Heading out for Sisters' Week

Last week I got to travel here for work ...

Today I'm packing up and heading out for Sisters' Week 2016 (we're expanding Sisters' Weekend to a full week ... can't wait).

Never-Ending Holiday Snow

This week at Jingle Belles we're doing a little Shake, Rattle & Roll ... which means we're making cards with an interactive element such as shakers, pop-ups, sliders, etc.

I won't lie ...  I was intimidated by the concept.  Interactive cards require precision ... and I'm more of an eye-ball-it crafter.  I looked through the tutorial list at SplitcoastStampers and decided that the Never-Ending Card looked like something even a measurement-impaired crafter like me could do.  There was a photo tutorial as well as a video tutorial, so that helped a lot.  

I used three coordinating blue designer papers from the same holiday collection and added lots of stickers.

Here's the front of the card.

Then when you open in the middle folding up & down, you get view number two.

Then you fold a third time to get the next view.

And the final view takes you here.

And then you start all over again.

I hope you'll browse through the tutorial gallery ... or use one of our cards for inspiration ... and join the interactive card fun.

Rubbernecker Stamps and Eyelet Outlet

Our Eyelet Outlet Design Team had the privilege of creating designs using awesome Rubbernecker Stamps.  There were so many choices, I had a hard time narrowing down my stamps ... and the ones I picked are fantastic.

My first card features 7 images from the Rubbernecker Diva Inchies stamped in black.  I am a huge inchie fan and this set is filled with awesome girlie images.

 

I combined the inchies with the Women's Eye Glass & Cell Phone Selfie Brads from Eyelet Outlet.

 

 

I also cut individual gems from one of the Swirl Bling in Jewel Pink to embellish the stamped images.

 

 

 

My second card features Rubbernecker Stamps Heard You're sentiment, which pairs perfectly with some Bandaid Brads from Eyelet Outlet.

 

 

Here's a close-up of the text.

 

 

My final card features a gorgeous Rubbernecker Stamps Wild Garden Border 1 stamped in green on a piece of blue designer paper.

 

 

The Wild Garden was the perfect place for all sorts of Eyelet Outlet creatures to frolic.  There are two orange butterfly brads.

 

 

And a little baby bunny hiding in the grass.

 

 

I also added sun and cloud brads in the sky with some sticker sentiments.

 

I hope you have fun browsing through the Rubbernecker Stamp Gallery (they are so many cool images) and using lots of fun Eyelet Outlet products too.

I used this week's Freshly Made Sketch for a quick & classy Wedding card.

I know I've mentioned it before, but I am in love with Eyelet Outlet's Glitter Washi Tape ... it adds all of the glitz with none of the mess.
