HEARTS A FLUTTER BANNER CARD

Cool blue Pool Party is a wonderful color for men, women, teens, and kids.  It's one of my favorites, and I will be sorry to see it leave Stampin' Up!'s color palette at the end of May.  So let's enjoy it all the more while we can :o)

Today's card could be used for such a wide variety of occasions:  birthday, anniversary, wedding, valentine, get well, I'm thinking of you, or "even no particular reason but I just wanted to make you something special".

Run a panel through the Big Shot using the Honeycomb embossing folder, then lightly smooth the Whisper White craft ink pad over the raised surface to highlight the texture, a perfect backdrop to the hearts and other banner shapes.

Other supplies you will need:
stamps:  Heart A Flutter, Made For You; inks: Pool Party, Pink Pirouette, Primrose Petals, Basic Gray; tools:   Hearts A Flutter framelits, paper snips; etc:  White Baker's Twine, stampin' dimensionals

Happy Stampin'

BRIGHT BLOSSOMS 3 x 3

It's the little things that can mean so much.  A smile.  A hug.  A phone call.

Today's share is just a little something to let someone know you care, a fun little card that should brighten anyone's day.

The Bright Blossoms and Ciao, Baby stamp sets make this little card just as cute as can be.
The Happy Day tag is popped up on a dimensional and acts as a latch to keep the card closed.

Gently release to reveal the inside with room for your personal note.

Then slip it into your embellished envelope, ready to bring a smile to the recipient's face.

The Petite Curly Label punch used for the sentiment "latch" will be available during Sale-a-bration, Jan 22- Mar 22.  Contact me to learn how you can get one free!

Happy stampin'

As a guy, it’s not always easy to express yourself. You know you want to say it, but you just don’t know how. That’s why we’ve created the Dude, You’re Welcome! Kit. Quickly build a card that says just what you want it to say, whether it’s “#%&@!” because you messed up (when does that happen?), for a Special Occasion (you know the occasion), “I _____ You” (love, adore, miss, see?), or a simple “Thank You.” We’ve got your back. Dude, you’re welcome. Kit includes: * Four wood-mount stamps (double-mounted) with the perfect sentiment for every occasion * Twelve 4" x 6" postcards in four different (manly) colors * Twelve gray envelopes * A Basic Gray Classic Stampin’ Pad * An instructional guide (for the most novice stamper!)

Happy stampin'!

Hi Stampers!

One of my favorite techniques is masking.  For today's share, I cut a window from the center of a piece of Whisper White CS using the new Ovals Collection framelits from Stampin' Up!  The piece is the same size as the card front to make it easy to line every thing up.  Save the oval for another project.

The CS with the window cut out will act as the mask.  Lay it on top of your card front, then sponge in your desire colors.  Stamp the image, remove the mask and finish up the card

Supplies:
Stamps:  The Open Sea; Inks: Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie; Basic Black marker; Jet Black Stazon; Card Stock:  Whisper White, Pacific Point; Tools:  Ovals Collection framelits, Big Shot, Modern Label punch, Paper Piercing Mat and Tool; Etc: Basic Black 3/16" brads, Stampin' Sponges, Snail adhesive
