August Paper Pumpkin Includes the Best Ever Sentiment for a Sympathy Card

The August Paper Pumpkin kit, Blissful Blooms, makes it super easy to fit crafting pretty cards for friends and family into your schedule. The kit includes watercolor style cards, elegant lined envelopes with silver foil trim, and the best ever sentiment for a sympathy card.

This month’s kit is a great example of why I love the monthly subscription service that delivers an all-inclusive craft kit to your snail mail box every month. Everything is prepped for you to relax and craft a supply of beautiful cards to have on hand as needed. This month’s stamp set includes stamps for sympathy, thank you notes, congratulations and “just because.”

A Multi-Functional Card: More Than a Greeting Card

By | August 17, 2018

Stampin' Up! | Broadway Bound Birthday Gift CardHolder

Cards and gifts, they go together. Today I share a creation to marry the two, card and gift, into one. It’s a multi-functional card.

This multi-functional card template is the little black dress that’s perfect for scads of occasions. This design features the new Broadway Bound Suite and makes a glitzy birthday card and gift card holder.

Open and Peek

Outside the card, the retro style sign shouts a happy message. Open the card to find the birthday message on the right, and a slot to secure the gift card on the left. No slipping and sliding. The slot fits the gift card just right.

Here’s What I Did To Make a Multi-Functional Card

Begin with the 4 1/4 x 11 inch card base scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2 inches. Next, trim 1/8 inch off the side nearest the 2 3/4 inch score. Fold at the 5 1/2 inch score, then fold the short panel inwardly.

Decorate the card by adhering solid and patterned papers to suit your occasion.

Punch a semi-circle notch on the short panel using a 1 1/4 inch circle punch. Add Tear and Tape or Tombow Multi-purpose glue to the top and bottom of the short panel. Do not add adhesive to the notched edge.

Hot Air Balloon for a Birthday Card That Suits All

By | August 8, 2018

Just Stamp | Stampin' Up! | Lift Me Up Birthday

Here’s What I Made

Birthdays are lurking around every corner.  Be ready for them all by keeping your BDay card stash stocked with cards that suit all: young, mature, boys, girls and all the in-betweens.

Today’s BD card idea that suits all is the sum of a colorful equation. Lift Me Up Stamp Set + Up and Away Thinlits + Best Route Designer Series Paper = Card That Suits All

I love the huge Mango Melody hot air balloon. Although the 15-piece die set includes a splashy detailed balloon, I opted for the solid fragments that total the huge balloon. It’s spectacular.

The Blueberry Bushel street map background is one pattern from the new Best Route Designer Series Paper. It was hard to choose the background design since the paper pack includes several that would be perfect.

The finishing detail that makes my crafty heart patter is the exclamation point I added to the birthday greeting. Find it in the Best Route Enamel Shapes embellishment pack. These little self-adhesive beauties are too cool!
