Stay Warm

This cold weather has me thinking about sweaters and turning on the heat. How about you? So with that thought in mind I thought I’d share the fun little set, Stay Warm Stamp set (165969)

one of our image only sets from the Mini Catalog. Everyone can relate to these warm fuzzy images. I know I do when I was a child my grandmother always made sure I was bundled up before I went out in the snow to play.

So with those warm memories in mind I’m sharing a couple of cards made using this set. This first card uses the images stamped tone on tone.

Texture has been added in the background with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder (164049). And even more texture has been added by using the Perennial Postage Dies (162607) that have been used to cut out the sentiment and Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (165853).

The sentiment is from the Snowflake Kisses stamp set (Online Exclusive 166018) and the fun bit of shine are our Traditional Sparkling Sequins (165875). If you haven’t seen these sequins they are flat, come in 4 colors and 3 sizes making them great to use on all kinds of projects.

This last card today teams up the stamp set with the Christmas Tags & More 6×6 Mix & Match Specialty Designer Series Paper (165907).

The sweater has been stamped in Soft Sea and Garden Green with the two-step stamps.

So what do you think? Feeling a bit warmer now?

Label Me Grateful

Fall is here and the leaves are turning quickly creating a wonderful pallet of colors on the trees here in North Georgia. How about in your area? But the cooler days and nights make me this fall so today’s card is celebrating this new season.

This card uses the fun Label Me Grateful Bundle (Online Exclusive 166112) which is filled with wonderful sentiment and coordinating images for this time of year.

And this card was inspired by the creation Stampin’ Up! shared with us. Don’t you love being able to CASE (copy and share everything)? And why not change it up a bit to suit you and make it yours like this card does?

This card uses not only the Label Me Grateful Bundle (Online Exclusive 166112), it also uses the wonderful Need for Tweed Designer Series Paper  (Online Exclusive 166144) a pack of paper that is filled with tons of texture making it perfect for this project.

More texture has been added with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder (164049) in the background and fun little embellishments that include Linen Thread (104199) and Pressed Flower Motifs (165215).

Wonder how the sentiment was created? It’s simple stamp your sentiment onto a strip of card stock the height you’d like and then run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss using the Die to coordinate with the die cut Designer Series Paper. Yep, it’s that simple to create those wonderful sentiments for this project.

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing another fun card using the Gathering Moments Bundle.

More Terrific Toadstools

Yesterday I shared with you some fun cards using the Terrific Toadstools Bundle (164790).

Today I’m going to share with you some cards that used this fun bundle with the FREE Sale-a-bration paper that coordinates with it, the Toadstool Gardens 6×6 Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 164942).

This 6×6 paper stack comes in fun colors and is bright and cheerful. Check out these cards that show off this paper.

This first card uses simple stamping and a fun fold to show off the Designer Series Paper. The card base is your typically one but the front of the card has been scored at the 2 1/4″ mark and folds back on itself with a panel of paper attached. And small strip of polka dot paper is adhered to the card front beneath it. The stamped panel is attached to the front and the top punched mushroom adds another shade and a bit of depth to the card. The Adhesive Backed Dragonfly & Birds (Online Exclusive 162743) add a bit of shine and whimsy to the card. Or how about this next card this next card?

It uses the same kind of fold but this time the card front is scored at 2 1/8″. The panel has a few of the Purple Adhesive Backed Sequins (Sale-a-bration 164970) that you can also get for FREE.

This next card done in Pretty in Pink and Melon Mambo and strips of the Designer Series Paper uses the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder (164049) to give the card texture in the background

and a bit of our 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim (161637) and a few of our Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots (162758).

And this simple punched toadstool adds a quick and simple torn edge technique to the panel along with those fun little sequins again.

Today’s final card teams up the Bundle with the Hugs for Love Bundle (165738)

A simple layer black that has been punched is layered behind the sentiment and a few of the Sunny Day Iridescent Dots (164696) add a fun pop of color and shimmer.

Fun, right? Did you know that you can earn as many of our Sale-a-bration products as you’d like? Whether you choose to get multiples of one item or one of the items you choose, the choice is yours with any qualifying purchase between now and the end of February!

With You in Mind

Today’s cards all use the With You In Mind stamp set (164747). This stamp set is one of our stand along sets from our January – April Mini and you can find it on page 18.

Sets like this are great to add to your collection or for beginner stampers since they have all occasion sentiment and images. This set uses a particularly lovely mix of fonts and bigger sentiments that make wonderful focal points. Check out todays cards using this set.

This first card teams up the sentiment with punches and adds a bit of texture with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder (164049) and Antique Pearls (164679). Simple stamping and a bit of sponging around the sentiment that has been popped up adds a bit more interest.

this next card is stamped in Calypso Coral and Boho Blue and adds some Earth Tones Shimmer Gems (164070) to the center of the flowers.

Again a bit of color around the sentiment panel softens the edge. And finally a birthday card.

Simple stamping in Wild Wheat was used for the sentiment and the simple stamp off technique done in Cajun Craze gives us 3 tones of the same color for the cupcakes. the strips of Designer Series Paper on a diagonal add a bit of interest and whimsy and pulls all the colors together. A great quick and easy card with lots of interest and perfect for a winter birthday.

All these cards have been teamed up with the Timeless Plaid 6×6 Designer Series Paper (164678) also found in the Mini that includes a great selection of plaids in soft colors. If you haven’t checked it out you’ll be sure to want to since these patterns are great for both men and women and folks of all ages.
