 4″)
to stamp and insert inside the diorama.
It is stamped with the Happy Home stamp set
(yup this one is gone soon too).
I used an Aqua Painter to pick up Pear Pizzazz
ink for the grass and Pool Party for the sky.
I used Real Red, Night of Navy and Soft Sky
markers to color in the boy and kite.
Glue this to the Lost Lagoon cardstock
that doesn’t have an opening in it.

Next I used the Heart & Home framelit with
Whisper White cardstock to create the window.
Yay, this framelit is staying with us.
I attached it with Fine Tip Glue.
 
Last, use a strong adhesive (I used Fast Fuse).
Apply the adhesive to the 1/2″ edges and
attach the two pieces together.

Don’t you love how this stands on a shelf!!

Cups & Kettles is Leaving

Oh, no!!!!
The Cups & Kettles framelits is on the retiring list.
I have loved playing with this wonderful set.
I saw this card on the display boards at On Stage
over the weekend and knew that I had to share this.

It's so quick and easy to make — you don't have to
stamp the cup, just cut out designer paper.
How easy is that?
Have a CuppaThe base of the card is Basic Black — 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" — score at 4 1/4"
Next is a layer of Whisper White — 4" x 5 1/4" — this was run through the
Boho Chic embossing folder — whew this one is staying around yet.
They added a 3" x 3" Basic Black square.
Then a 2 1/2" circle of Whisper White — oh no, the 2 1/2" Circle Punch
is on the retiring list too.
They punched out a white flower using the Petite Petals Punch
and then added a Real Red flower from the
Itty Bitty Punch Pack — another of my favorites that
is on the retired list.

Yesterday I posted all the stamp sets leaving.
Here are all the accessories (sorry it's a long list).
Just a couple of my favorites:
The Mini Treat Boxes — great for party favors and they are 50%
Most of the punches and embossing folders — I will miss these.
Check them out before they are gone for good.
