Hi Friends and cardmakers! I made this card and even had the pictures taken before we had a family emergency and had to hurry out the door.
The sentiment on this card says it all though! So thankful for all who prayed for our daughter, for us and even gave to support her! It’s a miracle she is alive. She had 6 hours of chemo on Friday and by Sunday they said she only had 2 hrs to 2 days to live. I just couldn’t let her go. I started telling her to breathe and live, her sisters got her bone broth and we started in on her. By Wednesday she was back on living protocol and we were kicked out of the hospital much to my dismay!!! Our hearts are with her and we chat with her on and off all day.
Now about this card…I’d been wanting to use the new Memory Box Diagonal Stripe Collage die. I love it! I have another idea brewing in my head but not sure it will work. lol
Then I saw this new stamp set, Celebrate Us, awhile back that was a collaboration between Altenew and Pinkfresh Studio and I wanted it for fast colored flowers! I’m really happy with how they stamped up and how well two of them fit together to make a bouquet.
I used Altenew mini ink cubes to ink up the flower stamps. I’m gonna call this a CAS card because it wasn’t hard and I think you could make several of them fast and the white background just sets them off!
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Once again…we covet your prayers and thoughts for our family right now…not sure what the journey will look like but the miracle has begun and we’re not giving up! Nourish and Hope!

Welcome to my paper house home today! See all the sparkly Christmas trees on display!
I had so much fun creating this home with this new poppy die set, Winter Porch Pop Up Easel Set!
Just die cut all the pieces in the colors you want and layer them up. I used mounting tape for the top layer because I wanted the trees behind the windows. The trees are the new poppy Evergreen Trio die cut in glitter cardstock.
I used the new poppy Snowy Merry Christmas cut in Green cardstock and embossed the snow with white powder. I used a Versamark pen to get the powder to stick to the snow. The door knob is a tiny brad but it could be a small enamel dot, gem or make your own with black Nuvo drops.
This is one time I liked the embossing powder static! lol I melted the first time, then while it was hot, stuck it back in the powder for a second and third time to get a deeper snow pile.
The card folds down to fit in an envelope. It is A2 size but I will use a larger size envelope to mail and have it hand cancelled.
The card folded up but standing for the photo.
Did you notice the new Memory Box Vintage Sled die? Pretty cool… separate die to cut the slats and steering wood!
For the porch and sled holly and berries, I used the clipped ends of die cuts from the Memory Box Holly Double Arch die set. Fairy Sugar on the roof snow.
Here it is flat, ready to go in the envelope. Oh, the snow on the bottom of the siding is from the snow die in the Winter House Pop Up Easel Set. I used the roof line and trimmed it down.
I wish I could run across the street and show you this card in real life! Something the receiver will treasure I’m sure. I know I would if someone sent it to me! So have fun making these and sharing your love of papercrafting!
Thank you so much for stopping by! Holler if you have any questions and share your cards with me too!
Here’s what I used to make this Easel card…

Hi everyone! Yesterday while two of our granddaughters were here making cards, I started this NEW Bird House Pop Up Easel card. After supper and this morning I had to finish it and take pictures.
In my excitement to share it, I forgot the plan! I meant to put the new Memory Box Fairy Sugar Dewdrop on the snow! lol I will add it to the snow and berries on my card before I send it.
I have a lot of pictures to throw in this post. This is a super well thought out die set and goes together easily!
The only other die I used is the poppy Garden Leaves and Berries die. I die cut them in white cardstock and colored them with Copics to embellish the base sentiment.
I die cut the birdhouse piece in white cardstock and inked it with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink to give it an old birdhouse feel. I edged all the pieces with the same ink. Next time I will use Gathered Twigs though, that’s what I usually use with kraft. Vintage Photo was already out. lol
The cardinal die has embossed markings where the black piece and beak are. I just die cut it in red, a scrap of black and a scrap of gold, then trimmed out the black and gold and glued them on.
Here it is from the front again…
Here it is from the side…
Here it is flat, ready to go in the envelope…
Here I’m showing how easily it will fit into an A2 size envelope.
A perfect gift that can be mailed with one forever stamp but treasured for years because of this easel fun fold!
I want to play with it and jazz it up some more! lol This was going to just be my prototype but I ended up carrying on and finishing it, well, except for the Fairy Sugar! ugh. lol
I’m also thinking it will make super cute ornaments! I’m all about Christmas tree ornaments. lol
Thanks for clicking over and holler if you have any questions!
Here’s shopping links for the dies and stamps I used…
