Candy Cane Christmas

Toady's card is a fun fold, my favorite type in fact....a POP OUT SWING SHAKER CARD.

I used the fun CANDY CANE CHRISTMAS stamp set and coordinating CANDY CANE LANE DSP.

I also added in the fun CANDY CANE LANE DESIGNER WASHI TAPE on the inside of the card.  I love how it all coordinates beautifully!

Have you tried this type of card before? It's easier than you think!  I have the measurements and more about how to assemble this type of card HERE.  I also have a list of supplies at the bottom of this post so you know which products to use.

Botanical Builder

I normally stick to a collection of my favorite colors for card making.  For today's card, I used a color that I rarely touch...Night of Navy.



Isn't Night of Navy pretty when paired with Blushing Bride!  I started out knowing I wanted something a bit different so I also included an embossing folder that I rarely use, BOHO CHIC.  I like the texture plus it gives the card a lot more interest!  But there's still more, this isn't a typical card.......



It's an easel card!  I love how easy these cards are to make yet they have a terrific WOW factor.  A small flower stamped and a punched flower make a simple holder to make the front of the card stand.



The flowers are all built from BOTANICAL BUILDERS and the ITTY BITTY ACCENTS PUNCH PACK.  I also threw in a couple of leaves from the ROSE GARDEN THINLITS.  Using a couple shades of green, Pear Pizzaz and Old Olive, gives more depth.  The sentiment is pulled from ROSE WONDER the set that coordinates with the ROSE GARDEN THINLITS.  I really like the contrast of the Blushing Bride frame and Old Olive sentiment.



I hope you will venture out of your comfort zone like I did today, I think you'll be surprised with your creation!

Watercolor Wings Tunnel Card

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Bog Hop!!  All during June we featured different FUN FOLD CARDS.  This first week of July we have one more to share, the TUNNEL CARD!



You should be arriving from Mary Brown’s amazing blog Stamper Camper’s Corner, wasn’t her card fabulous!!  If you are just starting out here, welcome and enjoy the ride!  Be sure to stop at each blog to check out all of the cool cards we have for you today.

Since I have been very obsessed with butterflies lately, I used Watercolor Wings yet again for my card today.



Seeing these GORGEOUS butterflies never gets old!!  I went a different route though and did a neutral color palette.  With the pop of gold, this is a winner!



And how about the inside WOW factor!  This cool 3D effect that you get with the top layer of cardstock is really stunning!  Let's look at it from a different angel so you can really see what's going on here.



Amazing!  And of course with it folding flat you can ship this beauty in a standard envelope!



Let's talk about the inside real quick.  I did my tunnel a little bit different than I have in the past.  Normally I would keep the cutout in the center panel that pops out.  This time I used the new Lots of Labels framelits and they were wider than that panel.  the score lines overlapped onto the frame a bit but it certainly didn't take away from the effect!

And how about the sweet butterflies inside the card!  They have a coordinating color layout with the large butterfly on the front that I will show you next.



I am loving this golden butterfly!  The bottom layer is Sahara sand stamped off once, Soft Suede along the edges, and Early Espresso markings over top.....so GORGEOUS!

I so LOVE this card, I hope you enjoyed it too!  Now it’s time for the next stop, Debbie Henderson’s gorgeous blog Debbie’s Design’s to see her amazing card for today.  Don’t forget to continue through all of the blogs, you won’t want to miss a thing!

Thanks for hanging out with us again!  See you next time!
