Hello Cupcake Sale-a-bration 2019 Bridge Card

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by again! I'm so glad you are here. I want to share a fun card with you using the Hello Cupcake Sale-a-bration stamp set. I'm really going to be sad when this stamp set leaves us at the end of the month. But, sadly, all great things do come to an end and Sale-a-bration is one of them. It ends on March 31st for another year. So, I do suggest, if there is anything on the Sale-a-bration list that you want, now is the time, because everything is currently "while supplies last" so as supply is depleted, items are being discontinued. Yes, sad it is indeed.
Anyway, today's card is the popular Bridge Card design. And OMG! It's so easy! But so fun!
So, here is my list of supplies with measurements:
Gorgeous Grape CS 4 1/4" x 8"; scored along the 8" side at 1 1/4"; 2 1/2"; 5 1/2"; and 6 3/4" and for the bridge a piece cut 1 1/4" x 5 1/2"
How Sweet It Is DSP 4 pieces 1" x 4" and for the bridge, 1" x  1/4"
Coastal Cabana 2 3/4" x 4"
Whisper White 2 1/2" x 3 3/4" and scraps for the cupcake
Coastal Cabana Ink
Gorgeous Grape Ink
Highland Heather Ink

Fold on all the score lines creating a gate-fold card with the ends folded back. Adhere DSP to the panels. Stamp the sentiment onto the piece of Whisper White CS in Gorgeous Grape and adhere to the Coastal Cabana panel and adhere to the inside center of the card. Then stamp another sentiment directly onto the DSP for the bridge also in Gorgeous Grape ink and layer onto the bridge CS. Using a strong adhesive such as Tear n Tape, adhere the bridge to the outer flaps of the card base, making sure to keep the bridge straight. Next stamp the cupcake wrapper in Coastal Cabana; and the frosting in Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather. Cut these pieces out using your Paper Snips and add to the bridge with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this quick and simple card and I hope it has encouraged you to try a Bridge card. And if you do, be sure to stop back here and share your results. I would LOVE to see.

Birthday Cheer Pop Up Card

Hello and good morning! I'm so glad you could join me today! I have a really fun card to share with you. I saw Ronda Wade create a pop up card like this last week and I knew I had to give it a try using the Birthday Cheer bundle. I just love this bundle as it is the PERFECT birthday set as just looking at it invokes a smile and a feeling of fun and excitement....all those feelings a birthday should create.
The Designer Series Paper is from the How Sweet It Is collection found in the 2019 Occasions catalog. I love the bright colors in this paper along with the sweet, fun designs. Here my colors are Coastal Cabana, Mellon Mambo and Whisper White; but what makes this card so special is the inside. When the recipient opens this card, they are greeted with a sweet and unexpected surprise! Upon opening this fun card, 4 sweet cupcakes pop out! To color these sweet cupcakes, I used my Blender pens and ink pads then added some clear Wink of Stella for a little shimmer and shine. I love that stuff and can never get enough of it.
If you would like to view the dimensions and watch as I make this card, just watch the replay of my live video at http://bit.ly/2EgQYdr.
Oh, and while I'm thinking of it, Stampin' Up! has added a few more items to Sale-a-bration, you can check those out here in the newly released flyer @  http://bit.ly/2DQnSQx

Well, that's all for today. Have a terrific Tuesday my friends, until next time, Happy Stamping,

New Catalog and Product Picks!

Hey there and happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! I had a nice quiet one myself. Hubby had to work the weekend, but he did have Labor Day off, but he spent the day mowing our mammoth lawn and then he grilled chicken out on the grill for us....YUM. 

Anyway, I wanted to remind you that the new Holiday Catalog goes live tomorrow! OH-EM-GEE! Have you looked at all that awesomeness? I mean seriously! I will be doing a FB Live to walk you through the catalog tomorrow night on my FB page, I'll be on a 7PM EST. I would love to have you stop on by and hang out with us. There are a few things I want to make sure you take note of, one item in particular is my Product Pick for this week. It is the Take Your Pick Tool! This multi-tool is really the bomb-diggity to the paper crafter. I mean seriously! This tool does it ALL. It's got a putty end (that is refillable) for picking up those teeny tiny little slippery sequins and small pieces of paper that need to land in just the right spot. The other end has 2 reversible tips, 1 reversible tip is a scoring tool, with both a large nib and a small nib. The second reversible tip has a piercing tool on one end and a flexible spatula on the other end which is PERFECT for picking up those awesome adhesive backed embellishments like the Adhesive Backed Sequins, rhinestones and pearls!

I used this tool to add my sequins to this cute fun fold card I did on my FB Live Sunday evening. The tool sure did get a lot of ooohs and aaaahs! Well, the card did too, but the multi-tool was the star of the show for sure. 
 
I had a lot of fun making this card too. I just love the Country Home stamp set! It's just so me! I totally fits my home decor and my whole "country living"....yes, I do live in the woods lol. If you would like to see how I made this card, step by step, with measurements, visit my YouTube channel. While you're there, please take a second to subscribe. I would greatly appreciate it. 
Until next time, Happy Stamping,

Pocketful of Sunshine Gift Card/Cash Holder

Good Morning and Happy Thursday! Well, I'm over the moon excited! I've officially registered for my very first Stampin' Up! OnStage event for November! Ready or not Orlando, here I come! (Make sure you're following my FB Business Page because I will be sharing as much as I will be allowed to share.
In the meantime, I have a fun card to share with you. I actually did this card during a FB Live this past Sunday. It's a fun card and is perfect for sending those new college bound students off with a gift card or a little "pocket cash"!
I am really falling in love with this new Balmy Blue. It pairs beautifully with Night of Navy and the Daffodil Delight as you can see here. I think this card really pops with these pretty colors.
To recreate this card, you will need the product listed below. Everything is linked to my online store to make your shopping experience easier.

Measurements:

Night of Navy card base: 4.25" x 11" scored at 5.5" and 2.75"
In Color 2018-2020 DSP: 4" x 5.25"
Balmy Blue: 4" x 4" to cut out the pocket shaper
Whisper White: Large enough to die cut the largest layering shape from the Stitched Seasons dies
Daffodil Delight: Large enough to die cut the largest layering shape from the Stitched Seasons dies

Assembly:

Begin by running the Balmy Blue through the Big Shot with the Pocket die set and run the Whisper White and Daffodil Delight pieces through the Big shot with the largest layering die from the Stitched Seasons Framelits. Fold over the Night of Navy with the first score line to make a standard card base. then, fold back on the second score line creating the Z Fold. Adhere the Daffodil Delight die cut to the outside flap. Add the DSP to the inside of the card base and layer the Whisper White die cut on top, taking care to line it up with the Daffodil Delight to hide it on the inside. 

Next, stamp the "stitching" onto the pocket with Sahara Sand ink and the the sentiment using Night of Navy ink. Add adhesive, preferably Tear & Tape to the pocket tabs and adhere to the card front. Add rhinestones to the corners of the stitching and that will complete your gift card/cash holder. 

I hope this card inspires you to give it a try. It was a lot of fun to play with and was so quick and easy. Go ahead, grab your supplies and give it a try. If you would like step by step video instructions, visit my YouTube channel where I uploaded my FB Live session and you will be able to follow along while I make this card. And while you're there, please take a minute to follow my channel, I would greatly appreciate that.
