Just a Little Reminder that You are Loved

I was looking at the peppermint snowman treat holder I made on Monday. Since the peppermint snowman chocolate candy is only available during the winter months of the year, I thought what other treats would fit in this treat holder size. A 2" Ghirardelli chocolate square fits perfectly in this treat holder size too!

This treat holder is a terrific way to add a little sweetness to a loved one's day and to show them that you are thinking of and love them!

I layered the small and large flowers from the Fitting Florets stamp set with the leaf dies from the Framed Florets Dies to create a little embellishment behind the greeting banner.

To make the greeting banner, first stamp and die cut the banner from a piece of Basic White cardstock and the stitched banner die. Then adhere the banner die cut to a scrap of Daffodil Delight that is a little larger than the banner. Use paper snips to cut a banner shape from the Daffodil Delight cardstock slightly bigger than the Basic White banner die cut. You now have a Basic White cardstock banner outlined in Daffodil Delight cardstock.

Below are the measurements and the supply list for my Fitting Florets chocolate square treat holder. If you need supplies to recreate this treat holder, please, shop my online store HERE.

Go to Greeting Birthday Banner Card

I had my eye of the #158763 Go to Greetings stamp set since the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog debuted. I ordered it during the 24-hour stamp sale, and it arrived quicker than I thought it would! I was so excited to get it in the mail that I sat down to create cards right away. Today's birthday card is one of the ideas I knew I wanted to make first!

 

The largest greeting stamp size makes a bold, slightly more formal look for this birthday card. The font style is thick enough to make a clear impression when heat embossed. I also used the embossing buddy to double ensure that no stray embossing powder heat set on the Polished Pink cardstock just in case. The lettering embossed neatly and each of the letters are crisp and legible.

I first arranged the banners along the bottom half of the card front. Once I was happy with the placement, I added Stampin' Seal to the bottom half of the back of the Polished Pink greeting piece. I carefully placed the Polished Pink greeting piece on top of the banners to adhere them in place all at the same time. I totally held my breath during that step! Lol! Next I added liquid glue to the back and adhered it to the card front.

 

Inside the card I added a piece of pink plaid paper from the Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack and a narrow piece of Polished Pink cardstock to cover the DSP seam and for an extra pop of pink.

You can also see in the photo above that only the tops of the banners are adhered to the card front. This adds a bit of whimsy and movement to the card.

 

Below are the measurements and supply list to recreate this Go to Greetings banner birthday card. If you need supplies to recreate this card, please, shop my online store HERE.

 

Measurements

• Card Base: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" (Thick Basic White Cardstock)

You are Missed Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper

The 2022 July-December Mini Catalog debuted a few days ago. I just had to share this "gourd-eous" thinking of you card from page 50 of the July-December Mini Catalog! This card sample show cases how to use the Rustic Harvest paper as a background and as a grouping of gourds around the pumpkin die cut.

 

Not only can you use the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper for larger areas of your card projects, but you can also use them in smaller ways by fussy cutting the different pumpkins, gourds, and leaves.

I also like how Stampin' Up! paired the Hello Harvest Product Suite with the #159163 Fabulous Frames Dies on page 171 of the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. The frame die cut provides a beautiful gold foil backdrop to anchor the gourd arrangement!

What a perfect card to let a loved one know that you are thinking of them!

You are Simply Fabulous Circle Easel Card

Today's project is a circle easel card featuring the Simply Fabulous stamp set. The Simply Fabulous stamp set is one of my top must-have stamp sets from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. It has cute little flowers and leaves stamps along with greetings perfect for friendship, encouragement, and celebration.

The varied scale of the flowers and leaves stamps ranges from small to large and makes this a fantastic set for building bouquets, wreaths, clusters, and more! Use the larger flowers and leaves for focal images. Sprinkle in the smaller flowers and leaves to fill in the spaces between to create a cohesive bouquet or wreath!

The base for the circle easel card is made of two connected scalloped circles. To connect the scalloped circles, I cut a piece of Tahitian Tide cardstock and folded it in half, then I placed the largest Layering Circle die on the Tahitian Tide cardstock with about 1/8" of the die above the fold, and ran it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.

Moving the topmost edge of the scalloped circle die above the fold line means that the area that the die is not touching the cardstock will not be cut.

A second scalloped circle is die cut and adhered to one of the card base scallop circles to make the easel stand up.

 
Below are the measurements and supplies to recreate this Simply Fabulous Circle Easel Card.

Measurements

• Card Base: 4-1/4" x 8"; scored at 4" (Tahitian Tide Cardstock)
• Scalloped Circle: 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" (Tahitian Tide Cardstock)
• Circles: 5" x 2-3/4" (Basic White Cardstock) - cut 2 of the 2-3/8" circles from this piece of cardstock and cut 1 of them in half
• Stopper: 2" x 3"

Supplies

#159133 Simply Fabuous Stamp Set
#159261 Tahitian Tide Cardstock
#102283 Versamark Watermark Ink Pad
#147052 Flirty Flamingo Ink Pad
#147094 Daffodil Delight Ink Pad
#147095 Granny Apple Green Ink Pad
#147051 Melon Mambo Ink Pad

A circle easel card makes a great display card. I chose "You are simply fabulous" for the greeting on this circle easel card. It is a kind reminder that we are fabulous too! It can be easy to focus more on the care of others and forget to care for and appreciate yourself too. This card could be a visual reminder that you are simply fabulous too!

I hope you give this circle easel a card and make one for each of your best friends! I think you will really enjoy stamping with the Simply Fabulous stamp set! If you need supplies to make this card, please, shop my online store HERE.

Stamped and Sponged Beauty of Friendship Card

There are some times when we need encouragement or support in trying or difficult times. I created this card as a thinking of you and support card for those times. I was inspired by the beautiful trees and the bright sunny days that we have been having lately and how much joy a warm sunny day brings me. 

Looking up at the sky, seeing the trees circled around me and the sun above seemed like kind friends. The inside of the card is stamped with a tree in the lower left corner, leaving room for a comforting message.

The looking up at the tree and sun scene is created by first stamping the tree leaves and tree trunk images around the edges of the 2nd Mat. I knew where I wanted to place the sun, so I was careful to leave plenty of room for the sun.

Next I created a mask and a reverse mask for the sun. I used a piece of Basic White cardstock and die cut the 2nd smallest stitched circle from it. I kept both the circle die cut and the piece of cardstock. The piece of cardstock with the circle cut out of it will become the mask. I used a blending brush to sponge So Saffron ink through the mask to make a sun shape.

Then I removed the mask and replaced it with the reverse mask - the circle die cut. I added the tiniest bit of Stampin' Seal adhesive to the back of the circle die cut to temporarily attach the circle die cut to the 2nd Mat. The circle die cut will keep the ink from covering the sun area while I sponged the sky.

I lightly added Tahitian Tide ink to a blending brush and applied it to the 2nd Mat in a swirling motion. I left some areas with patches of the white cardstock showing through to give the idea of sunlight shining through a whisper of clouds.

The greeting with stamped on a piece of Basic White cardstock and added to the lower right corner of the 2nd Mat. The 2nd Mat was adhered to the center of the 1st Mat and then to the card front.

You can use sticky note paper or computer paper in place of the Basic White cardstock for the mask and reverse mask. I had cut an extra circle for another project that I ended up not using, so it was right next to me on my desk.

Below are the measurements and supply list for this stamped and sponged Beauty of Friendship card.

Measurements

• Card Base: 4-1/4" x 11"; scored at 5-1/2" (Thick Basic White Cardstock)
• 1st Mat: 4" x 5-1/4" (Early Espresso Cardstock)
• 2nd Mat: 3-5/8" x 4-7/8" (Basic White Cardstock)
• Greeting: 1/2" x 1-3/4" (Basic White Cardstock)

A Little Hello from Me to You

Today's thinking of you card features the leaves image from the Uniquely Artistic stamp set (#158935) in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. I created vertical columns of the leaves in four shades of green - Garden Green, Shaded Spruce, Old Olive, and Pear Pizzazz and added a greeting from the Pansy Patch stamp set (#154999). I randomly picked a spot on the cardstock, stamped a leaf image in Old Olive ink, and added another old olive leaves images above and below the first image. Then I filled in the rest of the Basic White cardstock with the other colors of green ink, rotating the stamp as needed to form the vertical columns.

I received the Uniquely Artistic stamp set as a prize for attending OnTour in April. OnTour is a Stampin' Up! demonstrators' event where demonstrators get to preview the catalog before it goes live to customers. It is usually held around April and previews the next Annual Catalog. 

This year OnTour was held virtually on Zoom. Stampin' Up! Staff members and demonstrators shared different cards and projects showcasing the new stamps, papers, and embellishments from the annual catalog. We were also able to meet new demonstrators during our break out networking sessions. It was so much fun to see new stamping products and meet new friends! OnTour is one of our yearly events that I look forward to as a demonstrator!

Sending Healing Thoughts with Nature's Harvest Bundle

Sympathy cards are one of the most challenging cards for me. The loss of a loved one is often one of the most heart breaking times in our lives. I do not want to make light of the situation or cause any further grief, but I want to show how much I care for and support the person who is grieving.

Card decorations and choosing a color palette is difficult for me when designing a card for the loss of a loved one. I feel it should be simple in decoration but tasteful and respectful.

I chose a simple color palette of blues and white to convey a feeling of peace and restfulness and was furthered by the Nature's Harvest greeting stamp.

Below are the measurements and supplies to recreate this Nature's Harvest sympathy card.

 

Measurements

• Card Base: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2"; scored at 4-1/4" (Balmy Blue Cardstock)

• 2nd Mat: 2-3/4" x 3-1/2" (Basic White Cardstock)
• Greeting: 1" x 4-1/2" (Balmy Blue Cardstock)
• Inside Mat: 4" x 5-1/4" (Basic White Cardstock)

Rainbow of Happiness Pop-Up Card

Today's card is a simple pop-up card featuring the Rainbow of Happiness stamp set and die bundle. This is a card that I created for my demonstrator team's April meeting. Each month between our demonstrator team meetings, I like to send demonstrator team members an envelope with the project pieces, basic instructions, and a photograph. 

 

 

Team members can assemble the card and embellish it using their favorite stamps, ribbons, and gems. Then we share what we have created at our next team meeting. Everyone's cards use the same card base but are decorated differently. It is super fun to see everyone's unique interpretation, design choices, and embellishments. It never ceases to amaze me how creative they are!

 

The pop-up mechanism is a piece of #155426 Pattern Party Designer Series Paper folded in half and cut to create a small platform for your die cuts and embellishments to sit on. Pattern Party Designer Series Paper is a beautiful, colorful gigantic pack of Designer Series Paper that you can earn as a host or by placing a qualifying customer or demonstrator order. There are 48 total sheets of 12 double-sided patterns! One side is black and white with floral or geometric patterns, and the other side has bolder, more vibrant patterns.

 

 

I used fellow demonstrator Mary Deatherage's pop-up mechanism cutting dimensions for today's card. However, you can customize the pop-up platform to be wider or narrower depending on the size of the die cut you are using. The remaining measurements and design are my own.

The pop-up platform is a rectangle cut and scored from the center of the designer series paper. The die cut sits on the front of the pop-up platform. The designer series paper is attached to the top and the bottom of the inside of the card base, creating the mechanism and causing the die cut to pop-up when the card is opened.

 

This pop-up fun fold looks more difficult than it really is and is such an unexpected surprise! I am really looking forward to seeing how the demonstrator team decorates their pop-up cards!

Pop-Up Card Measurements

• Card Base: 4-1/4" x 11"; scored at 5-1/2"
• Pop-Up Mechanism: 4-1/8" x 10-3/4"; scored at 5-3/8". Folded in half and cut according to the diagram below.

May Good Things Grow Center Stair Card

Spring weather and spring flowers have been on my mind these last few days. It has been so cold and dreary here! I cannot wait until spring when the ground begins to warm, the flowers and plants are beginning to push through the dirt, and all thoughts of snow are a distant memory. Today's card is a springtime center stair fun fold card using the Dragonfly Garden stamp set.

 

The wildflower stamp is my favorite stamp in this set! I love the echinacea flowers and the little daisy-like flowers! The stamp reminds me of a sketch you would see in a natural field notebook or from a botanist. 

 

Dragonfly Garden Center Stair Card Measurements
	Paper	Dimensions
Card Base	Old Olive Cardstock	8-1/2” x 5-1/2”; see template for scoring guide
Center Panel Mat	Basic White Cardstock	4” x 2-3/4”
Dragonfly	Old Olive Cardstock	1” x 1”
Inside Mat	Very Vanilla Cardstock	3” x 5-1/4”

 

 

There are many ways to arrange the front of this fun fold. I chose the center panel as the focal point and made the center panel layer extend down the card front in order to highlight the long wildflower image. You could also cut cardstock layers for the sides and for the bottom instead of stamping them.

 

 

Here is a view of the center stair card from the side. The stair shape is easier to see from this angle. This card stands up on its own very well, making this fun fold a great display card option! I can see this fun fold would make a great get well card, birthday, or Christmas card to display by the bedside, on a table, or on a mantel!

 

 

On the inside of the card, I repeated the wildflower image, leaving plenty of room to write a sweet message of encouragement to a loved one!

 

 

On the close up of the inside of the card, you can see the soft texture that the watercolor pencils bring to this delicate wildflower image!  

 Check out the step-by-step video tutorial below!

 

I hope you give this sweet wildflower center stair card a try! I would love to see what you create! Email me a photo of your center stair card, and I may feature your project in my next newsletter!

Thanks for stopping by!
