Counting Sheep Card Samples

Counting Sheep Card Samples

I told myself that it’s OK to have a purple sheep!

It’s exciting that Stampin’ Up! offers TWO Sale-A-Bration sales this year. It gives the ability two times each year to earn FREE product with qualifying purchases of $50 and $100. You choose from exclusive stamp sets, Designer Series Paper, and die cuts. I love these 10 offerings and can’t wait to show you projects in upcoming posts. Sale-A-Bration starts today — Tuesday, August 3, 2021 — and runs through September 30, 2021.

Today, I’m sharing a few cards created with the Counting Sheep stamp set and Sheep Dies. (Just a note: the Sheep Dies are available while supplies last. If they are a must-have for you, get them sooner rather than later. Free with a $50 purchase before tax and shipping.) Click here to see a PDF of the Sale-A-Bration brochure.

This layout reflects one I’ve used for two other cards recently. It’s fun to see the same design but with different products and themes. See one post here.

Hats Off Card Samples

Hats Off Card Samples

So many fun ways to personalize the great baseball cap image found in Stampin’ Up!’s Hats Off Bundle. Today’s post shows you how I combined the Hats Off and Spiral Dye stamp sets to create a unique hat with a feminine touch.

Be sure to watch the video below for instructions. (Also, look at the swap cards I received on the Maui Incentive Trip.)

This card takes two steps. First, complete the first two-step process used to create the fun, multi-colored Spiral Dye image. This post contains a video and a card sample. I used the new 2021-2023 In Colors of Pale Papaya and Fresh Freesia.

Stamp the hat image with Memento ink onto your completed Spiral Dye image. When using a 5 1/4 x 4 inch piece of card stock, you get two hat images. Die cut the hat with either the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine or the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Add a “label” or a “crest” to your hat.

Here’s another card that uses the smaller hat die from this set.

Think of all the different ways you can personalize the hat!

Spiral Dye Birthday Card

Spiral Dye Birthday Card

“On trend” accurately describes the new offerings in Stampin’ Up!’s 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. Each year, the designers diligently research what’s in and what’s not. The colors and designs come to life in the form of new rubber stamps, ink, papers, and more. 

The tie dye scene is back, and I see it all over in an array of clothing items and more. The new Spiral Dye background stamp offers a fun way to replicate this fun and colorful look on paper. Find the cling stamp on page 118. It sells for $17.

I used it to create the focal point for birthday cards. This technique works best with a Stamparatus. Align your paper on the Stamparatus. I used the Basic White. Ink your stamp with your first color and stamp onto the cardstock. Clean the stamp (I use Simply Shammy). Turn the stamped card stock 180-degrees. Ink the stamp with another coordinating color. Stamp the image on top of your already stamped piece. The result is a fun design. (FYI: I used Fresh Freesia and Pale Papaya.)

I created the sentiment with the Happy Thoughts stamp set (January-June 2021 Mini Catalog) and the Tasteful Labels Dies. In addition, I used the Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon and the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels.

New Catalog Debuts Tuesday, May 4, 2021

Ombre Gift Bags

Tuesday, May 4, 2021, can’t come soon enough! Stampin’ Up!’s new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog debuts that day! My wish list is long.

New Annual Catalog Debuts Tuesday, May 4, 2021

As a demonstrator, I was able to preorder from a selected list of products. This list included these In Color Ombre Gift Bags (get twenty bags — four each of five colors — for $6). They feature Stampin’ Up!’s brand-new 2021-2023 In Colors (from left): Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Polished Pink, Evening Evergreen, and Fresh Freesia.

In addition, I:

  • used the Brilliant Wings Dies to die cut coordinating butterflies from the new 2021-2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum. This stuff is gorgeous! I am in love! (Purchase the stamp set and dies as a bundle and save 10 percent.)
  • stamped the bags with the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set;
  • embellished with the coordinating Open Weave Ribbon; and
  • added an embellishment from the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels.

Hint: I used the Stamparatus to stamp the image on the bags. This allowed me to stamp the whole stack in a short period of time.
