Diamond shaped card

I found this card a long time ago on you tube.  I am sorry I can't identify it any further.

But it is quite easy to make.

1. Cut background cardstock 4"x12".

2. Next fold on side to the center (like a paper airplane.)

3. Straighten out cardstock, fold again like a airplane,

4. Fold end flap.

5. Fold the other side of cardstock same way. (two times like airplane shape.)

6. Fold flap on end.

7. Decorate.

I am sure it would be easy to find on you tube.

The bunny is a Quik Kutz die and pearl for the tail.

I used punches for background and popped it with one of  Dusty's pop dots (LOL)

Have fun.

PS

Tuesday Evening

Tuesday evening and thinking about how to spend my day off tomorrow.  Yes, a day off  but not by choice.  I am cancelled for tomorrow.  It is feast or famine in the recovery room.  I am a prn nurse (as needed).  No need for me tomorrow.  Business is slow so the regular FT/PT employees get the hours.  I could work as I am employed by an agency (in addition to the surgery center), but I was so tired when I got off this evening I didn't want to think about it.  So now I get an extra day off.  It is great except when the pay check rolls in.  Let's see, hmm...how about some exercise at the Y and maybe some cardmaking.  That is sounding good.

Envelope Technique

Friday night at The Ruban Rouge Crop a couple of girls showed me a new technique (new to me).  It is just a sealed envelope.  Cover the front of the envelope with a piece of paper, cut about an inch and a half off the top (I would adjust this measurement according to the size envelope I used).  Put on an embellishment.  Cut a piece of cardstock for the inside greeting.

Slide the embellished greeting inside.  Place the top back on.  Sign the back as usual.  Place in a little bigger envelope and you are set.  Easy enough.

I am sharing this technique at a gathering on Saturday.  Looking forward to learning something new.  We all bring something to share.

Jenifer and Victoria

A couple of cuties...of course, I am a proud aunt.  This was taken at JC Penney's around 8-10 years ago.  Don't worry Jen, I will publish some earlier ones.  It is so hard to believe you are twenty and a world traveler.  You two are the best!!!

 

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

The fourth was my birthday soooooo I spent my birthday money on a set of 36 Copic Sketch Markers and a set of 12 "at -you- Spica "markers (water based pigment markers).  Of course the Copic markers are alcohol based.

Template for waterfall card

I bought this template yesterday at Stamp Fest for a waterfall card.  Easy to use with a craft knife and glass cutting mat.  I have Easter on my mind.

The bow is made from a torn piece of Homespun Fabric.

Art gone wild has many neat templates available.

They are called Clever Cuts.  This is the only one I bought.  I have a few more for the wish list.

Hippity Hoppity Easter's on its way

I picked up the stamp yesterday at Stamp Fest in Clearwater.  It was a great day!  I saw lots of good friends, had lots of fun shopping (spent lots of $) what more could a girl ask for!
