Heart Shaped Bundle

I made this card using the Heart Shaped Bundle (pictured below) - which is a set of stamps and coordinating dies that you can choose for free with a qualifying order during Sale-a-bration (now through February 28, 2025.)  This could be the perfect Valentine's Day card for someone special - or it can also be used for a wedding or anniversay by switching out the colors.  I used Real Red card stock for the card base and one layer.  The flowers and mat are made using Pretty in Pink card stock.  I embossed the white layer using the Starstruck embossing folder which is another Sale-a-bration item.

The card above is absolutely the sweetest in Real Life!  I embossed a piece of our new Two-Tone 12 x 12 card stock with the Eyelet 3D embossing folder.  Then I took a sanding sponge and lightly sanded on the embossing - which reveals the white inner core of this card stock.  So pretty!  I stamped the heart image using Pretty in Pink ink - then layered the Soft Sea Foam die cut directly on the stamped image.  The greeting on this card is from the Heart Shaped stamp set and I used a retired punch to make the label.  The white ribbon is a beautiful iridescent - adding a bit of elegance to the card. 

I stamped the heart on this card using Summer Splash ink, and the heart was die cut from Pretty Petunia glimmer paper.

I think these two cards are stunning in their simplicity.  I used Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper to die cut the hearts.  This pack of paper is another item you could choose for FREE during Sale-a-bration, with a qualifying order. 

Now is the perfect time to stock up on your basics - and splurge on some new stamp sets and dies, so that you can choose one or more of the Sale-a-bration items I featured today.

Saturday Sketch #3 & 11 Months until Christmas!

 

Here's another card that I made for a sketch challenge.  I changed it up a bit - so that I could use a punch to make it quick and easy!  I used the Snow Days designer series paper that was featured in the Sep/Dec mini catalog - and is still availble in the online store, while supplies last.  Since today is the 25th - I thought it would be a good time to remind you that Christmas will be here again in just 11 short months!  If you start now - and make just 4 cards each month - you will have 40 cards ready to send out at the beginning of December.

Here is the sketch that I used to make my card:

Pop Up Gift Bag card

This is a card that I made with new products from Stampin' Up!  Look at the fun surprise inside this card - a gift bag that pops up when the card is opened!  A gift card will easily fit inside the bag.

The Designer Series Paper that I used to make this card,Wildflower Birthday, is absolutely gorgeous.  I love the mix of bright and pastel colors and I especially love the dies cut sheets that are included in the pack of paper. 

Below is another card that I made using the same supplies, with a little fun fold.  I even pulled out my embossing powders and heat tool to make this one.

You can put a pop up gift bag in any card - it doesn't have to be as fancy as the first two cards above.  The card below is very quick and easy.  I featured it on an earlier blog post HERE.

Watch the video below to see how to make this pop up gift bag.

Here are the measurements for how to cut and score the paper to make this pop up gift bag.

Below are some of the products I used to make this card.  Add them to you shopping cart and give this card a try!
