Hey everybody, Happy Wednesday – I hope your week is going along nicely! I’m up on the Scrapbook Pal blog today sharing a tutorial for making a 3D window card featuring the new Gina K Designs Hoots & Owls stamps and dies. I also used the Spellbinders Scallop and Stitched Edge Ovals which I’ve fallen in love with. All of these products are so versatile and I’m sure I’ll get lots of use out of them. The stamp set has five owls and a ton of sentiments, and there are dies for every single one!

I cut the four card base pieces and pop up mechanism from CutCardStock Lessebo Navy Blue cardstock along with layering panels from Dare 2B Artzy Hoot Hoot paper and Orange Plaid paper, both from the Fields of Joy Collection. I was so stoked to find these papers in my stash – they almost looked like they were designed to go with these stamps!

I adhered a narrow 80# Solar White cardstock panel on the back and embellished it with images and a sentiment stamped from the Hoots & Owls stamps and cut with the coordinating dies. I totally love how this turned out! If you want more in-depth details, be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Pal website.

Hi friends! Happy Fri-YAY! Well, every day is like a Friday when you’re retired! And the days just start running together and I may or may not even know what day of the week it is! Bahahaha! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’m back this morning with the final sample that I created for the Prickley Pear Stamps Spring 2021 Release! I used the sweet Praying For You stamp set to create a sympathy card. I know I’ve mentioned before that making sympathy cards has always been difficult for me but having the perfect stamp set does make it a little easier!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Baronial Ivory cardstock along with a layering panel that I ran through the Gemini Junior with a CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Die. I stamped the Praying For You image in dark brown ink, colored it with alcohol markers, and adhered it to the card base. I stamped the sentiment in brown ink, cut it with a stitched circle die and layered it on a slightly larger yellow stitched circle die cut.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Baronial Ivory cardstock and embellished it with strips of yellow cardstock, stamped the sentiment in brown ink and layered the panel on slightly darker yellow cardstock.
