Remember today kicks off a whole week of fun tutorials to celebrate my 15th Anniversary as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. It’s my way of saying thank you for being part of my journey, I wouldn’t be able to do this without all my wonderful crafting friends.
So today’s card is a fun little card that is 3d and uses the Construction Zone stamp set (161582). It will fold flat when you want to mail it and pops up and creates a little box for you to display making it a lot of fun.
This card is great for the guys in our lives and our Stampin’ Blends make it a snap to add bold color.

Cows. They dot the hills and landscape behind my home and around me. In the spring I get to see the babies and as they grow get to watch them frolic around the fields. Cows have been a part of my memories as long as I can remember, as my Uncle was a dairy farmer growing up in Wisconsin so when I saw the Cutest Cows Bundle (162897) I knew it would be a fun set to work with.
Check out these fun little cards using the bundle. This first one uses some fun sunflowers in the background that have been colored with our Stampin’ Blends. The background has also been sponged to create a sky and ground the grass.
And this next one while it has the same images the colors used make it bright and cheerful. Isn’t it amazing how just a change in color makes things feel so different?
A Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blend adds color to the Designer Series Paper hearts and a bit of shine with the Adhesive Backed Sequins Trio Pack (161206). Last but not least is a fun little card using the punch to build the little cow.
This card uses the punch to create a bold pop of color and the stamps to create the face and grass along with a bit of color added with the Blending Brush. the sentiment has been stamped and then cut apart and popped up. And the Brass Butterflies (158136) add a nice bit of shine and whimsy.
I think you’ll find this Bundle a lot of fun to create with.

Lavender. The sweet smell and calming feel that comes with it as you breath it in. Stampin’ Up! has given us a wonderful Suite of products highlighting this wonderful plant that is filled with a variety of images.
And the sentiments found in the Perennial Postage Bundle (162608) are wonderful for our upcoming Mother’s Day and needs through out the year. Check out this lovely card sending a virtual hug in the mail that uses simple stamping.
Want to step it up a bit? How about some dies and embossing folders like this next card uses?
Our Clear block has been used to create this water colored wash block of color behind the lavender. And this technique is so easy to do. Simply ink up your block first with the lighter color, in this case Fresh Freesia and then add a darker shade like Gorgeous Grape to the one half use our Stampin Spritzer (126185) filled with water to spray it and allow to blend, then stamp. Voila! a great look, right?
Quick and simple techniques like this are a lot of fun and so simple to do too. It’s part of what drew me to Stamping in the first place – creativity at it’s best.
Why not check out all the products in the Perennial Lavender Suite (162613) and see what appeals to you? Remember if one of the items are on back order in a Suite or Bundle you can still order the other items separately.

If you haven’t seen our Rock & Roll Suite Collection (162710) and have a budding musician or music lover, you’ll want to be sure to check it out. This set is great for all ages, and gives us a great option for teens too.
The Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper (1627036) is done in all black & white so you can add color or use as is and has a retro feel to it. Check out this first card that uses strips of the one pattern as a back drop and another for the sentiment.
They come in 3 different colors including white which allows you to customize colors if you want too. This next card uses a different approach with its Glimmer Paper, the Three Color Glimmer Paper (Online Exclusive 162813). This pack has a choice of Highland Heather, Pretty Peacock, or the Petal Pink that was used for this card.
So what do you think? Like the glimmer look? or the Retro one? I love the way we can use new products with older ones that we already have. Stampin’ Up! coordination is what drew me to them in the first place.

I can remember the first time I saw this technique and it seemed like magic to me. Our image has been stamped in VersaMark and heat embossed with the White Embossing Powder. Additional stamping has been added to the background and then ink has been brushed on top of that. A paper towel is then used to wipe off the ink on the dogwood image. Voila! the image reappears easily since the embossing powder resists any of the ink. So simple but wow! Can you remember seeing a technique that blew you away the first time you saw it? Simple things like this make stamping so much fun!
And these next card uses our lovely Pebbled Path and Fresh Freesia for the color pallet of the next card.
