It's time for your Sunday Matinee!!! I made a video to show you how to make this fun fold card - thanks to Sandy Hancock of the fun fold idea!!! And Becky Roberts for sharing the skirt!
Isn't it adorable??? I love the new DRESS UPS Framelits - so many possibilities!
On this card - I used the DRESS UPS Framelits for the bodice of the dress and the dress form underneath. Don't you love the little pearl necklace???

Here's a view of the fun fold cards in stages of openness - is that a word - I don't think so - but you get the idea...

Here's a video to show you how to make this card:

I love the 5/8" Fabric Flowers - the possibilities are endless here too - you can use markers on them, daubers in ink or sponge them to get whatever color you want.

What a GREAT masculine card!!! I know alot of stampers have trouble coming up with cards for the men in their life....it's always been easy for me...so I had to share this one with you! This stamp set - BY THE TIDE - is a MUST HAVE....great for man cards and women too. You can also use soft colors for babies cards!!!
I love when I start playing with a new stamp set and creations just come easy. That's the way I feel about BY THE TIDE.
I used Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and Night of Navy for the cardstock & ink. I know the lighting in this photo makes the blue look different - but trust me - it's Night of Navy. I stamped my lobster dude with Black StazOn and then used an Aqua Painter to color it in with Cherry Cobbler ink...I just squished my ink pad lid and used the ink for that.
Are you loving that little anchor??? It comes on the Happy Whale Clearlits Die (shown below). Now for the Soda Pop Tops - they are the funnest!!!! (is that a word?) You put them in between your cutting plates and open both tabs...just run them right through that big boy (Big Shot) and they look like this:
The bottom of the pop tops are a little concave - so you want to attach them with a Dimensional. And a little about the Natural Trim - it is a perfect embellishment to accompany the pop tops - just fray the ends and it reminds me of netting!
I don't know what it is about pinwheels - but they always make me smile. And of course new babies do that too! Here's a soft card just perfect to welcome a new life into the world...or congratulate an expectant mom at her baby shower or as a birthday card for that bundle of joy in your life.
This card came to me in a swap - I changed a couple little things and had to add that adorable pinwheel. The tiny brads are pefect for the center. This little die (shown below) is only $4.95 - that's a pretty small price to add so much joy to my card! And the Cloudy Day embossing folder is just precious.
I used So Saffron cardstock and Tea for Two Designer Series Paper. The white scalloped edge comes from the Tasteful Trim Bigz Die - I've used this die on so many cards and scrapbooking pages - it's perfect for them - the strips are 12" long!!! It's such a nice embellishment.
I used Pacific Point & Soft Suede ink for the tickets and added a rhinestone jewel to one of them. The Calypso Coral ruffled ribbon adds that little pop that was needed.
Here's one of the cards that will be available at the Card:Scrap Buffet on Saturday, February 16th. How stinkin' cute is this? The original layout came from my friend Candy Michael in a swap! And this card was made by Rachael Lienhard - my partner in the Card:Scrap Buffet.

The Bashful Blue layer is 7-1/4 x 5-1/2 - scored at 4-1/4. The Pink Pirouette layer is 6-1/2 x 4-1/4 - scored at 3-1/4. She used the 1" circle punch and the anchor from the Happy Whale Clearlit.
Colors: Pink Pirouette, Bashful Blue & Island Indigo
