YAY it’s the weekend! Well at least for me because I don’t work on Fridays and that truly is one of my favorite things. Today I thought I would round out the week with one last card using our Beary Cute Bundle. Although I am not using those adorable polar bears today, I did create a winter scene the accent stamp for the trees.
My card base is Garden Green and I used our Garden Green ink for the trees and the greeting. But before I added my snow bank and trees I embossed a Basic White panel with the Snowflake Sky embossing folder featured in the Holiday Mini catalog.
Happy Monday everyone. Today I am happy to share with you three cards I created using the Beary Cute Bundle and the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper pack. I hope this puts you in the mood for creating your Christmas cards. That time will be here in just a few short weeks. The Beary Cute Bundle is featured on page 23 and 24 in the holiday mini catalog. If you are having trouble accessing the video, click button below.
Fun Fact: Did you know that the punch for this bundle crops the brown polar bear from the “A Walk in the Forest” Designer Series Paper pack? A Walk in the Forest is pictured on page 4 and 5 in the mini catalog and the trees in this paper pack also coordinate with the Merriest Trees Dies on page 69. Check it out and order your today! Happy Stamping!

Well, I am continuing my week of tribute to my fellow crafty demonstrators with two cards created with the Medley Mix Bundle featured on page 57 in the Holiday Mini catalog. My cards today are brought to you by Sally Nusbaum and Julie Weber. Thanks girls for sharing your talents with us.
Medley Mix Bundle
Sally used Moody Mauve ink and a Blending Brush with one of our decorative masks to create a fun background. We used the punch to crop the star from the Moody Mauve and Very Vanilla before adding these layers to the card. It is a great way to minimize your cardstock waste.
Medley Mix Bundle
Julie used Very Vanilla and Pretty Peacock to add a bit of texture to her card. I believe she used the Glorious Gingham 6 x 6 Designer paper to punch out the X’s. I hope you have fun creating with all of these card ideas.

Today’s card is a fun fold using the Courage and Faith stamp set with the Countryside Corners bundle and the Countryside Inn designer series paper pack. I love all the scripture saying in this set and of course love, love, love all the blues in this paper pack.
I began with a Blueberry Bushel card base and scored it at 2-1/8 and at 4-1/4. I folded the card in half and the back onto itself at the 2-1/8″ score. The strip of designer series paper measures 2 x 4 and is layered on the folded back portion of the card front. I then cut the frames using the Countryside Corner dies with Blueberry Bushel and Boho Blossom cardstock.
I stamped the frame outline from Countryside Corners and the greeting from Courage and Faith with Blueberry Bushel on a piece of Basic White scrap and cut using the corner dies. Mount it to the left side of your card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and add a few silver pearls and your card is complete.
I hope your heart is full of trust today and always. Happy Stamping!

Sometimes you just need a flower pick me up and the Two Tone Flora stamp set is a perfect way to chase the blues away. This fun card was created using Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss ink. I stamped off for a second generation lighter image with the solid flower image with Blackberry Bliss ink. The detailed stamp in this two-step stamp set was inked and stamped with full juice!

The Mossy Meadow and the Blackberry Bliss combo gives a very elegant look, but every time I stamp with this set I am amazed at how great these florals look in all color combos. Try a few combos in both light and dark colors, I know you will not be disappointed. Happy Stampin’!

One of my favorite things about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is the opportunity to gather with other demonstrators and share ideas. I recently had an opportunity to gather with about 28 other demos for a fun day of stamping and sharing.
Coffee was not involved and that truly is sad, but my card today was inspired by fellow demonstrator Angie Dixon. She created a lovely card swap and graciously gifted one to me. Her swap inspired me to create today’s card. Thanks Angie for your generosity!
This is a quick and easy fun fold card. I started with a Melon Mambo card base measuring 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5-1/2 to create the basic card. To create the fun fold front, simply score the card front panel in the center at 2-3/4″ and fold back to create front fold. See photo below.
For the front panel cut a 2-1/2 x 4 piece of Tahitian Tide and stamped the Sketched Plaid Background stamp w/Tahitian Tide ink. The dear friend is stamped with Tahitian Tide ink and fussy cut. The white panel with the girls is a piece of Basic White CS-3×3. You can round the corners for a softer look.
The girls are colored with a variety of Stampin’ Blend Markers. You can choose whatever color coordinates with your card base. This card looks like it took a long time to create, but trust me our Stampin’ Blend Combo alcohol markers makes color super fast and easy. Happy Stamping!

Today I created a pitcher of iced tea with the so Refreshing Bundle and the new color Pecan Pie. I am not sure what is it like in your neighborhood, but it is really hot here and today is a perfect day for some refreshing iced tea.
I started with a Pecan Pie card base and added a layer of Basic White, a second layer of Pecan Pie and to the last layer of Basic White I stamped the greeting in Pecan Pie ink. On some scraps of Basic White I stamped the pitcher, ice cubes and glasses all in Pecan Pie, cropped them with the coordinating dies in the bundle and added them to the card front.
If you are not an iced tea fan, perhaps you are a cold brew fan. This card could easily be sent to a coffee or tea lover. Have fun creating with all the extra dies in this bundle.

I just love that stinkin’ cute turtle from our Playing in the Rain stamp set, not to mention the cloud stamps and dies. Just add a little color with our Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers and this card really comes to life. I used a blending brush and some of the Azure Afternoon ink to create the blue sky. The flowers are colored with a Daffodil Delight Blend marker.
I started with a Basic White card base and added a layer of Azure Afternoon blue to match the sky. The clouds are stamped in Smoky Slate and the turtle, flowers and greeting in Memento Black ink. I used the Crumb Cake and Old Olive Blends to color the turtle. He is so sweet, just look at that face. I created the grass freehand with Old Olive and Granny Apple Green Blends.
I am not sure what the weather is like in your neighborhood, but our forecast here is calling for clear skies and a high of 90. Looks like this is the perfect card for my neighborhood. Happy Stamping!

Happy Friday! While I love the Nature’s Prints stamp set and the look of Ginkgo leaves, I would never want one of these trees in my yard. Did you know that the Ginkgo tree is one of the oldest living tree species in the world. This tree is native to China. The leaves are very pretty, but they smell horrible.

Today’s card features one of my favorite new colors, Pecan Pie. I layered a panel of Mossy Meadow and then stamped on a 3¾ x 5 panel of white with Mossy Meadow leaves and Pecan Pie splatter. The greeting is stamped in Pecan Pie and layered on a 1 x 2″ panel of Pecan Pie.
To add a bit of dimension, I added some Mossy Meadow leaves cropped from the coordinating dies behind the greeting using a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. Happy Stamping!

Happy Tuesday! Today’s cards was created by the design team at Stampin’ Up! I love the bright colors of the Designer Series Paper used on this card. The strips of paper were cut from the Brights Designer Series Paper pack and the Glorious Gingham 6×6 paper pack.
This card features the Hey Chick Bundle, our watercolor pencils and the Loose Daisy embellishments. I love how they used the designer series papers to create a diagonal design. Cut 1/2″ strips from a variety of designer series paper packs and glue them diagonally to a 3¾ x 5 panel of Basic White cardstock.
The chick is stamped in Memento Black ink on a 3 x 3 piece of Basic White CS and colored with our watercolor pencils and a blending pen. Add the greeting and attach this cute chick with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. Step it up a bit with a few Loose Daisy embellishments. Isn’t it amazing how just a little embellishment changes the look of a card. I love it!
