How To: Fun Fold using the Stampin Up Birthday Cheer bundle

I love the colors of this fun fold birthday card. The various shades of coastal cabana and lovely lipstick, create kind of an ombre stripe on the front of this card.

I used the "Marbled" background stamp on this inside of this card. I think this background goes quite well with anything I pair it with!

The fold on this card is a simple z fold. Fold the whisper white 4 1/4 x 11 piece in half. Then fold the front flap back to meet the original fold. Thats it. I added a piece of 4 1/4 x 31/4 coastal cabana cardstock to the front of the folded back flap. Be sure not to add adhesive to the right side of the coastal cabana piece.

The die cut gifts are cut from a piece of 4 x 3 whisper white. I love the look of these gifts against the "How Sweet it Is" designer paper. I also stamped the flap of the card with in coastal cabana, using a stars and dots stamp from the Birthday Cheer stamp set.

The greetings are stamped in basic black ink and the greeting on the front is punched out with the Classic Label punch.

I added a few sparkling, self adhesive, Twinkle, sequin stars to the front to make it shine. The Coastal Cabana/Granny Apple Green satin ribbon is a 4" piece tied in a knot and attached with a glue dot.

Isn't it just so fun?

The Birthday Cheer Bundle is running low on the supply list. So, if you don't have this set, be sure to get it now, before its gone for good!

Card Idea for Fathers Day

The Geared Up Garage bundle is a perfect set for some of the men in my family. Its especially great for my dad. I made him this Fathers Day card using this set, because he's always been a "car" guy. Plus, he raced cars for 50 + years of his life!

I'm not sure if this is a Chevy or not, but I know that my dad owned a 57 Chevy when he was a teenager. I figured, it was close enough- its an antique "classic" either way, and I'm sure he will love it.

All the cool accesories, like the Classic Garage wrench and key elements, will sure to make my dad smile. I attached them with glue dots and also used the Black/Silver ribbon to play off the shine of the embellishments.

Instead of die cutting with the Garage Gears thinlits, I used them to"emboss" with. I did this by using the Big Shot Emboss Mats. It lets me emboss any die cut image instead of "cutting" it.

Pretty cool, huh?

I'm excited to give this card to my dad for Father's Day... unless I decide I can't wait, and give it to him for his birthday...

Thanks for checking in today.

Until the next time...

Stampin Up Birthday Cheer Bundle

How about a gender neutral birthday card thats fun for all ages? This is pretty much a monochromatic card, because it uses only one color in addition to white, gray and black.

The framelits that coordinate with the Birthday Cheer stamp set, are the bomb dot com. All I did was cut them from a piece of basic black cardstock and placed it over the lemon lime twist cardstock. So simple but such a "wow."

I'm so happy that the black glitter ribbon has carried over from the holiday catalog. Its one of my favorites. I paired it with the granny apple green ribbon as well.

The Stitched Rectangle Framelits are also new in the Stampin Up Catalog. So happy to have rectangle framelits now! I've added a few stars to give the card a little shine.

Can you think of anyone who would love a birthday card like this? I sure can!

Stampin Up All That You Are stamp set

Another great floral stamp set that's an easy to color image. I love that its big and bold and simple to add beautiful color with the Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. Can you tell that I'm ready for Spring?

The colors on this birthday greeting are daffodil delight and granny apple green, with a bit of pumpkin pie in the middle of the flower.

I always start with the lightest Stampin Blends color and shade with the darker color. So in this case I used the light daffodil delight and then shaded with the dark daffodil delight- I did the same with the granny apple green.

Of course, I always love to use pretty ribbon on my cards and for this card, I also used the Trio Punch to decorate the corner. Such a pretty addition.

How To: Easy Fold with Amazing Life stamps

I've got 3 cards with the same fold and same stamp set to show you today. I decided to use bright and fun greens, night of navy and pineapple punch colors for these Amazing Life greeting cards.

The first card is a wish for good luck- with St. Patricks day right around the corner, I thought it was appropriate.

The fold is very simple: fold a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" granny apple green cardstock in half... then fold the front flap up to meet the fold. Thats it!

Each card features a "Happiness Blooms" Enamel dot. Can you spot all 3? I also used the "Happiness Blooms designer paper on all of the cards as well.

This birthday card also features the new Stitched Rectangle dies as does the other two cards. The dies add just the right amount of texture.

All 3 cards are also colored with the night of navy, pineapple punch, granny apple green and call me clover Stampin Blends alcohol markers.

This card is the same size as the others and its also folded in the same way, except its vertical instead of horizontal.

Are you liking all the green? Well, it is almost St. Patty's day.. right?

I hope you like this stamp set, it really is a great versatile set for many fun occasions.

I glad you stopped by!

Until the next time...

Vrooom... Geared Up Garage for the Manly Man

We all need masculine cards and usually its more difficult to design cards for men. However, Stampin Up has the perfect solution. The Geared Up Garage bundle is the perfect set for the manly man in your life.

The Classic Garage designer paper is the best! So many cool designs for the classic revved up greeting card.

I used the Garage Gears dies all over this card. The larger gears on the basic gray circle are embossed instead of die cut. I used the Big Shot Emboss Pads to emboss instead of cut. I'm loving the little wrench. The Classic Garage Metal Elements come with both wrenches and keys. Totally cool.

Any guy would love to receive this card for a birthday or fathers day or any celebration.

Thank you for visiting.

Until the next time...
