Blooming with Kindness Top Note Die Card

Here's a fun card I made using some retiring items.  I was so sad to see the Top Note die on the Stampin'Up! retiring list.  I love using this die!  Also on the retiring stamp list is the stamp set Blooming with Kindness Wood Stamp Set.  
Have you looked at the retiring list?  All retiring items will be gone on or before June 2.  All items are while supplies last.  See all of the RETIRING PRODUCTS online HERE
I thought it would be fun to use 2 of the Tope Note die cuts layer together for this card.  The card is a piece of card stock 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 2-1/8" and 4-1/4". 
The retiring stamp set Blooming with Kindness Wood Stamp Set is on sale right now, $22.95 $17.21. But hurry, retiring products are while supplies last, and will be gone June 2. 
Stamp the flower once, then use a mask of the image over the top of the image you just stamped.  Without re-inking your stamp, stamp again off set from the first image.  So the lighter second image looks like it is behind the first stamped image.  
For a finishing touch of bling, I used 2-Way Glue Pen and my favorite Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter to add some bling to the card. The photo does not do it justice, this card really sparkles.  Add a couple of Pearls and you have a beautiful card to give.
Supplies:
Blooming with Kindness Wood Stamp Set, Calypso Coral and Whisper White card stock, Calypso Coral ink, Big Shot, Top Note Die, 2-Way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter, Pearls and Snail Adhesive.

Going, going, gone!  June 2 is the last chance to order retiring products!!

Flip Window Card with Indescribable Gift stamp set

Here's another Window Flip card, it features the stamp set from the Stampin'Up! Occasions catalog, which ends June 2.  The Indescribable Gifts stamp set is available in WOOD and CLEAR
I also used the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder to texture the front of the card. I love how embossing folders can add so much texture to a card.
I love the fun fold on this card, and I got the idea for this fun card from other demonstrators.  I just love how wonderful the cards are. I saw a fun flip card video from Julie Davison showing off this Window Flip card where the front middle part opens to reveal the rest of the card.  (She got the idea from a swap from LeeAnn Greff).  So thanks to both of you for a fun card idea!!
Indescribable Gift stamp set in Clear or Wood


The flowers were embossed with Whisper White Craft Ink, White Embossing Powder and set with the Heat Tool.  Then I used Q-tips to add color to the flowers and leaves for that soft look.

Hope you enjoy.

Pretty Flower Bags

I like to make fun hand stamped gifts for my Hostess Club members on occasion.  For April orders I made these pretty flowers, and put them on bags wrapped with ribbon.  This project used only Stampin'Up! products, there are so many products in the catalog you can make just about anything you want.  
The bags are the Polka Dot Tag & Bag Gift Bags, they're on sale as a retiring item!! But hurry, retiring products are while supplies last, and will be gone after June 2.  
I made the flowers using the Blossom Punch and Boho Blossom Punch, both retiring.  But you can use other flower punches to get a similar look.
I punched 3 of the large flower, and distressed my flowers using my bonefolder and crumpling they.  I worked with each flower to break down the fibers in the paper.  Then curled the edges of each flower.  I peeled the middle flower petals so there are 2 layers.  When you distress and break down the fibers you can actually peel the paper apart.  I only peeled the petals and left the center together.  
Then glue the layers together.  
For the smaller flower center I used the Boho Blossom punch, it punches 3 shapes and I used all 3.  Distress the flowers first, then curl and glue together.  I used the Liquid Multipurpose Glue to glue the flowers together, then added a large Pearl in the middle and glue the small set of flowers inside the large ones.  

I used the Builder Bird Punch for the leaves behind the flower.  
Wrapped the bag with the White Jute Ribbon (Love this ribbon, it makes great trim!) and Dimensionals.  

If you have any residual glue the Adhesive Remover works great to remove all that.  Just carefully rub in the area the glue is on.  



Going, going, gone!  June 2 is the last chance to order retiring products!!

Soccer Coach Cards

Another soccer season comes to an end, so it's time for cards for the coaches to thank them for all their hard work.  I try and do something different each season.  This time I had a fun idea for the fold out card on the right, and the card left is your basic card.   
Left card: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" scored at 4-1/4"
Right card: 2 score marks, folds into a tri-panel card

Fun Fold Tri-Panel Card Measurements:
Whisper White card stock:  10-3/8" x 5-1/2", score at 2-1/4" and 6-3/8"
Fold and closed, the card measures 4-1/16" x 5-1/2"
Garden Green card stock pieces measure 3-3/4" x 5-1/4" and 2" x 5-1/4"
The soccer ball was made with the Big ShotHexagon Hive Thinlits Die and Circle Collections Framelits.
I used the Hexagon Hive Thinlits Die with Basic Black card stock.  Then adhered it to a piece of Whisper White card stock using the Liquid Multipurpose Glue.  After I used the Circle Collections Framelits to cut out my soccer ball and adhered to the card front with Dimensionals.  

If you have any residual glue the Adhesive Remover works great to remove all that.  Just carefully rub in the area the glue is on.  

 Big Shot with Decorative Dots Embossing Folder for texture on the Garden Green.
There are lots of textures to choose from with Stampin'Up! Embossing Folders.

Here's the inside, not that exciting, but we needed lots of room for the girls to all sign the card.   

Supplies used:
Stamps: Sassy Salutations and Lots of Thanks (retiring stamps, gone June 2!!)
Big ShotHexagon Hive Thinlits Die, Circle Collections FramelitsDecorative Dots Embossing Folder
Liquid Multipurpose GlueAdhesive RemoverDimensionals.
