Unfrogettable Stamping!

Sunday Fun Day: Last call for SAB - Sending Support with Favored Flowers card set

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing projects made with Sale-a-Bration items as this fabulous promotion is ending in a few days.  I am sharing cards made with two items that can each be earned with a $50 merchandise order through February 28th - the Sending Support stamp set and Favored Flowers DSP (which coordinates with the Fragrant Flowers bundle on page 21 of the Spring Mini catalog).

 

 

  Above are images and links to the products that I used for today's project. Don't forget that now through February 28th you can earn exclusive Sale-a-Bration items with a qualifying $50 or $100 merchandise order.  To find out more about these items or to place an online order, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code U22V9GDJ* with your online order at checkout through February 28th).  

 

 

  Here is the first card, with a beautiful color palette of Blackberry Bliss, Evening Evergreen and Fresh Freesia - all colors found in the beautiful DSP.  I fussy cut this flower from one of the DSP designs and added a sentiment from the stamp set. I also added a few rhinestone jewels which I think finishes the card nicely.  To add a little something extra to the inside of the card I added a skinny strip of DSP that was from the reverse side of the piece that I cut the flowers.

 

 

 

  This card pulls colors from the DSP design - Calypso Coral, Evening Evergreen and Petal Pink.  I just love this sentiment and already know a co-worker that I will be sending this card as she recently did a presentation for our entire company despite being terrified.  I want to let her know how proud I am of her!

 

 

 Here is one more view of my card set.  Which is your favorite?  Isn't it amazing how the DSP is the star of both cards?  For even more Sale-a-Bration ideas and inspiration, be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week. Happy stamping!!

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

Sunday Fun Day: Dainty Flowers fun fold cards

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing projects made with our favorite DSP from the Spring mini catalog or Sale-a-Bration. I am definitely a HUGE fan of the Dainty Flowers DSP that is an SAB selection with a qualifying $50 order.  You may remember the set of cards and matching notebook that I shared last month (see that post here).  For today's project I decided to use a Diagonal Z-Fold that my new stamping friend Rita shared with me recently (see that blog post by Peggy Noe here).  I did change up the dimensions on my card a teeny bit... I'll share those down below.  This is a 4-1/4" square card that fits in an A2 envelope so won't cost more in postage. I love the designs in this DSP so much I had to make two different cards. This way you can see four of the patterns in this pack. Which is your favorite?

 

  Above are images and links to the products that I used for today's project. Don't forget that now through February 28th you can earn exclusive Sale-a-Bration items with a qualifying $50 or $100 merchandise order.  To find out more about these items or to place an online order, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code U22V9GDJ* with your online order at checkout through February 28th).  

 

 

  This card wasn't that difficult to put together once I had everything cut.  Please see the dimensions below. I did change up the smaller card to be square rather than rectangular, so the dimensions are different than in Peggy's post. This picture shows how the card closes. The diagonal was cut from the fold down to a corner, super easy to do with our stampin' trimmer.

 

Dimensions:

Base card - 8-1/2" x 4-1/4", scored at 4-1/4" and cut on an angle from the fold to a corner

DSP - 3-3/4" square, cut in half on the diagonal

Inside panel - 4" x 4" basic white CS

Mini card - 7" x 3-1/2", scored at 3-1/2"

DSP mini card panel - 3-1/4" x 3-1/4"

Inside panel of mini card - 3-1/4" x 3-1/4" basic white CS

Embellish as desired!

 

 

  For this first card I used Rich Razzleberry card stock for my base and mats. The fun little flower was created using the Petal Park builder punch. Check out this blog post here from last month where I showed steps to create one. I used Fresh Freesia and Evening Evergreen card stock from the 2021-2023 In Color collection to create it. The center of the flower is from the Adhesive Backed Milky Dots jewels in the Spring mini catalog. 

 

 

  For this card I went with Old Olive for the card base and mats.  I also paired it with Starry Sky card stock to mat the stamped piece and strip across the front to anchor it.  I stamped the little flower on the piece cut with the Lasting Label punch knowing it would not fully fit on the piece. I then stamped the flower again on a piece of scrap basic white card stock, colored it with the solid image stamps, and then fussy cut it to mount on top. Easy-peasey!

 

 

  And lastly, here is one more view of my card set. Which one is your favorite?  For even more DSP card ideas and inspiration, be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week. Happy stamping!!

TCH #57 - Coral and Sage Beautifully Happy 4-corner birthday card

 

 

  Hello and Happy Thursday!  There is a new Color Hues challenge out this month - TCH #57: Coral and Sage - and I decided to use that color palette to make a card using the Beautifully Happy Sale-a-Bration selection stamp set. Since we don't have a "sage" color I felt like Soft Succulent from the 2021-2023 In Color collection was the closest. I paired it with Calypso Coral in this birthday card. I am really loving this stamp set - coloring is so easy because it is a 2-step stamp set.

 

 

 

  Want to see what else I've done with it? Check out this post here for more details about the card set I made last month. 

 

 

 

I entered my card here at the Color Hues challenge blog

 

 

 

 

 

  What do you think of this card layout? I was inspired by Dawn Olchefske's 4-corner cards that she has been sharing recently.  I changed mine up a little - since the card is 4-1/4" square, my DSP squares started off as 1-3/4" x 1-3/4" instead of 2" like with her cards. I used the Evening Evergreen DSP plaid design that includes Soft Succulent stripes in the plaid - this is a great pack of designer paper and is on sale now for just $4.60 (see the link below)!  The sentiment was added to a strip of white card stock, which I snipped on one end to form the banner.

 

 

 

 

 

  

    Don't forget that now through February 28th you can earn exclusive Sale-a-Bration items with a qualifying $50 or $100 merchandise order.  To find out more about these items or to place an online order, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code U22V9GDJ* with your online order at checkout through February 28th).

 

 

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the card front. I stamped the middle flower on a piece of scrap card stock, cut it out and mounted it on the card to give it more dimension. Do you see the center? That is one of the milky dots and it works perfectly with this flower.  I love that the solid images used to color the line item images look textured. Because this stamp set is made from photopolymer, it is super-easy to line up the stamps.

 

 

 

   

  For the inside panel, I stamped the smaller flower in the lower left corner and the birthday greeting in the center.  Simple but pretty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Here is one more view of my card. Thanks for visiting and Happy stamping!

Sunday Fun Day: SAB Beautifully Happy card set

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing our favorite Sale-a-Bration stamp sets. I fell in love with the Beautifully Happy set as soon as I saw it in the SAB brochure and I made sure to place a $100 order so I could earn it for FREE! I decided to pair it with the 2021-2023 In Colors to make a quick and easy card set.  

 

    This stamp set is great, because not only does it have beautiful line art images which can be colored with stampin' write markers, stampin' blends and/or watercolor pencils, but it also includes solid image distinktive stamps (meaning it looks textured and has variation when stamped) so you can just ink and stamp the color onto the images. I LOVE that for quick and easy cards!  AND, these are photopolymer stamps, so lining them up is a piece of cake!  Please read on for more details including dimensions, product list and close-up pictures of individual cards...

 

  Above are images and links to the products that I used for today's project. If you order all the items that I used for today's card ($100.35 merchandise total), you'll earn the Beautifully Happy stamp set for FREE! To find out more about these items or to place an online order, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code AWMYZTC4 with your online order at checkout through January 30th).  

 

  Here is how I stamped the inside panel for all six cards. Each was left blank with only a tiny flower stamped in the bottom corner.  These were easy to do assembly-line style.

 

  Here is the card featuring the Pale Papaya flowers.  The dimensions and paper used for all of these cards are as follows:

• Base card - 11" x 4-1/4" (1 each cut from Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Polished Pink and 3 cut from Soft Succulent CS)
• Front and inside panels - basic white CS 5-1/4" x 4"
• Evening Evergreen DSP strip - 3-3/4" x 2"
• Mat - 4-1/2" x 3-1/4" (1 each cut from Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Polished Pink and 3 cut from Soft Succulent CS)
• Stamped panel - basic white CS 4" x 3-1/4"
• Punched oval mat - Evening Evergreen CS
• Punched oval sentiment - basic white CS

All detail stamped images, background dots (stamped off to be more muted) and sentiments were inked with Memento Tuxedo black ink. The solid flower images were inked using Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Polished Pink ink.  The larger leaves were inked using Soft Succulent ink. The tiny buds/leaves were inked using Evening Evergreen ink (stamped off to be lighter).  I did use a Pale Papaya stampin' write marker to color in the bee and an Evening Evergreen stampin' write marker to color in the bottom stem.  

 

  Here is a view of the card with Polished Pink flowers and base card. 

 

  And lastly, here is a photo of the Fresh Freesia card option. Which one is your favorite?  For even more Sale-a-Bration ideas and inspiration, be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week. Happy stamping and Happy Sale-a-Bration!!

Sunday Fun Day: CASE'ing a favorite from 2022

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday Monday!  I apologize for the delay, but I was out of town over the weekend and didn't get a chance to finalize my post.  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing our favorite projects from 2022, but I decided to take it a step further and use new product and CASE it instead.

 

 

  Here is the card that I CASE'd - it was my Sunday Fun Day masculine card project from July 10, 2022. You can hop over to see that original blog post here. 

 

 

 

  Above are images and links to the products that I used for today's project. Are you as happy as I am that Sale-a-Bration has begun?? I just HAD to have the Adorable Owls set when I first saw it last month - they are so cute!  And you can EARN IT FOR FREE with a qualifying $50 merchandise purchase through February 28th!  I also used the new Loveliest Layers Decorative Mask with the Small Blending Brushes from the Spring mini catalog. To find out more about these items or to place an online order, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code AWMYZTC4 with your online order at checkout through January 30th).  

 

 

 

  Here is another view of my card. I used used a small blending brush to add night of navy ink to the basic gray card base. The little owl image is stamped on smoky slate card stock and I colored him with stampin' blends (smoky slate, gray granite, cherry cobbler, old olive and tahitian tide). For the whites of the eyes and pompom topper on the birthday hat, I used a white watercolor pencil. It showed up pretty well on the smoky slate card stock!

 

 

 

  Here you can see the texture on the night of navy card stock strip - it almost looks like ribbon, doesn't it? To get this effect, I used a thin strip of card stock and my bone folder to curl it like you do with curling ribbon and scissors. It breaks the paper fibers and eventually the card stock will separate into two pieces. The underside of the card stock has this great texture that almost looks like suede. It's a great technique that is super easy!

 

 

 

  For the inside, I stamped a little owl peeking from the corner and added a birthday sentiment using the Biggest Wish stamp set. This is a fun one with large blocked sentiments and ones in cursive that you can mix and match. 

 

 

 

  Here is one more view of my card. To see which projects from 2022 were Rachel and Karla's favorites, please be sure to check out the Sisters in Stamping blog.  Happy stamping and Happy Sale-a-Bration!!

Sunday Fun Day: Wonderful World Hippest Hippo envelope gift card holder

  Hello and Happy Sunday! We are featuring alternate uses for envelopes today for our projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog .  With the end of the current Sale-a-Bration promotion coming this week (August 31st!!), I wanted to once again feature the Wonderful World DSP (did you see my summer flowers card post or catch this birthday card post earlier?).   In addition to this DSP, I also used the Hippest Hippos stamp set and coordinating dies which are also SAB selections (each separately free with a qualifying $50 order).  I also used two new punches - the Lasting Label punch from the Annual catalog and the Handmade Tag punch from the Holiday catalog. Want to place an order? Be sure to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store to place an order (don't forget to use Host Code 9KTH7QVD with your online order at checkout through August 31st).  If your order is $50+ you also get to choose a free Sale-a-Bration item, too!  If you want to earn this Wonderful World bundle, make sure your product total is at least $100.

 

 

 

 Here is a closer look at the first card. Isn't this hippo the CUTEST?!?   I colored her using Gray Granite (light and dark), Dark Melon Mambo and Light Old Olive stampin' blends markers.  To create the mat for the Lasting Label punch, I cut the ends from a melon mambo piece and glued offset to the basic white one.   

 

 

 

 

  Here is my second card. I am not sure which one I like better. For this hippo, I colored it the opposite way from the first card with the gray granite stampin' blends and added the little flower with the dark Orchid Oasis stampin' blend marker. 

 

 

 

  I am sure you are wondering "where is the envelope?"  Well, this card is sized at 4-1/2" x 3-1/8" and the inside is an envelope folded in half to form a pocket to hold a gift card holder.  Here is the inside of the card. I added a card stock mat and panel to the right side and left the opening on the left to hold a gift card and additional room to write.  The card is held closed by this beautiful crinkled seam binding ribbon.  Keep reading for more photos and how-to instructions. 

 

Materials and dimensions needed for gift card holder:

• Medium envelope
• Card base 6-1/4" x 4-1/2", score on long side at 3-1/8" 
• Card front mat 4-1/4" x 2-7/8" (use the Handmade Tag punch to cut out a piece from the center before adhering to DSP)
• DSP panel 4-1/8" x 2-3/4"
  
• Inside mat 4" x 2-1/2" (use the Lasting Label punch to cut out a piece before adhering the inside panel) 
• Inside panel 3-3/4" x 2-1/4"
• Skinny scrap of DSP to embellish the inside panel
• Ribbon 20" piece

 

Steps:

1. Take a medium envelope and fold the flap INSIDE the envelope.
2. Fold the envelope so that the "pocket" is on the inside.  Use a bone folder to ensure a crisp fold
3. Fold card base in half and line up folded envelope inside. Glue one side, then the other.
4. Wrap ribbon around card so that the tails face to the right. Tape down in the center of both the front and back of card.
5. Adhere DSP & mat to the front over the ribbon to secure.
6. Add a punch to secure the ribbon on the back.
7. Embellish as desired.

 

 

    Here's one more look at my envelope gift card holders.  For even more envelope ideas and inspiration, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week.  Be sure to check back this week - I actually cut enough card stock to make 4 more gift card holders using other patterns of the Wonderful World DSP and will be sharing those in the days leading up to the end of Sale-a-Bration.

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

Sunday Fun Day: Wonderful World of Flowers card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! We have a theme of summer flowers for our projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog today.  With the end of the current Sale-a-Bration promotion coming soon (August 31st), I wanted to feature the Wonderful World bundle one more time (did you catch this birthday card post earlier?).   In addition to this bundle, I also used the new Handmade Tag punch from the Holiday catalog and  Celebrating You stamp set. Want to place an order? Be sure to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store to place an order (don't forget to use Host Code 9KTH7QVD with your online order at checkout through September 30th).  If your order is $50+ you also get to choose a free Sale-a-Bration item, too!  If you want to earn this Wonderful World bundle, make sure your product total is at least $100.

 

 

  Here is top view of my card. It is a very clean and simple layout, my favorite!

 

 

  This view shows a little better how I layered the two punches cut using the Handmade Tag punch. I pulled the colors used for this card (melon mambo, pear pizzazz and polished pink) from the DSP piece.

 

 

    Here's one more look at my card.  For even more Christmas card ideas and inspiration, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week.

Sunday Fun Day: Wonderful World birthday card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! Today's theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog is birthday cards. I just recently received my Holiday catalog and SAB order and wanted to use the new Wonderful World DSP and stamp bundle that is a Sale-a-Bration selection right now that you can earn for free with a qualifying $100 merchandise order. The papers are so beautiful and the flower images are a perfect match.

 

 

  In addition to the Wonderful World bundle, I also used a new stamp set called Go To Greetings which is in the new Annual catalog. I love the different fonts and sizes of these often-needed sentiments! Click on either of the photos to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store to place an order (don't forget to use Host Code KDZFB6MW with your online order at checkout through July 30th). 

 

 

  This is a super simple Quick & Easy card and you can very easily make quite a few at one time. I wanted to add some texture to the card front so tied a double bow using linen thread.  Want to make one of these cards yourself? Here are the card stock dimensions that I used for my project today:

Card Dimensions

Base card: Melon Mambo CS 11” x 4-1/4″, scored at 5 1/2″

Card front strip: Basic White CS 3-3/4″ x 1-1/4″

Card front mat and inside panel: (2) Basic White Cake CS 5-1/4″ x 4"

Card front panel: DSP 5" x 3-3/4"

Inside panel DSP strip: 5" x 1/4"

 

 

 Here is a closer look at the inside of the card. I used a narrow strip of the DSP for some color and then stamped a flower image from the stamp set using Sahara Sand ink (I used second generation inking, stamping off on scrap paper first, so you can write over the image if needed).

 

 

    Here's one more look at my card.  For even more birthday card ideas and inspiration, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week.

Sunday Fun Day: Reminder - Sale-a-Bration ends tomorrow Feb. 28th!!

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing projects featuring our favorite Sale-a-Bration selections since this fabulous promotion is ending on Monday, February 28th!!  If there is anything else on your wish list, don't forget to place your order before it is too late. If ordering online, please be sure to use Host Code QNTFU7G6.  For my card set today, I used the Friendly Hello bundle (awesome stamp set plus coordinating DSP) that is FREE with a qualifying $100 merchandise order.  Please read on to learn more about each card. 

 

 

  Please see above for the Sale-a-Bration products I used with today's project - the Friendly Hello bundle, free with a qualifying $100 purchase through February 28th! Click on either photo above to hop over to my Stampin' Up! store to place an order.

 

 

  Here is my first card. I used the gorgeous monochromatic design featuring granny apple green. This pattern is almost tropical and I love it for a thinking of you card. I added a strip of the DSP on the inside of the card and stamped the foliage image after stamping off to lighten the ink color. For the card front I stamped the sentiment using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and offset one of the images on the panel that I cut out using the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch.

 

 

  For my second card, I used a piece of the Fresh Freesia pattern. I think this paper is so pretty!  This is a clean and simple birthday card with just a sentiment stamped on a panel cut using the Tailored Tag punch and a few Rhinestone basic jewels.  Again, I added a strip of the DSP to the inside panel.  This is a good way to use up scraps and also a little touch that goes a long way toward making the inside as beautiful as the outside of the card.

 

 

  This last card features a striped pattern and I paired it with a card base cut from Shaded Spruce card stock. I added a trip of Pool Party card stock and the punch is matted with a piece of Petal Pink card stock.  I inked the sentiment with Shaded Spruce ink and stamped the bird image on a scrap piece of basic white card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored it with Stampin' Blends (Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Shaded Spruce and Soft Suede), cut it out and then mounted it on the panel using stampin' dimensionals.  I loved pulling in colors from the DSP to help me determine how to color my image.

 

 

 

  Here's one more look at my card set featuring so many of the pretty patterns from this DSP. For last-minute Sale-a-Bration product ideas and projects, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what Karla and Rachel created.

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.
