Playful Pals stamp set, Pyramid Pals dies, Tic Tac holder

WWC56-Anything Goes

This is my submission for this week's Watercooler Wednesday challenge, Anything Goes!  Check it out here!

Just had to make a St. Patrick's Day favor and am on a frog kick lately so here goes!  My Thick White cardstock is  3" x 4-3/4", scored at 2" and 2-3/4" the long way.  I used the 7/8" scalloped circle punch for the mouth but a circle punch would work, too.  My inside designer paper is 1-7/8" x 2-7/8".  My twine is on the Tear and Tape, and I used mini glue dots behind the Tic Tac container. My frog colors are Mint Macaron and Mossy Meadow, the same colors that are in the Botanical Garden designer series paper.  The "go, green" sentiment is from the Greatest Greetings stamp set and the "Happy St. Patrick's Day" is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. My frog is made using the new bundle from Stampin'Up! Occasions catalog, pages 44 & 45.

WWC56 - Anything Goes!

The Playful Pals stamp set makes cute cards, don't you think?  And where, oh, where, did I get that sentiment stamp?  Why, from the Alphabet Rotary stamp, of course.  I think most of us forget we even have this available!  It is on page 132 of the current annual Stampin'Up! catalog, #133769, for only $15.00.  It has 13 spaces across and you can use alphabet letters, numbers, and some symbols.  I am submitting this for the Anything Goes challenge!  Click on the link below and add your own submission.

WWC55 - Jean's Colour Challenge

This week's Watercooler Wednesday challenge is a color challenge using Pacific Point, Mint Macaron, Perfect Plum, Tempting Turquoise, and Silver! My silver is using heat embossing on the words from the stamp set, Bravo!  Click here to check it out and to add your own sample!

 Had some questions on how I did this so here you go.  I cut a wavy line across a rectangular piece of window sheet.  Then just put them down on your cardstock, spread apart, and temporarily adhere with washi tape.  Sponge a color on the open area with a sponge dauber.  When done with one color, move the window sheets down, covering the one color you just did and sponge a new color (wave). The sentiment was curved on my clear block which was easy to do with a photopolymer stamp.  Glad you liked this technique!

Lots of Playful Pals stamp set cards!

The chick, elephant, and lion card in the front are my creations.  The others are tweaked and/or cased from others, mainly Aubrey Paxton.  This stamp set is so much fun and it has the coordinating Pyramid Pals framelits to cut out all these different shapes for you!  And it can be purchased as a bundle and if you buy the bundle this month or next, you will qualify for a FREE Sale a Bration item and 3 more choices become available tomorrow! This bundle is in the Stampin'Up! Occasions catalog!

Playful Pals stamp set makes cute cards, too!

I just lost my post so am trying this again, grrr!  Just showing you can make cute cards without pairing it with the Pyramid Pals Thinlits dies.  These are fun to make.  Am just going to post before I lose it again.  Enjoy!

Playful Pals stamp set, Pyramid Pals Thinlits Dies bundle

Aren't these critters cute?  They are fun to make with the bundle in the Stampin'Up! Occasions catalog, page 44 and 45.  You can purchase this separately, but I don't know why you would want to.  Save 15% and start creating!  #141069 $59.50.  And you qualify for a FREE Sale a Bration item, too!  More savings!  I did the back flap by scoring at 1.25" up from the bottom, snip the flap at the score line and just add adhesive to the bottom part of the flaps.  This way you can access the candy but still have it closed.  You can just not adhere the whole back but this works great, too.  I just added a tail or a heart to have a "pull". Erica Cerwin shared this tip for the half flap. Use cardstock or designer paper.  Oooh, the possiblities!  Click here to order!

Valentine Wreath using the Season to Season Wreath

I used all current Stampin'Up! product except for the wreath which is retired.  The hearts are from the Sweetheart punch and the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, the Bear Hugs framelits, and the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits.  Also used the Bloomin' Love stamp set, and the Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Dies. Also the Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit, Gold Glimmer paper and Cherry Cobbler cardstock and ink!  Love, love!

Sunburst Sayings stamp set, Sunburst Die

My card base is Mint Macaron and I cut the It's My Party dsp stack at 4 inches wide so I get more card fronts from a sheet of 12 x 12 paper.  I added the Basic Black border to make up the difference.  My 1 3/4" circle and the stars are Dazzling Diamonds or Gold Glimmer paper.  My sentiment is from the Sunburst Sayings stamp set, and is punched with a 1 3/8" circle punch, layered onto a Black 1 1/2" circle.  This stamp set and die can be purchased as bundle saving you 15% and is on page 25 of the Stampin'Up! Occasions catalog.

Party Wishes stamp set, Gift Card Card Holder

I tweaked this from Jill Hilliard who tweaked hers from a BJ.  You could use any stamp set with this, but the It's My Party Suite works great as it all coordinates beautifully.  The Party Wishes stamp set and the Party Punch Pack can be purchased as a bundle, saving you 15%.  The It's My Party Designer Series Paper stack is a fabulous pad of 12 x 12 paper, 48 sheets, 4 each of 12 double sided designs!  My card base is Mint Macaron, cut at 4.25 x 11, and then scored at 2.25 and 5.5 the long way.  Stamp on the short scored area, notch it with a 1" circle punch, and adhere with the tear and tape adhesive.  The inside Whisper White is 4 x 5.25.  The front dsp is 3 x 4, and the Mint Macaron and Whisper White strips are 3 x 1.5, and 3 x 3.25. I tied a bow in the Baker's Twine, also part of this suite, and adhered with a mini glue dot.  I used Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, and Archival Basic Black inks.  The new product is found on pages 4, 5, and 6 of the Stampin'Up! Occasions catalog. My downline and stamp clubs made this card for January!
