Ready to Ride

It’s a beautiful winter day here in North Georgia and that brings out the bikes. Crazy enough we are suppose to be in the mid 70’s today and so for the last several days I’ve been seeing the bikes riding by my office window. I’m lucky enough to live on a rural road that has some great views that winds through the country so it’s a fun spot to ride from what I understand.

This bundle is part of the Ready to Ride Suite (160768) and includes some great options for our masculine card making and bike riding friends, since it’s great for ladies too!

So today I thought I’d share the some cards made with the Legendary Ride Bundle (160763). Check out this fun fold thank you card that stands on it’s own.

or this birthday card.

These cards are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black (132708/133456) and add a fun pop of color with the dies. And great news these dies work with our Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss making it a great way to begin your crafting journey. The fun “ticket to ride” sentiment piece has been punched out with our Happy Labels Pick a Punch (160693). And to add a bit of chrome the Silver Foil Specialty Pack (156457) was used to enhance the fun shine already on the Ready to Ride Specialty Designer Series Paper (160752).

Pretty cool, right? If you have someone in your life that has a passion for bikes why not stop by my online Store and Check it out? When you purchase this Suite not only will you get a great group of products to craft with you’ll also earn a FREE Sale-a-bration item too during February. But you’ll want to hurry because there are just 6 days left for Sale-a-bration.

Send a Warm Welcome to someone you love

Today’s card tutorial is one that I did for my OnStage After Party, which is a team event and forgot to share it with you earlier, but it got buried on my desk while I recouped from my Surgery. The idea comes straight from the pages of our Mini Catalog. Do you ever use the catalog projects to stamp? I love the ideas contained in their pages to inspire me or case. Anyways, so today I’ve got this fun card for you that spreads a little hello to someone you love.

I really like the quick and easy technique created with our Stampin’ Blends on the heart. I’ve also added a bit of texture behind the vellum with the Dots & Spots Die for a tone on tone background.

Check out my video tutorial and PDF with a complete supply list so you can make your own Warm Welcome card.

And since it is part of a Suite it has a bunch of coordinating products making crafting super simple too. And since you can use the coordinating Playing in the Rain Dies (160550) to cut images from the Rain or Shine Specialty Designer Paper (160540). Check out these cute cards that use this fun Suite. This first card uses the Raindrops Embossing Folder (160551) to create a fun Pacific Point back drop.

Oh and did I mention the Designer Series Paper has a fun UV Coating on some of the images to make them shine? So much fun! This little guy’s coat and umbrella have the coating and the Stylish Shape Dies (159183) were used to cut him out. These next card uses simple stamping and coloring with our Stampin’ Blends to create a fun card.

Team Valentine fun

Since tomorrow is Valentine’s Day I thought today I’d share projects from my Team Meeting this last week. Each month as a group we gather, stamp together, and share what we’ve been doing since the last time we got together. I always love to see what everyone has been stamping and each month there is a theme to inspire them for this swapping time.

This first fun fold card was created as a no stamp project. Instead it uses our Heart Punch Pack (151292) and Country Lane Floral Designer Series Paper (160375).

It also uses the Opaque Adhesive Backed Gems (160412) and fun White Glittered 3/8″ Organdy Ribbon (156408).

Fun right? And how about a little box using the same products?

This box was created using my video tutorial HERE. It’s such a quick and easy box to create you can whip up a punch of them in no time and it holds quite a bit too! Next is a fun spinner card using the Easter Bunny Bundle (160606) for a non traditional use of the set along with the same punch and paper.

Did you know that at times items like the Easter Bunny Punch (160331) can go onto Back Order? With popular items like this sometimes we run out and haven’t gotten our next shipment in. When that happens you’ll see a “Currently Unavailable” message listed on the product. I’m more than happy to let you know when the item is back in stock if you drop me an email to [email protected]. If you don’t see the item in my Online Store at all and you’ve double checked the item # you used, that means the item is no longer available. As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

And last but not least is this cute little card using the Rain or Shine Suite (160556) of products.

I just love the shinny UV Coating on this guy’s rain coat – too cute right? This card uses some of our retired products also to make it a valentine card. I love the way that all our products work together whether they are new or retired. It’s part of what drew me to Stampin’ Up! to begin with – everything coordinates so well.

If you love Stampin’ Up! and think you’d enjoy a group to craft with have you ever thought about purchasing the Starter Kit? Right now, during February and Sale-a-bration we have a even more fantastic Kit to begin your crafting journey! And you’ve got 3 kits to choose too! Join for just $99 for our basic kit of $175 in product or join with the $129 Kit and get to choose a Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss in addition to the $175 in product.

A quick & easy friendship card using Adorable Owls

Today’s card has been made with the Adorable Owls (Sale-a-bration 160269) and has been done in our In Colors.

And since our In Colors come in fun to use assortments you can create quickly and easily. This little guy has been colored with our Stampin’ Blends and is so much fun to color. It’s amazing how quickly you can change the feel of this little guy simply by changing up his eye color. I was going to a more masculine feel to this card so I stuck with the greens this go around.
