I scored some really cute pencils from Michael’s Craft Stores for my biggest kiddo to give out to his classmates this Valentine’s Day. Being me, I could not just throw them into a little baggy. It’s paper or it’s nothing – haha. I used the Most Adored Designer Series Paper to make a quick holder…
Let’s start the week off with another sketch. Here’s on that has some floral elements. I know I certainly have a lot of stamps, punches, and dies that are flowery and sprig-y. Is that a word? It is now. Here a sample I made based on the sketch: Bright and fun! What colors would you…
Here’s a nice little sketch for you today. I posted this on my social media feeds last week and then realized that I hadn’t sent it out to the blog-o-verse. The card front has a large panel (your choice – plain cardstock, patterned paper, embossed….). The center strip is sandwiched between two edged pieces of…
This card has a little bit of everything – masking, blending, die cutting . . .but it really is a simple one to make. I used the new Perennial Lavender Suite Collection – which unfortunately cannot be ordered in its entirety. It was so popular that certain products sold out. But you can still get…
One of the new products that I was excited about in the new Mini January to April catalog from Stampin’ Up! was the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder: You can see that it has ten different sentiment cut outs and bunch of little fun shapes that can add some interest to your cards. I used…
Here is another card today from my Sale-A-Bration Stamp Camp. I used a few products on this one. One was the Sale-A-Bration Softly Sophisticated set (free with $100 purchase): I also used the Everyday Detailed Dies: And, of course, what card would be complete without some Designer Series Paper? I used the Perennial Lavender DSP…
I used the Adoring Hearts Stamp set (and some heat embossing) on this card. I love the silver shine that the heat embossing adds. I think the shining star of this card (though it’s subtle) is that dry embossed background. I used the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder on a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of…
I know, I know – Enough with the bees! Well, I say, never!! Last one (maybe) for a bit, I promise. Here’s a card we made at my Sale-A-Bration Stamp Camp. I let some of that pretty Bee Mine Designer Series Paper pop through cut outs I made with the Countryside Corners Dies (from the…
The Bee Mine Suite Collection comes with a quick to put together pillow box (that fits lot of treats!): It’s white and the possibilities are endless. You can use your blending brushes to add some color. You can stamp on them. I chose to cover them in Designer Series Paper. To get the pieces to…
Bzzzzzz……these bees are adorable!!!! Here’s another card I made using products from the Bee Mine Suite Collection from Stampin’ Up! Here are the measurements – I stamped the honey comb image in Versamark on the large Daffodil Delight panel. I then covered the images in clear embossing powder and set with my Heat Tool. Keep…
