Sweet Strawberry Birthday Card Idea

Hope you are enjoying your summer.  I can’t believe that summer is almost over, well the calendar says that, not the weather in Florida.

I created this Birthday Card using the  Sweet Strawberry bundle that is found in the Annual Stampin’ Up! Catalog.

This bundle  comes with the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set and Strawberry Builder Punch.

I just love how yummy and fresh those strawberries look, and how simple they are to make using the Two-Step stamping technique.

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink for the outline of the strawberries and Garden Green Classic Stampin’ Pad Ink for the outline of the leaves.

Then for the second step I used Poppy Parade Classic Stampin’ Pad Ink for the strawberries and Granny Apple Green Classic Stampin’ Pad for the leaves.

When I was done with all of the stamping, I used the Strawberry Builder Punch and punched all the images out and using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Stampin’ Seal Adhesive, I put the card together.

For the final touch, I decorated the envelope to coordinate with the card by covering the flap of the envelope with the same Designer Series Paper that was used on the birthday card.

I have a couple more ideas that are in the works for this stamp set that will also include the Measure Of Love stamp set that is on page 32 of the annual catalog.  As soon as I finish I will share.

You can find this great bundle along with so many more fantastic stamp sets and bundles and Designer Series Paper in the Annual Catalog and the Mini Catalog.

Until next time my friends,

Penguin Place Birthday Card Idea

It is still super hot here in North Florida so I thought I would try to make myself feel a little cooler so I started stamping some really super cute Penguins.

Was I correct in saying that they are super cute? And I even added some cuteness on the inside of the card

I fell in love with this adorable bundle that is in our Mini Catalog called the Penguin Place Bundle  Besides the cute images in this set, the sayings are even better and can be used for any kind of card.

This bundle has a stamp set  called Penguin Place along with a Penguin Builder Punch

I also used some FREE Designer Series Paper Called Penguin Playmates, along with Fresh Freesia cardstock.

Remember that Sale-A-Bration is from August 3rd and ends at the end of September.  If you see something that you like please don’t wait just in case it sells out and is not available anymore.

Birthday Card Idea Using Counting Sheep

I have been creating some really fun cards using the FREE stamps, dies, and designer series paper that I earned with my Sale-a-bration order.

This fun fold box card was created using the FREE Counting Sheep stamp set and also the Free Sheep Dies.

I also used the cloud stencil that was in the March Paper Pumpkin to decorate the box card.

I just love these Sheep Dies and only used 3 of them on this box card.  I can’t wait to create a card with a fence or that flag reminds me of a golf course so maybe I will make some golfing sheep ha-ha-ha.

Remember you can place an order from the Annual and/or Mini Catalog to be able to take part in Sale-A-Bration and get yourself some of these great FREE products.  In my last post I showed all of the great products that we get to choose from.  To see them all just click here FREE gifts.

I will be sharing more cards that I created using some of the designers series paper that is available in the Sale-A-Bration brochure.

Until next time my friends,

Enjoy the SUnshine!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream Card Idea

It’s getting really warm here in North Florida and nothing tastes better on a hot day than ice cream.  Sunday before going to the beach with my girlfriend we made a quick stop to Dairy Queen for an ice cream cone.

So when I got home after a great day, I decided to create this cute card using the Sweet Ice Cream Stampin’ Up! Bundle along with the Stitched Rectangles Dies.

You can use this stamp set for so many kinds of cards, Birthday, Thank You, and just to send someone a little hello because you are thinking of them.

Since you can’t send ice cream in the mail I think sending someone “cool” ice cream wishes with a handmade card will definitely put a smile on there face, or make them go out for some ice cream with friends or family.

I will be sharing a few more card ideas using the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set along with the coordinating Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch and Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper.

This Designer Series Paper is so super colorful and with the images of ice cream cones and Popsicle sticks and the fun sprinkle paper, you can just cut this fun paper or you can use some dies from another set such as Hippo & Friends which has so many different shaped frames that you can stamp your sentiment on and maybe even add some layers as I did for a simple fun card.

Just a reminder – This bundle and all coordinating stamps, punches, papers and sprinkles is available in the Mini Catalog on pages 48 and 49.  This Mini  catalog sales period ends on June 30th.

So, If you want to purchase this fun stamp stamp and punch as a bundle you have until June 30th to save 10%.  After that time the 10% savings in no longer available but you will still be able to purchase separately.

***If you love this Designer Series Paper called Ice Cream Corner you should get it while it is still available in the Mini Catalog.  This item will not be available in the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.

Until next time my friends,

Enjoy The SUnshine!

Sneak Peek ~ Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch Bundle

Happy Monday!

Today I am giving you a sneak peek of the Pansy Patch stamp set and dies, that will be available in the new Stampin’ Up! 2021-2022 Annual Catalog next week May 4, 2021

I created this paper Pansy Patch garden with the new bundle that is going to be released next week.  This bundle puts such a smile on my face since I love pansies.  These flowers always look so happy to me – am I the only one who thinks they look happy?

Another great thing about this bundle is that all the dies in this set can be used with our Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

I cut the parts of the Pansy using the Pansy Dies in the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine on Basic White cardstock.

Then the real fun was coloring the flowers using Sponge Daubers with some of the New 2021-2023 In Colors.  These New In Colors are gorgeous, and of course they all intertwine perfectly with all of our other beautiful colors Stampin’ Up! offers.

You will be able to find this Pansy Patch Suite on page 28, the New 2021-2023 In Colors on page 123 of the New catalog, along with another 176 pages of the most awesome products ever.  I know that you are going to love the Stampin’ Up! 2021-2022 Annual Catalog just as much as I do

.

To finish my Pansy Garden, I also used the **Butterfly Gala stamp set with coordinating **Butterfly Duet punch, and the sentiment from **Country Home stamp set.

I have made many Birthday and Thank You cards using the **Butterfly Gala stamps with and without the punch.  Creating cards with the **Country Home stamp set is a great for Thanksgiving or a pick me up card just to make someone’s day a little brighter.

** Both of these stamp sets and punch are on the Last Chance Products Sale/Retiring List, so if you don’t have these great products, and you love them, you have to order them today! I don’t want you to miss them when they are gone.

Stay tuned for more Sneak Peeks from this wonderful New Stampin’ Up! 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.

Until next my friends,

Enjoy The SUnshine!
