Christmas 2018

These are some of the Christmas cards that I sent in 2018.  The cards on the left were made using Stampin' Up!'s AWESOME Designer Series Paper.  The best thing about Stampin' Up!'s products is that the colors coordinate PERFECTLY.   Below is a closer look at two versions of the same card - but each is made with a different set of paper.

The cards below were made with a kit from the 2018 Holiday Catalog.  They are GORGEOUS in real life - and they were so easy and quick to put together.  This kit sold out so quickly that I didn't have a chance to teach the class that I had planned.  SO if you see a kit you like in the new Occasions catalog - be sure to order it NOW - so you won't miss out! 

The cards on the far right in the top photo were extra cards that I had made several years ago at a stamp club class.  I sent these to stamping friends who had already made the other cards with me!

There are only 11 months until Christmas!  It is never too early to start on this year's Christmas cards!

Be Mine

These are some of the Valentine's cards I made when cutting into the All My Love designer series paper from Stampin' Up!  This paper is so pretty in real life!  I also used the Meant to Be Stamp set, coordinating Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies, Sunshine Wishes Thinlits, the Layering Circles Dies, and the sprig punch.

When I opened the Be Mine Framelits Dies, I was surprised to see all the extra dies that were included.  These dies can easily be used on their own - without the coordinating stamp set.  I used my Big Shot to cut out each of the shapes that is included in this set.  Then I glued them on a sheet of card stock which I can easily slip into a page protector for reference.  Two of the dies just make the stitching marks and can be used together with a larger die - or on their own to add interest to a project.  So many possibilities!

Meant to Be....1, 2, & 3

Below are three cards that I made using the ALL MY LOVE Designer Series paper and the MEANT TO BE stamp set and dies bundle from the new Occasions catalog from Stampin' Up!  You can't get much simpler than the card below.  I cut a piece of the patterned paper, adhered it to a Crumb Cake card base, and then stamped the greeting in the corner using Lovely Lipstick ink. #simplestamping

The card below is also very easy to make.  I started with a Lovely Lipstick card base.  I adhered a piece of designer series paper (4 x 3) to the top of the card front.  Then I stamped the greeting and small hearts on a 1 3/4 x 4 piece of Whisper White card stock, and adhered that to the bottom of the card.  This proves YOU can make a beautiful card with just paper, ink and stamps! #simplestamping

The last card I am showing you today is also easy - but you will need a Big Shot and a few dies.  (Come to one of my classes and use mine!)  The card base is Flirty Flamingo card stock.  I put a black card stock mat behind a piece of the designer series paper.  Then I cut two hearts from Whisper White card stock using the Be Mine Stitched Framelits dies.  Finally, I cut the "love" using the Sunshine Wishes dies.  I cut 3 of them using Basic Black card stock -glued them together using liquid glue - then glued it to the card front.

Of course I could have added ribbon or other embellishments to all of these cards.  But Stampin' Up! is encouraging us to reach out to new stampers - and to keep cards simple - to show how easy it is to make a beautiful card.

Come to one of my classes or events - and you I will help you get started on this creative journey!

All My Love

I was a busy girl over the weekend!  I finally pulled out some of the items that I ordered from the new Occasions catalog and made these cards.  Even though they appear to be Valentines - they can easily be adapted for birthday, wedding, or thinking of you cards.

I was so proud of myself because I actually cut into each design of the ALL MY  LOVE designer series paper.  (Next step will be to use the patterns on the reverse side!)

I really love layers and like to have some part of the card "popped up" with dimensionals.  But Stampin' Up! is encouraging us to find new stampers and go back to the basics with #simplestamping.  So two of the cards involve no layers - just stamps, ink, and paper.

Stop back to get specifics of each card - and to see more projects made with the MEANT TO BE bundle of products.
