Facebook Live Replay - Prayers & Promises

 I just love it when I find a fancy fold and it is so easy that it practically makes itself. I found this Easy Card Layout with 6x6 Designer Series Paper by watching a video done by Frenchie Stamps.  I thank her as this is such a neat fold and card.

Saturday Spotlight Stamper - Rita Jakobi

 To finish up the year, I wanted to share with you some lovely cards from our own Rita Jakobi. These cards are blue ribbon winners at our local county fair.

Rita has a beautiful style of stamping and creating beautiful cards. 

I hope that the cards that I share will inspire you to sit down and create some cards yourself. We will be saying good by to 2025 soon and hello 2026. I can't say that 2025 was the best year, but I have my health and family and all of my stamping friends.

Take care,

Facebook Live Replay - Wonderful Thoughts

 This week's Facebook Live features the Stack, Slice and Shuffle Technique. This is pretty cool as you can use some of that designer series papers that we all hoard. It is also a cool way to get 4 cards done rather quickly.  

Here is a close up of the 4 cards:

As you can see, each card is unique and pretty in it's own way.

Project Recipe:

STAMP SET: Wonderful Thoughts, Motherhood Mottos (Inside)

INK: Night of Navy

PAPER: Night of Navy Base, Basic White, True Blue Florals Designer Series Papers (December Product of the Month)

ACCESSORIES: Wonderful Thoughts Dies, Dimensionals, Hues of Blue White Flowers

CUTTING & SCORING:

• Night of Navy Base 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Score at 4 1/4"
• True Blue DSP 5 1/4" x 4" Cut 2 of the two-sided DSP, Stack the papers then slice!
• White 3 3/4" x 5" Inside

How to Slice the DSP:

• On the 4" side slice at 2 3/4 (you will cut both at the same time)
• Now turn horizontally and slice at 3"
• Take the 1" strip and slice at 2"
• Keep all of the cut slices with each other, don't mix up.

How to Shuffle each pile:

• Now it is time to Shuffle each pile. Taking the 1st piece and putting it in the back of the pile.
• 2nd Pile - Count down 2 and take them to the back of the pile.
• 3rd Pile - Count down 3 and take those to the back of the pile.
• 4th Pile - Count down 4 and take those to the back of the pile.

Now you can arrange each pile onto your card base before you glue it down. You might have to rearrange some pieces so that it looks right.

Enjoy the video:

Thank you all for stopping in, Merry Christmas. Enjoy your holiday and thank you all for being part of my stamping family.  I appreciate you all.

Cindy
