Flowering Rain Boots Bridge Card 


This is such a happy card and I'm sure the recipient will love getting it, especially if they are living somewhere that it is snowing or raining or gloomy. This will brighten their day, whether used as a note to check in and say hi, or used as a birthday card. And did you notice the layout of the card? This is called a bridge card and it's actually really easy to make. Please watch my Facebook Live below to best see how to make this card. 

Gather your supplies to make this card. 
1. Pool Party cardstock 4 1/4 by 8" scored on the long side at 1 1/4 and 2 1/2" from each end (or 1 1/4, 2 1/2, 5 1/2 and 6 3/4") and another piece 1 1/4 by 5 1/2"
2. Basic White cardstock 2 3/4 by 4" for the back, more for stamping and cutting out the boots, flowers and clouds
3. Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (#155426) 3 different  patterns. For 2 patterns cut 2 pieces of each 1 by 4". 3rd pattern 2 3/4 by 4"
4. Stamp Set--Flowering Rainboots (#157689 stamp set or #157691 bundle)
5. Dies--Rain Boots (#157690 or or #157691 bundle)
6. Ink-- Flirty Flamingo, Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party
7. Cloud Punch (#157749)
9. Basic supplies--bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (Multipurpose Glue), Regular Dimensionals, Die Cutting and Embossing Machine, Blending Brushes

Start by folding the larger Pool Party piece along the score lines--the inner 2 fold inward and the outer 2 fold outward. Attach the larger piece (dots) of DSP to the central part of the card and the 2 smaller pieces to match on the smaller side panels. 

Now to stamp--all on Basic White cardstock. Stamp the tulip tops in Poppy Parade and Flirty Flamingo. Stamp the stems in Granny Apple Green and the boots in Bermuda Bay. Cut them all out with the dies. Attach them together with glue--start with gluing the tulips together then attach them to the stems, then to the boots as below. Stamp some stems and tulips on the envelope too.


Stamp a sentiment on the right side of the 1 1/4" strip in Poppy Parade then attach the strip to only the outside strips of the card. This should allow the card to slide back and forth like below to fit in the envelope. Attach the tulips and boots using Dimensionals (be careful to only put them on the left most strip). Punch 2 clouds and using your Pool Party ink and Blender Brushes (or Sponge Daubers) put a little shading on the edges of the clouds. Overlap them and glue to the center (dotty) part of the card.


Stamp a few tulips on the 2 3/4 by 4" piece of Basic White and attach to the back of card for somewhere to write your greeting.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

  Pick of the Patch Joy Fold Card This fun joy fold card just makes me smile. I'm loving the Pick of the Patch bundle lately for its versatility--it can make beautiful fall cards, great Thanksgiving cards, and today a Halloween card. And all from a relatively inexpensive punch bundle. Now are you wondering where the Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper in the background is from? It's not DSP--I made it with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. Another versatile stamp set that I'm sure will be making an appearance on some holiday cards later this year. For some hints and tips on using this large sized stamp, and making this card, please watch my Facebook Live down below. Better yet, join me every Monday at 1 pm PST on my Stamp with Dr Robin Facebook group to make another fun card.  Time to make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 8 1/2"" scored on the long side at  3" and folded along the score line. Second piece 3...

Playing with Thoughtful Journey DSP Hopefully you have received your new 2024-25 Annual Catalog by now--if not please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com and let me send you one if you don't have a demonstrator. I am making a card today using the gorgeous 6" by 6" Thoughtful Journey DSP as each page is more beautiful than the last. These pages are stand alone amazing--all they really need is a sentiment added to make a card, but I thought I'd fancy them up today with some other new products. I am loving the In Color Glimmer Paper as well as the Unbounded Love bundle that I used for the sentiment. If you have trouble following along with these directions, please watch my Facebook live below.   Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:  1. Mossy Meadow cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. A second piece 3 3/4" by 2 3/8" 2. Basic White cardstock-- 3 3/4" by 5...
