Be Creative

 Hello friends,

I'm here today to share a unique card I made using the new Karen Burniston  Tea & Coffee die along with two of the new borders.  I used some older stamps from my stash and just enjoyed the card making process.  I have linked Karen's instruction video below so you can see how I assembled the card.


I love how the spoon moves up as the card opens.  You will find links to all the products I used below.


Thanks for visiting,

Designer Challenge - Bunny Ears

 It's Designer Challenge time again and this month our challenge is "Bunny Ears".  I have a card today that was more than one challenge.  My friend, Jan, and I challenge each other on a regular basis to make something special and that we have not made before.  I call it the Jandy Challenge - combining our names. Jan found a Love Pop card for us to make.  It is called a nesting card and I will post a photo of the LP card at the end. 

Here is my Bunny Ears Nesting Card.

Each section slides out from under the previous one.  It took me some time to get all the measurements and I had to make it up as I went along so sorry to tell you there is no tutorial for this one.  All the products I used are linked below.


Below are some photos of each section so you can see the details.







Here is shot of the carrot patch so you can see the details -


So happy you could stop by, have a creative day,

Things are going "swimmingly" -

 Hello Friends - today I have a fun card to share with you.  I asked Karen Burniston to design some dies that go with the cute little animals that we already have.  I wanted some swim floaties and snorkel equipment and she has come through with flying colors. The new Tiny Accessories 4 has all the things I asked for.  So Happy!!

I created a swimming pool using the double floating floor from the House and Fence die set and then added the pool edges by cutting a rectangle that fit.  I have linked one of my previous videos below to show you how to make a double floating floor.  I just love all the animals in the pool with their new toys.  I created a diving board using the Small Scenes Bam Box.

For my card - I have made what I call a reverse easel card.  Most easel cards have a panel that pops up on the front revealing the sentiment but mine has a full front panel that flips to the back.  I made one that has been mailed off so I have made another one with a video to show you how it's done.

Make a Wish

 Hello Friends,

I'm sharing a birthday card today that I made for my friend, Kathy.  It was a special birthday that we celebrated with a luncheon on Friday. 


I made this card exactly the same way I made the card shown below, just changing the Heart Add-Ons for the Candle Add-Ons.  There is also a short video to show you how I did it.
