Sunday Fun Day: Robot Sweet Talk note card and gift set

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are celebrating all things hearts, just in time since Valentine's Day is right around the corner. I decided to make a cute valentine note card and matching little gift box using the Nuts & Bolts stamp set and Sweet Talk DSP from the Spring catalog.

 

 

  Please see above for the products I used for my card and gift set. Click on any photo above to hop over to my Stampin' Up! store to place an order.

 

 

  Today's entire project was inspired by a recent trip to the Dollar store... I saw this cute little paper box and small bag of chocolates. On a side note, when did the prices go up? These were still a bargain, though - for just $2.50 I had the beginning of a super cute Valentine's Day gift.  I decided to cover the box with the Sweet Talk DSP.

 

 

  I used the box lid on the reverse of the DSP design that I wanted to use as a template, and then simply cut it out with my paper snips. The lid was sunken in a little, so I added some mini dimensionals to prop up the DSP.

 

 

 

    The diameter around the box is exactly 12", so for the bottom I could use a single strip of DSP. However, for the lid I wanted some contrast using real red card stock, so cut two pieces at 6-1/2" inches and overlapped the first piece like so. Here's a tip - if you want to make your card stock wrap around a curved edge easier, use your bone folder to break the fibers much like you would with curling ribbon. 

 

 

     And here is the finished box, so cute right?!? Check out that robot image that I stamped on a piece of white card stock that I cut out using the Layering Circles dies. I added a few hearts as well and then colored everything using highland heather, real red and smoky slate stampin' blends markers.  The mini bag of chocolates fit perfectly inside the box.

 

 

  Here is the matching note card and envelope. I added a mat of real red card stock and just a small strip of the DSP. I love this robot image and the sentiment is great.  I added a few hearts and colored all with my stampin' blends.

 

 

  For the inside of the card I used the third robot image from the set. So cute and the sentiment goes with it perfectly (check out that "flower")!

 

 

    For the outside of the envelope, I stamped the same robot that I used for the gift box. To prevent the stampin' blends from bleeding through to the back of the envelope, I slid a piece of scrap paper in before I started coloring.

 

 

  Here is one more view of my sweet set.  For even more heart-inspired projects, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog.

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

Sunday Fun Day: Celebrating Sale-a-Bration with an Otterly Awesome card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday Monday! Due to technical difficulties (the premature death of my iPhone, which I dropped while in the grocery store over the weekend), my post is a little delayed.  But better late than never, right?  For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are showcasing Sale-a-Bration products.  These are exclusive items that you can't purchase - they can only be earned with a qualifying $50 or $100 purchase through February 28, 2022.  If you didn't get a catalog, be sure to check out the selections here in my Stampin' Up! store.

 

 

  Please see above for the products I used for my card: Awesome Otters cling stamp set (SAB, free with $50 purchase), Simply Marbleous 6" x 6" DSP pack (SAB, free with $50 purchase) and the Double Oval punch.  Please click on any photo above to hop over to my Stampin' Up! store to place an order.

 

 

  Here is another view of my card - I went  for a super quick & easy card, one where I didn't have to color. I think these little squares look cute as is, don't you? The swirly background DSP reminded me of water, so perfect for the otters!  The colors of card stock used are Balmy Blue and In Color Misty Moonlight (if you love this color like I do, be sure to stock up before it retires in a few months!!).

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the stamped squares.   These little guys are just so stinkin' cute!  I kept the embellishments super simple with just a strip of the balmy blue card stock with the oval punches.

 

 

   For the inside, I simply stamped the otter in the lower left corner. So cute!

 

 

  Here is one more view of my card.  For even more Sale-a-Bration product ideas and inspiration, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog.

Sunday Fun Day: Flowing Flowers birthday card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! I hope you are having a great weekend. We are experiencing snow and ice today, which makes me happy that I get to stay inside and stamp.  For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing birthday cards. I have been having fun playing with new products from the Jan-June Spring mini catalog and used a few for my card today.

 

  Please see above for the products I used for my card: Flowing Flowers stamp set, Butterflies & Flowers layering decorative masks (applied using a Blending brush) and Evening Evergreen windowpane check ribbon  Please click on any photo above to hop over to my Stampin' Up! store to place an order.

 

 

  Here is another view of my card - I went with a color of palette of Evening Evergreen, So Saffron and Basic White for my card. I created this gorgeous background piece using one of the layering masks and Evening Evergreen ink on a piece of basic white card stock. I then softly brushed on color after removing the mask to give it a little more color.  If you look at the stamp set, the Happy Birthday sentiment is one single line. I didn't have enough room to stamp it that way on my basic white panel, so inked the Happy first and stamped it and then the Birthday.

 

 

  The large flower was inked with So Saffron ink, and then I applied a little more color with a Mango Melody stampin' write marker in the center. I then fussy cut it and popped it up on the stamped panel. 

 

 

   For the inside, I simply stamped a smaller flower image with So Saffron ink in the lower left corner and the fun sentiment in the center with Evening Evergreen ink.

 

 

  Here is one more view of my card.  For even more birthday card ideas and inspiration, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog.

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

January 2022 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: In with the New

 

  Hi there and welcome to the January 2022 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing projects featuring NEW products - we have so much to choose from with the debut of the new January-June mini catalog AND the start of our Spring Sale-a-Bration promotion last week!  I decided to make a card set with the Friendly Hello bundle, which is a Sale-a-Bration selection when you purchase $100 in product. It has a stamp set and coordinating DSP pack. I wanted to show you some of the beautiful patterns so kept my cards super clean and simple.

 

 

  Check out that awesome SAB Friendly Hello bundle!  It has a stamp set and coordinating DSP pack. I wanted to show you some of the beautiful patterns, so featured big pieces on my simple cards.  I used the colors in the DSP for my card color palette: fresh freesia, granny apple green, petal pink, pool party and shaded spruce along with basic white and basic black.  The full product list for my card set is above.  Be sure to click on any of the images above to visit my Stampin' Up! store to purchase.

 

 

  Here is the first card - the DSP pattern is so pretty so I kept the sentiment very minimal. Wondering how I got the white strip?  I used my paper trimmer with a cutout from the Everyday Label punch to cut it like this in the photo above.  The stamp set is photopolymer, so it is very easy to see where you're stamping and it lined up perfectly.  That strip fit nicely with the Pool Party mat cut using the Label Me Lovely punch. The inside of the card has the smaller flower image stamped inside with pool party ink.

 

 

  For this monochromatic card featuring this beautiful granny apple green leaf pattern, I used a a piece cut out using the Tasteful Labels dies and stamped the sentiment with Tuxedo black ink and a similar foliage image from the DSP using granny apple green ink.  I used the same foliage image on the inside of the card as well.

 

 

  For this card, I decided to add some color rather than going with another monochromatic card. The bird image was stamped with pool party ink and then I used a blender pen and petal pink ink pad to dot color in the flower centers to pull in the petal pink card base. The sentiment was stamped with tuxedo black ink.

 

 

  Here is the last card - this one features a striped pattern featuring all of the colors. I wanted to use the bold Friendly Hello sentiment and thought it looked good with shaded spruce ink. I added the smaller flower in the lower left area of the diecut, stamped with granny apple green ink. I then stamped it again using fresh freesia ink on a scrap piece which I fussy cut and then added with a dimensional on top. 

  So what do you think, isn't this Sale-a-Bration bundle a must-have? For even more must-have inspiration, please be sure to check out the other blogs using the links below.

Thanks for visiting and happy stamping!!
