Beautifully Happy


One of the Sale-a-bration items that you can earn free with a $100 product purchase is the stamp set called Beautifully Happy. You can create beautiful images by stamping an outline and then adding coloring with the detailed stamps. There are also several sentiments to choose from.


In addition to the outline and details of the flower image, I added some background details with one of the stamps and Soft Sea Foam ink. To finish the card, there are a few Iridescent Pearls around the flower and the top two layers are popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.


Supplies:
Beautifully Happy
Memento Black, Highland Heather, Old Olive, Soft Sea Foam ink
Mango Medley marker

Celebrate You


Recently, this card became part of my Stamp A Stack rotation showcasing the Sentimental Park stamp set. 


The die cuts were created with the Split Textures and Stitched So Sweetly dies. Even though the Stitched So Sweetly dies are retired, you will see that I use them quite often because so many sizes of sentiments fit on them.

There are a few Iridescent Pearls added for a little bit of accent as well.


Supplies:
Sentimental Park
Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy ink
Cherry Cobbler, Basic White card stock
Split Textures dies
Stitched So Sweetly dies
Irridescent Pearls




If you are looking for value and versatility in your paper crafting, look no further than the Sentimental Park Stamp Set! Mix and match 16 separate sentiments for maximum card making options. Year-round sentiments include new baby, graduation, anniversary, birthday, love, and so much more! Pair the sentiments with the included floral images or with images from other stamp sets in your collection—the flexibility is unparalleled! There’s even a stamp with a weave pattern you can use with our Stamparatus and the hinge-step technique to create a lovely, stamped ribbon effect or border. Also available in French.

This is a Two-Step Stampin’ set; it allows you to layer two or more images to create one final image with extra texture and dimension in the colors you want.

Around the Bend


While playing around with the Around the Bend dies, I put this card together pairing the die set with the Dainty Designs designer series paper (SAB 2023) and a couple different stamp sets.


I started with an Orchid Oasis base and then layered some designer series paper on Mossy Meadow card stock before adding the circles created with the Layering Circles dies.

The sentiment is from the Happy Labels dies and the leaves are from the Forever Fern stamp set.

On the inside, I also added some designer series paper from the same collection so that it shows when the card is closed and is also easy to write on.



Supplies:
Forever Fern, Happy Labels
Qld Olive, Orchid Oasis ink
Orchid Oasis, Basic White, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive card stock
Layering Circles dies
Around the Bend dies
Dainty Designs (SAB 2023)







There's an easy way to make your handmade cards even more amazing: use the Around the Bend Dies to cut the edge of a card front into a delightful border. Give your cards wavy, curvy borders. Combine dies to create curvy borders with peekthrough designs. This set also includes standalone dies so you can cut accent pieces: flowers, hearts, leaves. These dies are a must-have for any crafter!

* 13 dies
* Largest die: 5-5/8" x 2-1/16" (14.3 x 5.2 cm)
* Use with a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Dies help you create unique die-cut shapes and paper cutouts with just a quick run through your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Detailed dies include ejection holes so you can remove the paper easily.

Ask your demonstrator about coordinating products.

Ride On

My husband and lots of his family members have motorcycles so I thought the Legendary Ride Suite would be a good one to use for their birthday cards. All the products coordinate perfectly together and there are lots of ways to personal the bike images as well.


In the background, I used the Metal 3D embossing folder on Silver Foil, then I added a piece of Dandy Designs designer series paper (SAB 2023) on the side.  


I die cut some retired Foil paper for the overlay on the bike and the die used for the sentiment is from the Something Fancy dies.

Legendary Ride
Memento Black, Pumpkin Pie ink
Basic White, Coastal Cabana, Basic Black, Bermuda Bay card stock

Textured Sympathy


I really love the patterns in the Textured Chic specialty paper and decided to make a few sympathy cards using the pattern with faint leaves over the top of the color and texture. 


In addition to the specialty paper, I added a piece of Crumb Cake card stock embossed with the Painted 3d folder underneath the sentiment layer which was die cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies. 

The sentiment comes from the Peaceful Moments stamp set and the leaves stamped around it are from the retired set called Gorgeous Leaves.

January Stamp Club Projects


This month, we took advantage of some of the Sale-a-bration designer series paper collections in our projects. The Dandy Designs collection, which has 48 sheets of 12" x 12" double sided designs was used for the scrapbook layout along with the 
Something Fancy dies.


The card stock colors used were Balmy Blue, Petal Pink, Coastal Cabana and Fresh Freesia.


The first card uses some items in the Mini Catalog including the Sentimental Park stamp set, Fancy Flora designer series paper and Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls. In the background, we have used the Painted 3D Texture folder on So Saffron card stock.


Lastly, we used the Dainty Flowers designer series paper from Sale-a-bration and the Something Fancy Bundle. There are a few Self-Adhesive Milky Dots used as accents.
