Girls Night Out!!!

Posted on January 7, 2020 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Today is my Girls Night Out Event showcasing the New Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration goodies!!! I have this event 2 times a year and it’s always a good time!!! Even though it is called Girls NIGHT out, I have a morning session (10 a.m.) and an evening session (6:30 p.m.)! After all sometimes we don’t like to go out after it gets dark! 🙂

Yesterday, Claire and I made cupcakes for this special occasion! Cupcakes are my favorite so any chance I can get to make them, I go for it! Claire has recently taken up a love for baking with me too! She now LOVES eggs. I’m not sure why but we can’t open the fridge without her wanting to pull them out and play with them. Cupcakes are made and quality testing was done. We are all set!!!

I am really looking forward to stamping and chatting about all of the new products as well as catching up with everyone on how their holidays were. Here’s to a wonderful day!!!

If you aren’t local or can’t attend the event today, don’t be sad. You can still participate. Place an order online TODAY using the Hostess Code: 7VXZFX7H or message me your order. I will send you a card packet of the projects that we are making today!!! I can also email or text with you about how things are going and how your holidays went. 🙂 Click here to start shopping, earn Sale-A-Bration goodies, and a card packet from me!

Birthday Sparkles!!!

Posted on January 6, 2020 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Monday! Happy back to normal….or at least I’m hoping! I’m a very routine girl so I’m ready to get back at it. Although I did really enjoy the down time! I thought I would start off with some birthday sparkles today. After all who doesn’t love bling and we all celebrate birthdays!!!

Birthday Sparkles, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This card is actually sort of a mini card. It still fits into a regular envelope but it’s 4″ x 4-1-1/4″. I cut the cardstock at 4-1/4″ (in half) and then at 8″ to fold in half. Something a little different!!!

My card base is Bermuda Bay and I layered on a piece (3-1/4″ x 4″) of the Lily Impressions Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Next, I took a piece of Whisper White (3″ x 3-3/4″) and stamped the cake in Melon Mambo Ink. The cake is from the Happy Birthday to You Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set. Right after stamping, I took the Wink of Stella Pen and colored over the flowers. This makes the ink bleed just a bit while adding the perfect amount of sparkle!

Coloring with Wink of Stella, www.LaurasStampPad.com

I love the perfect hint of pink and shimmer! After coloring this, I layered it onto the card front and added a few Champagne Rhinestones. You can also use some of the Peacock Rhinestones for different color options! I love them all!

Glittered Flowers, www.LaurasStampPad.com

For the inside of the card, I stamped the greeting from the same set in the center and then did the top corner of the cake stamp in the bottom right corner. This gives the perfect flower coordination to the inside of the card. Of course, I colored it with some Wink of Stella too!

Tropical Oasis Designer Paper!!!

Posted on December 26, 2019 by Laura's Stamp Pad

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!!!

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 December 24, 2019 by Laura's Stamp Pad

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!

It Snowed!!!

Posted on December 18, 2019 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Wednesday! 1 more week till Christmas. I thought since it snowed this is a good card to share with you all! Now I’m chanting, let it melt! 🙂

This is a quick card that I created with a little bit of stamping and punching. Punching out cardstock that is….I’m not a violent person. 🙂

I started with a Shaded Spruce card base. Next, I stamped the snowflakes from the Snowman Season Stamp Set in Pool Party all over a piece of Whisper White. Before laying it on the card front, I added some of the Let It Snow Designer Paper (2″ x 5-1/4″) across the lower part.

For the greeting, I stamped it from the Snowman Season Stamp Set in Real Red Ink. Then using the Timeless Label Punch, I punched it out and added Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back. Before adding it to the card front, I placed a piece of the Real Red Ruched Ribbon down and added the greeting on top. This adds a little bit of texture to the card. Since this ribbon is so wide, tying it would make a large knot of your card so using it this way makes it nice and flat.

You can check out more samples like this by clicking here and here! Also, let me know in the comments below whether you are excited that it snowed or counting down the days till Spring??

Happy Stampin!

Silly Snowman!!!

Posted on December 16, 2019 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Monday!!! We are one week closer to Christmas and things seem to be getting crazier. Stamping is my getaway from the chaos and relaxing time of the day! What about you?? Check out this cute silly snowman card I made!

I got this card idea from Laura Milligan and just fell in love. It’s adorable and it’s simple! Thank you, Laura!!! We, Lauras, are pretty awesome! 🙂

I started with a Whisper White card base and added a layer of Real Red (4″ x 5-1/4″). Next, I took a 3″ x 4″ piece of the Let It Snow Designer Paper (stripes) and added it to the upper left corner. Using the 2-1/4″ Circle Punch, I punched another sheet of the designer paper for this adorable snowman. He is already cute, glittered, and ready to go. I layered a Basic Black circle behind him to make it pop a little more.

For the greeting, I stamped it from the Snowman Season Stamp Set in Memento Black Ink. Then using the Banner Triple Punch, I added banner tips to the end. I actually recommend punching first and then stamping so you don’t end up cutting off your stamped greeting. The greeting was added to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I finished it off with some of the Toile Tidings Glittered Enamel Dots. It’s perfect!!!

I hope you like this little silly snowman card as much as me. While the paper is no longer available to purchase. You can create this card if you already got your hands on it over the past few months! Here are some more samples too!
