You need to learn the amazing Scrappy Strip card technique

Today I have created a video showing you the fairly new, and really fun and amazing Scrappy Strip card technique! 

This technique was invented by a Stampin' Up! demonstrator using an indigenous painting he has hanging in his  home. He created the technique using strips of paper - but not cut straight - to emulate the painting. 

For my card I decided that rather than use solid colors (like the originator of this technique did), I would use up some pieces of Country Club designer series paper:

Country Club Designer Series Paper
$11.50

 

 

 

The patterns and colors in this paper pack give off a masculine vibe (to me) so I decide to use the Perennial Birthday stamp set for my phrase and to make a masculine birthday card idea:

Perennial Birthday Cling-Mount Stamp Set
$22.00

 

 

 

There are two key products I think you need for the Scrappy Strip technique: a quality paper cutter and Multipurpose Liquid Glue:

Paper Trimmer
$25.00

Multipurpose Liquid Glue
$4.00

With these two items you can create so many Scrappy Strip cards! 

Here's mine, along with a video showing you this technique step-by-step. 

Perennial Birthday Scrappy Strip Birthday Card

Stamp set: Perennial Birthday (151240)

        Whisper White: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"; 5 1/4" x 1"

        Night of Navy: 5 1/4" x 4"

How to make a Honey Bee gift pocket

In today's blog post I am going to show you a really fun gift idea using my Honey Bee bundle. This cute pocket idea has so many uses and once I show you how to make it you will be able to come up with a bunch of treat ideas to tuck inside!

I chose to use the Honey Bee bundle because I love it so much and know that it will be retiring on 2 June (sad face). 

Honey Bee Bundle
$41.25

 

I also chose a sheet of the Mosaic Mood designer paper because it is also retiring. It is sometimes very difficult to see favorites retire, isn't it? The particular pattern I chose has tiny bees on it which is why I paired it with my Honey Bee stamp set. I love when I notice little things like this and combine products that I have in ways that I haven't done before. 

Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper
$10.15

 

 

 

Did you notice that this paper pack is on sale? Get it soon as it is only available as supplies last! 

To make the pocket you will need a sheet of 12x12 paper. You can use solid paper or patterned paper - make sure that whatever you choose that the paper is thick enough to be scored. The Mosaic Mood paper is a bit thicker than most 12x12 papers so is perfect for this project. For the inside of the pocket, you can then choose a matching or contrasting paper for the holders. 

The biggest challenge for me was using Soft Suede to stamp my bees. I did this because Soft Suede is one of the colors in the Mosaic Mood paper. But then I had to think a bit about how to color the bees when the ink I was using was water based. You can see how I solved this problem on my video. 

I suggest you get all layers created first, then attach any decorations/layers to the front before attaching the inside pieces. In my video I did not do this and you will see that it wasn't easy to add my SNAIL adhesive, lol!

Here's a photo of my Honey Bee gift pocket. 

Here's what you need to make this pocket. Use what you have on hand and see what your pocket looks like!

Stamp set: Honey Bee bundle (153792)

How to create a beautiful Mother's Day box

Today I want so show you how to create a beautiful Mother's Day box using the Painted Poppies bundle.

Painted Poppies Bundle
$52.00

 

 

I am so excited that the Painted Poppies bundle is going to carry over to the next Annual catalog. Except - it will no longer be bundled which means you will pay full price for both items. (Tip: order it by 2 June and you will save 10%)

What is not carrying over are these two products - I am so sad about the Sequins (sniff sniff):

 

Peaceful Poppies Sequins
$7.00

Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper

But I am happy that I got to use them on today's project. In the past couple of weeks I have share some beautiful Mother's Day card ideas. Click here and here to see these cards.

Today I wanted to give you a coordinating idea - a Mini Pizza Box! Think of all the gift ideas you can tuck inside that will make your Mom happy on Mother's Day! This box is super easy to create and if you look closely you will see a fun technique that perhaps you haven't tried yet. (Tip: my video below introduces the technique if you can't figure it out)

See this fun twist on a Mother's Day card

In today's video tutorial, I am going to show you yet another Mother's Day card idea, this time using the Honey Bee bundle. This card has a fun twist to its layout and anyone who gets this card in the mail will get a nice surprise.

I am so sad that the Honey Bee bundle is going to retire on 2 June (or before if supplies run out!). I have had a lot of fun crafting with it:

Honey Bee Bundle
$41.25

 

 

I also know that the Mosaic Mood designer series paper is also retiring. Hint: ALL designer paper in the Annual Catalog retires at the end of that catalog year. 

Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper

I feel that this year I have done well to use up most of my designer paper stash so that there is no guilt when the next catalog goes live and I am loving the new papers there! As a demonstrator we have already had a sneak peek at the new catalog and get to pre-order some products soon. 

Here's my card - I hope you will give this layout a try soon. It's fun and easy and creates a fun 'wow' factor. The video below walks you through it all and provides some bonus tips along the way.

Learn how to make this beautiful fancy fold card

In today's card and video I am going to show you a fun fancy fold Mother's Day card idea using some of the products from the Peaceful Poppies suite:

Painted Poppies Cling Stamp Set
$23.00

Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper
$11.50

 

I also used the Timeless Tulips stamp set for the lovely Mother's Day phrase:

Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set (English)
$18.00

 

 

 

 

 

This fancy fold card idea is really easy if you cut all the layers first and get everything laid out and ready to adhere. As I mention in my video if you don't have a scoring board it is still easy to make this card using a pencil, ruler and bone folder, or lay your ruler down your card and use it as a fold guide. If there's a will there's a way, right?

Here's my video and after you have had a look keep scrolling down to see a second, easier card idea that has the same basic structure. 

As promised on my video, I created a second and simpler card idea using the Bird Ballad paper. It is highly likely that this paper will retire on 2 June so order it now so that you don't see that disappointing 'sold out' notice in my online store:

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!

 

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:

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.

Here's my video, thanks for watching!

Have you taken time to organize/clean your crafting space? Give it a try - you just never know what you might find to boost your crafting fun in the coming weeks. And let me know what other videos you'd like to see; if I have those products I will make a video just for you. 

When was the last time you tried a unique layout?

If it has been a while, then I have a unique layout for you to try the next time you craft. I got this idea from a card I spotted on Pinterest but my final card idea ended up quite differently than the original. Isn't that what often happens? You see an idea and decide to CASE it (Copy and Share/Steal Everything) but as you get into the design you think: maybe I will put this bit here, and that bit there and .... you end up with you own design in the end!

I have created a video showing how to make this card, along with some extra design tips for you to try - keep reading to the end of this post to view the video. 

In my video, I introduced a new product that you can earn for free, only until the end of this month: So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper. 

So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper

If you own this paper you will agree with me how pretty it is up close. If not, I show you the three colors in my video but even that does not do justice. Trust me, it is lovely and comes in three colors - Purple Posy, Pool Party, and Soft Sea Foam - perfect for spring, baby and Easter projects. 

You can see that the So Very Vellum paper is showing as free. This means that you can earn a pack (6 sheets, 2 of each color) with a qualifying order ($50 or €60) but only until 31 March. Here's the link to my online store so you can place an order and choose So Very Vellum as your free choice. 

I also used some bits of the Best Dressed designer paper, because one of the colors in the designs is Purple Posy, the color of my choice for my card.

How to offer the power of hope for your best friend

Sometimes you just want to let a friend know that you care, and to give her hope for some struggles (health or otherwise) she is going through. The Power of Hope bundle has lovely sentiments and images that can help you do just that. In today's video I introduce the Power of Hope bundle and show you one card idea that has a somewhat unique layout. 

Power Of Hope Bundle
$0.00

 

 

 

 

First, let's have a look at this bundle. Power of Hope is offered through Stampin' Up!s Sale-a-Bration, a promotion that is on until 31st March. You can earn the Power of Hope bundle with a $100 product order. So gather your friends, stock up on card stock and other needed supplies; earn the bundle for free and share it around. 

I especially love the Stone 3D embossing folder which is part of this bundle. I see so many uses for it - it is versatile enough to coordinate with other sets and would also be fun to use when memory keeping. 

This week's layout is a bit different too. I layered the image and phrase and then layered them again with each other. This creates a unique visual look. As I said in my video, instead of using Watercolor Pencils you can also color using your Stampin' Blends and Blender Pens and ink pads. It depends on how bright you want the colors to be. 

Here's my card and video:

We are wildly happy about your new little one

In today's card and video tutorial, I am going to show you how to make a super sweet baby card idea. It's that time of year to start thinking about all those new little ones that are going to be coming into the world in the next few months so let's make a card to celebrate their birth. I am going to use the Wildly Happy stamp set and I will combine it with the new Stone 3D embossing folder!

Wildly Happy Cling Stamp Set
$21.00

 

 

 

 

I think the Wildly Happy stamp set is one of the best ever for baby cards. The images are so sweet and the line art images mean that you can colors them with your favorite coloring tools. 

What makes this card really special is that I paired the stamp set with the Stone 3D embossing folder, that is bundled with the Power of Hope stamp set - a FREE Sale-a-Bration choice with a qualifying order:

Power Of Hope Bundle
$0.00

 

 

 

 

I was inspired for my card by an idea that another demonstrator created. Her card looks completely different from mine below but when I saw her use the Stone embossing folder on her Wildly Happy card, I got today's idea - don't you love how seeing what someone else has created can spark a new idea for you? 

I decided to keep my card very monochromatic using Smoky Slate as my base color - it made me think of the color of an elephant and how the elephant's skin looks similar to the Stone 3D folder. 

Here's how to make my card, along with a video tutorial. Don't miss the extra tips on my video!
