Facebook Live Replay: Rise & Shine With Timeless Tulips Card

stampininthesandLeave a comment

Hello and Happy Saturday!

How are you doing with your Social Distancing? I’m practicing “shelter in place” and going out as little as possible. Best way to prevent coming in contact with the disease is to stay home!

I created these cards during a Facebook Live card class I hosted last night. I think they are perfect for brightening someone’s day. Either as a Thank You card or a Thinking Of You/Birthday/Mother’s Day/Easter card… so many ways a cup of tulips can be shared! You can watch the card class on YouTube Here or on my Facebook Page here. Be sure to follow me so you can see all of my projects. I have a printable supply list to enable you to create this card yourself:

Sale-A-Bration will be over before we know it and, these In-Colors retire the first of June. Make sure you have stocked up on re-inkers and card stock so you can keep playing with these colors.

I admit, I bought this bundle to coincide with my Bag Biz (www.mythirtyone.com/creativelyorganizedwithmarybush) but, the gorgeous florals in the Best Dressed DSP, and the coordinating stamps, have won me over!

You Ain’t Lion – It’s Your Birthday!

Today’s Project Supply List:

A Nice Cuppa Tea Together Cards

stampininthesandLeave a comment

Remember the stamp set “A Nice Cuppa” and it’s coordinating Cups & Kettle Framelits? I took them out yesterday and gave them a modern twist with Purple Posy and the Best Dressed DSP. I told you, these subtle pastel colors are growing on me! I’m going “soft”, LOL.

I then CASE’d myself and created the “Modern” version using the Tea Together stamp set and coordinating Tea Time Dies from the Annual Catalog. Same layout, colors, DSP… just updated. If I were to make these cards again, I would stamp the Tea Together images in Mint Macaron instead of the black. I would also sponge around the edges of the die-cut Cups & Kettles in the first card, with Mint Macaron or Purple Posy, to make them “pop” a little more.

What do you think of these cards?

To create my cards yourself, I have a list of the current products posted for you below. You will receive a Free 4-Card PDF Tutorial, and Personal Thank You Card by mail (offering a 5th Card to re-create at home), with qualifying orders of $50 or more – Plus earn a Free Sale-a-bration exclusive(s) with your order.

I hope you have enjoyed these cards.  

Happy Stamping!

Christmastime Is Here Gift Set

stampininthesandLeave a comment

This stunning gift set was created with the Christmastime Is Here Suite and various other elements. I love how everything came together.

The Gold Mini Pizza Boxes are a gorgeous way to give a little gift – and, they are food safe so you can even gift a delicious treat 😉 I embossed the lid and wrapped it in a beautiful belly band to dress it up even more.

The flowers on the card were fussy-cut from the Christmastime Is Here DSP. And it did not take as much time to do as you would think 😉

To create your own stunning gift set, order your supplies following the link below.

Tomorrow, December 11th, Stampin’ Up! is offering Free Shipping on all orders of $50 or more – giving you more dollars to spend on more items – heck, the flat $6.95 is equivalent to getting your Gold Pizza Boxes or Gold Shimmer Ribbon for FREE. That’s a no-brainer.

Card: Magnolia Lane Birthday

stampininthesandLeave a comment

Today I am sharing a Birthday card I received from my friend and teammate, Tina Wardell. I just love it. And, the only stamping is the Happy Birthday greeting!

That’s right! The gorgeous Magnolias are all snipped from the Magnolia Lane DSP! How cool, and easy, is that?! What a way to stretch out your paper!

I’ve provided a supply list for you below, should you want to create this card yourself. If an item is retired, I’ve posted my suggested alternative should you not already have it. Use Hostess Code: 9RRB3HMJ to receive my variety pack of November Make & Takes for Free.

Thank You Tina for my beautiful card!

Happy Stamping!
