Lisa Christensen September Shoebox Event
(If you are opening this post in a mobile device, be sure and click a second time on the header to go to the blog where the pictures are shown correctly.)
It is almost time for the November Shoebox Event so I had better get the September and October events journaled. Lisa Christensen was our hostess and we made two cards. She had numerous stamp sets from which we could choose our greetings, so I made one card a wedding card and one card a birthday card. Take a look:
.
.
Isn’t that a beautiful card?! The colors Lisa chose and the variety of dies she used to make a bouquet are just wonderful! I think it is the Big Blossoms Dies from Scrapbook.com.
. You should take a notebook to the scrapbook events so you can write down the products they use.
Should a – would a – could -a!
Lisa’s second card used Designer Series Paper to make a beautiful statement with strips on a panel to bring in the base color.
I can’t even guess the products used on this card but the idea is awesome!
Thank you for stopping by.

Joy Meadows August 2024 Shoebox Event
(If you are opening this post in a mobile device, be sure and click a second time on the header to go to the blog where the pictures are shown correctly.)
I am too excited to wait until next week for another post, so let me show you the amazing cards designed and presented by Joy Meadows for us to make at our August Shoebox Event. Her first card uses a stamp from Pink Inc Designs. It is a British company but their stamps are available on Scrapbook.com. I linked that stamp below with little Sal in the computer. I laughed out loud when she showed me her card. It is so sooo cute!
Let’s zoom in to see those glasses and long eyelashes!
For the greetings Joy used the Stampin’ Up! ‘In Your Words’ stamp set. She had Washi tape that was the perfect embellishment for the front and back and punched out stars with one of the new textured dots bling for the middles offered by Stampin’ Up!
Not to be outdone by the cute giraffe card, her second card was just as awesome! She surprised us when she held it up and said, with a twinkle in her eye, – “looks like a regular card, right”; then she opened it up to a pop up fun fold. Joy said it is a design by Susan Campfield who calls it a ‘million dollar fun fold’.
Drum roll…….. Voila! A surprise inside.
And the middle flap folds down and has the greeting on that part of the flap so you can write on the inside.
Here is a side view.
How special is that card!
And you love monochromatic cards!
Yes, I do, Sal. Let’s look at the products Joy used from Stampin’ Up!
- New In Color, Petunia Pop
- Wildly Flowering Suite Collection.
- Dies from the suite – Wild Flower Designs Dies
- Translucent Florals designer series paper
- Dashing Designs 3D embossing folder
- Happy Birthday – Translucent Florals stamp set
- Inside Greeting – Happiness Abounds stamp set
Thank you, Joy, for looking up those products for me to share on the blog and thank you for your creations! I have seen lots of layering dies but the scalloped layer (check out the first picture) is really special.
PS When you put Joy’s name, or the name of any of our Shoebox designers, in the search box on the blog, it will pull up all the lovely cards that she, or any of the others, have designed. You can also access the cards by going to the ‘Recipe Box’ tab at the top of the blog and then clicking on the card to be taken to the specific blog post for that card.
Thank you, Joy, for giving us a pinch of creativity to spice up our crafting worlds.

Christine Dillon’s July 2024 Shoebox Event
If you are opening this post in a mobile device, be sure and click a second time on the header to go to the blog where the pictures are shown correctly.
July’s Shoebox Event was hosted by Christine Dillon. She created two lovely designs and then made card kits for each of us to make the cards. We had fun crafting the cards under Christine’s guidance and then we went out to lunch to eat and visit. Such fun!
Christine used foiled DSP-designer series paper on both her cards which gave a beautiful shiny look to the cards.
Recipe- Some call this an ‘S fold’ others call it a ‘Modified Gate Card’
- Base: Blue, 8 1/2 X 5 1/2, Scored at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4
- Left Side Strip: Foiled DSP, 2 X 5 3/8 (1/16th border)
- Inside Layer: White, 4 X 5 1/4, (1/8th border)
- Base of Flap: Blue, 3 1/2 X 3 1/2
- Flap Layer: White, 3 1/4 X 3 1/4
- Medallion: Gold Foil, 3 X 3, die cut with Stampin’ Up! Eastern Medallions Die, glue directly down to flap
- Medallion Layer: Blue, 2 3/4 X 2 3/4, die cut with Stampin’ Up! Eastern Medallions Die, Pop Up
- Medallion Top Layer: White, 2 1/4 X 2 1/4, Stampin’ Up! Eastern Medallions Die, glued directly down
- Stamp with greeting from Petitie Pairs – Stampin UP
- Inside Layer: White, 4 X 5 1/4, 1/8 border
- Stamp with greeting from Colorful Seasons Stamp Set
Would you call this a masculine birthday card?
I will tag it as generic and masculine. It is so beautiful it could be used for either.
This next card is for a feminine birthday or a gardener who loves flowers. It is foiled DSP, and the foil is only on the edge of the flowers and leaves so each of us chose our favorite color and colored inside the images. The flowers were edged in gold foil and the leaves were edged in silver foil so it was a perfect guide for where to color. I wish I had taken pictures of the different colored cards. They were all beautiful.
I did say that and I have not done it yet. Sigh…… I even had to send a box card to a friend this past week and she will wonder if I sold all my stamps but…
BETTER A BOX CARD THAN NO CARD!
I say that because I have those who say they could never make a card and have quit sending me cards since they know I make cards; as if I would be disappointed to get a box card??! NOT! Receiving any card makes me smile.
I recently read someone comparing making a card to decorating a cake – you make the cake beautiful and it is admired for a short time, but then consumed and just a memory. Hopefully our cards stay on a mantel or refrigerator for longer, but the joy is in the creating and hopefully the recipient is blessed.
Are you going to take up cake decorating?
No way, Sal, but I admire those who do.

Riddle of the day:
Question: Four cars come to a four-way stop, each coming from a different direction. They can’t decide who got there first, so they all go forward at the same time. All four cars go, but none crash into each other. How is this possible?
Answer: They all made right-hand turns.
‘Twas My Birthday
Check out these beautiful handmade birthday cards from my dear friends.
Lucille’s was the first one I received in advance of my birthday.
Jo had a very clever little purse which opened and then the inside had a pull tab with an additional wish:
. 
Joy’s card was a unique circle shape with lots of texture and layers:
Christine used a fun die and paper piecing to create this card:
Lisa’s card was a beautiful teacup filled with flowers and lots of layers on a fun fold. Lisa joined with Sharon to celebrate my birthday with a real tea party! I felt like a queen.
At the tea, Sharon gave me this card and many goodies:
Lucille made me a second card:
Thank you, dear friends, for those beautiful creations!
The family is not into card making, but Amber is a wonderful cook and she, Tyler and Stacia put on a great birthday celebration up at the lake. Amber made brownies and her awesome potato salad and Tyler grilled steaks and grilled corn on the cob with fresh corn Stacia had brought. We were able to get two campsites close together at Willow Creek Reservoir, just minutes from Grandby Lake and Shadow Lake.
Paul, not to be outdone for my birthday, booked us on a hot air balloon ride in Steamboat Springs a couple weeks later. It is quite awesome to have a daughter, Stacia, and son in law, Jonathan, who own a hot air balloon business.
https://wildwestballooning.com/
It was a month of birthday celebrations.
Back to the July 4th week — Jaxson and Emmitt, our two grandsons, were camping with us for the week and we drove from the lake to Steamboat Springs for the 4th of July parade. Jonathan asked Paul to drive the jeep with the float they had made. It looked like a hot air balloon basket with lots of red, white and blue balloons attached above. Stacia and the girls were on this float blowing bubbles at the crowds.
The royal wave!
The boys got to ride with Uncle Jonathan in the ‘real’ hot air balloon basket! You can see the burners on the silver truck behind this picture. Jonathan would do a quick touch of the burners to create the sound you hear as they fly the balloon. They won first prize in the commercial float category. I wonder what they will come up with next year!
Then it was back to the lake!
It was Jaxson’s and Emmitt’s first long camping trip with us. Mom and Dad came up on the 4th and Stacia and the granddaughters came up on the 5th. Emmitt had me pull his first loose tooth. In this picture he is trying to show you the gap in his mouth. Grandma is a doctor who can pull splinters out and now a dentist who can pull a loose tooth, but my favorite role is just being grandma and cuddling these grandchildren before they are grown and gone.
Here’s a picture of Emmitt after he caught his first fish. Jaxson had three fish on his hook that were ‘almost’ a catch.
After the Buchholtz family headed home, we took Stacia and the girls and anchored beside a little island on Shadow Lake for a picnic on the boat.
And Ruger was always with us, of course!
When the Whiteheads went back home, it was time for a little R&R with my beloved:
Thank you everyone for a memorable birthday month!
SAL, Shown A Lot of love for my birthday
Karen
I cannot pick a ‘best’ birthday card so I will show the hot air balloon and link Sal in the computer to their site. The videos are awesome to watch even if you have no desire to fly!
From Jonathan:
Question: What do you call it when the hot air balloon shadow passes over you on the ground?
Answer: A balloonereclipse!
Joy Meadows March 2024 Shoebox Event
“Stack, Slice & Shuffle” is a fun technique that Joy taught us at our last shoebox event. It is like a quilt card, and with a stack of three designer series papers you can have three different looking cards in no time at all.
Joy used the Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper (DSP) on a black layer with a white base.
Recipe
- Base: White, 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4
- Border: Black, 5 3/8 X 4 1/8 for a 1/16 reveal
- Stack of 3 different DSPs: 5 1/4 X 4
- Slice: Cut through all 3 at the same time at a diagonal about 1/2″ over on bottom and about 1″ down on right; set aside the smaller pile of 3
- Slice again: Cut through the other pile of 3 at a diagonal about 1/2″ over and to about the middle
- Note: The 1/2″ over and 1″ down are not necessarily perfect measurements, diagonals can be random
- Shuffle: You should now have three separate piles.
- Leave one pile as is
- Remove the top piece of the second pile and put it on the bottom
- Remove two pieces of the third pile and put them on the bottom
- Base of your shuffled cards (X3): white, 5 1/4 X 4
- Adhere your three separate patterns to the bases
- Embellish with a die cut mounted to cover where all three DSPs meet; Joy used Stampin’ Up! Deckled Circles with the largest being 1 3/4 and the smaller is 1 3/8 popped up on the larger
- Stamp ‘Hello’ in Memento Black; Hello is from SU Irresistable Blooms
- Inside Strip: DSP, 3/4 X 4
- Butterflies: Black to match the border; SU Butterfly Gala Punch for one large and one small for inside; use a black marker to make antennae
- Brass Butterflies around the greeting and a sparkly gem on butterfly complete the embellishments
Time to make a stack of Christmas cards to get ahead of the December push
That would be good, Sal! If I did two sets each month I would be ahead of the game.
Thank you, Joy, for a fun new technique!
Joy had an additional card for us to make at the event!
The picture doesn’t do it justice. The base is soft succulent with a very vanilla layer embossed with a cobblestone looking embossing folder. The dies for the circles and the greeting are the Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details Dies. The large circle is 3 1/4 and the top circle is 2 1/2. The bird is from the Flight & Airy DSP from Stampin’ Up. The glittery gem exactly matches the soft succulent. The happy birthday greeting is Stampin’ Up!’s Birthday Blossoms stamp set on a 2 3/4 X 1 3/8 rectangle in the Everyday Details Dies.
Another beautiful design by Joy Meadows!
Thank you for stopping by today!

Paul’s Birthday Celebration
Time for birthday cards! I really can make simple cards! This one wasn’t a fun fold just a simple one, but I think the monochromatic look gives it a wow factor.
For our friend Dan!
.
For Paul!
.
Recipe
- Base: Starry Sky, 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, Scored at 4 1/4
- Strips on Front (3): DSP, 1/2″ each, mount with 1/8″ borders between
- White Layer on Front: Basic White, 2 1/8 X 5 1/4
- White Layer Inside: Basic White, 4 X 5 1/4
- Side Strip on Inside: DSP, 1 X 5 1/4
- Stamp Sets:
- Just Believe Stampin’ Up! for greenery stamped in Blueberry Bushel
- Outside ‘Happy Birthday’ is from Go To Greetings Stampin’ Up!
- Inside ‘May Good Things Grow’ – Dragonfly Garden
- Inside ‘No One Deserves…’, ‘Love you so much’, – Flowering Tulips
- Embellishments
- 3 Brass Butterflies
- 3 Buttons with 3 navy blue gems for centers (attach with glue dots- the little glue dots on the gems won’t hold)
Christine’s valentine card for the shoebox event must have given you a bug for buttons!
Yes, Sal! Before her card – see it here – I hadn’t used a button for years but I have a huge stash of them so I experimented and really liked the result.
Paul received a card from Jo and Dan and it was so fun! He is looking forward to fishing trips this summer and Jo capitalized on his love of fishing. The pole has a layer of gold foil and the hooks on the outside and inside are silver foil but the camera didn’t ‘catch’ those details.
For Paul’s birthday we spent the weekend in Breckenridge, CO. It was spring break for many so the town was crowded but still fun to ride a gondola from where we were staying up on the mountain to the downtown restaurant. Stacia, Jonathan, Emma and Joey met us for supper Friday night. They live in Steamboat so they could have supper and then drive home. We had an evening meal here before we left with Amber, Tyler, Jaxson & Emmitt since it was too far for them to drive.
Swiss Haven fondue supper!
Dessert time!
Paul’s birthday was well celebrated and I know he felt loved!
Thanks for stopping by!

Q= What goes up but never comes down?
A= Your Age
Perpetual Birthday Calendar
Years ago I purchased a kit from Stampin’ Up! that is a perpetual birthday calendar. Without years shown and without days of the week and with only the days of the month listed, I can pencil in birthdays and have a nice stamped wall hanging for the office. I held a class when the kit came out; you can see that post HERE.
The kits were unavailable by the time I advertised and collected the fee so I made my own calendar kit as close to the original as possible.
Such a fun memory, however I never completed my calendar. It is hard being a hostess and attempting to stamp a project at the same time, so my kit was put away to prepare for the next event. It is time to work on my PHD (projects half done) so, out came the kit, and I finished it.
The sheets are 4 1/4 X 10 3/4, two could be printed on a sheet of white cardstock – just remember to watch for the number of days in the month.
“Thirty days hath September, April, June and November, all the rest have 31 except February.”
Thanks, Sal, and February this year has 29 and my printout only has 28. The pdf file does have 29.
. The stamp set that went with the kit is The Perpeteual Birthday Calendar. It has fantastic background stamps you will see me use. However, through the years I have purchased so many additional stamps and dies that I had a plethora of things to choose from.

October uses left over pieces from a Paper Pumpkin. November uses a tiny ‘thanks’ from Waterfront, an acorn from ‘Time of Year’, another paper pumpkin piece and Itty Bitty Banners. December used ‘Holiday Invitation’ for the holly leaves.
They are Sal, because I didn’t take time to straighten and size and brighten the color on each one. I just needed to journal them for future reference. I think the calendar would make a nice craft booth product. It is an office decoration more than a necessary birthday reminder since our smart phones do that, but it sure is a quick look vs several clicks on the phone.
And now you can pencil in names!
Yes, and I do use a pencil since we have had so many folks come and go in our lives.
March 7 we will be celebrating 17 years of being in this house! That is a record for us! All but two of the neighbors on either side of us, across from us and behind us are new from when we moved in.
. Ummmm…. and Paul’s birthday?
Yes, we closed on the house on his birthday so that will be a fun celebration as well.

I am an odd number. Take away one letter and I become even. What number am I?
Seven.
Piano Birthday Card
Today I have a card for you that combines digital files, quilled roses and leaves, stamping and punches! With a plethora of tools why not?
Had you ever done quilled roses and leaves?
Well, no, but I decided to learn.
You could change out the music sheet to a Christmas song, use poinsettia flowers and a Christmas greeting for a unique Christmas card!
Or put the recipient’s age on the front to be very thoughtful.
.
I started by downloading a digital file with the Happy Birthday song. I purchased it on Etsy from Karol the owner of Noteselection. I could size the file to what I needed by just shrinking 50%. It is a hair shorter on each side of 4 X 3 3/4. So 4″ minus 1/16 and 3 3/4 minus 1/16.
I saw the piano example at cat’sinkcorporated.blogspot.com which got my creative juices flowing!
Recipe
- Base: Black, 4 1/4 X 11, scored at 5 1/2
- Inside: Basic White, 4 X 5 1/4, stamped with the birthday greeting in the ‘Quite Curvy’ Stampin’ Up! set and the notes in ‘Music From The Heart’ Stampin’ Up! stamp set
- Birthday Song: 4 (minus 1/16) X 3 3/4 (minus 1/16); Etsy download at 50%
- Piano Top: Glossy Black Cardstock, 4 X 3 3/4; hand cut a curve starting at 1″ up from the bottom right side
- Piano Keys:
- Glossy White, 10 keys punched with the word window punch, cut little bit off side for square key
- Black Glossy, 7 keys
- Use a tiny bit of glue on back of each white key. Start at 1/8″ over on white keys placing one key on the right side and one on the left and then fill in the remaining 8 keys.
- Layer the black keys on top of the white keys appropriately for a piano. Note: this is glossy paper and don’t try using a black marker on the edges of the black keys because it will smudge and get all over you and the white keys.
I suppose you have white keys with black smudges in your trash.
Yes, Sal, so the edges didn’t get colored on the next try. With the black on top of the white you can’t even tell. I should have thought of that to save some frustration.
Let’s look at how to make a quilled rose. I enjoy quilling videos by Meredith at ThePaperCraftery:
Meredith folds her roses forwards, Anu of ‘Crafts with Anu’ uses a 10 mm strip and folds backwards so the direction doesn’t really matter. I found folding backwards worked easier for me.
For the leaves I wanted to learn how to use a quilling husking (knitting) board.
These are the patterns I used for the small and large leaves:
. 
Did you have to order a husking board?
No, Sal, I did my usual of getting every quilling tool I could find on Amazon when I decided to learn to quill. I still have a few tools I haven’t used but overall I had what I needed when I decided to make this card. It did take a bit of practice but I guess that is why we have a trash can on the table!
SAL, Such A Lifetime of Learning

Colorful Colorado Birthday Cards
We were at Steamboat Lake for a week and watched as the colors were changing! It was glorious! The first picture is Pearl lake, another beautiful lake north of Steamboat Springs. The picture captured the various colors and the reflection in the lake.
You must have had your daughter’s fancy camera!
No, Sal, just an iphone on a beautiful day!
Right before we left for camping I purchased a Colorado Stamp and die set ‘Colorful Colorado’ made by Memory Box and another Colorado stamp set, ‘Greetings from Colorado’ at Simple Pleasures in Colorado Springs. It is a design by Ann Corbiere-Scott. The store is a stamp and scrapbook store with an entire section of the store dedicated to products for each state. They market many of the major stamp and die companies’ products and have an amazing stock of scrapbook and card making paper.
ooohhhh, time for a field trip. Let’s see the card you made with what you bought!
Give yourself lots of time when you go to this store!
For the card, I had fun doing sunsets using sponging in different colors. Paul liked this sunset best which used Orchid Oasis for the blue.
. My favorite was this sunset with the darker Pacific Point ink for the blue. I tried Marina Mist for ink sponging as well but it wasn’t much different than Pacific Point. Let’s take a vote…… which do you like best?
This is a picture of a Colorado sunset taken at Ridgway State Park in June. I talked Paul into taking us out on the boat to sit in the middle of the lake and watch the sunset.
The following picture is of columbines at Yankee Boy Basin outside of Ouray, Colorado.
I think you got the color of the columbine perfect. What did you use?
I used Copic marker BV00 which is close to Orchid Oasis.
Can you see the Kissing Camels (Garden of the Gods) in this stamp collage of Colorado?
The stamp set came with the die to cut out the the aspen frame, the mountain and the pinecones. The columbine was in the other set and was fussy cut. The pine bough came from the Poinsetta Petals Stampin’ Up! set with Poinsettia dies.
The hug greeting is the Limited Edition Stampin’ Up! stamp set and the Designer Series Paper (DSP) is birch paper from years ago in Stampin’ Up!
The die does not need to be cut apart. If the die is left intact, all the leaf and pinecone shapes will be cut out when you die cut the frame but you can easily stamp them afterwards. I stamped the leaves in Memento Black and the pinecones in Chocolate Chip.
One pointer for anyone who has this set – the set is photopolymer and the large aspen frame can stretch and not be perfect for the die which cuts it out.
I can guess how you found that out!
True, Sal, and to remedy this situation I used my Stamparatus and mounted the aspen stamp on the plate and then placed the die on the stamp to check that nothing was stretched out of the shape of the die, adjusting the stamp where necessary. This could work with any dies you have that have thin images to cut that might not stamp correctly if the stamp is stretched.
The other cool thing I found with the aspen frame is by stamping the frame on the piece of basic white that I was going to sponge and then popping up the die cut frame on top of the stamped image with white foam adhesive strips (don’t use dimensionals), I achieved a 3D effect for the tree.
I can see that in the right side on the first picture.
Recipe
- Base: Very Vanilla, 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
- Layer: Birch Bark DSP, 5 1/4 X 4
- Inside Bottom Strip: Birch Bark DSP, 1 X 4
- Background Layer: Basic White, 5 X 3 3/4; stamp the frame in Chocolate Chip, then fussy cut around the outer edges of frame.
- Sponge the sunset in Pacific Point, then Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, and ending with Calypso Coral.
- The mountain will be die cut when you cut the aspen frame, then ink the mountain stamp with Memento Black, wipe off the black ring around the sun with a wet wipe (or finger), or mask the black ring before you stamp. Fussy cut the tiny white around the mountains that the die will leave, then color the mountains with Copics B24, or BV00, and the sun in Y06 or Daffodil Delight. Mount directly to your background.
- Stamp the ‘Hugs from’ and ‘Colorful Colorado’ in Versa Mark, then heat emboss with white embossing powder – note – be sure the blue of your sunset comes down far enough to give a good background for Colorful Colorado or it will get lost in the yellows.
- Aspen Frame: Basic White, 5 X 3 3/4, Stamp in Chocolate Chip, die cut and then use a marker to color any white on the edges so you can achieve a 3D look with the background layer.
- Leaves: Stamp your cut out images in Memento Black and color with YG17 for green and Y13 for the tips. Note the placement on the pictures.
- Pine Bough: Stamp in Garden Green using the Poinsetta Petals stamp set and die cut with the Poinsettia Die. Cut the image apart to layer the small bough under the large bough. Top with a little pine cone stamped in Chocolate Chip.
- Columbine: Stamp image in Memento Black and color outside with BV00, or Orchid Oasis, and heat emboss the middle with Crushed Curry embossing powder. Pop up with a dimensional over the largest part of the mountain.
The ‘Greetings from Colorado’ set has a fun stamp for the back of your card that says ‘handmade in Colorado’.
May we see a picture of these stamp sets since they are so unique?
Of course, Sal!

Christine Dillon July 2023 Shoebox Event
Christine Dillon was our designer/presenter for the July Shoebox swap. There are six of us who take turns designing two projects and make kits for the group which meets monthly.
Ummm….it is September 1st you know.
Yes, I am behind on posting, but I had some wonderful camping trips! Would you like to see my pictures?
Probably be best to help your crafting friends with inspiration instead!
You bet!
Christine designed a 3D watering can for us to make. Note, this is my construction of her kit so not quite as perfect as her original design.
. 
. Watering Can Template printable pdf
. Click on the blue to get the printable version. The above is just a screen print to show you the pattern.
Christine’s second project was a beautiful birthday card:
.
.
She used the Flourish Thinlits Dies from Stampin’ Up!
Surely you erased all the excess glue before sending it.
Of course I did! I am ‘adhesive challenged’ and I need to use one of the fine tip glue bottles instead of the Tombow glue tip. I stocked up on Tombow so I want to use it up.
So put the Tombow glue in the fine tip glue bottle.
Good idea!
This set is on EBAY and it is a beautiful set to add to your stamping collection with a variety of greetings. I am not ready to sell mine -yet! Keep an eye on the Bake Sale page and it might be available someday.
How about just one picture?
Paul and I are in front of the Twin Falls in Yankee Boy Basin driving from Ouray, Colorado.
Hopefully we will have a wonderful fall. We have one more camping trip planned for Steamboat Springs, Colorado!
My daughter and Son In Law own the Wild West Balloon Adventures in Steamboat. A hot air balloon ride should be on everyone’s bucket list:
You can follow “Wild West Balloon Adventures” on Instagram for some amazing videos!
Have a wonderful day and I will be back soon with the cards from the August shoebox event.
Bringing a pinch of creativity to spice up your crafting world!
