Stamping With Kristen

Seaside Bay Thank you

I have been having so much fun creating cards for my Stamps In the Mail using Seaside Bay bundle. For this card I used Seashells 3d Embossing Folder.I used Early Espresso, Pool Party and Crumb Cake ink.

I made a video showing this card and how to give a punch a border. 

 

You can see another time I split the punch here: https://www.stampingwithkristen.com/2022/01/index.html

Here is what I used to create this card.

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.

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!

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?

Merry Christmas! My Christmas Card

Merry Christmas!  I hope you are having a wonderful day celebrating the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ.   This is the card I created for this year.  

 

I love Christmas Carols, so when I saw the embossing folder in our mini catalog, I had to get it.  It goes perfectly with the For Unto Us stamp set.  

I make 270 cards and the Take Your Pick tool makes adding rhinestones so easy!  Here is a quick video that shows how quickly you can put 5 rhinestones on your card.  

 

These are the products I used to make this card.  Some of them are retiring soon, so if you like them order as soon as possible.  If you click on the image it should take you to my online store.

Envelope Gift Card

I like to give gift cards at Christmas.  This gift card holder is a nice quick one that you make out of an envelope!

To make this start with a medium envelope and fold in 1/2.  

Open it and cut the flap up the middle.

Cut off the right flap.

Seal the left Flap.

Cut 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper 4 1/8 x 2 5/8.

Cut a coordinating color of card stock 4 1/8 x 2 5/8.

Adhere one piece of designer series paper to the front, and the other to the inside on the left.

Stamp the greeting you want on the right side, and choose how you want to decorate the front and left side.

Adhere a gift card to the colored piece of card stock and insert in the open right side.  

Tie ribbon around the closed envelope and add embellishments on top.

 

I made a video to show how quick and easy these are.  

 

 

These are the products I used to make this gift card holder.
