Quick Gift Tags with the Very Best Trio Punch

/ , , , / Leave a Comment

I love to make handmade gift tags as well as handmade cards! Although I never seem to make enough of them and this time of year I usually need to make more. These are some of my favorite tags I’ve made. The Very Best Trio Punch and Lights Aglow Specialty DSP with the gold foil accents made these pretty tags come together quickly.

Even thought the Lights Aglow DSP is no longer available(sorry I didn’t get these posted before it sold out) you can make these tags with any DSP for any occasion.

I started by cutting some Basic White Cardstock to 3″x3″ and punching the corners then the tag for the ribbon with the Very Best Trio Punch. Using the Christmas Lights stamp set I stamped the stars across the bottom of the tags in Cherry Cobbler and Evening Evergreen ink.

Next, I cut the Lights Aglow DSP and punched the corners and tags. Using the Stylish shapes Dies I die cut some stitched squares and circles. Then, I stamped the sentiments in Cherry Cobbler and Evening Evergreen Ink from the Brightest Glow & Framed & Festive stamp sets.

To finish the tags I added some White Glittered Organdy Ribbon and Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon.

I hope you enjoyed my gift tags. You can purchase the stamp sets, punch, cardstock and ink along with other supplies to create your own tags in my online store.

Happy Stamping!!

Colorful Merry with the Alphabest Bundle

/ , , , / Leave a Comment

How cute is this brightly colored card? It was very quick and easy to make, and if you’ve been following me for any length of time you know I love a quick and simple card and bling. This card is no exception. The Celebrate Everything DSP has patterns for any occasion and this one is my favorite with all the bright colors! The Granny Apple Green card base is a perfect to match.

To create the label, I used the Deckled Rectangle Dies to die cut Sweet Sorbet and Basic White cardstock and adhered them together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The Alphabest Bundle was the perfect choice to add merry in the same bright colors in the Celebrate Everything DSP. I punched them out with the Best Label punch and adhered them to the Basic White rectangle with Stampin’ Dimensionals. These layers were adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Inside I added a small piece of the Celebrate everything DSP the Basic White cardstock. As the final touch, I colored a few Opal Rounds with the Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends and added them to the front of the card.

Alphabest Merry Card Measurements:

  • Granny Apple Green Card Base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score in half at 4-1/4″
  • Celebrate Everything DSP Layer: 3-7/8″ x 5-1/2″
  • Basic White Cardstock Inside Card: 4″ x 5-1/4″
  • Celebrate Everything Inside Card: 1/2″ x 4″

I’d love to be your Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator. All the Stampin’ Up! supplies used to make my card are available in my online store. Simply click any of the product photos below!

Demonstrator Training Blog Hop-Fitting Florets

/ , , , , / 15 Comments

Welcome to our Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop!

We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop of ideas and creative inspiration we have to share with you. We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world that are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin’ Up!® business and reach some goals we have set. We really appreciate your support!

Today we are featuring the new Fitting Florets Suite!! As part of this beautiful suite, the Framed Florets bundle is an early release from the coming soon Jan-June 2023 Mini Catalog. Stampin’ Up! has also released several exclusive products in this suite that are available while supplies last, Gold Adhesive Backed Swirls, Fitting Florets DSP and just in time for Christmas the Framed & Festive Stamp set! Click here to shop the Fitting Florets Suite.

I chose to do a Book Binding Fun Fold for my card. It’s an easy way to add a fun fold element to a standard size card.

To create this card, start with a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Basic White Thick cardstock. Score the cardstock, on the 11″ side, at 4-1/2″ and 5-1/2″ inches. This will create a 1 inch “book binding” section on the card. Fold the card in half on the 5-1/2″ score line.

Inside the card add a bit of glue between the two score lines to adhere this section of the card close. Once the book binding section is secure, the card front will open at the point of the second score line.

Next, I cut 2 pieces of Fitting Florets DSP, 3/4″ x 4″ and 4″ x 4-1/4″and adhered them to the front of the card.

To create the label, I heat embossed the sentiment from the Framed & Festive Stamp set with Silver Embossing Powder on basic White Thick cardstock, and die cut it with the second largest frame from the Framed Florets Dies. Then die cut the largest frame with Vellum. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals I adhered the Basic White oval to the Vellum oval, then added adhered them to the card with Mini Glue Dots. I die cut a few leaves from the Framed Florets Dies with Vellum and adhered them with Mini Glue Dots under the edges of the Vellum Oval.

To complete this pretty card, Tie a bow on the book binding with some Glittered Organdy Ribbon. I also wanted to add a pop of color so I also added a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Framed Florets Merry Little Christmas Card Measurements

  • Basic White Thick Cardstock: 4-1/4″ x 11 “, score at 5-1/2″ and 4-1/2”

Easter Friends – Luv 2 Stamp Group’s Blog Hop

/ , , , / 18 Comments

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s Blog Hop!

We are excited to share projects with you again this year. We hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects. Each month we will have a different theme based on the next month’s celebrations 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 in line. Happy crafting! This month’s theme is Easter.

For this month’s Easter theme my cards feature the cute bunny in the Easter Friends Stamp Set. I decided to try something a little different using Watercolor Paper and Watercolor Painters. The grass was created using Granny Apple Green and Garden Green reinkers by brushing the color with Watercolor Painters along the bottom of the Watercolor Paper.

Then using a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue Ink pad I brushed the ink onto the watercolor paper to create the sk. Using the 2021-2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum and the Peach Dies, I added a few little flowers with Mini Glue Dots. Then layered the Watercolor cardstock on Soft Seafoam Cardstock and then on a So Saffron and Balmy Blue card base.

I stamped a couple of bunnies in Gray Granite and Smoky Slate on Basic White cardstock. I used the Light Flirty Flamingo Blends to color in the bunny nose, then fussy cut them out. I’ve added them to my card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment is stamped in Tuxedo Black on Vellum. I trimmed them down and punched the end of the strip with the Banners Pick a Punch. I put 2 Mini Glue dots on the back of the Vellum by rolling the up into tiny little strips and placing them behind the H in Happy and the S in Easter. To finish them off I added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels.

Luv 2 Stamp Group Blog Hop-January 2022

/ , , , , , / 18 Comments

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2022 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you again this year. We hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects. Each month we will have a different theme based on the next month’s celebrations 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 in line. Happy crafting! This month’s theme is Love.

This month, my cards were created with Valentine’s Day in mind. I decided to use the Celebrate You stamp set and the Sweet Talk DSP, both are available in the Jan-June 2022 Mini Catalog.

Before creating my card, I wanted to make some colorful hearts. So, using Blending Brushes, I brushed the same colors of ink that are in the Sweet Talk DSP on a piece of Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used the smaller heart from the Heart Punch Pack to punch out the hearts. I love the soft colors (the Subtles color family is my favorite) and I have lots of extras to use on more cards or other projects.

My Basic White Cardbase is cut to 4-1/4″x11″. I cut a piece of Sweet Talk DSP at an angle to add the bottom of my card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Then added a few pieces of Tear & Tape along the edge of the DSP to add a piece of Real Red Faux Linen Ribbon. I wanted to be sure to leave some white space between the ribbon and DSP.

I used my Stamp-a-majig to add the sentiment along the edge of the ribbon. You could also use the Stamparatus to line up the sentiment before stamping.

I punched the scalloped hearts from the Heart Punch Pack to layer behind the hearts I created earlier. I added the hearts to my card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. As much as I LOVE to add bling to a card, I decided to add just a subtle touch with a Wink of Stella, I brushed it lightly on the tiny hearts on the DSP. I tired get a good picture of the shimmer but that was not to be. Anyway, I wanted the bling to be subtle so these could be given as masculine Valentine’s cards. However, you could dress them up with some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Polished Dots or even the From My Heart Faceted Gems.
