Birthday Blossoms Card Swap Pocket Card

Here's a fun card swap from my friend Crista Bailey. the Stampin'Up! catalog.  I realized that I never shared this card back in the summer when we did our card swap for the 2015-2016 Stampin'Up! Annual Catalog.  I think there might be a couple more cards from that swap to share too!  So coming soon... more swap cards this week and next week!  

There are so many great products from the Stampin'Up! Annual Catalog.  Sometimes I get so excited about the Holiday catalog and Occasions catalog that I forget about all the great products in the annual catalog:(  This card is a great reminder of what the Stampin'Up! Annual catalog has to offer.

Order HERE -- shop online or contact me to order. 

Crista's pocket card has a slide out panel for a note or you could even attach a gift card to it.  This card is so versatile, I love it.

For the greeting she used Birthday Blossoms stamp set (available in Wood or Clear Mount stamps), and the large flower stamp coordinates with the Pansy Punch!  

Other supplies include Whisper White and Tip Top Taupe card stock, 2015-2017 In Color Envelope Paper (on sale through Monday on the Weekly Deals for Jan. 12-18), 1" Dotted Lace Trim in Watermelon Wonder, and Pearls.  Inks:  Tip Top Taupe, Mint Macaron, and Watermelon Wonder.  

For the tag Crista used the Note Tag Punch and for the insert I think the Envelope Liners Framelits would work well with the Big Shot. Or you could cut and measure 2 rectangles, then trim in at an angle and use a Corner Rounder Punch for the top corners.  

Thank you Crista for a fun card idea that would work well for different occasions. I hope you enjoy!!

You've Got This Shoebox Swap Cards

Have you seen the new You've Got This stamp set? It's available in CLEAR or WOOD.  Here are some fun cards I made at a shoebox swap this week using this stamp set.  I used a number of the new products from Stampin'Up! 2015-2016 annual catalog.  Including Watermelon Wonder (1 of the 2015-2017 In Colors) and 2015-2017 In Color Envelope Paper as an accent on this card.  

It was a fun card to make, I used Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the image, then an Aqua Painter with the Watermelon Wonder ink pad to color the flower.  Aqua Painters are a quick and easy way to watercolor.  This time I used Whisper White card stock, but they work really well with Watercolor Paper too.   Tip with the Aqua Painter:  work in small areas with quick and light strokes.  I reloaded the ink with each petal as I painted the flower.  I didn't use a lot of water, instead lightly stroke the area and if you want it darker, let it dry a bit and apply more color.   Leave a little white for highlights on your image.  

For the stem of the flower I used the 2015-2017 In Color Stampin' Write Markers, Cucumber Crush and Mint Macaron.  

The 2015-2017 In Colors kit is only $32.00 for 5 ink pads and a pack of assorted paper.

The 2015-2017 In Color Envelope Paper is perfect for making your own pretty patterned envelopes, anytime you want.  This thin, text-wieght paper makes perfect envelopes: it's stronger than regular paper and less bulky than card stock.  Making your envelopes slim, trim and gorgeous.

To make the tiny envelopes for the card, use 2" x 2" square of the Envelope Paper, score on the diagonal and then snip the points where the score marks meet.  Fold and you have tiny envelopes!
