Canada Day Card Duo

 

Every year I send out Canada Day cards to family & a few friends, but this year these are the only two cards I managed to make! 😩  I may have to make a couple in the coming weeks to have on hand for next year. Sheesh.  

At any rate, I was flipping through the Moose Crossing patterned paper pad by Catherine Pooler and saw the buffalo plaid maple leaf print. Bingo! I grabbed the coordinating stamp set and decided to use the August 2023 Sheetload sketch for these cards.

After punched out the stamped beaver with a label punch, I aded some dots with a marker to 'ground' him and lightly inked the edges. Inside, I added a few more stamps from the set and a Celebrate stamp. 

Now to decide which family members will get a card, ha ha. I'm thinking that we will be getting together with my brother and our eldest daughter & family, so the ones that won't be joining us will get Happy Mail to celebrate Canada's 157th Birthday!

Supplies used:

Patterned paper - Moose Crossing, Catherine Pooler (6x6")

                                            August 2023 Sheetload of Cards

Catherine Pooler coloured inks

Oh Canada stamp set - Catherine Pooler

Blending Sponges

Happy Canada Day - Happy Celebrations, Studio Katia

Celebrate - Birthday Cheer, Papertrey Ink

5 x 7" Canada Flag Card

This card was quick and easy to make, using cut-aparts from a paper pad. I didn't add a sentiment to the front as I will write 'Happy Canada Day' inside and I liked the clean look of the flag matted with the bright red plaid.

Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally. 

Card Tally for 2023
January - 53 cards
February - 56 cards

Canada Day Magic Iris Card

Today I'm sharing the 6th edition to my monthly series "Magic Iris Cards". For this one, I created a card to celebrate Canada Day (July 1st). The patterned paper is from Catherine Pooler and it was perfect for this card! When you slide down the lever, the shutters open up to reveal a stamped sentiment.

Inside, I added a stitched red panel and the Slimline Celebrate die. I added a tiny stamped red maple leaf on the die cut, which makes me happy.

Plaid Canada Day Duo

These cards started with the patterned paper, which is called Moose Crossing by Catherine Pooler. I pulled out the O Canada paper packages by Photo Play and chose some stickers and cut aparts then used the May 2023 Sheetload of Cards for the sketch.

There are a few people I send Canada Day cards to, but June has been extremely busy so needed to keep them simple this year. A sketch, stickers on the front, cutaparts on the inside and cute patterned paper. Easy Peasy!

Canada Day Mini Slimline

Hello my crafty friends.  Today I'm sharing a Mini Slimline card for Canada Day, which is July 1st. Last week I shared a tutorial on adapting Karen Burniston's Triple Flip and I used two of the Photo Play Cut Aparts/Journal Cards for that one. They were cut from a 12 x 12" sheet, and this 4 x 6" one was left from that row so I decided to go ahead and get it on a card. I trimmed it down to 3.5" x 6" and it fills the entire front of my Mini Slimline card.

I added black glaze pen to the critters eyes & noses, some white enamel dots and then popped up the sentiment with foam tape. That was a sticker from the same package.

Inside I used Karen Burniston's new Short Crosshatch Rectangles and more of the Photo Play patterned paper & stickers. I penned the sentiment on another one of the crosshatch rectangles.

Canada Day Triple Flip Card Adaptation

Hello my crafty friends.  One of my followers saw a post from 2019 where I created a single panel flip using Karen Burniston's Triple Flip die set and asked if I had a tutorial. At that point I did not, but today I'm sharing a tutorial on how to adapt the Triple Flip on YouTube:   

If you would like to see the snowflake panel card that inspired the tutorial, click HERE.

When you pull the arm to the right, the CANADA panel flips over to reveal a buffalo plaid moose and the rest of the sentiment "Our Home And Native Land".

Below is a peek at the inside, which I decorated with stickers. While the paper package is fairly new, I still added glue to the backs of the stickers to make sure they stayed down.

Pop Up Card for Canada Day

Hello my crafty friends and welcome to Fun Fold Friday here on my blog. I'm sharing another card for Canada Day, this time it's a Pop Up using Karen Burniston's Little Labels Pop Up. I pulled out some stamps from Wild Whisper (a Canadian company) but it appears these ones are no longer available on their website. I didn't do YouTube video, but here is a quick clip to show the card opening and closing:   

I added the moose calf die cut to the left side and since I wanted a second one facing the other direction I cut it a second time then used my fingernail to sort of buff the rough edge of the underside so I could use the reverse side..  .

I really like the Little Labels Pop Up die set - and that it comes with so many different layering dies to decorate the Pop Up. The box platform across the bottom can be decorated any number of ways and here I used Karen Burniston's new Mini Alpha to spell out Canada Day. The included shadow dies are great for this alpha!

The scalloped border die that I used is many years old, but lots of companies have scalloped border dies so I will see if I can link a different one for you. They can easily be trimmed to the size you need. This card is a 6.5 x 5" card & envelope set that I got at Michaels.  I'll have to find a moose die to link as well!

Mini Tri Shutter Card Duo for Canada Day

Hello my crafty friends. Today I'm sharing two more cards for Canada Day, using an OLD die from my stash. I have a walkthrough of my cards on YouTube:   

The first card was created with patterned paper from Oh Canada 2 (Photo Play) and decorated with both stickers and ephemera from the same line. The maple leaves were punched from a scrap of red sparkle card stock.

The Happy Canada Day in the centre was done with a label maker, and the white stitched rectangle is where I can write a personal message.

The second card was die cut from red card stock and decorated with mostly stickers & ephemera from the line.

Here is a peek of the inside, with more stickers and ephemera.

Canada Day Flip-Its Card with Additional Pop Up

Hello my crafty friends and welcome to Fun Fold Friday here on my blog. Today I'm sharing a Flip-Its card for Canada Day and I have all the details in my YouTube video:  

It was fun creating with the papers, stickers and ephemera from Photo Play. They had been on my Wish List since they first came out and I'm slowly adding them to my collection. 

Not only does this Flip-Its have the additional flap to open, I added a Pop Up inside using one of the journal cards/cut aparts from the package.

As I said in the video, I will do this again and have a tutorial for you but basically I folded the cut apart in half then added 1/4" score lines down each side. I am liking the added dimension you get - and the little surprise - when you open the right flap!

Canada Day Mini Slimline Card

Hello!  This Mini Slimline card is one I sent to a friend for Canada Day. I couldn't share it before July 1st as I wanted to be sure it was received and - then I just had other cards to share. 😊

The triple window (everything that is available is linked below) was embossed with a lovely woodgrain plank embossing folder and popped up with foam tape. I used the Maple Leaf from Karen Burniston's Autumn Elements and went over the veining with a Wink of Stella pen.

The Happy Canada Day was created with a label maker and I added some red gems from my stash,

Inside, I just had to add this pair of moose along with the stamped Celebrate.

Canada Day Slimline Card Duo

Hello!  I know Canada Day is over, but I still have some cards to share. These two are Slimline cards and I used the Quilted Leaf die by Divinity Designs. This is exactly what I had in mind when I bought the die but of course if I chose different colours it would work beautifully for a fall card as well. 

I added it over the Slimline Clouds die from Whimsy Stamps, which I think is going to get lots of use.

I sprayed my paper pieced Maple Leaf with shimmer spray 😊.

Inside I used words from the Celebrate Slim tag by Crafty Meraki!

My second card started off with another die by Crafty Meraki ... the 3 Room Studio die. I disguised the off centre opening with one of Karen Burniston's Crosshatch Squares then added another paper pieced Maple Leaf.

Yes, even more shimmer spray - I do love shimmer & shine!

Inside I cut the large Celebrate from the white panel making sure to save the fallaway pieces from the letters "e, b and a".  Then I added them back in when I adhered the white stitched panel to my card. I saved the actual die cut Celebrate for another card another day.

Canada Day Treat Holders

These Treat Holders were made using the Your Next Stamp Treat Topper die, a digital stamp from Angie Blom Digital Designs and some clear 'drops' from Studio Katia. They are for our Grandkids and have Maple Cookies inside the cello bags.

For the backing piece, I cut white card stock to 3.5 x 6", wrapped the cello bag around the top and stapled it, Then the Treat Topper wad attached with double sided tape.

Crafty Wishes Treat Holder

This second Treat Topper is decorated with the FUN Craftastic set from Studio Katia. I also added some of their pearls and crystals for a little somethin' somethin'.

Canada Day Explosion Card

I had fun making this Explosion Card using digital images from Angie Blom Digital Designs, and the greeting is from the Happy Celebrations stamp set from Studio Katia.

Note, I cut down my text weight paper to 8 x 8" after it had been printed.

If you follow my blog you know I love Z-fold cards! This one uses this lovely heart filled Maple Leaf digital image from Angie Blom Digital Designs. I also added some confetti, the patterned paper and a stamped greeting using goodies from Studio Katia.

I also LOVE making Slimline cards, so really enjoyed combining the new Dotted Slimline Die Set One from Studio Katia with the Beautiful Butterflies stamps & dies from Your Next Stamp. The pretty confetti and bling is also from Studio Katia.

Here is a peek at the inside, where I used an additional stamp set from Your Next Stamp and a little more Studio Katia bling.
