Stamping With Kristen

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.

Sending Smiles In Colors Card

I bought the Tea Boutique cards and envelopes at the beginning of the catalog last year and I never used them!  I figure I better use them before the new catalog comes out.  They are $10 for 20 cards and envelopes.  This is a fantastic deal, but it gets even better.  On 4/4 it will be 60% off, just $4 for 20 cards and envelopes!  I love the print on the cards and envelopes.  Use this link on April 4th or after until they are gone or 5/1/23. https://www.stampinup.com/products/tea-boutique-cards-envelopes?demoid=7320

 

During March Madness, our family watches a lot of basketball.  While it was on, I stamped a bunch of flowers from Sending Smiles.  By die cutting all of these, I am all set to make some quick bright and colorful cards.

 

I paired my die cut flowers with the Tea Boutique Cards and Envelopes.  I really like how bright and fun these turned out!

 

Next I made some using Parakeet Party and Sweet Sorbet card bases.  Which color is your favorite?

I made this video showing how to make this card.

Basics 3D Embossing Folders Card

Stampin Up has just introduced Online Exclusives.  They are items that are not tied to a catalog and are available online.  I got the Basic 3-D embossing Folders right away. It is a pack of 3 embossing folders for $30.  I designed this card so you can see all 3 embossed designs on one card. 

I cut the strips 4" x 1 5/8" This gives white space between them. If you do 1 3/4" you don't see much white in between the colors. 

To see the embossing folders online click here: https://www.stampinup.com/products/basics-3d-embossing-folders?demoid=7320

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!

Amazing Silhouettes card

I received Amazing Silhouettes as a gift from Stampin Up.  I didn't use it for awhile, and I am glad I finally opened it up!  You can make such nice cards in no time at all! 

 

I really like our Soft Succulent color.  It is part of the 2021-2023 In Colors.  I was glad to see they are keeping the In Color ribbon in the next catalog too!  

Two of the items on this card are retiring.  Create With Friends, and the Tasteful Textile Embossing folder.  

 

I made a video to show how you can make this card in less than 5 minutes.

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.
