Today my card is made with the Iris Paper folding technique. You can read more about it here (http://www.iris-folding.com/). Thanks to my wonderful videographer husband, we have the second installment of Susana's Scrappin Corner. Roll movie.......

This template shows you how the papers will be laid down for this simple Iris Paper folding technique. I actually designed all the segments on the Gypsy so it allowed me to cut multiples with ease. If you do not have a Gypsy, don't worry. My original card I will show was made with my paper cutter and an Exacto knife to cut out the center square. Here is what you will need:

* Colored cardstock cut 4" x 5" (approx)
* Light colored patterned paper cut into 4 - 2.5" x 2" strips
* Darker coordinating patterned paper cut into 4 - 2.5" x 2" strips
* Adhesive or Scotch tape (I recommend adhesive)
* 4.25"  x 5.5"Card base in a complimentary color

And now the moment you have all been waiting for... BLOG CANDY. We are currently at 86 followers per my Dashboard. There is not one offering but TWO. Winners will be picked by Random.org. There are only two requirements. One is you must be a follower. Second is that you must leave a comment of course. Due to high postage rates, I will have to limit this to our US and Canada blog followers (I apologize for this). So do you want to know what you can win? Sure you do! The prize for hitting 100 followers is an L&M Storytellers scrapbook pack. I raved about this company in my post from the day crop I attended. The second prize just for this hop is a complete kit for you to make your own Iris paper folding card and the sample I made for this video. Winners will be picked the evening of Monday, February 28th and posted on my blog. I hope you have enjoyed your stop here and wish you lots of fun! Hop on over to Janice's blog (http://cricutology.blogspot.com). Remember if you want to start from the beginning you can go back to Ellen's blog (http://cardmonkey-business.blogspot.com). Happy Hopping and until next time......

Thanks a Melon

Okay, this is not the most original Blog line but it is fitting here. My friend Erin (Comfy on my Cloud) lent me her Cricut Preserves cartridge. I was not feeling too ambitious but managed to squeak this one out. I got to use my new Cuttlebug embossing folder on it.

This weekend I also had to prep my Motions and Fold Blog Hop Project. I wanted to post the template I used and a mini supply list for those of you that are able to join us next Saturday.

This template shows you how the papers will be laid down for this simple Iris Paper folding technique. I actually designed all the segments on the Gypsy so it allowed me to cut multiples with ease. If you do not have a Gypsy, don't worry. My original card I will show was made with my paper cutter and an Exacto knife to cut out the center square. Here is what you will need:


* Colored cardstock cut 4" x 5" (approx)
* Light colored patterned paper cut into 4 - 2.5" x 2" strips
* Darker coordinating patterned paper cut into 4 - 2.5" x 2" strips
* Adhesive or Scotch tape (I recommend adhesive)
* 4.25"  x 5.5"Card base in a complimentary color


That is all the info I have for you right now. The blog hop will take place on Saturday, Feb. 26th. You will start the hop here: The Fabulous CardMonkey


Well in the immortal words of Porky Pig, "That's all Folks!" Until next time...

I may not be a Superhero but I know how to mask

I promised a little creativity this weekend and I will not disappoint. On Saturday, we had our monthly Stampin Up card workshop. Our friend and teacher, Julie, decided to teach us a masking technique (Read about Masking here). We had tried this before with a two step flower stamp but she gave us all new ideas with the Butterfly Prints stamp set (http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=120738). Here is a duplicate of the card that she showed us:

This card used three new colors from Stampin Up (Stampin Up Brights Ink Pads, SU Brights designer buttons (these are AWESOME!) and Versamark for that tone on tone look. Then Julie let us loose to come up with our own designs. Well I came up with these other cards using the masking technique:

The tie dye looking card was done with a sponging technique and the same ink pads used to stamp the butterflies in card #1. I ended up with the green when I had to cover a slight booboo.

The yellow card was made the new color, the SU brayer (http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=102395), and I used the Decorative Label punch (see it here) to make the mask. The sentiment is from the butterfly stamp set mentioned above. I think this stamp set has a lot of options and can make some wonderful cards. 

You can leave a comment if you have any questions on how to make these cards. I may have to get a brayer to try some other techniques with it. I was seriously hoping that my friend Erin from Comfy on My Cloud (Stop by and show her some blog love) would have posted hers but she must be swamped with her current work project. Well, I am feeling under the weather today, so I am going to end here. Until next time........

Howdy to all my peeps :)

Happy Friday to you all! Today is extra special as I have the whole day off and 4 days to spend with my family. Today will also be a crafty day as I want to get everything ready for the Motion and Folds Blog Hop. I am so incredibly blessed to be doing this with an amazing group of bloggers. Our hostess, Ellen aka Cardmonkey (http://cardmonkey-business.blogspot.com) has put this together and I think she deserves a HUGE round of applause. Thanks Ellen and I am sure everyone feels the same. So remember to save the date to join us on the hop. Remember that I will also be giving away blog candy as well.

Later I will be posting some of the projects that I will have made today so wish me luck! Until next time...

Happy Valentine's Day 2011!

What a wonderful day! This year we decided to simplify this day. Hubby and I decided to make each other's Valentine. I designed mine on the Gypsy and had it done for awhile now. DH has been trying so hard. He is learning to use the Cricut. I am mega impressed as he wrote me a poem too. I won't get my real present until Sat. Hubby can write his own songs and music. He wrote me a song and will perform it at our Church's sweetheart banquet :) With no further adieu, here are our valentines:

This evening we all spent time together. It was wonderful! I enjoyed every minute of it. Hope everyone took the day to make someone you love and care for's day a great one! Until next time.....

Stampin Up Sale-a-bration class

Last night (after a long day) I attended a card making class for Stampin Up. This was the results of  about 2 hours of work:

This last card uses am interesting technique called spotlighting. I daresay that it is pretty neat technique. The other new thing I learned is to bunch the ribbon! This is so cool. The paper is a new pack from Stampin Up, the ribbon is SU twill tape and the new ribbon flower was sprayed with ink. I enjoy learning new things. Until next time.......
