Berry Blessings Blueberry Card

I love love love our Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper that comes free with the Berry Blessings Stamp set right now with a $100 order.  Every sheet is so pretty!  I love the blueberry image so I designed this card.  

I used my favorite dies, Tasteful Labels dies.  They come in handy for so many cards!

10th Anniversary Card

I recently made a card for one of my demonstrators who is celebrating her 10th Stampin Up Anniversary.  10 years ago at Stampin Up's Leadership conference, they gave us all a free starter kit to give to one person who we thought would like to start a business.  I chose Sue, a longtime customer.  I have always been curious how many of those who were given a free kit are still a demonstrator 10 years later.  Sue has done a great job running her business and it has been fun to watch it grow!  

I made this card for her using items from the Art Gallery Suite, Tasteful Labels Dies and our pearl jewels.  

Isn't this designer series paper beautiful!  I love every piece in this pack. 

I made a video to show how I put on the pearls. The Take Your Pick tool really helps pick up the pearls and to place them just where you want them.

 

 

The Card Base is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2"

Merry Merlot 5 3/8 X 4 1/8

Designer Series Paper 5 1/4 X 4

 

You could use this same layout and replace the number with a greeting.

7th birthday card

Today we celebrated my niece's 7th birthday.  I made her this card using our Oh So Ombre designer series paper stack that is free with a $50 order through the end of February.

I used my very favorite die set, Tasteful Labels Dies.  It is so versatile, I use it all the time. I the used my Take Your Pick tool to pick up the pearls from the sheet the come on and put them in place to create a 7.  It would have been much harder to make the straight lines with out the Take Your Pick tool.  It has a little putty on the end of it that helps the pearl stick to it, and it easily comes off when you put the pearl in place.

I used Dimensionals to pop up the Label so it stands out a little more.

Many Messages Stampin Up Bundle

As a demonstrator we get to pre order new items from the next catalog early.  It is an awesome perk!  Many Messages intrigued me as it was one jumbo stamp with many greetings and then one jumbo die that cut all the greetings out.  

I decided to give it a try so I could honestly tell others if it is worth getting or not. I made this video to show you easy it is to put greetings on many cards. Check out the video to see the actual stamp and the large die.  

 

I used Stampin' Ups Peony Garden Designer Series Paper to make the following quick cards.  

Here are the cards I made.

You can begin ordering the Many Messages on January 4th.  

Happy Stamping!

Curvy Daisy Card

Stampin' Up released a new bundle called Quite Curvy. They aslo have a coordinating Christmas set too. I designed this card to show how quick and easy it is.

I used Flowers For Every Season designer series paper and our Medium Daisy punch to dress it up. I punched 2 daisies and positioned them so you see all the petals. I used my Daffodil Delight Stampin Blends to color in the center of the flower. After I die cut the curve in the card, I stamped the greeting just above it.

I really like the detail of how it is pierced along the edge.

This shows the inside of the card.

Ridiculously Awesome Card

Do you have someone you need to make a card for that is Ridiculously Awesome?  I made this card from some Ridiculously Awesome Demonstrators who had a great stamping year. 

If you look at the Stamp Set I used below, the greeting is actually Make Today Ridiculously Awesome.  I didn't want it to say "Make Today," so I used a post it note on that part while inking the stamp, and then took it off before stamping on my white piece.  

 

For the Designer Series piece, I cut it 3 1/2" X 4"

I am really liking Tasteful Labels dies.  They are so versatile.  You can use them for so many greetings or images.

In Good Taste Designer Series Paper Card

Today is my dad's birthday!  I made him this card:

I just love the Designer Series Paper Pack called In Good Taste.  I wanted to design a card where it shows off the great designs in it. 

I cut 1 1/4 inch strips cutting just slightly before the 1 1/4 line.  This gives a tiny bit of extra space.  

I then took the squares and arranged them on the Early Espresso piece until I am satisfied with the arrangement.  I then adhere them to the card.  

Next I wrapped the braided trim around the Early Espresso piece twice.  

Stamp any greeting on a Crumb Cake scrap and punch out.  Use a scrap of Early Espresso and punch using the Timeless Label punch to mount the greeting on.  I used a dimensional to adhere the greeting to the card.  

 

To make this card I used the following dimensions:

Crumb Cake 5 1/2 x 11

Early Espresso 4 x 5 1/4

Designer Series Paper Pieces 1 1/4" square.  (It is a little easier to assemble if you do a hair less than 1 1/4")

These are the products used.
