Happy Tuesday!!! You know what that means…..I have a fabulous technique to share with you today! Today it’s all about the Curvy Corner Trio Punch. Some tips and ideas on how to use this punch and the fun you can have with it!
How beautiful and simple is that card? I love how those decorative corners allow more of the Calypso Coral to show through. It really stands out so much more! If you would like to see a sample using the other corner, click here! Let’s get started!
I started with a Calypso Coral card base. I took a piece of Whisper White measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″ and punched all 4 corners with the Curvy Corner Trio Punch and then added it to the card front. Using a piece of the Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper (1-1/2″ x 5-1/4″) from the Sale-A-Bration Promotion, I placed that down the center. For the greeting, I used a piece of Whisper White (2-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ and stamped the greeting from the Rose Wonder Stamp Set in Basic Black. Oh how I love the greetings in this set! Then I took one of the flowers from the Flowering Fields Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set and stamped it in the background in Calypso Coral. I stamped a few times before going back to the ink to give a lighter look and those various shades. I layered this piece onto Basic Black measuring 2-3/4″ x 1-3/4″. I added the greeting to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals! I love it!

This card is perfect for so many different occasions! I love all the layers and textures with the ribbon, embossing, Designer Series Paper, and punched greeting. Also, I look thinking out of the box on ways to use your embossing folder. I used the Confetti Embossing Folder from the Occasions Mini Catalog! It is a border folder with an oval in the center but don’t let that hold you back. I slide this piece of cardstock in diagonal on the end of the folder. How fabulous is that?
I started with a Melon Mambo card base. I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″. I slide the end of the white paper into the Confetti Embossing Folder at an angle. Slide it in just to the point that hits the flat oval spot. You could do it straight across or diagonal. You could even do the top and bottom. I added some of the It’s My Party Designer Series Paper which I am in love with right now! The colors are so fabulous and it’s a 12″ x 12″ Stack! Woot Woot! Then I wrapped some of the Crushed Curry Baker’s Twine around the card twice and tied it into a bow. With Baker’s Twine, I always double knot it tight before tying the bow. I added this piece to the card front and then started on the greeting. I stamped the greeting from the Party Wishes Stamp Set in Melon Mambo onto a piece of scrap Whisper White. I punched it out with the 1″ Circle Punch. Then I stamped the greeting again in Basic Black onto another scrap piece of white. I cut out the WISH card and added little banners to the ends. I used some of the Stampin’ Dimensional border to the back of “Wish” and placed it on top of the Melon Mambo Wish. Then I punched out some Basic Black with the 1-1/4″ Circle Punch and layered it. I added the greeting to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals! Love it!!!

Woot Woot! It is Friday and I’m excited! This week has been amazing! Paper Pumpkin arrived! Two ladies joining my Stampin’ Team! The snow didn’t hold us back and Stamp Club stamped on! AND I’m stamping again tomorrow morning with a fabulous group of ladies! It has been a wonderful week! 🙂
Okay so a few weeks ago, I showed you a fabulous sample with the Confetti Embossing Folder. Today I am showing you a similar but super simple version of that card! I only used Pumpkin Pie Sponge Dauber to color the embossing folder and stamped the greeting in the center using the Party Wishes Stamp Set. No layers, no fuss. Simple and Fabulous!!! Love it!!!
Also, I wanted to let you all know that my little Ronald McDonald Tab House is almost full! I will be sending the tabs off as well as greeting cards.

I hope you all have an amazing weekend!!! I’ll see you back here on Monday!
Let’s get started on this fabulous card! I used a Whisper White card base and adhered a piece of Bermuda Bay measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″ onto the front. I cut a piece of the A Nice Cuppa Designer Series Paper into a 2″ x 5-1/4″ strip and added that to the card front. Using the Deco Labels Framelits, I die cut Whisper White cardstock for the focal point! The little mug was die cut in Bermuda Bay with the Cups and Kettle Framelits. The heart steam was die cut in Melon Mambo. I stamped the heart from the A Nice Cuppa Stamp Set in Bermuda Bay onto the mug and the greeting in Tip Top Taupe over top! Also, I stamped the tea bag in Tip Top Taupe onto Tip Top Taupe cardstock. Then I die cut that out as well. I placed the end of the Linen Thread on the back of the tea bag and placed a Stampin’ Dimensional over the end. The other end of the Linen Thread is placed behind the cup. I adhered the mug to the frame with Stampin’ Dimensionals also. The little steam was adhered with the Fine Tip Glue Pen. I love it!!! This card is perfect for just about anyone – those who love coffee, tea, or any other beverage in a mug. It would be perfect for someone who is sick and needs a little pick-me-up or just a little note to brighten anyone’s day!

So I showed you a quick and simple version of this card here! Today I’m going to show you the stepped up version!!! Glitter always steps up a card!!! LOVE IT!
I started with a Pool Party card base. I took a piece of Whisper White measuring 3-3/4″ x 5″ and stamped the greeting from the Botanicals For You Sale-A-Bration Promotion in Basic Black. You can earn this stamp set for free with a $50 order. The flowers are from the same set and I stamped them in Bermuda Bay and Pool Party. The leaves were stamped in Pear Pizzazz. I would like to say I randomly stamped but I’m not the best at that. I have a tendency to think it needs one more over there and then maybe there and eventually I have stamped WAY TOO MANY. So my only advice is to stop early and if you think it might need one more, don’t do it! 🙂 I adhered this piece to the card front and added some of the New Pool Party Glitter Ribbon. This ribbon is super fun to add to a card and it ties really well, not chunky like some glitter ribbons. Also, I thought I would add a little foo foo to the inside to make it even cuter!
Check out those little flowers in the lower right and upper left corners! I just love flower stamps because you can do it in any color possible. What color would you use for this card? Let me know in the comments below!
Happy Tuesday everyone!!! That means I have a fabulous technique to share with you. Three Step Stamping, Masking, and Flowers make this technique oh so amazing!!! Check this out!!!
These colors scream SUNSHINE and BRIGHTER DAYS!!! I think it is the perfect card for a Sympathy, Just Because, or Get Well Soon because it is so bright and cheery! It would make a great card for any occasion though! This card uses the What I Love Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set! You can earn this set for FREE with a $50 order.
This card just needs stamps and ink and cardstock like any other card. I started with two pieces of Whisper White measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″ and 3″ x 4-1/4″. Add a little dab (little) of Snail Adhesive to the back of the smaller one and place it in the center of the larger one. We will be stamping over the 2 layered pieces at the same time. Now using the What I Love Stamp Set, I stamped the flowers randomly all over the layered paper. I used Tangerine Tango, Pumpkin Pie, and Daffodil Delight for the 3 flower images. You will notice that the flower stamps have a little arrow. That arrow is to help you line up your images. Take note of where that arrow is every time you stamp and lining up the next one will be easier. For example, if you stamp the first one (the online image in the darkest ink) with the arrow pointing up, be sure to stamp the next two images with the arrow pointing up. The second stamp is the full solid flower which is stamped in a lighter shade or a stamped off image of the first color. The third stamp is the smaller solid image and this one can be just about any color – lighter, darker, or totally different. Don’t worry if you images aren’t lined up completely because I found that with the rounded edges and flower look, it’s okay to be off. It creates sort of a watercolor look and that’s okay! Remember you stamped projects are make with love, not perfection and you are your biggest critic. 🙂 Once you are done stamping, you will separate the two white pieces and layer the smaller one onto a piece of Tangerine Tango measuring 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″. You can place the larger layer onto your card front of Daffodil Delight. I added some Daffodil Delight Cotton Ribbon to the smaller piece and adhered it down with Stampin’ Dimensionals. For the greeting, I used the Rose Wonder Stamp Set from the Occasions Mini Catalog. This stamp set is AMAZING! It has flowers and some of the most beautiful greetings for all occasions. I love the font. I love the sayings. I love this stamp set. Get your’s now so you can play along with me in all the samples I’m creating with it. I stamped the greeting onto Whisper White and punched it out with the Decorative Label Punch. I layered it with a Daffodil Delight punch as well (tutorial on that here). I added the greeting with Stampin’ Dimensionals as well! Love it!

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner so now is the time to start working on those sweet cards and goodie bags! I love Valentine’s Day because it is a day that I can share my love for everyone. I like to do it all year long but this day is even more special! This card is quick and simple and fairly gender neutral.
I started with a Whisper White card base and added a strip of Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper! The Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack is perfect for Valentine’s Day but it also has lots of great prints for all occasion cards too! I added some Silver Baker’s Twine along the top and tied in a bow! For the greeting, I used the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set in Rose Red. I punched out the greeting with the Word Window Punch and layered it onto a Washi Label Punch from Blushing Bride cardstock. I added the greeting to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals! Simple and fabulous! I love it!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I will be celebrating my amazing Mother’s Birthday with her and the family as well as having a stamp party! Stamping, Cake, Family, and Friends…..what more do you want on a weekend!!!! Eeeeee So Excited!
Oh my goodness, I’m in heaven with the NEW Wink of Stella Pen!!! I just want to carry that pen around with me everywhere and add that perfect amount of sparkle and shine to EVERYTHING! Watch out, Brad. The whole house is going to shine and I’m not talking about doing a deep clean! 🙂 Check out this beauty!!!
Okay so this photo doesn’t show the shine but it is a fabulous and adorable card!!!
Check that out!!! The cake is all glittery AND the Pink Stripes! I love it and squeal each time I look at this card. I think I have squealed each time I’ve shown this card to others as well! LOVE!!!!
So for this adorable card, I started with a Mint Macaron card base. I cut out a piece of the It’s My Party Designer Series Paper measuring 4″ x 2″. You can get 18 of these pieces from one sheet of 12″ x 12″ paper! Then I cut a piece of Whisper White measuring 4″ x 3-1/4″ and this piece I stamped on. I used the Party Wishes Stamp Set from the Occasions Mini Catalog. The greeting was stamped in Mint Macaron and I used my Melon Mambo & Tip Top Taupe Markers for the cake! You will notice it more in the first photo that the cake looks beautifully swiped with pink icing. This is not a technique but just sorta happened. I will say be sure to swipe left and right across the stamp and not in a swirl pattern or anything because you will be able to tell. I layered the Designer Series Paper and stamped white piece onto the card front. I added the Whisper White Cotton Ribbon around the card front and over the spot where the paper comes together. For the little candles, I used the Party Wishes Stamp Set and coordinating Party Punch Pack (Bundle & Save 15%). I colored the candle with a Mint Macaron and Crushed Curry Marker and then punched them out. You can add as many candles as you wish! I used the Fine Tip Glue Pen to add them to the cake! You only need a small small amount of glue! To finish off the card, I added glitter with the Wink of Stella Pen. I just brushed it over the cake and over the pink stripes! It is so stunning! I love it! Here is another up close photo!

This is sweet enough to eat! YUM!!!! This card is perfect for telling someone you are thinking of them or to brighten their day! It would also work for a Birthday too! I used the Honeycomb Happiness from the Sale-A-Bration Promotion! You can earn this stamp set for FREE with a $50 order!
I started with a Mint Macaron card base and added a strip of Basic Gray cardstock across the middle. Then I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 2″ x 4″ and punched the corners with the Curvy Corner Trio Punch! I love that little detail on the corner and I think I will be using this punch a lot now! I stamped the ice cream cone and greeting with the Basic Gray Archival Ink so I could color in the cone! I used the Aqua Painter and some ink to color in the cone and ice cream. I did the cone in Tip Top Taupe and the ice cream in Mint Macaron. It was almost too cute to cover with the little Honeycomb Embellishements! When you add the Honeycomb, you can attach it completely like this sample and hand deliver the card or only attach the one side and add a little message in the card about pulling off the other side of adhesive and stick it down after mailing it. I attached the whole tag to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals! Just adorable! I can’t wait to play with the little chick from that same stamp set!
