Everyday Happiness...Five Cards to Inspire You...One Fun Fold!

 Good Morning Stampers! 

Today I am showcasing a Designer Series paper...called Everyday Happiness #166632.  (online exclusive while supplies last, available as of this morning)

I have five cards to share using this DSP, and one is a fun fold! 

Here is a peek at this GORGEOUS DSP: 

Here are my four simple cards: 

These cards feature the Sketched Butterflies Bundle #163492 (on last chance list but available as of this morning)

And here is my fun fold card:

  This is called a Triangular Flap Fold.  This card features the Memorable Blooms Bundle #164816 (on last chance list but available as of this morning)

To make this card:

Start with Lost Lagoon cardstock 11x4 1/4 and score at 5 1/2.  

Mark the front panel at the center point with a pencil - 2 1/8". 

Now cut from the top right corner to the center mark.  Repeat on the opposite side. 

Now you have your Triangular Flap Fold....easy right! 

Now to decorate: 

DSP 4x 5 1/4

Mark the DSP at the center point with a pencil -2".

Now cut from top right corner to the center mark.  Repeat on the opposite side. 

Now you have your base card.

Now for inside card: 

Basic White: 5 1/4 x 8 scored at 4

DSP: 5 x 3 3/4

After you attach the DSP to the front panel, open the card and put it in your paper trimmer.  We need to cut a slit in the front of the card for the triangle flap to fit into. 

Make sure the bottom of the card is on the one inch mark. Next cut from the 1 1/4 to 2 1/2

Now glue this card inside your triangle flap card.  

I added the cut off triangles to decorate the inside of the card where you put your message. 

Stamp and color flowers, die cut and add to front triangle.  

Embellish with pearls and bow.  

Simple Stamping With Shel: Spring Corners Bundle...

 Good Morning, Stampers! 

Today, I am featuring the online exclusive Spring Corners Bundle.  

This is a fun one as it has frame dies and dies that cut out the inverted Daisy image, and corners too!  

Here is a peek at the products: 

And here are my cards:

This first one is fun because I pushed all my layers to the left fold to add interest. 

 The corner greeting is fabulous and the balloons with some popped on top add dimension.  

I love the Bubble Bath and the Basic Black together....they pop!

This next one showcases the inverted die that cuts the daisy in the corner.  

To add interest, I added some hearts with Versamark and embossed them with clear embossing powder.  

The black mat layers showcase the daisies beautifully. 

Here are some alternate samples to inspire you: 

Remember, Online Exclusives are while supplies last.  If you want this fabulous bundle, be sure to order yours today!  

Happy Stamping!

Stamp With Shel- Cards In The Mail and a FREE tutorial...

 

Everyone loves to get happy mail, and I especially love receiving beautiful cards like this! 

This card was designed by Carole Anderson and showcases the beautiful Hand Penned Petals DSP from a couple of years ago.  This is such gorgeous paper! 

She used the Layering Diorama die-cut as a contrasting anchor point for her greeting tag.  LOVE THIS! 

This card layout is a perfect example of how to use up those retired DSP.  You could make a whole stack and simply change up the greetings for different occasions.  You make two cards at a time with this tutorial with zero waste

How You Can Make It:  

Card Base: Pick Color from your DSP: 2@ 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, score 4 1/4

Inside Mat Layer: Basic White: 2@4 x 5 1/4

Front Mat Layer: Basic White:2@ 4 x 5 1/4

DSP: Any double-sided: 2@ 3 3/4 x 5 ( measure across the bottom 2 inches and measure up the side 3 1/2 and mark.  Cut between score lines. Then simply use opposite-patterned pieces on your card for contrast.)

Ribbon: 2 @ 7 inches ( or you can use cardstock to cover the seam as well)

Greeting Tag: Basic White: 2@ shape to fit your greeting

Anchor Tag: Color from DSP: 2@ any shape to layer under your greeting tag

Dots: any to coordinate with your card

SIMPLE STAMPING WITH SHEL- Featuring Wildflower Birthday DSP and Birthday Celebration Bundle...

 

Good Morning, Stampers! 

I am sharing two cards featuring the Wildflower Birthday DSP and the Birthday Celebration bundle for today's creative inspiration. 

Here is a peek at those products:

The Wildflower Birthday 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper is full of designs that are ready to party! You get 10 sheets of double-sided designs, some with party designs, some with all-purpose designs, and some with tags. You also get 2 sheets of ready-to-use die cuts. This paper is perfect for card making, scrapbooking, and other crafting.

* 12 sheets of patterned paper: 2 each of 5 double-sided designs, 2 each of 1 single-sided sheet of die cuts
* 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm)
* Acid free
* Lignin free

Product colors: Blueberry Bushel, gold, Old Olive, Peach Pie, Pool Party, Pretty in Pink, Soft Sea Foam

This paper crafting staple is great scrapbook paper, card making paper, and more! Ask your demonstrator about coordinating products.

And here are my cards: 

This first card looks like it might be a fun fold, but it is not.  I just cut the DSP into triangles so that it looks that way.  The balloons are a die-cut from the DSP pack as well as the tag.  I just stamped a greeting and added a bow to embellish.

This second card features the DSP paired with a pre-printed panel with the cake on it.  SO SIMPLE! I stamped the greeting in Blueberry Bushel ink to match the card base,and fussy cut the greeting. I added a few gold dots to play off the gold foiling on the preprinted card. 

Now, here are some alternate ideas to inspire you: 

Product Showcase: Bee My Valentine & Bee Builder Punch + 12 SAMPLES to inspire you!

 

Today I wanted to inspire you with 12samples featuring the Bee My Valentine stamp set and the Bee Builder Punch.  You can find this carried over in the new 25-26 Annual Catalog on page 99.

Here is a quick peek at these products: 

Here are my cards: 

This first card is a standard card with lots of layers on the front to showcase the dsp and create a fabulous backdrop for the greeting and the bees.  

This second card is a simple fun fold.  I just took a standard card and cut off the top half of the front from top left to bottom right allowing the inside DSP to shine through to the front. So easy and creates an interesting card. 

My third card  is also a fun fold but a little more detailed with more scores and more DSP.  

I just LOVE the bright and happy feel to these cards!

Now here are some alternate projects to inspire you using these products: 

A small gift box....

Check it out ....use the punch to punch out flowers for added interest.....

A window is always a fun way to add interest to your cards!

A 3D wall art frame!

Another small gift box....

How fun are these projects!  Hope you are inspired to get stamping! 😀

Product Showcase: Storybook Moments Suite...and FIVE card samples...

 

Hey, Hey Stampers! 

Today, I was to showcase the Storybook Moments Suite of products for you, but the Stampin' Up! website is shut down for a few hours so they can implement the new rewards program for customers.  

I do not have access to product images at this time. Once the website is up, just search for the Storybook Moments Suite, and it will show you photos of this suite's gorgeous components.  

Today, I am focusing on the stamp set and the DSP, of which I do have photos (albeit blurry ...sorry).  Here is a peek at those products: 

 

This DSP includes two sheets of die-cut designs!  How fun!

Here are my cards: 

My first card is a fun fold that is super easy to make...you simply fold squares of DSP in half and glue it behind the Basic White mat layer to form "gates" on the card front. I added a belly band to keep it shut. 

Here is the card opened.  - Check out that rock wall background that I created by repeatedly stamping the rock stamp.....makes it more interesting than a plain white tag. 

This next card is super easy and fun....just some DSP and die cuts with a few embellishments and voila...an Easter card!

This next card uses one of the DSP panels for the focal image.  All I did, was a bit of dry embossing and added some layers and voila! Easy peasy!

Die cuts and strips of Bokeh DSP create this cute card!

This sweet card was super easy as well.  I dry embossed a panel and added ink to highlight the embossing.  Again I used one of the panels from the DSP.  Some cute embellishments and a greeting and voila!

I hope this post helps you to look at the potential in the various DSP packs.  

Tip:  Be on the lookout for the ones with die cut sheets ( or the ephemera packs) as they are GEMS and make creating cards and scrapbook pages SO EASY!
