Fun Fold with Creative Creases Challenge #89

 I've been invited to be a Guest DT again over at Creative Creases challenge #89.  I decided to, once again, pull out my favorite Stamp'in Up set, "Bistro Burger Bundle".  I did a step fold card using a red 12 x 12 sheet of red paper.  


I cut it at 5.5 x 11.5.  Scored at 5.5 and 8.5.  I then cut a piece of the red at 5.5 x 6 and scored it at 5.5.  Using the tear n' tape on the small fold side and attached to the back of the other piece to make it the card part and so that it would stand better on it's own.  The fold part is big enough to add a gift card if you chose.


As you can see, I added some silver "gems" and some twine to finish it off.


Thanks for stopping by!

Beach'in Birthday

 I'm in need of a tropical vacation!  Yes, It's been in the triple digits here, however, it's so dry and the smoke from all of the fires make it so I can't breathe if I spend much time outside.  So, this hasn't been a very fun summer!  So, when I saw this fun image from Dr. Digi (Beach Bum Bob), I had to have it and had to make something tropical and fun with it.  I went back and grabbed the Freaky Tiki to add to the card.  The background paper is from Stamp'in Up and the tree is from Cricut.

Steampunk Love

 I had to make this card, I had a friend in mind when I made this.  She enjoys dressing in steampunk and she has two cats, they look similar to the two you see here.


For this card I used all kinds of dies, as you can see.  The sentiment, the cogs, the butterflies, the images and their scalloped background.  These images came from an AI creation Facebook page where several people share their makes "For personal use only".  There were several that this particular person made with several different cats and several different people.  Pretty cool huh?  Amazing the things we can find on Facebook!  😁

I am sharing this for the opening of this month's challenge over at Incy Wincy Designs Challenge where the options are Steampunk and/or Something New (New Baby/Home/job...)

Butterfly Beauty

 This card was made using a few Altenew die sets.  The largest die is the Radial Butterflies Cover Die, the flower and leaves are from Prickly Pear Die Set, the sentiment is from the radiating beauty die set.  I used some of the butterflies cut out from the Butterfly cover die to add more dimension.  I used a shimmer brush over the butterflies to add...well...shimmer, and some gems were added for the body!  After getting it all put together, I decided it really needed a bow, so I added one in the upper left corner.

Birthday Shaker

 This Shaker card was made using some fun dies (sorry, not sure what brand they are since the brand isn't on the dies).  The balloons are meant to be shakers as well, however, I didn't want to make them shakers.  I made the balloons using inks and sprays.  I found this fun background paper on Temu.  I added a black bow.

The only other thing I added is the Hemp Twine Bow.

a BIG DEAL

 I had to pull out my Bistro Burger stamp set again!  I saw someone turn it into a "BigMac" sandwich and HAD to give it a try.  Now that is how I recall these looking when I was a kid!!  LOL  I used the charcuterie board die from the set to put things on.  For that matter, I think I used all of the dies from the set.  LOL  I even pulled out the little cup die with the "fry sauce" using a piece of vellum paper for the cup.  I really love how the knife looks so realistic!  I used the flames behind the burger to make it stand out even more; I colored it using orange and yellow ink pads and a blending brush.  As you can see, I had a ton of fun making this!



Thanks for stopping by!  I hope I've inspired you!

Happy Summer Flowers


 This card was made using an image from Lili Of The Valley.  I can't seem to find it on their website.  I used a couple of dies, one to cut out the image and one to cut out the mat around it.  I used some ribbon and some lace.  I added several mulberry flowers from I Am Roses using a hot glue gun.  I also added some glittery gems.  I used some shimmer on her wings and some Stickles around the flower were there were already dots, and in the center of the flower in her hair.




Thanks so much for stopping by!
