Favored Flowers Birthday

Hi!  For today’s card, I am showcasing the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper that you can earn FREE until Feb 28 with a minimum $50 purchase (prior to S/H and tax) in my on-line store.

DSP, Designer Series Paper, Favored Flowers DSP, #SAB2023, Stampin' Up!, SU!, Birthday

I love when I can use our gorgeous Designer Series Paper as the star of the card.  This paper is SO pretty, it doesn’t need anything more than a ribbon and a sentiment.   The sentiment is from the Beautifully Happy Stamp set – also FREE during Sale-A-Bration with a $100 purchase (prior to S/H and tax).

The sentiment is stamped on a scrap of Basic White in JetBlack StaZon and punched with the Double Oval punch.  A scrap of Petal Pink cardstock was used to punch the scallop oval from the Double Oval punch.  To finish the card, attach a piece of Petal Pink Soft Polyester Ribbon near the bottom and then use a smaller piece of the ribbon to tie a knot around it.  This method allows the ends of the ribbon to lie horizontal on the card.

The base of the card is Thick Basic White and the DSP is attached after the ribbon is attached.  The sentiment is attached using Mini Dimensionals.

Now, a little late, but here is the winner of the Counting Sheep Bundle!

Congratulations to Vonda for winning the Counting Sheep Bundle during my 18th Stampaversary Give Away!  I’ll be in touch soon to get your information to get this in the mail to you!

Thanks so much for joining me today!  Wishing you a great start to your weekend!

Dragonfly Note

Hi!  I have a very quick card to share with you today using the Dragonfly Garden and Watercolor Shapes stamp sets in the Annual Catalog.

Friendship, Note, Dragonfly Garden, Watercolor Shapes, Stampin' Up! #simplestamping, Happy Labels

I love the clean and simple look of this card and think it is perfect for jotting down a quick note and sending it on its way.

The Watercolor Square is stamped in Balmy Blue ink.  The dragonfly is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  A Black Stampin’ Write marker is used to make the flight trail.   The sentiment is from the Happy Labels stamp set found in the January-April Mini and is also stamped in Tuxedo Black ink.

The base of the card is Thick Basic White – measuring 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ and folded.

Do you like the clean look or is to too plain?

However you spend your day, I hope it’s a good one.

Thanks for stopping by!

Fabulous Fancy Flora

Hi!  Happy Friday! Today I have a One Sheet Wonder (OSW) to share with you using the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper in the January-April Mini Catalog.

I had wanted to create a 6″x6″ OSW to help my customers use the papers they received in their Designer Series Paper Share for this Mini and for Sale-A-Bration.  Here is my cutting layout for the paper:

One Sheet Wonder, OSW, Designer Series Paper, DSP, Fancy Flora, Stampiin' Up!, #JanAprilMini2023

Cut the 6″x6″ in half so you have 2 pieces that are 3″ x 6″.  Cut one of the pieces in half so you have 2 pieces measuring 3″x3″.  Cut the second 3″x6″ at 4″, so you have a 4″x3″ and 2″x3″.  Cut the 4″x3″ into 3 1″ pieces – keeping them in order.

Here is Card 1:

Fancy Flora DSP, Charming Sentiments, OSW, Stampin' Up!, #JanAprilMini2023

The base of the card is Basic White Thick cardstock, measuring 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4″ and folded.  The 3″x3″ DSP is matted on a piece of Soft Suede cardstock measuring 3 1/8″ x 3 1/8″.  The layer behind is Soft Suede cardstock measuring 2″ x 5 1/2″ and embossed with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.  The sentiment is from Charming Sentiments in the Annual Catalog and stamped with Soft Succulent Ink.

Here is Card 2:

Fancy Flora, OSW, Campology, Grove Dies, Book Binding Technique, Stampin' Up!, #AnnualCatalog2023, #JanAprilMini2023

For Card 2, I flipped over the Designer Series Paper to make a masculine card.  I also decided to do the Book Binding Technique – which is very easy.  The base of the card is Basic White,  measuring 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ and 5″.  Fold as normal at 4 1/4″.  Fold up on the 5″ score line.  Attach of piece of Burlap ribbon using Tear & Tape to the front of the card between the two folds.  Then use two strips of Tear & Tape on the inside between the two folds to adhere the 3/4″ strip to create the binding.  Attach the two pieces of Designer Series Paper to a piece of Soft Suede cardstock measuring 3 1/4″ x 5 1/4″.  Attach to the card base.  Stamp the sentiment from Charming Sentiments in Soft Suede ink on a scrap of Basic White and die cut with coordinating die.  Stamp the trees from Campology on a piece of Basic White measuring 2″ x 3 1/2″ in Evening Evergreen ink.  Use a Soft Suede Stampin’ Write marker to color in the trunks of the trees.  Attach to a piece of Soft Suede card stock measuring 2 1/8″ x 3 5/8″ and adhere to card front.   Die cut a deer using the Grove dies from Early Espresso scrap.  Attach to card front  Attach sentiment at bottom.

Here is Card 3:

OSW, Fancy Flora, Charming Sentiments, Two-Tone Flora, Stampin' Up!, #JanAprilMini2023

I love this layout – and I am sure you have seen it in the past here on my blog.  But if not, I highly encourage you to use it as I believe you’ll love it as much as I do.  Attach the 1″x4″ pieces of  DSP to 1 1/8″ x 4 1/8″ strips of Soft Suede cardstock.  Similar to the DSP, you can start with a piece of cardstock measuring 3 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, then cut into 3- 1 1/8″ strips.  The base of this card is Basic White Thick cardstock measuring 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″ and folded.  You can stagger the placement of the strips as I did, or you can align them across your card front.  Using the large flower from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set, stamp the base of the flower in Crumb Cake ink and the details in Soft Suede ink.  Die cut with coordinating dies.  Stamp the leaves in Soft Succulent and die cut with coordinating dies.  Stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on a scrap of Basic White and die cut with the coordinating Sentiment Silhouettes die.  Attach the flower and leaves to the card front and then attach the sentiment.

Here is the FaceBook Live I did showcasing the cuts and how each card was made:

I hope you have enjoyed my One Sheet Wonder and give it a try.

Flora Thanks

Hi!  How are you?  Today I am back participating in Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlights!  The theme is Thanks and here is the card I have created:

Thtanks, Two-Tone Flora, Shimmer, #kyliesinternationalhighlights, Stampin' Up!, #JanAprilMini2023

I love the new Texture Shimmer Paper in the January-April Mini catalog – and paired it here with the Fancy Flora 6″x6″ Designer Series Paper.

I decided to pull the colors from the Fancy Flora paper for my stamped images from the Two Tone Flora stamp set that coordinates with the Designer Series Paper.   I used Blushing Bride and Calypso Coral for my flower and Soft Succulent for the leaves.  These are die-cut with the coordinating dies.

I wanted to bring some shimmer to the flower to match the shimmer from the Textured paper, so I colored the flower with Clear Wink of Stella.  Not sure how easy it is to see in the picture, but it does sparkle in real life.

Two Tone Flora, Thank You, Stampin' Up!, #JanAprilMini2023

The sentiment is from Artistically Inked in the Annual Catalog and stamped in Calypso Coral ink.  It is die cut using the Scalloped Contours Dies.    To finish the card, 3 Rhinestones were colored with the Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blend and placed in the upper right corner of the sentiment.

Card dimensions:

  • Base – Balmy Blue – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ and folder
  • Balmy Blue Textured Shimmer – 5 1/4″ x 4″
  • Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper – 4 1/2″ x 3 1/4″

If you like my card, I’d love for you to vote for it in Kylie’s Highlights post here: https://bit.ly/February2023VoteforMe  Just click on the heart in the upper right corner to cast your vote.

Don’t forget, we are still Sale-A-Brating with FREE products when you place a minimum $50 (US, prior to S/H and tax) order in my on-line store.

Kitty Valentine

Hi!  Back today with another Valentine for you – this time using the Love Cats stamp set.

Valentines, Love Cats, Stampin' Up!, #JanApril2023Mini

As a cat lover, I couldn’t resist this stamp set from the Mini Catalog.   They are just so cute.

This card features a play with Patterned Paper – I combined prints from the Country Gingham DSP 6″x6″ pack and the Country Floral Lane DSP 12″x12″ pack.   No surprise that the colors coordinate since they are both part of the Country Floral Lane Suite in the Mini Catalog.

My base is Balmy Blue – measuring 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ and folded.  The gingham strip measures 5 1/2″ x 1″, the Balmy Blue and Mint Macaron Heart piece measures 4″ x 2″, and the Balmy Blue mat behind the cat measures 3″ x 3″.

The cat is stamped in Memento Black ink and the heart is colored with the Dark Real Red Stampin’ Blend.  He is die cut with the second largest square from the Stylish Shapes die set.

The sentiment -also from the Love Cats stamp set, is stamped in Memento Black as well.

I had fun playing with the different pieces of Designer Series Paper and hope you are inspired to try the same.

Before I sign-off, I wanted to mention that I am celebrating 18 years as a demonstrator this month and am offering a special for purchase of $50 (prior to S/H and tax) through Feb 10 when made in my on-line store using this link:  https://www.stampinup.com?hostcode=QMC2ZDAY

Thanks for stopping by.

Valentine Gnomes

Hi!  Happy February!  Hard to believe how quickly January flew by, isn’t it?  We are half-way through Sale-A-Bration – have you earned your FREE products yet?  No?  Well maybe today’s project will inspire you to make a purchase and earn you a FREE product.

Today’s projects are made with the Friendly Gnomes stamp set in the January-April Mini Catalog.

Friendly Gnomes, Valentine's, Treat Package, Stampin' Up! #JanApril2023Mini

I shared how to make this project in my Facebook Live last night – I’ll share the video below.

The dimensions for the treat holder are  4 1/2″ x 5″.  Score on the 5″ side at 1/2″ and 4 1/2″.   On the 4 1/2″ side, score at 1 1/4″ and 1 3/4″.    To make the angle cuts, with the 4 1/2″ side score lines being the bottom of the box, make a mark on each side at 1 1/2″ from the top edge.  Then cut an angle from each of the 1/2″ score lines to the 1 1/2″ mark on the edge.

To make the tabs for the bottom part of the box, cut in on the 1 1/4″ and 1 3/4″ score lines to the 1/2″ score line on both sides.

The Designer Series Paper on the front measures 1 1/8″ x 3 7/8″.

The Gnome is from the Friendly Gnomes set and is stamped in Memento Black ink.  He is colored using the following Stampin’ Blends markers:

  • hat – Light Balmy Blue
  • nose and hands – Deep Natural Tones – the lighter of the two
  • pants and sleeves – Light Night of Navy
  • beard – Light Smoky Slate
  • heart – Dark Real Rd
  • shoes – Dark Smoky Slate
  • sole of shoes – Light Basic Black

He is die cut using the coordinating die from the Gnomes Dies – this is not listed in the catalog but is a carry over from the July-December Mini and available while supplies last (it is currently on low inventory).

The sentiment is from the Love Cats stamp set also found in the January-April mini and die cut with the Stitched Rectangle dies.

The first project I shared last night was a coordinating card:

Friendly Gnomes, Fun Fold, Valentines, Stampin' Up!, #JanApril23Mini

The Gnome is stamped and colored the same as in the treat box above.

To make the card, start with a base measuring 4 1/4″ x 11″.  Score at 5 1/2″.  Measure 2″ past the score line and cut.  This gives you the top part of the card.  From the piece that was cut off, measure 2″ from the bottom and cut.  This is the bottom piece of the card.

For this card, I used Balmy Blue card stock, Country Gingham Designer Series Paper and Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper.  Cut two strips of Gingham paper 1 3/4″ x 4″.   Attach one to the top of the card base and one to the 2″ strip cut for the bottom.    Attach a 3″ x 3″ piece of the Country Floral Lane small heart paper to the same size Balmy Blue card stock before die-cutting the mushroom from the Gnomes Dies.  Align the 2″ piece of Balmy Blue to the bottom edge of the base card stock before attaching the mushroom – the mushroom attaches the 2″ x 4 1/4″ piece of cardstock to the front of the card.

The hearts are stamped in Real Red ink on a scrap of Basic White and punched with the Country Bouquet Punch.  The punch is currently on back order and will arrive in mid-April – but you could use any small heart punch to add a bit more detail to the front of the card.  The inside of the card is a piece of Basic White measuring 4″ x 5 1/4″.   A sentiment is stamped behind the gnome on the inside.

Here’s the video – the card is shown first and then the treat box.

Please let me know if you have any questions on either project.

Sending Happy Thoughts

Hi!  How are you?  I hope all is going well.   I’ve been busy and having fun with the Sale-A-Bration products available for FREE with a purchase through Feb 28.

Today, I am sharing a card I made in last week’s Facebook Live featuring the Beautifully Happy Stamp Set that is FREE with a $100 (prior to S/H and tax) purchase.

SAB, Beautifully Happy, Stampin' Up!, SU!, Happy Thoughts, #SAB2023

I had seen a sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches Challenges in my FB feed that I wanted to give a try and this is the result.

This stamp set is a 2-Step stamping set – it contains both the outline images as well as stamps to fill in the image.  The flower outline is stamped in Memento Black ink and the fill-in images are stamped in Flirty Flamingo for the flower and Old Olive for the base of the flower and bud.  The sentiment is also stamped in Memento Black ink.

The base of the card is Flirty Flamingo – measuring 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″ and folded.  There is a Basic Black mat measuring 4″ x 5 1/4″ and the Basic White stamped layer is 3 3/4″ x 5″.

A relatively simple stamping card – and with the 2-step stamping, very easy to create.  There are times a quick card is needed, and the images and sentiments in this set are perfect for that.

If you have not yet taken advantage of Sale-A-Bration – I urge you to do so soon.  As we get closer to the end of February – we may run out of your favorites – so to ensure you get the FREE items you want, shop today!

Thanks for stopping by!
