Hey everybody, Happy Saturday! I hope you had a great week and have something fun planned this weekend. I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a friendship card in the form of a library pocket! I used our Lessebo Bubble Gum Pink, Lessebo Blossom Pink and Pop Tone Jellybean Green, along with Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White for the card insert. You won’t believe how easy this card is – I see many more of these in my future, lol!

I cut the library pocket card base from Lessebo Bubble Gum Pink along with a layering panel from Lessebo Blossom Pink and the card insert from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White. I used my MISTI to do some outline stamping on the layering panel in Versafine Onyx Black ink using the Stampin’ Up Hand-Penned Petals stamp set. Then I used Catherine Pooler Eucalyptus, Something Borrowed, Grape Crush, Flirty Fuchsia and Pucker Up inks to do the fill-in stamping with an acrylic stamping block.

I also used the coordinating Stampin’ Up Penned Flowers dies to embellish the Solar White card insert. The front sentiment was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink using the same Stampin’ Up Hand-Penned Petals stamp set which I cut with a Love From Lizi Stitched Circle Nested Cutting Die. The finishing touch on the front was the addition of several Brutus Monroe Light Pink Flat Back Crystals.

The only thing left to do with the insert card was to stamp a sentiment. This one, from the Stampin’ Up Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set, was also stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink. Love, love, love how this turned out! Be sure to visit the CutCardStock blog to see my tutorial if you want to learn how to make this! I have to admit that I attempted to watch a video on YouTube but it was awful (as was the accompanying written tutorial) so I ended up going in my own direction. Sometimes you just have to take the bull by the horns, lol!

Hey everybody, Happy New Year! Wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous 2025! My daughter, my firstborn, is 41 today and I don’t know how that’s possible because I’m only 29. Bahahaha! I’ve been busting at the seams to blab that I have joined the Creative Creases Challenge DT this year, and I couldn’t be more excited! You know how I love me some fun folds and this opportunity is right up my alley. This is the only challenge team I’m on now (the other five are product teams) and I’m really looking forward to sharing some fun folds. These challenges have historically been every other week on Fridays, and this year Debbie has changed the schedule to monthly challenges to give everyone more time, so come on over and play with us! Challenge #99 is live this morning and I’ve created a get well card for my debut project using the Sizzix Door Fold-A-Long Thinlits. This is a super easy card that really packs a punch and can be tailored to any season or occasion.

All the cardstock I used is from CutCardStock. I cut the card base and door accents from Lessebo Granite Gray and Shadow Gray, and the door handles from Bright Silver Foil and Stardream Metallic Silver. Next, I cut the wreath from Pop Tone Jellybean Green and flowers from Raspberry Ice and Pink Tutu cardstock. I added tiny gray gemstones to the center of each flower. The wreath can be made in any color combination for any season or occasion. So fun!

I cut the inside panel from Lessebo White cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Hand-Penned Petals in Catherine Pooler Black Jack ink. I added a few more pink flowers, and the card was complete.
