Penguin Place

Penguins & Punches! What could be better? I began collecting penguins years ago and so this little guy in the Penguin Place stamp set (156410) holds a special place on my shelf for stamping.

With it’s little accessories for 2 step stamping it is a lot of fun to work with. And the Penguin Builder Punch (156452) makes these little guys quick and easy to make too! Check out these fun projects using the Bundle (Retiring 156789). This first card uses the traditional holiday colors and our Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper (Retiring 153492) to create this friendship card

And this next card uses a fun fold along with the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder (156392) along with a soft pastel color palette.

For a little more fun a “wobble” has been added behind the penguin to add movement. I really like the way this set also contains all occasions sentiments that can be used all winter long. Check out this a fun winter themed card done in Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, and Polished Pink.

And how about sharing a little love with a friend or someone special?

This card has been created using Pale Papaya and Cherry Cobbler and uses a fun fold

That gives you a lovely surprise when you open it

How cute is that? And if you are in need of a winter birthday card, check out this next project.

Bright and cheerful with it’s Pumpkin Pie and Highland Heather color combination and the background has been embossed with the Animal Print Embossing Folder (155429) for some fun texture.

Poppin’ Birthday Card Tutorial

I loved the projects that came in the March Paper Box AND the additional stamp set too. What a great value and all the cutting and work was done for me all I had to do was assemble. Of course after that what do you do with all those goodies that are left over? Make something with them of course.

So today’s project uses the stamp set from the kit.

The kit came with the Poppy Parade ink spot so I started there – I added a couple of our great punch shapes and some Poppy Parade and Blueberry Bushel card stock.

So quick and easy to create a bunch of these cards. Check out my quick video tutorial

#imbringingbirthdaysback & it’s a Piece of Cake

Today’s card is one that I made for this month’s birthday cards. I enjoy sending happy mail to my friends and family each month. I know that it’s a great feeling to go to the mail box and get something besides circulars and bills. How about you?

The Piece of Cake stamp set also has a coordinating Cake Builder Punch, but I didn’t use it for this card. Instead I chose to use my Stamparatus since it made stamping this project soooo easy.

Here is a quick video tutorial for you

Hello Cupcake Birthday Wishes

This past week was my birthday and so today I thought I would share some of the wonderful hand made cards that I received. It’s always nice to receive birthday wishes by snail mail verses face book, don’t you think. I know I enjoy them up on my mantel for weeks.

Since Sale-a-bration is in it’s final count down I thought I’d share this fun pocket card done in Lemon Lime Twist with you first.

Cute right? I love this cup cake and good news you can still earn it during the last 5 days of Sale-a-bration when you place a qualifying order.

This second one is soft and lovely done with the Marbled Background stamp and Dandelion Wishes stamp set.

And how about this card done in a quilt like design using scraps – my fellow stamp has challenged herself to create with her scraps! Love the idea. No surprise since I love quilts too.

And this final card is a thank you I received. It is an oldie but goodie but goodie retired set – dragonflies are always a hit.



That’s it for the day. It’s late since I just got back from the grocery store after a fun day day crafting and working with the NEW March Paper Pumpkin Kit that just arrived. I’ve got a fun alternate project I will be sharing with you soon.

Rev Up the Fun!

Need a great guy set? Why not try Rev Up the Fun!  – it’s a great set for both the young and the young at heart.

Rev Up the Fun!

This card was quick and easy to make since I used our Silver Foil Sheets to run through the Big Shot using my Top Note Die first and then the Chevron Embossing Folder. I think our Silver Foil sheets are great to add the look of chrome when using this set.

I simply stamped my image in Real Red and then cut it out with my Ovals Collection Framelits and sponged the edges to pull in a little more color. Can you see the 1/8″ Mini Brads in the center of the wheels? They add another touch of chrome to the image tying it all together.

I adhered this to my prepared Top Note piece that I had already added to my sponged card front. Can you see the touch of color around the edges of the card front? I think the sponging adds a little more depth and adds interest. My last step was to add my sentiment popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Voila! It’s ready – Now to just mail it off.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Rev Up the Fun! (130520/130523)

Inks: StazOn Jet Black (101406), Real Red (126949), and  Basic Gray Classic Stampin’ Pad (126981)

Paper: Silver Foil Sheets (132178), Real Red (102482), and Whisper White Card stock (100730)
