I love this set. It's not in the catalog this time but it is still available to purchase. Sad it isn't in the catalog, it's so pretty. The hummingbird is embossed then cut out and watercolored. I copied this card idea from Pam-HI PAM! She did a card similar to this for a card swap one month. There's nothing wrong with copying.

Logan stamping and more!
Logan made 5 cards the other day. I had an order of 36 cards plus 20 that I was donating to a silent auction plus card swaps for our demonstrator meeting, so I had a lot of stamping to get done by Thursday. Sooooo Logan got to stamp too. He chose to use his helicopter stamp for these cards. He stamps and glues his card all by himself the only thing that I do is cut the paper for him and put the glue on the paper. He had a good time and I did get all my orders done. It took a few naptimes too though. Probaby would have gotten more stamping done if I wasn't sitting there with the camera waiting for a kodak moment. We'll be starting on Christmas cards next month-maybe he'll get to help with those too.....
Logan with his finished card, isn't it cute!!!! He did a good job. Probaby should have gotten a close up of the card but oh well...next time------and there will be a next time, probaby with the wheels, he keeps asking to use the "rowers" too cute!
With my swaps in them...Here's the swap I did by the way....
Thanks for looking, see you tomorrow!

Tutorial Tuesday-Explosion Card
Getting to the card-here's the paper you'll need with dimensions
Your card base 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 score at 4 1/4 (I'm using bashful blue)
Coordinating CS 4 x 5 1/4 (I'm using pumpkin pie)
Designer Series Paper (or DSP), you'll need 2 pieces one 8 x 8 and another 3 3/4 x 5 (I'm using the Summer Picnic paper)
I'll also be using ribbon, dimensionals and a bone folder is helpful, but if you don't have one don't worry about it.
I hope I can expain this so you'll understand, but the pictures will help.
The 8x8 piese of DSP will be the exposion part of your card so we'll work with that first. For this card I want the line pattern on the inside of my exposion so I'm going to fold it with the lines on the inside. If you want a specific patteren on the inside make sure that is on the inside when you start folding.
Then fold it in half. So you should have an 'x' with a line through it.
Your center line will get folded toward the center of the DSP making a triangle shape.
The corners that you just folded will get folded inside the card, as shown above. Do all 4 corners like this. You should end up with a house shape, seen below.
Put adhesive on one side of your 'house' and line the point up with your score line in your card and stick down. Then put adhesive on the other side of your 'house' and close your card and stick it all together.
Here is 3 of the same cards with different DSP. So cute. Hope that wasn't too confusing!
Another Sesame Street project.....
Tomorrow for Tutorial Tuesday I'll post the exposion card we did at stamp camp, with measurements. It was a popular card and everyone asked for a tutorial, so check back tomorrow and I'll have it posted.

Sheep, Sheep and more Sheep
Here is a front, back and side view of the sheep. To make the little tail, I just used the word window punch and cut the end off of it.

Tutorial Tuesday-Treat in a Can
Supplies you'll need are: a can with a pop top, I'm using the small, single serving fruit cocktail cans. My paper measures 8x 1 3/4, but depending on the size of you can this will vary-measure first! I'm also using some simply scrapping pieces. Ribbon to embellish it. And of course your surprise for the inside. I'm using cookies in a cello bag, candy would be fun, little toys if they're for kiddos, the list can go on and on.
Put sticky strip on the paper that your covering your can with and glue to your can.
Embellish as you desire. I kept mine relatively simple, you could add more ribbon, glitter, eyelets , brads, whatever you want.
Stick your treat into the can, top side down. Remember that the recipient of the can will open it through the pull tab on top so if your gift has a top and bottom, make sure that the bottom is facing up during this step--does that make any sense at all??
Put a little crystal effects on the lid and glue it back to the can to seal it. You're done. Time to give it to the lucky, lucky person who will get this wonderful gift.
Here is is opened. Super cute and easy!
Thanks for stopping by! See you tomorrow!
