Hi Everyone! Today I want to share a card that we made at Stamp Camp last weekend. This card features a fun technique called the Basket Weave fold and it is so pretty and looks hard but is actually very simple. I saw it a few times in the past online, and then this past Valentine's Day one of my Stamper Friends gave me a card with this technique and I vowed to try it for myself. Though it took me a while, I finally got around to it and it is very fun!
I found a template here at Splitcoaststampers. This is a great stampers website that if you are not familiar with, I really recommend you check them out. They have a HUGE resource library and gallery of cards. You can even search the Stampin' Up! gallery and find samples of cards for each stamp set Stampin' Up! has made for the last who knows how many years, all cataloged alphabetically so they are easy to find.
Anyway, onto my card :)
I made a video to show you step by step how to achieve the basket weave along the fold.
I used the Colorful Seasons Bundle to make the leaves. This design can really be used for any occasion, fall birthday, thank you, sympathy, anything. I used Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry. Here is what the inside and outside looks like when open. The recipient of the card will be amazed and think this was a tricky fold, but it was really so easy.
I hope that you like the card.

Hi everyone! Today I am participating in a Global Blog hop with my Facebook Friends from the group Scrapbooking Global. We are a group of Stampin' Up! enthusiasts who decided we needed a place to share our scrapbooking ideas or questions. If you are interested in joining our group, I hope you do. We have a challenge on Fridays to get your creativity flowing, and lots of photos in our gallery to give you ideas on how to use your Stampin' Up! products on your pages. This is our First ever Blog Hop! I hope you enjoy it and get some Scrapbooking inspiration!
I decided to use the Colorful Seasons bundle on my Blog Hop project because it is just such a great bundle for Scrapbookers! The Bundle has images and dies for every season, and it is so pretty and versatile.
I love the pretty snowflakes and that there are three sizes. The fall leaves, cherry blossoms and summer images will get a lot of use on my pages this year as well.
I started out by just cutting a variety of snowflakes. I used Whisper White and Dapper Denim cardstock, as well as vellum.
I also used my Aqua Painter to make some that are multicolored. I just painted some Dapper Denim ink onto some Whisper White cardstock, then cut the snowflakes out. I love the random color I achieved on the snowflakes.
I used a card from the Memories and More Color Theory Card Pack to add a title. I used the 2 1/4 inch circle punch to cut just the sentiment out. I layered some silver ribbon behind.
To add a touch more silver to the page I also added some rhinestones to the centers of some of the snowflakes.
With all those snowflakes and the card pack on my desk, I couldn't help but make a card as well. I even used the card with the circle cut out as a layering piece behind my "Let it Snow" card!
I hope that you like the project I chose for this Blog Hop! You can continue to follow along to the other blogs in the hop by clicking the Next button below! I hope you find some inspiration for your scrapbooking!! You can also join our Scrapbooking Global community on our Facebook Page.

Hi Everyone!! I am out of town this week celebrating my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. Our family has vacationed up in Sister Bay Wisconsin for several generations and so it is fitting that we celebrate this occasion as a family up there this year. My whole family, my sister and her family, my brother and his family and my parents are all up there at the same time! It is going to be a great week.
I thought I would show you the card I made for my parent's anniversary. I think it is perfect for this year!
I used several different sets on this card, something rare for me, I tend to stick to one set. The Happy Anniversary is from the Best Birds set, the water, seagulls and interior birds are from the High Tide set, and the beach chairs are from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits dies, part of the Colorful Season bundle, a must have this year!
I cut the chairs out with the dies and the Wood Textures designer series paper stack. On this second card I forgot to stamp the water!! OOPS! but the Ombre paper in the background makes this mistake OK don't you think? That is from the Color Theory paper stack.
I made a quick video showing how to put this card together, but if you like the water, add that before the sand :)
I will be back next week! Probably needing a vacation to recover from my vacation :)
Check out this fabulous bundle!! Great all year with the snowflakes, leaves, cherry blossoms, and fun summer waves, lemonade and chairs. Seriously you need this bundle :) Just zoom your eyes onto the dies alone!! The leaves and snowflakes are gorgeous!!
