Counting Sheep with the Give it a Whirl dies interactive card

August 23, 2021

We made this adorable card at my August card clubs this month. It features the new Counting Sheep & the Sheep dies from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.

Plus it's a view-master card! Remember those? The Give it a Whirl dies (seen here) on page 163 of the annual catalog are incredible! I was hesitant to even try using these dies because I thought it would be so complicated to figure out. But I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and intuitive they are to use. Stampin' Up! really did these up smart!

Please watch my video below to catch my quick tips for a successful view-master card.

The colors here are Pale Papaya, Balmy Blue, White, Crumb Cake & Granny Apple Green. We created a background using the Blending Brushes with Balmy Blue & Granny Apple Green ink.

***Heads up on the Sheep dies – Stampin' Up! has a limited supply of these and does expect to run out before Sale-a-Bration is over. So if you're wanting both the stamp set & dies, get the dies first!

Details:

Sheep dies include the fence, balloons and the sheep
Give it a Whirl dies – stitched view-master sponged layer, the scalloped circle, clouds, window & stars
I cut the scalloped circle piece from thick White CS since it would get a lot of activity
You will need brads & Stampin' Dimensionals for this card to work

I used light Petal Pink and Gray Granite blends to color the sheep.

And below is the video; this card is so fun!

Inlaid technique video with Mountain View!

February 28, 2020
This gorgeous card was one of our January Card Club projects. Of course I love the colors of Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock.

I cased the idea from Cheryl Miller at Sense of Whimsy.

Here's how to make this pretty card.
1. First die-cut two trees from the main White panel one on the upper left and one on the lower right.
2. I sponged one of these die-cut white trees with Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple ink for the center tree.
3. Then die-cut two more trees from the Lily Impressions designer paper (free with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration).
4. Adhere the White panel to the Coastal Cabana panel and then to the main Green card base.
5. Insert the two die-cut trees into the left and right die-cut areas for an inlaid effect. (I recommend Fine Tip glue or Multipurpose adhesive)
6. There's a trick to getting this unique greeting shape with the Tailored Tag punch. I share it on the video below.
7. I used the Sending you Thoughts stamp set and heat embossed the greeting.
Watch the video below for many more tips on creating this fabulous card.

Over the Moon Fun-Fold card

February 27, 2020
My friend Marilyn made this card for a swap with her Card Club this month. Many of my Club gals swap cards every other month. They are loving this and actually 'using' their products!

It's made with the 'Over the Moon' stamp set seen here.

Save

Isn't it cute? It's a fun fold card where the front panel swings open on the bottom.

The black spots look like patterned paper but they're stamped using the 'Love What You Do' stamp set seen here. Aren't they perfect?!!!

Positive Thoughts with Nature’s Thoughts dies; stamp once but get two layers!

February 26, 2020

These pretty cards were made on one of my recent Facebook Live videos. See it here:

The Positive Thoughts stamp set is easily a big favorite from the January – June Mini catalog. And now we have dies that coordinate with it called Nature's Thoughts; see them here.

Save

I stamped both white layers at the same time; I believe this technique is called double (or triple) time stamping. After stamping I sponged the edges and used the stitched rectangle die from the Nature's Thoughts set to cut out the top layer. Next add it to the next layer before adding to your card. Easy!

Save

The colors here are Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape. See the detail on the dies here? Gorgeous!

Save

These colors are Blueberry Bushel with Bermuda Bay. I also sponged the die-cut feathers and sponged those too. That little butterfly is also from the Nature's Thoughts dies.

These dies are part of the Coordination Product Release available now; while supplies last. Here's a link to the Positive Thoughts stamp set.
