I used the stamp set Healing Hugs and the Brights 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to create a quick and easy card to share with you today. After stamping my sentiment in Gorgeous Grape, I cut it out with the Layering Squares Framelits using the Big Shot and then cut two more in Gorgeous Grape and Coastal Cabana. Quick and Easy! (more…)

The brand new Stampin’ Blends are in stock! Eleven brand new colors are now available for purchase! You can purchase them individually or buy them as a combo pack (there’s no price difference). Each color has a light and dark shade and you can do some shading if you have both, so my recommendation would be to buy the combo pack. If you have never tried the Stampin’ Blends and you want to see what they’re all about, try several LIGHT pens in several colors. You can always layer your color with the LIGHT pen to get a darker hue. When I color with other mediums, I hate that you can see the lines where I’ve colored. When using the Blends, I get a smooth look. I love these pens!!
At the end of the post, I’ll have a supply list of all the new pens. If you’d like to go directly to my Stampin’ Up! online store where you can see all of the Stampin’ Blends available, click here.
Starting on Sunday, July 1st, Stampin’ Up! is having a Designer Series Paper Sale! You’ll be able to choose from select papers and when you buy 3, you’ll receive 1 free! The sale will last all month long, but I’d order early to be sure what you want is in stock.
If you want a quick and easy card, this is it! Grab a beautiful paper, add a sentiment and you’re good to go! I used Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper which includes (48) 6″ x 6″ sheets with 4 each of 12 double-sided designs. I cut the paper down to 5″ x 3-3/4″ and layered it on top of a piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock and then both went on a Soft Sea Foam card base.
The sentiment is from the stamp set, All Things Thanks, and I stamped it in Shaded Spruce onto a piece of 3-3/4″ x 1-1/4″ Whisper White cardstock. It’s attached to a piece of 3-3/4′ X 1-1/2″ Calypso Coral. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before attaching it to the front of the card.
Here’s another sample with all the same dimensions. The paper is also from the Garden Impression paper pack and I used Soft Sea Foam and Melon Mambo cardstock.

Today I have a treat holder and a video! I wanted a little box that would fit a Hostess Ho Ho inside but you could fill it with candy or anything else on the small side. Did you know that Ho Ho’s are no longer wrapped in foil? It makes sense in this day and age for them to be completely wrapped but I was kinda disappointed when I didn’t see little foil packages inside the box.
I used Granny Apple Green cardstock for the bottom of the box and this color is now my new favorite Stampin’ Up! green. So pretty and cheerful! The top is also Granny Apple Green and it’s from the Brights 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (all the Brights colors are included in the package). The sentiment is from the new stamp set, Treat Time, and was cut out with one of the dies in the Petite Treats Framelits Dies (save 10% when you purchase the bundle which includes both of these products). Granny Apple Green Textured Weave Ribbon was used to wrap around the box (I love this ribbon). Check out the video below and see how easy it is to make this box! (more…)
Unfortunately there are times in our lives when we need a condolence card. One of the stamp sets featured on my card today, Kindness & Compassion, is a sentiments only stamp set that’s just perfect for those times when you want to express that you care.
The rose on my card is from a stamp set called Healing Hugs. This set is from a new stamp line from Stampin’ Up! and it was made using a patent pending process that creates realistic looking images. Normally you would need to stamp several different stamps to achieve the look that you get with just stamping once. Stampin’ Up! has named this new line of stamps, Distinktive. The video below, from Stampin’ Up! will show you what makes this type of stamp so unique and what’s included in the stamp set, along with some ideas for using it. (more…)
