FREE SHIPPING + Words & Wishes Card

 

FREE SHIPPING TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY!!! Simply go to inkyfingers.stampinup.net; login to your account; and SHOP!  Orders must be $75 or more.

I love using "nest-able" dies and Everyday Arches fit into that group.

Add them to beautiful Floral Charm Designer Series Paper and it's easy to create a gorgeous card.  Thanks to Ann Verillo for the idea.  This stamp set has lots of sentiments for the inside of the card, too.

The cake is stamped in Timid Tiger ink and then lightly colored with both the light and dark Petal Pink Blender Pens.  Happy Birthday use Blackberry Bliss ink.  The "birthday" is punched with the Three Banner Punch, using only the center punch.  Enjoy (and yes, we're making this card next week in my class).

Artisan Sketched Garden

 Stampin' Up! creates the BEST Designer Series Papers!!!  This card (created by Barb Brimhall) really highlights using that paper.  

The three potted flowers are colored and then fussy cut (no dies) from the DSP.  You have a variety of choices as to which potted flowers to use and what to color them because the paper is ALL black and white.  The backside has different black and white designs ( I used the dotted one).  Just color in with Stampin' Blends. Add your choice of sentiment and you can create a card for any occasion.  Shop HERE
Have a great weekend~~~Susie

Exciting Times Gift Card Holder

I don't know about you, but giving a gift card for a birthday, graduation, new baby, etc. is always a go-to place for me. You can make this card with or without a spot for a gift card, that's up to you.  Changing the sentiment for the occasion is easy, too.  Thanks to bonniestamped for the great idea!  

Just grab whatever Designer Series Paper you've got on hand, match to the card stock and ribbon, and you can easily create this card.  On the inside, I did do a half punch to create the holder. Use Tear and Tape to tack the fold down securely.
Score card base (4-1/4 x 11") at 5-1/2" and again at 1-1/4" to create the gift card holder.
Stamp the Rounded Rectangle on both white and colored card stock; you'll fussy cut out the one on colored card stock.
Don't Forget the Product of the Month!!

Opulent Oasis Scalloped Box

Something a bit different for this Friday---a Scalloped Window Box.  I knew I had paper from Velvet Meadow DSP and I have fallen in love with using the Scalloped Bloom Dies, so why not create something that uses all them.  Plus, I wanted to incorporate the Opulent Oasis stamps/dies.  It took a few tries to get it to the point that I was happy with it, but I'm happy with the finished product.  We'll be making this in my classes on 6/1-6/2. Shop HERE

The dark leaves use the Velveteen Paper, too.  I doubled cut the label for the sentiment and layered them together.  It needed a touch of the Bubble Bath pink!  Enjoy your long weekend!  ~~~Susie

Easy Card--Berry Botanical Vellum

 Sometimes an easy card is the BEST!  And using the Berry Botanical Vellum Specialty Paper (Product of the Month) is a simple way to do that.  It's the May Product of the Month and can be yours for only $5 with a $75 purchase.  This vellum uses beautiful Springy colors--Flirty Flamingo, Fresh Freesia, Hydrangea Hue just to name a few.  Thanks Mary Knabe for the great video!

Super quick card to make using this vellum.  Card base is Fresh Freesia; add 4 x 5-1/4" vellum layer.  Layer another 3-1/2 x 4-1/2" piece of Fresh Freesia.  Add 3 strips of Vellum (1 x 4-1/4") on card stock.  I do the outer ones first.  Stamp sentiment onto Fresh Freesia scrap and die cut.  Use White Gel Pen to add detail; attach with dimensions and you're done.
