Fun Fold - Easy Buckle Card

Hello and happy foggy Sunday morning, doing a quick drive by post as I have another post to get done.  This card is another one created as part of an online craft group, it is a buckle card, I missed the meet up so I watched this The Stampin Chic video with a few of my own adjustments since I didn’t have a label punch.  I used papers from the My Mind’s Eye Cozy Christmas paper pad, a Stampin Up stamp for the sentiment, oval and rectangle stitched dies. The inside sentiment is from a Recollections stamp set.  As with other first time projects there is room for improvements so stay tuned for the next buckle card.

Split Front Card

Hello and happy cloudy rainy Monday evening, I have been trying to get this post done since yesterday morning.  Today I am sharing another card technique that I tried over the weekend, it is called a split front card.  The card came together quite nicely once I got over the initial frustration and got some additional guidance from one of my crafting besties!  The pattern paper is from the Echo Park Have Faith paper pad,  used a Cuttlebug embossing folder, a Bo Bunny stamp for the sentiment and misc. embellishments from my stash, I even tried to create a cluster.

Slider Window Card

Hello Sunday night, so much to do never enough time!   I am doing another drive by post to share a card that I created this morning.  Never mind that it took me three tries to get it done and there is still room for improvement.  I created this card after watching a video shared on Pink Buckaroo Designs as part of a tutorial shared during a ZOOM meetup.  I used papers from the Recollections Backyard Table 6x6 paper pad, a Love Nicole stamp and a flamingo die leftover from another project.
