Wish a good friend sunshine and happiness

Are you ready for a super fun bundle AND a free pack of paper that you can qualify to get? Then have a look at the Honey Bee bundle. 

Honey Bee Bundle
$41.25

 

 

 

 

This bundle is so much fun to craft with; every card I have made makes me smile. It doesn't matter whether your style is clean and simple or you like lots of layers and embellishments, this bundle fits everyone's style.

And between now and 31 March you can earn the coordinating Golden Honey paper for FREE:

Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper
$0.00

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love every sheet of paper in this pack and I can't often say that. There is a fun technique you can do with one of the designs - link over to my other blog post that shows you this technique. 

Today's card layout is one that I haven't turned to in a long time but it is a goodie. When I first started stamping I used this layout a lot. I think it is the perfect layout for featuring bold designer series paper patterns or patterned paper that you don't want to cover up. 

I designed and created this card to send to a good friend who lives far away from me. I wanted to wish her sunshine and happiness and what better way to do this but with the Honey Bee bundle.

Hint: see the full set of instructions under the card photo!

How to offer the power of hope for your best friend

Sometimes you just want to let a friend know that you care, and to give her hope for some struggles (health or otherwise) she is going through. The Power of Hope bundle has lovely sentiments and images that can help you do just that. In today's video I introduce the Power of Hope bundle and show you one card idea that has a somewhat unique layout. 

Power Of Hope Bundle
$0.00

 

 

 

 

First, let's have a look at this bundle. Power of Hope is offered through Stampin' Up!s Sale-a-Bration, a promotion that is on until 31st March. You can earn the Power of Hope bundle with a $100 product order. So gather your friends, stock up on card stock and other needed supplies; earn the bundle for free and share it around. 

I especially love the Stone 3D embossing folder which is part of this bundle. I see so many uses for it - it is versatile enough to coordinate with other sets and would also be fun to use when memory keeping. 

This week's layout is a bit different too. I layered the image and phrase and then layered them again with each other. This creates a unique visual look. As I said in my video, instead of using Watercolor Pencils you can also color using your Stampin' Blends and Blender Pens and ink pads. It depends on how bright you want the colors to be. 

Here's my card and video:

Power of Hope Friendship card

Isn't that such a beautiful phrase? If you don't know where this comes from, have a look a the Power of Hope bundle - which is FREE with a $100 order:

Power Of Hope Bundle
$0.00

 

 

 

 

Not only do I love the images and phrases in this set, I love the Stone 3D embossing folder that is part of the bundle. I see so many uses for the embossing folder, well beyond the Power of Hope stamp set.

Recently I saw a Power of Hope card idea online and that card gave me the inspiration for my card today. I chose Real Red as my accent color because of the Asian feel to the stamp set. Plus red symbolisms good luck and one of phrases could be used for engagements, weddings, a new job and more.

How to let stamps become the focus on your cards

I have such a fun technique to share with you today and I hope that you will try it using the products you have on hand. I particularly like that the products used are from the Annual Catalog - with all the excitement about Sale-a-Bration and the release of the new Mini Catalog we can't forget the Annual Catalog gathering dust on your crafting shelf!

The stamping technique used on today's card puts the focus on stamps and the finished look makes it seem like the pattern is actually a designer series paper pattern!

The card uses a stamp from the Tropical Chick stamp set (page 93 Annual Catalog):

Tropical Chic Cling-Mount Stamp Set
$22.00

 

 

These images are really fun and have so many uses, including memory keeping pages and 3D projects. And even better, there is a set of coordinating dies:

Tropical Dies
$27.00

 

For today's card you can set the dies aside and choose the stamp that you love best. Get out your Black ink pad (I recommend Tuxedo Black as it doesn't smear) and stamp away. 

Tip: Keep enough white space around each image to add contact and visual appeal. And remember to stamp the images partly off the Whisper White layer to make it look like designer paper. 

The instructions under the card photo will walk you through step-by-step how to make this card. Enjoy!

What would you do with this odd challenge?

What an odd Paper Craft Crew card map challenge this week. At least that's what came to my mind when I saw it. 

As much as I try to stay true to our weekly challenges, this one didn't feel 'right' to me. I couldn't bring myself to splatter stamp three different colors on a card base but admittedly I could have but just didn't want to. 

And then I spotted a left over piece of the Peaceful Poppies designer series paper:

Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper
$11.50

 

 

 

 

 

I thought to myself: technically this pattern has lots of different colors in it, and there are sort of mini splatters too....can you figure out which sheet it is? 

So I decided to go rogue and use this paper on my Poppy Parade card base and create a fun element on top using the Painted Poppies bundle:

Painted Poppies Bundle
$52.00

 

 

 

 

This card was super easy to create and I do love to color using my Stampin' Blends - silly but I feel like an artist when I use the blends. 

The final bit of the challenge was the 'black' strip across the front. I could have used a plain black piece. I could have created a phrase strip. But then I saw the banner die in the Painted Poppies bundle and decided to use that as my strip. I could have made a Basic Black banner but again, went for something outside my comfort zone: I used Poppy Parade!

I do like my card, do you?

You need to try this unusual layout idea

Every once in a while I like to try a brand new layout idea, just to keep the creative juices flowing. Are you the same? Recently I spotted a layout with a rounded layer and decided to give it a try. I thought that a bold piece of designer series paper would make a lovely layer idea and really be one of the main focal points on the card. 

I dug through my paper stash and spotted a sheet of the Perennial Essence paper:

Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper
$11.50

 

 

 

One of my favorite Stampin' Up! colors is Blackberry Bliss, and this color is in the Perennial Essence paper. So the decision for my card base was made! Making the circular shape for the base of the card was not easy but I managed using a dinner plate, pencil and paper snips - the old fashioned way! 

After choosing a bold design for my layer I needed something equally as bold for the embellishments. So I stamped two poppies from the Painted Poppies bundle and colored them using my BlackBerry Bliss Stampin' Blends. Easy!

Here's my card, along with a set of instructions underneath. Take a breath and try this circular layer using your bold paper designs. 

 

Supplies:

• Stamp Sets – Painted Poppies bundle (151599); Sending You Thoughts (152297)
• Card Stock – Blackberry Bliss (133675); Whisper White (100730)
• Stamp Pads – Mossy Meadow (14711)
• Misc. – Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper (DSP) (149100); Blackberry Bliss Combo Stampin’ Blends (147932); Stampin’ Dimensionals (104330); SNAIL Adhesive (104332); Whisper White ¼” Crinkled Seam Binding (151326); Paper Snips (103579)

Measurements:  

• Blackberrry Bliss: 8 1/2” x 5 1/2”                      
• Whisper White: 5” x 3”
• Perennial Essence: 6” x 4 ½”
• Whisper White Seam Binding: 15”

Instructions:

1. Create Blackberrry Bliss card base.
2. Using circle template (or bowl) create Perennial Essence rounded layer. Cut out using Paper Snips. Attach to card base using SNAIL Adhesive.
3. Ink phrase using Mossy Meadow ink. Die-cut using Painted Poppies die.
4. Ink flower images using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamp onto Whisper White card stock. Color with Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends. Die-cut using Painted Poppies dies.
5. Adhere phrase to card front using SNAIl.
6. Attach Poppies to card front using SNAIL and Stampin’ Blends.
7. Color Whisper White Seam Binding using Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blend.
8. Wrap colored ribbon around card front and tie knot to secure.

We are wildly happy about your new little one

In today's card and video tutorial, I am going to show you how to make a super sweet baby card idea. It's that time of year to start thinking about all those new little ones that are going to be coming into the world in the next few months so let's make a card to celebrate their birth. I am going to use the Wildly Happy stamp set and I will combine it with the new Stone 3D embossing folder!

Wildly Happy Cling Stamp Set
$21.00

 

 

 

 

I think the Wildly Happy stamp set is one of the best ever for baby cards. The images are so sweet and the line art images mean that you can colors them with your favorite coloring tools. 

What makes this card really special is that I paired the stamp set with the Stone 3D embossing folder, that is bundled with the Power of Hope stamp set - a FREE Sale-a-Bration choice with a qualifying order:

Power Of Hope Bundle
$0.00

 

 

 

 

I was inspired for my card by an idea that another demonstrator created. Her card looks completely different from mine below but when I saw her use the Stone embossing folder on her Wildly Happy card, I got today's idea - don't you love how seeing what someone else has created can spark a new idea for you? 

I decided to keep my card very monochromatic using Smoky Slate as my base color - it made me think of the color of an elephant and how the elephant's skin looks similar to the Stone 3D folder. 

Here's how to make my card, along with a video tutorial. Don't miss the extra tips on my video!

Wildly Happy baby card

Have you ever made this funny mistake?

I shouldn't even admit this but it's funny - or not funny. Let me start with my backgrounders story to help you understand why this happened.

A couple of weeks ago I decided that I was going to start scrapbooking again. I really miss capturing my memories and even thought I doubt that I will every share my scrapbooks with anyone, they are a record of my life. And that's important to me. 

I am very fortunate to have a job that takes me all over the world. There have been so many amazing place that I have visited that I decided to do something with all the photos I have been gathering in the past few years. I know that with time I will forget some of these memories so decided to get back to a crafting hobby that I really loved. 

So I decided to purchase a photo printer so that I can't use the lack of photos or time to get them printed as my excuse. And I will just scrapbook in my free time and enjoy doing it. 

I also wanted to use some of my crafting supplies on my pages - as they were also gathering dust which is a shame. So spurred to make my first page in a year or more, I chose two photos from a recent trip. As there are leaves in one of the photos I decided that my base page would have leaves stamped all over it using the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and Versamark ink:

Good Morning Magnolia Cling Stamp Set
$36.00

 

 

 

I saw a scrapbook page map on Pinterest that I loved that would give me guidance:

I used the colors in my photos for the banners layers and the only thing I was struggling with was the title. 

And then I remembered that I have the Lined Alphabet stamp set!

Lined Alphabet Photopolymer Stamp Set
$34.00

 

 

 

 

So I created my title using the Lined Alphabet stamp set and colored each letter to match my banner colors.

The final touch was adding my photos and some matching sequins and my page was done!

And it was two days later when I realized: this it NOT Barcelona! This is Geneva!!! Oh my gosh. Now what!

Have you ever made this funny mistake?

 

How many ways can you think of?

Today's Paper Craft Crew card map challenge is a wish - for Spring!!! The weather this winter has been quite miserable - cold, windy and wet. So it is time to turn our thoughts and crafting towards Spring and what better way to do so than with this challenge:

So. Flowers. If you are like me you likely have a ton of floral stamp sets and designer paper patters that you already own. As the Mini Catalog was launched I immediately fell in love with the Peaceful Poppies suite on pages 24 - 27 of the catalog. 

If you don't have a copy of this catalog yet, click on the photo on the right side of this page to download a copy to your device. 

There is one sheet of paper in the Peaceful Poppies paper pack that is a bit of a challenge. Can you figure out which sheet? (hint: it's the top sheet in the photo below)

Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper
$11.50

 

 

 

 

Recently, I did a Facebook Live showing you what to do with this particular design, along with three card ideas using it. And although all three cards suite today's challenge, I chose my favorite to share with you today. 

This card was super easy! Layer the Peaceful Poppies paper, die-cut the phrase and an extra piece of Basic Black for the layer, stamp the leaf image all over the Old Olive card base (using Versamark) and the card is done! Don't miss the 5 Peaceful Poppies Sequins for a touch of bling. 

If you have this paper pack, give my idea for cutting this sheet a try and see what you can create at home. If you want to see what the other design crew members created using today's card map challenge, click here and then search for PCC370.

Did you know these products were on my first Mini Catalog order? From the moment I saw them I knew they were coming over to play with me. (hehe)

You can't really see it well in the photo below but I used the splatter stamp and Versamark ink on the Poppy Parade layer for added interest and can you also see the Peaceful Poppies Sequins? 

Here's my card and don't miss the video underneath the list of supplies and measurements.

You need to see my fun Honey Bee discovery!

I am so happy that I purchased the Honey Bee bundle (page 30 Mini Catalog) because I am having a blast creating projects using it!

Honey Bee Bundle
$41.25

 

 

 

What makes this bundle extra special for me is the elements in the dies and the flowers in the stamp set - each can add a special touch to your cards and flowers can be colored to match any paper or coordinating products you want to use. 

When Sale-a-Bration started this year, I was so excited that there is a coordinating pack of paper for this bundle! Have you seen the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper? 

Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper
$0.00

 

 

 

 

 

Any time that you see the word 'specialty' in the title of a paper pack you should know that there is something unique added to the designs. In this case it is the Gold Foil accents on one side of each design. You can see that the price shows that this paper is FREE with a $50 order (€60 in Europe)!

What was a fun surprise for me is a discovery I made using the 'honey comb' die. When you die-cut the honey comb, save the bits that you poke out, because they fit perfectly inside one of the Golden Honey paper designs!

This clean and simple card designed was inspired by a much more detailed card I saw online. Using that card as my staring point my idea took off! I stamped two bees and then the third I die-cut and popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals. I added three of the little popped out bits from the honeycomb die as my accents. Easy peasy!

I hope you will give my discovery a try! It's easy to earn the Golden Honey paper for free: 

• order the Honey Bee bundle
• add the Memento Tuxedo black ink to the order ($6)
• add a pack of Daffodil Delight paper to the order ($8.75)
• and BINGO you have earned the Golden Honey paper for free!

Come on back soon to see more project ideas using the Honey Bee bundle. And if you want to see two other card ideas, check out my Facebook Live video here!

Why not send a heartfelt Valentine to someone special

This is the final week to purchase your favorite Valentines products so that they arrive in time for Valentine's Day. I have such a cute Heartfelt project idea to share with you so that when your new products arrive you can rustle up a card idea in the blink of an eye. 

What I like about these products is that they can be used beyond Valentines. Think: wedding, love, engagement, affection - on cards, scrapbook pages, journals, baby projects, 3D items and more. 

Heartfelt Bundle (English)
$45.75

 

 

 

 

The punches in the Heartfelt bundle can also be used on the newly released Pleased as Punch paper:

Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper
$11.50

 

 

 

 

 

Today's card is clean and simple but doesn't really look it with the embellishments and arrows. 

 

Did you notice that the arrows are stamped? No fussy cutting them out! The heart doilies are not die-cut either - you can purchase a pack of them and make several different 'love card' ideas. Don't you just love the color combo too: Flirty Flamingo and Cherry Cobbler (yum!).
