She also used Floral Hearts dies, Playful Pets Ribbon Combo pack, and Metallic Pearls.

She added so many sweet little details!

Stampin' Up! In With the New!

Hey there! It's Stampers Dozen Blog Hop time again! Our first theme for 2022 is "In With The New"! With 2022 just two weeks in, this could mean anything, but of course to the Stampers Dozen it means new products, new techniques, new ideas!

For my project this month I decided to combine a new-to-me stamp and die bundle, Encircled in Friendship from the Annual Catalog, with the Daffodil Afternoon 12 x 12 Designer Paper found in the Sale-a-bration brochure. You can choose Daffodil Afternoon as your free gift when you spend $50 this month with me!

For this Daffodil Afternoon print (both the plaid and the floral are on opposite sides of the same piece of paper) I used a Flirty Flamingo card base. I cut the 4" x 5 1/4" piece of  DSP  into two pieces, 1 3/4" x 5 1/4" and 2 1/4" x 5 1/4".

I used an Encircled in Beauty die to cut Very Vanilla, then stamped with a floral Encircled in Friendship image with Flirty Flamingo. I then stamped the Encircled in Friendship greeting with Tuxedo Black ink. I backed the vanilla die-cut with a Flirty Flamingo layer cut with a Layering Circle Die. After adding a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels it was ready to adhere to the Daffodil Afternoon layer with dimensionals.

Here's a close-up of the largest-size Iridescent Rhinestones. They take on the colors of whatever project you put them with!

Inside I stamped the same floral image (stamped-off once) with Flirty Flamingo ink, then stamped another sentiment from Encircled in Friendship with the same Tuxedo Black ink.

Now it's time to hop on over to the next blog to see what the rest of the Stampers Dozen has created this month!

Stampin' Up! Daffodil Afternoon!

Hey there! Today I  have a QUICK AND EASY card to share with you that I created with two Sale-a-bration products, Daffodil Afternoon 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper and the Special Moments stamp set!

Starting with a 4 1/4" x 11" Basic Black card base, I cut a piece of Daffodil Afternoon DSP 4" x 5 1/4". I cut 1 1/2" from the bottom of the DSP, turned it over to the opposite side, then adhered both to a piece of Bumblebee 4" x 5 1/4". I stamped the birthday greeting with Versamark, then heat embossed with black embossing powder. Before adhering to the card front I wrapped an 18" piece of Black & White 1/4" Gingham Ribbon around the layer and tied in a bow.

Brushed Brass Butterflies are new to the January/June Mini Catalog. They come in two sizes and are very flat, but self-adhesive. I added the largest size randomly to the floral-print side of the card, and the smallest one beside the birthday greeting (shown above).

I used two more sentiments from the SAB Special Moments stamp set to the inside of the card and on the envelope.

You can choose the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper as your free gift from Stampin' Up! when you order at least $50 in my online store, or spend $100 and choose the Special Moments stamp set as your freebie!

Be sure to come back tomorrow for the January edition of the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop! Our January theme is "In With The New"! I can't wait to see what everyone has created!

Stampin' Up! Cat Punch!

Hey there! I'm continuing my series featuring many of our punches. Today I'm sharing this card created with the Cat Punch and Heart & Home Designer Series Paper. I used the Heart & Home DSP for the background, the greeting strip, and one of the punched cats!

I punched three cats, one from Cinnamon Cider, one from Crumb Cake, and one from Heart & Home DSP. I embossed the cinnamon cider cat with the Macrame 3D embossing folder and added Early Espresso ink to the edges with a Blending Brush.

After I added Early Espresso to the Crumb Cake cat it started looking like a Siamese!

I embossed the Heart & Home DSP cat with the Tasteful Textiles folder.

I stamped the greeting from Honeybee Home with Early Espresso ink on the flip side of one Heart & Home DSP print. I sponged the edges with Early Espresso and added a tiny Brushed Brass Butterfly.

Inside I stamped an extra layer of Crumb Cake with another sentiment and an image from Honeybee Home. Early Espresso sponging acted as a divider between the layers.

Place your order in my online store and you can choose a freebie with a $50 purchase! There are 5 stamp sets, 3 designer series paper packs, and one stampset/designer paper bundle to choose from (one larger stamp set and the bundle are available to choose with a $100 purchase).

Stampin' Up! Pop-Up Whale Done!

Hey there! Today I have my final card created with the Whale Done stamp set and Whale Builder Punch! Although more time consuming to make, this one is probably my favorite!

For this one I used Pool Party for my card base, 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2". I embossed a 4" x 5 1/4" Basic White with the Seashells 3D embossing folder, then softly added Pool Party ink to the raised images with a Blending Brush.

I stamped the greeting from Happiest of Birthdays with Bermuda Bay ink, cut with a Tasteful Labels die, then stamped the seaweed to match the hand-cut Granny Apple Green seaweed I adhered to the card front with liquid glue. I added a few Coastal Cabana Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins for a bit of sparkle.

When you open the card two Pool Party whales pop up! I adhered them to 1/2" wide pieces of window sheet (clear acetate) that I  sandwiched between two pieces of Pool Party card stock, 1" x 4", scored at 1/2". I adhered the window sheet strips with Tear & Tape adhesive, then adhered the remaining edges over the inside fold the the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from Happiest of Birthdays with Bermuda Bay ink on a Pool Party piece of Simply Marbleous Sale-a-bration paper, then added a seahorse with Bermuda Bay ink and seaweed and fish with Granny Apple Green. The fish and seahorse are found in the Whale Done set.

With the Whale Builder Punch I was able to add a whale to both sides of the window sheet strip, and was even able to coordinate the fins!

I used my Blending Brush to add Pool Party ink around the sides of the whales to give them some depth.

I finished the remaining inside layer with another piece of Pool Party Simply Marbleous paper and Whale done images.

Place your order in my online store and you can choose your own pack of Simply Marbleous Designer Paper with a $50 purchase! There are 5 stamp sets, 3 designer series paper packs, and one stampset/designer paper bundle to choose from (one larger stamp set and the bundle are available to choose with a $100 purchase).

Stampin' Up! Whale Done Seashells!

Hey there! To create my card today I combined the Whale Done stamp set, Whale Builder Punch,  Seashells 3D embossing folder, and some Misty Moonlight ink  blending with a Blending Brush!

After I stamped the greeting with Misty Moonlight ink on the Basic White layer I then embossed with the Seashells 3D folder. I used a Blending Brush to softly add Misty Moonlight ink to make the embossed images pop!

I added Clear Wink of Stella to the whale's "blow" for some sparkle.

Inside I stamped with Misty Moonlight ink and more Whale Done images, then added more Misty Moonlight ink blending around the edges.

Come back tomorrow for one more Whale Done card, this time with a "pop-up" feature!

Stampin' Up! Whale Done!

Hey there! I hadn't played with my Whale Builder Punch is quite awhile, so I decided to give it a play. I discovered that the Simply Marbelous Designer Paper that is a free Sale-a-bration choice with a $50 order can make beautiful "water". I used a Misty Moonlight piece from the pack that has both of these prints on each side. Which one do you think is more water-like?

The Whale Builder Punch punches the whale body, the fin, the mouth/belly, the eye, and the blow/spray.

I tried two different treatments to the blow/spray to give it more of a watery effect. This one I added Clear Wink of Stella.

This one I added Shimmery Crystal Effects.

All of the  images I used on the inside are from Whale Done.

The print from the flip side of the paper.

Stampin Up! Let's Set Sail!

Hey there! Today I have one more center-easel-fold card to share with you, at least for now! As you probably have figured out, I'm really enjoying exploring the possibilities with this fold! I couldn't resist using it with the new Let's Set Sail Bundle from the J/J Mini catalog:

Starting with a Basic Gray card base, I used one of the white woodgrain sides of the Heart & Home Designer Paper to give the side panels of the card front a "shiplap" look. I kept my color scheme decidedly nautical with Real Red, Misty Moonlight, and Basic Gray. I added subtle sky shading with a Blending Brush and Misty Moonlight ink. The water was stamped with one of the images included in the Let's Set Sail set. After stamping the three sections of the sailboat on scraps of Basic White I punched with the Sailboat Builder Punch.

Everything stamped on the inside of this card is from Let's Set Sail, with the exception of the "It's birthday time!" from Awesome Otters I used for the easel "stop".

I had fun making this card. You will too! See my post HERE for a video with instructions to make a Center Easel Fold.

Stampin' Up! Awesome Otters Valentine!

Hey there! Today I'm changing up things a bit with a valentine card I created with the Awesome Otters Sale-a-bration set!

 After stamping the otter with Tuxedo Black ink I colored him with Stampin' Blends, then added a faint edge around him with a Light Pool Party Stampin' Blend.

I only colored the top half of the otter because I knew the bottom half would be covered with the piece of Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper.

I stamped a greeting from the Love & Happiness stamp set. I added a Fresh Freesia In Color Jewel for some sparkle.

I added a piece of Gorgeous Grape 3/8" Organdy Ribbon that I tied a knot in one end before adhering the ends to the back side of the So Saffron layer.

Inside I stamped a sentiment from the Awesome Otters stamp set, free to choose when  you order $50, inside the card.

I also stamped this otter image and colored with the same Stampin' Blends I used on the front. See the product shopping list below to find the colors I used.
