On the Farm

I grew up in the rolling hills of dairy farm land as a child so the On the Farm Bundle (160652) spoke to me immediately when I saw it. And while I live in North Georgia now, right our neighboring farmer has the calves in the field next to us, keeping them close as they adjust to being away from mom. It’s always fun to watch them frolic and play in the field.

Not only is this stamp set filled with farm animals it also has some wonderful sentiments AND when you purchase it during Sale-a-bration it has a fun coordinating Designer Series Paper, Day at the Farm (Sale-a-bration 160835) too that you can get for creating even more fun projects!

Here is a fun card done in Pear Pizzazz and Crumb Cake using the Bundle.

The sentiment has been punch out with the Double Oval Punch (154242) and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430) which gives it a bit of texture an interest.

So what do you think? Look like something you’d enjoy? And great news this set of On the Farm Dies (160660) fits in our Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss (160881).

Did you know that you can get this mighty little machine in your Starter Kit in addition to $175 of product of your choice? Our Starter Kit is the best value in the Catalog and right now you have 3 Starter Kit choices to choose from. But you’ll want to hurry because Sale-a-bration ends in just 5 days on February 28th!

There is was a nip in the air this morning which means we are getting closer to our first frost in North Georgia, in comes the plants. And that bit of cooler air makes me think the holidays aren’t far behind, which makes me think snow. I don’t know about you but the first fall of snow makes us all want to go out an build a snowman. How about you? So today I thought I’d share some fun cards made with the Snowbody Better stamp set (156446).

I love it’s quirky fond and fun sayings too. Here are a couple of cards made with this fun stamp set. This first card uses the fun Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper (156329) as a kick off to it’s non traditional color pallet.

Stampin’ Blends were used to color the image and texture was added to the background with the Wintery 3D Embossing Folder (155433) the sentiment adds a bit more texture with the Double Oval Punch (154242) which is a perfect size for many of these sentiments. This next card has a soft color pallet also.

The Scalloped Contour Dies (155560) adds a bit of interest and the Basic Rhinestone Jewels (144220) a bit of shimmer and shine.

Want a more traditional look for your snowy friends? Why not check out the Snow Wonder stamp set (153344) and it’s coordinating Snow Time Dies set (153564)?

Here are a few cards made with this set for you. This first one is done in our In Color Fresh Freesia for a soft wintery feel.

Hydrangea Haven

Do you have fond memories of Hydrangeas? My Mother-in law loved this bushes and always had one in her yard. As we pulled into her yard the big full of blooms they were always so cheerful, like big snowballs. If you love Hydrangeas like she did you’ll be sure to enjoy working with the Hydrangea Haven Bundle (156251) found on page 18-20 of the Mini Catalog. Since this bundle is part of a suite of products you’ll have tons of coordinating products to choose from.

I really like the variety of all occasions sentiments in this set and the lovely font it uses too. What do you think? Want to see some cards now? This first card teams the bundle up with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder (152725) for a bit of texture and the Double Oval Punch (154242).

And this next one uses the Curvy Dies (154319) to create a special place for the sentiment that has been heat embossed on the Gorgeous Grape layer.

Isn’t it wonderful the way that you can bend our Photopolymer stamps to give them a bit of curve like on this card? And if you are a fan of these cards you’ll want to be sure to check out the beautiful Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper (154570) with its soft colors and images, it was one of my favorite things when I first saw the catalog. But it is really hard to pick just one accessory that I like best from this suite of products. Can you?

Love quick and easy treats? I know I do – I love cute packaging that brings a smile to that special someone’s face. And the Flowers for Every Season 6×6 Designer Series Paper makes these treats quick and easy!

I whipped these up last week for my team’s Peak Princes event on Sunday. This event celebrates my teams accomplishments over the last 6 months, so this sentiment seemed perfect for it. I not only tucked in some chocolate, because who doesn’t love that? I also included their lanyard charm that I created with one of our embellishments too.

Check out just how quick and easy it is to make with just some score lines in my video tutorial so you can whip some up too!

Sale-a-bration’s A Touch of Ink

The A Touch of Ink stamp set (Sale-a-bration 155233) is another great option for you when you place a qualifying order during Sale-a-bration and you get to pick your free product. A Touch of Ink combines a set with wonderful all occasion sentiments, images and give you a 2 step option for adding color too.

You’ll want to check out these wonderful cards created with this stamp set – after all who can resist butterflies and hummingbirds! This first card uses our Blending Brushes (153611) to add a simple band of color as a backdrop of these lovely sketched images.

A bit of texture has been added to the Granny Apple Green layer with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder (153200) and the sentiment has been punched out with our new Double Oval Punch (154242) and added to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals to add some depth.

This next card uses the fun polka dot pattern from the Field & Flower Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 155223) and sets the color pallet for the card.

I love the water color look the 2 step stamps in this set have – the shading is done for you with one quick and easy stamp.

How about a soft and sweet look? Done in Purple Posy and Blushing Bride this next card has a completely different feel due to the colors chosen. The sentiment has a shadow effect since the sentiment has been cut out with the Ornate Frames Dies (150664) and popped up for a bit of color behind it.

The hummingbird has been colored using our So Saffron and Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends for a bit strong coloring effect.

And how about the focal point being the flowers? I love the way this gives us just a hint of the hummingbird dropping by for a quick meal.

And today’s final card uses just the 2 step stamps to create this collage effect for this bright and bold card done in Gorgeous Grape, Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow.

Quick and easy the Gorgeous Grape 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon (154572) adds a bit of color and texture to the card. So what do you think? Which card is your favorite? There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to card making. It’s part of what I love with stamping our color choices an create such different looks with the same stamp set and our options are unlimited since the coordination Stampin’ Up! gives us allows for endless options based on what we like!
