Yesterday was my weekly Facebook Live where I shared 3 projects featuring the Kite Delight stamp set in the 2022 January-June mini catalog. This cute stamp set is NOT coming back in the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog.  See it here. 

I added all of the upcoming new In Colors to this card! 

The clouds are heat embossed on the Balmy Blue CS using White embossing powder.  The clouds are an outline stamp but I wanted to fill them in to look 'white'.  So I used my Chalk Marker to color them in and love the effect!  I am so sad to report that this neat Chalk Marker was on the retiring list and is already sold out.  You could use White craft ink or White chalk pastels and color it in too. 

The kite is stamped on White CS using Black Memento ink and colored in with the NEW In Color Blends markers. I fussy cut it and added to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

I stamped the sun image on a scrap of Daffodil Delight CS using Daffodil Delight ink and fussy cut it.  There is not a punch or dies to coordinate with this stamp set, but I didn't mind fussy cutting the kites or sun.  Easy to do! 

Here's a link to the video.  Or click on the photo below to watch how to make this card and two more using the Kite Delight stamp set!

  • 2 cute cards with the Pampered Pets bundle


    I featured the Playful Pets bundle when I made these two cards at Tuesday's Facebook Live this week.  This suite is absolutely adorable!  

    Here's a close up of the first card.  The texture of the new Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder is so neat.  It's subtle but still quite noticeable with a unique texture. 

    This card shows just a peak of the cute Playful Pets designer series paper between the textured layers. 

    See the paw prints on the bottom right?  That is a die in the Pets dies.  I placed a scrap of Black CS behind it to show it off.  You can see the entire Playful Pets suite here. 

    The dog is cut from the Playful Pets DSP; the Pet dies match some of the images in the paper!   I added a bit of the Playful Pets trim for a collar and a bone from the Pet Trinkets.  Below are the measurements for this card:

    • Real Red 5 ½” X 8 ½”, 1” X 5 ½”, 2 ¼” X 5 ½” textured pieces
    • 1 ¼” X 5 ½” Designer Series Paper

    Other products used: Tasteful Textile folder, Stitched Shapes and Layering Circles dies

    Below are both cards I made in the FB Live video.  Click here to see it.

    The second card is a unique fold where the Black piece is the full back of the card and the Real Red is scored for the card opening. It's a fun and unique card that works well with our Designer paper.  Whether you use 6 X 6" or 12 X 12" paper it all works without much waste when cutting.

    Measurements:

    • Black 5 ½” X 4 1/4”
    • Real Red 3 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”,
    • Designer Series Paper 5 ½” X 3”
    • Soft Suede 1" X 4 1/4"
    • White strip is 3/4" X 3 1/2" 

    If you like these cards you may want to get my Card Kit to Go that features the entire Playful Pets suite of products along with 10 pre-cut cards!  Be sure to order it by Saturday! See it here.

  • Celebrate Sunflowers Triple Panel Card with video!


    I made this card on Facebook Live last night on my weekly Monday night 'Stamp with Me'.  It's such a fun technique!  

    I love blues and browns together and chose to use Just Jade, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Pool Party with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (seen here).  What do you think of this color combination? One of my favorite things about creating is coming up with unique color combos.  

    I have some great tips on doing this technique.

    • Start out with three colors of card stock measuring 3 1/2" X 4 1/2". 
    • Cut these into three strips 1 1/2" wide. 
    • Lay them together and adhere a piece of copy paper to the back side to keep them held together while stamping. 
    • Stamp large and small images all over the three colors of card stock with Soft Suede ink. *Always stamp the largest image first! 
    • Or use Designer Series Paper instead of stamps! 
    • Adhere to the Early Espresso layer (4 3/4" X 5").  Then to the full 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base. 

    The pool party greeting strips are either 3/4" or 1" wide by about 4" long.  I used the new Pick a Punch (seen here) on the ends and added a thin strip (about 1/4") of Early Espresso card stock under it as an accent.  I finished it with a double bow made with our Linen Thread.
