UdderlyAwesome Stamping From The Heart

High Tide: Encouragement

I was trying to think of a card that I could make to encourage a friend who is going through a difficult time.

The light of the Lord really shines through this man and his family.

This card will be just perfect!

I'm not sure that I still have the product that makes the splash of color at the top.  I'll check in the morning.  If I don't have it, I'll punt and come up with plan B!!!

Have a Hoot Versatile Card

Wouldn't you love to receive this card?!  Or, make one to send?

It could be a card for an anniversary, for your grandchildren, your children, a good friend etc!

Here are the sizes of white card stock that you can cut to fit behind each window.

• The main card is 8 1/2"x 5 1/2", folded in half.
• The white layer is 4"x 5 1/4".
• The frame layer is 3 3/4"x 5"  Be sure to cut it to size before you cut out the three windows (in one die).
• Be sure to cut out the frame BEFORE you emboss.  Cutting after you emboss flattens out the embossing.
• The tiny heart is cut out of the Well Written dies.
• The other hearts are cut out with the Stitched Be Mine Dies.

• I have listed below the  products that were used on the this card.

Celebrate Sunflowers Remake

I'm sure you have experienced making a card and then deciding that you want to change something! After continuing to look at my Celebrate Sunflower card from my 9-11-20 video, I decided that it needed a layer of gold to make it pop.

The first picture is my original card without the gold layer.

Now I have added the gold layer which is 3 1/2"x 4 3/8".

The Soft Suede is 3 1/4"x 4 1/8".

 The Pinewood Planks embossed layer is 3"x 3 7/8".

Normally, each layer is 1/4" larger or smaller than the next one.

If you didn't catch the video on 9-11-20 showing how to add color to the embossed Crumb Cake c/s, you can watch it here.

Why is my group called UdderlyAwesome?

Some of you have asked why my group is called the UdderlyAwesome Stampers!

When I was seven, I lived in Normal IL and my dad decided to move us out of town to a farm in Ellsworth.  Even though we only farmed for two or three years, farm life made a deep impression on me.

When I had the opportunity to name my group, I decided that we would be the UdderlyAwesome stampers.

Here is some of the cow paraphernalia you can see around my home.

Got to love it, right?!?

I have more, but that is probably enough!

I want people to know that they are UDDERLY AWESOME!!!

Tis the Season: Easy Thank You or Christmas Card

I realize that it is only September, but I know that a number of you are already thinking about what you might want to use as a Christmas card or a Christmas thank you.

My friend, Barbara Thomas, saw a card with this same idea on Pinterest and shared it with me.  So I took it from there and designed a simple card that is both beautiful and doable!

I used the Tis the Season designer paper and the Bow Builder Punch.

I added the Absolutely Argyle Embossing Folder to the top bow.

Now let's make it an easy Christmas card.

For interest, I added the first bow punched out with the Bow Builder Punch flat onto the 1/2" Shaded Spruce band.  Then I added several dimensionals on each side at the top of the bow on top.  I added regular adhesive to the bottoms of each side of the bow.

You can go on and on with all of the pretty prints in the Tis the Season papers.

• The Thank you is from Peaceful Moments.
• The Merry Christmas is from Snowman Season.
• I used Real Red and Shaded Spruce card stocks and inks.

I have listed below the  products that were used on the this card.

Cube Card for my Granddaughter

My son's daughter, MaKenzee is turning one this week!

I decided that it might be fun to try to design a cube card for her birthday.

I dipped into my retired designer papers to find a pink that looked like a party!!

Here's what I came up with.  I think that it is pretty busy.  But I figure that a one year old is not going to give a critique of her card!!!

Click here to watch my You Tube Video with the steps to make the EASY CUBE STYLE CARD.

It doesn't look easy, but trust me.  It is!

• You are so loved is from the set "A Grand Kid".
• I cut out the You are so loved with one of the Layering Squares Dies.
• The Happy Birthday is from Peaceful Moments but I could have used the one from A Grand Kid.
• I cut out the Happy birthday with one of the Stitched so Sweetly Dies.
• The numbers are the retired "LIttle Numbers" from several years ago.  I've got to get busy and order the Playful Alpabet Dies that have both letters and numbers!!!
• The Melon Mambo Designer Paper was in my retired stash.  I needed something bright and girly for MaKenzee!!!
• I used the Absolutely Argyle Embossing Folder on the balloons from the Balloon Bouquet Punch.
• I forgot to add it below, but I used the Umbrella Builder Punch to get the stems for the balloons.

Cube Card with Video: Looks Tricky, But it is So Easy!

When my friend, Michelle Halleen, showed me this type of card last weekend, I thought that it was going to be pretty tricky to make!  I was pleasantly surprised to learn how easy it is to put together!

Wouldn't you love to get this card?!

You find the video in the red link below the pictures.

I'm not sure why this picture is yellow, but you get the idea of how it looks when it comes out of the envelope.

Click here to watch my video showing the simple steps involved in making the cube card.

When you are working with colored card stock, add two panels that are 3 3/4"x 1 3/4" to the back so that you have a place to write your note.

• Start with an 8 1/2"x 8" piece of card stock.
• With the 8 1/2" side lined up at the top of the Simply Scored Board, score at 2", 4", 6", and 8".  You'll be left with a 1/2" flap.
• Turn the card stock so that the 8" side is at the top of your cutter and cut off two 2"x 8 1/2" pieces. You are cutting perpendicular to the scores, not with them.
• Add Tear & Tape to the flap on each of the three pieces.
• Score and put the three little boxes together.
• Watch the video to see how to attach the two little boxes to the one bigger one.
• The first layer that you add to the front of the boxes will be 1 3/4" square.
• If you add a second layer, it will be 1 1/2" square.
• I added a Happy Birthday greeting from Peaceful Moments and the second greeting is from the Forever Fern Bundle.
• The little tabs that hold the greetings on are 3/4"x 1 1/2".
