A2 Frame Card(s) for Monday Sept. 3, 2018

Hello dear friends.  Anyone ready for some fall?  Here in Oregon it usually starts raining Halloween and doesn't lay off the precipitation until July 5th.  We are so behind in the rainfall this year.  2018 has already been classified as the driest year on record.  Come On Rain!!!

So for today I have created A2 Frame Card Set #2.  I used the 6 sided frame this time.  I hope to use this pattern for other cards in the future.

Crafty Friends, I used a chubby unicorn named Purdie in my creation this week.  I just have to give a shout out to Amy and her new business Witt & Sass Stamp Company!  Purdie is a chubby unicorn that will be getting into trouble and have adventures which a new stamp set will be made.  I LOVE using these stamps.

Now on to what I created with a list of supplies.

This is the A2 Frame Card #1
I added the inside frame around the window.  It looks better.


Of course the back is decorated.


This is a birthday card for a dear friend.  She is the first one of the high school gang of friends to turn 60.  So this year will be busy and filled with birthday cards to make! 

Thank you so much for visiting.  Have the most wonderful day ever!

Summer Tent Camping Box

Hello everyone.  I am a day late and I apologize, events just have ways to interrupt your life.  So I am here today to share this amazing Mountain/Summer Tent Camping Box.  Oh what a fun project.  I had never done 3D paper crafting until my friend Debs suggested I try.  So I am now on the DT for Simply Crafty SVG's.  Having gotten the hang of 3D projects, I am now starting to let my wonky/creative personality show through.

So here we go...

This month I have chosen a file called Tent Camping Box.  Last month I made a Mountain Box Card with Yetti's and pink flamingos.  This month is a little tamer.  Let me show you what I came up with (picture heavy)

Here is the front of the box.

I used ribbon and tacky glue on the front and back.

This is what the sides look like.  DCWV has colored burlap.  I got this at Tuesday
Morning this winter.  They had a pastel book and a bright book.  Love working
with this.  It has a paper backing and cuts like burlap.

The back.  I used ground coffee for the ground.

Here is how the box opens.

You could put a small present/note inside.

The inside of the box.

And the completed box again.

Some of the special items that I used on this project are:

Ground coffee for dirt
Ribbon to cover the kraft board
Glitter for the trees
Holographic paper for the cooler
Heart brads
 Thank you so much for visiting this time.  I will be back in a month for a project for back to school.  Bright blessings,

Mountain Camping Box Card

Hello everyone!  I have a great project from Simply Crafty SVG's.  My project is called
Mountain Camping Box Card.  It is a wonderful project and Simply Crafty SVG's files are phenomenal.  They come with full instructions to put any project together.  Sandy is an amazing designer and available for help anytime.  Please go check her shop out.

OK, most of you know that I have a rather quirky sense of humor.  So I asked Sandy if I could use some interesting embellishments for the box card.  So I have decorated with some funny stuff.  (I hope you can laugh at them too)

This is a side view

Another side view

Here we go!  Big foot Gorge and Yeti Pass

Have to have a pink flamingo

OMG it's a AirStream trailer with real curtains.
Also the lawn chair has a cold drink and bug spray.
And you can't go wrong with a Christmas Tree!

Last but not least, the camp fire had to have marshmallows
cooking for s'mores.  

Here is the finished Mountain Camping Box Card.  There
is the cresent moon with a falling star.  The front says Relax
and also Happy Summer.


Dear Sandy, I just helped your card along a little bit!  BTW Sandy loved it!  Hope you enjoy my little bit of fun.  Next design team project I will just make something and leave the humor out (maybe).  

Take card everyone.  Happy Independence Day!

Bright Blessings,
