Project Supplies

  • Basic White card
  • 2 1/4 x 5 1/2″ strip of Designer Series Paper
  • 1/2 x 5 1/2″ strip of Pretty Peacock CS embossed with the metallic plate
  • Pretty Peacock Ink
  • Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set

That is all for our Weekly Wednesday video for making a fast and easy birthday card in less than five minutes. Really the hardest part of this card is making sure your cardstock to be embossed is straight and does not shift in the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine. Once you have your faux ribbon pieces cut your future cards will be that much quicker! Happy Stamping!

Get Well & Sympathy, Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos /

Happy Monday everyone! I am so excited to share with you a sneak peek for a new bundle that will be coming in September in the Holiday Mini Catalog. Coming this fall, Winterly Tree Tops. I know you will have fun creating all year round with this adorable set of birds and greenery. Even though it will debut in the Holiday Mini, it is definitely a set that is great for all seasons.

My mom would have loved this set. She always enjoyed sitting on her deck and watching the birds, especially in the spring as they were building their nests. If you are a bird lover, this bundle is for you!

Sunshine and Rainbows-Fun Fact Friday!

Fun Fact Friday, Stamping Techniques, Thinking of You /

Today I am sharing with you a card I sent to a friend who recently had a knee replacement. I am not sure she has received the card yet, so if she sees this post before she gets her card then I guess she gets twice the sunshine and rainbows. The greeting I used to create this card is from Kindest Expressions and is available in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. The background was created using the Bubble Up Technique that I shared with you on Monday! Click here if you missed that post.

I stared with a Flirty Flamingo card base and added a layer of Basic Black CS. The Bubble Up technique was created using about 10 drops of Calypso Coral re-inker and 1/4 cup of bubbles. I stamped my greeting with Memento Black ink and yes, I used my stamp positioner to make sure it stamped well on my background.

Fun Fact!

Did you know that according to science, soap bubbles do not actually fly, they float? The bubble film and the air trapped inside of it are incredibly lightweight. When they float through the air, what you are watching is the bubbles riding on top of denser carbon dioxide (CO2) gas molecules in the outside air!

Check out the fun bubble technique in video #166 from my Mondays Make it Monday Video Series. I know you will have fun creating with this technique . Create multiple backgrounds and save them for future projects. My card today took about 2 minutes to create!

Sneak Peak Embossing Folder-Weekly Wed.#23

Just Because Cards, Weekly Wednesday Videos / /

The background on our card today was created using a new embossing folder that will be coming in the next mini catalog. The Birch Wood embossing folder will be a great addition for your fall card making, but it also makes a great textured background as you see in today’s video.

https://youtu.be/PqeDPA_o13Q

I used a Basic White card, some Blackberry Bliss cardstock and a panel of the new In-Color Petunia Pop. These colors come together to make a stunning card. I also used the Spotlight on Nature leaves and butterfly. See video for more detials.

I hope you enjoyed today’s video, join me next week for more stamping fun with two new videos. I will post a Make It Monday on Monday and another let’s make it together video for our Weekly Wednesday series. Until then, Happy Stamping!

Bubble Up Technique Samples

Stamping Techniques, Thank You, Thinking of You /

Hey all, yesterday I shared the Bubble Up Technique on my Make It Monday video, click here if you missed that video.

Today I am sharing the two cards that we created at my June stamp camp using this fun and a little bit messy technique. If you prepare your surface well, it really is not that messy and since we are using Stampin’ Up! re-inkers, they wash right out.

I shared these cards in yesterday’s video, but they were not included in the pdf project sheet. The black accent is from the Wonderful Thoughts dies. I started with a Basic White card base and added a layer of Balmy Blue. The greeting is cut with Paper Snips and I showed how to create this kind of tag in last weeks Weekly Wednesday video, click here if you missed that post.

Our second card was also created with the blue Bubble Up background. I began this card with the Azure Afternoon cardstock and added a layer of Basic Black before the technique background panel. I used the Texture Floral Bundle for my flowers and accent pieces. The greeting is from the Courage & Faith stamps set.

I hope you will give this fun technique a try. It really is an easy way to create a variety of beautiful backgrounds for your next card making session. Happy Stamping!
