Annual Catalog

Quick Fun Note Cards

/ Leave a Comment

Did you do any crafting on World Card Making Day or join Stampin’ Up!’s World Card Making Day earlier this month? I attended Stampin’ Up!’s event. It was so much fun to create some colorful quick note cards using the Mix & Match Ephemera Packs.

If you missed Stampin’ Up!’s Word Card Making Day event you can watch the replay below!

Below are the cards I made after watching Stampin’ Up!’s event.

WCMD Cards, Something for Everything, Saying Something, Mix & Match Ephemera Packs, Note Cards & Envelopes

These 2 cards are inspired by a few of the cards Sara made with the Something for Everything and Saying Something Mix and Match Ephemera Packs. I opted to create mine with the Note Cards and Envelopes rather than the Calming Creek Mix & Match Cards and Envelopes. I think they turned out nicely with the white card base.

Something for Everything, Saying Something, Fully Flowering, Mix and Match Ephemera Packs, Note Cards & Envelopes

These 5 cards are inspired by the cards created by Vanessa, one of the product creators at Stampin’ Up!. These are created with the Something for Everything, Saying Something and Fully Flowering Mix and Match Ephemera Packs. I also used the Keeping Tabs, Unbounded Love, and Friends for Life Stamp Sets.

Mix and Match Ephemera, Note Cards, Something for Everything, Saying Something, Fully Flowering, Layers and Labels

I had so much fun creating with the Ephemera packs that I made a few more. These 4 cards are inspired by a few samples in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. I used all 4 of the Mix & Match Ephemera Packs, Something for Everything, Saying Something, Fully Flowering and Labels and Layers along with a stamp from the Unbounded Love Stamp set.

Creating colorful cards is so quick and easy with the Mix & Match Ephemera Packs on their own or with stamps or with any other products you choose. Have you tried the Ephemera Packs yet?

Coloring with Wink of Stella and Adorning Hearts

/ Leave a Comment

My card today was inspired by a color challenge that I participated in a number of weeks ago. Here are the inspiring colors I used…

I love how these colors look together, I think that I will be using them more often in the future. I hope you find inspiration from them as well. For the card base I stamped the floral image on Petunia Pop Cardstock with Petunia Pop ink.

The heart was created with the Adoring Hearts photopolymer stamp set. I stamped it in Memento ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then using Wink of Stella I dipped the brush tip in Misty Moonlight to color the leaves, and did the same with Bubble Bath and Petunia Pop, then fussy cut it. Using Wink of Stella gives the prettiest shimmer to the heart.

I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love in Misty Moonlight on Basic White cardstock. Then I brushed Bubble Bath ink above the sentiment and added the heart with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped Just For You in Misty Moonlight and die cut the banner to add to the heart. I added this to a Misty Moonlight and Bubble Bath layers then added them to the card base.

Finding Inspiration Through Sketches

/ Leave a Comment

I love to use sketches for inspiration, they are a fantastic way to kickstart the creative process. Sketches provide a blueprint that sparks ideas and guides the design of a project. I like to save sketches to my Pinterest Board to use for inspiration. If you’d like to check out my Pinterest board for more inspiration, click Here.

Today, I’m excited to share two cards I created using a sketch as my inspiration. Below is the simple sketch that inspired these designs.

For my first card, I chose to work with the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper. This 6×6 Designer Series Paper collection is full of vibrant colors and lively patterns. I selected the star patterns for the primary design element. To add a unique twist, I switched the top two panels of the Designer Series Paper from the sketch. Paired with Lemon Lolly card base and Azure Afternoon cardstock Layer really makes the colors in the Designer Series Paper pop!

I created the sentiment using the Heartfelt Hexagon and Irresistible Blooms stamp sets. First, I stamped the border in Azure Afternoon, next the Thank You in Berry Burst Ink. Then I punched it out with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. For the finishing touch, I added the new Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots.

The second card uses some of my favorite Online Exclusives: A Little Latte Suite Collection. The A Little Latte Designer Series Paper offers a variety of patterns that coordinate beautifully.

I followed the sketch closely for this card, which showcases the wonderful synergy of the patterns in the Designer Series Paper, including the die cut coffee cup! The fun coordinating Adhesive Backed Swirl Dots add a perfect finishing touch.

I hope these cards inspire you to create your own designs using sketches. They are a versatile tool that can bring fresh ideas and new perspectives to your creative projects.

Sketch Measurements:

Card base: 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
Card stock Layer: 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″

      Featuring Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper

      / Leave a Comment

      Several weeks ago the Luv 2 Stamp Group was very blessed to have Kylie & Bruno Bertucci share with us #loveitchopit! The guiding principal behind #loveitchopit is to chop up your Designer Series Paper and use it. I must admit I’m guilty of hording Designer Series Paper because I love the patterns and I want to save them. After their presentation I jumped right in chopping paper and using it! The focus of these cards is of course being the Designer Series Paper. Today I’m sharing a few of the cards I made with the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper.

      I love the wide variety of colors of this paper. They are:

      These are very simple cards that showcase the amazing paper. I used Something Fancy Dies with the Irresistible Blooms stamp set, and finished them with the Iridescent Pastel Gems. In keeping with the theme of #loveitchopit I also used DSP in the inside of each of my cards.
