Cute Little Ladybug projects!


I created some adorable projects on my Facebook Live this week with the Little Ladybug's stamp set!  Check it out here.  Every Tuesday at 11 am CT I'm Live here.  **Although it will be on Wednesday, January 22nd next week instead.

We made them at my Flowerbug's Team meeting on Saturday too. 

The Little Ladybug stamp is found at the back of the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It's FREE with any $300 order.  Tomorrow I'll share ideas on how you can earn it yourself. 

Or place an order with me during January and get in on the prize drawing for one lucky person who will get this stamp set free!   

 

The card above on the left was made by my friend Susie Wood; it's a spinner card!  I loved it so much I had to make one.  I'll share the details on that card tomorrow and another card next week. 

I used punches to create the windows on this card from the 5 1/4" X 4" Black CS; it's really a great way to highlight your images.  Sometimes I struggle with smaller images; just what do you do with them to create a great card?! 

You could use anything in the windows; greetings, flowers, critters – the sky's the limit!  Look at your stamps in a whole new way! 

Did you notice the 'fussy cut' greetings?  I have a tip for you!  Save the paper backing on your red rubber stamps and use it as an outline to trace over your stamped greeting.  Or if you didn't save it, trace the main rubber stamp itself.  Save the template in your stamp case for repeated use.

  • Lots of Whimsical Trees card ideas; with video!


    I played with the Whimsical Trees bundle on last week's FB Live.  You can watch the video here. 

    The Whimsy & Wonder specialty paper coordinates with it too.  And it's back in stock too!  

    I kept to the colors in the Whimsy & Wonder DSP for my card projects.  Mostly Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron & Polished Pink. I made the lower left card ahead of time and the right  during the Live video.  Look at the detail on these die-cuts!  So many choices! 

    Every tree and accent was die-cut using the Whimsy & Wonder DSP, Silver foil paper & Mint Macaron CS. The tag is from the Tags & More set of dies seen here.  The embossing folder is called Wintry 3D and it comes in a pair seen here. 

    I wanted to include some silver embossing for the ornaments card and used an entire panel of the pretty Specialty Paper on the card front. I pulled in Mint Macaron & Polished Pink from the DSP and coloring to coordinate.  That's my favorite thing about Stampin' Up! – our color coordination.  No more shopping for things that match!  

    This card below is probably my favorite of the three.  I die-cut a white tree from my card front (4 3/4" X 3 1/2") and sponged it with Polished Pink ink.  Then I added a piece of designer paper behind the window and offset the sponged tree. 

    What a neat but quick Christmas card this would be!  

    The 2021-23 In Color gems add a bit of bling to the popped up tree.   The greeting is from the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set.

  • A unique but easy fun fold card; join me Live tonight!


    I do a Live video the 2nd & 4th Monday evenings focusing on using Designer Paper.  Many of us hoard it so I'm hoping to inspire you to use it!

    We're making these neat fun fold cards on FB live at 7:30 pm CT tonight. Go here to join me.

    Or see it here afterwards. 

    The right side is adhered down so only the left side of the card opens up.  It's different yet fun and simple. You will need a paper trimmer to cut the card front. 

    I chose to use the Tidings of Christmas designer series paper in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  See it here or on page 133. 

    Other products include:

    • Tidings of Christmas bundle (annual catalog pg. 89 or seen here)
    • Stitched so Sweetly dies
    • Star-crossed embossing folder
    • Holiday rhinestones

    Measurements

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" plus 1" X 4" strip for embossed layer. *To cut the front flap, cut at the 4 1/4" point to the score line. 
    • Cherry Cobbler card stock 4" square, plus 3/4" X 5" strip
    • DSP 1 7/8" squares X 4 (can be 1 3/4" also)

    • The Kit contains enough supplies to create nine treat packages—three each of three designs—and nine food-safe bags. 
    • This all-inclusive kit includes printed die cuts, die-cut boxes, cellophane treat bags, adhesive, and more!
    • Includes an exclusive stamp set and a Classic Stampin’ Spot
