Weekly Wed. #97 Three Easy Cards

Leave a Comment / Happy Birthday, Thinking of You, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Hey friends a few weeks ago I hosted a cards and cocktails event for my neighbors. It was fun to get together with the ladies that I see all the time but really did not know much about. It was a good evening of fellowship and helped our neighborhood feel more connected. Who knows perhaps some of these lovely ladies will join me for my June card class-fingers crossed!

Today I am sharing with you three of the card I created for this event. I was trying to keep them simple, but in the video I do share a stepped up version for two of my three cards. Enjoy!

Here is a closer look!

Use whatever patterned paper you have available in your stamping stash. This last card is great for scraps. It only takes a few scraps to create this card. If you have a lot of scraps, pick those that coordinate and skip the butterfly stamping. There are so many fun options. Be sure to stop back on Monday for another video tutorial. Better yet, subscribe and you will get an email every time I add a new post. Happy Stamping!

Weekly Wed. #94 April 2026 Product of the Month-Eyelet Bloom Die

2 Comments / Happy Birthday, Thank You, Weekly Wednesday Videos, Welcome Baby! /

Hey all there is still time for you to grab the April product of the month. I think you will love this beautiful die. I have a feeling this amazing die will be great for creating all kinds of card. I can see using it for wedding cards , mother’s day cards, and yes, even Christmas cards. I think this die would be gorgeous cropped from some of the glitter paper for Christmas. Pair it with the Words and Wishes set, coming May 5th and you will have a spectacular card creation.

As a reminder all product of the month items are while supplies last. Yes, this amazing die is still available so if you haven’t grabbed yours yet, I highly encourage you to do that before they are gone.

$5 with a $75 online purchase!

Sorry in the video I think I mentioned that this card was a birthday card. My bad, it is a super fun baby card. A shout out of thanks to fellow demonstrator, Rebecca for sharing this design. I copied it from the Stampin’ Up! website and only tweaked it a tiny bit. Rebecca had an image on the onesie that she embossed with white embossing powder. It looked great, but I was too lazy for that. LOL

Make It Monday #251 ~ Strip Paper Piecing Technique

Designer Series Paper, Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos, Stamping Techniques, Thinking of You /

Happy Easter Monday! I pray that our Risen Lord will bless you abundantly during this Easter Season. I thought it would be fun to go through my springtime DSP scraps to create a few fun cards for you. So dig out your leftover scraps and create something beautiful with me today.

Did you know that when you cut a 12 x 12 piece of DSP into six card fronts measuring 4 x 5 1/4 that you will have a strip of 1 1/2 x 12 left over? Fun, right? Well, when that happens, don’t throw them away or cut them down because today I am going to show you how to use them to create a strip paper piecing card. Check out the video below that explains how this technique works.

Here is a closer look at our cards for today!

Make It Monday #249-Notes of Spring

Easter-Spring, Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos, Thank You, Thinking of You /

Hey friends, I am excited to share with you the March product of the month, Notes of Spring. If you don’t have this cute little set, you still have time to place a $75 order before the end of the month. I am sure you will love playing with these sweet little characters. They make great spring and Easter cards!

It is really hard to pick a favorite, but I think I am partial to the stinkin’ cute duckling. It would make a sweet birthday card for all ages. Have fun creating with this cute set. The sky is the limit!

A Closer Look at today’s cards!

I stamped and cut out my cute little duckling, but that is only because I dropped this little guy when I was stamping on my white panel. Not to worry, there are no mistakes in stamping, only creative opportunities, so I just stamped him again and used my handy dandy paper snips to cut him out. Whala, it is fixed! You can just stamp your image directly to the card panel, or stamp and crop him. Either way his is so stinkin’ cute.

I stamped and used my paper snips to crop these little ones on purpose. It was much quicker and easier than masking, but either way will work.

I usually don’t use much of the Sea Foam cardstock, but today, I guess I was in the mood for a little light colored spring. I think it turned out perfectly if I do say so myself. I love the tone on tone look. I did add a but of ink with a sponge dauber to the greeting just for a little darker highlight! Love it~

Masking Techniques Part Two Weekly Wed. #89

Happy Birthday, Thinking of You, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Happy Wednesday all. You are half way to the weekend and the weather is looking fantastic. Of course any weather day is a good day for stamping, but sunny and warm is always nice. Today I am sharing with you a few more techniques as we continue with our masking fun.

I do hope these techniques will help you think outside the box when creating your hand-stamped cards. If you don’t have making paper, you can always use printer paper. The key is to use a thin paper so you will not have dramatic lines around your masked images. Stampin’ Up! masking paper just makes everything easier because it is adhesive backed. I love using this, especially when I am using the Blending Brushes…..so much easier!
