Silly Safari Thank You Card

Posted on by

Today’s card is quick and easy and uses my Card Sketch #13 along with the Silly Safari Stamp set (165254).

While this set is part of a money saving bundle and includes a circle punch I’m only using the stamp set for this card.

Bright and cheerful it’s perfect any time of year and of course who doesn’t love a giraffe? Do you ever stamp onto your Designer Series Papers? Check out the upper panel of Darling Duckling Designer Series Paper that I’ve used for this card. It’s added not only color and texture to the top of this card but also a great backdrop for the foliage I’ve stamped too! Why not give it a try?

Here is my video tutorial for you and a PDF with the supplies, step by step directions, and even the video link so everything is in one place when you are ready to craft.

As I mentioned this card uses my Card Sketch #13. These Sketches are great when you need a little inspiration. I’ve been sharing them with you for a while and if you’d like to make them as a reference for you’re crafting too I’ve got a hand PDF that gives you the measurements and more. Put them on a ring or make this little crate I’ve shared with you to keep them on your desk and have them at your finger tips.

Use the color combinations listed on the PDF and you will have a reference for color combos too!

It’s that time of year – as we say goodbye to our 2025 Annual Catalog and 2024-2026 In Colors I thought I shared a card using the New Stampin’ Positioner (available in the May-August Mini) and one of our Last Chance Stamp sets, Thanking You stamp set (Last Chance 163718).

Throw Back Thursday with Healing Hugs

Posted on by

Recently I found some cards that I haven’t shared with you on my desk so today I’m beginning to share a series of tutorials I’ll be calling Throw Back Thursday since they highlight something you might already have in your craft supplies. They also include new products found in my Online Store.

One of the things I love about Stampin’ Up! is their product coordination and these project will show you just how easy it is to coordinate the old with the new.

Since it’s that time of year I thought I’d stare with the Healing & Hugs stamp set since we all have someone we know who might be feeling under the weather during cold and flu season.

This set contains cute little animals so it was one I definitely wanted to add to my collection. I’ve teamed it up with our fun Brights Designer Series Paper Assortment (165301) and used one of my favorite colors, Coastal Cabana.

Woolly Friends Valentine Treat Holder Tutorial

Posted on by

Need a last minute Valentine Treat for family or friends? How about a cute little bag? Today’s project is one that I whipped up to hold two little Kit Kat bars that I found at my local Target and could resist picking up. These cute little bears were wrapped in what looked like to me Poppy Parade and Pretty in Pink and Flirty Flamingo wrappers that I thought would match our Made with Love Designer Series Paper perfectly!

And since they came in a smaller package I wouldn’t have a lot of chocolate temping me after I made the treats. That’s a win, win for me.

Here is the little treat I made with them.

Cute right? I fell in love with this little lamb as soon as I saw the Woolly Friends stamp set (166881) and it’s coordinating Woolly Friends Builder Punch (166887) in the January – April Mini Catalog. AND since I’ve always loved punches I knew it would be one of my first purchases from the Mini.

Here is a quick tutorial for you to learn how I created this fun little treat.

I’ve also made a PDF tutorial for you with measurements, instructions, and link to the video tutorial so everything is in one place when you are ready to create.
