Thinking of You garden bench card

 Hello and welcome back for another Gliding Garden Swing project.  Stampin' Up! issued a clean & simple card challenge for the month of March.  Now, anyone who knows me knows that I have a problem with simple cards....somehow they never stay simple.  It was explained that with this challenge, we should think about having white space, texture and cluster for the focal image.  This is the card I came up.  I think it meets the criteria, do you?  To see how I put this card together, head on over to my YouTube channel for the video tutorial.  You can find it by clicking this link.

Celebrate card with a mash up of bundles by Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome back to my blog.  Today's project is a mash up of some new products by Stampin' Up!  I've taken the Cheers & Sips bundle and added in the Beautiful Motifs bundle to make this card.  Unique and quite striking don't you agree?  I used the drink with the umbrella because it reminded me of a time when my elderly neighbor and friend (more like my adoped grandpa) would make Shirley Temples for my girls and myself on a hot summer day.  He's been gone quite some time now and I miss him every day.   It brings back such wonderful memories and a smile for my heart.  To watch the video tutorial, head on over to my YouTube channel.  I'll teach you how to make it.

Measurements and Supplies:

Cheers & Sips bundle* 165594 (includes stamps and coordinating dies)

I think today's card can be used for so many celebratory occasions.  I will add an appropriate sentiment inside the card once I get ready to send it off.  I hope you will give this a try.  Hopefully, you purchased these bundles last month while they were on sale.  If not, they are still available in my online store.  Click on the shopping cart to purchase all of your Stampin' Up! supplies.  I would love it if I could earn your business.

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

Poppin' in to say hello book fold wreath

 This week I'm featuring one of the Online Exclusives bundles I just had to have as soon as I saw it.  My daughter asked me to make a gift card box for my grandson last Christmas as she was giving him a movie theater gift card.  I didn't have any stamps, so I had to seriously improvise.  This year, I won't have to do that with this set!  It's so cute and fun.  I was inspired during a Stampin' Up! demonstrator event with a wreath card I saw.  While I'm not using the set they showed, I was inspired to make a wreath with the popcorn pieces.  I do love how it turned out.  I don't think I would have thought to make the wreath if I hadn't seen that presentation.  If you would like to see how I put this card together, you can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.

I hope you like this card.  Of course, you could use any stamps you currently have on hand and make this fun fold and a wreath.  It's one of the easiest fun folds and works the best for wreaths as it features  a square card on the right side perfect for showcasing a small wreath.  

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