Turtle-y Grateful For You all year

For my card today, I've made a card that is both quick and easy.  It has very little stamping and uses mostly Designer Series Paper for the decorations.  When I was making it, I was thinking that it could be a Father's Day card, but for those who don't have father's, it could be for any BBQ chef in your life.  To see how easy it is to put together, be sure to watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel. 

Measurements and Supplies: 

Textured Notes dies 165555

Turtle-y Awesome June birthday card

This week I am playing with the Turtle-y Cute suite of products.  I didn't want to make just any birthday card though, I wanted to make it specific to the recipient because that makes it more personal.  So, what better bundle to use than Year of Flowers?  I found the flowers in the stamp set to coordinate perfectly with the turtles as if they were meant to be.  To see how I've put this card together, be sure to head on over to my YouTube channel where you can watch the video replay.

Cutest Cows meets Impressions Abloom in a cookie box

 I have a treat box today which uses new product, Impressions Abloom, and mixes with older product, Cutest Cows, (currently in the last chance category in my online store and discounted.)   I had purchased a large box of limited-edition Keebler®️ butterbeer flavored mini cookies.  I finally got around to making a box for them.  I had a hard time because of the Harry Potter theme and not having any supplies for that.  So I had this great idea last night (at least I thought it was) to combine the Impressions Abloom flowers with the milk can and cow as butter is made from milk products and butter is used in the making of butterscotch.  I know, its a stretch but it did turn out pretty cute don't you think?  You can watch the video tutorial on making this box over on my YouTube channel.

Sending good vibes two-tone floral card

 For my card today, I've focused on using the new two-tone cardstock that Stampin' Up! has recently released in all our colors.  I thought I'd give it a try and show my customers how it looks and what you can do with it.  I do love the options for two colors of cardstock from the same sheet of paper.  On my card today, I've used the Petunia Pop & Old Olive two-tone.  Because the two-tone cardstock has a white core (as compared to our dyed-through 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock) you can do some fun techniques with it.  Be sure to watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.
