Stampin’ Up Bloom by Bloom Triple Panel Stand Up Card Video Tutorial

March 13, 2019

Stampin’ Up’s Bloom by Bloom…BIG and BOLD says it all!

I wanted to show off the BOLD images along with the
BIG splash of colors in the Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper
so I made a Triple Panel Stand Up card.

Here is a video showing you how to make one:

I love the sentiment in the All Adorned Stamp Set available as a free gift with a Sale-a-bration purchase until March 31, 2019.

There are even three little punches called BITTY BLOOMS that come bundled with the Stampin’ Up Bloom by Bloom stamp set.
Three of them cut out images in the Designer Series Paper. See the second one from the right?
The oval makes little petals that go around the circle which becomes the middle of the flower so you can make your own little cardstock posies!

Stampin’ Up Vertical Greetings- So Simple!

March 8, 2019

Happy Friday, friends! Hoping you all have a great weekend ahead…

I have had the Stampin’ Up Vertical Greetings forever…
and just inked it up! Maybe I was waiting for the Stamparatus?
Let me tell you, it made stamping the topiaries in a straight line so easy with the Hinge Stamping Technique!

I just lined up the topiary on the horizontal and hinge stamped three of them and then flipped my card upright.
Actually, I could have done it vertically (as the stamp name says, lol) and just pulled the acrylic plate from the top, too!
I also had the sentiment lined up on another plate so it was straight when it stamped on the panel:)

You can choose from three different potted plants and 6 versatile sentiments in the set…so fun!

Stampin’ Up Humming Along Bundle – Heat Emboss in any Color with a Stamparatus Video Tutorial

February 20, 2019

It happens every catalog…I see a bundle…pass it over…then, say…
hmmm, I am going to take a second look at it…

And, by golly, I LOVE it!! The Stampin’ Up Humming Along Bundle is just fabulous!
Look at that huge bloom and that lovely hummingbird.

I even made it stand out more on my card by heat embossing it in black.
Watch my video to see how I did it with Memento, Versamark, and my handy Stamparatus…

*Thank you to Carol for her reminder of SU carrying black embossing powder item #146956…I was actually thinking how we did not carry Black Craft Ink anymore that we could emboss with clear and get no strays!!!! I loved this technique because we could use CLEAR instead of BLACK embossing powder because it is neater:)

Notice that die cut negative in the middle of the birthday card? Isn’t that cool?
I can’t wait to use the blue die cut that came out on some other card.

Measurements:
Whisper White Thick Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ on 11″ side, 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ for images, 3/4″ x 4″ strip on bottom

Stampin’ Up Tea Together with Tea Time Framelits

February 15, 2019

Time to relax with some tea after an emotional day. I am at my bestie’s house in my hometown, what a comforting place to be after my grandfather’s funeral today. And what a celebration of his life it was…complete with a 21 gun salute outside to honor his service in WW II.
The sermon fit perfectly- “The Measure of a Man”. The minister’s points reflected how the measurement of a man is seen in those he touched.

So, as I sit in refection, waiting for the teapot to whistle
(yes, she always uses a teapot with a whistler while I do my boring hot water machine) …
I thought I would show you a card I made using the Stampin’ Up Tea Together Stamp Set with the Sale-a-Bration Tea Time Framelits.

Oh, how I love that Lace Embossing Folder. I actually used the debossed side of the folder.
I love that both sides are equally stunning!

You can get the Tea Time Framelits FREE with a $100 purchase during Sale-a-Bration.

Stampin’ Up By The Bay Sale-a-Bration Gift

January 21, 2018

Good Monday Mornin’, friends! I have a sweet notecard for you today.

I made this card using a FREE stamp set you can get as a gift during Sale-a Bration!

You can see ALL the fun offerings for Sale-a-Bration HERE.

Of course, you know by now that I am loving my Rectangle Stitched Framelits.
And, I think the majority of the cards I make has a Stitched Shapes Frame in one way or another.
The stitches give a wonderful finished, professional look, don’t you agree?

The serene scene in this stamp set lends itself to a thinking of you/sympathy/get well card.
I used the Well Said Bundle for my sentiments. I will be using that one a lot on my cards!

Take a look at the Well Said Bundle:

In case your brain is like mine and finds it hard to read the die cut words …they are:

happy, you, birthday, thanks,baby, sympathy, hooray, love, wishes, miss, friend, bride, groom, and welcome
with a bird, a butterfly, posies, and leaves thrown in for good measure!
