There are so many wonderful products in the new Mini catalog, including the new Sending Cheer bundle.

 

This bundle includes a stamp set and a coordinating die set – both with 18 pieces. It does have Christmas images (stocking, gingerbread, holly, Santa hat) but it also has images that could be Christmas or any occasion. To demonstrate the versatility of this bundle, try this Card Sketch found on Pinterest.

Before I show you the projects, let’s talk about why to use a card sketch. Do you sometimes need a little crafting inspiration? My first go-to for inspiration is the Stampin’ Up! catalogs themselves. They are full of beautiful projects that really get your creative juices going. If you’re really experiencing a creative block, copy one of the projects that they display next to the stamp set or bundle you’re using. Copy it exactly, and then make it a second time using different colors. 

The other remedy for a creative block? A blank card sketch! Sometime “CASEing” a card from the Stampin’ Up! catalog or website might be hard if you can’t figure out the exact products they used in that sample. This is where card sketches come in handy! Simply go to Pinterest and search “Stampin Up Card Sketches” and you will see a ton of sketches pop up. One of my favorite sketch producers is Mojo Monday. You can even google “Mojo Monday Card Sketches” and click on “Images” and you will see tons of different card sketches to choose from. You may consider searching “Mojo Monday Card Sketches with Measurements” to make it even easier.

For this set of cards, this Mojo Monday sketch was used. Each project features new designer series papers…all are gorgeous – designer series paper is hands down my favorite Stampin’ Up! product. Here are 1 birthday, 3 Christmas cards, and 1 Valentine.

Which one is your favorite? Let me know in the comments section under this post. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can pick any 3 to create a beautiful card

Here's a fun Paper Craft Crew card sketch challenge for you to play with!

This week I struggled a bit with my design as I don't have a lot of stamp sets with leaves (shocker). But then I realized that the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks set has a leaf mask so my decision was made! 

These masks are perfect for 'jazzing' up your paper crafts! Each of the masks has fun and detailed all-occasion designs that will add depth and color to your paper crafting projects, whether it’s cards, gift tags, or gift packaging. The flower and petal masks can help you wish a sunny salutation. Use the argyle patterned mask to create a card that’s cozy and cute for fall. You could also use the masking technique to combine a couple of the masks to create your own unique designs.

You can see the leaf mask on the right. 

I decided to use 3 ink colors that represent fall colors: Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Pecan Pie. Apply the color was super easy thanks to the Blending Brushes. 

Here's my card: 

The phrase for my card comes from the Something Fancy stamp set: 

and is very appropriate as my sister's birthday card will be arriving late this year (sigh). It's always handy to have a stamp that says oops or sorry!

Have you seen this clever fun fold card idea yet?

Today's Paper Craft Crew card challenge makes my heart sing. I have been focusing on fun folds over on my YouTube channel for several months now and so when I saw this challenge I knew I had to find an idea to share with you - one that I could learn myself. 

And BINGO! I found a new and super fun fold idea to learn. 

This fun fold requires a 6" x 6" piece of designer series paper and although this product is running low in my online store, I love it so much that I decided to use one of the designs on my card.

From elegant botanical and floral designs to beautiful color washes, the Hello Irresistible paper was hand drawn digitally to give it a natural, artistic flair that will complement any project. Cut out some of the designs and use them on card fronts or use the paper as background for all-occasion projects—I did both! 

Here's the fun fold I created for our challenge:

And here's a fun surprise when you open it up!

 

If you want a video showing you how to make this card at home, leave me a comment and I will post a video over on YouTube.

Plus, the set includes dies for cutting cute little hearts, gifts, flowers, and stars! Cut out these fun shapes and greetings and add them on your next paper crafting project for a unique layered look.

If you are looking for masculine card ideas, then today's card will meet that need as well, using the super cute Gone Fishing Dies. The dies are bundled with a great stamp set to help you get a lot of crafting mileage each year:

3 Embossing Folders Can Create A Super Easy Card

If you have lots of embossing folders then this is the video for you. I am going to show you how to use 3 of them to create a super easy and beautiful eye-catching card.

 

I will be using the Basics 3D embossing folders.

 

I love that these folders have basic designs that complement any project. Choose from flowers, hobnail-glass dots, and crosshatch designs and add amazing texture to your cards. 

 

You might be thinking: wait a minute here - these are not in the Annual Catalog. And you are right. They are available only as an online exclusive which means they are not in our catalogs but only seen in my online store. Click here (and then on 'New Arrivals') so you can have a look at all of the exclusive products that are offered there.

For the elements on my card I used the Cheerful Daisies bundle (such a great investment!):

You'll love everything you can do with this bundle. Do you like bold and simple stamping? Use the solid images, perfect for quick stamping in one color. Do you want to add detailed color? Use the open line-art images, perfect for watercoloring. The flowers, flower centers, leaves, and stems are on separate stamps so you can create customized flowers. Finish with a sentiment—birthday, thanks, thinking of you, sorry—for unique cards for many occasions.

Here's my card:

When was the last time you tried simple stamping?

This week's Paper Craft Crew Challenge is a simple one (pun intended).

Funny but I find simple stamping quite challenging. I have seen really pretty simple card ideas out there but when I sit to craft it's hard for me to tone it down and think simple. So this week is a challenge indeed. 

Typically simple stamping is just that: stamps, ink and paper. But for my challenge card I needed my Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine (sorry!). I did stick to one bundle, Irresistible Blooms.

That long die-cut element is not one that I use very much so today is the day! I decided to keep my card base and one of the elements Basic White and then for the other elements I chose a leftover piece of the Fresh as a Daisy paper:

I love this paper but usually only use the side with the daisy designs on it. But don't forget that our paper is double-sided and sometimes the 'non-daisy' side is perfect for projects too. 

On my card I die-cut the daisies, added the centers (also die-cuts) and topped off the card with a simple phrase. Add your fave embellishments and the simple card is complete. 

Here's what I created:

If you haven't tried simple stamping yet, I challenge you give it a try. If you want to see what the other design crew members created this week, click here to head over to the Paper Craft Crew website. 

Will you join our fun tic tac toe challenge?

This week's Paper Craft Crew challenge is a fun one! It's a Tic Tac Toe sketch challenge:

 

I knew right away which three I would choose - I am soooo into Vellum right now and so for me that was a no brainer. I am also into watercoloring and so decided to use vellum to create a watercolored background layer for my card. 

Once I had the layers together my card needed a bit more visual interest so I decided to add a few elements using my Sending Smiles stamp set and dies. 

Create thoughtful cards for every occasion with the Sending Smiles Stamp Set. You will brighten someone’s day, offer comfort and strength, send a note of thanks, or birthday wishes. This set includes nine versatile sentiments and thirteen images that arrange to create a wide variety of floral designs. Mix and match blossoms, buds, stems, and leaves for new patterns that can be as simple or complex as you like. These stamps are perfect for a single ink and stamp and you can create backgrounds, borders, or centerpieces. Also available in French.

Sending Smiles is not longer sold as a bundle; it is still available but you have to purchase the stamp set and dies separately. Click the image above to link over to my online store if you want to add Sending Smiles to your craft room stash. 

Here's my challenge card:

Tip: if you want to see how I made this card, make sure to follow me on my Instagram channel. I will post a reel there soon.

Want to add a unique metallic look to your cards?

If you have leftover pieces of cardstock or designer series paper (and who doesn't!) then this is the Paper Craft Crew card sketch challenge for you. 

As usual I decided to go a bit rogue on the sketch to add my own flavor. I chose some leftover pieces of the Dry Brushed Metallics Specialty designer series paper:

You can metallic shimmer to your paper crafting projects with this Specialty Designer Series Paper. This mixed metallic paper combines metallic ink and foil with textural dry brush designs for a unique finish. 

I also chose my Meadow Dies for the circular element - again stepping outside the design box. 

I have definitely gotten my money's worth from this pack of dies. I love wildflowers and using these on my cards adds visual interest. 

Here's my card:

Now it's your turn. What will you create using this week's card sketch challenge? Grab your paper scraps and see what you can come up with.

Learn how to make smiles bloom with this technique

Hello fellow crafters! Today we are going to play around with a product that I don't use that much which is a shame because it adds such visual interest on cards. I am talking about Cardstock Vellum and I have 2 fun ways to show you how to use it. I learned one of the techniques at a recent online event for Stampin' Up! demonstrators. 

 

To create some of the elements on my card I will be using the Irresistible Blooms stamp set, which is perfect for all-occasion projects to say hello or thank you and to make smiles bloom.

 

 

The set is great for coloring opportunities and techniques like I will show you today. There are so many creative possibilities you’ll want to try with this set!

 

I am also using the Timeworn Type embossing folder to add some texture and visual interest on my card. I love the antique look that this folder creates. 

 

 

To create the main element on my card I used the Tailor Made Tags Dies:

Easily add die-cut tags to your next papercrafting project

This week I have a fun Paper Craft Crew card sketch challenge with a tag! 

I planned right away to use my Tailor Made Tags dies (cuz it's easy!) but you can create tags without dies for this challenge. 

I decided to use a leftover piece of Fresh as a Daisy designer series paper on my card base and then chose ink and cardstock colors to coordinate:

I went a bit rogue on the square elements in the sketch. I decided to create two Daisy elements from the Cheerful Daisies dies but not layer them. And I decided no phrase just yet so layered a strip of Early Espresso cardstock instead.

I love how my card turned out, do you?

Let your imagination run wild and have some fun

Here's a unique Paper Craft Crew card sketch challenge, will you give it a try? 

 

There are so many possibilities for this one and I decided that the main layer on my card base would be a bold pattern of designer paper, from the Fresh as a Daisy pack:

The pattern I chose also had me using a new In Colors for the first time: Moody Mauve. And I really love it! 

The Fresh as a Daisy paper is the perfect match for the Cheerful Daisies bundle so I course I used it too: 

There are so many possibilities and color choices that you can just let your imagination run wild and have fun. Here's my card for this week's challenge:
