Black 4 1/8" x 4 1/8"

The card base is 4 1/4 x 11. I scored it at 5 1/2, an then cut 1 1/4" off one end.

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

Picture This Otters

Read to the bottom to see about a giveaway!

I ordered the Picture This dies awhile ago but hadn't opened them until yesterday.  I was inspired by the card in the Sale-A-Bration brochure.  I combined the Awesome Otters stamp set and Simply Marbleous 6x6 Designer Series Paper and the Picture This dies.  

I embossed the Balmy Blue piece using our Bark Embossing Folder.  I then used the Cut and Emboss machine again to die cut the circles from Picture This.  I used the same circles and die cut white circles to stamp on.  

This video shows you how simple this is to make.  

 

 

 

I finished the card by adding a 1/2" strip to the bottom of the inside to add a little color. It is a great way to use scraps!

 

 

In the video I mentioned a giveaway.  Leave a comment below on this card or on my Youtube and your name will be entered in a drawing for our Bark Embossing Folder.

Awesome Otters and Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper

Who would of thought I would ever want an Otter stamp set!  Our Sale-A-Bration brochure has a stamp set titled Awesome Otters.  It is pretty cute!  I wanted to design a card that used the otter set and another Sale-A-Bration item Simply Marbleous 6x6 designer series paper.  

To start I took a piece of the designer series paper (DSP) and cut it to 3" x 4".  

Use a marker to color the water on the stamp.  Stamp it on the bottom left side.  

For the otter I stamped in black on a scrap or Basic White and colored it in with Stampin Blends.  

Cut out the Otter and adhere it on top of the water.  

Adhere to  a 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" piece of basic White.

Tie a ribbon around the left side. 

Stamp greeting on a scrap and punch out.  Punch the outer scalloped piece to layer the greeting. I Used the Double Oval punch https://www.stampinup.com/products/double-oval-punch?demoid=7320

Fold a 11" x 4 1/4" card base in half, and then folded the front flap back.  

Adhere the stamped layered pieces to the part that is folded back.  Only tape down the left side so you don't tape the card together.  

Finish by stamping on the inside on a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of basic white and adhering it to the inside oft he card.  

I made a video showing how to make this card.  I show a sample where I just stamped the image in black on the front, and then colored in the water.  Which do you like best?

Driving By Free Stamp Set!

Sale-A-Bration has begun and there are some great choices for free items!  This card showcases two of the $50 options.  Driving By Stamp Set, and Sunshine and Rainbows designer series paper.

Isn't the Sunshine and Rainbows designer series paper so cute?  I had a lot of 1/2" strips from mailing pieces to my team members, so I took them and trimmed them to 4".  I cut a piece of Basic White to 4" x 3 1/2.   To adhere the strips I put Adhesive down the left, middle and right side of the Basic White piece and then layered the strips on it.  It is so much fast than putting adhesive on each individual strip.  You can watch my video on how I did it.

 

 

Each time I adhered the strips it turned out a little different. Don't throw your scraps and give this look a try!

I stamped the Car on a 2 3/4" x 1 3/4" piece of Basic White.  I used Stampin Blends to color it in.  I wanted to add color behind it, so I punched a Magenta Madness piece using our Label me Lovely punch.  To be able to see more of the punch I cut the punched piece in 1/2 and adhered it to the back of the stamped piece like this:

It is a way to make your punches more versatile. Driving By and Sunshine and Rainbows are free with a $50 purchase during Sale A Bration.  They are just 2 of the $50 options.  We also have 2 $100 options.

Painted Poppies with So Very Vellum

I have been using Painted Poppies stamp set for my stamps in the mail.  I wanted to design a card that also used our new Sale-A-Bration item, So Very Vellum Specialty Designers Series Paper.  It is a pack of embossed vellum in 3 colors.  This is the card I came up with. 

I stamped the image of flowers using our Tuxedo Black Memento Pad, and then used the light Calypso Coral Stampin Blends to color in the flowers.  I added green using the spatter stamp using Soft Sea Foam.  I really like the texture on the vellum.  It is a little thicker and doesn't show the adhesive underneath as much as it does on regular white vellum.  Here is a close up of it.

The So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper is free with a $50 order while supplies last or the end of March which ever comes first.  It is a great time to stock up on adhesives and card stock when you can get a free item!  

The little black scalloped piece is from the coordinating dies, Painted Labels Dies.  This is a great set of dies the can be used for other sets too.  I really like the labels.  Many different greetings fit on them.

Celebrate with Cake

The Happy Birthday To You Sale-A-Bration set has been a popular choice for Sale-A-Braiton.  It is free with a $50 purchase.  Stampin up added coordinating dies called Birthday Dies that ate $27.  I designed this card to show them both off.  

The Parisian Flourish Embossing Folder adds a lot to the card.  I used the dies to cut out the cake, flowers on the cake, and the cake plate.  I fussy cut the Celebrate.  Here is a close up of the flowers.

The Birthday dies are available while supplies last, and the Happy Birthday To You Stamp set is while supplies last as well and only until the end of March.

Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper

I  LOVE our Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper.  It has so many fun colors and both sides are great to work with!

 It is only available while supplies last, or until the end of March for FREE with a $50 order.  

 

With a $100 order you can get the coordinating stamp set and the Painted Seasons Paper free.  

I wanted to design a quick and easy card to show how great this paper is, and this is what I came up with:

I just love the colors!  Poppy Parade was In Color awhile back, and it came back with our color revamp.  Crisp Cantaloupe looks great with it.  I love getting color combinations from our designer series paper packs.  

 

For the Greeting I used a new to me set, Friendly Expressions.  I like the 2 different fonts in it.  It is $19 for the clear mount set.  The greetings are a great size.  

If you are loving Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper like I am, do not wait to order.  I would hate for it to run out before you get your order in!

Grapefruit Grove Foil Card

Have you tried our foil paper?  It looks absolutely stunning run through the big shot with an embossing folder.  I used it with our new Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  

I also used the foil for the scalloped circle.  Right now you can get a pack of Grapefruit Grove & Lovely Lipstick Foil paper Free with a $50 order.  I have been told they believe they will run out of these, so don't wait if it is something you would like.  We also sell a few colors of it in our catalog.

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day!  This year I decided to not buy a Valentine Stamp set as I was thinking I had plenty to use from other years.  I then decided to use Hello Cupcake from our Sale-A-Bration choices as there was a little heart to stick on the cupcake. I also liked the greeting Sprinkled with Love.  This card could be for a birthday too.  When I send cards, I cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of white card stock to write on, and I don't adhere it so then the person can throw that out and reuse the card.  The card itself is a little gift for them!  By just stamping Happy Valentines Day on the insert, this card could be used for other occasions.  

 

The Designer Series Paper I used is also a Sale-A-Bration item, Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper.  This shows the other side of the designer series paper.  

I used Wink of Stella Glitter Brush on the frosting and the heart.  It is a little hard to tell.  It blended in the color of the frosting while adding a little glitter to it.  

Wink of Stella is a great little embellishment that you could add to many different cards.  It is $8.00 and lasts you quite awhile.
