My little leprechaun hat is made from half a toilet paper roll and covered with the amazing Rainbow Glimmer Paper! And then I had to keep using this paper, so I die cut three hearts from the greenish/bluish part of the paper with the Stitched Be Mine Dies to make a shamrock and put it on a tag. You can see the rainbow effect of Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay on the hearts.

Oh So Ombre Strawberry Z-Fold Card

Oh So Ombre Strawberry Z-Fold Card

One week from today Sale-A-Bration 2021 will be over! Can you believe it! Your last day to earn any FREE Sale-A-Bration products is Sunday, February 28. Every year, while we really have fun with the Holiday Catalog, once the holidays are over, we look forward to the Spring Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration, Stampin’ Up!’s biggest promotion! It has been held every year since the early days of Stampin’ Up! The January-June Mini Catalog continues on, but Sale-A-Bration comes to an end on Sunday! Be sure to place your Stampin’ Up! orders as soon as possible to avoid the last minute rush and get your free stuff!

This card showcases one of the Sale-A-Bration options. It’s a Z-fold card in Granny Apple Green, which means half of the front of the card is just folded back to form a z-shape. I used the Oh So Ombre 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper on the card, free with a $50 Stampin’ Up! purchase. On the front panel, I used the design with the circles, and for the inside of the card, I used another sheet that just has solid ombre colors with no pattern. This way I can stamp a greeting or write a note inside on the plainer ombre paper.

Now if you spend $100, you can choose the Berry Blessings Bundle in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure for strawberry and berry patterned paper plus a berry stamp set. This Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set used on this card is in the January-June Mini Catalog but it coordinates with the set in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. You can also purchase the Sweet Strawberry Bundle which includes the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set and the Strawberry Punch, which is really fun! (As I write this, the Strawberry Punch is not available until the week of March 1, therefore the Bundle can’t be ordered until then!)

It was fun decorating the front of the card! The rectangle is die-cut from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies in Basic White. I stamped the image in the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set of the strawberry plant leaves and blooms as the background on this die-cut piece. It is inked up in Granny Apple Green and stamped off, although it wasn’t all that faint. Then I stamped and punched a strawberry, some leaves and some Daffodil Delight blossoms and placed them over this image of the strawberry plant. Some are glued down flat and some are popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is also from the same stamp set.

The leaf at the top over the greeting might not have been there except that I dropped one of the flower stamps with yellow ink on it right at the top of the die-cut piece. I knew I would figure out a way to cover it up and I liked adding the stamped and punched strawberry leaf up there! As we say, “There are no mistakes in stamping!”

This Oh So Ombre Strawberry Z-Fold Card turned out well, I think, in spite of no real plan when I sat down to stamp and has a bright, happy look to it because of the colors!

Don’t Miss Out on Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration!

Flower & Field Just For You Card

Flower & Field Just For You Card

I absolutely love this paper I used on this Flower & Field Just For You Card! And you can get it FREE during Sale-A-Bration 2021! Can you believe we are already half way through Sale-A-Bration?!

This is really an easy card to make. I decided I actually liked Real Red for a card base for this card, even though it’s not one of the coordinating colors. Just like my card the other day, I really like the red, black, and the tiny bit of white on this paper.

The first paper I wanted to use out of this Flower & Field Designer Series Paper was this pattern with a black background with yellow, red, and white flowers. But when I turned it over, I also loved the yellow polka dot design on the other side! So on this card, I used both sides of the same paper! I used a Real Red card base with a layer of the yellow polka dot paper. Then I added a strip of the floral side.

Before adhering the designer paper to the card base, I adhered a piece of the Bumblebee 2000-2022 In Color Ribbon around the designer paper. For something different, I tied on three knots of the ribbon instead of a bow.

The greeting is from the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set, in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. If you like you can bundle the stamp set with the Strawberry Builder Punch and save 10%. I used the small circle die in the Tasteful Labels Dies. For a little embellishment, I cut out a group of the red flowers on the designer series paper by hand and adhered it behind the popped up greeting.

During Sale-A-Bration, you can choose a FREE Sale-A-Bration product with every $50 purchase during the promotion! No limit! If you have an order of $100 you can choose either two $50 Level products or one special $100 Level product. This is Stampin’ Up!’s biggest promotion of the year, so don’t miss it! Who doesn’t want free stuff?!

This Flower & Field Paper is so pretty, you could sit down and make a ton of cheerful cards to send out just to let someone know you are thinking of them or for birthdays or whatever occasion!

Gnome For The Holidays Wizard Card

Gnome For the Holidays Wizard Card

Do we really have to retire the cute Gnome For the Holidays Stamp Set and the cute little gnomes? I have come to love certain cute gnomes, in this stamp set and other handmade ones I have bought online so I hate to see this stamp set go! I made some cute Christmas cards with this stamp set, like this one and this one. These guys were so fun to stamp with!

For this card, I made this one little gnome into a wizard! I started with a card base of Night of Navy Cardstock and layered with a copper star-studded designer paper. This Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper that has been with us for two holiday seasons but was a gorgeous one with the copper foil accents. While it has holiday images, it also has generic patterns, like this one, that you can use anytime for cards, projects, or scrapbook pages.

I inked up the gnome with Memento Ink and then wiped off the little ornament dangling from his hat with my Simply Shammy. You could also ink up the stamp with the Basic Black Marker and omit the ornament. I stamped the gnome on Whisper White and die-cut with a plain oval in the Layering Ovals Set. I used the Copper Foil for a layer underneath with a die-cut scalloped oval. The greeting is stamped in Night of Navy Ink from the Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set and layered on a strip of Copper Foil.

For the gnome/wizard, I colored him with Stampin’ Blends. I decided to “paper piece” his wizard hat by stamping on a piece of the designer paper, trying to get as many stars as possible on it, and then cutting it out with Paper Snips. I just glued that over his stamped hat. I also thought he needed a wand for his wizardry so I die cut some stars from the Stitched Stars Dies for his wand and for a few others scattered around. Stars are great for lots of things!!

Gnome For the Holidays Wizard Card Closeup

Here are my “real” gnomes that I purchased from a lady on Instagram, @thelittlegreenbean. She makes the cutest gnomes and other things. Over a year ago when I discovered her, I didn’t even like gnomes, but I fell in love with hers and bought a couple for Christmas gifts last year. I got the first one with the milk and cookies for myself, then the Halloween gnome, and this year the Ugly Christmas Sweater gnome! I love that one!

If you are interested in the Gnome For the Holidays Stamp Set, you only have today and tomorrow, Monday January 4th to get it. On the 5th, the set will be retired as the new Jan-June Mini comes out.

Be sure to check out the Year-End Giant Closeout at Stampin’ Up! before these retiring goodies are gone on Tuesday! Have fun shopping!

‘Tis The Season Candy Cane Christmas Card

Tis The Season Candy Cane Christmas Card

If you only had the ‘Tis The Season Designer Paper, I can’t imagine how many different Christmas cards you could make! And there are also generic patterns that you can use long after the holidays.

This was an easy card to design. I picked the candy cane print pattern of the ‘Tis The Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I also chose the red narrow-striped design for the bottom portion of the card. I adhered those two papers together using my Grid Paper to make sure everything lined up for the correct size. Then I was able to wrap around a piece of the Real Red 3/8″ Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon to cover the seam of the two papers.

The greeting is stamped in Real Red Ink from the Tag Buffet Stamp Set. I love the font and style of this writing in this stamp set! Even though it goes with the Tag Buffet Project Kit, it’s really a stand-alone kit for making any Christmas cards and projects. But I also love the Tag Buffet Kit tags!! You can see the ones I made HERE.

I looked through all my dies and decided on this shape for the greeting. It is in the Tasteful Labels Dies. It is large enough and has an interesting shape plus a stitched edge! For a little bling, I couldn’t resist adding some of the Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels. I’m not sure I like how I placed them. What do you think??

Then on each side of the greeting I tied two small pieces of the red ribbon just in a knot, not a bow. A bow would take up too much area and obscure the greeting.

The card base is Shaded Spruce. Since that is rather dark for the inside of the card, just add a layer of Whisper White. I just stamped a holiday greeting on it, but you can also add a strip of the designer paper along the bottom edge of the inside layer for a little decoration.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, December 8th is the first day of the Stampin’ Up! Giant Year-End Closeout.

Easy Trimming the Town Christmas Card

Easy Trimming the Town Christmas Card

Don’t forget about the Designer Paper Sale going on this month (which is just about over) at Stampin’ Up! and the paper on this Easy Trimming the Town Christmas Card is one that is on sale, just in time for the holidays! This particular card is one that is about as simple as they get yet is colorful and festive and will spread holiday cheer!

The card base is Misty Moonlight, one of our In Colors, with a layer of Poppy Parade. I originally thought the red color on this paper was Real Red, but it is actually Poppy Parade. Not that you can’t use Real Red because I did on this other card I made!

I just cut a layer of the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper with the smaller buildings on it. It is bright and colorful and makes a “happy” holiday card! Then all I had to do was add a greeting!

The greeting is from the Banner Year Stamp Set. This is a set that you might overlook but I have gotten a lot of use out of it with its many greetings and cute little images. I stamped it in Misty Moonlight Ink on Whisper White Cardstock and layered on a piece of Misty Moonlight Cardstock. I used the Banners Pick a Punch to punch the banner ends. If you don’t have the punch, just eyeball it and cut with Paper Snips. To help the greeting stand out, I layered a piece of Poppy Parade underneath and popped it all up on Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

The designer paper already had snowflakes printed on it, but you could add some Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes or some other sequins or gems if you wanted to jazz up the card a little bit more.

Just add a layer of Whisper White inside the card since the Misty Moonlight card base is a dark color. Maybe cut out one of the little buildings or add a strip of the designer paper or stamp a Christmas greeting inside if you like.

Be sure to check out the Designer Series Paper Sale, going on now in the Stampin’ Up! Online Store, only until October 31!
