Finally trying the Layering Circles Swirls! Not sure what this technique is called but it is fun and easy! I chose colors from the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper for my circles. Cut them in half and then layer them. My black strip is 1" x 4", on a Basic White 4" x 5.25" layer. My card base is 8.5" x 5.5", scored @ 4.25". I used the same colors for my letters from the Playful Alphabet Dies! This alphabet die set has been neglected but is so handy to have! My images are fussy cut from the designer series paper, but there is a punch for them. Check out the Cute Halloween Suite on pages 50 & 51 of the July-December Stampin'Up! Mini Catalog. And remember that you can earn a FREE Sale a Bration choice with a $50 order! A great time to make that purchase! Supplies are below. Just click to order! Happy stamping!

Use the ONE stamp, Many Messages, with the ONE Messages Die, to die cut 19 sentiments with one pass, through your die cutting machine! Use this same die to die cut 19 other sentiments from the Many Happenings stamp set, page 42 of the annual catalog. I die cut a foil piece from this same die, and placed it behind my sentiment on the first card. I used my Stamparatus with this ONE stamp. Use a piece of card stock that is 5.25 x 6.25 so that you are able to get the whole image stamped and have enough room for the die to die cut around the sentiment. Just saying, not to skimp on your card stock! Line up your die with the heart and star images, and wow, you have an assortment of sentiments to have ready to add to a simple card layout, just like this one. Let the designer series paper do the work for you! My card base is 5.5 x 5.25, scored @ 4.25, on the shorter side. Cut your designer series paper @ 4" x 5.5, with a strip of foil or glimmer paper if wanted, 5.5 x .5. This Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper is beautiful! And this way, you can see the backside on the inside of your card. My sentiment for the inside is from the Always in My Heart stamp set, and the hearts on the front are from the Messages Die.

I thought these images from the Sweet Little Stockings Bundle would work great with the Give It a Whirl Dies. What do you think? I did find that when you use die cut images, the "wheel" catches and doesn't turn as easily, so I just did another "wheel" from the Window Sheets to put on top. No more catching! I showed on another post, here, how to use the tag die included to fit your sentiment. Here is a video I made, showing how I did another Give It a Whirl card. Stampin'Up! supplies are below.

I was looking for a die to fit this sentiment, but then I decided to just make the included die work. Stamp the sentiment, place die over it as shown, and die cut. Flip it as shown, then place behind the die, and move until you feel it catch. Then die cut again. Works beautifully! My Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper on the same card is your whole card front, and the backside of the dsp is your inside card layer. So you get to see both sides of the paper on this card. I should have taken a pic, but forgot. I cut the dsp at 4" x 5.5", and my card base is 5.5" x 5.25", scored @ 1" on the shorted side. Place a strip of the Be Dazzling Sale a Bration Free paper, and then your designer series paper. Add the dots or ribbon to your bundle and you can earn the Be Dazzling designer series paper FREE or pick a different choice. Measurements for the top fun fold card are: Card Base is 4.25 x 11", scored @ 5.5" & 6.75". DSP strips are 1" x 4", and 4" x 4". The white focal layer is 2" x 3.5", and the matte layer is 2.25" 3.75". I used the Tailored Tag Punch to make my notches for the ribbon. I think this is called a Book binding Fun fold card. I have made several cards with this fold, with many different papers and stamps/bundles. Stampin'Up! supplies are below. Just click to order.

Most of the images are die cut from the coordinating Sweet Stockings designer series paper from page 31 of the July-December Mini Catalog. The sentiments for the front and inside are one stamp but it was too large for my card front, so I stamped it and then used my snips to cut them apart. If you are a pet lover, check out the Sweet Stockings Suite on pages 30-31! Stampin'Up! supplies are below and I will send you a card made with this bundle if you order it from me. The bundle and the Matte decorative Dots come to $55.50, so then you would earn a FREE Sale a Bration choice as well! Check out my other sample made with this bundle here. Happy stamping!

The tag shaped die is included with the Sweet Little Stockings Bundle. I adhered my 1/4" x 2.5" strips to a piece of Window Sheet that was 2.5 x 4.5. After I die cut my piece, I put adhesive strips behind the strips so they don't show through, which gives the "floating strips" look. I die cut the stocking right from the Sweet Stockings 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. Stampin'Up! supplies are below. Just click to order, and I will send you a card as a thank you! Happy stamping!

My first attempt at the Floating Strip Technique! This was really easy to do, and I plan on trying other color combos, shapes, and stamp sets. I wanted to use the Cutest Halloween Bundle and the Cute Halloween designer series paper, so I chose my strip colors from the designer series paper. My strips are 1/4" x 3", and adhered with the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (light touch of glue) onto a 3 x 3 Window Sheet square. I did trim an end off as I was ending with a clear area instead of a cardstock strip. The trick to make it "floating" is to add adhesive strips behind a few of the colored strips! Easy peasy! TIP: Place your window sheet over some grid paper. I used the Stamparatus grid paper. This way you can keep your strips straight! I am thinking of die cutting one a different shape, maybe from the Hippo & Friends Dies. The possibilities are endless. Love this bundle, and the Halloween Punch did punch my cat face and the ghost from the designer series paper. Stampin'Up! supplies are below, and if you order this bundle from me, I will send you a card made with it! And it is Sale a Bration now, (August & September), so you earn FREE with qualifying orders! Happy stamping!
