Hey Everybody,
I have another quilt card for you today. It's for today's challenge on Splitcoaststampers.
| Amy's challenge today is McGee & Company. I chose this as my inspiration for my card. Here is my card. I made a book binding card. The pattern is called a twisting ribbon quilt. I used yellow, white and green like I saw in the towels. I used a tutorial by Cindy Lewis Robinson that my friend shared with me on Facebook. I've added Cindy's instructions so you can give this a try. It is pretty easy to make and lots of fun to try different colors together. This card will probably go to my twin sister who made quilts. I hope you give this a try. It is a great gift for someone who makes real quilts. Thanks for stopping by today. Blessings, Sue |

Hey Everybody,
We had a very interesting challenge today from Anita. You can find it here.
The challenge was to make a double triangle pocket mini book. I've never made anything like this before and at first when I saw it, I said, "Nope, not gonna make it." I asked myself why I didn't want to make it. Did it look too difficult? Would I not have a use for it? I looked at the photo directions then the video. The video went too fast and her mini book didn't look like mine. I looked at other samples that people made and saw that they were like mine.
Sometimes when I try something new like this, I use copy paper so I don't ruin good designer paper. Once I saw other samples I decided that I could tackle this and if I was going to try to do it, I was going to use some of my favorite retired fall paper.
The written tutorial can be found here.
| Keywords: TLC1121 |
| Stamps: Gathering Moments |
| Paper: vanilla, SU-Blackberry Beauty designer series paper |
| Paper Size: 4" x 4" |
| Ink: rich razzleberry, golden glow |
| Accessories: gold ribbon, gold gems, dimensionals, Modern Label punch |
| Techniques: Double Triangle Pocket Mini Book |
Check out some of the samples others made. I like this idea of making gift tags, maybe for Christmas.
I have to say, I'm sure glad I made one of these. It's given me all kinds of cute ideas for small gifts.
I am continuing to keep the Splitcoaststampers Challenge information on my daily blog as a reminder in case you or some of your friends want to do a challenge or two. I'm thinking of inviting some people to do some together.
Blessings,
Sue

Hey Everybody,
The challenge for today is a sketch challenge.
| Marion has shared the sketch for today. You can find it here. Here's my card. I turned the sketch and used the designer series paper that was still on my desk from yesterday. The paper is retired and called, Unbounded Beauty by Stampin' Up. I cut the rectangles of designer series paper then rounded the corners. I layered them with berry burst but didn't round those corners. I punched flowers and leaves and layered them to add to the sentiment. The punch I used is called, Petal Park builder punch. I added the resin dots at the bottom. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

Hey Everybody,
Today I have a quilt card that was fairly easy to make. This is called a Pie Star Quilt. This card is for two challenges today on Splitcoaststampers. The first challenge is the color challenge. The second challenge is called the Teapot Challenge.
The Teapot Challenge is one where we make a card and send it to someone who is in need of cheering up. This week we are sending cards to a woman who used to work for Hallmark and is having heart surgery.
Here are the colors for the challenge: Petunia Pop, Summer Splash and Berry Burst.
Dessert for the challenge is to use ribbon.
My card uses designer series paper from a retired paper called, Unbounded Beauty. On my card, where it appears blue, is actually the summer splash, a greenish color like you see above.
I saw it on Julie Heitz's YouTube the other day. Take a look.
Here's another card I made using the new designer series paper called, Sunflower Fields. It is in the Sept. to Dec. 2026 catalog which can be ordered from Sept. 1st. I think I will make another one with this paper and not put the four corners in. That way it will look like a sunflower. Maybe I'll put those pieces inside the card.
Thanks for stopping by today.
Blessings,
Sue
