Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper

August 14, 2024 - By Sherri Minne

Good morning everyone! At least it is morning for me as I am writing this on Wednesday, August 14th. Can’t believe this month is half over already. I am a day late writing this post, but I did get the video uploaded yesterday. My husband had his second surgery in four months on Monday the 12th so that day was spent at the hospital. He had rotator/bicep shoulder repair and it went well. However with any surgery there are pain and practical issues to be worked out. It’s hard to get him dressed with one arm in a big old sling. Thankfully surgery was on the left shoulder, and he is right handed. He can do lots of things, but some require my help. Enough babbling – let’s get to the card. The focal point on the front is actually from the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper. I love it when the Stampin Up Dies cut out some of the images of the Designer Series Paper. Makes the card go pretty quickly.

I love the tile look of the paper on the front. Used a generic greeting so card could be used for any type of occasion. We will be doing this card at class this week. Stampin Up is running a 15% off sale on all their Designer Series Paper featured in the 24-25 Annual Catalog, and this is one of those papers. If you would like to order, just click on the paper thumbnail below; and you will be taken directly to my online store. There are lots of other beautiful papers on sale also.

Countryside Inn Corner Fold Birthday Card

July 9, 2024 - By Sherri Minne

Happy Tuesday everyone. Can’t believe another week has flown by, and it’s time for our Terrific Tuesday card. Our card is very similar to last week’s, but using a different fold technique. We are doing an angled fold this time. Same Designer Series Paper but different pattern. These cards are so quick to make, and can be for any occasion using any stamp set you have on hand.

Love this card, and have made many variations. Just changed the Designer Series Paper and sentiment.

Blessings to you all. See you next week. Stay out of the heat especially this weekend.

Hello everyone. How’s it going? We are having a scorcher today. Mid 90s for the next couple of days which is very unusual for Colorado in Mid-June. Whew! Another video means another post. I know it’s not Tuesday, but I had a full day of running around yesterday with appointments for my husband. He is now driving so I am hoping my running around will slow down. Enough chit chat, let’s get on with today’s card. I am featuring the Unbounded Love bundle from the 24-25 Annual Catalog. Card is quick, simple, easy, and maximizes the use of our 6×6 Designer Series Paper. Thanks to CraftyAl for the cutting diagram.

Fun Fold Graduation Book Card

May 28, 2024 - By Sherri Minne

Greetings everyone. I was beginning to think I would never get back to doing a video. My husband had hip replacement surgery on April 18th, and we didn’t realize how much work it would take to get him on the road to recovery. He is doing very well, but still has six weeks to go before he can bend from the waist. He’s walking with a cane, but very close to getting rid of that help. Hopefully from this point forward I can get back on my regular crafting schedule.

Today’s card is for graduation. Probably a bit late for some of you, but there are still ceremonies going on in schools. This card features one of my favorite fun folds. It opens like a book, and pretty easy to make.
