Sep 14, 2020 | 2020-2021 Annual Catalog, 2020-2022 In Colors, Baby, Cards, Uncategorized |
This weekend I was able to attend a baby shower for my daughter-in-law. In another month, we will be welcoming a new granddaughter, Camryn, to the family! The decor for baby Camryn’s room is jungle animals with a focus on zebras (as selected by big sister, Brooklynn). So, the Zany Zebras stamp set created a perfect baby card. The 2020-2022 In-Color Magenta Madness adds a bright background highlighting the zebra. More features of this fun card are below.
Notice the zebra is in a window. Not only is the zebra in the window, it also wobbles. Such fun to create a motion card. I found the card wobbles on Amazon but if you want to keep the zebra stationary, Stampin’ Dimensionals will secure the zebra.
Zany Zebras Baby Card Details:
- Create card base using Thick Whisper White cardstock (4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5-1/2″ for a side fold).
- Cut a piece of the Magenta Madness 2020-2022 In-Color Designer Series Paper 4″ x 5-1/4″ and attach to the card front.
- Stamp the zebra onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock (approximately 3″ x 3″) using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. With paper snips, fussy cut the zebra. (while you’re stamping, be sure to stamp a zebra on the envelope too!)
- Select placement area for zebra. Then, use the third largest Layering Circles Die cut a window into the card front.
- Create a frame for the window cut-out by using the second & third largest Layering Circles Dies to cut a piece of Magenta Madness cardstock. Add the frame to the cut-out.
- To showcase the zebra, add a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Magenta Madness cardstock to the card interior. Center the zebra in the frame and adhere with either a card wobble or Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- For the sentiment, add a 1-1/4″ x 3″ strip of Basic Black cardstock to a strip of the Foam Adhesive Sheet. Cut the word “baby” using the Well Written Dies set. Stamp the word “for” onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and use paper snips to cut into a small rectangle around the word. The word for comes from the Well Said Stamp Set. (The dies and stamp set are available as a bundle – saving you 10%).
- Complete the card by adding the sentiment to the lower right area of the card front.
Not only is the Zany Zebras baby card a fun, cheerful card, it is was a fun card to create!

Sep 2, 2020 | Cards, Designer Series Paper, Dies, Gilded Autumn Specialty, Stitched Leaves, Uncategorized |
Hope you’re enjoying your week. My schedule seems to be jam packed but it’s all good. This past weekend, Stampin’ Up! hosted an online conference which I had the opportunity to attend. Great speakers, breakout sessions and even, networking ZOOM meetings. All of the conference was fantastic. The great thing about an online conference is the ability to watch the recordings of segments that ran concurrent. So, I am listening to the other breakout sessions and replaying sessions so that I can absorb the information . It will take me several days to get through all of the sessions. Of course, we’re experiencing heat and humidity so after my early morning walks, I find all opportunities to stay indoors. Oh, how I’m looking forward to the arrival of crisp, cool autumn temperatures! Now, on to details of the Stitched Leaves card.
In keeping with my wishes for autumn to arrive soon, today’s card is another autumn themed card. The Stitched Leaves Dies are perfect for cutting beautiful leaves. The stitching adds a wonderful textural element. And yes, I’m using one of my favorite papers from the Mini Catalog – the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Materials:
- Early Espresso card base: 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”
- Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper: background layer: 4” x 5-1/4”; coordinating strip: 5-1/4” x 1-1/2”
- Very Vanilla cardstock: 2” x 1/2” for label; 5” x 4-1/4” for interior
- Cajun Craze cardstock: scrap for leaf
- Brushed Metallic Cardstock: 3” x 3”
- Stamp Set: Love of Leaves
- Inks: Early Espresso for sentiment, Mint Macaron & Cajun Craze to sponge leaves (opt)
- Dies: Stitched Leaves
- Ribbon: Vanilla from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack
Card Assembly:
- Add the background layer of Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (5-1/4″ x 4″) to the Early Espresso card base.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the Very Vanilla cardstock strip (2-1/2″ x 1/2″). Attach to the back of a 5-1/4” x 1-1/2” Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper strip using a glue dot. Then, add the strip to the card.
- Optional: Sponge the edges of the Mint Macaron and Cajun Craze leaves with the coordinating ink pads.
- Position leaves as desired to card front and attach using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Tie a bow with the Vanilla ribbon and add to the stems of the leaves.

Sep 1, 2020 | 3-D, 3D, August-December 2020 Mini Catalog, Bundles, Cards, Halloween, Hallows Night Magic Bundle, Magic In This Night, Product Suites, Tutorials, Uncategorized |
It’s a new month and to kick it off, we have the September 3D Tutorial Bundle! We have the talented Patti Dolan joining us as a guest designer for this month’s tutorial bundle. In addition to the tutorial bundle, the team is featuring a blog hop! We’re each sharing a second project created using the same products to coordinate with our tutorial project. You’ll find the blog hop links at the bottom of this post. This month, the team is highlighting projects for Halloween.
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, we’re including both Imperial and Metric measurements for each project.
Now for a Sneak Peek of the September 3D projects…
Here’s my bonus project to coordinate with my September 3D tutorial project. It’s a “spidery” Halloween card featuring the Magic in this Night Suite.
Card Details:
- Create a card base using Blackberry Bliss cardstock (5-1/2″ x 11″, scored and folded at 4-1/4″).
- Next, cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock to 4″ x 5-1/4″. Texture emboss using the Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder. After embossing, use a light touch to apply Clear Wink of Stella across the web.
- Cut two pieces of the 1-1/2″ Metallic Mesh Ribbon approximately 6-1/2″. Pull and stretch the ribbon to slightly widen. Then, wrap one of the pieces across the center of the Basic Black layer and adhere. With the other piece of ribbon, tie around the ribbon attached and wrap to the back of the card. Use Stampin’ Seal to adhere. See photo below –
- Add the “web” layer to the card base using Stampin’ Seal adhesive.
- Using the labels dies in the Halloween Magic Dies, cut a piece of the Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper (4-1/2″ x 3″). NOTE: Place the smaller die inside of the larger die to cut a frame to use on the card interior.
- Stamp Happy Halloween from the Hallows Magic Night Stamp Set onto a 3/4″ x 3-1/4″ strip of Whisper White cardstock using Blackberry Bliss Classic Stampin’ Pad. Add to the center of the small label using Stampin’ Seal and attach to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp one large spider and two small spiders from the Hallows Night Magic Stamp Set using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Cut the large spider with the coordinating die from the Halloween Magic Dies and fussy cut the two small spiders. Add Iridescent Pearls to each of the spider bodies.
- To complete the card, add the spiders to the card front. Note: use Glue Dots for the 2 small spiders and a Stampin’ Dimensional for the large spider.
Card Interior:
The Magic In This Night Suite offers lots of creative options for Halloween projects. If you’re a fan of Halloween, you’ll want to add the suite to your craft supplies.

Aug 27, 2020 | August-December 2020 Mini Catalog, Cards, Christmas, Designer Series Paper, Heartwarming Hugs, Holiday, Punches, Rectangular Postage Stamp, Uncategorized |
Yes, we still have a few months to go before Christmas arrives but it’s never to early to start planning! Today, I’m sharing a Patchwork Christmas card. Using the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch, a variety of coordinating papers from the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper are cut. The Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper has many patterns in traditional Christmas colors so it’s perfect for creating a patchwork card. The sentiment for the card is chosen from the Tag Buffet Photopolymer Stamp Set.
Card Materials & Details:
- Card base: Real Red cardstock
- Layer 1: Mossy Meadow cardstock (5-1/4″ x 4″)
- Punch eight (8) coordinating pieces of the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch.
- Randomly arrange the postage stamp pieces onto the Mossy Meadow cardstock layer allowing some to overlap the edges. After adhering in place, trim the edges of the
postage stamps that overlap. NOTE: When arranging the pieces, you will have an open space in the card center – it will be covered by the sentiment label. Also, pay attention and only add adhesive to the portion of the stamp that will be on the Mossy Meadow layer (ask me why?! LOL) - Use strong adhesive and attach the postage stamp layer to the card base.
- Stamp the sentiment onto Whisper White cardstock using Mossy Meadow Classic Stampin’ Pad. Cut shape using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies.
- With Stampin’ Seal, attach the sentiment piece to a Real Red label cut using the next larger size Stitched Nested Labels Dies.
- Attach the label to the card front covering the open space area in the card center. To add lift, attach using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Embellish around the sentiment with red rhinestone jewels.
The Patchwork Christmas Card design is great to use if you’re making multiple cards. Select your favorite coordinating Designer Series Papers and start punching! By varying the placement and paper patterns of the postage shapes, you can create cards that differ slightly. Yet, you’re using the same materials for all of the cards. Select your favorite holiday sentiments to add even more variety. The full list of items used for today’s card is listed at the bottom of the post.
