Amazing Life Birthday Inside Z-fold card for #ppc331

Hello and welcome to my blog; this is my second post for today.  My first post was about the new Storage by Stampin' Up! that will be available on April 1, 2019.  If you missed that post you can see it here.  My card for this weeks Paper Craft Crew challenge is a fun fold card that I call a inside z-fold card featuring the Amazing Life Stamp Set.  Here's a look at my card.

Here's the card that inspired my card today.  You can click on the card image below and check out what all the other design team members created with this weeks inspiration.


I am not a big fan of Tic Tac Toe challenges but this one was actually very fun today.  I picked the #simplestamping, Monochromatic, and Green combo for my card today.

Tips & Tricks:

Remember to turn the designer series paper in the opposite than the one you want to face out.  If you don't the wrong side will be facing out instead of the intended size; not that this may be a bad thing or anything since the designer series paper from Stampin' Up! is like the cutest in the world.  
Make sure that your score lines are nice and creased.  If not your card may not line up right.  
You're going to make valley, mountain, valley folds before attaching this piece to your card mats.  

I hope that you have been inspired by my little card.  Thanks for dropping by make sure you watch the video which was recorded on my YouTube Live yesterday.  If you need any of the products that I have used today you can pick them up in my online store by clicking on the shopping list below.

Amazing Life Good Luck Card for St. Patrick's Day

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am sharing a card I created for St. Patrick's Day which is this Sunday.  I had so much fun creating this card and I used the Amazing Life Stamp Set from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog.  I did a little ink blending, and emboss resist to create this card.  Here's a look at today's card.

Tips & Tricks: 

I mentioned in the introduction that I used the Amazing Life Stamp Set.  I really wasn't kidding when I said that it was a very versatile set.  I started out with a piece of whisper white cardstock and a versamark pad.  I used the little four leaf clover stamp from this amazing stamp set.  I stamped this image over and over the card and used some gold embossing powder over them.  In the center of the card I inked up the sentiment that said good Luck in versamark and then used white embossing powder.  After everything was heat set and cooled it was time to do a little ink blending.  

For the ink blending I used Granny Apple Green, Call Me Clover, and Garden Green inks.  To blend the colors I used the makeup brushes that I shared with you last week.  I started out with Granny Apple Green ink at the top.  Once I had that done I added Call me Clover in the middle and then blended the two together.  At the bottom I repeated the process with Garden Green and blended it into the Call me clover.  Once I had everything blended on I buffed off the ink from the embossing powder with a tissue.  This removed any excess ink from the top of the embossed images.  Next I flipped on a little water from my stampin' spritzer and dried it with a paper towel after if sat for just a few.  
I then cut down the ink blended piece to 4 x 5 1/4.  I then added a white mat cut to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8.  This was then attached to a Call me Clover card base that was 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2.  For the inside of the card I added a piece of whisper white (4 x 5 1/4) and add the three thin strips that I had cut off.  This helped to add a little interest, as well as tied in the inside to the front.  

I hope that you have enjoyed my card for today.  You will find all the supplies listed below in the shopping list below.  Thanks for dropping bye and if this is your first time visiting welcome and I am glad that you are here.  If you are a returning viewer I am so happy your back..  Make sure that you be on the look out for my second post that will come out this afternoon as part of a blog up.  

Happy Stampin'
Rick
