We hope you find some inspiration and enjoy all our Cheerful Basket Bundle Projects!

The cooler temperatures and changing colors of the leaves here in Maryland were the inspiration for my card. A basket full of colorful leaves in the Autumn seemed the perfect way to showcase the Cheerful Basket Bundle.

To create my card I started with the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks and a Blending Brush. I brushed Cherry Cobbler Ink on a piece of Basic White Cardstock to create a patterned layer, which I then adhered to a Cherry Cobbler card base. I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to die cut the 2nd largest rectangle from Cherry Cobbler cardstock and adhered it to my cardbase.

The leaves are die cut from the Full Basket dies. I love how these dies make the impression on the leaves. I die cut the in Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Mossy Meadow and Crumb Cake cardstock.

I added them to a piece of Basic White Cardstock, cut to 2-1/2″” x 3-3/4″, with glue dots one at a time. Once I had the leaves added, I stamped the basket on some Crumb Cake cardstock in Crumb Cake Ink and die cut it and added it just below the leaves. Then I adhered this layer to my card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greeting stamp set in Cherry Cobbler. Punching it out with the Double Oval Punch and adding it to the card. I also added a few leaves at the base of the basket. Wink of Stella brushed on the leaves added the final touch. For the inside of my card, I added a few leaves brushed with a Wink of Stella as well.

Luv 2 Stamp Group Blog Hop – Halloween Treat

/ , , , , / 12 Comments

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group Blog Hop!

We hope you enjoy our Halloween Theme!

We are excited to share projects with you again this year. We hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects using Stampin’ Up! products. Once you are done with each post, scroll down to the bottom and you will see a list of Blog Hop participants, you can click on their name to go to their post, or you can click the next button to go to the next post. Happy Crafting!

The kid in me thinks of candy, candy and candy at Halloween. I remember as a kid, sleeping with my candy bag so that my favorite candy, gum, snickers, rolos and twizzlers…. wouldn’t mysteriously disappear in the night. With candy in mind, I decided to feature treat packaging for Halloween with the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies and the Pretty Pillow Box Dies.

I die cut the Mini Pocket Envelope and Pillow Box using the Metallic & Shimmer Specialty Paper. I just love how shimmery this paper is and its perfect for Halloween. I used the star stamp from the Alphabest Stamp set and Pumpkin Pie ink to decorate the inside of the envelope and box.

I used the Designer Tags Dies and Basic White cardstock to create the tags for the treats. Using the stars again, I stamped them in So Saffron on the tag, then stamped the Trick Or Treat in Pumpkin Pie ink. Before I made these tags I did a few tests on some scrap cardstock with different colors and lining up the letters. I really liked the effect of not linking up the letters and leaving some of them a little crooked.

Stampin’ Blends are great for adding color to ribbon, embellishments as well as coloring images. I used the Pie Stampin’ Blends to add color the super cute Black & White Gingham Ribbon.

August Customer Thank you Cards

/ , , , , / 20 Comments

Welcome to our Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop!

We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop for ideas and creative inspiration. Our blog hop focuses on the Thank You cards we are sending to our customers.

You may be starting here or have come from another blog – either way you can find the link list at the bottom of this post so that you can see every blog post today.

For this months Customer cards I decided to use the Splendid Day Designer Series Paper and the Beautiful Shapes Dies, to create a clean and simple card. I love how they turned out!

To create my card I cut card bases in both Soft Sea Foam and Fresh Freesia CardStock. Then I used the Beautiful Shapes Dies to die cut several hexagons from the Splendid Day Designer Series Paper. I adhered the 2 largest hexagons with multipurpose liquid glue, and the smallest hexagon with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on Basic White cardstock. I stamped several images from the Hello Beautiful Stamp set to add a bit of texture to the card, then attached the Basic White layer to the card base.

The sentiment is from the Pansy Patch stamp set, stamped in Tuxedo Black Ink, on a strip of Basic White cardstock. Then punched each side with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch and added it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds because I just couldn’t resist adding a little more sparkle to the cards.

For the inside of my card I stamped the Bee and foliage images from the Splendid Thoughts Stamp set on Basic White cardstock, then adhered it to the inside of the card.

Hello From Me to You Card Measurements:

  • Cardbase: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score at 4-1/4″
  • Basic White Layer: 4″ x 5-1/4″
  • Basic White Inside: 4′ x 5-1/4″
  • Basic White Strip for Sentiment: 1/2″ x 4″
