Thanks Oodles


I have a friend who is a former CTMH consultant who gave me tons of stamp sets she had collected over the years. I am enjoying experimenting with them and creating some fun cards! 

This was a simple card made using the Oodles of Doodles Flair stamp set from CTMH. I used Watermelon, Tropical Blue, and Sunny Yellow (all CTMH, and quite old, so they probably aren't out there any more.) I also used white twine to add visual interest in the plain white side. I don't know why I don't love having lots of blank space. I liked how this turned out, having the white space but also having some texture with the twine.

Daffodil Daydream Double Easel Card

Image
 I created these cards using Stampin' Up!'s Daffodil Delight DSP, stamps, and dies.  I used this blog  as inspiration for this card. To create: Very Vanilla cardstock at 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2. Colored cardstock 4 x 10 1/4, scored at 2 1/2 in and 5 in. Fold to create the easel shape. Attach the colored cardstock to the Very Vanilla. Cut coordinating DSP to 3 3/4 x 3 and 3 3/4 x 2 1/4. Attach on appropriate sides. Stamp and die cut image of single daffodil. Color. attach to front easel panel with dimensionals. Attach a ribbon and gems as desired. I created these as anniversary cards, so I stamped a Happy Anniversary sentiment as well as a black image of the daffodil to the inside of the card.

For papers, I used Real Red as the card base, Basic Black for layering, DSP from the Daffodil Daydream pack, and Very Vanilla cardstock. For the green, I used Mossy Meadow. All Stampin' Up! products. The red gems were a dollar store find!

Crayon Birthday Fun Fold

Image
 I wanted to use up some random envelopes with this card. So I measured the envelope, subtracted a quarter inch from each side, and that is the size of the face of the card.  This fun fold opens only in the middle, so I made the middle one half the size of the card face and each strip of patterned paper one quarter of the card face (minus one fourth inch to give the border). The patterned paper is just random paper from my stash.  I cut white cardstock for the inside middle and the outside middle.  The front piece of white I embossed with SU birthday greetings embossing folder.  Then I stamped the crayon from School Days from CTMH and cut them out. I adhered them with dimensionals.  The red gems are from the dollar store.  Easy but fun!
