August 2025 Stampin' Duckling Blog Waddle - Fun Folds

 Hi all!

This month I will be sharing you a really fun, fun fold card...so much fun I made two different ones using the wonderful new products from Stampin'Up.



Here is the first card, using the Tractor and Company Bundle;  Colors were Daffodil Delight and Garden Green:

The fun part comes when you open it up and it "explodes"!


The "explosion" part is a 6 x 6 piece of designer series paper folded once diagonally and twice in half horizontally.  I made this card for the farm manager who has helped myself and my brothers and sisters with the family farm this year.  

The second card I made (and this is a sneak peak at my September card class), uses the Spooky Halloween bundle and the Spooky Sweet 12 x 12 DSP.  Here is that card:



I love the unexpected pop of color with the Petunia Pop Iridescent ribbon.  The Spooky Sweet makes things so easy with the cute die cuts and labels that are included in the pack of paper.   Another cute detail is the Shimmer Star Foam Stickers.  So much Halloween fun!

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you found some inspiration for your card making.  

Blessings,  Sheryl

July Stray Duckling Blog Waddle - Summer Projects and Fun!

 Hi all!  Welcome to the July Stampin'Stray Ducklings Blog Waddle for your monthly inspiration!


This month the theme is summer projects or scrapebook pages.  I don't scrapebook, so I took the summer project challenge!  Every summer in July, my husband and I and our son and his family go up to the far Northern Woods in Wisconsin and stay at a cluster of cabins called Camp Mishike.  We have been going there for well over 20 years.  Every year, I  make a batch of peanut butter cookies and a batch of Toll House cookies to take on the trip.  This was a tradition started by my grandmother and it makes the trip and staying together so special.  I made them with my kids and now I'm making cookies with my grandchildren.  

When Stampin'Up came out with a stamp set that had chocolate chip cookies and builder punch for a jar, I just had to get it.  What also makes this card extra special is the split circle embellishment.  It may look familiar - this card was the bonus card for my June class.  So here is the card using the Sweet Jar Bundle: 


and the inside....

I used Pecan Pie, Basic Black and Basic Beige for my card base.  I used the Swirly embossing folder for the front.  I stamped the jar in Early espresso, Crumb Cake, and Pecan Pie.  The hearts were stamped in real red.  I also used my Stampin'Blend, light Pool Party to outline the jar so it looked more like glass.  Then I used packing tape over the jar to make it look shiny and like a real jar.  I punched it out and the lid with the Jar Builder punch.  

To make the split circle embellishment, I punched out a 2-1/2" circle in pecan pie, 2" circle in Early Espresso, and a 1-1/2" circle in crumb cake.  I put splotches on using the dots from the Sweet Jar stamp set and also the splotches from Elements of Text.  I then cut the two smaller circles in half and repositioned them, one half to the left and one half to the right.   The birthday greeting is heat embossed with white embossing powder and cut out using one of the Stylish Shapes dies.  Whew!  I know, a lot of stuff!  But really worth it in the end.  

Thanks for stopping by..make sure you visit all the other ducklings participating in todays waddle.

June 2025 Blog Wadd;e - Masculine Cards

 Hi All!

This month we are featuring cards that you can send or give to your favorite guy - just in time for Father's Day!

Lets just get to it...Here is my card.  It's a Fathers Day card for my husband!





This is one fancy fun fold card.  I cased this idea from Susan Campfield, Stamin' Up demonstrator.  Here is the link to her video on how to make this card...https://www.youtube.com/live/HtiXkfY7Rt4?si=VyD8lvumzd-qiZBE.  I love the red, white and blue nautical colors.  I also used Trusty Tools stamp set for the sentiments.  

I love this stamp set...Sunrise Sailing Bundle.  I attracted to  the clean, graphic lines. Plus it has some nice, versatile dies AND a hybrid embossing folder for all kinds of possibilities in designing cards.  

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you enjoyed my card.

Blessings - Sheryl
