TRY THIS SKETCH!

 Here is this weeks TRY this SKETCH!

Smoky Slate-  3 1/4 x 4 1/4"
Basic White- 3/4 x 3 3/4"

So here is my take on this sketch!
 Here is my card!
It is clean & simple, but cute!
I used the Ice Cream Corner DSP.
 I used the Label Me Fancy Punch for the words.
Here are the Measurements:

Basic White-1 1/4" strip- stamp words onto & punch out with the Label Me Fancy Punch.

Basic White- 4 x 5 1/4"- for the inside of card
Ice Cream Corner DSP- 3 x 3"

Now check out how I stepped up this card!
 For the stepped up card I added an extra layer,
some embellishments, an ice cream cone & 
I made it into a cool shaker card!
How did I make the shaker?
I used a clear envelope, put the 3x3" DSP square into it, 
cut a little off of the top, folded it, added the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles & sealed it up!
You can find the clear envelopes on page 153= #102619= $6.00 (package of 50)

Stampin' Up! Dandelions 3D Embossing Folder

 Check out this simple card!
OH MY GOSH!!
Now how cool is this? 
I love the way it turned out!

I used the Dandelions 3D Embossing Folder & embossed a piece 
of my Oh So Ombre DSP!

But how did I get the dandelions to be white?
It was soooo easy to do!
I just took a fingernail file & lightly rubbed over the 
embossed part of the dandelions! 
 Here is the Dandelion 3D Embossing folder,
along with my embossing done directly onto the Oh So Ombre DSP.
Now check out how I got the dandelions white!
 See how I used my fingernail file & lightly rubbed it over the dandelions.
I then took the Light Old Olive Stampin' Blend 
& went directly over the top of the embossed leaves 
& stems so that they would be green & pop!

NOTE:  Be sure you only rub the fingernail file onto the embossed dandelions, 
as if you rub it on the stems or any part of the dsp- it will rub the color off.
This is a fun z fold card, which means that I folded the front 1/2 of the card backwards.
 
It is quick & simple & I love the way it turned out!
It is a simple wow card & who wouldn't love getting this card!

Here are the measurements & the supplies I used to make this card, so you can make it too!
stamp set:  'Happy Thoughts'

  • Rococco Rose- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"- for card base.  Fold the front piece backwards to make a z fold.

UPDATE on the Strawberry Builder Punch!

The Strawberry Builder Punch-#154239- is a very popular product that is currently not orderable. Stampin' Up! is receiving some more inventory in the next few weeks, but we do not expect that inventory to last long. It will go into backorder and then not-orderable status again once it sells out. There is another shipment on it’s way, but we’ve just learned from our punch vendor that the arrival date for that shipment has moved back again—we are now expecting to receive it at the end of March or beginning of April.

But please note that the Sweet Strawberry Bundle will be carrying over into Annual 2021–2022 Catalog—so you’ll be able to continue selling this bundle throughout the catalog year. WOO HOOO!!!

So if you are holding your Sale-A-Bration order, waiting for this punch, we encourage you to place your order as soon as possible. We will not have any inventory of the punch between now and when Sale-A-Bration 28 February.

Stampin' Up! True Love DSP

 It is Simple Saturday & here is today's quick card 
that I whipped up last night with some left over pieces laying on my stamping table.

I used the True Love DSP!
And I colored it using our NEW Blending Brushes!
The NEW Blending Brushes can be found in the Spring Mini Catalog on page 70.
#153611- set of 3 6' brushes for $12.00.
 
OH MY GOSH!
Yes- they are just heavenly to color with!
The Blending Brush is full of TONS of soft bristles that are super soft.
But their name fits them perfect!!!
All I can say is WOW!
I am totally impressed with them & can't wait 
to find more time to use them again soon.
 I just used my Bumblebee Ink Pad with the Blending Brush
& rubbed it into the center of the flowers to add a splash of color!
And when I was done I just rinsed out my Blending Brush under my kitchen faucet
& it came completely clean!
I pressed it into a towel to remove any access water & left it laying out over night to dry!
Woo hoo- it is all ready to use again with a different color.
Here are the supplies & the measurements so that you can make this card too!
 
stamp set:  'Vine Design'- words

Light Old Olive Stampin' Blend!
 
I hope you have a SUPER Saturday!!

Stampin' Up! Touch of Ink

I love black & white cards.
Here I added splash of Bumblebee to go with it!
This butterfly is from the 'Touch of Ink' stamp set!
This stamp set is a SAB choice that is FREE with a $100 product purchase.

Notice how the butterfly is lighter in the center & darker around the outside edge?
I did the "rock & roll" technique here.
HOW did I DO IT?
  1. I stamped the outline image of the butterfly using my Memento ink pad.
  2. I inked the inside image of the butterfly into my So Saffron ink pad.
  3. Then I rolled the edges of this inside butterfly stamp into my Bumblebee ink pad.
  4. This gives it a shadowing affect.
  5. For some added sparkle you could put some Wink of Stella over the top of it too!
  I love this fun fold!
It is a center fold panel card.
This is what it looks like when it is opened up!
 
These words are from the 'Heal Your Heart' stamp set- 
that is a SAB choice & FREE with a $50 product purchase.
I used sympathy words for this card.
But the words could be changed to be for any occasion!
 
So what do you think?

Here are the supplies & measurements so that you can make this card too!

 Try this sketch!!!

The basic measurements for this are:
Basic Black- 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 5 1/2" for card base
Basic Black- 1/2 x 2 1/2"- for words
Basic White- 3 1/2 x 3 3/4"

So this is my version of today's sketch!
It is the basic look, but check out how I changed it.
 
I made it into a fun fold Valentine's card!
 I used the cute 'Oh Snap' stamp set!
Isn't this crocodile just adorable!
 
Check out the words!
They are from the Playful Alphabet Dies.
And I popped them up using the Foam Adhesive Sheets.
 
I LOVE this plaid DSP called Berry Delightful- that comes 
as part of a bundle with the Berry Blessings stamp set & is a Sale-a-bration choice.
 This is a fun fold!!!  
This is what it looks like opened up!
NOTE:  I will add a piece of Basic White card stock
on the inside of it -3 1/4 x 3 1/4", but forgot before I took the photos.
 
The heart is from the Kiss Punch on page 14 in the Spring Mini.
 
How did I get the plaid crocodile?
  • I stamped the crocodile onto the plaid DSP, using Memento ink.
  • And then cut him out with my scissors.  
  • Using my Stamparatus- I stamped the crocodile again onto a piece of 3 3/4 x 3 1/2" Basic White cardstock.
  • I colored the points on the crocodiles back with the Garden Green Stampin' Write Marker.
  • I then glued the cut out plaid (body) onto the stamped crocodile.
  • I added the small Matte Black Dots for his eyes.
