By the Tide Tutorial

I fell in love with our Stampin’ Spritzers when they came out last summer. Have you had a chance to use them yet? If not you’ll want to check out this great project today using the By the Tide stamp set (item 129117/129120) from the Spring Catalog that uses our Stampin’ Spritzers.

By the Tide card

Stampin’ Spritzer  (item 126185) are inexpensive and soo much fun to use! And Stampin’ Spritzers just seemed like a perfect way to create a wonderful background for these water images. Watch my video to see how I created this card.

Although this project uses two of the colors that are currently on our Color Refresh Retirement List (River Rock and Not Quite Navy) there is still time to get yours. (Remember that when colors retired they tend to go quickly so don’t wait too long to place your order.)

Dress Form Pop ’n Cuts Birthday

Recently I needed a birthday card for a friend and since I was having so much fun playing with the Pop ‘n Cuts Dress Form Die I thought I would make one for her using it.

I really have enjoyed playing with this group of coordinating products. I wasn’t really sure about them in the beginning but have quickly become addicted to “playing dress up” with them. There are so many fun things to do with the Pop ‘n Cuts Dies and Framelits. And of course Stampin’ Up! makes the deal even sweeter since there is the All Dressed Up Bundle (item 131096/131095) that you can buy and save 15% – Add that to the FREE SHIPPING OFFER this weekend and who can resist?

Wonder what was in the little bag I made for her? I wanted to pamper her a bit and knew she would enjoy something homemade so I made some of my yummy foot scrub. You can click HERE to get the recipe for it.

Here are close ups of the card itself-

I hope my friend enjoyed her card because I enjoyed making it for her and I know she’ll enjoy her foot scrub. If you missed my earlier post sharing my original design of this card, you can click HERE. Included in this post was a video showing you how to make these fun and flirty Paper Doily skirts.

I hope you’ll have fun playing dress up with your paper dolls too!

Pop ‘n Cuts Gift Card Holder

Last week I shared a card that I had created with the Card Base Pop ‘n Cuts Die. Today I am going to share another way to use the Card Base Pop ‘n Cuts Die – this time to make a Pop ‘n Cuts Gift Card Holder.

Pop n Cuts Gift Card Holder

Isn’t this Pop ‘n Cuts Gift Card Holder cute? I love these little pinwheels and so I wanted to use them with the coordinating sentiment stamp set Wishes Your Way. I thought that the little greeting included in this set would be great for a graduate.

And since I’m currently gearing up for my daughters high school graduation I’ve been focusing on ideas for  graduation gifts and cards. Gift card holders are always something I need. How about you? And the Card Base Pop ‘n Cuts Die makes this gift card holder not only cute, but easy too.

Paper Hearts Video Tutorial

Are you ready for Valentine’s Day? I’m almost ready and since Valentine’s Day is just a few days away I wanted to share my video tutorial with you for these cute little Paper Hearts. I made these Paper Hearts to hang in the windows of my house. I think you’re going to have fun making them too – but be careful they’re so quick and easy they are addicting!

Here are 3 of the Paper Hearts that I made on Saturday.

Paper Hearts group

As you can see I made my Paper Hearts in 2 different sizes and I used the Hearts a Flutter Bundle (item 131098/131097) to create the spinning heart in the center. Can you see the word love stamped on the center of the larger heart? (You can check out the close up below for a better view.) I used the stamp set Fabulous Phrases to stamp the word love on one side, and the word you on the other side, so when it spins it says “Love You”.

Fabulous Phrases (item 117002/120501) is one of those stamp sets I use all the time since it is such a pretty font and it contains 30 stamps that you can make all kind of different phrases with! (Want to see some of the combinations you can make with this set? Click HERE for a PDF and then see how many more you can make!)

Paper Hearts large

Isn’t that fun? I can’t decide which one I like best since I just love the delicate scalloped heart image from the Hearts a Flutter stamp set, it reminds me of my Grandma for some reason. Why not leave me a comment below and let me know which Paper Heart you like the best.
