Hi Stampers. Today I have another dinner jacket card for you today. Yesterday’s dinner jacket was ivory – today’s is done in red (Cherry Cobbler). Today’s red dinner jacket also has a little different “cut” to it.
Much like yesterday’s card, the card base is Thick Basic White CS and the “shirt” is constructed first before adding the “jacket”. The red dinner jacket is made from a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Cherry Cobbler CS with the V die cut out of it using the Suit & Tie Dies. Next, I die cut the lapel, buttons, tie and pockets out of Basic Black CS.
For a slightly different “cut” to the red dinner jacket, I used paper snips to cut down to the bottom of the card from the point of the V and cut the lapel in half in the middle. Next, I attached the lapel and pocket to each side of the jacket. The two halves were then adhered to the card, giving the even border on the sides and overlapping the jacket in the middle. Buttons were added to the top, where it overlapped, so it really looks buttoned shut.
Inside the card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Cherry Cobbler followed by a 3-3/4″ x 5″ layer of Basic White. The sentiment, from the Handsomely Suited stamp set, is stamped in Tuxedo Black ink. In keeping with the color scheme, I stamped bow ties, also from the Handsomely Suited stamp set, in upper left and lower right using Cherry Cobbler and Tuxedo Black ink.

Hi Stampers. I’ve been preparing a class by mail using the Handsomely Suited bundle. I was having so much fun playing around I kept going and came up with several cards to share here on my blog. (The cards for the class are exclusive to the class).
This card was very simple to make. It started with a Thick Basic White card base and then I built the Ivory Dinner Jacket on the card front using the Suit & Tie Dies. The shirt had to be built first, by adding the center piece and adding the buttons and the collar.
The jacket is made out of a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Very Vanilla. Using the dies, I die cut the V into that layer and then cut the lapel out of Very Vanilla CS as well. Next, the pocket square was glued to the pocket and then to the suit – before the lapel. The lapel is glued at the bottom and attached with mini stampin’ dimensionals at the top. Basic Black was used for the bow tie and dinner jacket buttons.
Inside the card is another 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Very Vanilla with a 1/2″ strip off Cherry Cobbler across the bottom. After attaching it, I thought it looked a bit like a cummerbund. The sentiment is from the Handsomely Suited stamp set and is stamped in Tuxedo Black ink. Wouldn’t this make a great card for a best man at a wedding?

Hi Stampers, have you wanted to make a card a little extra special without adding a lot more work? I might have just the fold for you! Today’s wedding card is elegant, yet simple to make.
This beautiful wedding card starts off with a 5-1/2″ x 11″ of Gray Granite card base, scored at 4-1/4″ and 8-5/8″. The large magnolia flower from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set was stamped randomly all over using Gray Granite ink. A corner rounder was used to round the two corners on the 2-3/8″ flap.
The wedding card is held together with a “belly band”, this is simply a strip of Petal Pink CS followed by a slightly narrower strip of Peony Garden DSP that wraps around the card to hold it closed.
Stampin’ Tip: Note, the second score line on the card base is 1/8″ extra (instead of 8-1/2″) to give clearance room to close the card. Likewise, the belly band is 1/8″ large and loosely closed so it can easily slip on and off.
A belly band is simple piece, but can easily be stepped up by stamping the large magnolia from the Good Morning Magnolia colored with the Stampin’ Blends and then die cut using the Magnolia Memory Dies.
Inside the wedding card I have double layered for added depth. It starts with a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Petal Pink CS followed by a 3-3/4″ x 5″ layer of Whisper White. The stamping is done on the Whisper White layer in Gray Granite and Petal Pink ink.
This simple belly band holds the wedding card closed and the large magnolia (with the added sparkle of Wink of Stella) added to the top gives it a very elegant look.
What a beautiful wedding card to give to newlyweds. Change up the colors and the stamp sets and you have an entirely new look! Think of all the possibilities! What kind of card would you make with this fold?

Hi Stampers – Happy Monday! I love Monday’s, they feel like a fresh start. Monday mornings I sit down with my coffee and plan out the day and the rest of the week. Monday afternoon I do a Facebook Live class at 2:30pm Mountain Time on my business page. This gift card holder was something that I taught how to make on one of those Facebook Lives.
It can be hard to figure out what to give a couple as a wedding gift and get cards have gotten quite popular. I have an idea you can use to dress up those gift cards and make it a gorgeous presentation.
These are made using an 8″ x 8″ piece of Peony Garden Designer Series Paper, but could be made using any Designer Series Paper. Hey! Good thing there is a SALE on Designer Series Paper happening this month! It would be good to made some for the upcoming holidays.
Inside the holder, there is a 3-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ layer of Basic Gray CS covered by a 3-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ Whisper White CS layer. The Whisper White layer was first stamped using the Prized Peony stamp set and Petal Pink ink. This makes it not just gift card holder, but also a card.
A strip of ribbon attached to the backside with glue dots and then tied in a bow on the front. I have included the video of how to do this below. You can see the other two cards in this video HERE and HERE. If you would like to see just how to make this and not the other two cards – fast forward to 22:10 in the video.

Hi Stampers. Today’s card is a (Painted Harvest) card-in-a-box wedding card I made almost a year ago. If you want measurements, etc, you can find the video tutorial on this prior post.
My husband and I attended a wedding last fall that had a sunflower theme. I decided to make the card to coordinate with the wedding theme.
This card starts with a Soft Suede card base (see video mentioned above for the measurements), followed by a layer of Crushed Curry.
The Painted Harvest stamp set was the perfect fit for the theme. To keep it country, I used Very Vanilla layers to stamp onto.
Gold stampin’ emboss powder and Versamark ink helped make the sentiments on each panel stand out. All of the Very Vanilla layers also had sunflowers (from the Painted Harvest stamp set) stamped in Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry ink. The center of each sunflower is stamped in Soft Suede ink wile the leaves were all stamped in Garden Green ink.
Inside the box are a Sunflower (stamped from the Painted Harvest stamp set and cut out using my Brother Scan-n-Cut) and leaves punched out using the leaf punch. There are also 3 balloons punched out using Soft Suede, Crushed Curry and Garden Green CS and the Balloon Bouquet punch. A gold gel pen was used to make the reflection on each balloon.
To represent the bride and groom, I used the heart punch. The bride heart is cut from Sparkle Glimmer Paper, with a few pearl basic jewels to make her necklace. For the Groom is punched from Very Vanilla CS, with a second heart cut in Soft Suede with a V cut from the front and glued over the Very Vanilla heart. This combination makes this heart look like a groom in a suit. Since it was a country wedding, I hand cut what is supposed to be a bolo tie and made shirt buttons using a Soft Suede Stampin’ Write marker.
I love card-in-a-box cards. They fold flat to put into an envelope, but then pop up to make a great display piece.

Hi Stampers. Today’s card features the First Frost Bundle, which is another very pretty set retiring at the end of this month. 🙁
This card starts with a Gorgeous Grape card base and then a layer of watercolor paper. I used Balmy Blue ink and the Aqua Painter to create this watercolor wash technique for the background. Next, I stamped a few of the greenery and then did lots of layering of die-cuts over the top of that.
The sentiment, from First Frost, was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink onto a stitched oval and backed with a Gorgeous Grape scalloped oval. I chose to do springs in Balmy Blue and Gorgeous Grape CS to pop out form behind the ovals.
All layers were placed over a strip of 3/8″ silver edge ribbon using stampin’ dimensionals. Finally I added the flowers to the front of the card too. The First Frost flowers were stamped in Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather inks and die cut using the coordinating, Frosted Bouquet, dies.
