Charming Duck Love

I have another adorable card to share featuring the Charming Duck Pond Bundle.  If this bundle is on your wishlist make sure you check out my June Card Crate, I'm featuring this bundle and the cards are soooo fun!  Grab the Card Crate Class To Go today!  This card will not be included in the class it's too cute not to share though! I used lots of the dies in the bundle to create this card.  The greeting and the cat tails stamped in the background are from the set.  Everything else is from the dies.  The dies make it quick and easy to make incredible scenes! I used some Stampin' Blends to color some of my die cut elements.  I think it adds so much amazing eye candy to the card.  

I added a little Wink Of Stella to my ducks to make the shimmer a little. I love the sparkle.  You can see all the depth that was added to the die cuts with a little strategic coloring with Stampin' Blends.   I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.  Don't forget to check out my June Card Crate Class To Go for even more amazing inspiration with this bundle.  If you missed the card I shared last week with this bundle you can check that out here.  It's too cute to miss!

Citrus Blooms Angled Side Cupcake Box-VIDEO!

I have another amazing box to share today using the Citrus Blooms Bundle and Mediterranean Blooms DSP.  I LOVE both of these amazing products.  Once you start creating with them you won't be able to put them down!  Today I'm sharing a cupcake box that holds an orange Hostess Cupcake.  I found these in my local WalMart so I'm sure they're readily available all over.  If this box looks a little familiar I made a version of this box in September of 2022.  This is one of my favorite style of boxes so if I can recreate it I will.  Why reinvent the wheel when you don't have to.    

I have a video below that will walk you through all the details of this box.  It looks super complicated but it's really simple and when you make one.  You'll want to make a dozen!  I used Stampin' Blends to color my image, but if you're short on time you can die cut them directly from the DSP.  If you love this project, check out this box I shared last week featuring the Citrus Blooms Bundle too.

You're Ducking Great!

The very first bundle in the new catalog that went onto my wish list was the Charming Duck Pond Bundle.  I absolutely love ducks and this bundle is the cutest!  The images are adorable and the dies make for some amazing scenes.  As soon as I had this bundle in my hand I couldn't stop creating with it!  I love it so much that it will be the feature of my June Card Crate Class To Go.  If you love this bundle too check out my blog on Monday for all the details on this class to go.  

My duck is stamped in Memento Ink and I've used both ink pads and Stampin' Blends to fillin my duck.  I stamped Granny Apple Green for his wings and head and I stamped Peach Pie for his feet and beak. For the other parts of him I used Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends and Pretty Peacock Light Stampin' Blends. I used the dies in the bundle to die cut lots of extra pieces like lily pads, flowers and the cattails.  I wanted them to look like the DSP so I cut out some in Basic White and use my Peach Pie and Pretty In Pink Stampin' Blends to color them and then trimmed them out and adhered them to the Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock stems.  

The only flaw I would say is in this bundle is the lack of duck puns they could have used for greetings.  I love the greetings but I could have used a second set of just duck puns. So instead I created my own greeting with the Mini Alphabet Dies.  I made them shine with the Fine Tip Glue Pen. This glue dries clear and gives you that glossy look.  Isn't this a punny greeting! I love it! 

Make your own:

Pool Party 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" score the long side at 4 1/4"

DSP 5 1/4" x 4"; 4" x 1 1/4"; 2" x 1/2"

Basic Black, Granny Apple Green, Pretty Peacock, Pretty In Pink, Basic White scraps for die cutting

Mediterranean Blooms Faux Book Box-VIDEO

I'm really excited to share this box with you and I have a video to go over every detail of this box.  I'm using the new Mediterranean Blooms DSP.  I love this DSP.  It's so bright and fun.  The patterns are amazing and so stunning that you don't need to add anything else to it!  I'm using a greeting from the coordinating Citrus Blooms Bundle.  Inside my box is a Trident Gum Package.  My daughter loves this Tropical Twist flavor so we always have a few packs on hand.  When I saw this paper I knew instantly that I had to make a box for her gum.  It coordinates so perfectly!  

The flap has a hidden magnet to keep it closed and the other magnet is under the DSP. It gives it a nice clean finish without interfering with the design.  I stamped my greeting on a label from the Citrus Blooms Bundle.  The leaves and flowers are die cut with the dies in that bundle.

Leaf Collection Background Four Cards

I have four amazing cards to share today.  They're all the same but different if you know what I mean.  They all use the same products, same colors, same layout, but each one is different and unique.  I didn't add any embellishments to these cards, I didn't feel like they needed them but you could absolutely add some bling or ribbon if you wanted.  

I stamp the Leaf Collection Background Stamp four times, once each in Pretty In Pink, Peach Pie, Lemon Lolly and Coastal Cabana.  Then I chose four leaves to fussy cut.  Yes, you have to fussy cut them.  They're not hard.  The cutting actually went pretty quickly. 

I mixed and matched the leaves so that each stack had one leaf of each color and of each shape.  I used some DSP from the 2024-2026 In Color Stack for a base and stamped some coordinating greetings with the Friends For Life Stamp Set. 

The cards are completely adorable and would make a great stack of cards for a gift.  Change up the colors and you have some great autumn themed cards.  Endless possibilities!  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Country Birdhouse With New Colors

I'm so smitten with our new In Colors this year! The fun bright party colors are amazing! They all work so well together too!  If you're loving these colors like me, consider joining my team and getting them free!  When you join Stampin' Up! in May you can score over $80 of In Color products free!  Check out this post for more details or join today! The card features the new Country Birdhouse Bundle.  I have LOVED playing with this bundle.  It's so cute!!!  I stamped the birdhouse with the Leaf Collection Background Stamp for some added texture.  It's such a sweet little house.  

I love the bright Petunia Pop color for the background.  I used the flower stamp from the Country Birdhouse Set to stamp the background then added some strips of DSP to make the birdhouse pop! The dies make assembling this birdhouse super easy and quick! I finished my card with a fun greeting and flower using Petunia Pop again and the new Shy Shamrock.  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Birthday Cats

I have a cute card to share today! This one features the Pets and More Set.  This is a set that was released in our last Online Exclusive selection.  You can shop for this one in my Online Store.  This set is a reversible set, that means that you stamp the line image on one side of the stamp and the fill in image on the reverse side of the stamp.  Simple clean your stamp and flip it over. Because the image is symmetrical when you flip it everything lines up purrfectly. 

I went for a really bright color combo. I kept my background very simple.  I wanted to add in more of the images from the stamp set, like the fish, paws, etc.  So I cut 1/4" x 5 1/2" strips of Lemon Lime Twist, Azure Afternoon and Calypso Coral.  I stamped them tone on tone with their coordinating ink.  The cats are all fussy cut, but it's a simple shape.  My greeting is from the new Country Birdhouse Set.  I have a full supply list below, you can shop for these products in my Online Store.
