Party Pandas, another fun card!

A third fun Party Panda card from my friend Jeanne Treptow.  Yep, we love this stamp set.  And here's a fun quote from Jeanne "If I was stuck on a deserted island with 1 stamp set, ink and paper?  This is the one!" It is such a fun set, I think I agree with her.  

Party Pandas card, SAB (WOOD or CLEAR) mount stamp set

The Party Panda stamp set is available from Stampin'Up! as a free Sale-A-Bration (SAB) product when you spend $50 in Stampin'Up! products.  Party Pandas is available in WOOD or CLEAR mount stamps.  This stamp set brings a smile to my face every time I see it used!   

This card would be a great masculine card, but really I think it would be wonderful for anyone.   

Jeanne's Party Pandas card, SAB (WOOD or CLEAR) mount stamps

Don't these guys just make you smile when you look at them?  

Jeanne is also a demonstrator in my downline.  We send each other cards throughout the year.  Why? Because it's fun to share ideas and since Jeanne doesn't live in Denver any more it's a great way to keep in touch.  We have been friends for years, it's just one of the many wonderful friendships I have made since becoming a Stampin'Up! Demonstrator.

Jeanne's Card Recipe:

• Party Pandas stamp set (available in CLEAR or WOOD) (free SAB item when you spend $50)
• Smokey Slate, Night of Navy, Real Red, and Whisper White card stocks
• Memento Tuxedo Black ink (see all the great inks HERE)

Party Pandas SAB item available in WOOD or CLEAR mount stamps

The Stampin'Up! catalogs are filled with wonderful products, and you can earn FREE Sale-a-Bration(SAB) products with every $50 you spend on any Stampin'Up! products (That means all of it! The annual catalog and the occasions catalog too!)

But SAB is more than just shopping and earning free products, it's also gives you more when you host, and if you join the Stampin'Up! family you get to pick 2 additional stamp sets in your starter kit!  That's a huge value (up to $227 worth of product depending on your choices)! You get to choose what you get in your starter kit, so if you want that Big Shot you can choose it.

Party Pop-Ups Birthday Cards

Here is the third birthday card we made at my Birthday Card Class, using the new Party Pop-Up Thinlits Dies! This die makes fun pop-up cards, or like I did on the front of this card, cut the image and use the die cut as a design.  I got the idea for this card from my friend Glenda Timkovich. She made a great swap using this card.  

Make your best wishes pop in the most wonderful way with the Party Pop-Up Thinlits Dies. There are 2 dies to create any outside card base, then adhere the die-cut pop-up piece inside. The dies have center marks so you can center them on the scored center of your card for a pop up inside the card to give anyone a surprise.

Here are the pieces for the front of the cards.  

Use Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush for some added glitter on the Happy Birthday, or add glitter to anything you like.  This brush is perfect for writing and adding subtle controlled glitter to images. 

After using the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush for glittery accents, use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the die and the Dazzling Diamonds Glitter Paper. The Fine-Tip Glue Pen means no more mess!  Use this anytime you need a whisper-thin strand of glue, the slender precision tip lays down a fine line of glue, great for tiny details.

SUPPLIES: Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron and Whisper White card stock, Cherry On Top Designer Paper Stacks, Party Pop-Up Thinlits Dies, Big Shot, Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, Fine-Tip Glue Pen and Snail Adhesive.

 To put together the 2 card inside pieces, put snail on one side, line up with the center score mark, then glue that side to the back card. Add more glue to the other side of the Watermelon Wonder card, then fold the outer card down onto the Watermelon Wonder card, so they are folded and closed together.  

Sale-A-Bration (SAB) ends a week!  This great stamp set will be gone, but right now you can pick this fun set as your free SAB item when you spend $50 in product.

CASEd Birthday Cards at Card Class

Finally, I have pictures to share from last weekends card class!  We had so much fun making these cards at class, and you know what?  I CASEd all 3 of them!  Yep, I saw really cute ideas from other Stampin'Up! demonstrators and copied them to share at class.  Sometimes I love making my own ideas, and other times I love to copy. 

Want to come to a class and make fun cards?  I'm in the Denver area and would love to see you at a class.  Contact me to attend, or check my calendar HERE.

What is CASE?  Copy And Share Everything.  I love to CASE other people's ideas, it's a form of flattery to copy things you like.  Plus, I love stamping, but I cannot come up with original ideas all the time.  Sometimes I just want to copy someone else's great idea.  You can do it too!  Just remember to give credit to those when you copy.  I have listed the great people I copied from below.  Hope you enjoy.

All 3 of the original cards I copied can be found on one of my Pinterest Boards - SU 2015 Occasions & SAB.  See them all there, and so many more fun ideas too.

CASEd Birthday Cards from Birthday Card Class

This great card came from Dawn Olchefske. I loved it so much, the colors, the look, the fun way she folded the card.  

Fun Fold Measurements for my card:

Crisp Cantaloupe card stock 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored at 2-1/8" and 4-1/4"

Finished size is 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"

Whisper White 4" x 5-1/4"

Other supplies used:

Calypso Coral Ink Pad, Stampin' Markers:  Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Best Day Ever Designer Series Paper (SAB free item), Big Shot, Labels Collection Framelits, Baker's Twine, Rhinestones, Dimensionals

This great card idea came from Caroline van de Straaten Onafhankelijk.  I changed the colors on this card, but earlier I made a card pretty similar to hers. Here's a link to Carol's other CASEd card.  I found this great idea on Pinterest.com.  You can follow me on Pinterest too!

Instead of my Big Shot I used the Texture Boutique Machine with my embossing folder.  It's a quick and easy way to add texture to your projects. And how do you line up the leaves with the flowers in this 2-step stamping set?  I used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig!  It's a must-have for any stamper!  It helps you position the stamp image exactly where you want it, every time.  

Supplies used:

Painted Petals stamp set (available in Wood, Clear and Photopolymer stamps), And Many More stamp set, Whisper White and Blackberry Bliss card stock, Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive Inks, Texture Boutique Machine, Modern Mosaic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, 2-1/2" Circle Punch, Blackberry Bliss 3/8" Satin Stitched Ribbon, Silver Baker's Twine, Pearls, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Dimensionals

Fun Fold Tri-Panel Card

This fun card came from Amy Whelan. I saw it on Pinterest (see where I get a lot of my ideas) and had to check her blog for more information.  Amy did a really cute card with hot air balloons, but I didn't have that stamp set. I did have the papers and colors she used though.  I do love balloons and I have Birthday Bash.  So I followed her directions on the fun fold she did and improvised on some of the rest.  

I guess I was still on a roll with the framelits that Dawn used on the card above, so I used different framelits on this card. I wanted something that would fit inside my frame, so I played with the different sizes in the Window Frames Collection Framelits. For the banner, I stamped Celebrate banner in Calypso Coral ink on scrap Whisper White and hand cut.  Then I used Dimensionals to pop it up on the Coastal Cabana stamped image.

It's hard to see in the photos, but the White Framelit is glued to the card, I did not do a special cut to get it all on one piece of paper.  

Fun Fold Tri-Panel Card Measurments:

Whisper White card stock 10-3/8" x 5-1/2", score at 2-1/4" and 6-3/8"

Fold and close card, mine is 4-1/16" (Amy made her's so the balloons can hang out, I ended up not doing that, but it fits great in the envelope!)

Coastal Cabana card stock 3-3/4" x 5-1/4"

     (textured with Decorative Dots Embossing Folder)

Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper (SAB free item) 2" x 5-1/4"

Other Supplies used:

Birthday Bash stamp set, Coastal Cabana, Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry Ink, Big Shot, Window Frames Collection Framelits, Baker's Twine, Rhinestones, Dimensionals

Well, that was a lot of information, but the cards were so fun.  If you are interested in purchasing your own supplies...Shop Stampin'Up! Online HERE.
