New Card Design (or at least new to me . . . .)

Recently, I saw someone post a beautiful, intriguing card online.  I followed the link and discovered the "Fault Line" card design.  It was perfect timing for me, because I needed to come up with a card the following week for a swap with some of my demonstrator friends.  This is what I ended up making.

Click on image for closer look.

Below is a materials list, as well as links to a few sites where you can see other samples, as well as a YouTube tutorial.  I hope you enjoy this card and perhaps try it yourself!

Materials:

* Daffodil Delight card stock: 9-1/2” x 4-1/4”, scored at 5-1/2” for card base; 5-3/8” x 4-1/4” to cover messy stuff on back of card front
* White card stock: 5-1/4” x 4” for inside
* Floral & Gingham Vellum: 4-1/4” x 3”
* Floral Delight Designer Series Paper:  4-1/4” x 4”
* Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder
* Something Fancy dies (label)
* Layering Leaves stamp set (for sprinkle on label)
* Wildflower Designs stamp set (sentiment)
* Paper Butterfly Accents
* Sponge Daubers
* Classic Stampin’ Pads: Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, Pebbled Path

This link will take you to the card by Sherri Everett where I first spotted this technique:  https://www.facebook.com/profile/100047580051278/search/?q=faultline

This will take you to Loni Spendlove’s site (inspiration for Sherri Everett’s card).  Loni also shared her measurements (the same ones I used for my card):  https://creativejuicebyloni.com/2024/12/27/fault-line-cards-paper-pumpkin-blog-hop/

January 2025 Card Making Schedule

Happy 2025!  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season!  I had a nice break from classes and used much of that time to catch up with friends and family.  But now it's time to get back to work . . . or is it play?!  My January stamping schedule has already begun with Sassy Stamp Camp in Berthoud on Saturday, the 4th.  The remainder of my January class and stamp camp schedule appears on my Upcoming Events Page, along with flyers/registration forms.  My February schedule is also posted, and flyers for those stamping events will be posted as they become available.

As you may have noticed (:o), I haven't had time to post any projects for quite a while.  I'm hoping to be able to remedy that situation soon and resume posting papercrafting ideas and brief descriptions.  Keep your fingers crossed, and check back when you have time.

In the meantime, my class schedule is always up-to-date.  I also will now be posting events not only for the current month, but also the following month.

I hope to see many of you at my upcoming stamping events -- we always have fun and laugh a lot . . . and we actually also make cards!!!

We love offering you the best in paper crafting! To do that and keep our product offering fresh, trendy, and relevant, we regularly evaluate product performance. As demand for a product changes, we’ll move products to our Last Chance Products category in the online store and begin the retiring process to make room for new products. Our Last Chance Products will be an ongoing offer, so you can shop this category at any time throughout the year!

 LAST CHANCE PRODUCTS DETAILS

 Sales Period Begins: December 3

 Details:

·       Last Chance Products include retiring products from both catalogs and online releases, excluding Paper Pumpkin.

·       Last Chance Products in this category are available while supplies last and will be discontinued when they sell out. Items will be automatically removed from the category and the online store when they are discontinued.

·       Discounts vary and are subject to change. Also, depending on inventory, these products may or may not have discounts.

·       The Last Chance Products category will be updated every other month. Updates to this category will happen in February, April, June, August, October, and December. Updates may include additional products in the category and any adjustments to product discounts. Updates happen at the beginning of these months.

·       We may add individual items from bundles or suite collections to our Last Chance Products category. If one or more products from the suite collection or bundle are in the Last Chance Products category, then the bundle and suite collection will also appear in this category. The bundle or suite will not be orderable if one or more of the items in the bundle or suite collection sell out. Our standard 10% bundle discounts will be available if one or more of the items move to the Last Chance Product category; however, the item in the Last Chance Products category may have a deeper discount.

·       There may be times we need to discontinue certain products outside of this process. This can happen due to factors outside our control, such as overseas shipping issues, disruptions to the supply chain for raw materials, or changes to our suppliers. If a product is discontinued outside the process, it won’t be available in our Last Chance Products category.

·       To provide more product information to you, we’ve created two lists: the Last Chance Products List and the Discontinued Products List. All the items on the Last Chance Products List can also be found in the Last Chance Products category in our online store. Once an item is sold out, it will move to the Discontinued Products List and will no longer be a part of our offering.
