Isn't this duck just so cute! The Easter Friends Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! is absolutely adorable. This duck was really easy to color and fussy cut. It makes a perfect pop next to the sentiment from the same set. I used the Subtles 6"x6" DSP as the background to resemble different colors on an egg. I hope this card gives you fun spring vibes.

Bright Birthday Bow

I couldn't resist using the Handsomely Suited Stamp Set and Suit & Tie Does again before they retire. I also still have just a bit of color family DSP left and thought I should try and use up as much of it as I could before I get new products. Originally I was going to place the bow tie on the bottom of the label, but it just looked so much like a hair bow, I had to change it up. I also received really good feedback about the slideshow, so I had to include another! :) Enjoy! 

Project Materials:

-Handsomely Suited Stamp Set
-Suit & Tie Dies
-Tasteful Labels Dies
-Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
-Champagne Rhinestones Basic Jewels

-Brights DSP Layer with bow stamped and die cut out of center (3-3/4" x 5-1/4") 
-Very Vanilla Label cut and stamped
-Brights DSP Insert Decor (remaining piece from DSP) 
-Envelope Flap, cut off from DSP first (2-1/4" x 6")
​-Stamp envelope in bottom left corner

Have I told you I like to adventure? I think I might have mentioned it once or twice or maybe all the time. I was on spring break this week and I did not go on any adventures, so I had decided to adventure through crafting. I can't believe this bundle is retiring soon! It is so unique and versatile. I had to create with it before it is officially retired. I was inspired by the Stampin' Up! mug you'll see in my last picture for the colors.

I had to use the Beauty of the Earth Suite this week. I have had it almost a year now and I have only made 1 project with it. I can't let it just sit on the shelf, in needs to be highlighted. I had not used the blue sky paper from this pack and I was determined to design a card using it. I love how easily this card came together. The Suite Collection made it beautiful! I love how every product coordinates so well.

I just ordered the Stampin' Up! "What's Cookin' Bundle," and I absolutely LOVE it! The little kitchen tools are sooo cute! Here is my first design using the set. One of my favorite techniques is to use a shape over and over again in the background, which is what I did here with the cutting board. 

Steps to create this card: 

Picture
Step 1: Place die cuts on DSP to figure out placement before you glue
Picture
Step 2: Use liquid glue to adhere dies

Picture
Step 3: Trim the excess
Picture
Step 4: Stamp sentiment on label and envelope

Picture
Step 5: Add DSP to envelope flap
Picture
Step 6: Attach Early Espresso to handle of whisk

Picture
Step 7: Attach label, whisk, and bow to card front
Picture
Step 8: Attach card front to card base

Picture
Step 9: Attach Basic White insert with DSP Decor
Picture
Step 10: Finish the card with embellishments

No Stamping Required

This week has been very busy at work so it has been tough to find the time to craft. I decided yesterday to play with the Heart & Home Memories & More Cards, Envelopes, and Card Pack. I always buy the Memories & More Cards every time they have new ones, but I never use them! 😬 I'm not quite sure why I don't use them more often. It took me about an hour to use up all of the cards and card pack to create beautiful designs! ​
Picture
I started out by spreading out all of the cards so that I could see them at the same time. This made it easier for me to create with. I used the bumblebee trinkets to match the envelopes. There were only a few cards I had leftover because I ran out of card bases. The best part of this whole experience was not having to really design a new card. These coordinate so well with each other, the cards almost design themselves! ​

Simple Stamping

3/5/2022

0 Comments

 
I saw many demos use the Sale-a-bration DSP to quickly make cards with very little prep and the cards still looked gorgeous! I decided to use other DSPs in the same manner. I went through my stack and picked 4 different papers to use this simple stamping method on. 
Picture
Here is the type of DSP you need in order for this simple stamping project. Pick a DSP that has the patterns on the outside and a lighter color on the inside. You will then cut it down the middle and make this 1 sheet into 6 card fronts. I also used a DSP that had a bit of pattern in the center (Expressions In Ink), and I just stamped the middle instead of the corner. I really liked how all of the cards turned out and it didn't take much time at all. These are perfect for projects that need duplicates.

Project Supplies: 

Picture
-Card base (8-1/2"x5-1/2") 
-Insert (5-1/4"x4") 
-DSP Front (5-1/4"x4")
-Envelope
-Envelope Flap (5-3/4"x2-1/4")
-Card Decor (4"x3/4")
Picture
I laid out the DSP card fronts and picked out sentiments that fit the space as well as the theme of the DSP. I also wanted a variety of sentiments so that these cards can be used for different occassions. 

Picture
Step 1: Stamp card front and envelope
Picture
Step 2: Attach insert and insert decor

Picture
Step 3: Attach card front and add embellishments
Picture
Step 4: Attach DSP to card flap and trim
