By The Dock

One of the exciting things about the 2020 Mini Catalog is the inclusion of stamps perfect for creating masculine cards.  A perfect example is the By The Dock Bundle.  The bundle includes the By The Dock Stamp Set and coordinating Dockside Dies.  Since we live in a lake community, I look forward to using this bundle often.  Especially the dock stamp and coordinating die…it’s just what I can use to create cards for my lake loving neighbors.  You can find this set on page 49 in the Mini Catalog.

In the short video below, Brian provides additional information regarding the bundle:

The By The Dock Bundle offers lots of versatility. Many of the elements will coordinate with products from the Annual Catalog, allowing you to expand your creativity.  The best part about purchasing a bundle – you save $10%.

Peaceful Poppies Suite

Peaceful Poppies Suite

Since my husband and I are are traveling, I am sharing the product video from Stampin’ Up! on the Peaceful Poppies Suite Bundle.  It is available in the recently released January-June 2020 Mini Catalog.  The suite bundle includes two bundles – Painted Poppies bundle and Peaceful Moments bundle.  With the two bundles, you have endless creative possibilities.  I love the vibrant colors of the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper.  The hand painted blooms and watercolor washes make beautiful backgrounds or focal points.   

Here’s a short video showcasing the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper…

Aren’t the vibrant colors beautiful? In the video below, Holly shares the products available in the suite.

Isn’t Holly’s explanation of the Suite Bundle wonderful?  By ordering the full Suite Bundle, you’ll have all the materials for endless projects.  Remember with the Suite Bundle, you get not one stamp and die bundle but two – both the Painted Poppies and the Peaceful Moments.

Plus, Sale-a-bration continues until March 31, 2020.  With qualifying purchases of $50 or more (before shipping & taxes), you can order FREE product.  Check out the Sale-a-Bration brochure under (Shop Now).

Team Gifts

Each month, the two Playtime with Paper team members with top sales receive a special thank you gift from me.  Most recently, the top two team members received team gifts of 2019-2021 In Color Faceted Dots and a yard of each of the 1/2′ Scalloped Linen Ribbons in the five new In Colors.  Instead of a card, a tag was created to add to the cellophane bag holding the goodies.  So, I decided to use the Wiggle Worm stamp set and coordinating Wiggly Worm dies for the tag.  Did you know, you can save 10% when purchasing the Wiggle Worm Bundle?  Just look, how stinkin’ cute are those bugs?!  In addition to the cute bugs, the sayings in the stamp set are appropriate for lots of occasions.  

Tag Details:
  1. For creating tag base,  layer  a 2″ x 4″ piece of Garden Lane Designer Series Paper onto a 2″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock.  To adhere the two layers, use multipurpose glue.  For the tag top, use the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.  Finally, round the corners on bottom of tag with the Detailed Trio Punch.
  2. Use the Stitched Nested Labels dies to cut a piece of watercolor paper.  Using an aqua painter and Balmy Blue ink, color a sky background onto the watercolor paper.  Let dry.
  3. Select desired bug stamps and stamp onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  Color with Stampin’ Blends markers.  Use the coordinating color of Classic Stampin’ Pad to stamp the bug lines.  In my samples, Mango Melody Light and Dark Blends color the beetle.  To stamp the lines on the beetle’s body, use the Mango Melody Classic Ink Pad.  For the dragonfly, Daffodil Delight Light Stampin’ Blend colors the body with the wing decor stamped with the Daffodil Delight Classic Ink Pad.
  4. After coloring, use the coordinating bug dies to cut each bug.
  5. Stamp the grass onto the watercolor paper label using Pear Pizzazz Classic Ink Pad and the sentiment using the Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad.
  6. To attach both the watercolor label and the bugs, use Stampin’ Dimensionals .
  7. For an extra touch, cut 2 sets of leaves using the Leaf Punch.  Select color that coordinates with the Designer Series Paper.   For a crumpled appearance, lightly spray water onto the leaves using a Stampin’ Spritzer.  While cardstock is damp, pinch leaves between fingers.  Allow to dry and then attach to tag under the label as shown in photos of gifts.  For a bit of bling, add 3 rhinestones clustered together to form a flower on the base of the top leaves.  Use the 3/16″ Linen Braided to tie the tag to the cellophane bag. 

The bugs were loads of fun to make!  Thus, I stamped and cut more bugs to have ready for other projects.  Just stamp, color and cut to have extras available to use.
