Stampin with Z-Grandma Karen

Hello stampers.  Today's card features a variation of the iris fold.  By using ribbon you can create the same effect.  It's been a while since I've done videos, but I'm really going to make an effort to do more ... New Year's Resolution sort of thing.  I would love to see what you come up with using this technique.  Email me your creations and I'd love to post them on my blog.

It feels so good to get back into the swing of things after a little vacation.  This card was done in Chocolate Chip (embossed with the vintage wallpaper embossing folder), Natural Ivory (punched using the eyelet border), and Botanical Gazette Designer Series Paper.  The hearts were stamped in Bravo Burgundy, using the Filled with Love stamp set and punched using the heart punch.  The ribbon was pleated just using Snail.  Don't forget about the Filled with Love special , and receive FREE itty bitty buttons.  To place your order click here .

This is a very simple card (from a previous layout) using the Nature Walk stamp set in the new Occasions Mini.  The birdcage is stamped in Early Espresso and the butterflies are stamped in Bashful Bride.  The In-Color designer paper is used as one of the backgrounds.  The sentiment is from the Curly Cute.
