But remember these Sale-a-Bration items are only available while supplies last.  Already they are out of TWO choices in the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  The Rings of Love 12" DSP and the Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam cards & envelopes.  So if you have something from the SAB catalog on your wish list; get it soon!  

 

Hippos Amanda Save

What an amazing scene Amanda created here!  So many details!  I especially appreciate that she colored her hippo in Pool Party; who says they have to be gray?

Her background is made with the Rays of Light stamp seen here.  The rest is all Sale-a-Bration items.  Her colors include Pool Party, White, Crumb Cake & Crushed Curry

She stamped the greeting from Amazing Phrases and fussy cut it, placing it between 'waves'. She added Wink of Stella to her water.  The little splashes of water & the life preserver truly make this scene complete!

One of my favorites was made by Gwen.  The way she added ribbon for a 'towel' on the silver/metal tub is genius!!

Hippos Kelly Save

Kelly created a cute scene mostly with the Hippo dies.  Her colors are Smoky Slate, Real Red & Balmy Blue.  The little water splash die-cuts add motion to the scene!

Mary, one of my Flowerbug team members, made this cute card for her Card Club this month. She used a blending Brush with Flirty Flamingo ink for a soft background.  The lights and bow at the top are from the Tree Lot dies in the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  See them here.

Hippos Amy Save

This cute card was made by Amy Storrie.  I love the sunglasses!  The other neat thing she did was to use the Hippo dies along with the Stitched Circle in the Beautiful Shapes dies so they match up perfectly!  Her Designer Paper is the Cottage Gingham in the Holiday catalog.  

You can see the Hippest Hippos stamp set here and the Hippo dies here.  Get them both free with a $100 online order and you'll also receive my free July cards kit!  Offer good through Saturday, July 30th.

  • Sweet Songbirds bundle with our newest Stampin’ Up! In Colors

    For my In Color display board I made these 5 cards with the new Sweet Songbirds stamp set & punch bundle.

    These colors are so vibrant and striking; they are a wonderful addition to our Stampin' Up! color line.  

    I used this sketch for inspiration.  I find card sketches can be one of the easiest ways to create and design a card.

    The squares of In Color Designer Paper are  2 1/4" and the White layers are 2 1/2".  The greeting strips are 5/8" X 4 1/4".

    The sweet birds are stamped in each In Color and punched out with the Bird punch.  I punched the wings from our In Color Glimmer Ombre paper.

  • Nature’s Prints 5 sheet wonder; these 5 templates make creating so easy!

    It's been awhile since I made a group of cards with my 5 sheet wonder templates.  The Nature's Prints stamp set was a perfect choice for it.  

    And playing with three of our newest In Colors paired with Navy & White helped create these beautiful cards. 

    Nature's Prints cards Save

    I'm holding a class on Wednesday, May 25th at 6 pm here in Minot, ND for my local customers. RSVP to attend by May 22nd. You can see my PDF tutorial on my shop here.  I am not offering it as a kit to go at this time. 

    I chose the new colors of Starry Sky, Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis to start with.  I needed a 4th color and wanted to stick with the blues and greens so I added Navy to the mix.  

    My greetings and images are all from the Nature's Prints stamp set seen here.  

    How do my 5 sheet wonder templates work?  Here are the steps:

    1. Choose at least 4 colors of ink and card stock for your cards.  
    2. Choose a stamp set that has a variety of images, from large to small. It helps if they are non directional (okay stamped in different directions). 
    3. Print out Template A on White CS and stamp the non printed side with the images and inks you chose creating your own paper. *You could use DSP but you'll want to print on the reverse side. Here is mine below: 

    Nature's Prints cards Save

    3. Turn the stamped piece over and cut on the printed lines.  (I print my card stock with a printer but if your printer will not work with card stock you can have a copy place print them for you.  Or just use the template measurements as a guide. 

    4. You'll also print templates B-E on four other colors of card stock.  Cut on the printed lines (you'll use the reverse side for your cards).  

    5. You'll need 10 card bases in the colors you chose.  Place them on the table and add all of the cut pieces over each card base.  Tip; Use contrasting colors.  If there are many dark pieces I use a light card base and if there are mostly light pieces like the examples below, I'll use a dark card base.

    6.  Now you'll assemble the cards using my finished samples as a guide. 

    7.  You'll stamp your greetings using a variety of punched or die-cut pieces and finish your cards, adding ribbon or gems as desired.  

    Easy, no measuring cards that are BEAUTIFUL and multi-layered.  You can see my 5 sheet wonder PDF tutorial here on my Shop site.  The PDF tutorial includes multiple card and color examples.

  • An easy double flap fun fold layout with Pretty Prints DSP. A video, measurements and a gift card option!

    I love fun fold cards that stay closed AND are easy for the recipient to figure out.  This double flap fancy fold card is just that!

    We made them on Monday night's Stamp with Me Live.  You can watch the video here.

    These cards feature the Pretty Prints designer paper seen here.  It's NEW in the 2022-23 Stampin' Up! Annual catalog.  There are multiple prints all in these 4 colors – Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay and Evening Evergreen.

    I used two stamp sets here; both new in the new Annual catalog.  Good Feelings seen here and Botanical Layers seen here.

    One of my favorite things about this fun fold layout is that you can choose to fold or trim it off at the 1 1/2" mark.  Folding it inside creates a pocket for a gift card.  Trimming it off shortens it.  Your choice!  Or make a few of each like I did.

    The die-cut butterflies from Brilliant Wings dies add a pretty touch to these botanical cards. The lower butterfly is added just beyond the outside corner flap to anchor it closed.  So easy and keeps the card laying flat.
