Garden Wishes

Posted on by

Spring is in the air, the sun is out, are the buds are beginning to pop. As I drove into town earlier this week it was hard to miss all the Bradford Pears dotting the landscape and the sunny little daffodils too. So that got me thinking about the Dandy Garden Suite of products form the Mini Catalog. I just love this grouping of products and it makes me think of things to come.

And this set has got some wondering sentiments in it too. Check out these lovely cards using the Garden Wishes Bundle (156220). This first card is done in Blackberry Bliss and uses one of the images from the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper (154297) that can be cut out with the coordinating Dandy Wishes Dies (154315)

Rich and full of texture the card uses the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (149638) along with the Subtles Texture 3D Embossing Folder (151775).

And this next card combines the warm Bumblebee and Mossy Meadow color palet.

The sentiment has been stamped and then punched out with the Classic Label Punch (141491).

And this last card uses a fun fold to create this screen card that stands up.

The card is monochromatic and uses the lovely In Color, Misty Moonlight. And check out the cute little Ladybug Trinket (154299).

So what do you think? Does this bundle make you think of the warm weather right around the corner like it does for me? Why not leave me a comment and let me know which is your favorite card?

Soft and subtle – this next card uses our Petal Pink to create this soft feminine card.

Posted on by

I just love anything ocean themed so this Suite of Products was a must for me with its lovely coordinating products that can be used in all kinds of ways. I know you’ll want all of these fun products just like I did and you can get them either in the Suite Collection or purchase them separately making them a great choice. It’s why I chose it for my April Class there are just so many ways to use this suite of products!

Check out these lovely cards created with the products found in the Sand & Sea Suite Collection (155980).

The Flirty Flamingo background for this card creates a fun cheerful backdrop for the images and sentiment that has been stamped onto the Pearlescent Specialty Paper.

And you’re going to LOVE the 3D Embossing Folder this Suite has in it. A bit of color has been added to make the embossed images pop and create even more interest behind the sentiment and images.

This next card uses simple stamping to bring the sea to life. Done in Night of Navy and Crumb Cake with a pop of Flirty Flamingo.

The Well Suited Twine (154566) add a bit of texture to the background along with the pretty Opal Rounds (154289).

And how about this next card using heat embossing to make an impact.

The stamping and embossing is done on White Vellum then overlaid onto a piece of the Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper to add some texture Linen Twine was added underneath the popped up sentiment.

For a soft shimmer this last card uses the Pearlescent Specialty Paper that has been embossed with the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder. The pearlescent layer has been layered with Highland Heather and Sahara Sand.

Gold Embossing Powder was used for the sentiment panel and the gold cord is from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (152475) along with the metallic Pearls (146282). Isn’t it great the way our products work together?

Team Time Fun

Posted on by

Today’s projects were all created by my team for our last swap. So today I thought I’d share them with you.

This first card uses a Arrow Flap Gate Fold and the Hey Girlfriend stamp set (154516).

The Flower & Field Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 155223) and Best Year stamp set (152568) were used to create interest for the back drop of this cute little image.

And this next card uses the Friendly Flamingo (154386) stamp set and Flamingo Dies (154313) for this tropical themed birthday card.

This little flamingo is so cute and with just a bit of sponging makes an impact. And if you like both did you know you can save 10% when you purchase the Bundle (156212)?

Of course everyone loves a gift box, this next project is a 3d Chocolate bar holder using the Love You Always Specialty Designer Series Paper (154280).

And here is another 3d project using the Heartfelt stamp set (151417) for the little sentiment that wraps around the rose bud. Wanda shared with us how she made them for the Caring with Cards program for our local elementary school this month. I think the staff are really going to enjoy this little treat!

And finally a lovely Valentine, change out the sentiment and it would make a lovely anniversary or wedding card too.

This card uses the Meant to Be stamp set (148626) and Mine Be Stitched Dies (151814) to create this soft sweet card filled with love.

Posted on by

Sale-a-bration ends Sunday, February 28th, that just 2 days! So why not check out these projects using some of the free Sale-a-bration goodies before they are gone?

This first card uses one of my favorite stamp sets, Darling Donkeys (Sale-a-bration 155264). These adorable little faces are too hard to resist.

This card teams up this sweet face with the For Every Season Designer Series Paper (152486) and Ornate Layers Dies (152726) for a bright cheerful spring card.

And how about this next card using the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper that is part of the Berry Blessing Bundle (Sale-a-bration 157613) found in the Sale-a-bration line up.

I love the fact that it coordinates with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle (154394) found in our Mini Catalog. Making it a sweet choice. And how about that adorable Ladybug Trinket (154299)? Coordination one of the great things about Stampin’ Up!

And these next two cards use another favorite, the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 155223) for two completely different looks.

This first card is bright and cheerful card teams up the Dragonfly Garden Bundle (156224) with the Dandy Wishes Die (154315) cut images and Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (154317).

While this next card uses the Oh Snap (154486) stamp set and Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder (150646).

The dry embossing not only adds texture but give a cool reptile look to the card.

And finally I think this is my favorite Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper, Oh So Ombre (Sale-a-bration 155225) since it is a stack filled with 4 colors in each pattern it is great for multiple projects like I shared with you yesterday.

This card was stamped with the Back to Back Blooms (152597) stamp set found on page 63 of the Mini Catalog. It’s a Reversibles stamp set giving you a ton of choices since when you reverse the stamp on your block you have a second stamping option. Cool right.

This monochromatic card uses the simple outline images to create a soft and lovely card for someone’s birthday. The vellum and Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon (146912) adds that soft look. Do you recognize the sentiment? It’s from the Happy Thoughts stamp set (154507).

Whew! Lots of great Sale-a-bration products to choose from. Get yours before they are gone for good. Sale-a-bration ends on Sunday at 11:50 pm (MT).
