Bee My Valentine

Posted on by

Last Thursday I shared with you a wonderful thank you card using the Bee My Valentine stamp set (162457). Today I thought I’d share some cards that use some untraditional colors to send a love message.

Our first card today is a monochromatic one done in the color, Darling Ducking which is one of our 2025-2027 In Colors and uses a fun fold.

It uses simple stamping and a couple of score lines 2 3/4″ from each end to create a lovely card making it perfect for someone just starting out building their supplies.

This next card also uses the set but takes it a different direction

with a fun easel card. Done in Crushed Curry, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso.

The background for this easel card has been stepped up with the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder (164695) and some fussy cutting. Once again the lovely 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls (165192) have been used to add a bit of shine.

And finally this lovely Floating Vertical Bandstand Pop Up Card done in Lemon Lolly and Poppy Parade.

This card folds down flat for mailing. And isn’t the little thought bubble cute? It is actually the same punch being used for the body of the bee. The Lemon Lolly panels have been dry embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (161600) to add some texture and the Drusty Embellishments (164223) not only add shine but some wonderful texture too.

So what do you think? Like traditional colors and the non traditional colors used here? Don’t you like how color can change the whole feel of a card and make something feel so different.

Today’s card uses this fun set along with the 2025-2027 In Colors and Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper (165175) to set the color pallet which is a easy way to do that when your first learning to stamp.

This card also highlights the way these colors (Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush, and Cloud Cover) work so well together, so if you are a beginning stamper it is a wonderful way to start building your color collection.

A bit of texture was added to the background with the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder (164695) and a bit of shine by adding a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels (144220). Rhinestones are another wonderful versatile products that can be used all kinds of ways.

Party Piggy Shaker Card

Posted on by

Today’s card is just too adorable and fun. After all who doesn’t love a shaker card?

This card uses the Piggy Party Bundle (Online Exclusive 165483)

to create this project and it’s got some cute sayings included. Not only that, but the little pig shaker has been placed on a wobble spring so it jiggles too. How sticking cute, right?

For this project the dome for this card has been filled with our Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix Embellishments (164618) and the background has been dry embossed with the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder (164695) to add some background texture. Stampin’ Blends have been used to add a bright pop of color to the hat and flags and a few of our Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots (162758) have been added for a bit of color and additional texture.

This bundle has lots of fun possibilities. When I first saw this bundle I could see using it for gifting a special Bacon Dip and using What’s shakin’, Bacon? with imitation bacon pieces in the shaker! How fun would that be?

You can find this and other products in my Online Store, so why not stop by and take a look?

Bright Borders

Posted on by

Today’s cards both use the Bright Borders stamp set (164753) that you can find on page 58 of the January – April Mini Catalog.

This stamp set is an all occasions set that includes some wonderful sentiments and images. It also coordinates with the NEW To the Point Label Punch (164568) making it a great choice for beginning stampers or quick project making. I loved sets like this when I first started stamping since it took the stress of lining up an image perfectly on my stamped panel. With a punch it’s easy, stamp on a scrap piece, line up the image inside the punch and cut! Who doesn’t love that?

This first card is done in our Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink giving it a softer feel perfect for spring.

The Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder (164695) gives some interest to the background and the lovely Petal Pink 3/8″ Scalloped Ribbon (164680) adds more texture with it’s fine details and scalloped edge. For a little bolder look how about this next card done in Flirty Flamingo and Pecan Pie?

Simple stamping was used to create the card front and a panel from our Brights Designer Series Paper Assortment (163775). A bit of white from our Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (165679) steps it up and adds a bit of shine to the sentiment panel. The white ribbon from the Petal Pink & White 1/4″ Diagonal Trim Combo Pack (163417) and the Party Dots (164602) add some texture.

So what do you think? This is a great set to use with all kinds of products that you may already have on hand.
