Today’s card is the result of an idea that’s been floating in my mind since the release of the Mini Catalog. I thought it would be fun to create a card with the theme of “Lipstick on A Pig” combining the Dressed to Impress and This Little Piggy Stamp sets. And of course, the color of Lovely Lipstick has to be used. It’s amazing how quickly my design vision came together! Below is my “lipstick on a pig”card:
Details so you can create “Lipstick on a Pig”:
For the card base, cut Petal Pink cardstock (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″). Score at 4-1/4″ and fold.
Second layer is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock.
Top layer uses a piece of 5″ x 3-3/4″ Best Dressed Designer Series Paper.
For the pig:
Cut a piece of 3″ x 4-1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Stitched Nested Labels dies.
Select pig stamp from the This Little Piggy Stamp Set. Cover the sentiment below the pig using a small post-it note. With the post-it note in place, ink the pig stamp with Basic Gray Classic Stampin’ Pad. Remove the post-it note and stamp the pig on the right side of the Whisper White Stitched Label cardstock piece.
Color the pig body using the Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. Use the Light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Marker to color the pig’s hooves. Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Marker colors the grass and the Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Marker colors the ground around the pig.
Use the “kisses” stamp from This Little Piggy Stamp Set to add kisses on the pig’s body. TIP: Instead of using the ink pad, use the Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Write Marker to color each of the kisses and stamp onto pig. This prevents over-inking the stamp.
Next, stamp the sentiment, Hello Gorgeous, from the Dressed to Impress Stamp Set onto the label using the Lovely Lipstick Classic Stampin’ Pad. Then, attach label to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Finishing touches:
Stamp the tube of lipstick using Basic Gray Classic Stampin’ Pad onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock. Color with using the Lovely Lipsticks Stampin’ Blends Markers and the Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. Use the Color Lifter to assist with shading on the tube portion.
Cut the lipstick tube using the coordinating die from the All Dressed Up Dies. Add to the card using Mini Glue Dots.
Complete the card by adding a small bow using the Petal Pink Metallic-Edge Ribbon to the edge of the label.
Have fun creating your own “lipstick on a pig” card!

While practicing social distancing guidelines, I am taking the opportunity to use some of the kits from Stampin’ Up! Currently, I am using the For The Love of Felt Project Kit and the coordinating Stamp Set. Thus, I can continue to set aside snippets of time crafting while still acting as “teacher’s aide” for my grandson. Best of all, with the kit directions it’s doesn’t require that I spend valuable time coming up with card designs. And the Love of Felt Project Kit is beautiful! Here’s one of the completed cards:
Components separated and ready to make another of the cards! Best of all, a beautiful storage box is included for the finished cards.
The kit contains fun felt flowers with layers to add texture and dimension to the handmade cards. The kit includes materials to make 12 full sized cards. There are 4 cards each of 3 different designs. In addition to the project kit and coordinating stamp set, the following items are recommended: Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz, Sahara Sand and Shaded Spruce Classic Stampin’ Pads; Stampin’ Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Snail Adhesive and Paper Snips.
In the video below, Stampin’ Up! provides a short overview of the For the Love of Felt Project Kit and assembly:

Kicking off another week of social distancing and finally able to spend time in my craft cave. As in my last post, this card utilizes a card sketch design found online. Since I recently received the Ornate Garden Suite, I opted to feature the beautiful Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper. It works perfect with the card sketch. The beautiful Ornate Garden Suite is an early release product from the upcoming 2020-2021 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. It is now available for order until May 31 and then again when the catalog “goes live” on June 3.
Here’s the sketch design for the card…
Card Details:
Card base: 4-1/4″ x 11″ Mint Macaron, score at 5-1/2″ with bone folder and fold.
Select three (3) coordinating designs of the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper. Cut as follows – layer one: 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″, layer two: 4-1/8″ x 2-1/2″, layer three: 4″ x 2-3/4″.
Attach layer one designer series paper to the card base. Referring to card sketch for placement, add layers two & three.
Use the “thinking of you” sentiment from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and Rococo Rose Classic Stampin’ Pad to stamp onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock. Cut using the 2″ Circle Punch.
Cut one 4″ piece of 1/4″ Mint Macaron Textile Ribbon and one 4″ piece of Rococo Rose Ribbon from the Ornate Garden Combo Ribbon Package. Add to the card front, overlapping the two ribbons. Tie a small bow using the Rococo Rose ribbon.
Add the sentiment circle atop the layered ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Attach the bow to the side of the circle using a Mini Glue Dot.
Complete the card front by adding 3 of the Gilded Gems to accent the sentiment.

It’s a new month and to kick it off, we have the April 3D Tutorial Bundle! In addition to the April 3D Tutorial Bundle, the team is featuring a blog hop. We’re each sharing a project created to coordinate with our tutorial project. The theme for this month is Mother’s Day and more Spring Celebrations.
Remember, the projects designed for the 3D tutorial bundle aren’t available elsewhere online. Therefore, you’ll receive EXCLUSIVE projects in the tutorial bundle. In addition, you’ll receive both Imperial and Metric project measurements.
Here’s a Sneak Peek of the April 3D projects…
You’re going to love the projects featured in this month’s tutorial!
The card to coordinate with my 3D project is for Mother’s Day but the sentiment can easily be changed to use for a variety of occasions. Be sure to scroll below the card photo for card details and the Design Sketch.
The card design utilizes the sketch below:Card Details:
To create the card base, cut a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Seaside Spray cardstock and score/fold at 5-1/2″.
Next, make the second layer using a piece of 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″ Whisper White cardstock. With the “splotch” stamp from the Delightful Day stamp set and Seaside Spray Classic Stampin’ pad, stamp a background on the Whisper White cardstock. TIP: stamp off once before stamping onto the cardstock to create a light background.
After stamping the background, emboss the second layer using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.
With the large Stitched Shapes circle die, cut the Seaside Spray gingham print from the 6″ x 6″ In-Color Designer Series Paper. Referring to the design sketch, cut the right side portion of the circle and attach to the Whisper White cardstock layer. Add to card base.
Using the Daisy Lane stamp set & Seaside Spray Classic Stampin’ Pad, stamp six medium daisies onto Whisper White cardstock. With coordinating Daisy Punch, cut the daisies. Then, layer two daisies together, adhering at the center with mini glue dots.
Cut four leaves from Old Olive cardstock using the Lovely Leaves Dies. Optional: sponge the edge of the leaves with Old Olive Classic Stampin’ Pad ink.
Next, add leaves to daisies with mini-glue dots and attach to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For an added touch, cut 2″-3″ strips of Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and tuck among daisies using adhesive.
Using the Happy Mother’s Day sentiment in the Dressed to Impress Stamp Set, to stamp sentiment onto a strip of Whisper White cardstock. Cut into a banner shape using the Merry Christmas Dies. Sponge along the edge of the banner with the Seaside Spray ink. Then, add the banner to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals
To complete the card front, add a Clear Faceted Gem to the center of each daisy.
The Mother’s Day card along with the 3D project was lots of fun to create. Utilizing a Design Sketch when making a card is also a fun challenge.
