Waves of Inspiration/Oceanfront Fun-Fold Thank You Card

I like this type of fun-fold card--it's unique!

Hello, and welcome to my blog! Thanks for stopping by!

First of all, this card is not as complicated as it seems! It's actually quite easy to make! If it looks familiar, it's because this is an updated version of one I designed quite a while ago (it's been made with current--for now!--products). I received a lovely email from a fellow Canadian demonstrator, wanting to make a video on how to make this card--she had seen my card on Pinterest. This request is what got me started making YouTube videos last March! There's a link to the YouTube tutorial for this card below (where you'll also find a free printable tutorial).

This is the card when it's closed--it fits into a regular envelope.

Secondly, these gorgeous stamp sets are retiring at the end of April, 2024. 😢 Our new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue launches May 1st, and to make room for some fabulous new products, there are a lot that will be retiring. I am really sad to be losing the Waves of Inspiration stamp set, Waves Dies, our Oceanfront stamp set, and Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels! These have been favourites of mine!

Thirdly, some of the products I used to make this card are on sale!! Woohoo!! The Stargazing Designer Series Paper is 40% off ($10.20), the Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels are 40% off ($6.15), and the Waves Dies are 50% off ($23.50)!! Shopping links are below. Please note that the prices shown below are the original prices. These products are available only while supplies last, or until April 3, 2024.

So although this card may look complicated, it's actually pretty simple to make! It takes a bit of time, but is so worth it for that special someone! These beautiful blended backgrounds are so easy to create, and I think they make beautiful cards. I hope that you agree!😊 Shopping links are below. Join one of my classes, and I'll help you make cards like this!  

Check out my YouTube tutorial for this card below (and find a link for a free, printable tutorial there, as well)! I'd love it if you have time to write a comment below!

Perched in a Tree/Aspen Tree Dies Thank You Card - Top Ten Winners' International Highlights Blog Hop

Hello, and thanks for visiting my blog! And thank you VERY much for voting my card into third place for Kylie Bertucci's September International Blog Highlights competition!! I am really excited to be part of this group of amazing designers from all over the world, and to have been asked to participate in the Top Ten Winners' Hop again! (I am posting my Top Ten card at the bottom of this blog entry, in case you missed it.)

This was a fun card to create! As you may know, I love using Blending Brushes to make backgrounds! I've had the Perched in a Tree Stamp Set and Aspen Tree Dies for quite a while, but hadn't used them yet. I thought this would be a perfect set to make a card with a Blending Brush background. 

Our Stampin' Blends were used to colour the bird. Hop on over to my YouTube channel to watch a tutorial on how to make this card. And while you are there, grab the FREE printable tutorial!

Visit my YouTube channel to see how this card is made! You can also find a FREE TUTORIAL with the YouTube video!

Here is the card I submitted for this month's contest. Thanks again for voting it into third place! To see more photos for the card below, and a link to a YouTube video and free tutorial, click here.

I'd love for you to comment below, if you have a moment. 😊 Then be sure to check out the other Top Ten Winners' cards!!
