How to deal with these stressful times

Hello everyone - thanks for stopping by my blog! What is happening all around the world right now is unprecedented. It's important to find positive things to focus on, try news ways to decompress and to keep track of your emotional health now that you will be spending a lot more time at home. 

Why not try crafting a bit each day? My promise to you is to post fun ideas several times a week and to step up my YouTube videos and Facebook Live posts. Dust off those crafting supplies, or place an order for something new and fresh and let's craft together! 

How to make a really fun Easter card

In today's video and project idea, I am going to show you a really fun way to make an Easter card when you don't have an Easter themed stamp set. 

To help me make my card I used the Itty Bitty Greetings and So Many Stars (now retired) stamp sets. I love Itty Bitty Greetings because it has so many phrases for so many different occasions!

Itty Bitty Greetings Cling-Mount Stamp Set
$36.00

 

 

 

I also used some of my In Color designer series paper - did you know that you can purchase a pack of designer paper for each color collection and In Color series? With each pack you get 40 sheets of patterned paper: 4 each of 2 double-sided designs in 5 In Colors. Each sheet in the pack is 6" x 6". 

2019–2021 In Color 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper
$11.50

 

 

 

 

 

 

As I already wrote, I used the So Many Stars stamp set for my background. This set, sadly, is retired but no worries: you can use your favorite background stamps on your card design. 

Here's my card and as promised in my video, I have created a second idea with a repeating pattern. See below!

Stamp sets: Itty Bitty Greetings (151331); So Many Stars (retired)

Ink: Purple Posy

Paper and cutting dimensions:
        Purple Posy: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"; 3" square
        Granny Apple Green: 3" square
        Pineapple Punch: 3" square
        Petal Pink: 3" square
        Balmy Blue: 3" square
        Pineapple Punch designer paper: 5 1/4" 1 1/2"
        Whisper White: 4" x 5 1/4"; 2 1/2" x 3/4"

Other: Mini Glue Dots, Pineapple Punch 1/8" Grosgrain ribbon; SNAIL adhesive, Classic Label punch (141491); Daisy punch (143713)

Here's my second card idea - one that is a bit 'softer' visually. This card uses only two colors and a repeating pattern. Which card do you like best? Leave me a comment below to let me know. 

Here's my video - watch along the way for bonus design tips!

 

How to make a super cute Easter card

Easter is coming quickly and so it's time to think of a super cute Easter card idea. I am here to the rescue with the Welcome Easter stamp set:

Welcome Easter Cling Stamp Set (English)
$20.00

 

 

 

 

This is the perfect set to welcome Easter and new little ones. A baby chick, a bunny, and a lamb look super sweet on any spring-themed project. The line art images are great for basic stamping techniques; color and customize them using your favorite Easter or baby colors. 

Today's card pairs the Welcome Easter stamp set with the Pleased as Punch and Subtles designer papers to add color and visual interest to the card front. Tip: did you know that all Stampin' Up! color collections have a matching pack of paper - with several sheets and designs in each color? (see below)

See the three colors I chose for this challenge

What fun! This week's Paper Craft Crew weekly challenge is a color challenge. I love these because once you have three (or four) colors chosen the rest of the card design is up to you. 

I love the color choices for this challenge (soft and spring-like) and immediately went to my designer series paper stash to see what I could find. 

And BINGO: I spotted a bit of left over piece of the Tropical Oasis designer paper and upon further investigation in the Mini Catalog (page 39) I see that the colors in this paper are:

• Real Red
• Terracotta Tile
• Grapefruit Grove
• Daffodil Delight
• Mango Melody
• Pear Pizzazz
• Old Olive
• Pool Party
• Pretty Peacock
• Soft Suede

So two of the three colors are in this paper and I figured that Daffodil Delight is close enough to So Saffron that a lil cheat won't hurt anyone. 

Next was trying to find a stamp set that matched this fun paper design. I chose the Colorful Seasons stamp set and Seasonal Layers dies:

Colorful Seasons Photopolymer Stamp Set
$27.00

Seasonal Layers Dies
$33.00

 

I chose these two products because I liked the beach chair and flower dies and thought they would be fun to use. I tried a few versions of deck chair color until I was satisfied and then added the flower as a simple embellishment. Anything more than that might compete with the paper pattern.

I also decided to create a scallop bottom to my designer paper for a fun added touch and then the Layering Squares dies for the deck chair to add a second scallop touch. 

Here's my card:

 

Now it's your turn! Try our color challenge for the week and see what you can create using what you have on hand. If you want to see what the other design crew members created this week, click here to link over to the Paper Craft Crew site. 

How to use your stamps in a bullet journal

Do you bullet journal? I have been bullet journaling for just over a year now. I find that I keep on track of my goals, I stay focused and I never lose track of what needs to be done each week and month.

At the beginning of each month it is so much fun choosing a theme. I usually look on Pinterest and this month my April page was inspired by a card that used the Under My Umbrella stamp set. Just so you know, the stamp set has a coordinating punch that's fun to use on designer paper!

Under My Umbrella Photopolymer Stamp Set (English)
$16.00

 

 

 

 

 

I stamped the umbrellas, boots and flowers using a permanent black ink, and then chose four Stampin' Write markers to color with:

• Bermuda Bay
• Pineapple Punch
• Granny Apple Green
• Smoky Slate

 

I haven't finished my April weekly pages yet and hope to include some of these elements there. Watch my Pinterest Bullet Journal board for future photos for April! 

 

See how to take Christmas into spring with a simple card

I had such fun creating today's card and video tutorial! I knew the design I wanted to create and the colors I wanted to use but had quite the time choosing the background image to use. Until I spotted the Merry Christmas to All stamp set. There is one cute swirl image that was perfect for the background on my card. 

Merry Christmas To All Photopolymer Stamp Set
$27.00

 

 

 

It's funny but for the first time ever I started my card design by choosing my embellishments and letting them determine the colors for my card. I earned Metallic Baker's Twine & Sequins combo pack for free during Sale-a-bration and love it. They add the perfect finish to handmade cards and other paper projects. The twine has metallic thread woven through for delicate glimmer.

Metallic Baker’S Twine & Sequins Combo Pack
$0.00

 

 

For the repeating phrase I used my Good Morning Magnolia bundle. If you love this bundle as much as I do, then check out my recent Facebook Live video where I share a bunch of cards using it. 

Good Morning Magnolia Bundle
$63.75

 

 

 

 

My card is clean & simple (a stamping technique) but it can easily be jazzed up using the ideas I share on my video below.

Good Morning Magnolia hello

I think this card could be sent to a woman or a man because of the color choices. Here's a side view:

Stamp sets: Good Morning Magnolia (bundle: 151087); Merry Christmas to All (147702)

Ink: Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, So Saffron

Paper and cutting dimensions:
        Whisper White: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"; 3 1/2" x 1 3/4"
        So Saffron: 1" x 4"

Other: Metallic Baker's Twine & Sequins Combo Pack (152314); SNAIL Adhesive, Mini Glue Dots, Fine Tip Glue Pen

And here's my video tutorial: 

You don't want miss out of these five fabulous colors

Every year, Stampin’ Up! introduces five new “In-Colors” that are available for only two years. The reason they do that is to stay current with color trends, and as you know trends are just that, trends and they fade away over time - great strategy Stampin' UP!

 

This means these five colors introduced in June 2018 will ‘retire’ (no longer be available to order) as of the end of May 2020.

 

• Lovely Lipstick
• Blueberry Bushel
• Pineapple Punch
• Grapefruit Grove
• Call Me Clover

Lovely Lipstick Classic Stampin' Pad
$7.50

Blueberry Bushel Classic Stampin' Pad
$7.50

Pineapple Punch Classic Stampin' Pad
$7.50

Grapefruit Grove Classic Stampin' Pad
$7.50

Call Me Clover Stampin' Pad
$7.50

 

And when these five colors retire so do all their associated products, such as ribbon, embellishments, ink refills, card stock, and so on. Anything with these colors in them will also retire. 

 

When do these products retire forever? The end of May - BUT.....they fly off the shelves by the end of April and are completely sold out the first week of May.

 

That's why I am writing about them today. If you love these colors, why not stock up on card stock and ink refills now and earn FREE Sale-a-Bration products as a bonus!

 

Click the shopping cart image on the right side of this page to link over to my online store. Trust me, this the perfect time to stock up and then you can sit there smiling pretty the first week of May when the 'sold out' notice goes up!

Hope is the power that makes all things possible

I love this phrase from the Power of Hope stamp set and I also think it the especially appropriate for what the world is experience today.

Power Of Hope Bundle
$0.00

 

 

I chose this phrase as part of my design for this week's Paper Craft Crew card map challenge and used my Rectangles Stitched dies to frame it:

To create my card I started with choosing the paper and colors that caught my eye as I dug through my stash. I love the Lily Impressions designer series paper and found a pattern that I thought would work well. 

Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper
$0.00

 

 

 

Then I let the design dictate the rest of the design:

• A strip of Coastal Cabana
• 5 From My Heart Faceted Gems (151154)

And then I encountered a bit of a slow down. I didn't know what to use for the flower embellishment. After digging back through my stash I spotted my Colorful Seasons stamp set and Seasonal Layers dies.

Colorful Seasons Photopolymer Stamp Set
$27.00

Seasonal Layers Dies
$33.00

 

Taa-Daa! My card is complete and ready to share with you.

Do you know how to use decorative masks?

And I don't mean masks to cover your mouth! (sorry, my humor is a bit off this week)

In today's video I am going to show you how to create a really pretty birthday card idea using the Pattern Party Decorative Masks. 

I was cleaning out and organizing my crafting closet this week and came across some products I had forgotten I had (eek). That quickly ended my organizing because I immediately wanted to craft with them. Here's what I found:

Pattern Party Decorative Masks
$6.00

Daisy Punch
$18.00

Medium Daisy Punch
$16.00

I haven't played with the Pattern Party Decorative Masks for a very long time so I thought I would grab my Stamping Sponges, some ink pads and a mask to see what I could create. You will see below in the list of supplies that I used that I suggest washi tape for this project - watch the video below to see how to use washi tape to protect your project and mask and keep your mask from slipping.

And the daisy punches! I hardly use punches anymore and I had forgotten how easy and quick they are to use. I see many more ideas using punches in my near future so stay tuned.

You need to try this fun get well tulip pot

Today I have a unique get well idea - one that is super fun to make and whoever receives it will marvel at your crafting talent! I have already stated on  a recent Facebook Live that I want to give you lots of get well ideas and this fun Timeless Tulips pot. 

First have a look at the Timeless Tulips bundle - from the Mini Catalog:

Timeless Tulips Bundle (English)

This fun bundle is very versatile - it can be used for many occasions. And as I work in Holland right now it is almost tulip season although I don't think any tourists will be able to see them in the fields this year. I am not sure I will be able to see them either, sad face. It truly is a sight to behold and the center at Keukenhof has displays that would make you say 'oooh' and 'ahhh'.

4. Fold Terracotta card stock in half, cut from the fold in about 1/2” out to the edge of the score line toward the top. Keep the wedge you just cut off and flip it over to the opposite side of the card to use as a guide to cut the other edge of the “pot”. Fold the top of the card down to create the “pot” (no need to glue, but could tack the top with a glue dot)
5. Stamp “Get Well Soon” in center of copper strip using StazOn. Put the end strip through the back of the Everyday Label punch and punch both ends, leaving room for a circle punch on the ends. Punch holes on each end with small circle punch and tie copper plate around the front of the pot, using dimensionals to hold sentiment in place.
