Construction Zone Pop Up Box Card Tutorial

Posted on by

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.

For this card I chose to team it up with the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper (161289) and fun Deckled Circle Dies (162286). I just thought this side of the Designer Series Paper looked a lot like our red Georgia clay! I just love how our products are so versatile and work together. Don’t you?

Want to see how I created it? Why not check out my video below?

Cutest Cows

Posted on by

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?

Next a fun little card using our Deckled Circle Dies (162286) and Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper (161640).

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.

Bee My Valentine

Posted on by

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).

The cute little Adhesive Backed Hearts & Flowers (162557) add a bit of shine to the project and the Sweet Sorbet 1/4″ Ribbon (162558) is a nice size ribbon that is soft to tie or simply add a bit of texture like on this card.

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.

Joy to You

Posted on by

Today’s cards both use the Joy to You stamp set (162090). This set used bold sentiments that are great for focal points and inside sentiments on your cards this holiday season.

This first card uses the Deckled Circle Dies (162286) to high light the sentiment, and Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper (161958) makes a quick and simple backdrop.

And this next card has a totally different color pallet since it uses the A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper (retiring 162377) which contains blues and greens. The paper is this year’s Making a Difference product – when you purchase this paper Stampin’ Up! donates $3.

The card uses a big block of color with the papers to add impact to the background. The sentiment has been cut out with the Deckled Rectangle Dies (159173) and soft color added with the Blending Brushes (153611). A piece of Balmy Blue 3/8″ Sparkle Ribbon (retiring 162030) adds some soft texture and shine. And this fun paper coordinates with our Beary Cute Punch (retiring 162023) too.

Do you have a favorite sentiment from this set? Why not leave me a comment and let me know which one you like best?

Posted on by

Can you believe Thanksgiving is next week already? The month is going quickly for sure. So today I thought I’d share a couple of quick and easy cards that you can make easily to share with family and friends.

This first card using the Cheers to the Season stamp set (162309) that has images for all the winter holidays.

As you can see the Distinktive stamp type already do the work for you. This card uses our Cajun Craze for a warm fall feel.

It also uses those wonderful Deckled Circle Dies (162286), Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (154317), Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots (156506), and Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (155475) that is part of our Seasonal Sale offerings.

And this next card uses the Autumn Leaves Bundle (162186) along with a simple stamping off method to create two different shades of Moody Mauve.

It also uses our those Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots (156506), this time the copper ones. It also uses the natural trim from the Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo Pack (162192). The ribbon has simply been cut in half to create a smaller width.

We have a lot of great basic products that are on sale this week during our Seasonal Sale.

More Night Divine

Posted on by

Traditional holiday cards – what could be better than the O Holy Night Suite Collection (162012) to create those wonderful cards. And of course if you already have your cards done why not get this lovely suite of products and start your cards early for next year!

Yes, it’s that lovely and been extremely popular this fall. Check out these lovely cards using the products from the suite. This first card uses the Night Devine Bundle (161997), one of my favorites with the silhouette images.

The nativity is on a piece of the O Holy Night Designer Series Paper (161986) that has been cut out using the Deckled Circle Dies (162286). Basic Rhinestones Jewels (144220) dot the sky for a bit of shine. Love the sentiments found in the Night Devine Bundle (161997)? How about this next card using Very Vanilla and Night of Navy?

A bit of the Night of Navy & Gold Glittered Ribbon (162011) and a Adhesive Backed Star Trinkets (162010) make this card shine and a great card to mass produce for the holidays. And finally a card that has lots of texture in the background as it uses the Stars at Night Hybrid Embossing Folder & Dies (162006).

Done in traditional colors the sentiment has been punched out and layered using the Handmade Tag Punch (159690). To layer the sentiment simply cut the Night of Navy punched tag in half and adhere to the top and bottom of the sentiment as desired.

Wow, I can’t pick a favorite. Can you? As you can see this Suite of products is wonderful for creating great cards, you can see why it’s been flying off the shelf this fall.

I always like to have a all occasions stamp set to create cards with and the Translucent Florals Bundle (162252)

fills this need with it’s lovely images and coordinating dies. This stamp set is one of our Distinktive stamps, so it has a watercolor look built right into it making it create wonderful images easily. Check out these card using this stamp set.

This first card is done in bright cheerful colors and uses the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder (161473) to add a bit of texture to the background. The flower itself has been die cut and a bit of the Calypso Coral has been sponged in the center before stamping to create a multicolored image. And of course a bit of shine was added in the bottom corner with our Glossy Dot Assortment (158146). And this next card uses the pattern from the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper (161192) to set the tone.

I just love the fresh soft feel of this card done in Fresh Freesia, Basic Gray, and Granny Apple Green. The image has been highlight with our Deckled Circle Dies (162286) which instantly adds a bit of texture. A few of our Tinsel Gems Three Pack (161624) add some more texture along with the Basic White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (155475).

And finally a fun little technique using the dies and our Vellum Basics Specialty Designer Series Paper (160839).

Autumn Leaves

Posted on by

The nights have been in the 50’s here and it is getting dark earlier now that Fall has begun so the leaf watchers won’t be far behind here in our neck of the woods, our peak is typically late October or early November so it will be interesting to see how this years weather has effected our timing. One never knows what Mother Nature will bring.

The cards I’m sharing with you today all use the Autumn Leaves Bundle (162186) that I used for last Friday’s card tutorial and while each use a very different color palette they all give you that fall feel. This first card uses the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper (162178) that will be back in stock on the 25th as a back drop.

A quick and easy card that uses Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie to evoke those feelings of cooler days. And this next card uses Crushed Curry, Copper Clay and Pretty Peacock along with a bit of foil to create a more elegant feel.

The Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (162189) found in the All About Autumn Suite Collection (162193) is a wonderful way to add texture and here it’s been brushed with a bit of Early Espresso to make it feel even more textured. And finally a fun non traditional card using Berry Burst.

It also uses the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (162189) and All About Autumn Designer Series Paper (162178). This time the Deckled Circle Dies (162286) has been used to cut out a piece of the lovely copper foil paper as a back drop to add the leaf too and make it shine.

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more cards using this fun Suite. And remember while the Suite may be on back order you can order the components separately. Only the Bundle has a 10% discount and it should be available again on the 25th.
