Today I am sharing a cute Slimline card using some of the Peanuts characters.
The images are stamps that was the freebie stamp set included in the Creative Stamping Magazine issue 156. Someone post on Facebook the week before Mother’s Day that she found the magazine in a newsagent down here in Australia. So I messaged my daughter’s asking if they were near a newsagents could the see if they had it. Fortunately my eldest daughter found it and gave it to me for Mother’s Day, which I was happy about 😊.
The grass is from an older MFT Stamps die set & the clouds & sun are from Spellbinders Tunnel Clouds die set.
For the inside of the card I added another Peanuts image & sentiment from the stamp set.
Today I am sharing a 5 x 7 card I created recently featuring the Steamboat Willie Betterpress Plate from Spellbinders Paperarts. After using my Betterpress to stamp the image onto white cardstock and black ink, I coloured the image using Copic markers.
I used the borders from the Classic Mouse Borders die set which I die cut in a variety of colours and layered to the card. When I knew the space I had left for the image, I cut that down to size and adhered to the panel using foam tape.
To finish the front of the card, I added the "Ahoy" sentiment which is from the June Clear Stamp of the Month - Anchors Away.
For the inside of the card, I added the border dies along the bottom of the card and then added another sentiment from the Anchors Away stamp set.
Today I am sharing another card using dies from Spellbinders Say Cheese Classic Mouse Collection. I just love the Steamboat Willie die set and the accessory dies that come in this collection.
I have created a Bay Window Card as I also wanted to use the window die which is also from Spellbinders. My Bay Window card measures 7 inches x 7 inches, as I needed the height for the window.
To create my card I cut two white panels of card that measure 7 inches x 7 inches.. I then score along the 7 inch side of one of the panels at 1/2” on each side and then centred the window in the centre of the card, allowed a little on each side and scored.
I added the word ‘HAPPY’ using the alphabet dies in the collection.
When you open the card it reveals the scene using the Flags & Banners die set.
Here is a look at the full inside of my card. I also added a border using the Classic Mouse Borders die set.
My card will fold flat to be put into a large envelope.
Welcome to my blog! Today I am sharing a fun new card I created with you!
What do you do when you get new dies from two different companies that you desperately want to play with ... combine the two of course. Which is what I did for this card.
I just love the new Steamboat Willie Duo die set which I used to create this familiar cartoon character, it is soooo much fun.
For my card base, I used Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott's new Star Showstopper die set.
For the top stars I used Spellbinders Mariner's Weave Embossing Folder which is the June 2025 Embossing Folder of the Month.
For the sentiment, I added the Hello die set. I didn't order the accessories when I ordered Steamboat Willie, but I have fixed that now LOL!
Here is a look at my card when it is closed ready to be placed in an envelope. It should fit in a Slimline Envelope or a 5 x 7 Envelope.
Here is a look at the back of my card. I kept it very simple, just adding the stars to the centre of the card and a "For You" stamped sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, today I am sharing a Pooh themed Slimline Easel Card I created recently.
For my card, I used the dies from the new Spellbinders Classic Pooh Collection.I saw these were going to be released in January when I was checking out the "Coming Soon" section on the Spellbinders website before Christmas and have been impatiently waiting all year (yeah ok a month) for them to make it downunder.
My Slimline Easel Card measures 8 1/2 inches x 4 inches. I wanted the extra height so I could include all the characters from the various sets.
To create the card base, I used Lawn Fawns Lawn Fawn's Grassy Hillside Borders die set to add all the grassy areas on both the front and inside of the card.
I also wanted Pooh to be sitting against a tree, so I pulled out a tree die from Hello Bluebird to use for that.
All the other die cut elements used to create this scene are included in the three "Pooh" themed die sets from Spellbinders. I spent a day assembling a heap of characters and so far have been able to make two cards from what I created and have enough left over for at least 2 or 3 more cards, which I will share as I make them.
And finally a look at the bottom panel when it is opened up. I added the honey pots and flowers to each side of the card and then a sentiment for a stopper, which will hold the front of the card up. The sentiment is from the Silly Old Bear Betterpress Plate set.
Apparently today (18th January) is National Winnie the Pooh Day, who didn't enjoy reading the adventures of this adorable bear written by AA Milne whose birthday is today.
As I have a number of Pooh stamps in my stash, I decided to pull some out to create my card today.
For my card today I decided to create a Gatefold Pop-Out card using a tutorial posted by Sam Calcott. You can find Sam's video tutorial here.
Pooh loved honey and bees, so I found some older bee patterned paper in my stash which I used for the side panels of my gatefold card, both on the inside and front.
I used yellow glitter cardstock for the other panels.
For the centre panel, I used an old Pooh rubber stamp and also a piglet one both from Rubber Stampede.
The two sentiments on the side panels are from Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott's Showstopper Sentiments stamp set.
I created a belly band to help keep the card closed. I used circle dies from Creative Craft Products for the circle portion of the belly band. I added a birthday sentiment in the centre and. then to more Pooh themed. images on either side.
I added a panel to the back of the card, for a place to add an additional sentiment and somewhere to write a handwritten message.
Other Supplies:
Big Pooh Rubber Stamp - Rubber Stampede (retired)
Piglet Rubber Stamp - Rubber Stampede (retired)
LJD Birthday Greetings Stamp Set - MFT Stamps (retired)
Thanks for dropping by my blog today. My card today is an Impossible Card using Creative Craft Products 5 x 7 Rectangle Impossible Card die set available from Craft Stash. Back when the Black Friday Sales were on, many of the Creative Craft Products were on sale at really amazing prices, this die was one of the so as I had enjoyed using the oval version of this die set I decided to add the rectangle version to my stash too.
To decorate my card I used a Paddington Bear Ephemera Pack also from Craft Stash. The "beary special" sentiment on the stand up portion of the card is from an older MFT Stamps stamp set.
I also added the "Hip Hip Hooray" sentiment to the bridge piece on the front of the card.
For the reverse side of the card, I added the birthday sentiment using a stamp from LDRS Essential Birthday Sentiments stamp set. I also added one more Paddington image to the other bridge piece of the card.
It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Lynn McAuley our challenge hostess for the month finishes off the month with one last challenge.
Tomorrow (28th October), is International Animation Day. What joyful and action-packed entertainment has filled our lives through the talented creations of the world's amazing animators. In honor of these animators' remarkable work, choose one of your favorite animated characters to feature on this week's CCEE design. How fabulous would it be if you included the name of the animator who created your character!
Back in June I saw a card created by someone that featured this stamp set from Paper Nest Dolls called Stone Age Family ... I loved the card and stamps so I had to order it. Mail is slow these days from the USA to Australia and when they hadn't turned up after two months I contacted the store. Apparently there had been a mix up which was quickly correctly, I just hoped they would arrive in time for this challenge which they did as you can see! I am not sure about you, but I know I spent lots of happy hours as a kid watching The Flintstones by Hanna Barbera Productions.
For my card today I decided to create a Double Slider Card using Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott's Square Double Slider die set. The fun thing about this die set compared to other Double Slider die sets out there, is that you have the option of included 1, 2, 3 or 4 sliders to the card. As you can see by the photo above, I included two sliders one on either side of the main square panel.
Not only does this stamp set come with all the characters including Dino, it also includes their house. I added the house and three of the characters to the main centre panel onto some patterned paper also from Made To Surprise. I computer generated the sentiment at the top of the card, as I wanted something to fit the theme of this card.
I added the two kids to the left pull put panel.
The last two characters are revealed when you pull out the right pull out panel.
This die set also includes a stand to attach to the back of the card so the card can be displayed upright. This is also a good place to add another sentiment and hand write a personal greeting. I added a sentiment and image from Heffy Doodles Prehistoric Pals stamp set, which I thought worked well with this theme.
One last photo to show how the card is displayed using the attached stand at the back. This does fold flat for mailing. The finished card measures approximately 5 1/2 inch high x 6 3/4 inches wide. Of course if you added the extra pull out panels to the top and/or bottom of the card that would change the size again.
Don't forget to check out the CCEE Stampers blog (goes live 12 AM EST) to see the rest of the creations the CCEE Stampers created this week. You can also see more details of their creations on their individual blogs:
Welcome to my blog. Earlier in the month, Sam Calcott released her brand new collection ... Shutter Blind Collection. This collection includes two Shutter Blind die sets, one for 6 x 6 cards and the other for 5 x 7 cards. There were also 4 Christmas themed stamp sets. As I love creating kinetic style cards, I of course had to order them.
It's too early for my to play with my Christmas stamp sets, so I decided to pull out my Paddington Bear stamp sets which I also recently received to create this fishing themed birthday card.
Here is a quick video to see my card in action.
When you pull the tab at the top of the card, the shutters on the front open to reveal an image or message underneath. You could also have an image on the front, but for this card I decided to just have coloured shutters.
Here you can see that the red shutters have completely disappeared, revealing Paddington Bear and a sentiment underneath him.
The tag at the top of the card is also included in one of the Paddington Bear stamp sets, with the "Gone Fishing" and buckets of fish are from an older Art Impressions stamp set.
The sentiment underneath Paddington is an older stamp in my stash from Rubbernecker Stamps.
I decided to make this card a "tent card" by adding a folded paper strip along the bottom of the inside of the card.
I added a panel to the back of my card, so that I could add a sentiment and another image.
The sentiment, note with hook and bucket of fish are all from the Art Impressions stamp set. I masked Paddington's paw so it looks like he is holding the note.
