This month the card class features the Paper Florist Dies from the Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog for card creation. These dies offer a vast range of combinations to create beautiful flowers. The flowers can be used on cards or 3-D projects.

The Paper Florist Dies can be easily overlooked in the catalog (their shown on page 33 and in the Dies section in the back of the catalog). It took me viewing the catalog for a few weeks before spying them and I’m so glad that I ordered the dies! If you’ve overlooked them, be sure to add them to your order. You’ll be glad you did.

Can you believe it’s August! I know time seems to be flying by. Even though it’s August, I’m still sharing cards from the July card class featuring the Zany Zoo Bundle. This week’s card is a Zany Zoo Birthday Card. The whimsical card is appropriate for all ages but would be especially good for those hard to create preteen/teen cards. At least, for me those are the ages that challenge me when cardmaking. As in my last post featuring the Zany Zoo Bundle, the coordinating Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper is used for the characters. And since the turtle has the microphone (singing Happy Birthday), the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder creates a perfect base for the singer and his dancers. Below you’ll find cut dimensions and a video to help you recreate this fun card.
It’s A Zany Zoo Birthday Card Cut Dimensions:
Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ (score/fold at 4-1/4″ for card base)
Basic Black Cardstock: 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ (layering panel); scrap (die cut)
Basic White Cardstock: (2) 5-1/4″ x 4″ (embossing & card interior); scrap (sentiment)
Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper: fussy cutting & die cutting

The fun characters on this card make me smile!

If you’re looking for a fun stamp set, look no further! The Zany Zoo Bundle from Stampin’ Up! is it. And to make the fun even better, add the coordinating Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper and you have a multitude of project possibilities. For today’s project, the card is titled “forest friends” for the skunk and bird image. This image has a stamp but for the card the coordinating die and designer series paper image were used. You’ll find the sentiment in the Artistically Inked Stamp Set or select your favorite sentiment. To embellish the envelope, the image is stamped and colored using Stampin’ Blends.

Today’s card has a “beachy vibe” using the Circle Sayings Bundle to create a thank you card. The card is one that was featured in last month’s class featuring the Circle Sayings Bundle. I had lots of fun creating different cards using the bundle but I think this card is one of my favorites. It’s also a great card design to use for creating multiples. Just stamp the design multiple times and color with the Stampin’ Blends. I like to stamp multiple images to have ready for coloring when watching tv or when I have a few minutes to spare. It helps avoid feeling rushed to finish a card. By having components prepped, components can be pulled together for finishing the card at a later date. Give my method a try!
Cut Dimensions:
Pebbled Path Cardstock: 5-1/2″ x 11″, score/fold at 4-1/4″ for card base
3″ x 3″ die cut Basic White Cardstock: (2) 4″ x 5-1/4″; 2-3-4″ x 2-3/4″
2023-2025 In Color Designer Series Paper: 4″ x 2-1/2″

We had Hey Chick in the past and now we have Hey Chuck! And Hey Chuck is just as much fun to use for creating projects. Today I am using the Hey Chuck Bundle to create a note card set. This project is from a recent gathering of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from the state of Georgia. Attendees created the note card set as one of their projects.
To color the images watercolor pencils and a blender pen were selected. The technique of using watercolor pencils and a blender pen is often forgotten but is a great alternative to Stampin’ Blends. When using the technique, I recommend using the Thick White Cardstock as “pilling” with a blender pen is less likely to occur. Plus use a soft touch with the blender pen – think of holding a paint brush and likely smooth across the coloring to smooth and blend. To add additional interest, texture emboss the colored panels with the cross hatch Basics 3D Embossing Folder.
Don’t those chicks make you smile?
To recreate the Hey Chuck Note Card Set, a FREE tutorial is available. The tutorial is in the Events Section at the top of this post under the Tutorial Tab.
