The tricky card… not so tricky

March 12, 2023March 12, 2023 vargasmj21

Such a fun a creative card! In spite of its name, this card has only a few steps to it, but nothing out of the ordinary. shall we try to make it together?

I am trying to use everything I can from the Annual catalog, getting ready for the new catalog, that’s coming on May 1st. (excited? I am) This time, I am using the Blessings of Home bundle and this is a pair you don’t want to miss. As always, I really appreciate that Stampin’Up includes some many extra pieces in their dies. ready to get yours? I am also using the Abigail Rose DSP; if you into shabby chic, this is your guy.

A super cute birthday fun fold

October 6, 2022October 6, 2022 vargasmj21

It has been a busy couple of weeks… you know when life takes a path of its own? Thank fully, I am able to take sometime and make some cards. This super cute fun fold is the perfect card for my nephew’s coming birthday. So, gather your crafting supplies and let’s have some fun.

As you might have figured out… I found this fold on… (drumroll) Pinterest, from a French SP demosntrator. Here is her blog Papier, ciseaux et cie.com She has all her measurements in centimeters.

I absolutely love when you have a collection of papers that can help you tell a story in a card. I know I have said this before, but the moment I saw the Happy Forest Friends Suite, I knew I had to get it. It is so adorable and whimsical, right up my ally.
