Share What You Love Card!

5 / 14 / 18

Hello everyone!  I hope you had a great Mother’s Day weekend!  Schedules aligned for about 1 1/2 hours on Saturday night when we realized we were all home together so the kids took me out to dinner!  I enjoyed Mexican food, my favorite!  And of course, I enjoyed being with all three kids (it’s pretty rare these days). 🙂

I wanted to share a card I made at a card class a couple of weeks ago using the Share What You Love Bundle.

This is a pre-release from the upcoming Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog. It will be available all month in three bundle options.  You can see the bundles here.    All three of these bundles are gorgeous but the best part to me is the Designer Series Paper.  It is a heavy weight paper with beautiful designs. You get four sheets of each double sided pattern.  Some of the paper has a beautiful shimmer as well.

Here are the details for this card:

Card base:  Old Olive 5.5″ x 8.5, scored at 4.25″,  Designer Series Paper Mat:  5.25″ x 4″, Small strip of Designer Series Paper:  1.5″ x 4″

Another Happy Birthday!

2 / 23 / 18

We’ve had days and days of rain.  So I needed something springy.   Love the new Tutti-Frutti Designer Series Paper in the Occasions Catalog!  It’s super springy! This cute little card made with the Fruit Basket Bundle, featuring some of that DSP, came together really quick.

I love the little strip of designer series paper, the doily, and of course the fruit!  Some of the fruit I stamped directly on the paper but some I punched out and glued on;  so the fruit is layered and it gives it a little dimension.  The white heat embossed sentiment really pops on that red!

Here are the details:

  • Pear Pizzaz Card base:  8.5″x5.5″, scored at 4.25″
  • Designer Series Paper strip:  2″x5.5″
  • Sentiments strips using Real Red Cardstock:  width is .5″ and then trim length once you’ve stamped

February is Birthday month!

2 / 22 / 18

I have two kids with birthdays in Feb. and my niece with a March birthday and it keeps me busy this time of year. They are having a Bob Ross painting party this weekend, I’ll share some pics next week! 🙂

Here is a cute little birthday card I made using the Fruit Basket Bundle. Cute little pieces of fruit with matching punches and the Tutti-Frutti Designer Series Paper are so fun!

This card was inspired by pinterest.  I used aqua painters to color the background with Lemon Lime Twist Ink used on just regular Whisper White paper.  You can get away with that if you don’t use very much water.  If you use too much water it damages the paper.  🙂

Here are the measurements:

  • Lemon Lime Twist Card Base:  8.5″x5.5″, scored at 4.25″
  • Whisper White Cardstock Mat:  5.25″x4″
  • Strips of Designer Series Paper:  .75″ x 3″, trim down to be as long or short as you want
  • Strip of Whisper White Cardstock:  .5″x2.5″

Valentine’s is almost here!

2 / 5 / 18

I’ve got a super cute treat box to share with you that I made at a Valentine’s class this weekend. It’s super cute and super easy. It features the mini pizza boxes which are the perfect size for some candy or a homemade cookie (the inside is food safe).  The background paper is Berry Burst Cardstock and the strip in the middle is Painted with Love Designer Series Paper.  So pretty!  I heat embossed the heart with gold embossing powder and then fussy cut the heart out.

Today is a perfect time to place an order for your valentine supplies.  Sale-a-Bration is still going on and you can earn free product with every $50 purchase.  The hostess code for February is G9FMVTK7.   If your order is less than $150, please use the hostess code!

Fab Friday 129 – Challenge

1 / 29 / 18

I’m so glad to be back in my craft studio this week after being sick last week.  I’m playing along today with the Fab Friday Challenge!   I chose the new Fruit Basket Stamp set!  I love this cute little fruity stamp set with the matching punches.  Here’s the sketch for this challenge:

I stayed pretty true to the sketch except I used a different shape in the center.  I used the Tutti-Frutti Designer Series Paper for the mat pieces on the card.  Then I used the stamp set and punches to create the focal point.  I love this paper!  To create some interest on the left side of the card, I used versa-mark ink and randomly stamped a strawberry outline.  It really helped balance the card.

Here are the measurements:

  • Card base:  8.5″x5.5″, scored at 4.25″
  • First mat:  5.25″x2″ (green dsp)
  • Second mat:  5.25″x .75″

Umbrellas!

1 / 23 / 18

I love the Weather Together stamp set with it’s umbrellas! As promised, here are two more cards I made using this set. Both ideas came from pinterest!

I copied this card exactly like it was from pinterest but I didn’t have the striped paper so I made my own by using the Diagonal Strip Background stamp with Basic Grey Ink.  Then on the first mat, I used Versamark Ink to stamp the umbrellas.  Love how it turned out!

Here are the measurements:

  • Card base:  8.5″x5.5″, scored at 4.25″
  • First mat:  5″x3.75″
  • Sentiment strip:  .5″x3.75″

The next card was inspired by pinterest but not an exact copy. Love that this set comes with clouds! I used my Stampin’ Blends to make the shadows on the clouds using Smokey Slate Light and the Color Lifter.

I used an aquapainter with Pool Party Ink to create the rainy background.  Then with the Umbrella framelits I cut out the umbrellas in different colors of card stock.  I attached them to the umbrella handle using snail.  I popped some of the umbrellas up using dimensionals and some I glued directly on to the card.

Here are the measurements:

  • Card Base:  8.5″x5.5″, scored at 4.25″
  • First Mat:  Watercolor paper, 5.25″x4″

Weather Together

1 / 21 / 18

It’s suppose to rain today and I don’t mind. It seems like we are always needing the rain here and something about clouds and rain makes me smile. 🙂

This stamp set, Weather Together, also makes me smile. It’s in the Annual Catalog and I’ve overlooked it several times but I started playing around with it the other day and I love it! There are stamps and a matching thinlet set.

I made several cards with this set that I will be sharing over the next few days.  Remember during Sale-a-Bration you can order stuff from the Annual Catalog and earn free stuff  thru the end of March  (for every $50 in product).  This is a super simple card using Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper.

Here are the measurements:

  • Cardbase:  Berry Burst 8.5″x5.5″, scored at 4.25″
  • First mat:  5.25″x4″
  • Second mat (white):  5″x3.75″
  • Strips are .5″ by approximately 3″

Global Design Project-#GDP120

1 / 11 / 18

As promised, I’m participating in more challenges this year to get my creativity going and also because it’s just fun! This week I’m participating in the Global Design Project-#GDP120-Case the Design. Here’s the project:

CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit

When I CASE a project I take what I like from the design and make it my own. It might be the stamp set – the colours, the layout, the theme, the images – whatever inspires me to make a card of my own.  I love the clean simple design layout of her card and the colors.  I based my card of those two things, the layout and the colors.  I chose a color combination that is simple but makes an impact Crushed Curry and Smokey Slate.  I’ve been playing around with the Weather Together Stamp set from the annual catalog, so I knew I wanted to incorporate it as well.  Here’s my card:
