Rainbows of Happiness!!!

Posted on

I love Rainbows! There is something magical about them and they bring joy after the storm. Claire is our little rainbow baby which makes me love them even more! When the Rainbows of Happiness Set came out, I knew I had to have it! I also super love bright colors too!!!

This card is super cute and I love the colors – Magenta Madness, Bermuda Bay, and Mango Melody! It is also one of the cards in my Online Stamp Class for January! Join us on Facebook where I make this card and 4 others tomorrow evening – January 14th at 7:30 p.m. CT!

Some fun tips for the card are to start with the center rainbow first and then space the top and bottom one after that. Another tip would be to start with the largest arch first that way you know the rest will fit because they are smaller.

The only hard thing about this card is that you have to clean the stamps a few times since the colors are switched up for each rainbow! If you were to make multiples, I suggest stamping all of the one size/color on each piece and then switching rather than doing one at a time.

For the inside of the card, I added a strip of the Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper which is one of the Sale-A-Bration items that you can earn for FREE with a $50 order! Click the items listed below so you can create this Rainbows of Happiness Card!

Join in tomorrow evening to watch me create this card as well as 4 others using the Rainbow Suite from the New January to June Mini Catalog! You can also purchase the PDF Tutorial for these 5 cards by clicking here!

Wonderful Woven Look!!!

Posted on

Happy Monday!!! I hope you all had a great weekend!!! Family time over here so it was amazing!!! 🙂 Today, I’m sharing this fun card with a wonderful woven look using the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder!!!

Wonderful woven look, www.LaurasStampPad.com

They call it Coastal Weave. What do you think it look likes? We had this discussion at class. Some said a basket or maybe chevron. Let me know in the comments what you think!

I got this card idea from the amazing, Sandy Carlson. It was so fabulous I just had to recreate it!!! I started with a Bermuda Bay card base. Next, I took another piece of Bermuda Bay (4″ x 5-1/4″) and embossed it with the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder. Then I added a piece of the Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper to the lower half of the embossed piece and added some Daffodil Delight Ruched Ribbon along the seam. I secured the ends of the ribbon the back side with adhesive!

Then for the greeting, I used the Layering Circles Framelits for each layer. Punches also work great for the smooth circles! Next, I stamped the greeting from Bonanza Buddies Stamp Set in Memento Black Ink. I added the greeting with Stampin’ Dimensionals for some texture on the card but also for a smooth look over the ribbon and embossing!

Blue Balloons, www.LaurasStampPad.com

Of course, I had to decorate the inside too! I used the Bonanza Buddies Stamp Set for the balloons. To get that variation in color, I simply inked it up in Bermuda Bay and stamped it 3 times without ever going back to the ink. It’s fabulous!!!

Don’t forget that the Bonanza Buddies Stamp Set is the free set of the month for orders of $75 or more. This is an exclusive offer through me! Sale-A-Bration is also still going on so you get a free Sale-A-Bration item for every $50 spent! Woot Woot! All kinds of free stuff! Check out the supplies below so you can get this wonderful woven look! For more ideas using this stamp set, click here and here!

Tropical Oasis Designer Paper!!!

Posted on

Christmas is over and I’m ready for Spring…..or a Tropical Oasis would work!!! I guess since there is nothing in the plans, I’ll just stare at this paper and dream! 🙂 Check it out!!!

Tropical Oasis, www.LaurasStampPad.com

Yum Yum Yummy!!! This paper makes me happy! The tropical flowers are stunning and just scream warm weather. If you are just starting to follow me, you must know I love Spring and Summer. Warmer weather and sunshine is my jam. I don’t live near the beach so some of the images feel a little off to me but I can always use the other side. We are going to Hawaii in July so they can be used to scrapbook that trip or for cards then! By the way, send me any traveling tips for Hawaii. I need them all! 🙂

Peaceful Poppies Designer Paper!!!

Posted on

Merry Christmas Eve!!! I am not posting a lot this week but I do still have my designer paper reveals going on my YouTube Channel. Today, I’m sharing the Peaceful Poppies Designer Paper!!!

Peaceful Poppies, www.LaurasStampPad.com

You all know how I love flowers so of course I’m loving this paper. The colors are stunning as well with those bright reds and purples. I’m not so sure how I feel about combining red and purple but I can always use the other side. I really love the solid colored prints on the back side of the paper as well. It makes this paper versatile for lots of occasions. While this paper may seem more feminine with the flower prints, those green stripes would make a fabulous man card!

More Gingham Fun!!!

Posted on

Last week I shared some fabulous cards using the Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper. Check that out here! Today, I’m sharing more gingham fun! Let me know in the comments which set your favorite is!

More gingham fun, www.LaurasStampPad.com

These cards were created using Grapefruit Grove card bases. Next, I too Whisper White (4″ x 5-1/4″) and added a piece of the gingham to the left side measuring 2″ x 4″. The other card uses a piece measuring 5-1/2″ x 2″. The inside uses the leftover pieces. For the triangles, I was left with a 2″ square which I just cut corner to corner. The greetings were stamped from the Well Said Stamp Set! I used the same greetings for both but flip flopped them from one card to the next with which one is on the outside.

Blue & Yellow Gingham, www.LaurasStampPad.com

For 1 of the blue cards and 1 of the yellow cards, I decided to switch it up! I just love blue and yellow together! I used 1″ x 4″ strips and stamped the greeting in between. Using the Butterfly Gala Punch, I punched out 2 Balmy Blue and 2 Daffodil Delight. I added 2 to the front and used the other 2 for the inside decoration! The baby card used the Rectangle Stitched Shapes for all the pieces. The stitched frame is super cute and then I used the inside rectangle for the inside of the card. Adorable!! This style would work for the other colors of gingham too.

Yellow Gingham, www.LaurasStampPad.com

For the Daffodil Delight cards, I used one set of the blue! Simple squares for a quick and easy card. The ribbon was colored with the Stampin’ Blends Markers! I recommend maybe using the light marker as it seems the dark marker was a bit too dark. That is all personal preference though! For the top card, I used the Banner Triple Punch and Layering Circles Framelits!!! The Gingham Gala Adhesive Backed Sequins made for the perfect finishing touch!

I had so much fun creating all 10 of these cards using the Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper!!! Tons of all occasion cards to have on hand. The Well Said Stamp Set was the perfect set for inside and outside greetings! I love it! Click the supplies below to make some of your own! So much more gingham fun!!!
