Stampin’ Up! Abstract Impressions
Yesterday was the Glitter Queens Blog Hop where our theme was red, white and blue. I thought I’d continue using these beautiful colors one more day! If you missed the hop yesterday, you can start here! (more…)
Glitter Queens Blog Hop – Red, White and Blue
It’s time for the Glitter Queens Blog Hop! In honor of the 4th of July, our projects are all about Red, White and Blue! I hope you’ll visit all the Glitter Queens in the hop today!
At first I wasn’t sure what to create for this month’s theme but then inspiration hit and I created two cards! This first one uses the stamp set Ride with Me. I don’t think I’ve ever purchased a truck stamp before but when I saw this stamp set, I just had to have it. So cute and so versatile!
I actually did two versions of the card. Which one do you prefer? The one with the red mat or no mat? (more…)
Stampin’ Up! Bloom & Grow
Stampin’ Up! catalogs are filled with cardmaking ideas! The inspiration for today’s card came right from the catalog on page 131.
I used the Bloom & Grow Bundle which includes the Bloom & Grow stamp set and the Budding Blooms dies. Did you happen to notice the scalloped edge above & below the sentiment? That was done using the two top dies in the picture below. I love that I can do both edges at the same time!
Directions for Today’s Card
All the products I used are in the Supply List below. Simply click any of the images and you’ll be directed to my Stampin’ Up! online store.
- Cut a piece of Pool Party cardstock that measures 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. Score at 4-1/4″ and fold in half.
- Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock that measures 5-1/4″ x 4″. Place inside the Tufted Embossing Folder and run through a die-cutting machine. Adhere to the front of the card using Snail.
- Stamp (2) flower images from the stamp set Bloom & Grow onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink. Color both images using Stampin’ Blends: Light & Dark Pool Party and Light & Dark Granny Apple Green. Cut both out using the Budding Blooms Dies.
- Stamp the sentiment onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink. Place the two scalloped dies above and below the sentiment and run through your die-cutting machine. Snip off at the ends. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back.
- Using Snail, adhere both sets of flowers to the front of the card. Attach the sentiment between them.

Online Card Class (previously known as Card Kit Extravaganza)
Do you love creating cards but struggle with ideas? Does being able to sit down and create when it fits into your busy schedule sound appealing? Then my monthly online card class is for you! This month I designed three cards using See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper and the Daisy Lane stamp set. When you place an order at my Stampin’ Up! online store AND use my special host code (XAZ4CZ3M), you’ll receive all the paper and embellishments needed to create six cards, two of each design. My July Online Card Class is only available for a limited time!

- Use my special July Online Card Class Host Code when placing your order.
- Place your order on or before Wednesday July 10, 2019.
- If your order reaches $150 or more, please do not use the host code so you can receive Stampin’ Rewards (free product directly from Stampin’ Up!). After I receive your order, I will contact you via email to verify that you’d like the Online Card Class.
Here’s What You’ll Receive:
- All the paper and embellishments needed to make 6 cards (2 each of three designs). The paper will be scored, embossed, punched and die cut for you!

Supplies You’ll Need
Listed below are the supplies, not included in your kit, that you’ll need to complete the cards (or you can substitute any of these products with what you already own). Click any of the products below and you’ll be taken to my online store. When placing your order, don’t forget to use the special July Online Card Class Host Code to receive your free card kit, PDF tutorial, and video link.
Please note: ** Two of the cards this month require the Medium Daisy Punch and the Daisy Punch. For one of the cards, I will punch the daisies out of Designer Series Paper & Vellum for you. The daisy on the other card needs to be stamped using the Daisy Lane stamp set. It is much easier to stamp first and then punch but I’m unable to send stamped images to you per Stampin’ Up! guidelines. Therefore, I will punch the daisies out of Whisper White cardstock and include them in your kits so you can complete the cards. I will also supply a piece of Whisper White paper so you can stamp the daisies first and then punch them out yourself in case you already have these punches and stamp set or purchase them as part of your order.
Bundle Alert: You can purchase the Daisy Lane stamp set and the Medium Daisy punch separately but when you purchase the Daisy Lane Bundle which includes both of these products, you’ll save 10%! I’ve included the Bundle in the Supply List below.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!
