Tuesday Tutorial # 80

For today's Tuesday Tutorial I used the Detailed Floral Framelits and the Floral Phrases stamp set. I haven't used this bundle much yet. I look forward to doing more cards with it.

My friend, Jeannie, knows that I like the beach and everything about it. We both like lighthouses, beach scenes and marine life cards. Here's one that she made for me using a lighthouse stamp. I love the little shell brads too.


The new Stampin' Up! spring Occasions Catalog has a lighthouse stamp set in it. I'm sure I will be making a lighthouse card in the near future!

Tuesday Tutorial # 79

Here it is another Tuesday! Time flies when you're having fun, the saying goes.

All the snow days we've had this month has helped me stay home so that I could catch up on all my projects and blogging. Actually my most time consuming project is this blog. I don't know how people keep up with their project creations, video creations and blog posts! I guess they are more organized than I am.

Enough talk! Here's this week's Tuesday Tutorial! ☺

Here's a cute Valentine. Don't you just love the little Hedgehogs? They are so cute!

I'm not sure which company manufactured this stamp. There are several that have sold Hedgehog stamps, including Stampin' Up!.


Thanks Betty, for this cute little card. 

Have a blessed day,
Trude

Tuesday Tutorial 78

Have you seen the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle yet? I think there are going to be some wonderful pins on Pinterest with this set!

That is the set that I chose to use for the Tuesday Tutorial this week and the photo of this card does not do the card justice. It has clear Wink of Stella on the wings to make them sparkle.

Have you started building your birthday card stash for this year's birthdays? It's one thing on my to-do list. I am going to be including at least one birthday card in each card class for the next few months!

Here is a birthday card that was created by my friend Eileen. It is simple elegance. Don't know what company manufactured these stamps.


The new 2017 Occasions catalog has so many birthday stamp sets! It's amazing. What is your favorite set in the new catalog?

It's so hard to choose. I think I NEED all of them☺.

To begin the new year's friend shares I am sharing one from my friend, Jeannie. I always love her cards. She likes to create scenic cards. And she loves the outdoors and animals. So, many of her cards are created around those themes.


Isn't the card fantastic? The background is created with melted waxes. I don't know the technique (I believe it is called encaustic?). I wish I lived close to her so that she could teach me!

I don't know what company she purchased the Manatee stamps from. If you know, please leave a note in the comments. Thank you.

Have a blessed day,
Trude

Happy New Year!

This is the first Tuesday Tutorial of a new year.

We have to get going on our valentines, so that is what I am sharing today. There are other occasions that would be appropriate for a heart card, so it doesn't have to be used for a valentine.
