Sending Hugs butterfly flight in pink hot foil

My project today features one of the new hot foil bundles by Stampin' Up!  I LOVE the new hot foil system.  It is incredibly easy to use and the effects are stunning.  For my card today, I've opted to combine some catalog products along with the hot foil bundle.  The actual card doesn't have any stamping, but if you know me at all there is never a naked envelope....and so I brought in some coordinating stamps from the catalog.  You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this direct link.  I hope if you haven't given the hot foil system a consideration to add to your crafty stash, you will soon.  Put in on your Christmas or birthday list if it isn't in your budget at the moment....

Hello Case-ing Tuesday 547 sketch challenge

For today's card I've used the Case-ing Tuesday 547 sketch challenge.  You can find them over on Facebook.  Each week they take a card from a Stampin' Up! catalog, create the working sketch and challenge everyone to make a project using the layout. I though this layout was interesting and so I decided to make a card using it.  The card you see here is not where I started.  I was trying to use the Swirled Designs bundle along with the Made with Love designer series paper.  I was sucessful in part; however, the flower I was trying to use just wasn't working.  As I had already made the card you saw on Wednesday, I had the idea to switch out the flower for the woolly friend you see below.  It worked way better than my original idea and is much cuter than I anticipated.  Of course, I could have just switched at the swirly flower with a different flower, but as I was already working with Woolly Friends, this just made more sense to me.  I would love to see if you can take this layout, a flower set you have on hand and recreate with your stamps & dies.  You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Supplies and measurements:

Woolly Friends bundle* 166888 (includes stamps and coordinating punch)

Swirled Designs bundle* 167311 (includes stamps & coordinating dies)

Stylish Shapes dies 159183 (second & third smallest squares)

We wish you a merry Christmas Festive Friends wreath card

When I started designing this card, I was looking to go a whole different direction.  But then, as I opened up the Delicate Pines stamp case, I spied the curved bough stamp and this card came to mind.  I'm so glad I changed direction, because it turned out so cute in the end.  Do you ever do that?  Start out in one card in your mind and go a completely different direction?  To see how I've put this card together, you can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Party Banner Love & Courage open top box

Hello and welcome back to my blog.  Today I'm sharing a treat box I made with the Party Banner dies.  I had seen Ronda Wade make a box using the banner dies so I decided to create one for myself.  Because it's the beginning of October and Breast Cancer Awareness month, I thought it only fitting to create a box using the Love & Courage stamp set.  This set is the Making a Difference fundraiser for Stampin' Up!  $3 of each stamp set purchased is donated to a breast cancer organization in each of their markets around the world.  I've used multiple techniques in the creation of the box so 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. 

Supplies and Measurements:

Love & Courage ($3 from each stamp set sold goes to breast cancer non-profits.)

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.
