Aug 12, 2019 | 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, Note Cards, Quick & Easy |
Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend. Are you experiencing the extremely hot and humid temperatures too? Here in Georgia, we’ve been under heat advisories the past couple of days. So you know what that means, time to stay indoors and create! Today’s card share is a design from the August card class and is a simple Peacock Note Card. Several of the elements used for the card are from the Noble Peacock Suite in the 2019-2020 Annual Stampin’ Up! Catalog. The Royal Peacock Bundle includes the Detailed Peacock Dies and the Royal Peacock Stamp Set. The peacock on today’s note card is cut using one of the peacock dies. Did you notice, there is no stamping required for this peacock. The Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Paper provides a beautiful backdrop for the peacock. More details on creating the simple peacock note card are below the photo.
Details continued:
The card base is a Whisper White Note Card topped with the Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper. The Blueberry Bushel designer series paper is 4-3/4″ x 3-1/4″. Using the peacock die from the Detailed Peacock Dies, cut a piece of Sparkle Glimmer Paper (4-3/4″ x 2-3/4″). Adhere the peacock to the side of the Blueberry Bushel layer.
For the sentiment, stamp the “Hello” from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock using Blueberry Bushel Classic Stamp Pad. Using the 1-1/2″ circle punch, cut around the sentiment. Next, stamp the flowers from the Royal Peacock stamp set around the top and the bottom of the sentiment. NOTE: Placement of the flowers around the sentiment is easier after punching the stamped sentiment. With the 1-3/4″ circle punch, cut a piece of the Old Olive Foil from the Noble Peacock Foil sheets. Adhere the sentiment circle to the foil circle. Attach to card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Complete the card by wrapping the 3/8″ Reversible Ribbon around the card and tie a knot.
See how quick and easy it is to create a peacock note card!

Aug 7, 2019 | 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, Bundles, Designer Series Paper, Dino Days, Note Cards, Scalloped Note Cards |
In today’s post, I am sharing a fun set of note cards highlighting the Dino Days Bundle. In addition, the Scalloped Note Cards are featured. Not only are the note cards lots of fun to create, they are fun and playful looking. The Dino Days Bundle includes the Dino Days Stamp Set and Dino Dies. The Dino Days Bundle is included in the Dinoroar Suite Bundle along with the Dinoroar Designer Series Paper, 3/8″ Denim Ribbon and Dinoroar Enamel Shapes. When starting to design the project, I first looked at the Dinoroar Designer Series Paper and used it as my color inspiration. It was then when I realized that the designer series paper would coordinate beautifully with the Scalloped Note Cards. If you’ve noticed in past posts, I am a huge fan of note cards. Now with the Scalloped Note Cards, I have more creation options.
Aren’t the dinosaurs cute? I’ll let you in on a secret! All of the dinosaurs used on the note cards were cut from the Dinoroar Designer Series Paper. And no fussy cutting was required! The Dino Dies matches perfectly with dinosaur images on some of the designer series paper.
Here’s a tip for you when cutting the dinosaurs with spikes on their backs. There are two separate dies, one for the dinosaur body and one for the spikes. First cut the dinosaur body with the coordinating die. After cutting, you will notice that the spike will not have enough paper for you to attach it to the dinosaur. Therefore, adhere the spike to a scrap of whisper white cardstock and then cut it with the spike die. This will provide you with enough paper to attach to the dinosaur.

Jun 10, 2019 | 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, Designer Series Paper, Free As A Bird, Note Cards, Uncategorized |
What a busy week! With the launch of the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog, I held my Open House Catalog Kick-off to celebrate. Therefore, I missed my normal blogging schedule last week. The Open House Catalog Kick-off was a fulfilled afternoon. There were 20 ladies that attended the event. In addition to seeing samples using new products, there was a catalog scavenger hunt and make ‘n takes. I learned there are some very competitive people in my neighborhood! Plus, door prize drawings and a game of “guess the number of Skittles in a jar” – everyone enjoyed themselves playing games. What’s great is that I have a variety projects to share from the event for the next few weeks. Today, I’m sharing one of the make ‘n takes that guests had the opportunity to stamp and assemble.
Project details:
The note card project features the Free As A Bird Stamp Set and coordinating Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper. Each attendee received the make ‘n take kit with pre-cut project materials to assemble and stamp. Top a layer of Petal Pink cardstock (4-3/4″ x 3-1/4″) with a piece of the bird cage design from the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper (4-1/2″ x 3″). When layering, be sure to pay attention to the direction of the bird cages. We had a few upside down birdcages. Petal Pink card stock is cut with the Stitched Shapes circle die. The 2″ circle punch is used to cut birds from the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper. Before assembling, stamp the sentiment onto a 5/8″ x 2-3/4″ strip of Whisper White cardstock using Early Espresso Classic Ink Pad. Using paper snips, create a flag end by cutting an inverted “v” from the tag. To complete the project, sandwich the tag between the bird layer and the stitched shapes circle. To attach to the note card, use Stampin’ Dimensionals. Lastly, tie a bow with linen thread. To attach, use mini glue dots. Also, don’t forget to stamp the envelope!
Everyone had fun making their note card. Each was slightly different since the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper has a variety of birds.
Open House highlights…
Below are a few photos from the Open House. I quickly took them before guests arrived. Unfortunately, I neglected to take a photo of my kitchen island set-up where make ‘n takes were assembled. Even worse, I forgot to take a picture of them working on their projects. It was quite a sight with 12-15 people crowded around the island working on projects and helping one another!

Jan 4, 2019 | Note Cards, Occasions Catalog 2019, Sale-A-Bration 2019 |
In my Facebook Live presentation New Year’s Day, I presented four beautiful butterfly note cards. The Gingham Gala Suite was featured and is in the new Occasions Catalog on pages 34-35. The suite includes the beautiful Butterfly Gala stamp set and coordinating Butterfly Duet punch. The Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper (DSP) is also in the suite. Even better is the coordinating Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack in the Sale-a-Bration brochure. The five spools of ribbon coordinate perfectly with the Gingham Gala DSP and are available FREE with a $50 product order.
Four different note card designs were shown with each using a different gingham DSP color. Two of the cards highlight simple stamping and are perfect for the beginning stamper or for anyone needing a quick, easy card. The remaining two are “stepped up” cards and require a little more time to create. Here is the tutorial for the four note cards.
Don’t you just love the cards? I love the beautiful Spring colors and designs. Add additional products to get the stepped up version of the cards, or add embellishments of your choice. If you have not received a copy of the Occasions Catalog, let me know and we can arrange to get you a copy. Remember to also check out the Sale-a-Bration catalog to get any of the coordinating products for free.
