Blueberry hearts

Last week I shared these two cards that feature this greeting. I have one more quick card to share using that greeting!  This card came together very quick.  All you need is some DSP and some punches.  I used the Heart Punch Pack for mine but any basic shape would work.  As I was pulling all my retiring DSP I found the Noble Peacock DSP and Foils.  I LOVED these last year when they came out and I don't think I used them as much as I wanted to.  So I wanted to make one more card.
I punched lots of hearts in the Blueberry Bushel Pattern of DSP and foil.  The foil really kept reflecting my lights and my camera.  They're so shiny it's hard to photograph!  I adhered them all down to a Smoky Slate piece of cardstock and added a quick greeting.  Such a stunning card and quick and easy to put together when you use our amazing DSP!  I have a full supply list below.

Team Stamp Together

During this time I've had to find some new ways to connect with my team.  Last week we did our very first virtual 'Team Stamp Together".  Prior to the event I posted supplies they needed, but was very vague about it.  Instead of giving them a stamp name I said 'Floral Stamp Set'.  I didn't mention names or colors of anything but gave measurements for all the supplies they'd need.  Then we all made our cards 'together'.  Their cards are awesome!  They've been sharing them in our team page over the last week and my team is the best!  So many creative minds!
For my two cards I found some leftover pieces from the Everything Is Rosy Product Medley.  PRO TIP! It's on the clearance rack now for an incredible deal! I paired the DSP, ribbon and embellishments from the kit with the Beautiful Friendship and Here's To Strong Women Set. I love these cards sooooooo much that they inspired my May's Card Crate!  You can read more about Card Crate here.  I have a full list of supplies below.  If you love the Everything Is Rosy Product Medley get is quick. Items on the Clearance Rack are only available while supplies last!  It's always a good time to join my team.  I'm welcoming lots of new team members this week as we get ready for the New Catalog Preorder!!  Yay!!!  It's a great time to join.  Join my team here!!!

Unicorn

Hi there!  Happy Tuesday or whatever day it is.  They all run together now.  I have a really fun card to share with you today.  I actually made this card weeks ago but I'm just now getting a chance to share it.  This card was actually inspired wayyyyy back in January when I was at my sons school for a meeting.  In the parent room they had a giant piece of white butcher paper and they had giant flowers adorning it along with a horn and eyes/eyelashes.  I loved it so much and probably spent way too much of the meeting just staring at it.  It's been in my head all that time and I finally had a chance to make it!  The greeting along the bottom is from the Ornate Thanks Set, new this month!
The flowers are from the Ornate Style stamp Set, also new this month!  I stamped a ton, colored them with my blends then fussy cut them all out!  Fun tip, when you fussy cut something and you need a seamless border use your Black Stampin' Write Marker to trace along the edges of the piece and every imperfection will be covered up.  For the horn I used some retiring Gold Glimmer Paper and just hand cut a tall triangle.  The eyes I used the retiring 1" circle punch to punch slivers and carefully adhered them.  Bet you never thought you'd be a unicorns make up artist! To finish the card I added sequins all around.  I love how sweet and pretty this is.  I know a few people who would love this card.  What about you?  I have a full supply list below.

Winnie The Pooh Punch Art-VIDEO

Yesterday I shared this ADORABLE sweet card on my weekly Facebook Live.  I love this greeting so much from the Rustic Retreat Stamp Set.  I had to make a punch art Winnie the Pooh to go with it.  I used all circle punches for him.  I have those listed below.  After he was done I kept the rest of the card super simple.  I only added DSP and ribbon.
Punches used: 2" Circle Punch for his body and shirt. 1 1/2" Circle Punch for his head, arms and sleeves of his shirt.  For his arms and sleeves I punched one circle and cut it in half.  1" Circle Punch for his muzzle and feet, finally the 1/2" Circle punch for nose, ears and eyes. The blacks of his eyes were done with a 1/4" handheld circle punch that Stampin' Up! no longer sells but you could also use a marker to color it in.
I shared another card in my Facebook live, in case you maybe don't want to do punch art I wanted to share another way to use this greeting.  This super cute and elegant card is easy and quick to put together!  For details on both cards check out the video below.  Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel so you never miss a video!

Tear Off Bookmark-VIDEO


Hello!!!  I hope you're all out there doing great!  We are taking everything one day at time and really just surviving.  At least that's what it feels like.  Any other parents out there loosing their minds with distance learning?  My son has 7 classes, all of which are meeting via google meets video, twice a week.  That's 14 times a week if you're keeping track.  Then I have another child that requires more hands on learning.  So it's great, we're great, it's fine......is that convincing?  No......any other mom's out there with me?  But thankfully sometimes I do get to craft, not a lot, not as much as I want but sometimes it happens.  I shared this super cute card in my Facebook Live yesterday.

I love that sweet book worm from the Check You Out set.  If you've missed this set it's in the annual catalog.  I love it.  It's perfect for teacher, book lovers, book clubs or anything really.   The thing that I love most about this card is the tear off bookmark!  EEEEKKK!!!!  I love it!!!  We made a cute perforated edge with the stitched die in the Stitched Nested Labels Dies.  The bookmark just tears right off.  A card and a gift!  Who doesn't need this card right now!!!?!  I know a few teachers I'm sticking this in the mail too!

The card base is a little longer, it's 8 1/2" x 10” score long side at 4 ¼” and 8 ½”.  For the rest of the details on the card, check out my video.  There's a full supply list below too.
