Hero on a Waterfall

I made a waterfall card for my son's birthday using the Calling All Heroes stamp set.  Here's a picture of the card front:


How this card works is you pull down on the orange tab.  When you do, the top square lifts to reveal what is on the square below it:


I had a Bruce Wayne type guy on the first square.  The second square has a lightening bolt.  Pull it down a bit more, and Batman appears.


I also had stamped Make a Wish on the tab that pulls down.  Pull it down even further, and Batman flips up to reveal CELEBRATE. 


The "Make a Wish" stamp is from the Perfect Pennants stamp set and "celebrate!" came from And Many More, a new stamp set in the 2014-2015 catalog.

Other supplies used:

  • Cardstock:  Bermuda Bay, Whisper White
  • Designer Series Paper:  Confetti Celebration
  • Brads

A Striped Scallop Day

Today was one of my monthly stamp camp classes.  I had made a "diaper fold pouch" and filled it with teabags for each person.  One of these was at each person's place at the table. I used the Tea Party Stamp Set by Stampin' Up! to decorate the front of it.


In class today, we made a card below using the Striped Scallop Thinlit (for the Big Shot).


Besides the Striped Scallop Thinlit, I also used:


Ryn is one of the regulars in the class.  She decided to experiment and add a splash of color to the Striped Scallop.  She also curved her flower petals out; I had curved my flower petals down.  I love how her card turned out:


One more card I made using the Striped Scallop thinlit is below.  I used Bermuda Bay colored cardstock for the base of the card and cut the striped scallop using Coastal Cabana cardstock.  The feather stamp is from the A Happy Horray Stamp Set.


I've become intrigued with all the possible uses of the Striped Scallop thinlit.  It's my new favorite item in the new catalog -- at least until I turn the page and something else catches my eye.
