Team Time Fun

Today’s projects were all created by my team for our last swap. So today I thought I’d share them with you.

This first card uses a Arrow Flap Gate Fold and the Hey Girlfriend stamp set (154516).

The Flower & Field Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 155223) and Best Year stamp set (152568) were used to create interest for the back drop of this cute little image.

And this next card uses the Friendly Flamingo (154386) stamp set and Flamingo Dies (154313) for this tropical themed birthday card.

This little flamingo is so cute and with just a bit of sponging makes an impact. And if you like both did you know you can save 10% when you purchase the Bundle (156212)?

Of course everyone loves a gift box, this next project is a 3d Chocolate bar holder using the Love You Always Specialty Designer Series Paper (154280).

And here is another 3d project using the Heartfelt stamp set (151417) for the little sentiment that wraps around the rose bud. Wanda shared with us how she made them for the Caring with Cards program for our local elementary school this month. I think the staff are really going to enjoy this little treat!

And finally a lovely Valentine, change out the sentiment and it would make a lovely anniversary or wedding card too.

This card uses the Meant to Be stamp set (148626) and Mine Be Stitched Dies (151814) to create this soft sweet card filled with love.

Dressed to Impress Shoe Box Swap Tutorial

As promised today I’ll be sharing the card I designed for the NE GA Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Shoe Box Swap that I hosted last weekend. I really love the way this card turned out. Lovely Lipstick just seemed to be a perfect choice for this card since I was choosing the lipstick image.

I’ve used the coordinating Best Dressed Designer Series Paper stack for this project since I really like the fact it has both lovely floral patterns on one side and then graphic patterns on the other that play off the stamp set images. Great for all kinds of occasions cards this spring.

I’ve put together a video tutorial for you along with my standard PDF with the complete supply list and step by step how to.

Enjoy!

And how about some of the other participants cards too?

This first card was created using the From My Heart Suite of products (153931) and is perfect for that someone special.

The lovely From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper (151189) has been teamed up with our Heart Doilies (151191) and Form My Heart Faceted Gems (151154). Do you recognize the little hearts? It from the Stitched Be Mine (148527) Dies from the Annual Catalog. One of my favorite things about Stampin’ Up! is the coordination they give us so you can use our new products with ones you already have!

This next card uses our Sale-a-bration stamp set, Thoughtful Blooms (152290) that you can earn for FREE when placing a qualifying order.

It also uses the fun Metallic Baker’s Twine & Sequin Combo Pack (152314) another item in our Sale-a-bration Brochure that’s you’ll have fun using on your projects.

Done in Soft shades it has a wonderful spring feel to it. Don’t you love how the same set can look so different simply by changing your color pallet? I shared an project with you earlier this week HERE using colors from our Regals family. Why not check it out?

Heartfelt Treat Box

Today’s project is one that I made as a little gift for the NE GA Stampin’ Up! Demos recent shoe box swap that I hosted last Saturday.

This event is a new one that I’m hosting for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators, including those in North and South Carolina who want to participate and are in driving distance. It’s a lot of fun sharing and stamping together.

It holds a some heart shaped chocolate cakes in it made by Little Debbie.

So quick and simple to make and who wouldn’t like a little cake to sweeten their day?

Check out my video below to see just how easy they are to whip up!

Heartfelt Treat

Today’s project is one that I made for my Team OnStage After Party as a treat and it some how got buried on my desk. (lol if you could only see it). That’s the bad news, but because of that the good news is over the next week I’ll be sharing some fun projects and tutorials with you now using NEW 2020 Mini Catalog products from that fun event along with some pictures too! Sound good? Hold on to your hats – this Mini is packed with fantastic product choices for us!!!

Cute? It’s a quick and easy treat for some one you love. Whether you make the treat yourself of buy prepackaged ones it’s sure to be a favorite, since who doesn’t love the salty and sweet combination?

I found these at Target before the holiday, so you might be able to find some on sale some where at this point too.

I whipped up a bunch of these quickly for those attending the OnStage After Party.

Want to give them a try? Here is a quick video tutorial showing you how I put them together.
