Stampin' Up!'s Nothing's Better Than Bundle Card

Hello Friends!

I have been playing with the "Nothing's Better Than" bundle from Stampin' Up, all week!  I had so much fun creating this one last night during our weekly Zoom Chat on Monday nights.  We meet, chat and craft in our own spaces, every single Monday night, virtually from 7-9PM EST.  Everyone is welcome, you can join us next week at this link.  



This week I worked on my Cas-ing Tuesday Card.  Every single week the design team snags a layout from the Stampin' Up catalog, and we all use our own supplies to make a card!  

This week's card uses a few different supplies, and I had so much fun making it, The full supply list is below.

Quick Steps/Tips/Commentary:

  • Stamp the coffee cup in Early Espresso ink.
  • Ink up the "filler" stamp with Cinnamon Cider ink, stamp off on a scrap paper, then stamp the "coffee" inside the cup with the ink left on the stamp for a lighter color.
  • Add Whisper White Cardstock to the Foam Adhesive Sheets, then run the cut letters thru your die cutting machine.  (yes, the dies cut the foam adhesive sheets!) 
  • Add some Cinnamon Cider ink to a plastic bag or something you can throw away.  Then, use a Sink of Stella glitter brush to pick up the ink and paint on the letters.
  • Adhere the layers together using Stampin' Up Seal adhesive, (except for the foam shapes which you can just peel the backing off of and adhere to the front of the card). 
  • Adhere the bow with a glue dot.
  • Use a small amount of Liquid glue to adhere the die-cut word "coffee".
The complete supply list is below!  I will be showing this on today's fb live along with 36 projects I created using the Boho Indigo Medley!  You can check out the live video in my private facebook group at 3PM, every Tuesday.  Here's the link to join in the fun.


So this week, our cards were CASE’d from page 72 of the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. You can join our CASE-ing Tuesday Facebook Group to see more samples and/or share your own card with us. Below is everything I used on this wonderful project!  I hope you will join us, it's so fun to play along!

11/7 Regarding Dahlias ~ Hello, you!, clean and simple

Good Evening Friends!

I have a few minutes while I'm waiting for my class to arrive. I wanted to share this sweet card with you. 
This sweet stamp set, Regarding Dahlias makes a quick card in a snap!  Plus, the stamp set is very inexpensive, just $14.95 in clear mount.  I stamped the large flower with a tangerine tango ink pad and the hello you in Island Indigo, both on whisper white paper.  This surprising color combination is just GORGEOUS in real life! 

The white layer was embossed with the woodgrain embossing folder

Short and sweet, that's my little bit of inspiration for you today.  Thanks for stopping by to see me. 

Love,

10/3 Joy to the World, Season Of Style Washi, Circle Framelits,

Good Afternoon Friends! 

When I posted this beautiful Christmas card, I got lots of questions about what I did with the circle that I cut out.  If you want to read about this card, you can click here

Well, here's what I did with the leftover circle!  This was for a class back in August.  Isn't it clever?  I started with the cute washi negative from this first card to create a Season's Greetings  Ornament for the second card with the Joy to the World Stamp Set!  So cool! 

I tried doing this with a circle punch but it would cut the washi tape, so I used my circle framelits for the big shot instead.  
Next I grabbed an Old Olive Simply Styled Embellishment.  Oh what a world it would be, if all bows were pre-tied for me, the way that these cute embellishments are.  So, these come looking like a paperclip and that just would do for what I wanted.  I had my hubby grab is wire cutters from the garage and cut off the inside of the paperclip, so it would look more like a Christmas hook.

Why mention my hubby?  Well, I tried to do it and these paperclips are so well made, I had trouble punching through them myself.  So, I pulled out the muscle.  (and scored girl points all at the same time). {smiles}. Here's a photo of what they look like:
 So we he just cut the inside loop off to make a cute ornament holder!  Whoop! 

I'm going to jump back in and do some measurements for you next. 

Base Layer: Very Vanilla 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded in half at 4 1/4"
Layer 2: Cherry Cobbler 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
Layer 3: Old Olive 5 x 3 3/4", embossed with the Tulips embossing folder
Layer 4: The circle cut from the Season of Style Washi Tape
Layer 5:1 1/4" scalloped circle punch, sponged w/ Old Olive Ink
Layer 6: Champagne colored glimmer paper, punched with a mini star punch (from the merry mini's punch pack) and popped up on a dimensional. 

That's all for today!  Thanks for stopping by today to see my stamping projects!  I hope you got a little inspiration.

Love,
