Tuesday Tutorial # 54 Autumn Thanks Banner card

It's Tuesday again and that means it's time for another tutorial!

I used Crazy About You, a stamp set from Stampin' Up!

I am really enjoying the sunshine, but I got an idea for this card and just had to make it! Autumn will be here soon enough, whether I like it or not!

This card is quick to create. It use thinlits, framelits, a punch and one stamp.

I used:

• Sunburst thinlits
• Brights Designer Series paper stack- Tempting Turquoise dots
• Tempting Turquoise cardstock for the card base
• Daffodil Delight cardstock
• Whisper White cardstock
• Umbrella Weather framelits (clouds)
• Hello You thinlits
• Crazy About You stamp set
• Confetti Hearts Border punch
• Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper
• red foil paper (I forgot it was retired so you can use red glimmer paper instead)
• Basic Black Archival Stampin' ink pad

Have a blessed day,

Something for Baby card

This is a catalog CASE. Can you find it in the previous Stampin' Up! catalog? It is very close to the original, other than the colors.

All of the pieces are stamped and then die cut with the matching framelits. Love those framelits!

I used Pool Party, Marina Mist and Daffodil Delight for the inks on this card. I used Pool Party cardstock for the card base and Whisper White cardstock for all the background blocks and to stamp the images on.

I used the stamp set Crazy About You for the sentiment.

Another Spring Banner

Here's the other spring banner I made. Flowers and butterflies are perfect for spring.

I used Stampin' Up! butterfly framelits for the butterflies. The stamped flowers are from the Crazy About You stamp set. I also used the Boho Blossom punch for the small flowers and the fringe scissors for the grass. The fence is stamped with the hardwood stamp.

Enjoy the day,
Trude

Paper Pumpkin Remake

I think this is the last of the February and March Paper Pumpkin remakes. This is a remake of the envelopes that came with the accordion cards. I used it to create a little treat box for my friend for Easter. I filled it with Jelly Belly jelly beans.

I used the Crazy About You stamp set from Stampin' Up!s spring Occasions catalog. The leaves and flower are included with MANY words that you can combine to create greetings for almost any Occasion. It's a favorite from the catalog.

I believe I used Melon Mambo and Garden Green inks to stamp the box. The twine is the thick Bakers twine that was free during Sale-A-Bration.

Paper Pumpkin Remakes

I created some small cards with the February Paper Pumpkin kit. The kit was designed to create accordion Thank You cards and they are quite cute. They come with craft box-type envelopes that are really too thick to be mailed but are very nice to give to people in person.

I decided to alter the original project to make it more mailable. Here are some of the items I created.

Inside- "Birthday"

I used the Crazy About You stamp set for the stamped sentiments on each card. 
These are all small cards, about the size of a regular 'gift enclosure' card.

I also used the Sale-A-Bration papers, Irresistibly Yours, on each of the cards and sponged them with color. I really love these papers and hope that Stampin' Up! will have more of this type of paper available in future catalogs.

Paper Pumpkin Remake # 7- Easter card

I used the Happy Easter Bunny stamp to create this Easter card. I colored the stripes on the card with markers, used a marker for the YOU, and stamped the Easter greeting words with the Crazy About You word stamp set. I stamped the bunny, colored it with markers and cut it out with a craft knife. 

This dancing bunny is so fun! That is how I feel about spring, Happy, Happy!
We've had rain, thunder, and hail today...typical spring weather. The sun has even tried peeking out a couple of times!
Enjoy the day,
Trude

Lucky Paper Pumpkin Card Remake # 3

I'm really getting into altering the Paper Pumpkin kit this month. Here is my next alteration. I have to post this one now before March is over. 

I decided that the small flower in the Stampin' Up! Itty Bitty punch pack looked a little like four leaf clovers. Then I found the word in the Crazy About You stamp set. I love that set because it has so many words in it that can be used singly or in phrases.

Then again, instead of using the yellow embroidery floss that came with the Paper Pumpkin kit, I used markers to color the YOU.

This could be used as a congratulations card or a St. Pat's Day card.

Thanks for checking out my blog today. If you don't have a demonstrator, I'd love to help you! Check out my contact tab above.

Have a blessed day,

Rainbow Paper Pumpkin Card

I am creating with the March Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin' Up! 
This is the first card I made. There are 9 cards, 3 each of 3 different designs. I decided to do all of them a little differently than the way they were intended to be put together.
For some of the cards I am using the stamps that came with the set and for others I am using stamps from my regular Stampin' Up! stamp sets.
The cards were intended to be just the black and white design with the yellow YOU and some added Soft Sky accents. You will see over the next several days that my cards went in another direction.

Outside

Inside

I used the ink pads from the bright set to sponge color on the front of the card. I decided not to use the green from the Brights set, so I used the Wild Wasabi instead because it is brighter.

The "Thinking of" stamps are from the Crazy About You stamp set. That set is a wonderful set with lots of words and so many ways to combine them. It is in the Spring Occasions catalog.

Keep checking back for more March Paper Pumpkin alternate idea cards!

Happy Day,
Trude

Crazy About You Father's Day Card

Yup, I know it is WAY too early to think about special days during the summer. But, I was pulling out stamps to stamp with that I hadn't used in a while, or not at all, and ended up doing a Father's Day card! I have a new set that is in the Stampin' Up! spring occasions catalog and it is called Crazy About You. It has Many different words and phrases in it that are interchangeable. I also have the Blue Ribbon stamp set that is in the annual catalog and haven't inked it up in awhile, so I decided to use them together. I also pulled out my Stampin' Up! Color Coach and started looking through it for some color combination ideas and decided to use this color combination.

I know it is hard to see in this photo, but I used the Confetti stars border punch to punch a bunch of tiny Silver stars from Silver Glimmer paper and then I scattered them over the card.

I used:
Paper: Pacific Point card stock, Daffodil Delight card stock, Whisper White card stock, Silver glimmer paper
Ink: Old Olive, Pacific Point
Marker: Daffodil Delight
Stamp Sets: Crazy About You, Blue Ribbon
Other: Washi Tape, Confetti Stars border punch
