Tuesday Tutorial # 41 Friendly Wishes Polka Dot card

I'm finally getting around to posting the Tuesday Tutorial for this week.

I've been at the hospital all day, every day for 10 days to be with my husband. He had major surgery and is now home to continue the recuperation! He is very happy to be home and I am happy to be home too! Now I can catch up on my blog!

This week's card is perky, fun and quick to make.

You can get the tutorial now by using this link. 

Have a blessed day,

Friendly Wishes Pocket Card

 I'm still having fun with the papers that are in the Spring Occasions catalog. Here I used them with one of the stamp sets that are in the new catalog which goes live on June 2nd. The stamp set is Friendly Wishes.

The paper is Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper. It was such a pretty paper set that it is already sold out!

I used the new Treat Bag thinlit die to cut out the little bag that the card slips into.

I am anxious to get some new papers to make some projects with, but for now I have several cards that I am going to share and they are mostly created with retiring products. I know that many of you have a bunch of the papers and stamp sets though, so you can still make them. If you don't have the same papers and stamp sets, then you can use the ideas in new and creative ways! That's what I like about crafting, there are as many ways to recreate an idea as there are people to create them.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a blessed day,
Trude 

Friendly Wishes Card

This weekend is Memorial Day so it is a good time for an encouragement card that includes some red, white, and blue.

This card is created with the Maritime Designer Series Paper pack, one of my favorites, and a stamp set that is in the new Stampin' Up! catalog, Friendly Wishes.

I will miss this paper pack, but there is still time to purchase it until June 2nd. I already have an extra pack put away for scrapbook pages.

This card will work for a Father's Day card as well as an encouragement card. You could even put a birthday greeting inside. It is versatile.

I used the circle collection framelits and for the mats I drew around the outside edge of the framelit and cut them out by hand. I used the star framelit set to cut the stars from glimmer papers. The ink is Night of Navy.

I used a Mojo Monday sketch from November 2010. You can check out all their sketches at mojomonday.blogspot.com. They have an archive with 100s of sketches.

Have a blessed day!
