Sweet Ice Cream With Sprinkles on Top!

Lovin' the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set for fun birthday cards!  I think a DQ gift card would be the perfect treat to put inside!  You can watch my Tuesday Night Stampin' Club Live video's replay by clicking the image below to see how I put this card together step by step as well as how to two-step stamp with the stamp set.

 

As you may know, I love DSP...Designer Series Paper!  It's so simple to pull together a great project with DSP as a starting point.  Use the colors from the paper for your ink choices, choose from quite a few designs for layering & elements, and even cut out a focal image for your card.  The Ice Cream Corner DSP is a perfect scoop!

The greeting on my card is stamped in Blackberry Bliss and Terracotta Tile on a 1" x 4-1/4" strip of Basic White, with one punched end and diagonal trim on the other to line up along the DSP layer.  The Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles adhered with liquid glue add a li'l something to the card.

My friend watching my LIVE video helped me decide which colors and patterns to use for my tag below.  It was so fun to have an interactive demonstration!  You'll notice the super-cute mini popsicle sticks that I happened to have on hand since my daughter ordered 150 of them thinking they were the normal size...but that's OK...because in miniature is just so cute!

Join me for a virtual workshop

Cherry Blossoms Bloom

With the upcoming retirement of Rococo Rose, I knew I wanted to use the color with my beloved cherry blossoms from the Forever Blossoms stamp set.  And it's the perfect time to create these projects since actual cherry blossoms are getting ready to bloom soon!

The projects in my video were inspired by samples made from the awesome concept artists at Stampin' Up! last year when this set debuted.  I changed up a few elements to create my cards.  I hope you're inspired!  

Be sure to scroll down to see the list of supplies used.

You can watch my Facebook Live video to see how I colored these blooms and as well as another card in which I used the watercolor pencils.

The card below was what I made after filming.  I typically keep stamping after my weekly video since the creative juices get flowing!

Butterfly Box to Celebrate Spring!

 

Celebrated spring today with stampin' friends by making some projects with the Butterfly Brilliance Collection!  These little treat boxes would surely brighten someone's day. The Butterfly Brillance stamp set and Brilliant Wings Dies (along with the 10% discounted Bundle) are early release products from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.

Unfortunately, the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper is sold out, but I'm sure there will be another beautiful coordinating Designer Series Paper in the upcoming 2021-2022 Annual Catalog!  It will be released in May, but we Demonstrators will get to see it next week!  And we get to preorder products in April!  Like the new 2021-2023 In Colors!

Now on to the details of my project...my inspiration came from those insect exhibit case displays and the Natural Touch Specialty Paper was the perfect backdrop.  I used the Foam Adhesive Sheets to fully pop up my Stitched Rectangle frame.

The ribbon pull was made with the Scalloped Linen Ribbon in Terracotta Tile...an In Color 2019-2021which will be retiring soon!  You can see below how I created the ribbon pull by punching a hole in the side of the box, threading both ends of the ribbon through the hole, and tying a knot on the inside to secure it.
