I love today's card!  So pretty!  In addition to the ink blending on the flower I used Pool Party ink to add a 'cloud' of color to the background to make the flower pop more.  This is a fun and easy technique.  In addition to the ink blending Pool Party, I also stamped some of the small leaves in the set to add more texture to the background.  I used a Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blend to color the white Neutral Matte Dots, I love customizing embellishments with Stampin' Blends.

Storybook Friends Pinched Top Ghirardelli Bunny Box-VIDEO

Thank you for checking in today!  I have a fun treat to share with you!  This week I'm using the Storybook Friends Bundle (last time in this series).  I couldn't get enough of these bunnies!  I'm also using the Bright Skies Set for some fun background stamping, really any cute flower you have will work perfectly.  This box holds the small Ghirardelli bunnies, two fit really well.  You can squeeze three in if you really like the person LOL.  I love the shape of this box, I wasn't sure what to call it.  I've made a smaller, shorter version in the past and added some straps on the back like a back pack.  This one is just taller without the straps.  It's completely adorable!  I love this box because you pinch the top and it's more narrow on the top than the bottom making for a unique fun box.  

I'm sure you've guessed by this time how I colored my bunny.  Stampin' Blends are so quick and easy!  You could use any coloring medium you love though.  I finished the box with some Lost Lagoon Soft Cording.  This is an Online Exclusive. I love this cording.  It's fun to tie with and as the name suggests it's super soft!  

You will need to pinch the box and make sure you use some kind of closure to keep it closed.  Because the top is more narrow it won't want to stay closed, you'll need to help it.  I used Velcro to keep my box closed.  Magnets would work too.  For this box, I think Velcro is the better option.

Lost Lagoon

8 1/2" x 6 1/2"

More Sliding Pop Up Cards!

Last week I shared this sliding pop up card with the Bright Skies Stamp Set and Dies.  I loved that card so much I wanted to use that fun fold and make more pop up cards.  Here's two more fun cards.  To learn more about how to make the mechanism for these cards make sure to go back to the Bright Skies card and watch the video there.  

First up is the Storybook Garden card.  This bright fun card uses fun colors and the Beautiful Bokeh DSP.  I love the dreamy look of the DSP. I used the Storybook Garden Dies for all my images.  My greeting is from the Bright Skies Set, works great here too! 

Inside, the pop up mechanism I stamped and die cut the carrots in fun heirloom colors.  Why not!?  It's a fun pop of color inside the card.  

The next card I have to share is the Friendly Fins Bundle Card.  This under the sea one is stunning!  I love all the stamped and die cut elements on this card.  I used the Soft Waves Embossing Folder to really drive home the water look behind them.  

The mix of stamped images and die cut images is so perfect here.  I love all the different colors and textures on this card.  I kept that same feeling going inside too.  I love the dolphins, I think they're my favorite!   

I've linked supply lists for both of these cards below. You can shop for these products in my Online Store.  For measurements on the pop up and to see how to make the pop up mechanism check out this post.

NEW Stampin' Rewards!

There are BIG changes coming to the Stampin' Rewards program.  Currently Stampin' Rewards are available for orders over $150, either individual orders or group orders.  On April 15, 2025 all that is changing and everyone, yes EVERYONE, will get to earn their own Stampin' Rewards!  The new program will allow rewards to be earned on every order over $20.  I don't know about you but I don't think I've ever placed an order under $20.  You'll earn 10% of your order and it will be banked into your rewards.  You can save them-maybe you've been eyeing that beautiful Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine or, you can use them on your next order.  

This is a much simpler program then we currently have.  No more remembering to add a host code.  No more gathering friends orders to earn benefits.  Simply shop and earn! 

Example: You spend $100, you've now banked $10 in your rewards account.  Next time you order you can either use that $10 reward or save it and keep adding to it.  They're there when you're ready to spend them.  

Here's some more bullet points to the program.  

• You must have a Stampin' Up! Online Store account to opt in.  If you already have one, you can opt in on April 15, 2025.  If you don't have one, creating one is easy.  Having a Stampin' Up! account is similar to having an Amazon Account.  It simply saves your information so you don't have to enter it over and over, plus you can track your orders and see what you've purchased in your order history.  If you need assistance creating an account or opting in to the rewards program (after April 15, 2025) contact me.  
• You must opt into the program.  Due to federal laws you will have to opt in on or after April 15, 2025 to earn rewards.  Don't worry Stampin' Up! should have a pop up when you log in to ask you to opt in. 
• Rewards do expire.  Don't worry they have a long lifespan. You'll have 12 months to use any Stampin' Rewards.  If you have rewards expiring at different times you'll be able to see which rewards expire sooner and use those first. 
• You don't have to use all your rewards at once.  Maybe you have $50 in rewards but only want to use $20 at this time, no problem!  You can specify how much to use when redeeming them.

What do I do now?  To prepare, if you don't already have a Stampin' Up! Online Store account create one.  If you already have an account, you're all set and everything will roll over on April 15, 2025.  After April 15, 2025 you will have to opt in to the program to start earning rewards. Head to my Online Store and make an account today. 

Contact me with any questions you might have.
