Hello Friend With Charming Ducks

My absolute favorite bundle in the catalog is the Charming Duck Pond Bundle.  I cannot stop creating with this one!  I used the coordinating Lily Pond Lane DSP for this card too.  I layered lots of strips on the Peach Pie card base, alternating patterns. I added even more layers and dimension with some Peach Pie Ribbon and Essentials Baker's Twine.  For a pop of color I added a piece of Coastal Cabana Cardstock die cut with the Perennial Postage Dies.

For my sweet ducks I used Stampin' Blends to color them.  There's lots of options for the ducks in this bundle.  You can use the fill in stamp to add color if you don't want to color them or create the ducks with the dies.  I finished the card with some Shiny Sequins.  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Celebrate Patriotic Cake Box-VIDEO

Today I have an adorable treat box to share with you.  This one will be a great party favor for your Fourth of July parties.  But it would be equally as cute with different colors, different DSP, and maybe a different tag for party favors for any party!  I'm filling my box with another Little Debbie cake.  You can check out the Little Debbie Product Locator to find these cakes in your area.  For my greeting I used the 'celebrate' stamp from the Unbounded Love Set.  This set is full of amazing greetings for any occasion!   


My stars are die cut out of Gold Foil using the Kiddin' Around Dies and the Merriest Trees Dies.  I added Adhesive Sheets on the back of the Gold Foil BEFORE die cutting.  That makes them easy to adhere, just like a sticker!  Don't miss this step!  I finished my tag with some ribbon and Sparkle Gems.  LOVE IT!

Tune In For Father's Day

As I'm sure many of you did, we celebrated Father's Day yesterday.  Our family actually did our Father's Day dinner on Saturday night because we dropped my daughter off at camp on Sunday so she wouldn't be able to join us for Father's Day.  I made this card to celebrate the special dads out there.  The greeting is from the May 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit.  One of the reasons I love Paper Pumpkin is because of the exclusive stamp sets which often have great greetings like this one that you can keep using even beyond your kit.

I used the dies to die cut my TV pieces.  I have a couple more samples using this Bundle here and here.  You can get this amazing Tune In Bundle this month for an additional 10% off in my Online Store.  Shop today!!!  The DSP is from the To Market pack.  LOVE this package and the basic patterns.  For some background stamping I used some leaves from the Layering Leaves Set and I finished the card with some Ombre Dots.  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Stay Tuned....

Hello! Happy Friday!!!!  I have a fun card to share today! This one features the Tune In Bundle again.  I can't stop using this one! It's soooo fun!  I went for a pink theme on this one pairing up Melon Mambo and Pretty In Pink.  I used tone on tone stamping for the Melon Mambo background.  For the strip of Pretty In Pink I added lots of sparkle with the In Color Glimmer Paper and the star burst die in the bundle.

For my television I colored it in Summer Splash and Pebbled Path Stampin' Blends.  I added the knobs on the television with my Fine Tip Glue Pen.  I also added some dots of the Fine Tip Glue Pen to the Melon Mambo Background to help enhance the Melon Mambo Glossy dots there as well.  

stampin up, tune in

I stamped my television twice to get extra dimension.  I colored only the outside for one, the Summer Splash one.  Then when I die cut that one I die cut the television and a window for the screen.  The other television I used Melon Mambo and Pretty In Pink Stampin' Blends to create an ombre look on the screen.  I only die cut the television for that one.  I adhered the Summer Splash TV with the cut out screen over the other one with Dimensionals so it pops up.  I have a full supply list below, you can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Designer Series Paper Party Class!

Over the weekend I held my June in person class.  If you're local in the Albuquerque, NM area I'd love for you to attend a class.  We have lots of fun.  My guests get to make five cards, if you place an order prior/at/after to the class you get a bonus 6th card.  So I have 6 amazing cards to share.  All the cards this month feature DSP in fun ways, a few of them are fun folds, because DSP makes the best fun fold cards!! 

The first uses the Wildly Flowering DSP for a fun fold card.  This DSP is sooooo stunning in person!  I think it's one of my favorites!


I love how this card folds and opens.  I don't have a supply list or measurements for any of these cards.  That is a perk reserved only to my guests who attend my class. 


The next card uses the To Market DSP along with the Market Goodness Bundle.  This was the bonus card for my guests who placed orders.  I love this fun variation on a Z-Fold.  


We used lots of different DSP patterns from the To Market package.  I love the variation of patterns but LOVE that they all coordinate perfectly!!!


The next card uses the Full of Life DSP.  This card is the best example of how to use up scraps.  I used twelve 1" squares for the background.  Everyone's card way different and fun and they all looked incredible!  I used the Beach Day Set and Dies for fun focal points.  LOVE IT!  


The Mediterranean Blooms DSP and Citrus Blooms Bundle are soooo amazing.  This was another DSP that I was amazed with in person.  It is soooo stunning!!!  


This is another fun fold card where the DSP can really shine! 


The Country Woods DSP is the perfect DSP for that rustic feel.  There's so many fun textures in this DSP that I couldn't choose one! That's why this card is perfect!  Use a bunch of them! 


Finally, we used the Country Lace DSP for a simply sympathy card.  We all need sympathy cards.  Folding one corner up is a fun way to showcase both sides of the DSP.  Plus this color combo is just so soothing.

Thanks for looking, see you soon!!!

Cap and Gown Lollypop Holders

I wanted to share the party favors I made for my sons graduation party.  I kept everything very simple.  I used his class colors and made some quick and easy treats for our guests. I used the Cap and Gown Set for my stamping and I die cut the numbers with the Alphabet A La Mode Dies.  I added Adhesive Sheets on the back the cardstock before die cutting so all I had to do was peel and stick for the numbers.  Easy peasy!  

stampin up, cap and gown

These are specifically designed for See's Candies Lolly Pops.  I purchased a bunch specifically for these party favors.  Other lolly pops of similar sizes would work perfectly too.  I used Misty Moonlight Cardstock for the base of the treat box and the cap is colored in Misty Moonlight and Wild Wheat Stampin' Blends.  You'll need to punch three holes, I just used a handheld punch that is about 1/4" circle.  Punch two holes, one on either end of the holder, in the center.  The third hole punch in the center of the 2" score line.

Tune In Popcorn Slider-VIDEO

I'm back with another fun video today!  I have the cutest little treat for you to share with all your friends, co-workers and more!  I'm using the new Tune In Bundle, this is such a fun bundle for everyone! There's a bag of microwaveable popcorn that you can slide out easily. My popcorn is from Costco.  I used Poppy Parade to match the outside of the popcorn bag.  I'm using a fun retro color palette too!  These are really fun together, Poppy Parade, Coastal Cabana, Basic Beige and Peach Pie.  

stampin up, tune in

I used the dies for all my televisions details.  The stamp set in the bundle also gives you the option to stamp and color the television if you'd rather do that.  Because I was making so many of these I decided to just die cut from cardstock and build my television that way.  My greetings are from the Tune In set, I fussy cut them out.  I added some Sparkle Gems to the knobs on the TV for some added sparkle and texture. 

stampin up, tune in

Make your own:

Poppy Parade 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" score the long side at 1/2" and 4 1/2"; scraps for die cutting

Coastal Cabana, Basic Beige, Peach Pie 4" x 1 1/4"; scraps for die cutting

Basic Gray, Basic Black, Very Vanilla scraps for stamping and/or die cutting

stampin up, tune in

If you wanted to make a card instead of a popcorn slider, it's really simple to transform the elements to a card base.  I added a little extra stamping in Poppy Parade Ink around the edges of my card, besides that it's an exact duplicate! Either project is adorable!

I love dies that cut greetings like this friend die.  It makes such an amazing focal point on your card.  I added an adhesive sheet to my Basic Black Cardstock BEFORE die cutting it.  It makes adhering this delicate greeting quick and simple!
