Inside Fun Fold Card

Hooray for Surprises

2024-02-06T20:48:00.000-05:00

I lost a week in my posting. Time can sure get away from me. That's my main concern with my blogging. Please bear with me.

I am posting a couple cards I made with the Hooray for Surprises Bundle from Stampin' Up! It is such a fun set. I actually saw some ideas on Pinterest. Don't you just love to go and look at all the creative cards there? It usually gets me in trouble.

I saw a card like this on Pinterest of course and had to make one. It's the little cakes that did it for me.

You can pick up the pdf by clicking this link: Hooray for Surprises PDF

Here is another card I did. I'm sorry I don't have a pdf written for it but I'm sure you can follow the image and figure it out.

The dynamics of the card is the same as far as putting in the circle element to add the surprise sentiment under.

Below is video I did this morning. I stream on StreamYard to three different platforms, YouTube, Stamp Crazy VIP FB Group and Stamp Crazy by Rita Holmes FB Page. You are welcome to join me at 10:00 am EST on Tuesday Mornings.
