Finally got a handle on my taxes and have pretty much recovered from my shingles so took time to create today. Just had my entire post disappear so this will be a short repeat, grrrr. The Just Kidding stamp set is the final monthly photopolymer release and I love it! Also used Adventure Bound designer series paper stack and the Bermuda Bay Sequin trim, from the Stampin'Up! Occasions catalog. My card base is Basic Grey with a layer of Island Indigo, and Whisper White for the inside. I stamped with Basic Grey ink. The feather stamp set and framelits are on page 49 of the same catty and are available as a carry over.

This funny new set is just what you need for laughs that will last. It's so versatile, you'll find yourself using it over and over again. Recommended clear block sizes are D, G (not included in the set). |
Here is a card I quickly did to help one of my downline figure out measurements via email for a card she saw online. My strip of dsp is retired but you could use any. My basic black card base is 5.5 x 5.5 inches, and scored at 4.25". My dsp strip is 1 x 5.25. My main image is on Very Vanilla, 2.75 x 3.5, layered on a black piece, 3 x 3.75 inches. Inside Very Vanilla is 4 x 5.25. I stamped with Mossy Meadow and Crisp Cantaloupe and Memento Black. The sentiment is included in this stamp set. I am struggling with shingles these days and have taxes to do, so my posts will be fewer until I get through this. Hope you like today's card!
This is my swap card I made for our monthly team meeting. This stamp set makes such pretty cards. I paired it with the coordinating Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper, #137784, $10.95, page 19 of the Stampin'Up! Occasions catalog. Painted Petals stamp set is on the same page and is available in Wood, Clear, or Photopolymer. My card base is Whisper White with a layer of Soft Sky. My strip of dsp is 1.5" x 4', and the top layer is 3 x 3. I used Memento Black ink for the sentiment which is included in this stamp set. I also used Mossy Meadow and Pacific Point inks for the flowers. This is a quick and simple layout, and just so pretty and spring like!
I was inspired by a Leadership shoebox swap by Lorrie J. Skinner. I used a different stamp set, color, and punches but it is basically the same layout. I used the Lots of Thanks stamp set, page 150 of the annual Stampin'Up! catalog and the 2013-2015 Backgrounds Designer Series Paper Stack, #130136, page 187. My card base is Strawberry Slush with a layer of Whisper White, textured with the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions embossing folder, #132174. My bigger circles are punched with the 1 3/4" circle punch and the smaller one is the 1 3/8" circle punch. The flower is punch with this shape from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, a set of 3 different punches, #133787, page 222. It is then finished off with a Basic Rhinestone. My black piece is 2" x 5.2". Hope you like! I call this a Robin card as one of my downline, Robin, loves circles!
Which do you like better? The silver "happy" or the blackberry Bliss "happy"? The card base on both is Sahara Sand with a layer of the Something Borrowed designer series paper, page 42, #137785. The Something Borrowed Embellishment is also from the same page, #137855, $6.95. I also used the White Jute Ribbon, #137904, page 43, $8.95, and tied it with the 1/8" Silver Ribbon. The "happy" is die cut using the Hello You thinlits, #137363, $24.95, page 31. This is paired with the Crazy About You stamp set, same page, and is available as a bundle choice saving you 15%. All products listed are from the Stampin'Up! Occasions Catalog. This card is a 3 x 6 inch size, but I can make an envelope using the same designer series paper with my Envelope punch board. Hope you like!
The basket is die cut from the designer series paper cardboard like piece that comes in your package. I know I have coaster board but can not find it, grrrrrrrrrr. So decided to try the heavy white piece and see how it works, and it works great! I then cut 2 pieces from the In Color designer series paper stack, page 185 of the Stampin'Up! annual catalog, #130136, Crisp Cantaloupe sheet. I did cut about 1/8" off each end of both the dsp pieces since the white piece is thicker. This Berry Basket Bigz L Die is on page 21 of the Occasions catalog, #137366, $37.95. I could have added a handle but like it this way so that I can stack them for storage or traveling to clubs or workshops. I used the Bow Builder punch, 137414, $16.95, to make the bow on the front. Buy both of these and you qualify for a FREE Sale a Bration item! Woo Hoo! But hurry as Sale a Bration ends March 31st! Four new choices have been added for March. Check them out on my online store here.
The idea for using the Berry Basket Bigz L Die, page 21 of the Stampin'Up! Occasions catalog, came from Mary Brown, stamper camper. I winged it and did it my own way and used different colors and stamp set. Die cut one of the basket pieces, which is Cajun Craze here. Fold over the one slotted end over the middle and trim straight across. I did not use the other end. Then take one of the scalloped strips and center around the top, front and back, and adhere. I then cut a piece 2.5 x 3.5 inches. Be careful where you stamp the sentiment so that it doesn't show through the slots! I used the B.Y.O.P. stamp set from page 33. I love the sentiments in this photopolymer set for enclosing gift cards or money! You can attach a gift card behind this inside piece with a mini glue dot or just stick it behind but in the "flower pot". I stamped 2 different flowers with the Petal Potpourri stamp set, page 23, then punched it out with the coordinating Flower Medallion Punch, on the same page. This is available as a bundle, saving you 15%, and who doesn't like to save money! My flowers are Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry, with Mossy Meadow leaves. This gift card fits in a medium envelope.
Love how the What's Up punch coordinates with this house from the FREE Sale a Bration You Brighten My Day stamp set. This can be your FREE choice when you purchase $50 subtotal. The sentiment is from another FREE Sale a bration choice, the Simply Wonderful stamp set. My card base is Whisper White with another layer of Whisper White. I put my Stacked With Love Washi tape on first and folded the excess to the back of the layer. Then using my Stamp a Ma jig, I stamped the houses with the Black memento ink pad above the tape and also on a scrap piece of Basic Gray cardstock. This is popped up dimensionals. The sentiment is then stamped below the washi tap. I punched out red hearts with the Hearts Border punch to add some color. Quick and simple!
Besides using the Project Life card kits for documenting your memories, you can use them to make other fun stuff, such as the Hershey snack bar wrapper or the cello bag treats or even a card! I stamped the sentiment Best Day Ever in Bermuda Bay. This greeting is from the Best Day Ever Sale a Bration stamp set, a free choice if you purchase $50 before tax and shipping! The Hippity Hoppity is from the And Many More stamp set, page 20 of the Stampin'Up! annual catalog. This is one of those must have sets that has 23 different sentimets, all of which can be punched out with the Modern Label punch. I added Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, and Basic Black cardstock. See the Crushed Curry dots on the card? They are from the Let's Get Away Project Life accessory kit (#137908, $9.95) which coordinates with the cards I used from the Let's Get Away Project Life Card Collection (#137907, $15.95). Both are on page 47 of the Occasions Catalog.
