Floral Fridy Spanner Christmas card

I love CRAFT ROULETTE because it teaches me to go outside my comfort zone. This week the wheel stopped on a fun fold card called a Spanner card. It has three folds for the recipient to open. This is what the card looks like when you take it out of the envelope. Pretty.

P.S. CRAFT ROULETTE Airs on YouTube every Friday night at 7:10 EST. Here are the details in case you’re interested in checking it out. 

So the border on the bottom is made up of a horizontal strip of Sizzix opulent paper. Layered on top of it is a border from an old paper pack by Die Cuts with a View. The doily in the center is by Stampin Up. It’s hard to see but I adhered tiny red flowers behind the green flower that form a wreath on top of the doily. All flowers are by Prima.

Next, you open the card and you see an embossing folder by Darice and the wreath on top by Jolee’s. It was placed on the back of the white tag to cover it up. 

On the last page/ panel, I added red opulent paper on both sides. When I did that I accidentally bent the paper so I added a sticker by EK Success to cover it up. 

I put a vertical border strip by Die Cuts with a View on the left of the white cardstock and finished with a sentiment by Stampendous.

. I’d never heard of a spanner card so I went to Split Coast Stampers for a tutorial. Tada!

(So I’m noticing that these links give you a “redirect notice”. Tell me if you get that too.)

Thanks so much for stopping by.

November calendar layout remembering Jodi

‘

Who was Jodi? My Mom called Jodi my brother’s “lady friend”. Jodi passed away on January 10th, 2018 from an accidental overdose. These pictures are representations of her, her dog Chloe, who passed away in 2022 and the sweatshirt with her son’s business on the back. The sweatshirt finally fits my niece. 

The bone background paper and the strip of patterned paper are and on the right side are unknown. (The Paper Studio-maybe) The yellow borders were from a paper pad by Die Cuts with a View. The butterfly sentiment and wings were made on my Cricut. The little butterfly to the lower right is a Memory Box die cut. RIP stickers and Chloe was stamped. It seemed appropriate to post this on my birthday, I miss her so much. Thanks for looking.

August calendar layouts Family in yellow

These are almost the same layouts but were in calendars for different people. The main patterned paper is by Die Cuts with a View and the small piece is by Provo Craft. There’s a green star with a heart inside it and I can’t remember where those came from. The heart looks like a brad. The title word “Family” is a Cricut cut and it is adhered to two silver circles that are a circle punch by Creative Memories. The silver paper is by Creative Memories. The heart is a sticker by Sticko/EK Success. 
Thanks for looking.

July Calender layout Young Evalynn fishing at the cottage

Cottage life is fun. Especially when you catch a fish. That sweet little girl is now 13 and doesn’t want anything to do with her aunt. It hurts but there’s nothing I can do about that. All I can do is hope and pray that she’s making good choices.

 

All of the patterned papers are by Die Cuts with a View. The fish die cut was cut out using the Cricut. The bubbles are rhinestones. The wavy paper is the negative of a Tim Holtz scallop boarder. Thanks for looking.
