Crazy BFF

Hey everybody! Another week is whizzing by in a super speedy fashion! Hope you’re having a good one! I’ve popped in this morning to share my last card created for the Prickley Pear Stamps new release! I created a total of 16 samples for this new release, so it has taken a minute to share them all, lol! I saved the most bright and cheerful card of the bunch to share last! Love, love, love this whimsical card featuring the Hey Girl Hey stamp set and the Woodgrain Slimline Background stamp.

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# White cardstock along with a layering panel from Colorbok hot pink Seeing Dots cardstock which I adhered to the card base. Using my WRMK Envelope Punch Board, I made a file folder panel from CutCardStock Basis 80# White cardstock, stamped the woodgrain background in Catherine Pooler Lime Rickey ink, and hand-cut a strip of CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock to go around the edge. I added a strip of Eyelet Outlet wide flower washi tape and a narrow strip of the black cardstock, and adhered the panel to the card front. I stamped the chicken in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored her with alcohol markers, and fussy cut her. I added Glossy Accents to her eyes and set her aside to dry. I wanted to bring in more of the black cardstock, so I adhered the fussy cut image to a scrap piece of black cardstock and fussy cut it a second time, leaving just a tiny bit of black border. I adhered the image to the card front and stamped the sentiment in vertical fashion in black ink.

And one more look… super happy with how this turned out! I’ve had such a good time creating with all these stamps from the new release!

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We have 10 feline rescues. I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty lovins! ;)

  1. This is so adorable, Leslie! How creative making a folder card. I love the wood grain background stamp. The coloring on that cute bird image is amazing and so is the fussy cutting! Thanks for sharing at 613 Avenue Create’s June, “Anything Goes with a Twist/Tag Challenge”.
