Old and New Go Hand In Hand

 

Every now and then a conversation will come up in a facebook group or at a crop event about what people do with thier Stampin' Up! catalogues once they retire.  Some recycle them, some tear out the pages that they have the coordinating stamp sets too and some keep the catologue in it's entirety. I think I would tend to fall more towards the last group.

More with Snail Mail

Hi there!  Quick post today to share a few more cards made with the Snail Mail bundle.  These cards are larger then your standard A2, and measure 6"x6".  It was fun to switch things up a bit and in the process, use up some of my 12x12 cardstock.

Easter Cards Day 2

 Welcome back!  As promised, today I am going to share two more cards I made using the Gift of Hope and Springtime Joy stamp sets.

Hopefully you've had a chance to check out these two adorable stamp sets yourself, but if you haven't yet you can do so HERE or by following the links I've shared in my videos!

Easter Cards

 Lately I have been playing around with the Gift of Hope and Springtime Joy stamp sets found in the Jan-Jun Mini Catalogue. I like these two stamp sets because not only are they a great price point, but they work really well together to create sweet and simple cards.

Today I'm going to share a card I made with the Gift of Hope stamp set Then, tomorrow I will be back to share one card I made combining the two stamp sets together, and another using just the Springtime Joy stamp set.

Thank You Card Sets

It's always fun to add ribbons and embellishments to cards, but every now and then I like to keep it really simple and let the paper and stamps do all the talking.

This was exactly the case here when I created these thank you card sets.  I used Flower and Field DSP, Heal Your Heart and A Touch of Ink stamps set all of which are part of Sale-a-Bration.

I hate to see you go!

Today I'm sharing cards I made using the Darling Donkey's stamp set.  If you haven't taken advantage of Sale-a-Bration and gotten your own Darling Donkey's stamp set, time is running out!  Sale-a-Bration ends February 28th!!

All of the cards I'm sharing today were also made with the Playing With Patterns DSP found in the annual catalogue.  I have to admit, purple is not my go to colour, but with these adorable donkey's any colour looks great!

Snail Play

Happy Wednesday!  Today I thought I would share a few fun little cards I whipped up, using the Snail Mail suite collection.  How can you not love these sweet little snails right!?!?

For my first card I went with two busy patterns and matted them both with blushing bride cardstock.  I coloured in my snail with Stampin' Blends and then, using a white gel pen, added some hand stitching to the border.  I think the chalk ink marker would work well for this too if you have it.

Happy Valentines Day

Here are some sweet little cards I put together using the Lots of Heart Bundle and Darling Donkeys stamp set.  The Jan-Jun mini catalogue has a few really beautiful heart themed stamp sets, but I was really drawn to the simplicity of the Lots of Heart set.

I chose to accent my card with Flower and Field DSP which, along with the Darling Donkeys, are part of the Sale-a-Bration brochure right now. 

Berry Blessings

One of the sets I was really drawn to in the Saleabration mini brochure was the Berry Blessings stamp set and Berry Delightful DSP.  The bright colours and berry images instantly brings an air of light and cheerfulness during the cold snowy days we are having right now.

On my first card I chose to stamp the images in deep purples for blackberries.  You could easily use the same images as raspeberries as well.  I chose a simple but sweet design that lets the papers really take centre stage.

Springtime Joy

This past weekend I was lucky enough to take part in a mini catalogue convention which focused on the new Jan-Jun 2021 mini catalogue.  It was fantastic and I came away feeling excited and energized!

I've set a few goals and aim to have some new and exciting things to share with everyone soon.  In the meantime, I wanted to share two adorable cards I made using the Springtime Joy cling stamp set.

Dragonfly Garden Part 2

 Hi there!  A quick post today to share a few more cards created with the Dragonfly Garden bundle and Peony Garden DSP.

This first card is a thank you card but the same design could easily be wedding, anniversay, birthday..

Playing With Patterns CASE

Hi there! Today I'm sharing a card design that was created by the lovely Rachel Tessman.  You can see how to put this card together, including all the measurements over on Rachel's Blog HERE.

I was really drawn to how well this card design showcased the Playing with Patterns DSP.  The design is fun and playful, yet simple to create.

Dragonfly Garden

 In the new Jan-Jun Mini catalogue there is a Dragonfly Garden Bundle which features a beautiful stamp set and coordinating dragonfly punch. Here are just a few of the cards I've made with what is sure to be a much loved set.

The paper used here is from the Peony Garden DSP and it really gives these cards a nice soft and elegant feel.  

Darling Donkeys

It's Sale-A-Bration time again! I have a few really fun cards to share with you today that were created with the Darling Donkey's sale-a-bration set, and the Oh So Ombre DSP pack.

For those who are not familiar, Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration is a sales period in which you are able to choose a FREE Sale-A-Bration product with every $60 or $120 you spend (before tax and shipping)! It runs from January 5th to February 28th, 2021.

A Touch of Ink

In my last post I shared a card that showcased two of the products available in the upcoming Sale-A-Bration brochure.  Today I wanted to share another card I made with the Touch of Ink stamp set.

We are big fans of hummingbirds here, so I was naturally drawn to this stamp set.  You can use the shadow stamps in the set like I have here, or you could choose to stamp the images alone and colour them in yourself with your favorite medium. I think the sketch style design of the hummingbird and flowers would make for really pretty water colour images too.

Thank you so much

Hi there!  I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Plenty of turkey, family zoom chats and laughter were shared here.  It was different for sure, but I am thankful that we were all able to connect in some form or another.

Which brings me to the thank you card I'm sharing today!  With the bluster of Christmas in the review mirror, we can now focus our excitement on the upcoming SALE-A-BRATION with Stampin' Up! Whoot whoot!

Walk In The Woods

If you are looking for a stamp set of encouragement with a few really sweet images, Walk In The Woods is the stamp set I would recommend.

It has the nicest sentiments in this stamp set, like 'wishing you every kind of wonderful' and 'thanks for being marvelous'.
