Yesterday’s Facebook Live projects were fun and cheerful!! I loved creating them!! If you miss the live presentation, you can catch the replay on my Facebook Group Page, Stampin’ Gala Stampers Group.
Every Wednesday, at 7:00 pm eastern time, I create three projects live. It’s so fun to connect with friends all over the world who sign in to watch.
Last night, I created two greeting cards….a birthday card and a thank you card.


I always decorate the inside too!

I used Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green. I think these colors are great together. What do you think?



I always include a 3D item. Last night I designed a gift bag.

Isn’t this donkey adorable?? It is called Darling Donkeys and is a new stamp set that will be available on January 5, 2021 in Stampin’ Up’s Sale-a-Bration catalog.
I created these projects last night live on Facebook. I go live every Wednesday at 7:00 pm eastern time. If you missed it, you can watch the replay here.
I always created two cards and one 3D item for my Facebook Live presentation.

The designer series paper that I used is also a FREE item in the Sale-a-Bration catalog.

The inside is also stamped with another donkey image in the set.

The images are colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers. I used Smoky Slate and Granny Apple Green.

This style of cards is one of my favorite fun folds.

I kept the inside of this card simple.

My 3D project holds a pack of gum. I always try to coordinate the colors of the project with what is inside.

I wanted to create a card that can be used for many occasions for my newsletter this week. I am in need of a card to send out for gifts that I received during the holiday season. I think this card will work perfectly.
The image is from the Free as a Bird stamp set.

I stamped the image on Shimmery White card stock with Stazon Ink and water colored the image using a Water Painter. If you haven’t tried water coloring, it is so easy and fun with our Water Painters. Here is a closer look.
