I keep being drawn back to the Bird Ballad Suite...I just love the colours and images on the Designer Series Paper! For this card I once again pulled out my paper snips and fussy cut a branch of birds, which fit perfectly on one of the Stitched Nested Labels Dies.
Then I cut a panel of Pool Party with the larger of the Stitched Lace Dies. I'm so impressed with how well these new dies work! It cut cleanly and was easy to get all those little pierced bits out with a couple of passes of my die brush. I used dots of Multipurpose Glue to adhere it to a Calypso Coral card base, and Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the birds. A simple but elegant card good for a variety of occasions! I could see making a set of these and giving them as a gift.
Here are links to everything I used:

I gotta admit - the Mosaic Mood Suite did nothing for me when I saw it at OnStage Live - both in the catalogue and on the display boards. Then we were all given a pack of Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper, and my opinion changed!
You can't see it in this pic, but one side of each sheet has glossy accents that are gorgeous. The colours work really well together, too, somehow bright yet soft at the same time.
Here's my first go with it: 
I fussy-cut some images from a couple sheets of the DSP...really not hard to do with these graphics. Then I wrapped a piece of the new ½" Scalloped Linen Ribbon in Terracotta Tile around a layer of Very Vanilla run through the Mosaic 3D Embossing Folder. I attached the fussy-cut pieces to the layer with Dimensionals, then adhered it to a Thick Very Vanilla card base.
Mosaic Mood is another suite that's offered with a single item number (152172) for easy ordering. Here's everything included: 
And here are the items I used to make today's card:

Did you catch my Facebook Live broadcast on Wednesday morning (Tuesday evening in the USA)? If not, you can watch either on Facebook or on YouTube! If you subscribe to my channel on YouTube you'll be notified every time I upload a new video so you won't miss them.
I've seen many nice examples of traditional style cards made with Daisy Lane over the last 8 weeks since we received a set at OnStage. I decided that I wanted to go more contemporary or clean-and-simple (CAS) for my session this week. This is the second card I made - you can see the first on yesterday's post. 
On this one I continued the Basic Black on a splash of colour theme, but this time took my cue from a retired set of Glitter Enamel Dots. I think the blue colour may have been listed originally as Island Indigo, but the new Pretty Peacock works well with it. The other colours are Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive. The color "splotch" is from Geared Up Garage, and I used the same birthday sentiment from Here's A Card that I used on yesterday's card. I again offset the Whisper White layer, but to the opposite corner.

I've seen many nice examples of traditional style cards made with Daisy Lane over the last 8 weeks since we received a set at OnStage. I decided that I wanted to go more contemporary or clean-and-simple (CAS) for my session today. This is the first of 2 cards that I made: 
It is really as simple as it looks: 4 Medium Daisy punch shapes in Basic Black, glued to circles of cardstock that coordinate with the Glitter Enamel Dots (Gorgeous Grape, Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green, and Melon Mambo). The sentiment is from another new set, Here's A Card.
To emphasise the contemporary feel I decided to mount my Whisper White layer offset on the Basic Black card base.
So yesterday's card made a floating frame by cutting out the centre of the pieced images. Today I'm showing what I made with the centre rectangle that I cut out, and calling it a "floating island".
The magnolia bud are popped up on Dimensionals exactly the same way as the ones on the frame on yesterday's card. I layered it on a panel of Petal Pink stamped with a sentiment from Bloom & Grow. Then I added a bunch of the teeny-tiny sequins from the Iridescent Sequin Assortment using the Fine-Tip Glue Pen and putty end of the Take-Your-Pick Tool.

OK, I did not come up with this...I've seen several demonstrators do versions of this floating frame card, but it is pretty cool and I wanted to make one, too.
If you've watched my Facebook Live video from 8 May you will have seen me show off the Magnolia Lane DSP. There's a sheet of these just-opening magnolia buds that coordinate with one of the dies in the Magnolia Memories Dies. I cut out about ¾ of a sheet of these blossoms and laid them out on a layer of Basic Black cardstock. I then laid a piece of Press-n'-Seal plastic wrap* over the whole thing to hold all the pieces in place while I used one of the Stitched Rectangles dies to cut out the centre of the layer. To see how to make the Floating Frame cards, watch this Facebook Live video.
The sentiment is from A Big Thank You and is stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. *if you're in Australia and want tips on how to find Press-n'-Seal drop me a line. Here's what I used to make this card: 
Join me on Wednesdays at 10:00 am (AEST) for an online crafting session! We'll meet up on my Nancy's Nifty Notes Facebook Page and spend around an hour hanging out while I show you a project or two and answer any questions you have.

Today's a public holiday in much of Australia, to honour the Queen of England's birthday (it is a Commonwealth nation, after all). But as I'm learning is typical here, not all of the states observe on the same day. For some reason Queensland (where I actually am today visiting in Brisbane) and Western Australia observe in late September/early October. If you've got a fascination with such things there's more detail here.
Here's a card that combines some sentiments from the Hugs From Shelli Paper Pumpkin Kit and some elements from the Come Sail Away suite. 
I adhered a strip of the Come Sail Away DSP to a layer of Night of Navy that's run through my die cut machine with the Subtle embossing folder. I know the texture is hard to see in this pic, sorry (it is subtle!).
Next I stamped two sentiments from Hugs From Shelli and a sailboat from Sailing Home onto Whisper White and cut it out with at Stitched Nested Labels dies. I cut a second WW label, and cut it in 2, layering it behind the larger label in Night of Navy to help it stand out when popped up. Everything is on a Night of Navy card base and embellished with a couple of the silver Metallic Pearls. Here's a complete list of what I used: (note - Hugs From Shelli is sold out at SU! but I have one for sale) Upcoming Classes

"A card is a hug with a fold in the middle." One of the speakers at April's OnStage Live quoted this, and I love it. My recent Fun Folds Class gave my stampers some new options instead of a simple fold in the middle...this week I've ben showing them to you, and here is the last one:
This card involves a lot of simple, repetitive measuring cutting and scoring. Once one's brain wraps around how it's made it is not particularly difficult. There's a good tutorial at splitcoaststampers.com, but I used one by Bruno Bertucci that had the strips of DSP on the cardstock base. It's for sale as part of Kylie & Bruno's fantastic Everything is Rosy Tutorial Bundle.
We used some of the (now retired) Twinkle Twinkle DSP, and in the centre added one of the totally adorable images from This Little Piggy. I'm so glad this set is carrying over again!
We also added a panel on the back side (not included in the tutorials - just make a second one) to write on.
This will slip right into a Medium Envelope to mail with normal postage. I hope you've enjoyed seeing these alternative ways to make cards...I'll be offering another Fun Folds class down the road and hope to see you there! Still need a Catalogue?
Complete this form and I'll be sure you get one!

This card is CASE'd from Leonie Stuart, and she's got a great tutorial for it.
The new Come Sail Away Suite is so much fun. Besides the great images in the stamp set, the dies are fantastic! Not only do they line up and cut really well, but the ones that cut and emboss at the same time are really nice.
And, there's now a single Item Number (#152175) to purchase the entire Come Sail Away Suite easily! It includes the stamps and die bundle at 10% off, an embossing folder, DSP, twine, trinkets and a Memories & More card pack! Lots of crafty happiness right there, folks!

The Gate Fold card is really the simplest of fun folds - instead of scoring the card base in half, you score one-quarter of the way from each end. Add a decorated panel to just one side, and voilà, a gate fold card!
On this card we also added panels to the "gates"...in this case card stock embossed with the Basket Weave 3D embossing folder. The stamping is done with the Above the Clouds stamp set and the coordinating Hot Air Balloon Punch. I'm loving this colour combo, too - Call Me Clover and Crumb Cake is fresh yet warm and inviting. In all, I think this card would be great for anyone of any age. Here's the complete list of products: Upcoming Classes
