Sunflower Love & Courage Making a Difference card tutorial

For my project today, I wanted to make a card using the Love & Courage stamp set and pair it with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder.  I used an ink blending technique to ink my focal background.  The sentiment uses a colored ink embossing powder technique.  I hope you are inspired to make some cards of encouragement for those in your life that are fighting the battle, not just breast cancer, with any cancer.  Change up the colors to suit your needs.  This is an important fight and most of know someone who is currently struggling with it or has fought the fight already.  $3 of every stamp set purchased in my Stampin' Up! online store goes to a Breast Cancer organization.  

To see how I've put this card together and learn the techniques I've used, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.  You can make several of these in whatever color you choose and donate to a cancer center.  They'll get into the hands of those who could use some encouragement and you get the joy of stamping and giving.

Lights of Aurora Scenic Adventure card

Oh my gosh!  How I do love the new 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper stack, Lights of Aurora.  It was introduced on September 3 along with a suite of products.  I decided to purchase only the gems and DSP from the suite and combine it with the Scenic Adventure bundle as I thought I would get more use from both pieces of the bundle.  I love how this card turned out and just how easy it was.  A few die cuts, the dsp, a stamped sentiment and what a beautiful card you have.  It would work for either feminine or masculine and most any occasion.  To see how I've put my card together, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.

Sunflower Love & Courage friend card

My card today is very near and dear to my heart.  I've used the Making a Difference stamp set for 2025, Love & Courage, to make this card for my friend.  Although, mine is specifically pink, this set can be used for any type of cancer and made into any of the colors that represent the different cancers.  I think it's a must have in your collection.  Who doesn't know someone who is or has fought the battle?  Sometimes a little encouragement is all it takes to make someone's day when they aren't feeling great.  You can watch the video tutorial on how I've put my card together over on my YouTube channel.

Inspirational Squad I believe in you dragon card

Hello everyone!  A lot has happened since the last post.  Stampin' Up! has begun a month-long sale for the 2025-2027 In Colors.  Head on over to my online store to see what products are included in the sale.  There are many you might not think of including some Paper Pumpkin refill kits!  You will find the direct link to that page here: 2025-2027 In Color Sale.  In addition, new products and additional discounts have been added to the Last Chance category in my online store.  You can find those items here: Last Chance

Now that we have all that completed, let's get on to our project for today.  I recently obtained the Inspiration Squad stamp set (of course, it's now on Last Chance at a discount for you!) and had to use it before it's no longer available.  I recently read the Empyrean book series and the little dragon in this set reminds me of the dragon from the books.  I imagined the little dragon in front of an arched stone wall surrounded by flowers.  This card is the end result and I do love how it turned out, don't you?

Rustic Centerpiece Sunflower card

 Today I thought I’d color the sunflower image from the Rustic Centerpiece stamp set recently released by Stampin’ Up!®️. This particular image is the one that drew me to the stamp set, although it has great versatility for all occasions using the separate images in the set.  There are no sentiments included in this one so I pulled in More Messages.  To watch the video tutorial for this card, head on over to my YouTube channel.  Please be forewarned that my internet cut out as I was showing the stamping and embossing of the sentiment; however, I had completed the card (other than the sentiment). I’m terribly sorry about that.

Double Fold Over Flap Box Floral Tags to Go

I'm back today with yet another of the double fold flap boxes.  This is another sized version of the previous ones I've shared.  I made this one to fit a gift for my craft girlfriends who I'll be meeting with on Saturday this week.  I like how quick and easy these boxes go together with minimal cutting.  While I made a video using this, I showed how it fit Hersheys®️ Kisses rather than the actual gift I created it to fit.  Be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel to see how it's put together along with some tips and tricks.

Mixed Media meets Fright Night mash up card

 I've made another card mashing up bundles from the Online Exclusives.  For this card I wanted to show that Fright Night is not just for Halloween.  It can make some beautiful cards that have nothing to do with Halloween at all.  I hope you like it and are inspired to give it a try.  To watch the video tutorial on how to put this card together, be sure to head on over to my YouTube channel.

I hope you have enjoyed today's card.  I had so much fun using the Fright Night bundle for uses other than Halloween and seeing how it all pulled together into this beautiful card.  The tags in the dies are very useful for any purpose.  Next up is to make a treat box using them!  

Until next time; be happy, good health to you and happy stamping!
