All my stamps make me happy but this one just makes me all warm and fuzzy…
Wouldn’t this make a grrrrrreat graduation card?
Although those grads want to be all grown up…but a secret part of them wants to stay a kid;)
I had so much fun playing with this stamp set, I am really glad I got it!
Thanks for buzzing by, friends…

I also wanted to share a “Celebration” card with you using the Hold on to Hope stamp set.
I used the Sale-a-bration Shimmer Ribbon- the silvery shimmer on the black paired well with the
rhinestones in the middle of the flowers made from the Tree Builder Punch!
I call it a “celebration” card because you get to pick the celebration…
is it a birthday? a graduation? a baptism? a christening?
a confirmation? or may be even a bridal shower?
Don’t you just love those little corner images?
I can see those cuties adorning many a card in the future!
Thanks for buzzing by, friends…

Hello, friends!
I have another fun fold video for you today using the
Hold on to Hope Bundle found in the Occasions Catalog.
Here is how you create a Bridge Fold Card:
Notice the framelit that cut out the fancy cross below is an additional one that does not coordinate with any image-
how nice to have that, huh? I inlaid the cross in the cut out I made with another die after stamping the foliage.
Here is a simple way to finish off the back to write a message of encouragement or sympathy.
The Hold on to Hope Stamp Set is a versatile one that offers a variety of uses
because of these two sentiments-

I was playing around with the SU Totally Trees stamp set this weekend…LOVE IT!
So many fun things to do with a set with this many images…
I also had the SU Stitched Shapes Framelits on my desk so I introduced them to each other, and this is what came out of it:
I even invited two of the newer In Colors 2016-18- Flirty Flamingo and Peek-a-boo Peach to the party. I think they hit it off, don’t you think?
The sentiment is from SU Bunch of Blossoms stamp set. Don’t overlook this stamp set with its coordinating punch either! I really like the font used for the sentiments in this set and they fit in the Stitched Shapes Framelits, too…and the parts of the flowers kind of look like seashells and starfish to me. Gotta love the stems, too. I need to make you a card soon to show it off, huh?

Hello friends!
As you are reading this…I am at my first day of the SU Convention!! And, Can You Case It # 79 understands how busy this week is…and I knew it would be so I saved this to show to you this week!
I recently had the awesome opportunity to demonstrate a project at our last Demonstrator Meeting up on the big screen- nervous but shows I may in the future get around to doing a video for you all! Thankfully, the crowd was so encouraging and Linda and Matt Heller did all the videography!
I made a Notecard File Box using the SU Tin of Cards and the SU Bountiful Border stamp sets. I did two different versions. The first one uses the File Tab Edgelits to make the dividers and the SU You’re So Sweet stamp set to adorn the front. The second one uses a floral punch, and DSP so it is a Tic-Tac-Toe at the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge #6.
This one uses the Oval Punch and Scallop Oval Punch to make the divider labels.
As you can see, I chose a fresh, bright color palette of SU Pacific Point, Crushed Curry, Watermelon Wonder, and Cucumber Crush.
To make this simple little file box, follow these instructions:
Start with a 9 ½” x 9 ¾” piece of cardstock
On the 9 ¾” side, score at 4 ½” and 6 ½”
On the 9 ½” side, score at 2 in and 7 ½”
Cut in on 4 ½” and 6 ½” score lines up to the 2” score line on both sides. Trim off a little sliver piece from both sides of each flap to facilitate tight corners that fold in easily. Keep the box flush with a hard surface as you put it together. I used Snail Adhesive to put the box together since it is not holding really heavy stuff. But, you can use tear and tape or FUSE adhesive to put the box together for extra hold.
I prefer the look of finished front corners so I wrapped the shorter front flaps over the taller back flaps. This also helps you see a line when you can cut the angles on the sides with your scissors from the front to the back. But if you do it with the taller flaps coming to the front, you will still be okay:) I talk from experience!
Decorate the front with DSP cut to 5 ¼” x 3”
Make a flower using the Pansy Punch and leaves using the Fun Flower Punch or
Use You’re So Sweet “Just For You” image.
The dividers in the upper photo are die cut with the File Tab Edgelits with the same width of 5 3/8″ but with staggering heights of 4″, 4 1/8″, 4 1/4″, and 4 3/8″. Alternate each divider from front to back with the two different file tab edglits.
The dividers in the the second box with the Pansy Flower are all cut to 4″ x 5 3/8″ and corner rounded on each side.
Wouldn’t you like to see the cards inside?
Well, buzz by the next few days to see them…
