Showing posts with label Birthday

Griffin's birthday is coming up really soon! He turns 11 on May 1 and he is the best dog ever! Since his birthday is the next one in the family it was the best opportunity to create a layout to not only be ready to print the photos and add them with some journaling but to use new products! The Bright & Beautiful 6" x 6" designer series paper has some fun designs and contains 10 of the 11 new core colours. The stripe band was created using two pieces of the designer series paper and the two smaller photo layers are from the same pack. The larger photo layer is Blueberry Bushel cardstock. This layout is one of my 3 Fun Scrapbook Sketches and you can receive them here: http://Subscribe.FromWhereIStamp.ca

Are you someone who uses a planner? Or are you like me and use an app for that? I was intrigued when I saw the Making Plans Collection on page 19 of the Sale-A-Bration catalogue. During the demonstrator preorder in June, one of my favourite reasons to be a demonstrator, I was able to add the planner to my order so that I could play with all the pieces to share ideas on how you can use it! In this blog post I'll share 3 ideas of what to do with the Making Plans Collection and how you can receive it for free.
Would you like to have 8 birthday cards on hand ready to send or hand deliver? Create birthday cards with the Light the Candles card kit! It includes everything you need, including the clear block and ink spot. 
A great person should receive a puny card on their birthday, right? Along with this fun colour combo of Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide and Mango Melody it's a fun way to send birthday wishes. The He's All That stamp set and All That dies paired with the Hive 3D embossing folder were used to create this card. And if you scroll down you'll find a list of products with links to my online store to purchase. I'm loving the All That dies for the label and the flags dies, there are many uses for these dies not just to coordinate with the stamp set but they will work with many other stamp sets as well. 
Stampin' Up!'s He's The Man Suite is full of fun pattern paper, dies and stamps with great sayings on them! While this suite says "he" you could definitely use it for anyone. This card doesn't have to be for the guy in your life as the sentiment reads "ever day with you is another adventure". My head is full of ideas for scrapbook pages of travels with my dog, my mom and my husband. Can you think of someone that sentiment would be a great fit?
Ever looked at the designs in a pack of designer series paper and knew you could create a beautiful bouquet? It's one of the reasons I purchased the Hues of Happiness designer series paper (DSP). Another was the backside of the DSP sheets. The rainbow and colourful designs are very pretty. And it has one of my favourite purples in it, Gorgeous Grape! Figured that if I didn't want to use many of the flowers I could at least use the opposite side for my projects. 
Are you dreaming about summer weather? Today was absolutely gorgeous near Kingston, Ontario. High of 17 degrees Celsius and we had the windows open. Even had our 1st campfire tonight before I watched the season finale of Outlander. Summer vibes was why I purchased the Kite Delight stamp set. This stamp set makes me think of green open fields, bright blue skies and white puffy clouds. A perfect summer day! 
I love when there are pre-designed embellishments that can be popped out and glued to my project using Mini Glue Dots or my favourite adhesive, the Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The Abstract Beauty Suite includes a Ephemera Pack. 

The Abstract Beauty Suite is great for new and experienced stampers. Especially since it includes a cards & envelopes pack that includes 10 pre-printed cards and 10 envelopes that have pretty designs on the inside of them. You could cut apart the envelopes and use the designs on your cards instead of sheets from the Abstract Beauty designer series paper.
Have you tried stamping onto designer series paper? For this card you need one suite of products to create this card. Stampin' Up!'s Abstract Beauty Suite is fun and abstract-y. I know, not a word but it sounded good in my head. I'll just go with it. To create this card you could use the normal sized card base, which is half a sheet of cardstock but included in the Abstract Beauty Suite are the Abstract Beauty Cards & Envelopes. If you watch this Instagram Reel you can see that I started with one of the cards that has a black watercolour wash on it. For any of the cards you can either cover it up with pretty designer series paper (DSP) or add stamped image, pieces of DSP or die cut images.
Do you want to create a fun and quick card? Use the Lighthearted Lines stamp set, especially use the saying "Don't grow up. (It's a trap)" to make the receiver smile and pair it with your favourite designer series paper (DSP). 
Does this card make you think of Neapolitan Ice Cream? I can't have Neapolitan Ice Cream because one layer is strawberry and I'm allergic to strawberries! But that's ok, I love chocolate ice cream instead. What colours of ice cream would you make for the 3 scoops on this cone? You could even have sprinkles. 
Have you ever bought a stamp set and die bundle thinking you would use it so much but then it sits there hardly used? I bought Stampin' Up!'s What's Cookin' bundle to spruce up my cook's organizer. Think only half a page was created <- click the link to see the page! lol 
To show off this Awesome Otter I went digging through my designer series paper looking for something that would inspire a card. I keep my DSP in big zipper bags in a drawer. Pretty sure I pulled out all the packs I have and didn't like any that I saw! Have you been that way? Went looking for something but then nothing works for what you imagined or wanted? No? Just me? Then I remembered the Stampin' Up! order that arrived last week with the Abstract Beauty 4" x 6" designer series paper
What do you think of the bright pink and mango with the softer blues and greens on this card? It makes me think of a stormy day then the sun pops out from behind the thundering clouds, creating a beautiful rainbow overhead. The blue clouds aren't stamped but found in the Sunshine & Rainbows designer series paper. And you can punch the clouds out using the Cloud Punch.
The New Horizon designer series paper (DSP) is one of my favourite packs of paper right now. My second favourite is the Sunshine & Rainbows designer series paper! Do you have a favourite pack? 

The designs in the New Horizon DSP are of gorgeous sunset or sunrise landscape scenes. But on the opposite side or back side of the landscape designs are watercolour wash designs that look like water or clouds or fog. It was perfect to use for this card to make it look like the background is water. The otter can float along holding the cute little fish.
Although Christmas is over you likely, as I do, have Christmas designer series paper leftover. What to do with the pretty paper? A few ideas: 
  • Create a few more Christmas cards to send. Yes, send cards after Christmas to anyone you missed! They will enjoy receiving them.
  • Make a project or cards to use next year. 
  • If you didn't finish that home décor piece before the holidays? Complete it now so it's ready for next year!
  • Use the designer series paper and photos that you took or that were shared with you and create scrapbook layouts. Make sure to send the photos off to be printed.
  • Some designs can be used to create thank you or birthday cards!

Welcome to December's Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop! Today we are sharing projects using colours from the Regals Collection. You might see 1 colour from the collection or multiples used together.
Do you have old pictures of yourself as a child? Maybe I shouldn't say old? Hope that doesn't make me sound ancient. I love looking back at photos. Especially albums that my mom has and I have been slowly creating scrapbook layouts of pictures from my childhood so that I have my own copies of them.

Biggest Wish Handmade Cards

November 02, 2021 in ,
Stampin' Up!'s Biggest Wish stamp set is one of my favourite sets, especially for creating cards and is a great stamp set to add to a beginner's and an avid crafter's collection. With the 2 different fonts you can mix and match the words together or use one word by itself. 
Have you ever received an interactive card for your birthday? Stampin' Up!'s Sheep stamp set and dies make this card  Turning the wheel to get the sheep to "jump" over the fence will bring a smile to your face. I shared how to create this card at this month's team meeting on Zoom.
