These cards have the perfect slot for you to add that gift card for that special someone! My card base is 11" x 4-1/4", scored at 2-1/4" and at 5-1/2". Use the "balloon string" thinlits to die cut your slot. You will have to do it twice to make it a tad longer. Add tear & tape to adhere the flap. The Party Animal designer series paper is 3" x 4". The cardstock strips on the front are 3" long and either 1-1/4" wide or 1-1/2" wide. Stampin'Up! supplies are below. Happy stamping!

This technique is called the Faux Frames technique and I was inspired by the talented Sandi MacIver, a Canadian demonstrator. If you google Stampin'Up! Faux Frames video, hers should come up. Basically, you have a clear window sheet that you draw your lines around after stamping and after first marking the corners with a pencil mark. Then you stamp, leaving your corners open (no stamping over the corners). Then you place your window sheet over, and draw your line with a fine tip black sharpie on the areas not stamped. My window sheet is 4" x 2 3/4", and my white pieces are either 4 3/4" x 3.5", or 5" x 3 3/4". Some I did a black layer that is 1/8" larger. The flower cards are pretty much a copy of Sandi's with a few tweaks, but the balloon one is my attempt. I used Wink of Stella Clear on my balloons adding a pretty shimmer! Supplies are below for both styles.

Loving the new High Tide stamp set from page 25 of the Stampin'Up! Occasions catalog. It has great sentiments but wanted a birthday greeting so that is from the Wetlands stamp set. The talented Tina Zinck from Nova Scotia made a fabulous card and this is a tweaking of hers, with minimal changes. I used the Envelope Punch Board to round all my corners but you could also use the Project Life Corner Rounder. I did emboss the greeting with Clear embossing powder after I stamped with the Night of Navy firm foam pad, which leaves it wet long enough to emboss. My other card with the gold embossing is the one that is pretty much exactly like Tina's, with the exception of the sentiment. This is a fabulous set for making masculine cards and it would work with several different sentiments, depending on the occasion! Supplies are below!

Yummy! Ice cream sundaes are a weakness of mine, especially if chocolate is added! This is a tweak of Ronda Wade's sample but the only thing the same is the white oval! I want to point out that the sundae dish is made with the Tasty Treats Washi tape over Crumb Cake cardstock, and then die cut with the framelits. My card base is Chocolate Chip and the sundae topping is Early Espresso. Stampin'Up! supplies are shown below. This is a fun bundle on pages 32 & 33 of the new Occasions Catalog!

Here are the leggings I just had to buy because I have this Lift Me Up stamp set and the coordinating Up & Away dies that can be purchased as a bundle, saving you 10%! The purple color is actually more of a Rich Razzleberry so I used that. I also used the Clear Wink of Stella to add shimmer to the smaller hot air balloons but the shimmer does not show up in the pictures. Which large hot air balloon do you like better? The one with the black or the white detail? Stampin'Up! supplies are shown below. Please when you order, do not choose No Contact.
