My Top Sale a Bration picks!

2/26/2021

0 Comments

 
Honestly, I like them all!  But, here are a few favorites to share with you.  Remember that Sale a Bration ends this Sunday, February 28th.  You can choose an item with every $50 you order. Click here to order or check out the list at the end of the post. 
Picture
This Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper makes a card all by itself! However, add the In Bloom flowers and it's a gorgeous card. 
Picture
The Corner Bouquet stamp set allows for quick and easy cards.  Use it for tone on tone or ink it up with your Stampin' Write Markers for a beautiful look. 
Picture
Another amazing Designer Series Paper pack.  The Flower and Field can also  make a card by itself.  I love doing a little fussy cutting to get the pretty flowers to play front and center on my card. 
Picture
The Darling Donkeys are too cute to miss! So many fun ways to use them.  Here I colored using Wink of Stella!  Just dip it in a little ink refill and color away.  
Picture
This card is double duty! Both the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper (which is a Level 2 item with the Berry Blessings stamp set) and the Approaching Perfection stamp set are items I've been using over and over.

2/24/2021

0 Comments

 
If you are looking to make super quick and easy cards the Memories and More Card Pack combined with Assorted Memories and More Cards and Envelopes are the perfect answer.  In these samples I've used the Dandy Garden Memories and More Card Pack and Cards and Envelopes.  
Picture
Simply adhere a 3 x 4 card and a sticker to the base and you're done! Could these be any easier?  No ink and stamps needed! You can use the 4 x 6 cards as well. 

Plus, these cards are designed specifically for pocket scrapbooking so you've got multiple uses.

February Stampin' Up!  Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

2/22/2021

0 Comments

 
One of my favorite things to do with my Paper Pumpkin kit is to create alternatives.  My advice with every kit is to cut some of the bases to double the cards you can make! 

Remember that each Paper Pumpkin kit comes with everything you need to create the projects.  Stamp, ink, paper and embellishments. Subscribe by the 10th of each month to get yours.  Cancel or pause anytime! 
Picture
Adding in another word die helped me create the perfect card.  The phrase from the Art Gallery Bundle was just what I wanted. 
Picture
Don't forget about the adhesive sheets when die cutting words or intricate dies.  They are a lifesaver! No more messy glue fingers or smudges on your card. 
Picture
Picture
Combining multiple bases made for easy cards.  Don't forget you can save the small strips you cut off to use in layering as I did above. 

I really like the look of the bundle of flowers stamp. It stands alone without needing to be colored.

Sweet Strawberry and Berry Blessings

2/20/2021

0 Comments

 
I can't get enough of the Sweet Strawberry bundle and the new Blending Brushes.
Picture
The new Blending Brushes are a fun and easy way to add a little color to your card.  Simply blend starting in a corner and work your way up to add subtle color.  It took me a few tries but I think I've got the hang of them.  I recommend tapping off after adding ink and before applying to your paper. ​
Picture
I also love the look of white embossing on black paper. 

The strawberry I punched from the Sale a Bration Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper.  This is a Level 2 product and is probably my favorite from this years offerings. 
Picture
I once again used Old Olive ink and the Blending Brushes but without adding red it changes the look.  Simple but elegant!

Butterfly Brilliance

2/19/2021

0 Comments

 
The upcoming early release of Butterfly Brilliance should not be missed! This suite is amazing.  Featuring one big stamp with one big die to cut out all the butterflies it's one you are going to need. 

Although the stamp set and dies will be featured in the upcoming annual catalog the Designer Series Paper can only be bought during the early release.  Available starting March 2. 
Picture
This card is easy to make when using your Stamparatus.  Using the Stamparatus is helpful if any of the butterflies do not stamp fully on your first attempt.  Simply ink them back up and try again! 
Picture
I'm off to recreate the card in multiple colors!

Pretty Perennials

2/16/2021

The Pretty Perennials bundle in the January to June Mini is amazing.  Especially when paired with the Flower and Field Designer Series Sale a Bration paper!  You can earn them when you purchase the bundle and Opals used to make these cards. 
Picture
All of these cards were part of my Pretty Perennials class last month.  The fussy cutting of the Designer Series Paper really makes this card in my opinion. 
Picture
Creating my own Designer Series Paper with stamps is one of my favorite things to do.  Simply pick your favorite stamps and ink and fill your paper.

​A bright color combo makes for fun cards.  This design idea came right out of the catalog. 
Picture
The Dainty Diamonds embossing folder makes a statement when used as the backdrop to a card.

Stampin’ Up! In Bloom

2/9/2021

Picture
I originally overlooked this bundle in the Jan-June Mini Catalog.  I have to admit I have a lot of flower sets already so my initial thought was "oh, I don't need another".  Until I realized that the dies are all stitched!  Now I can't get enough of it. 
Picture
Each one has so much detail!  Plus, when you pair it with the Paper Blooms Sale a Bration paper it gets that much better.  This fun fold was one we did at my Bingo events last week. 

It also offers some great sentiments in a pretty font.

Sweet Strawberry and Blending Brushes

2/4/2021

0 Comments

 
I love the new blending brushes. With just a little practice and pressure you can add subtle color to your card.  Mango Melody is such a pretty color!
Picture
The sentiment is from a retired stamp set but it was perfect for what I needed.
Picture
The vine from Sweet Strawberry was perfect to layer on top of the subtle color from the blending brush.  
Picture
Twine is always my go to.  I reach for it way more than ribbon and I don't know why! I just love it. It's not bulky and adds the right touch to so many cards.
