Yesterday I shared a card that we made during an OnStage@Home event. So today I thought I’d share the other card we made with a quick little water color technique.
I loved punches when I first started to stamp they always made me feel successful since I didn’t have to stamp the entire card without any mistakes. How about you? Do you love them too? While I eventually build my collection to include dies and the machine I still love the ease and portability of a punch!
Here is a quick video for you showing how we made this card and of course a PDF too.
Today’s card is one that I’ve been wanting to share with you for a while, but it’s been kind of crazy around here with the weather and family so it got delayed. But you’re in luck berceuse I’ll be sharing more tutorials with this Suite. Today’s card was one of our Make n Takes during our November OnStage@Home events and now you can make one too!
Not only is this card quick and easy it’s totally cute with this little bee. And the punch makes it super easy to create a bunch of these.
Here is a quick video sharing how we made this card during the event. Along with a PDF that has a supply list, step by step instructions and measurements too.
Like it? I’ve got several more tutorials for you that I’ve been working on too! So don’t forget to stop back and see them all.

Today’s card features another Bundle that includes a punch, the Submarine Life Bundle (162774). I don’t know about you but when I began stamping I LOVED punches, they were quick and easy to use and made me my stamping successful without a lot of experience.
The Submarine Life stamp set (162542) is filled with cute little images that you can use to create all kinds of ocean themed projects and how could you not love that little crab wearing his snorkel?
How do you make a faux shaker card like this? First you’ll want to cut your stamped panel to fit inside the Clear Envelope add the shaker circles and sequins and then adhere down the envelope on the back of the stamped panel. Yep it’s that easy!
Warning shaker cards are a lot of fun and can become a bit addictive! And of course you’ll want to decorate your envelope with these cute little guys too, after all no one likes a naked envelope 🙂

This all occasions set has a variety of sentiments that can be used year round. This first card uses the love sentiment to create a lovely Valentine’s Card
and the Sunny Days Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 162974) that you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-bration. With it’s Old Olive backdrop rather than the traditional Real Red it is a card you can use year round to send a bit of love to someone special.
And this next card is great for a birthday stamped in our rich Pretty Peacock Classic Ink it’s great for anyone.
Do you like to have a calendar on hand, or like to create little decor items? If so this fun little Acrylic Desk Calendar might be just want you’d like. I created this little decor item for my Team Shoe Box Swap last month and it got buried under some other projects so I didn’t get to share it with you earlier. But good news, here it is today.
I just fell in love with the Meandering Meadow Designer Series Paper that is part of our Online Exclusive selection as it is filled with wonderful landscapes and rich color. This paper was painted by one of our Stampin’ Up! Artisans on small canvases and then made in to designer series paper. So you’ll have wonderful little work of arts when you get this paper!
I found the Acrylic frame at my local dollar store and so couldn’t wait to create with it. Want to see how I made it, so you can make one too?
And if you love the project you may just want to get the stamp set too. It’s part of our carry over list and can be found in my Online Store. I just love the font used in this set that I used for this project and think it’s a great set for those cards we need to make too as it covers all kinds of occasions.
Enjoy! Stay dry and keep warm, it’s going to a crazy kind of weather weekend.
Do you like cute images and punches? I know I do and I was quickly drawn to the Bee Mine Suite Collection (162560) because of that. Punches always make treats and cards quick and easy, and are great for the newer stamper too.
The Bee Mine Designer Series Paper (162546) is filled with fun designs and cute little bees too. Check out this lovely card using small bits of the Designer Series Paper to create a fun cheerful background.
Bright and cheerful, right? Who wouldn’t smile when they received this card? And how about this next card also highlighting the fun paper, but this time with Deckled Circles (162286).
And here are two more cards using this Bundle. These cards adds wings in Vellum Card stock and texture to the back ground using an Embossing Folder with a bit of White Craft Ink to highlight it.

Today’s cards all use the stamp set to create lovely card for celebrating your loved ones. This first card uses non traditional Valentine colors and fun gate fold card to create a lovely soft feel. The heart shape floral wreath has been stamped in Pool Party Classic Ink with the sentiment stamped over top.
The Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper (161157) sets the color pallet for the project. And the Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon (161171) adds a bit of texture. For a more traditional look this next card uses our Real Red and Flirty Flamingo. While it uses the same heart shape wreath it has a very different feel to it. Don’t you love how a simple change in color does that?

Today I’m going to share projects using one of our Sale-a-bration’s Stamp Sets with you. The Detailed Dogwood stamp set (Sale-a-bration 162953) is one of our Level Two options and it’s got some great images that you can team up with your favorite sentiment set.
This first card uses simple stamping to create a lovely card.
This final card uses a quick and simple torn edge technique to create a wonderful card that has tons of texture.
First the panels have been stamped, then the edge has been torn and they have been layered one on top of the other right to left to create the card front. The Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (162189) has been used for the first Lost Lagoon layer, then Pool Party, and a piece of the Designer Series Paper, Softly Stippled (Sale-a-bration 162975) and finally a stamped layer of Calypso Coral. The sentiment has been popped up and uses the quick and easy Double Oval Punch (154242) which makes sentiments like this quick and easy to do!

You’ll notice I’ve added some information to the back for you also to help you locate the coordinating product, catalog and more.
Love my organizational idea? What now? Simply print the PDF onto Basic White Card stock (159276) and trim on lines. Then insert into one of our Standard Stamp Cases (119105). And add a magnetic sheet (I use vent covers I find at the hardware store) to the inside using our Tear & Tape (138995). Got a big set? Add the sheet to the front and back covers to hold more! Yes it’s that easy.
And for a complete Designer Series Paper card stock color reference check out my Designer Series Paper chart – a quick and easy reference for your ordering and crafting needs. This chart has been designed using the colors on the back of the Designer Series Paper package.
