Happy Friday!!! WOOT WOOT! The Weekly Deals the week are AMAZING! (I hope you heard my high pitch sing song voice for that!) 🙂 Check them out!!!
I think I’m going to say that my favorite is the Floral Frames Framelits! Here, here, and here are some projects that I have created with these! LOVE THEM! My second favorite item is the Chalkboard Banner Kit. That kit is super fabulous because you can use it over and over and over again because you just erase the words written in chalk and write another one. I have used this at my Craft Fairs, Parties and even my niece and nephew’s birthday party!
Isn’t that fabulous!?!?!? It comes with tons of patterns and colors of decorative banners as well! Those pom poms on the end are super festive as well! LOVE IT! These deals end on Monday night so get them before they are gone!
Have a fabulous weekend and Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
I love this quick and simple card that is just fabulous….after all it has flowers on it!!!! I started with a card base of Bermuda Bay but you could use any color you would like for this! Then I took a piece of Whisper White measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″ and punched along the left hand side with my Petite Petals Punch! You can do as many as you wish just be sure to stay away from the edges and away from each flower. You don’t want to punch real close and have it rip because it is too close! Then you will stamp your greeting! I used the greeting from Petite Pairs (how fitting ; ) )but there is plenty of room for a large greeting or small one! Before adhering it down with Stampin’ Dimensionals, I added some Bermuda Bay Baker’s Twine to the middle. Now you can place it on the front of your card. To finish it off, I added Pearls to the center of each flower! You could always use a Rhinestone OR (this just came to me) you could do this in yellow and add a Basic Black Candy Dot to the center and it would look like a Daisy! Oh I just may have to go do that! Also, you can add some of those punched flowers to the inside of your card for a little decoration! Isn’t that fabulous and simple? I love it!
Who wouldn’t love this adorable gift??? It is fabulous, useful, and simple to make!!!! I grabbed some Note Cards & Envelopes, Lotus Flower Stamp Set which is a Sale-A-Bration item and some ink pads!!!! I stamped the flowers and greeting in Elegant Eggplant, Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, and Tangerine Tango! My stem was done in Mossy Meadow! You can see a tutorial on stamping with this stamp set here!
Aren’t they gorgeous? After stamping them all, I put them in a Gusseted Cellophane Bag and tied it shut with some Whisper White Organza Ribbon. I looped a little bit of Gold Sequin Trim in there as well for a little bling! 🙂 I love it! I have been using these as Thank You Gifts to my Hostesses and Bridal Fair Give-Aways! These would be perfect for a friend’s birthday, a thank you gift to someone who you wish to thank, or a gift at your next Bridal or Baby Shower! You can match the flower color to the recipient’s favorite color or Bride’s wedding colors! So much fun!
So who would love to receive some of these??? Subscribe to my blog (in the upper right corner) and leave me a comment below with your favorite color of flower!!!! I will be picking a random winner!!!!
Happy Tuesday!!! That means I have a fabulous technique to share with you today!!! Today I am sharing the Butterfly Thinlits with you from the Occasions Mini Catalog! It is super fabulous and elegant! Also, butterflies make me think of Spring so I’m all about them right now! 🙂 How amazing are these cards?
My mom asked me for some elegant, simple cards that she could use for occasions such as Baptism, 1st Communion, Confirmation, and Weddings! This is what I came up with and she loved them!!!!
I started with a Very Vanilla card base. Then I took a piece of Very Vanilla (4″ x 5-1/4″) and using my Oval Framelit I cut an oval out of the center. The size I used was the 4th one (middle one)! After cutting out the oval, I placed the piece of cardstock into the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder and ran that through the Big Shot. I adhered this piece to my card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. You know how I love those things and I really liked how it can dimension to the card. NOTE: I placed the embossed paper onto my card front with the embossed image down, so it doesn’t pop up on my card but is smooth. I just thought this made it smooth and elegant! Then I ran a piece of Very Vanilla through the Big Shot with my Butterfly Thinlits from the Occasions Mini Catalog! LOVE these! The best way to do it to layer your Clear Cutting Pad, Dryer Sheet, Cardstock, Wax Paper, Thinlit, and Clear Cutting Pad. The Dryer Sheet and Wax Paper make it super easy to pop it out of the die and so you don’t spend hours popping out each of those butterfly details!!! I adhered the Butterfly with Mini Glue Dots and stamped the greeting in Chocolate Chip from the Crazy About You Stamp Set which is also in the Occasions Mini Catalog! Perfect! I added some Pearls to one of them! Also, I created this one as well with the Bird Builder Punch!
Of course when I showed these to my Mom she loved them and wanted lots of them to have on hand! 🙂
Here is a Video Tutorial shows you how to make this card and showing you how to die cut using your Thinlits! I hope you enjoy it and if so be sure to give it a Thumbs Up!
Valentine’s Day is this Saturday!!!! This is a fabulous card to give to someone you love!!! I started with a Basic Black card base and added a piece of Real Red to the front measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″! Before adhering it though, I took a strip of Whisper White Satin Ribbon and looped a knot through it and then adhered the ends to the back of the Real Red! It is different than a bow or knot and super fun! Then I cut out a Whisper White piece of cardstock with my Deco Label Framelits and Big Shot! Using my Basic Black ink pad, I stamped the greeting from the One Tag Fits All Stamp Set which is in the Occasions Mini Catalog! I added a few Red Glimmer hearts that were punched out with my Itty Bitty Punch Pack! I love those little punches! Since black is so dark, I added a piece of Whisper White (4″ x 5-1/4″) to the inside and then added a few hearts in there as well! LOVE IT!

I am loving the Birthday Bash Designer Series Paper in the Occasions Mini Catalog! Remember my love for the Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper and how sad I was when it retired…..well Stampin’ Up has brought back it’s cousin!!!! WOOT WOOT!
How fabulous is this quick and simple card? I used Bermuda Bay as the card base and added a piece of the Birthday Bash Designer Series Paper (DSP) measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″! For the greeting, I used two images from the Big Day Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set! I colored in the letters with my Blendabilities!!!! A stamper friend of mine said this paper looks like books and it would be fabulous to write book titles on the books! Isn’t that a great idea?!?!?!
I “think” this one is my favorite but it is so hard to pick! I just love the stripes and color combination. I used Tangelo Twist for the card base here! LOVE IT!
This one is fabulous too! It was the favorite at my Girls Night Out Stamp Event! I think more people picked this one than any other design! This one uses a Crushed Curry card base! So many fabulous options and each one looking amazing as ever!!!!

I really went through a Butterfly phase last Spring and I think as we get closer to this Spring, I’m reaching for those butterflies again! I love the colors, simplicity, and cuteness of this card! It also uses up scraps! Bonus!!!!! I started with a Whisper White card base and then took stripes of cardstock that are 1″ wide in Coastal Cabana, Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Strawberry Slush. I took each color and ran each through the Big Shot with a different embossing folder! I used my Chevron Folder, Perfect Polka Dot Folder, Fancy Fan Folder, and Arglye Folder! You can use any folders you have! Then I took my Bitty Butterfly Punch and punched the bottom of each strip making sure to keep the angle the same each time. I did it by lining up the edge of the paper with the corner of the punch!!!
Then you will want to stamp one of the small butterflies from the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set in the coordinating colors and punch them out with the Bitty Butterfly Punch. Without using adhesive, I set the first butterfly down towards the bottom on the left side of my card base to make sure my spacing was good. I started with my longest piece (some of my scraps were smaller so I used those for the little ones.) I added Snail Adhesive to the strip and placed it real close to the edge of the white, right above the butterfly. Then I added adhesive to the next one and spaced it real close and up a bit from the first one. Remember that each strip is 1″ wide and your card front is 4-1/4″ wide so you only have 1/4″ to have in between!!! Keep moving until you have all 4 strips placed down. I didn’t make specific measurements on the length because I just used scraps and after placing them down I trimmed off the extra cardstock along the top. Then I added a piece of Stampin Dimensional to each of the little butterflies and added those to the bottom of the strips! My greeting was stamped from the Petite Pairs Stamp Set in Strawberry Slush. Also, I added a little Itty Bitty Punch Pack flower in Coastal Cabana with a Rhinestone in the middle! Lots of scraps used up with this adorable card! Colorful and perfect for Spring!!!

Happy Tuesday!!! You know what that means……I have a fabulous technique to share with you today and this one uses my favorite tool – SPONGE DAUBERS!!!! Love love love them!!! Without further ado…
I took this fabulous sample right from the Stampin’ Success magazine that I receive as a Demonstrator (another fabulous perk) and I added my own flare to it! Here is the sample from the magazine which you can see I left off the Pom Pom Twine and Epoxy Heart and their background was done a little differently as well.
I started off with a card base of Whisper White and I stamped the heart outline image from the Hello Life all over the background. I did the bottom two rows in Calypso Coral, then the next row up in stamped off Calypso Coral. Then I moved to Pink Pirouette and continued with that all the way up! Then I stamped the Love image in Calypso Coral on the bottom right and with Pink Pirouette in the top left. This just adds a little fun to your background! Now you can add a strip of Washi Tape to the bottom in your choice of color and pattern. Then with a 3-1/2″ square of Whisper White you will create your sponged background. Using Pink Pirouette, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Calypso Coral, you will sponge along your piece of paper making sure to overlap the colors a little bit so you have that nice smooth transition of colors rather that strips of color. Then stamp the greeting on the sponged cardstock in Basic Black and adhere to your card with Stampin’ Dimensionals! I added a bow with the Blushing Bride Baker’s Twine to finish it off! Perfect for Valentine’s Day or any occasion!
I have created a Video Tutorial for you to showcase that sponged background! Be sure to give it a thumbs up if you liked it and don’t forget to subscribe to my Channel as well!
Still need a Valentine’s Day card? This one is quick and simple! You can create it with a piece of Whisper White cardstock (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″) or you can use a Note Card & Envelope! Then using my Work of Art Stamp Set, I stamped the long image in Real Red and the heart in Basic Black! You could always mix it up and use Pinks & Reds and really any color scheme! I added the little greeting at the bottom from the Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set and cut it out with the coordinating Bitty Banners Framelits (Bundle & Save!) Then I layered it onto a piece of Basic Black punched out with the Modern Label Punch! You could always use the Happy Valentine’s Day from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set or any other greeting you like! I love how quick and simple this card is and it is also very gender neutral!
