Alphabest Bundle Gift Card holder

Stampin Up has a cute little alphabet stamp set with a coordinating punch called Alphabest.  It is a simple way to personalize cards.   I have a senior this year, so I wanted to get a jump start on graduation cards.  

I am loving our Kraft Cards and envelopes so I used those for both cards.  This first card I used our 2021-2023 In Color Designer Series paper.  

The front is 3" x 4 1/2".  

I put a piece on the inside to hold a gift card or cash.  That piece s 3" x 3"

This is the second card I made using Alphabest and our Kraft Notecards and envelopes.  I used some strips of card stock on the right side, and then punched the numbers out and adhered them to the tiny Night of Navy strip.   For the Congratulations on both cards, I used Charming Sentiments Stamp set.  

 

To see how quick and easy these are to make, I made a video.

Adorable Owls Valentine

One of the Sale A Bration options with a $50 order is Adorable Owls.  Who knew how cute owls could be!   I decided to use it for a Valentine card using the greeting Hoot Hoot Your so cute. 

 

When I cut the 6x6 designer series paper, I first cut 3/4" off leaving 5 1/4 x 6,  I then cut it in 1/2 so I had 2 3 x 5 1/4 pieces.  I used the Simply Scored to score it at 2 1/2 and folded back the flap and adhered it.  This allows you to see both sides of the Designer Series Paper. Save the little 3/4" strip.  I adhered it to the envelope.  This dresses up the envelope. 

 

I made a video showing how to make this card. 

 

The Dimesions are:

5 1/2 x 8 1/2" White Card Base

5 1/4 x 3" DSP

3x4" Tahitian Tide

3 1/4 x 4 1/4" Starry Sky

 

Here are the items I used to make the card.

Framed Florets Birthday Card

Stampin Up released a new suite called Fitting Florets.  This is the first card I made using the bundle.

I used Thick Vanilla card stock for the card base and used Vanilla card stock for the rest.  

I embossed the first layer using Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder to add some texture.

I used scraps to stamp the flowers and die cut them along with the frame.

I like to stamp the oval before adhering it to the card in case I don't like how it looks, then I can flip it over and stamp again.

To color, Stampin Blends are my go to.  They are so nice to work with.  

After adhering the pieces to the card, finish by adding 2-3 Gold adhesive backed swirls.  

 

This card design would work great for a wedding, anniversary, thinking of you....

Hippest Hippos with Dots and Spots

Who would of thought I would have a Hippo stamp set!  I waited to get Hippest Hippos, but once I started seeing some card ideas, I added it to my order. I decided it needed our bright In Colors since it is just a fun image.  

The last few cards I have made are pretty bright.  I can't stop using our new in colors!  

To make this card I used our Dots and Spots die on Orchid Oasis.  I ran a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" piece through the Stampin Cut and Emboss machine, and then cut that in 1/2 so it is 4 1/4 x 2 3/4".

I stamped on the die cut circle and the colored in using our Stampin Blends.  

I embossed the Sweet Sorbet piece using our Gingham embossing folder to add some texture.

The greeting was stamped on a piece that was punched using Banners pick a punch.  This punch is quite versatile.  You have 2 banner options, and each banner has 3 sizes.  I used the 3/4" size for this card.  

Hippest Hippos is only available while supplies last or the end of this month.  It is free with a $50 order.  The Dots and Spots die is in our catalog, but it was also added as a free option in August with a $100 order.  How awesome is that!  You can see another card I made using the Dots and Spots die here: https://www.stampingwithkristen.com/2022/08/spots-and-dots-card.html

Dots and Spots Card

Have you seen our Dots and Spots die?  Stampin Up just added it as a free option for a $100 order for August, the final month of Sale A Bration!  I paired the die with our new In Colors in the card below.  I love how bright and vibrant they are!

This card just made me smile when I was done creating it because I just love how fun the die cut dots are with the bright colors.  They really "pop" with the Black behind it.  

I used Celebrate You Stamp set for my greeting. It is a great set with a good variety of greetings.  I like all the different fonts used in the set. I added a few of our In Color Matte Decorative Dots to the greeting to add some color.  

Below is a video I made a video showing how I made this card.

Designer Series Paper Card

My favorite Hostess item from our catalog is Pattern Paper.  You get 48 12x12 designer series paper for $18 when you have $150 in orders.  This is a fantastic deal, and I really like these papers!

The catalog is almost over, so I wanted to show a way to use up some of your designer series paper.  

Cut your designer series paper 4" x 12"  that way you get 3 cards for each designer series paper.  

Score at 1" and 6 1/2"

Cut a coordinating colored piece of card stock 3/4" x 4" to adhere where you fold back the 1" flap.  I chose black for these cards.  

 

I put a white piece on the inside that is 5 1/4" x 3 3/4" to write on.

 

I made a video showing this card.  

 

 

Biggest Wish is a fun greeting set.  I like using 2 different colors for the different sized greetings.   The Tasteful Labels Dies are being discontinued at the end of the month, but may sell out before them.  They are my favorite dies! Don't miss out on your chance to get them!
