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.

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.

Cutest Cow Tales fold over flap box

 Hello and happy Sunday.  I hope everyone had a great week.  Today, I'm using the Cutest Cows stamp and punch to decorate a fold over flap box I designed to fit 3-4 Cow Tale Minis.  I get mine at my local Dollar Tree but you can find them online.  I think they will also fit Merci chocolates, although, I didn't have any on hand to experiment with. The finished box size is 2 3/4" x 4" x 3/4", any treat that is narrow and shorter than 4" in height should work. If you give this box a try, be sure to share with us over on Facebook in the Group Social.  Also, we would love to know what you found to fit in yours.  You will find the link here: KnT Designs Stampers Group.

Shepherd's Care Peace on Earth sentiment card with a twist

 Hello everyone.  This week I am not featuring any specific product.  I've been in a bit of a creative slump, so I'm just going where my creativity takes me with whatever products I happen to be inspired by.  Today's card features Shepherd's Care from the SD 2024 mini catalog by Stampin' Up!

For my card, I wanted the Shepherd's stamp to be the star of the show.  I also wanted to make a card that I could quickly and easily duplicate.  Of course, the quick and simple never seems to be quite within my grasp....I just can't stop and so the sentiment label came about here.  I didn't want to alter to the label die cut to fit my sentiment and when I put it on the card, the idea came to me to stamp a partial image to the left of the sentiment so it would look as if it's part of the scene.  I hope you like this technique as I'll probably be using it more often.  

To see how I made this card and the special way I did the sentiment label to blend in with the scene, be sure to watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.

Supplies and Measurements:

Shepherd's Care stamp set 164300

Frosted Forest Masculine Thinking of You/Birthday card

 Hello everyone! I hope you had a fabulous weekend.  For the kids here in Sheridan, this is the last week of summer vacation.  I plan to soak up the most of it with our grandkids and spend some time at the beach this week.  The weather is supposed to be nice, but often when it's nice here at home, it's not so nice at the beach.  Hopefully, we'll have good enough weather to play in the sand. 

Now onto my card for today.  I made the original card you see here for my husband for our 44th wedding anniversary last Friday.  When I made the card during my YouTube live, I switched out the inside sentiment for a birthday card.  Either way, the design works well without changing the sentiment on the front.  I do love how it turned out.  You can watch the YouTube replay to see how I put the card together.

Layers of Beauty Grateful For You

 For my final project this week using the Layers of Beauty bundle by Stampin' Up!, I've created this Grateful for You card.  It's a pretty simple layout meant to focus entirely on the images in the stamp set and how quickly and easily you can color them with the decorative masks included in the bundle.  I've also provided some tips and tricks on how to quickly color a single rose right alongside the large focal image.  Be sure to watch the video replay over on YouTube.

Layers of Beauty rose bouquet card

Layers of Beauty is the featured bundle this week.  Stampin' Up! just happens to have a sale going this month for all their stamp & die bundles.  Be sure to check out the sale here: https://www.stampinup.com/categories/shop-products/featured-products/bundled-savings/stamp-die-bundles?demoid=2109129

I have some tips and tricks to make the layering stencils super easy for you.  For this card I focused on the single rose which can be cut from the large rose bouquet.  It’s one of the neatest things about this bundle, the ability to take just one rose instead of using the entire image.  It definitely has a lot more versatility because of it.  Be sure to watch the video replay to see my easy tips and tricks.  You’ll find the replay on YouTube here.

Loveliest Tree Father's Day card

I am a sucker for a good tree bundle and this one is no exception for me.  I do love how you can easily pair it with other stamp sets you may have on hand to bring in a whole new feel to your card.  I do love how this one turned out and with the fishing image from Beside Me, it's perfect for a Father's Day card or even a birthday card.
