A Little Pick Me Up with Construction Zone

It’s that time of year and cold and flu season is starting, so I thought I’d make a get well little card. So this quick and easy fun fold card is one that I’m sharing a tutorial for with you! It uses the adorable little Construction Zone stamp set (161582) and our Regals Collection Designer Series Paper (161642).

Some quick coloring with our Stampin’ Blends and you’ve got a cheerful card to send to that special someone letting them know you are thinking of them. Want to make one too? I’ve got a tutorial for you so you can spread some cheer with your special someone who is feeling a bit under the weather.

Warmest Heart

Have you seen this fun little set, Warmest Heart (162336) in our Mini Catalog? I know I missed it, that is until I got this fall Get Well card during a swap. I’m always needing to create get well cards so I went looking.

This fun little stamp also has a coordinating die set giving you lots of options when creating.

Today’s card uses Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie to create a warm fall feel along with the plaid pattern from the Them Bones Designer Series Paper (162215). A bit of texture was added with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) some sponging and a simple technique of dragging your finger nail, Paper Snips, or even your Bone Folder across the edges of your card stock to create a frayed look. And if you don’t recognize it the big sending hugs sentiment is from our Layering Leaves stamp set (161277), don’t you love the way our products coordinate together?

Enjoy and then why not stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some cards from the Curved Occasions stamp set from our Mini.

Construction Zone #BackStage Swap Tutorial

Wow, I’m back from Vegas and another fantastic Stampin’ Up! event and sort of have my computer working, so I thought I’d share with you one of the cards that I made for my #BackStage swap in Las Vegas.

I really love the way they turned out and couldn’t pick a favorite color so I made several. I got a good response from my fellow swappers with this Annual Catalog stamp set which was nice too.

I couldn’t resist using the Construction Zone stamp set (161582) that was one of my first must haves but haven’t had time to play with. So since my computer was driving me nuts, I decided it was a great time to chill and create with this fun little set. And I had a blast so I’ll be sharing more tutorials with you soon.

Cute right? and it has some great all occasion sentiments. While my son is now in his 30s I can remember his love of his little tonka trucks and construction equipment. So I know that the cards I create with this set will bring a smile to his face, after all I think it is a great set for our guys all ages.

I chose Crushed Curry from the Regals Collection Designer Series Paper (161642) for my original design that I will share with you today for my tutorial, but as you can see fork lifts come in all colors so the Brights Collection works well too!

Want to see how I made this so you can make some too? Check out my Video tutorial below along with my PDF with measurements, supply list and step by step directions.

Back on Your Feet Fun

Yesterday, I shared with you some of the cards that my team created for the shoe box swap at our Team Retreat – today I’ll be sharing mine along with the video tutorial so you can make some too if you’d like.

The Back on Your Feet stamp set found on page 83 in our 2019 Annual Catalog contains such cute images I couldn’t resist it, after all it seems like I’ve been need of get well cards lately.

And the little turtle image brought back childhood memories – Did you have a pet turtle growing up? I know I had the whole set up plastic dish with the island and palm tree you could place in the center – my little guy was always getting out. Sigh…. what simple pleasures.

Any how here is my card.

I just love the NEW Pigment Sprinkles in our exclusive Stampin’ Up! Colors!!! I knew as soon as I saw them I wanted to play with them at the team retreat while I had some dedicated crafting time – and they don’t disappoint with their bright bold colors!

Here is my video tutorial so you can see how I created this card.

Hip Notes Get Well

Recently my nephew broke his leg and I want to send him a card that will bring a smile to his face. It seems like he just can’t catch a break, (no pun intended). Newly married and with a baby on the way, being out of work for 3 months it tough.

So this weekend the first card I created was one for Kevin.

Hip Notes Get Well

I wasn’t sure where to start and I was thinking about a cast, but then I ran across the Hip Notes stamp set (133501/133504) from the Occasions Catalog on page 18. For some reason this sentiment just made me chuckle when I saw it, and I knew the kid would get the sense of humor of the sentiment. Of course the pattern from the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper (FREE Sale-a-bration item) reminded me of a hospital gown somehow. See it? Well maybe it was the late night and wine?

Anyhow so what do you think of the card? Think it will bring a smile to his face? Why not leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Hip Notes (133501/133504)

Inks: Jet Black StazOn (101406), Summer Starfruit (126991), and Blushing Bride (131172)

Paper: Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration item 133521), Blushing Bride (131198), Summer Starfruit (126839), Basic Black (121045), and Whisper White (100730)

Accessories: Decorative Dots Embossing Folder (Sale-a-bration item 133520), 3/16″ Corner Rounder (119871), Artisan Label Punch (130920), 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch (127811), and Summer Starfruit 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (126846)

Bordering on Romance

Recently I needed a get well card and here is what I came up with. I used the Bordering on Romance Stamp Set to create the focal point for my card.  This is a great set since you can do so many different things with the images. And did you notice that the doily wasn’t white and were wondering how I added the color to it? I’ve got a how to video you can see here.

Bordering on Romance Get Well Card

Have you ever water colored with our Stampin’ Write Markers? I really love our Stampin’ Write Markers and use them for a lot of my projects.  It’s one of my favorite ways to use them and now that our Watercolor Paper comes in larger sheets it a lot easier to use them for any of our images.

I hope this card brought a smile to her face when she opened it.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Bordering on Romance (item125480/125482), Occasions Alphabet (item 117090/123598)

Inks: StazOn Jet Black

Paper: Watercolor Paper and Rich Razzleberry

Accessories: Paper Doilies, Aqua Painter, Big Shot and Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder, Stampin’ Write Markers and Two-Tone Ribbon
