Distinktive Cards

Today, I want to share the April Paper Pumpkin kit with products to create beautiful Distinktive cards.   The video below shows you the kit’s contents that subscribers received last week.  When my Paper Pumpkin box arrived, I was eager to see the project.  I definitely was not disappointed and opted to not make alternative designs with the kit.   It was so much fun. And the cards are gorgeous!  Plus the enclosed box is perfect for gifting the cards.  If you are not a subscriber, you can subscribe to Paper Pumpkin any time and get in on the excitement each month when that little box comes to your door.   

 

The Distinktive stamps are awesome stamps that bring images to life right before your eyes.  They allow you to have amazing images to share with your family and friends as you created these special cards for them.  What’s wonderful is now I have a beautiful stamp set to use on future projects! 

So if you are not a subscriber, subscribe here by May 10th and be a  part of the special kit inspired from Shelli Gardner.  Here’s a peek at the special Paper Pumpkin box designed for the Hugs by Shelli.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting.  Be sure to check back on Monday to see a new project!

Final Goodbye

I never thought I would see the day that our Lovely as a Tree stamp set would retire from the Stampin’ Up! catalogs.  However, the day has come so it’s time to bid a final goodbye.  Yes, the Lovely as A Tree stamp set is retiring.  In honor of saying a final goodbye, the following card has been created.  You can always use it for any season.  Since trees are blooming, I highlighted the trees to look like leaves are budding. That’s what makes it such an awesome stamp set, you can create a variety of looks.  

Here are the details for the card:  First, sponge the sky in Balmy Blue onto a 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Stamp thee trees were stamp using Early Espresso (as well as sentiment from Wonderful Romance which is also retiring).  Allow the Early Espresso to dry.  Then sponge the grass using Granny Apple Green Classic Stampin’ Pad.  The birds are from High Tide stamp set and are stamped using the Early Espresso  The Gingham Gala Daffodil Delight is the Designer Series Paper layer (retiring) and the card base is Granny Apple Green.  Use the following Stampin’ Blends colors to create the tree buds: Granny Apple Green, Mossy Meadow and Old Olive.  

This is one of the most beloved sets in the history of Stampin’ Up!.  It’s going to be hard to let it go. The stamp set is guaranteed to be available until May 24 so I encourage you to consider ordering this classic stamp set soon.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Incredible Like You Project Kit

Hope you had a wonderful Easter.  This year, it was a quiet Easter for my husband and me so I was able to spend part of the afternoon in my craft cave.  Since I could not spend endless hours crafting, I decided to make the Incredible Like You Project Kit.  That’s the beauty of using a kit, they are great when you want to make projects fast.  This kit is on the Last Chance product list and is available until June 3 or while supplies last.  In my opinion, the photos in the Occasions Catalog do not do the cards justice.  The cards are beautiful! The laser-cut overlays add a touch of elegance.  The kit contains the materials to make 16 cards (four of each design).  The project kit coordinates with the Incredible Like You Stamp Set. The sentiments in the stamp set are a couple of my favorites.  However, it’s easy to substitute the sentiments and use your favorite stamp sets sentiments.  Additional products you may need to complete the kit per the kit instructions are Coastal Cabana and Lovely Lipstick Classic Stampin’ Pads and Multipurpose Glue.   Below the photos are a few added tips for assembly.

Incredible Like You Project Kit

Here are a few alternative sentiments used.  Plus, check out the lined envelope that is in the kit.

Alternate Sentiments for Incredible Like You Project Kit

What’s even better, is the kit contains a reusable storage envelope.

Incredible Like You Project Kit Reusable Storage Envelope

Assembly Tips:
  • Separate each of the card designs and the card elements into individual stacks
  • Select sentiments and stamp onto the appropriate size labels
  • Use the Take Your Pick for removing the glue dots included with the kit (or use your own mini glue dots).
  • To attach the laser-cut overlays, use small dots of multipurpose adhesive glue along the overlay edges.  Remember, a little of the glue goes a long way!

The project kit contains assembly instructions.  Also refer to the Stampin’ Up! You Tube video to watch Tanner assemble the kit. 

It was great to be able to make 16 cards quickly.  They are now in the reusable storage envelope ready for use.

Remember to order your kit before it’s no longer available!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
