Beautiful Butterflies Shaker Card

Beautiful Butterflies Shaker Card

One of my ladies’ groups asked me to help them create a shaker card. At nearly the same time, Stampin’ Up!’s Artisan Design Team showcased a quick and easy way to make a shaker card with Stampin’ Up! products. The secret ingredient is the Medium Clear Envelope. I modified the project a little bit. Today, I share the card with you. It uses the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle. Find it in the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog. Click here to see a PDF of the catalog.

Seaside Wishes Birthday Card

Seaside Wishes Birthday Card

Bring a little of the beach into your craft room with Stampin’ Up!’s Seaside Wishes Bundle. I love how lifelike the sand dollar appears when embossed and die cut. Find this bundle on page 73 of Stampin’ Up!’s new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. The bundle includes the Seaside Wishes Stamp Set and the coordinating Seaside Wishes Hybrid Embossing Folder. The hybrid folder is unique, allowing you to both emboss and die cut at the same time.

And, the good news is, during June, this bundle (and other current stamp and die bundles) are discounted an additional 10 percent. Need a die cut machine in which to use the dies? The sale also includes 10 percent off both the regular and mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machines.)

So, this month, I’ll be playing with some of the discounted bundles. Click here to see another card using this bundle and to watch a video showing how to use the hybrid folder.

Sunshine & Rainbows #simplestamping

Each month, Stampin’ Up!’ hosts a #simplestamping challenge to demonstrators. Create a handmade greeting card using just rubber stamps, ink, and paper. This month, January 2022, it calls for us to use a SaleABration product and a birthday theme. The challenge demonstrates that, as paper crafters, we can create something handmade that doesn’t require a lot of expensive equipment or products.

This card design of three equal panels allows you to showcase different pieces of the patterned paper. Just think of all the possibilities with the array of paper available today.

The card at the top showcases Stampin’ Up!’s #simplestamping. Each month, Stampin’ Up! issues a #simplestamping challenge. This month we create a handmade greeting using just rubber stamps, ink, and paper with SaleABration products. I used the coordinating colors of Poppy Parade, So Saffron, and Pacific Point to create this bright and cheery birthday card.

I paired the images from the Textures & Frames stamp set with Stampin’ Up!’s Sunny Sentiments stamp set found on page 38 of the Annual Catalog. The sentiments included in this set cover most of the occasions for which I send cards. (Be sure to watch the video at the end of this post to see how this card is created.
