Here are a few details/features of my card:

  • I used Stampin’ Up! Silver Foil Sheets to die cut the gears piece. It makes such a great background.
  • I embossed the Night of Navy Card Stock with the Sublte Embossing Folder before using the Stitched Rectangle Framelits to create a frame.
  • I used a piece of the 6 x 6 Daffodil Delight Designer Series Paper (available in the Brights Collection package) as a background paper.
  • I used Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends to color the car.
  • The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Greetings. It’s punched with the Classic Label Punch and then trimmed to fit in the corner.
  • I finished the card off with a piece of Night of Navy Baker’s Twine.

Please let me know if you have questions. I’d be glad to help! Be sure to visit all of the other stampers on the hop today!

#simplestamping Challenge

#simplestamping/Stampin' Up! Lovely as a Tree

#simplestamping/Stampin’ Up! Lovely as a Tree

Hello Stampers!

For the last several months, Stampin’ Up! has issued a #simplestamping challenge. This month, the challenge calls for us to create a card using just rubber stamps, ink, and paper featuring a retiring stamp set.

I used Lovely as a Tree as my focal point. This stamp set has been in Stampin’ Up!’s catalog longer than any other set — since 2001. It officially retires June 3 and won’t be available through Stampin’ Up! It’s a staple for the card-maker’s shelf as it lends itself well to a lot of different occasions. I added a sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings, which WILL be available in the upcoming catalog.

This card uses the double-time stamping technique. The Whisper White Thick Card Stock base measures 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 inches and is folded in half. The Night of Navy piece measures 3 1/4 x 3 inches. The Whisper White center piece measures 3 inches x 2 3/4 inches. To achieve this effect, you place the small white piece on top of the base and stamp your image across both pieces. You then layer the smaller piece onto the Night of Navy layer (sponge fist) and then add it to the card base. Add your sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by today. If you love Lovely as a Tree, be sure to place an order for it before June 3. Clock on any of the graphics below to be taken directly to my online store. Let me know if you have questions about this card or any other stamping technique.

So Long to Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper

Gingham Gala and Delightful Daisy

Gingham Gala and Delightful Daisy

Hello Stampers!

If i was forced to choose a favorite product from Stampin’ Up!’s Occasions Catalog, I think I would choose the 6 x 6 Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper. This paper pack — featuring Daffodil Delight, Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist, Grapefruit Grove, and Balmy Blue — is just perfect for a variety of cards and projects. Here, I used the Daisy Punch to create the daisies from  the Gingham Gala paper.

It’s important to note that this great paper won’t be available after June 3 (or while supplies last). It’s only $11 for 40 sheets of paper.

Other fun elements included on this card include the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies, the greeting from Itty Bitty Birthdays, and the Subtles Embossing Folder.

Thanks for stopping by today. Please let me know if you have questions about this card or other projects. Click on the graphics below to be taken directly to my online store where you can purchase the ingredients used to make this birthday card.

So Long to Letters for You

Stampin' Up! Letters for You

Stampin’ Up! Letters for You

Hello Stampers!

Wow! It’s already time for graduation and graduation parties! Stampin’ Up!’s Letters for You stamp set works perfectly to create a card for that special graduate. And, with the 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper stacks, you can customize your card to the school colors. This card uses Call Me Clover to coordinate with Southwest High School here in Lincoln, Nebraska.

It’s important to know that this alphabet stamp set is retiring, and it won’t be available to purchase after June 3 (or while supplies last). The background Designer Series Paper (from the In Color stack), is also retiring. Click on any of the graphic below to be taken directly to my online store where you can purchase these items before they’re gone.

The “congratulations” sentiment comes from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set, and it is punched with the Classic Label Punch. I layered the big “grad” sentiment on a piece of Silver Foil Paper.

Thanks for stopping by today. Please let me know if you have any questions about this card or other stamping projects. I’d love to help!
