Floral Romance

Hi! Today I have a card I shared this past week on my Tuesday with Teresa Facebook Live!  I had seen this fold on a card by Rose Maroney Ward and absolutely LOVED it!

Birthday, Floral Romance, 2019Occasions, Stampin' Up!, SU!

So pretty! The Designer Series Paper is from the Floral Romance pack in the Occasions Catalog.  The die cuts and sentiment are from the Well Said Bundle also found in the Occasions Catalog.  The purchase of this bundle automatically qualifies you for a FREE Sale-A-Bration product through March 31, 2019.

I used the awesome Adhesive Sheets – why did I not discover these sooner? – on the back of the die cuts to make it easy to attach to my card.

Here is a PDF with the measurements:  Floral Romance Flap Card

Here is the video for the card:

I have a few more versions of this flap fold which I’ll share soon.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happiness Blooms

Hi! Today I am sharing a card made using the Happiness Blooms suite from the Occasions Catalog.  Love the bold look in this suite.

Birthday, Happiness Blooms, Stampin' Up!, SU!

The flower is stamped in Lovely Lipstick and Call Me Clover inks.  This is attached to a card from the Happiness Blooms Memories and More Card pack as is the flowered panel behind that.  The card base is one of the cards from the Happiness Blooms Memories and More Cards & Envelopes – and is larger than our normal A2 size cards that I typically make.  The inside of the card is white.   The card is finished with the Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots.

If you haven’t checked out the suite yet in the Occasions Catalog, hopefully this will  entice you!

Animal Love

Hi! As promised, I am back today with a cute Treat Holder featuring the Animal Outing Suite in the Annual Catalog.

Valentine, Animal Outing, Treat Holder. Stampin' Up!, SU!

Is this little file folder not the cutest?  I saw this idea a few years ago by Becky Roberts but hadn’t yet tried it.  So happy I remembered it!  These are very easy to make and can be done quickly.

The File Folder is 3″ x 5″, scored at 2 1/4″ and 2 1/2″ on the 5″ side.   A piece of Designer Series Paper 2 1/4″ x 3″ is also needed.  To see how to turn it into a folder, watch this video – it is the second project shared:

The animals are from the Animal Outing Stamp set and are colored with Stampin’ Blends.  The Rhino and Giraffe were stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock and die cut using the coordinating framelits.  Stampin’ Blends were used to color the animals – Smoky Slate both light and dark, Calypso Coral light and Pool Party light were used for the Rhino and bird while Daffodil Delight light and Crumb Cake light were used for the Giraffe.    You can order the stamps and dies as a bundle and save 10%!

Love You Valentine

Hi! Today I am sharing a more masculine Valentine!  I am pretty happy with how this turned out and think it suits my guy pretty well.

Valentine, Masculine, Ombre, Sunshine Wishes,  Celebrate You, Stampin' Up!, SU

I shared this card this past week during my Tuesday with Teresa Facebook Live.  The background is created by using a Sponge Brayer and the Basic Gray ink pad on Glossy White Cardstock.  Love the ombre look I achieved.

The rest is straight forward die cuts – the heart and LOVE are dies in the Sunshine Wishes framelits while the YOU is from the Celebrate You die set.

Just realized – no stamping!  Wow!  I just wanted to share that while you may not own a set specific to Valentine’s Day – you probably have products that you can use to make a Valentine’s Day card.

Hope you enjoyed today’s card!

Come back on Saturday – I’ll be sharing a cute treat holder using the Animal Outing suite in the Annual Catalog.

Thanks for stopping by!

Lovely Day

Hi! Today I am sharing a card featuring the Forever Lovely Suite in the Occasions catalog.

Forever Lovely, 2019 Occasions, Stampin' Up!, SU!

This is one of the Make & Takes we did at Convention back in November.  This suite is so pretty!  The Designer Series Paper is called All My Love and is perfect not just for Valentines but for birthday, anniversaries and just because as well.

The die cut elements are done in Soft Sea Foam cardstock using the coordinating Lovely Flowers Edgelit Dies.  The sentiment and flowers are stamped in Lovely Lipstick.  The ribbon is the All My Love combo pack.

If you are looking for a little romance or sweetness in your stamping, this suite is perfect!

Don’t forget, for every $50 (US, prior to S/H and tax) purchase, you get to choose a FREE Level 1 item from the Sale-A-Bration brochure.  There is one exception – the Organdy Ribbon combo pack is currently sold out.  This is a very popular item and supplies are currently depleted.  There is a shipment that should arrive in time for March – so look for it then!

Got Scraps?

Hi!  Welcome to today’s post – using some of those Designer Series Scraps!  We all have them and this layout is perfect for using some of them up!

Butterflies, Thanks, 2019 Occasions, 2019 Sale-a-Bration, Humming Along, Stampin' Up!, SU!

I just love this layout and this Design Series Paper is just gorgeous!   The staggered look of the panels truly appeals to me.

I used a scrap that was 2 1/4″ x 4″.   I cut this into 3 pieces measuring 3/4″ x 4″.   These are then mounted on Basic Black mats that measure 7/8″ x 4 1/8″.

The base color for this card is Highland Heather.  The sentiment is from the Humming Along stamp set in the Occasions Catalog.

This Designer Series Paper is a FREE choice during Sale-A-Bration when you place a $50 (US, prior to S/H and tax) order.   It is called Botanical Butterfly.  It coordinates with the Butterfly Gala bundle in the Occasions Catalog – there are sheets in this Designer Series Paper Pack which can be used with the punch.   Click on the product list below to be taken to my on-line store where you can purchase any of the products (and get your FREE Designer Series Paper) used in today’s card.

Here is another version of this card with Grapefruit Grove:

Butterflies, Butterfly Gala, 2019 Occasions, 2019 Sale-A-Bration, Stampin' Up!, SU!

Yes, I’ve made a few of these cards with this layout.   I think they’ll make a great gift for someone special.

No Adhesive Needed!

Hi!  A little spring cheer for you today with this No Adhesive Needed treat holder!

Hershey Kisses, Butterfly Gala, Gingham Gala, Occasions 2019, Stampin' Up!, SU!

I demonstrated how to make this cute box in last night’s Wednesday with Teresa Facebook Live.  It is the second project in this video:

The size of the Designer Series Paper is 4 1/2″ x 5″.

Score on the 4 1/2″ side at 1″ and 3 1/2″.

Score on the 5″ side at 1″, 2″, 3″, and 4″.

Then in the second and forth square on the top and bottom, score diagonally.

Here is the template with the score lines showing:

It is pretty easy to make.

The Butterfly is colored using sponge daubers and Highland Heather and Lemon Lime Twist ink.  (Ok, so I did use Glue Dots to adhere the butterfly to the ribbon)…  But no adhesive was used to make the box itself or to keep it closed!

The ribbon is from the Sale-A-Bration catalog and is FREE when you place a $50 (US, prior to S/H and tax) order in my on-line store.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project!
