Harvest Hello Note Cards

I love having Stampin’ Up! Parties! And some of my friends (like LaAnna), have discovered the secret to getting a LOT of FREE stuff!

LaAnna is a member of my Stamp Club, so when it’s her month as host, she will have at least a $150 party (and usually more) as part of Club. If she has an outside party, and invites her friends and neighbors, any orders are added to her club orders, so she earns extra FREE stuff.

This option is available to all of my club members, but not many take advantage of it. And, they can have the party in my studio, so they don’t have to do anything except bring snacks!

At LaAnna’s outside party, we had two Make-n-Takes. The first one was the treat box from September’s Paper Pumpkin kit. The second was this cute little note card.

I like using the note cards for Make-n-Takes because they are already pre-cut and scored, and come with an envelope.

Sweetest Thing Birthday

This “sweet” card is one of the simplest cards you’ll ever make. I used an easy split front technique. This gives the card a look of ribbon without any extra effort or expense. The white panel and DSP (designer series paper) are actually cut a bit smaller to allow a strip of the base card to show through.

The only stamping on this card is the sentiment. The candy jar is cut from the coordinating DSP, and there are different shaped jars to choose from. It’s a super quick and easy card and works for both male and female! And who wouldn’t love that beautiful Gorgeous Grape?

Both the Sweetest Thing Bundle and the How Sweet It Is DSP are on the retiring list, so get it now, if you want it! It’s one of my favorites, and I hate to see it go.

Pop of Petals Birthday & Bunny Treat

At April’s monthly class at the local library, we made this simple card and cute bunny treat.

The bunny is made with a strip of cardstock, folded and glued, and holds one Hershey kiss. He even has a cotton ball tail glued on the back.

The card is a simple one using the Pop of Petals and Wishing You Well stamp set, which is on the retiring list.

The greeting is from the Best Bunny set, which is adorable, and also retiring. If you need any of these products, get them soon, before they’re gone forever!

The Occasions Catalog is in full swing, and there are so many beautiful stamps, that I hardly know where to start, but with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I thought I’d begin with this quick and easy card idea.

Stamps: Hey Love

Cardstock: Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Lovely Lipstick, Whisper White

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper: All My Love DSP

Dies: Stitched Shapes, Layering Circles

I hope you enjoy him as much as I do. If you’d like the supplies to make this card, you can purchase them at the link below. I’d love to have your business!

Animal Outing

This was a simple card from last month’s stamp club. It uses the Animal Outing Stamp set. This stamp set also comes in a bundle with dies, although we didn’t use them for this card. The dies also cut out animals in the coordinating DSP, which is always fun!

I made this card with a friend in mind. He had just returned from a mission trip to Africa!

Stamps: Animal Outing

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow, Early Espresso, Whisper White

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Mossy Meadow

Punches: 2” Circle, 2 1/4” Circle, Leaf

Other: Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

Thanks for stopping by!

A Good Day – For Someone Sweet

This is another card from my monthly library class. I love challenging myself to find super cute cards that are quick and easy to make. My biggest challenge is making cards WITHOUT using my Big Shot!

I love dies and embossing folders, but as much as I LOVE my Big Shot, I really hate to lug that thing around! So, I try to design cards that use punches, because they are easy for beginners to use, and easy for me to carry.

I really like the A Good Day stamp set for quick and easy cards. It has cute stamps for different occasions and coordinates with our scallop circle punches.

Stamps: A Good Day

Cardstock: Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Melon Mambo

Ink: Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Memento Tuxedo Black

Punches: 1 3/8” Scallop Circle, 1 1/2” Circle, Triple Banner

Other: Watercolor Pencils, Wink of Stella, Bermuda Bay Sequins (vintage)

Thanks for stopping by!

A Good Day – Just For You

We made this card at the Hardin County Public Library this month. It’s a quick and easy one!

If you’re in our area, I’d love for you to join us for some simple stamping. I teach this class on the second Monday of each month. It’s for beginners and it’s also a great chance for me to use up some of my retired products.

Stamps: A Good Day

Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss, Bermuda Bay, Very Vanilla

Ink: Blackberry Bliss

Paper: Bohemian DSP (vintage)

Punches: Triple Banner, 1 3/8” Scallop Circle, 1 3/4” Circle

Other: Gold Metallic Bakers Twine (vintage)

Stay tuned for another simple card from the library class.

Dandelion Wishes

In my last post, I told you how I like to challenge myself to not let anything go to waste.

If we cut pieces out of one card, I like to try to use them in another card. Or, if we have a layer on our card, I try to cut or punch something from the middle of the layer that gets covered up!

I’ve been doing this for so long, that my friends/customers comment if we have a layer that we use without cutting something from the center! I guess I’ve taught them well!

On this card, the Soft Sea Foam oval and oval “ring” were cut from a previous Follow Your Dream card. If you missed that, you can see it here.

Stamps: Dandelion Wishes, Marbled Background

Cardstock: Mint Macaron, Soft Sea Foam

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, VersaMark

Dies: Layering Ovals Framelits

Other: 5/8” Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon, Mint Macaron Nature’s Twine, White Stampin’ Chalk Marker

Thanks for visiting! If you need any stampin supplies, I’d love to have your order.

Weather Together

Tomorrow is the last day to get the cute bundle I used on this card!! This was a project from May’s Stamp Club.

We used a retired envelope paper, but any pretty Designer Series Paper would work just as well. We also used the notecards and envelopes. They are the perfect size for this project.

Tip: Stamp and cut the umbrella and handle from the DSP (Designer Series Paper) you’re using for your layer. Just be sure to stay away from the edges. Since you’re covering up everything but the edges, it’s a great way to save paper.
