Butterfly Birthday Card

I love all the bundles in the Stampin'Up! Catalog, right now you can save when you get the Butterfly Bundle.  Just announced you can save 15% off the bundle.  See it below, but first a card using these items.  
I always need more birthday cards.  I had a whole lot of birthdays in August.  Here's another one of the cards I made.  


I used the Bitty Butterfly Punch and the Elegant Butterfly Punch with the Papillion Potpourri stamp set.  Both punches work so well with this stamp set.  
Here's a different angle so you can see the butterflies are raised up on the card.  Just a little bit of a dimensionals along the center of the butterfly, fold and you can put popped up butterflies all over your card.

Fun Flowers Birthday card

My mother-in-law is turning 80 this week!  Here's the pretty card we gave her.  I wanted to make something special for someone special.  Do you have any special birthdays coming up?  Sending someone a card like this would really make their day.
The shimmer does not really show well in the photos, but there is some shimmer there!  I used a Stampin' Sponge to apply ink to the En Francais background stamp so it looks soft and faded, then sponged around the edges as well.  I do not think the photos do it justice.  
Use the Bone Folder to curl up the petals of the flowers giving it depth, and dimensionals between the layers to build it up. I like to use either Mini Glue Dots or Multipurpose Liquid Glue when I use Glitter Paper, these adhesives seem to hold better with Glitter Paper.


En Francais and Blooming with Kindness stamp sets, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Primrose Petals, Champagne Glitter Paper, Stampin' Sponge, Big Shot, Fun Flowers, 7/8" Scallop Circle, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Glue Dots, Dimensionals and Bone Folder

Rock n Roll Flower

Here's a birthday card I sent to my roomie from convention.  I love the colors on this one, and the Rock and Roll technique on the flower.  Sponging makes a nice antique look too.

I wanted some sparkle so I used some pearls and sprayed it with a shimmer.  Unfortunately the shimmer does not show so well in the photos.  
If you want to add a shimmer to any card, put in 5-7 drops of Illuminate refill ink and fill with 70% alcohol.  Shake well and spray your surface.  Want more shimmer, then add more of the refill, you can also add 1-2 drops of a color to give your shimmer a tint.  
Rock n Roll Technique:  stamp the lighter color first, then roll the edges of the stamp in the darker color.
For the background I used the En Francais stamp with Crumb Cake, first I stamped off the ink for a lighter image, then lightly stamped on the card stock.  Sponge all around the outside with Crumb Cake and then stamp images on top of this background.

Blooming with Kindness, Sassy Salutations and En Francais stamp sets, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry, Stampin' Sponge, Pearls, Stampin' Spritzer, Illuminate Glimmer Refill

Stamped Muslin Bag

Here's a fun Mini Muslin Bag from the Stampin'Up! Holiday catalog.  I think these little bags are just perfect for giving a sweet treat.  This is one we made at Convention last month.  Yes, I actually made a couple of my make-n-takes there!  
This was so quick and easy to stamp and tie some ribbon, and I was done!  Just a matter of a couple minutes, I was in and out in 5 minutes for this one, and that was with watching a few samples first.  The classic inks stamp on the muslin really well.

Mini Muslin Bags         132180    $9.95 for 8 bags  (page 36 Holiday catalog)

    Glenda's Beautiful Gift Exchange


    At Convention last month my upline had quick get together and an optional gift exchange one morning.  Make a full card, a bag and a 3D item.  These were Glenda Timkovich's projects, and I LOVED THEM!!!  We were roommates at convention, so I got to see it up close before the exchange. 
    I loved her dresses.  We went to Tara's upline meeting a few months ago and Gina Lantz demonstrated using the Dress Up Framelits, which inspired Glenda.  

    Going to meetings with other demonstrators is a great way to be inspired and get tons of ideas from friends.  Have you ever thought about being a demonstrator?  Contact me for more information, or CLICK HERE for more.  I would love to have you join my group, and through August 31, you get a FREE project kit when you join (click here for promotion)!

    Here's the beautiful card.

    The bag was so pretty, and look there's even a little tag too.
    This sweet box holds nail polish.  What a sweet gift!

    Photopolymer Stamps

    I have seen the Photopolymer Stamps, but had not had a chance to use them until recently.  My friend Crista was showing me one of her sets and I have to say they look good.  Seem easy to use, love that they are clear and a good price too! Check out more information below and see what you think.

    There is even an online class to purchase!  Check out all the online classes HERE.  Purchase and download the information to your computer and have fun.  There are a few class downloads for $14.95 each, and there are a couple of bundles so you get product with your class to get started right away.  Let these classes inspire you!

    Photopolymer Stamps


    Stampin'Up! searched long and hard for just the right material to be able to introduce completely clear stamping. And they found it. Now they have wood-mount, clear-mount AND photopolymer stamps! The new photopolymer will be an addition to the  stamp line and will appeal to all types of stampers. Our top-quality photopolymer has just enough give to create a perfectly stamped image every time and with the introduction of our firm-foam pads, let's just say they're meant for each other! Photopolymer stamps will also be unique, fun designs that will inspire you and provide more versatile options you may not see in our traditional wood- and clear-mount stamp options. 

    What makes them so great?

    • They're entirely transparent for perfect placement every time! 
    • They are durable. The photopolymer material is designed to last. 
    • Can you say sticky? (Don't worry; in a good way.) These stamps stick amazingly well to our clear blocks.
    • They're age tested. They won't yellow or cloud up over time. 
    • We could go on, but we'll let you try them for yourself.
    They are clearly a great choice.
    See all the Online Classes HERE
    Our online class-Seeing the Possibilities (item 134532)-provides all the basics you need to make the most of our newest photopolymer stamp offerings: Show & Tell 1 and 2 Stamp Sets.

    Thinlit Card samples from convention

    Have you seen the new Thinlit Card dies?  I was so excited when I saw them demonstrated at the Stampin'Up! Convention. I love flip-flop or swing cards, but it does take a little time to measure, plan, score, cut.  These new Thinlits make it so easy!!!  

    If you want to see more on Thinlits Card Dies check my blog post HERE.  

    Here are a few samples I saw demonstrated at Convention.  Shelli Gardner did a great job showing off the new products.  This is the Circle Card Thinlit die.  

     Here's some samples of the Label Card Thinlits Die
    Great snowflake card for the holidays!  Just imagine making some of these to send out, everyone will love them.


      Here's a sweet one that folds out to a longer size, Shelli hung a little banner of love inside.

    The way you can make your cards longer, (or even make a scrapbook booklet that folds out) is by not putting the end of your card stock under the die at the end.  See how it is hanging out above the die on the right side.  Run it through the Big Shot this way and you can make the card as long as you like.  

    With the number of dies you're getting, plus the die that creates the card itself, the price is a great value-especially to create an interactive card!
    Here are some suggestions for stamps that pair well with these dies.


    Label Card Thinlits Die (item 133479):
    • Happy Day Stamp Set (item 130294 W item 130297 C)
    Circle Card Thinlits Die (item 133480):
    • Worth the Wait Stamp (item 131094 W)
    • Five-Way Flower Stamp (item 131088 W)
    Both card dies pair well with:
    • Oh, Hello Stamp Set (item 131931 W item 130733 C)
    • Yippee-Skippee! Stamp Set (item 131341 W item 131344 C)
    • Really Good Greetings Stamp Set (item 130330 W item 130333 C)
    • Regarding Dahlias Stamp Set (item 130324 W item 130327 C)
    • These dies also work well with our new magnetic platform (item 130658) so you can place the dies exactly where you want them!
