Colorful Seasons Card

I hope everyone is having a nice Memorial weekend and a very good Memorial Day.  Thank you to all that have serviced and are currently serving for all of us.

For my card this week I used the Colorful Seasons stamp set and Seasonal Layers, the coordinating thinlet dies.  We are very lucky that this set will be carried over to our 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.  This set is good for all seasons though out the year.  Below the picture of the card is my Facebook live video showing how I put this card together.  Below the video are links to items used for the card.

Be sure to join me on my Facebook lives every Sunday evening at 8:00 central time.  My facebook page is Delightful Fun.

Have a great week everyone.

Jar Of Love Card

Good Monday morning everyone.  I live in central Texas and we have been getting so much rain.  It is wonderful as long as I don't have to drive in it.  I grew up in New Mexico and lived for 10 years in El Paso, Texas where rain is not as abundant as it is here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.  (Of course neither are the tornados).  But living in El Paso has made me really appreciate and enjoy the rain.  I love everything green and the further east you go the prettier it is.  We have been lucky with no tornados and not very big hail hitting at our house.  Also, on the days that we have had something planned, we have had beautiful weather.  Yesterday was one of those beautiful days.  We spent the day outside and loved it.  Sitting on the porch with the breeze blowing was perfect.  I know these days are limited.  Soon it will be in the high 90's and up in the 100's for the summer.

After enjoying a beautiful day I came home and did my live video using the Jar Of Love Stamp Set.  I love this set and am sad to see in retiring in less than a month.  I am posting a picture of the card, the video and the supplies used to make the card.  I usually give the dimensions of the paper I am using but forgot to remeasure it out for the video so I will also list that.

I take care of 2 of my grandsons during the week (one is in school and one is at home) and my daughter is a teacher.  It is the last week of school here which means next week I start my summer vacation.  I hope everyone has a fantastic week.



I used Poppy Parade for the base of the card:  5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and fold in half to make a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 front.  The Basic Black matte measures 5 x 3 3/4  and the Whisper White measures 4 3/4 x 3 1/2.
The Whisper White inside paper is 5 x 4.

Daisy Delight Card

I had a wonderful Mother's Day and hope all of you did too. 

The card I did on my last live was a Daisy Card using the Daisy Punch.  The punch makes it so easy to create some beautiful flowers.  We do also have the Daisy Delight Stamp Set so that you can stamp the daisies before punching them out but on this card I did not do the stamping.  I did stamp the sentiment from the Jar Of Love Stamp Set but that was all the stamping there was.  This is a card you can make in no time as long as you have the punch.

One Sheet Wonder

I have been having fun with this one sheet wonder.  I found the dimensions on Pinterest posted by Nicolle Balesimo who had got them from Kathy Roney.  Thanks to both of you for sharing these fun cards.  I used the same dimensions but changed up the cards some to go with the stamps that I had. 

I made the cards on my Facebook live last night and gave all of them away in the Share Drawing.  Be sure to join me every Sunday night at 8:00 central time.  I always have a drawing for those who share the video.

Below are pictures of the dimensions for both the DSP and mattes and of each card.  You can watch the video on my Facebook page "Delightful Fun" to see how they went together.

Bath & Body Works Sanitizer Gift Box

Spring is here and summer is right around the corner.  Everyone will be out and about more than in the cold winter.  Now is a perfect time to pass the sanitizer around and what better way to do it than in this cute little gift container.  You can make a lot of these in no time at all and pass them to your friends, your little ones team parents, teachers, patients...and the list goes on.  I hope you enjoy making these.  I found the instructions on Pinterest from The Paper Pixie.  Below the video are measurements and a template.

 
Cut a piece of cardstock 4 1/2 x 4 1/2
Line up on you Envelope Punch at 1 1/2" punch and score and at 2 3/4" punch and score.
Follow score lines for the next 2 sides.  Punch and Score
On the last side you will still line up with the score lines but for the 1st punch you will not score.
You will punch and score for the last one.
 
Here is a picture of the template.  The shaded part on the top gets cut off.
On the bottom you will cut up to the score line to create flaps.
 
 
Cut a piece of designer paper at 5 1/2" x 1 7/8" to wrap around box.
I added some tear and tape to attach it in the back.

DIY Photo Album

 As promised from my Facebook Live last night, I am here this morning to give you the measurements of the photo album I made.  I am so sorry...
