Celebrating with Birthday Jubilee

Celebrated Cinco de mayo with the Birthday Jubilee stamp set and coordinating framelits.  The framelits create perfect papel picado.   I was drawn to a sample in the back of the catalog and "CASED" that changing up some colors.  These are featured in the January-June 2020 mini catalog and are only available until June 2nd.


One of the things I love about "case-ing" is that it gets you playing with stamps, ink, and paper and you are bound to get inspired!  See my card below that I created just after I finished the one above.  In addition to the supplies at the bottom, I used: 
Gray Granite Cardstock and Mango Melody Cardstock & Ink

Hidden Message Fun Fold from Tuesday Night Stampin' Club


If you missed Tuesday Night Stampin' Club last night, I hope you'll be able to watch sometime soon!  This Hidden Message Fun Fold card is actually quite easy to do!  My original card (shown below) used the Magnolia Blooms stamp set and the bulk Magnolia Lane DSP. 
I love how last night's card turned out...and I'm sad that the Abstract Impressions Stamp set and Springtime Thinlit Dies I used are retiring...but they are on sale so don't miss out!  Check out the supplies listed at the end of the post.

Instructions:
  1. Cut a sheet of DSP into a 4" x 12" strip.  Score at 4 1/2" and 9".  Fold on scorelines to create a Z fold.
  2. Take one sheet of Colored Cardstock.  Score at 5 1/2".  Cut in half at 4 1/4".  Take one half and cut 2" off the long 11" edge so it measures 9" x 4 1/4"....this is the card front and middle.  Trim the other half along the 11" edge at 5 3/4"...this is the card back, plus a small section to attache to the card front.
  3. Attach the card back by adhering the 1/4" flap to the card "middle".
  4. Adhere the DSP backward Z to the inside of the 4-1/4" x 9" FRONT, lining both pieces up on the outer edge.
  5. Die-cut and oval about a 1/2" from the edge on the front.  Fold the middle part of the backward Z DSP over where you just cut the oval and cut the same oval through the middle part of the "Z" DSP.
  6. Lay the middle section of DSP over the middle section of the colored cardstock and adhere the extra stamped greeting.
