Make My Heart Buzz

Yesterday I shared a card featuring the Bee My Valentine Bundle, check it out here.  This one is coming in the next mini catalog in January.  I have another card featuring this sweet bundle.  The DSP in this suite is simply amazing!  I had to use some of it to highlight my fun bee.  I stamped the bee in Memento and Daffodil Delight Ink.  I love using Vellum for the wings.

In addition to the DSP, I'm using some Online Exclusive products the Three Color Glimmer Paper is stunning!  You can shop for that in my Online Store in the Online Exclusives Section. I die cut my glimmer paper with the Alphabet A La Mode Dies.  I added a Foam Adhesive Sheet on the back before die cutting so that my letters would have lots of amazing dimension off the box.   Also there is the Pecan Pie Center Stripe Ribbon. This ribbon is perfect for boxes, it's soft and ties great bows!!

Amazing Bear

Have you shopped the Online Exclusives yet?  My favorite is this Fluffiest Friends Bundle. The sweet little critters are sooo cute!!  This set doesn't have any greetings which means you can customize it to any occasion.  I went with a card of encouragement for this guy today. I stamped my bear in Pebbled Path and just used the Basic Gray Watercolor Pencil to add some shading. I didn't blend it just used it to color.  I used some Stampin' Blends to color the honey pot and make it stand out.  I also used my Black Stampin' Write Marker to trace the lines and highlight it even more.  

stampin up, fluffiest friends

I love the extra dies in this bundle.  The sweet bee hive and branch are the best addition.  For my background I stamped a heart from the upcoming Bee My Valentine Set.  Get this one in the new Mini Catalog launching in January or join my team and preorder it in December.  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Geometric Background

I have another fun card to share today that showcases our circle punches.  I'm using the 1 3/4" Circle Punch but you could also use circle dies too.  I saw this geometric pattern online and thought that would make an amazing card so I grabbed my circle punch and got to work.  I'm using Coastal Cabana, Shaded Spruce, Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo.  Isn't this a great color combo!!?!

stampin up, biggest wish

I started by punching one circle in each color and adhering them together overlapping.  To punch the 'football' shaped ones, punch a full circle and mark the center on four sides, think of a clock and mark the center at 12, 3, 6 and 9.  Use your punch and feed the circle back into the punch and punch between two of the marks, 3 and 6 for example.  Then you have the perfect 'football' shaped punch.  Do this until you have enough pieces to complete the design.  I finished the card with some Glossy Dots and a greeting from the Biggest Wish Set.  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Twelve Weeks of Christmas Week 8-Grinch Kiss Box-VIDEO

I'm sooo excited to share this weeks Twelve Weeks of Christmas project with you!  I love how this little box came out!  We're using some punches and die cuts to make a cute Grinch.  Inside the box are some Grinch Hershey Kisses, it's such a fun project.  This is a great one to get kids involved too!  Hershey Kisses are pretty affordable so you can make a stack of these in time for Christmas!  

stampin up,

The only Christmas product being used is the Sending Cheer Dies, otherwise all the products are from the Annual Catalog.  I'm here to show you that you don't need a huge stack of Christmas products to make adorable gifts!  For the Grinch face, eyes and neck I used the Songbird Builder Punch.  The eyes are the winds, his face is the body and his neck is the tail of the bird.  It worked out so perfectly! My greeting is from the Sending Smiles Set in the Annual Catalog.  It's not a Christmas set but I thought for our Grinch friend it was a perfect greeting. 

stampin up

My box is all one piece and the lid tucks into the bottom of the box.  Use a circle punch for a finger notch.  I used the Brights DSP for the background, the hearts are perfect!  I added shine and shimmer to my had with the Pearlized Enamel Effects.  You get lots of amazing dimension with it.  I used my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker for the eyes and smile. No artistic talent required for this I promise!

Inside the box I used the Country Bouquet Punch for an extra surprise of cuteness!

Triple Cut and Shuffle Cards-Featuring Seasonal Sale Products!-VIDEO

Hello!  We are right in the middle of the amazing Seasonal Sale happening through Thursday, November 16, 2023.  If you haven't had a chance to shop the sale make sure you do before it ends.  There are great deals to be found!  Check out all the details on the Seasonal Sale here.  But hurry these deals end tomorrow!  Today I'm sharing three cards that feature lots of products on sale right now.  PLUS I have six bonus cards to share also using products featured in the sale.  

stampin up, charming sentiments, lets go fishing

The cards I'm sharing today are a great way to showcase our amazing DSP and to make a stack of cards in no time!  I trimmed three pieces of DSP to 5" x 3 3/4".  Then we trim it up.  If you have a good trimmer, like our Stampin' Up! Trimmer, you can do all three at the same time. It's better to do them at the same time because then all the cuts are identical.  With your DSP, mark it on the top 1" from the right.  Then mark it on the left side 1" from the bottom. Connect the marks and trim.  Place the triangle off to the side.  With the left over piece mark at 3" on the diagonal cut side and on the right side at 1" from the bottom. Connect the marks and trim.  Then you shuffle up the pieces and rearrange them to a 5" x 3/4" piece and adhere to your card.  

Card base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Cardstock layer 5 1/4" x 4"
DSP 5" x 3 3/4" (three pieces)

stampin up, charming sentiments, lets go fishing

Our DSP's are perfect for this because they all have coordinating patterns that look amazing together!  I used some coordinating ribbons and trims, also on sale to complete my cards.  My greetings are all from the Charming Sentiments Set and die cut with the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies.  I used a label from the All That dies and heat embossed a stamp from the Gorgeously Made Set for extra depth to my card.  I have a full supply list below and a video you can check out how I made these cards.

Now I have a bonus to share!  I have six additional cards that also feature products on sale now during the Seasonal Sale.  I don't have measurements or supplies listed for these, but they'll give you some great ideas to use your DSP!  

stampin up

For my first three I used the Fresh as a Daisy DSP and the Happy Labels Set.  These are simple to cut and even quicker to put together.  I also used some baker's twine from the Essential Package and colored my twine with Stampin' Blends to coordinate with the cards better.  Guess what Stampin' Blends are on sale too! 

stampin up

Everyone of the patterns in the Fresh as a Daisy package is so stunning and doesn't need much for gorgeous card!

The next set of cards I have feature the Stargazing DSP and the Reach For the Stars Bundle.  This DSP is probably one of my favorites.  I love the colors and each pattern is a simply gorgeous representation of our galaxy.
