Father's Day Card, Already?

 Yes, I know we just celebrated Mother's Day (and to all the mother's I hope it was a good day), but now it's time for all the dads.  This week I will be teaching the beginning card class at the Anthem Center and I was asked to do a masculine Father's Day card. (Is there any other type?)

It's a pretty simple card using 1" cut squares from Artisan Sketched Garden DSP.  They're arranged in a geometric pattern and then the sentiment it stamped on the front.  A few squares are also on the inside.  Since I don't need a Father's Day card, since my dad has passed away, I turned another card into a B-Day card.  I can always use one of those.

2026-2028 In Colors Bookmark

 Since the May-June 2026 Catalog was launched this week, we made an In Colors bookmark.  I think everyone had fun, except there was quite a bit of grumbling when they had to stamp on a 1-3/8 x 3-3/4" piece of white card stock and then use the paper cutter to cut 5 pieces of 1-3/8 x 3/4".  They all know now where the 3/4" mark is on the paper cutter! Yes, there was reason you learned about inches in school :)

 

The next step was to color each piece with one of the New In Colors Blender Pens; attach to the correct color of card stock (I had already cut these); attach to bookmark; add a colored flower and In Color dot.  They were happy with the finished product and enjoyed seeing the colors close up.  Thankful we only do this once a year!!

Balloon Festoon Card

 One week until the NEW May-Aug 2026 catalog goes live!  I decided to to use a card from this catalog, (p. 52) but tweak it a little. Birthday cards are always a good idea to have on hand.  I used a new bundle, Balloon Festoon and the You're the Best stamp set--both available 5/5.  Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP was used and is also coming next week. Card base is Pool Party and Vellum is used over the DSP. The dies not only include balloons nested inside each other, but also the skinny die for the string to attach to the balloon.  Shimmer Star Foam Stickers and White Baker's Twine completes the look.

Today's the last day to get a FREE In Color Magnetic Stamp Pad from me.  Order $50 worth of products and choose your color!  Order HERE

Floral Spray Card (Sneak Peek)

 When I saw this card (thanks Laura Seki), I knew I wanted to recreate it.  It's pretty simple--use the Floral Spray Embossing Folder (in the new catalog);  emboss it once and then again just emboss the flower in the middle.  Cut apart the embossed piece, alternating between 1/2" and 3/4" (landscape card) or 1/2" (portrait card).  Then attach the pieces, alternating between gluing down flat and raising up with dimensionals onto card base.  Cut out embossed flower and layer onto card.  Add Wink of Stella and your sentiment and it's done.  These cards were done with the New In Color Barely Blush (available May 5th).  It's much softer and prettier than it photographed.  Add some bling--and you're done!
