Life is Grand

The Life is Grand stamp set (148744, $27.00) on page 17 in the 2019 Occasions Catalog is simply amazing. I’m not sure how I overlooked it when I first glanced through the catalogue – but it sure has my attention now!

To make this card I paired it with the free Sale-a-bration Painted Season Bundle (150349) which you can earn with a $120 order. These ‘Distinktive’ stamps make gorgeous stamping so simple. I made a facebook video where I make a very similar card (just changed up the embellishments) however due to technical difficulties with Facebook today the video is not running very smoothly. You can try viewing it here – if it is glitchy I apologize. These stamps are so simple to use though – literally ink, stamp, done.

The dimensions of the paper I used are listed below:

Mint Macaron CS base – 5-1/2″ X 8-1/2″ (score at 4-1/4″)
Whisper White CS – 5-3/8″ X 4-1/8″ (X2 – front and inside)
Whisper White CS – 4″ X 2-1/2″ to cut out with the stitched rectangle dies
Painted Season DSP 5-3/8″ X 2″
Flirty Flamingo CS 1″ X 5″ (then use any square or cornered punch to make the banner end)
Scrap Whisper White CS to stamp the flower and leaf ( then fussy cut – or use the Four Season Framelit dies if you have them)

Any questions about this card or any of the products – just contact me.

Best Bunny All Occasions Card

I made this sweet card for a colour challenge with my stamping team. We were asked to use one or all of the soon to be retiring in-colours. I chose to focus on the Lemon Lime Twist ( the colour of this mini ruffled ribbon). Nothing fancy about the stamping – although I probably should have used my stamparatus to get those bunnies a bit more level. You can see my full list of supplies below.
I purposefully did not put a sentiment on this card so it could be used as an Easter card, a birthday card, a baby card, or a thank you.

Lasting Lily Card – tips and tricks for usng the SAB coordinating dies

I can’t wait for spring to arrive! I used the Lasting Lily (FREE Sale-a-bration stamp set) and the coordinating Lily Framelit Dies to create this multi-purpose card. On the inside you could use one of the sympathy greetings, the “I adore you” image, or grab a different stamp set and ink up a birthday or an easter greeting. The possibilities are endless.

Below are the dimensions for the cardstock and dsp. To see how I put the whole thing together head over to facebook and watch my video.

Highland Heather CS – 5-1/2″ X 8-1/2″, score at 4-1/4″
Wood Textured DSP 5″ X 2-1/8″
Gray Granite CS 4-1/2″ X 2″1/2″
Whisper White CS 4-3/8″ X 2-3/8″
scrap Whisper White CS to stamp lilies and stems on

January 2019 Paper Pumkin Alternative Valentine Card

This sweet Valentine (which could easily be a baby shower card with a different saying) was made using leftover bits from my January 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit and and an uninked Spectrum pad. Stampin Up! has really upped their game with the Paper Pumpkin kits. January was the adorable Animal Outing Valentines treats. With so many extras, even after making all 24 treat pouches I had 8 leftover kangaroos and 8 leftover lizards, along with paper hearts and the epoxy hearts. Wow! My February kit is in the mail (Yay!) and should be fabulous, 9 cards with a succuluents theme. And March’s Birthday card kit is now available to order! If you haven’t tried Paper Pumpkin now is the time. The March kit is a special 6 year birthday pack and you will get an extra stamp set! Also if you sign up for the 12 months subscription you will save the cost of one month and earn 4 Sale-a-bration items!!!

As for the rest of the card – to create the background I inked up an uninked spectrum pad and then stamped the ink pad directly to my paper. Check out my video for a very similar card I created using the same technique. The sentiment was stamped with Staz On ink so it would not smudge and then adhered with glue dots hidden behind the ribbon.

Happy Tails Reverse Image Card

I used the Happy Tails bundle to create this cute card. I left it blank on the front so it can become a valentine, a friendship card, or even a pet sympathy card.
Check out my video to see how I reverse stamped and paper punched the dog on the left. https://www.facebook.com/theStampinPad/videos/1475953322537472/
