I have a beautiful gift you can make using the Stampin’ UP! Thoughtful Expressions Bundle.
I started with a 5″ x 7″ frame and then made my Pool Party canvas that size. My white panel is 4″ x 6″ die cut with the retired Stampin’ UP! Split Card Texture Die.
Our class used their retired Stamparatus (or any stamp positioning tool you have) to stamp a hummingbird, a double flower image, and single flower image and LEFT the stamps on the tool. Then, you can use a negative of the die cuts to glue around each image. Then, you die cut three “blanks” each of the hummingbird, the double flower image, and the single flower image. WITHOUT removing the stamps from the Stamparatus, you can easily and quickly stamp three of each image. Two go on the frame as seen above. Here is a pic of what I just typed:
Here is the card to use the other images:
It’s a fun easel card. Here are directions:
- Score the Pool Party card stock at 4-1/4″ and 5-1/2″ on the 11″ side.
- Score on the diagonal from the top right corner of the card front to the 4-1/4″ score line at the bottom to create the fold back part of the easel.
- Adhere down the 1-1/4″ scored section by the 5-1/2″ score line so the card looks like an open book. On this section, adhere a 1″ x 4″ piece of white card stock and then a 3/4″ x 3-3/4″ piece of black cardstock followed by a 1/2″ x 5″ piece of DSP.
- Adhere a 3-1/2″ square of DSP to a 3-3/4″ black square and then adhere to a 4″ white square. Another 4″ white square gets adhered to the inside of the card.
- Adhere the white bordered DSP panel to the bottom triangle you created when you scored diagonally. Only put adhesive on the bottom triangle so the upper part can swing open to sit on the easel on the inside created by the two flower image popped up on the inside lower right corner.
- On the front, stamp the sentiment on the Thoughtful Expressions Die and add the hummingbird and single flower.
We also made a tag using the largest Thoughtful Expressions Dies. We put them in a white organza bag with paper shreds. I can’t find a pic right now but will add when I do:)
The April 2024 Busy Bee Bag registration
will be from March 15 to April 1.
I will be using the super cute Stampin’ UP! Ice Cream Bundle.
But you can use ANY stamp set and dies you have with my kits!
I work hard to create kits using the featured products that can use with other products if you want to…
and as always….
You can substitute a different stamp set. I will mail your substitution item with the Busy Bee Bag. If something is not available at the time of ordering on April 1st, I will contact you. For substitutions, I will invoice the extra amount or refund if the stamp set or die substitutions are slightly over or under:)
Each BUSY BEE BAG will include at least $22- $25 worth of product in addition to the 8 card kits (2 each of 4 designs) in a reusable bag for storing/organizing. You will be surprised to get DSPs, ribbons, embellishments and/or other great products in your bag- way more than you will use for your products- so you have leftovers to use on other things.
Stamped images and stamp sets are not included but you can add the featured stamp set/dies/bundle to be sent with your BUSY BEE BAG with no shipping added for the featured stamp set/bundle/dies! You can even substitute equal value items! That is…a bundle for a bundle, a stamp for a stamp, die set for a die set etc. and I will pay the shipping on that stamp set/die/bundle and include it in your March 2024 Busy Bee Bag!
REMEMBER…you can use the card kits with any stamp set you have!
