Free Card Tutorial: Dandelion Thanks

stampininthesandLeave a comment
Dandelion Thanks with Dandelion Wishes and Ornate Thanks

Hello! How are we all doing today? Had enough of this Social Distancing yet? I know I have! I miss my husband, I miss my friends, I miss shopping without terror and not having to sanitize my groceries! Is it a crazy time right now or what?

I am grateful for my dogs and my stamping! #savingoursanitythroughstamping is my new motto!

Today’s card is my version of a card shared on one of our Demonstrator sites. I want to give credit where credit is due but, I can’t find the original! Ugh. I created this from memory but I remember that her card used different colors and different stamping. Lately, I find myself up until past midnight, too many nights… scrolling Pinterest, Facebook Groups, YouTube… what about you?

I have put together a Free Tutorial for my card. You can Download it here:https://bit.ly/3eob8lJ

Card: Ornate Garden Fancy Fold

stampininthesandLeave a comment

We had our virtual Team Meeting yesterday and this card (or close to it) was presented.

I started creating it the second the meeting ended, LOL

Of course, it’s a CASE (originally created by Ruth Norton) but I put my own spin on it. I added the detailed frame around the greeting and the strip of Terracotta Tile Card Stock. I always have to put a bit of “Me” into my cards 😉

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!

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:

Project Supply List:

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.

With each $50 you spend (before tax), I will send you a Free Gift Package of some of my beloved (retired) goodies. Gifts of DSP, Ribbon, Stamp Sets, Embellishments and more. All nicely packaged with a card and gift tag, just for you.  How much is in your mystery box will increase with each $50 you spend:
**$50+ earns a Free DSP sampler pack
**$100+ earns a Free DSP sampler pack and a spool of coordinating ribbon
**$150+ will receive a Stamp Set, DSP sampler pack, and bolt of ribbon (a minimum value of $25)

Happy Stamping!

Gold Thank You Card With The Christmas Rose Stamp Set

stampininthesandLeave a comment

I can’t believe I was going to “take a pass” on this bundle!

It will last far beyond Christmas and I think everyone should own it! Imagine the possibilities!

This card is super simple to create yet has a definite WOW factor!

My rose was stamped in Versamark and then heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. I stamped my greeting (from a retired set but a multitude of greetings would work here) in Versamark and heat embossed that in gold as well. Gold Foil, a few Gold Glitter Enamel Dots, and the luscious Gold Shimmer Ribbon keep the card simple yet elegant.

I repeated the stamping/gold embossing on a Whisper White insert and on the envelope as well. Using the Stamparatus and a template meant I had perfect placement on all 3 elements: the card front, insert, and envelope.

To create this card, I’ve got all of your supplies listed below.

Use my current Hostess Code: 9RRB3HMJ to receive my variety pack of November Make & Takes* for Free.  *Make and takes will require the Day Of Thanks stamp set to complete 

Happy Stamping!
