Trucking Along

Hey Friends! Today, I'm excited to share the first project in a series using the Trucking Along Bundle. We'll be using this bundle in our projects for Thursday's (August 1, 2024)  Stamp with Me class. I hope you'll join me! 

For this card, I started with a Crumb Cake Card Base and added a 4-1/8" X 5-3/8" layer of Country Woods DSP.

Next, I cut a piece of 3-3/8" X 4-5/8" Thick White cardstock. I stamped the filler image for the truck in Coastal Cabana ink and then stamped the outline image in Memento Black ink. I followed the same steps for the Christmas tree, using Garden Green Ink. 

I adhered the white layer to a 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" piece of Early Espresso cardstock. Next, I wrapped some linen thread around these layers and tied a bow on the left side. Then, I stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of white cardstock, used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut out the banner, and attached it to the top with a dimensional. Finally, I adhered the entire layered piece to the card base using dimensionals.

I hope you were inspired by today's project! Remember to join me on Thursday, August 1, 2024, at 3 p.m., Live on Facebook and YouTube, for our  Live Stamp with Me class.

Stamp with Me - Attention Shoppers

Hey there, friends!

I'm super excited to share three fun projects using the Attention Shoppers Bundle by Stampin' Up! We're going to be making these cards today during our Stamp with Me class, live on Facebook and YouTube at 2:00 PM CST. You can grab the PDF with a list of supplies and measurements; just click the link at the bottom of this post!  Here's a sneak peek at what we'll be creating together: 

(I'll post the video replay at the end of this blog post once the Live is finished!)

First, we have an adorable card with the cutest scalloped detail. This one is perfect for any occasion, and the Attention Shoppers Bundle really shines with its charming, hand-drawn images. It's a must-have for adding a little whimsy to your cards! This card was CASED by Debra Harrison with Simply Sweet in Ink Designs; she always has the cutest ideas for her projects. 

Next, we're going to add some extra flair with a card that features the Painted Texture embossing folder. This gives our background some fantastic depth and dimension. We'll also use the Spotlight on Nature Dies to create a pretty circle frame for our stamped image. This card has a bit more detail and will surely wow everyone who sees it!

Our last project is a super fun fold gift card holder. This one is great for birthdays or any special occasion. Just swap out the stamped image and sentiment to fit the occasion. The Attention Shoppers Bundle is versatile, and this unique fold makes giving a gift card extra special.

The Attention Shoppers Bundle is packed with cute hand-drawn images and versatile elements, perfect for a ton of different projects. I can't wait to make these cards with you live!

Remember to join me today for Stamp with Me Live at 2:00 PM CST on Facebook and YouTube. We'll have a blast crafting together and exploring all the awesome ways to use the Attention Shoppers Bundle. See you soon!

Hearts & Hugs - Peach Pie

Hey there! Happy Friday! Today, I'm excited to share my latest card made with the Hearts & Hugs Stamp and Die Bundle. For this project, I used a Peach Pie card base and colored and die-cut the adorable mouse image from the Hearts and Hugs stamp set.

To start, I cut a piece of 3" x 4-1/8" Thick White cardstock and stamped the plaid background in Peach Pie ink using the Sketched Plaid stamp. I adhered this to the top of the Peach Pie card base. Next, I cut a 2" x 4-1/8" piece of the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper (DSP) and attached it to the bottom of the card base, leaving a 1/8" border of the card base visible on all sides.

Then, I used the Nested Essentials dies to cut out two labels: one from Peach Pie cardstock and one from Thick Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment onto the white label and layered them in the center of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Next, I took a scrap piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and stamped the cute mouse image with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the mouse with Gray Granite Stampin' Blends and added a pop of color to the little heart with Petunia Pop Stampin' Blends. I attached the mouse to the left side of the labels using Stampin' Dimensionals.

To finish the card, I added a Thick Basic White cardstock layer inside the card. I used the little hearts die from the bundle to cut out hearts at the top of the cardstock and adhered it with Multi-Purpose adhesive. Finally, I added a few In-Color Resin Dots to the card front. Voila!
