Mini Catalog

March Customer Thank You Cards

/ Leave a Comment

This month my Customer Thank You Cards are inspired by the Annual Catalog. If you are ever looking for inspiration the Annual Catalog is a great place to start, it’s a treasure trove of amazing creations. I took the inspiration from page 68, the Simply Elegant Suite card. I love the elements in this card, it showcases Designer Series Paper and stamping directly on to the cardstock card base.

To make my card I started with stamping the beautiful swirl from the Sentimental Swirl stamp set on the left side of the cardbase. I love stamping tone on tone, it really makes the already pretty colors so much richer. I also stamped some of the swirls on the inside of my cards.

Next, I cut strips of the Abstract Beauty DSP and Gold Foil paper. I adhered the DSP to the Gold Foil Strip, then using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, added them to the right side of the card base.

I stamped the sentiment from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Magenta Madness on the label. Before adding the label to my card, I adhered a gold foil element from the Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack to the back of the lable with some Stampin’ Seal. I cut a piece of Foam Adhesive sheet which I added to the back of the label over the Gold Foil element. Doing this keeps the Gold Foil element lifted off the card but firmly in place on the back of the label.

I wanted to use all the 2020-2022 In Colors and the Abstract Beauty DSP was perfect to pair with these pretty colors. Once I started taking photos of my cards, I had some inspiration to add just a touch of bling, I brushed a little Wink of Stella on the swirls. I love the look, but it was hard to photograph.

Just Thinking of You Today Card Measurements:

  • Cardbase: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score in half at 4-1/4″
  • Abstract Beauty DSP: 1-1/2″ x 5-1/2″
  • Gold Foil: 3/4″ x 5-1/2″

Special Moments – Last Day of Sale-A-Bration

/ Leave a Comment

Sale-A-Bration is coming to an end, today is the last day. Don’t miss out on on the free gifts from Stampin’ Up! with a purchase.

My slim line cards today are inspired by Patty Bennett. She shared a cute ladybug card with this same layout, which is perfect to showcase Designer Series Paper. I wanted to share one last card for Sale-A-bration with the Simply Marbleous DSP and Special Moments Stamp set, both available during Sale-A-Bration.

When I am making several cards at one time, I like to prep all my elements first and put them together in an assembly line fashion. I cut the card stock and Simply Marbleous DSP, then adhered the DSP and Basic White cardstock with Multipurpose Glue to the larger card stock layers.

The daisies were punched in Basic White and matching color card stock. Using a bone folder I gently curled the white petals up, and the color petals down. I love the different direction of the petals and it made lining up the flowers easy when I adhered them together with Mini Glue Dots.

Next, I colored some White Glittered Organdy Ribbon with Stampin’ Write Markers to match the DSP for each card. Then created knots for each card. I adhered a strip of the ribbon to the card then using a smaller piece of ribbon tied a knot.

I adhered the daisies with Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a few of my favorite embellishments, Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels. They are the perfect bling to add to any project.

No Matter the Weather Kit

/ Leave a Comment

I’ve been crafting with Kits Collection kits this week. These All-inclusive kits come with everything you need to sit down and start creating immediately. There are many kits to choose from for many different occasions and styles. I love that you can put the Kits together just as they are or you can add other Stampin’ Up!® products to make them even more versatile.

My projects today were created with the No Matter the Weather Kit and Flowering Rain Boots Bundle. Confession time – I have had this kit for some time. I made one card to use as soon as I received it, then set it aside. I’m kind of glad I did because I had lots of fun incorporating the Flowering Rain Boots bundle with the kit.

I started with punching out all the pieces of the No Matter the Weather kit and stamping & die cutting images from the Flowering Rain Boots bundle. As I was creating the cards I add in a few other great products to give them my own special touch. I used the Messages die for a few of the sentiments, the Cloud punch and from Sale-A-Bration the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP.

For these cards I snipped the boots images that was included in the kit so that I could add in the pretty flowers.

The next few cards i created similarly to the cards as they are in the kit. I changed the label or stamped the sentiment directly onto the card.

The next few cards feature the Flowering Rain Boots Bundle as the main element while still using some of the kit elements.

I hope you enjoyed my cards and are inspired to create with the Kits Collection. All the Stampin’ Up! supplies used to make my card are available in my online store. Simply click any of the product photos below!

Blessings of Home Cards to Color

/ Leave a Comment

Love to color? This set of cards to color is just what you need. I find coloring is relaxing and helps me unwind, these are going to be fun to color. The inspiration for my project came from Chris Ann Tomasso, I absolutely loved her set of cards that she created. The pretty floral images are stamped with the Blessings of Home and Hand Penned Petals stamp sets. I love how well they go together.

To create the Image on the front of the box and each of the cards inside, I die cut the largest scalloped rectangle with the Scallop Contour Dies on Basic White card stock. The pretty flower images are stamped in Memento ink and Stampin’ Blends to color the card for the front of the box. I stamped 2 of each of the flower images for the cards inside.

Now, lets decorate the box. I added a piece of Heart & Home DSP to a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ Acetate Card box. Leaving the box flat I put a piece of Tear & Tape along the edge of the DSP to adhere to the box and wrapped it around, finishing with Tear & Tape on the other edge.

I added a some Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon with Tear & Tape. To adhere the card front to the box I cut a few strips of a Foam Adhesive Sheet to give the card some stability when I attached it.

To finish the box, I tied a bow and attached it off to the side of the card with a Mini Glue Dot. Then added a few of my favorite Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels. I love how they catch the light and shimmer.

I hope this inspires you to create some cards to color as well. All the Stampin’ Up! supplies used to make my project are available in my online store. Simply click any of the product photos below!

I Enjoy Every Chapter of Our Friendship

/ Leave a Comment

The book & tea lover in me immediately added the Every Chapter Cling Stamp to my Jan-June 2022 Mini Catalog must have shopping list. There are so many possibilities for coloring in this great stamp. I chose to color the image for this card with Watercolor Pencils.

I wanted my card to have lots of bright color so I picked this pretty heart pattern from the Pattern Party DSP that is available as a host reward in the Annual Catalog. I love how it looks on the Granny Apple Green card base.

I wanted to add some dimension to the book images when adding them to my card so I snipped them apart after I colored them.

To add the book pieces to my card, I put Stampin’ Dimensionals on the end of the images with the pages, and a Mini Glue Dot on the other end. This allowed them to be a bit popped up on my card front as if they were actually stacked at an angle. I used Mini Glue Dots to adhere the cup and glasses to top of the stack. I brushed the glasses with a Wink of Stella to give them a shimmery look.
