Stampin’ Up! Stylish Sketches Birthday Card

This lovely birthday card was created using the Stylish Sketches Stamp Set, Wildflower Path Stamp Set and the Rings of Love 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. Both the Stylish Sketches Stamp Set and the Rings of Love 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper are Sale-A-Bration items that you can earn for free. The Rings of Love 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper coordinates with the Ringed With Nature Bundle which can be found in the July-December Mini Catalog. Hurry, though…Sale-A-Bration ends tomorrow!

I started with a white cardstock panel measuring 4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ and stamped the leaf and berry image from the Stylish Sketches Stamp Set in the upper left and lower right in Tuxedo Black Memento ink. A Blender Pen was used to color in the images with Poppy Parade, Mint Macaron, Soft Suede and Crushed Curry inks. I chose the Ralph Waldo Emerson quote from the Wildflower Path Stamp Set as the sentiment for the center of this panel which was stamped in Poppy Parade ink.

A piece of the Rings of Love DSP was matted to a Poppy Parade cardstock mat, then this unit was adhered to the front of the card base. The stamped and colored white panel was also matted to a piece of Poppy Parade cardstock. I piece of Baker’s Twine was wrapped around this unit twice and tied with a bow. This unit was then centered over the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The same leaf and berry image was stamped onto the inside card panel as well as the envelope front and colored using the same inks as the card front panel. A piece of coordinating Rings of Love DSP was used to decorate the envelope flap. The card front was finished off with several Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.

I love a double-matted card! I think it adds a little something extra and the double matting combined with the beautiful image from the Stylish Sketches Stamp Set and Rings of Love DSP is the perfect touch.

Stampin’ Up! Kindest Gnomes Christmas Card

The Kindest Gnomes Bundle (stamps and dies) and the Storybook Gnomes 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper is just adorable! Who doesn’t love a cute little Gnome?

A winter scene was created for today’s card using these products. Our Gnome is standing on a snow hill and the mushrooms and gnome house are frosted from the cold, but our Gnome is bringing warm wishes for the holiday season!

I started with a card base in Pacific Point. A piece of the Storybook Gnomes DSP in varying shades of blue snowflakes adorns the card front along with the Gnome and his toadstool home. A piece of white glimmer paper was used to create the snow hill and the gnome and house were stamped and colored using Stampin’ Blends then die cut. The snowflakes, house, and mushroom were dusted with Wink of Stella for some extra sparkle. A sentiment label was added to the card front along with a Glittered Organdy Ribbon bow and rhinestones. Sentiments from the Brightest Glow Stamp Set were used. This is a must have stamp set if you’re making Christmas cards…beautiful sentiments and fonts!

The inside of the card shows a strip of coordinating DSP and the sentiment “Merry Christmas” is stamped in Pacific Point.

Blues are not traditional colors for Christmas – we usually think of reds and greens – but I’m loving all of the blues in this card. Beautiful!

The Kindest Gnomes Stamp Set and Gnomes Dies are not just for Christmas, though. This bundle can be used for a number of different cards. I’ve seen several samples using this bundle for Fall-themed cards, Halloween cards, and this bundle would be perfect for Valentine cards and birthday cards too!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Lights Holiday Card

Check out the twinkling stars and lights on this Christmas card! Today’s card was made using the Christmas Lights Bundle and the Brightest Glow Bundle. Both of these bundles can be found in the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. Beautiful images and greetings in these bundles!

I started off by die cutting a Christmas tree from a piece of Lights Aglow 6″ x 6″ Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper is a perfect complement to the Christmas Lights Bundle! The coordinating dies cut (outline and detailed dies) out numerous points of light so of course I die cut a second Christmas tree from Brushed Metallic Gold cardstock – but only the outline of the tree this time – and dropped the gold tree behind the DSP tree so that all of the gold shines through.

Once the Christmas Tree was assembled, I temporarily positioned the tree on the black cardstock to determine placement of stars which were die cut from the black cardstock. Both the Twinkly Lights Dies and the Labels Aglow Dies have stars, so there is a sufficient number to make one pass in your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine…cool!

Once the black cardstock was die cut I adhered this panel to a mat in Brushed Metallic gold cardstock, then adhered this to the card front. The Christmas tree and sentiment label were adhered to the black panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Satin Edged Ribbon bow to the top of the tree and this completed the card front.

An additional sentiment was stamped on the inside panel as well as the image of the Christmas tree and this panel was matted with a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock then adhered to the inside of the card.

The envelope was decorated with a stamped image of the Christmas tree on the front and coordinating DSP was adhered to the envelope flap.

I had so much fun playing with these bundles! I’m looking forward to creating more Christmas cards using these sets. I had debated on creating a center step fun fold for this card but opted for an easel card instead. A center step fun fold would be perfect to show off this beautiful tree…stay tuned!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Sunflowers Paper Pumpkin Kit

I don’t have a project sheet for you today, Instead I wanted to share my recently completed August Sweet Sunflowers Paper Pumpkin Kit! Gorgeous, simple and easy!

The August kit – Sweet Sunflowers – made a total of 9 cards in three different designs. I can’t begin to describe just how beautiful these cards turned out. I don’t think my photos really do them justice. The kit materials are high quality, and you can choose to complete the kits per the instructions or change things up and put your own spin on the design. The envelopes in this kit were equally beautiful! Here are the other two card designs. Click on one of the images to view larger.

If you’re not yet a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, I encourage you to give Paper Pumpkin a try! Here are my top 10 reasons why Paper Pumpkin should be at the top of your list.

  1. You can subscribe to Paper Pumpkin on a month-to-month basis, a 3 month, 6 month or 12 month subscription so subscriptions are flexible
  2. Pause and resume your subscription at any time – you have control over your subscription (just be sure to take action before the 10th of the month if you don’t won’t the upcoming months’ kit!)
  3. Kit contents are different each month and may include cards or a project so there is lots of variety
  4. Kits arrive around the 20th of each month
  5. The kit includes everything you will need to complete your kit
  6. Instructions are included to complete kits, or you can change things up and add additional elements, rearrange kit components, etc. You have control over how you complete the kit.
  7. Kit materials contain quality products
  8. Kits can be shared with friends, or get the kids involved
  9. Once you complete your kit you will have left over materials that can be used on future projects, such as adhesives, stamps, ink spot, etc. Don’t throw away excess card punch outs…use them on a future project!
  10. Paper Pumpkin kits can be gifted, just purchase a prepaid code at stampinup.com and give it to someone awesome!

Have I convinced you yet? I hope so! Paper Pumpkin kits are such a great value. If you’re a new crafter, it’s also a great way to dive right in and get your feet wet since the kits come with step-by-step instructions.

It’s Friday Fun Day! Cute Basket with Handles / Sale-A-Bration Ends on Monday

It’s Friday Fun Day! Cute Basket with Handles

Happy Friday everyone!

Any day paper crafting is a fun day, but I thought we’d do something extra fun today! This cute two-handled basket can be made from one sheet of 12″ x 12″ DSP and less than one sheet of thick white cardstock, plus decorations.

Because this is a paper basket it can’t hold a lot of weight but below are a few ways you can use the basket. Depending on the DSP you select along with decorations, you could use this basket for a number of different gifting opportunities.

  • Easter Basket – fill with grass and candy or eggs
  • Gift Basket for small lotions or body sprays
  • Cupcake Carrier – this basket will hold 4 decorated cupcakes
  • Other Homemade Treats – breads, muffins or rolls
  • Gift Basket for Children – matchbox cars, crayons, markers, or small bottles of bubbles

What would you fill this basket with? Let me know in the comments below. I would love to hear your ideas!

You can click here for the project sheet for this basket. Included at the bottom of the project sheet is a link to my online store if you’d like to purchase the products used to create this basket, or you can click on the “Shop with me” button at the top right of the screen.

Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!

Hello Friend Quilted Card Project / 8 Days Remaining for Sale-A-Bration!

Hello Friend quilted card project

Today’s card project uses the Friendly Hello Stamp Set and coordinating Friendly Hello 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. These items are offered together for FREE during Sale-A-Bration with a $100 purchase from any current catalog. But don’t delay…Sale-A-Bration is ending soon! Credit goes to Wendy Cranford for the idea for today’s card.

I started off by cutting an 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ card base from Thick Basic White cardstock, scoring at 4-1/4″. A Basic White mat measuring 5-1/4″ x 4″ was cut. On this mat a pencil line was drawn from the upper left corner to the lower right corner to be used as a guideline for placing the first strip onto the mat. 3/4″ x 7″ strips were cut from the Friendly Hello DSP. Strips were then randomly placed on the mat, occasionally changing direction and ensuring that the paper ends of the strips match flush with the strip they are touching. The strips will hang over the edges of the mat which are then trimmed flush to the mat. The result is a quilted background card front! How cool is this?

To finish off the card the mat was adhered to the front of the card front. A sentiment label was die cut from third smallest rectangular dies from the Stitched So Sweetly dies in Fresh Fresia and a greeting from the Hello Friend stamp set was stamped onto the label, then popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A linen thread double bow was added to the sentiment label. A strip of coordinating DSP was used on the inside of the card as well as on the envelope flap to finish the card off.

I had fun making this card – being a quilter it reminded me of picking out fabrics for a new quilt! This card project took significantly less time than making a quilt, though (smile)! Be sure to take advantage during Sale-A-Bration to secure these free items – you won’t want to miss them!

You can view and download the project sheet for this card by clicking here. You’ll find a link to my online store at the bottom of the project sheet if you’d like to order the supplies to make this card!

Happy quilting…err, I mean happy crafting!
