Welcome Easter Lamb Card For a Sweet Friend

I’ve seen many people coloring this Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper various ways so I finally tried it on this Welcome Easter Lamb Card For a Sweet Friend. The Flowering Foils paper is one that you can earn FREE during Sale-A-Bration with a $50 Stampin’ Up! purchase until March 31. You can tell from the glare on the photo that this paper has foil accents in Rose Gold and Silver Foil. It’s beautiful but difficult to photograph very well!

I decided to color in the background around all the flowers. You might think (and I thought!) that it would be extremely tedious and ridiculous to color around all those little flowers! Somehow it was not! I got out my Stampin’ Blends, chose Granny Apple Green, and started coloring! It really went pretty fast and I think the Blends marker made it easy. I didn’t feel I had to be absolutely exact and yet it came out just fine! After coloring the background, I decided to color the silver flowers, too! I used Dark Flirty Flamingo.

After the designer paper was colored, I layered it on a card base of Flirty Flamingo Cardstock. I tied around a piece of Whisper White 5/8″ Flax Ribbon with a knot on the side of the card. Then I stamped the lamb from the Welcome Easter Stamp Set and colored him with Stampin’ Blends, particularly with Light Gray Granite. The lamb was die cut with a Stitched Shapes Die and then layered on a scalloped Layering Circles Die in Flirty Flamingo. The greeting is in the same stamp set and is stamped in Flirty Flamingo Ink. It is punched out with the Classic Label Punch.

If you like coloring, just sit down and relax and enjoy coloring this Flowering Foils Paper. And we all need activities that help us relax right now! Here’s a card I made the other day with the Flowering Foils paper without coloring. I even used three different papers on that card! So you can do it either way! The paper is pretty as is, or you can do lots of coloring like I did on my Welcome Easter Lamb Card For a Sweet Friend, but don’t miss out on Sale-A-Bration!

Project: Use Your Scraps!

2 Replies

The other day I was taking everything off our kitchen table where I stamp so that I could completely clean it and sanitize it and I had this little pile of scraps! I have more scraps in a ziploc bag and more scraps in the cardstock packages. So I thought why not sit down and try to make cards out of what I have ready to go!

I didn’t get very far before I had to stop and help my husband figure out his teleconferencing with work (who knew you had to “set up” a microphone, not just plug it in?!) and figure out how it works. So I only got two cards made!

On the poppies card, I already had a Poppy Parade card base cut and folded in my bag of cardstock. I cut it down to 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ just for something different. The stamped Painted Poppies were already colored and cut out. Sometimes I stamp or die cut something and then think it doesn’t work or I change my mind. Hence, ready to go scraps! I adhered one flower flat on the card front and popped up the other two on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I even had some leaves already cut out. I tied around a Poppy Parade 1/2″ Textured Weave Ribbon (not a scrap!) and tied on a knot. Finally I used some Clear Wink of Stella to add some glitter to the poppies. On the inside of the card I added a Whisper White layer and another little floral die cut I found.

The second card has a layer embossed with the Country Floral Embossing Folder that I found in my Whisper White package. I added the die cut white heart from the Be Mine Stitched Dies. I don’t remember if the center die cut was already stamped or if I did that, but either way, I think it works! Then I added a bit of Lovely Lipstick 1/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon to the heart.

I plan to make more cards with my scraps as soon as I get some time! I don’t seem to have found all this “free time” that some people have to do all kinds of projects that they never have time to do otherwise. I suppose since I am home every day anyway, my routine isn’t changed during this time.

I hope you are staying on top of the news, only because recommendations and things change so quickly. But you also have to turn off the TV or radio or internet news sites and get some fresh air outside and do something relaxing. It’s a good time to lose yourself in stamping! If you don’t have many supplies, it might be a good time to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin and know you will get a kit in the mail mid-April and mid-May, etc. to give yourself a treat during this difficult time.

Do take care, stay healthy, stay home as much as you can, and STAMP! Use your scraps and see what you can come up with!

Fable Friends Bunny Easter Basket

Leave a reply

Today is the first day of spring, the earliest first day of spring since 1896, so here is a Fable Friends Easter Basket to celebrate! These are so easy to make you could make a ton now in your “free time”!

This is the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper and I liked the Pool Party stripe paper for the basket. And then you can see the floral pattern on the inside of the basket.

The bunny is stamped from the Fable Friends Stamp Set in the Annual Catalog. I love that bunny! I colored his fur and jacket with Stampin’ Blends and then die cut him with a Layering Oval die, then layered on a scalloped oval die. Don’t think I picked the correct color for the scalloped oval to match the inside of the basket but it’s fine!

Just use a 6″ x 6″ square of paper and score at 2″ and 4″. Turn the paper and score again at 2″ and 4″. Then on opposite sides, cut up to the scored horizontal line. Round the four corners if you wish with the Detailed Trio Punch. In the rough (?) diagram below, you can see how you score all the lines like a “tic tac toe”, then cut on the red lines up to that horizontal score line. Then crease and fold on all the lines and begin assembling the basket.

Fold on the score lines and overlap the sides of the basket. You don’t have to be exact on the placement, just try to have both sides pretty much the side. Either adhere with strong glue or use Metallic Brads. Back in the day we were really into brads of all kinds so you probably have some in your stash, but Stampin’ Up! does also carry the Metallic Brads. You can see the sides of my basket in the photo below and I did not put a lot of effort into getting them into some perfect shape!

Last year I made several baskets in one post and you can see those ideas and directions HERE.

I think it just feels better to know that it is spring now! Spring is a happier season, things start growing and blooming, the weather is nicer, we are outdoors more. Look through your designer paper and make a few spring or Easter baskets to brighten up your home. You couldn’t have to put a bunny or anything on the side. You could use cardstock to make the basket and add designer paper on some of the squares. You could just tie on a tag or put a pretty bow on the handle. The handle, by the way, is just a strip of cardstock, probably cut about 1/2″ or 3/4″ wide and however long you would like it. It’s a simple project and would be fun and easy to make if you have kids at home now! Or just make it for yourself! Use larger paper for a larger basket! Maybe I will try that myself! Try your hand at a spring basket like my Fable Friends Bunny Easter Basket!

Peaceful Poppies Birthday Card in Poppy Parade

Leave a reply

Make this easy and bright Peaceful Poppies Birthday Card in Poppy Parade with this great floral paper! It’s sure to brighten someone’s day and all you have to do is change the greeting for the occasion.

It’s funny sometimes how a card comes to be. I was making another project which I will show another day and in my package of Poppy Parade paper, I already had a folded card base. The Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper was also on my table that I had used on the other project and this particular paper jumped out at me. So I thought why not just go ahead and make another card and make it rather quick and easy!

All I had to do was cut a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of the designer paper I liked and wrap a piece of ribbon around it before adhering to the card base. The ribbon I used is the Poppy Parade 1/2″ Textured Weave Ribbon which is a really nice, soft ribbon that is easy to use even though it is wide and looks like it would be heavy.

The greeting is stamped in Poppy Parade Ink and is from the Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set. I made a card with that stamp set recently because sometimes we forget about the great stamp sets and products in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog when we are glued to the extra Mini Catalogs of the season. I punched it out with the Everyday Label Punch. The problem then is what to layer it on! I tried various die cuts and things and finally settled on just adhered the punched piece to a piece of Granny Apple Green Cardstock and then just cut around it with Paper Snips! It’s not perfect but you can do it and it doesn’t have to be perfect. What person who gets the card is going to say, “I wish she had cut that curve better!”?

For a bit of embellishment I added two Gold Glitter Enamel Dots on the greeting. You could also add some sequins to the card or tie on ribbon on each side of the greeting.

If you are staying at home to avoid getting sick, this is a good time to make a stash of cards to keep on hand, but also to send! Just think how anxious we all are and how receiving a card in the mail will brighten someone’s day like nothing else will. And if it comes from YOU, that makes it the most special! Use this design of my Peaceful Poppies Birthday Card in Poppy Parade in the same colors or change the colors or change the greeting or the ribbon and then mail it!

St. Pat’s Day Shamrock Heart Punch Card

Leave a reply

To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, maybe you want to make card something like this St. Pat’s Day Shamrock Heart Punch Card. You’re probably not going out to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day today so you might as well STAMP! I think this card could even be one to send someone any time because hearts are good at any time whether they are making up shamrocks or just a leafy plant!

I started with a card base of Old Olive and a layer of Whisper White. I didn’t even know exactly what I was going to make except that it had to be green for St. Pat’s. I settled on using the Heart Punch with the scalloped edge in the Heart Punch Pack. You get two punches in this pack, a plain edge heart and a scalloped edge heart. As a bonus, you can layer the hearts! You can use hearts any time, not just for Valentine’s Day or St. Patrick’s Day! You will find them in the Occasions Mini Catalog.

For something more interesting, I looked through my designer paper until I found a “solid” green I could use. I found this green in the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper. Don’t forget to look at the backsides of the pretty patterned papers! Often there is something very interesting on both sides of the designer paper! I punched three hearts out of this paper and just cut a little curved strip for the stem. Although the paper color is basically a solid green, you can see that there are color variations in it that make it interesting and appealing! I think this greenery can be any kind of leafy plant with heart-shaped leaves!

For pizzazz, I dug out some gold sequins and clustered them in the center of the plant rather than placing them around on the card. I liked that look. The greeting is stamped in Old Olive ink from the Heartfelt Stamp Set. This stamp set can also be used for more than Valentine’s Day so you might want to grab it during Sale-A-Bration.

You probably can’t go out to the “pubs” today to celebrate, but if you are staying home you can celebrate by stamping or creating a St. Patrick’s Day project like this St. Pat’s Day Shamrock Heart Punch Card!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Flowering Foils Cheers To You Birthday Card

Leave a reply

This Flowering Foils Cheers To You Birthday Card makes use of three of the designs of the pretty foil-accented designer series paper! I couldn’t stop! I just thought all these papers looked interesting together! No coloring involved on this card as these papers are pretty enough to stand on their own.

The Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper is one that you can get FREE during Sale-A-Bration! Sale-A-Bration ENDS on March 31 so there are only about two weeks left! Don’t miss out!

I started with a Whisper White card base but covered it entirely in this designer paper rather than leaving a margin as we normally do. I wanted the plaid-like pattern to be along the side of the card and then the floral pattern as the main design. Normally we might add a bit of ribbon along the seam between the two papers, but on this card, I added a narrow strip of another of the patterns, a busy one hoping it would show up against the other two patterns. So maybe the whole card is a little “busy” and of course, the foil designs are shiny.

For the greeting, I stamped a greeting from the Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set on Whisper White and punched it out with the 1 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch. I layered it a piece of Silver Foil punched with the Pretty Label Punch. For an embellishment, I used two of the Clear Faceted Gems.

I think in the photos with some glare from the foil, it might all look like kind of a crazy card, but it probably looks a little better in person! The Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Paper is a really pretty set of papers to play with so consider putting it on your next order this month! This Flowering Foils Cheers To You Birthday Card is an easy one to make!

Welcome Easter Yellow Chick Card

Leave a reply

I just ordered the Welcome Easter Stamp Set recently and it is so adorable I had to make this Welcome Easter Yellow Chick Card. It’s actually a great stamp set that is not just for Easter, as you can see from the stamp set photo! It’s even got a greeting in the stamp set for a new baby and a friend. You could certainly make a lot of cute baby cards and projects with this stamp set, so don’t look at it as only for Easter.

In making this card, I wanted to use the new, beautiful vellum paper, available FREE during these last few weeks of Sale-A-Bration! It’s one of the new products available as the 2nd release during Sale-A-Bration. It is called the So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper. It comes in three colors: Pool Party, Purple Posy, and Soft Sea Foam.

I just used a card base of Whisper White and added a layer of the Pool Party vellum, sponging it on the back with Multipurpose Liquid Glue so the adhesive wouldn’t show through.

The chick is stamped in Memento Ink and colored in with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers and the beak and feet in Pumpkin Pie markers. It’s so fun to color with these Stampin’ Blends Markers! I just love to do it! I also colored in some green grass just for fun using the Granny Apple Green markers.

The chick was then cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies and layered on a scalloped circle die-cut in Daffodil Delight. Then I thought it would be fun to use the Whisper White 5/8″ Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon placed back and forth on the back. I popped this piece up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting is stamped and then layered on a Stitched Rectangle Die in Daffodil Delight. It is just glued on with Multipurpose Liquid Glue or you can use Snail Adhesive.

That’s as easy as it is to make this Welcome Easter Card with the cute yellow chick on the front! Try your hand at making this simple card!

Remember, Sale-A-Bration ends March 31 so what with all the health news out there, don’t forget if you want to treat yourself to a Sale-A-Bration product!

Thoughtful Blooms Punched In Color Flowers Card

Leave a reply

Here’s another springtime card for you, the Thoughtful Blooms Punched In Color Flowers Card. Almost everything on this card is free with a qualifying purchase during Sale-A-Bration. In fact, the inspiration for this card started with a sample in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.

In case you are new and have never heard of Stampin’ Up!’s big promotion called Sale-A-Bration, this is a favorite but is going to end on March 31. With every $50 Stampin’ Up! purchase, you can choose a free item in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. There are some higher value items, like the Small Bloom Punch that I used for this card, that are free with a $100 purchase. So with a $100 Stampin’ Up! purchase, you can choose either one $100 Sale-A-Bration item or 2 Sale-A-Bration items designated with a $50 emblem. No limit! And once you reach $150, you also get to choose Stampin’ Rewards!

This card starts with a bright yellow base, Pineapple Punch, one of the outgoing In Colors from 2018-2020. I decided to only use this group of In Colors since they will be retiring soon. On the Whisper White top layer, I have flowers of Grapefruit Grove, Blueberry Bushel, Lovely Lipstick, and a Pineapple Punch flower also.

The Thoughtful Blooms Stamp Set, free with a $50 purchase, is the stamp set I used to stamp the flower stems and leaves and greeting. The flowers were stamped with Versamark Ink and then punched out with the Small Blooms Punch. Before I stamped the stems, I cut a strip of the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper, also free with a $50 purchase in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure! It is a green backside of one of the lily designs and looks just like someone painted it with a watercolor brush. I thought it would be an interesting representation of grass!

To finish off the flowers, which were popped up on Mini Dimensionals, I added a Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewel on each one. You can still purchase these, which came out in the Holiday Catalog, under the Holiday Favorites Category in the Online Store.

The sentiment also comes from the Thoughtful Blooms Stamp set and has two rhinestones added also. All you have to do is change the greeting for another occasion because you can use a floral card for lots of things!

If you are interested in these In Colors, I would suggest ordering what you need, particularly ink refills NOW before the panic begins when the retirement list comes out. Sometimes the In Colors sell out quickly.

Also, don’t forget today is the last day to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin to get the March paper-crafting kit which has notecards to make and a very cute box! JOIN PAPER PUMPKIN HERE!

Change Your Clocks For Daylight Savings Time Tonight!

Daylight Savings Time Man Changing Clocks

It’s time to Change Your Clocks For Daylight Savings Time Tonight! You know what that means…..one less hour to stamp! Spring is coming so you must “spring forward” before you go to bed tonight or officially at 2:00 am tomorrow. I suppose in the digital age now we don’t all have this many clocks to change twice a year, or at least if you are of a younger age! My kids say, “What clocks?” when I ask if they changed their clocks! Their phones and computers automatically update and that’s all they need.

I remember when they used to do a story on the news about daylight time and they would go to a clock shop and show how many clocks the proprietors would have to reset!

Daylight Savings Time seems to be controversial these days. But whichever side you’re on, I look at it as a harbinger of Spring.

Do some extra stamping today to make up for that hour you’re going to lose tonight!

Beautiful Friendship Pink Flowers Card

Leave a reply

This weekend begins the River Oaks Garden Club Azalea Trail 2020 that we always like to go to so I made this Beautiful Friendship Pink Flowers Card to commemorate what we will likely see on the Trail. Actually, our yard is looking like this with our azaleas and even our Bluebonnets blooming. However, our home and garden aren’t quite like the ones we will see on the Azalea Trail! Those homes and gardens on the Azalea Trail are beautiful and today the weather should be beautiful!

Some people have been dusting off a stamp set from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog that I hadn’t seen in a while but makes beautiful cards really with just stamping unless you want to make it fancier. Sometimes I forget if I actually own it or wish I had it! It’s on my shelf, I own it, thank goodness! It’s the Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set and has beautiful flower images and very nice sayings. It made me think of the flowering azaleas in our yard with various shades of pink (even on the same bush somehow!) and the bluebonnets blooming in the backyard.

For this card, I started with a card base of Melon Mambo, with a layer of Blushing Bride underneath the Whisper White top layer. I simply stamped the large grouping of blooms in Blushing Bride a couple of times in two rows. You can also overstamp, with the single flower stamp, in the same color to add more layers on the flower as I ended up doing to fill in some of the white space in between the petals. Then I stamped that smaller flower image in Melon Mambo because our azalea bushes sometimes have a few blooms of a different lighter or darker color than what the bush is supposed to be! For the bluebonnets, I stamped the springs of tiny flowers in Gorgeous Grape ink. The leaves are stamped in Granny Apple Green ink. With one of the smaller stamps, I added a bit of So Saffron to the centers of some of the flowers. I like the look of a bit of yellow on the card.

The sentiment is from the same Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set. I cut it out with the Layering Ovals Dies as well as the Melon Mambo scalloped oval. Before I added the sentiment, I colored in the background very lightly with my Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blends marker just to look a little like blue sky, although I think it washed out in the photo.

If you wanted to add anything to this card, you could color over some of the flowers with the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to add a little bit of shimmer. You could also, or separately, add a few pretty sequins mixed in with the flowers.

Here’s a card I made last year, even simpler, with the Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set. Add this stamp set to your Stampin’ Up! order and get closer to earning Sale-A-Bration rewards!

I hope this Beautiful Friendship Pink Flowers Card makes you think of spring wherever you live, whether you are experiencing it or not because spring is coming!

St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock Card

Leave a reply

Get those heart stamps out again and let’s stamp a St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock Card! Heart stamps are good for lots of things besides Valentine’s Day and now you see how you can use them for St. Patrick’s Day. You can use any heart stamps you have for different looking shamrocks.

For this shamrock card, I started with a base of Call Me Clover Cardstock. This cardstock is one of the current In Colors that will be retiring in May before the new In Colors come in. These In Colors have had their two-year run. If you need any of them, refills, ribbons, anything with these In Colors, it would be smart to order them now before people rush to get them at retirement time. And if you order in March, you can take advantage of Sale-A-Bration.

It was fun to basically “just stamp” on this card! I used the Heartfelt Stamp Set in the Occasions Mini Catalog. Just stamp four of the hearts to make a shamrock, or I have seen just 3 heart leaves to make a shamrock also. It’s easier than it used to be now that we have photopolymer stamps that you can see through. For the stem, I simply used a Blender Pen and picked up some of the Call Me Clover ink in the lid of the ink pad and drew on the stem. You could use a marker or just cut a thin stem.

Instead of just stamping a greeting on some kind of layer, I decided to just stamp the sentiment randomly in between the shamrocks on the card front. The “Have a Lucky Day” phrase is from the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set. That’s such a great set to own because you can almost always find a good sentiment to use for your card.

Of course, I wanted to have a little gold on my card for St. Patrick’s Day so I chose the Gold Glitter Enamel Dots. You will find these in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog back in the Embellishments section. First I just put small dots around randomly on the card, but then I also thought the center of each shamrock could use a larger gold one. You could also color a dot with a marker to match the shamrock, but I liked the gold in this case.

This card was very simple to make, quick and easy. Plus a good way to use our heart stamps! Don’t think of your heart stamp sets for just Valentine’s Day, keep them handy for other occasions like this St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock Card with St. Patrick’s Day coming up on March 17th!
