Hump Day Lunch Break- Hearts & Hugs

Tags can be used for oh so many things and can be done with basic dies, punches or even just trimmed cardstock. You can use a tag on a treat bag, gift bag, scrapbook page, and even a card. Today’s lunch break featured the adorable Hearts & Hugs Stamp set and coordinated dies. Check out the Hump Day Lunch Break replay on YouTube. You can always find Hump Day Lunch Breaks on my Facebook Page: My Stamp Studio Facebook Page: https://bit.ly/3YgJfCb /

Step up your tag and add it to a card. The card base here is Peach Pie- a new In Color for 2024-2026. I embossed strips of Peach pie cardstock using the So Swirly embossing folder then adhered the strips to the Peach Pie Card base. Attach the tag and there you go- a quick card.

Trusty Tools Weekly Online Class

Leave a Comment / Cards, Online Card Class /

We all need Masculine cards at some point, So I though now is a good time to start building up that supply with Fathers Day, Birthdays and more jut around the corner what a better way to be prepared. This was my weekly Online Stampin Fun & More Class that is free with a purchase April 11- April 16th. Place a $35 order (retail) in my Online store using this host code: and I will send this class directly to you. I use the shipping information you provide with your online store to know where to send this to. Every class kit contains the precut cardstock, embossed and basic die cut images all prepped for you. you make 2 of each card design. Plus, I email you a color PDF Tutorial with the directions, supplies and measurements so you can make these same cards over and over! Check out my class video on you tube.

I know when I saw the dies that coordinate with this stamp set, I had to have them. Not only do they cut our the tools you stamp and from the Trust Tools Designer Paper- but you can make your own toolbox and stuff it full of tools. I love the peg board die that is also included. Scroll down for a list of all the supplies used in all three cards.

on this fun card, I decided to add the Metallic Plate Embossing folder to my background layer. Plus, I used the Zinnia DSP (which is floral on one side but geometric on the other side using fun and bright colors.) This was actually a pretty quick card. Scroll down for a list of all the supplies used in all three cards.

The third card is super quick and really is just paper and die cuts- okay a stamped sentiment. Buti loved the way this turned out. Scroll down for a list of all the supplies used in all three cards.

Getting ready for warm weather and sunshine?

Leave a Comment / Cards, Products /

I don’t know about you but come March I am ready for spring and summer. I can’t believe here in Wisconsin we had SNOW the first few days of April. Ok, I lied it is Wisconsin where our weather changes by the minute. In December of January we had a 70degree day. Aaah but enough about that, we can’t control the weather, so may as well roll with the changes. Isn’t that a song?

One thing I love to do when its this time of year and I am tired of Winter and the cold, I create cards that make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. That is a good warm feeling, Hot Flashes- not a good warm!

Today I am featuring one of my more favorite Stampin’ Up! Stamps and dies. So many times its hard to image what you can actually create with this bundle. So below are some ideas for you.

You can almost feel the cool refreshing lemonade on this card. I used some of our newer colors to create this card. I used my blending brushes to create a ombre look on the white cardstock. I stamped my images using Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green inks. The layout for this card is pretty simple.

  • Lemon Lolly CS: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″
  • Azure Afternoon CS: 4″ x 5-1/4″
  • Basic White CS: 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″

There is a table of products show below.

This next card I decided to go with a Limeade theme. I used our Subtles Designer Series Paper to really make the Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist stand out. I also colored the ribbon using Stampin’ Up! Blends. I mixed things up by stamping on Soft Seafoam card stock then die cutting the images. it gave the pitcher a little softer look. i like to also add vellum to give the card an additional softness.

Today I pooped on my YouTube channel and did a quick live making this fun fold card. Well it did not turn out as well as I would hav3e liked, but hey sometimes nerves get to us. You will get the gist of the card anyways.

Measurements for the card:

  • Thick Basic White CardstockL 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″4
  • Bubble Bath Cardstock: 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ and 5″ x 3″
  • Basic White Card stock: 2 pieces that are 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″
  • Designer Paper: 2″ x 4-1/8″ and 3/4: x 2-3/4″

Sending Smiles

Who doesn’t need a little pick me up once in a while? While many of us text and email to keep in contact, I truly believe that a handmade card sent in the mail is so much more personal. Send a little surprise to someone’s mailbox. Aren’t you excited when you get something other than junk mail, bills, etc. I am always excited when I get a card- what about you?

Today I am featuring the Sending Smiles Stamp set and coordinating dies from Stampin’ Up! This is also the featured set for todays Hump Day Live. In the US, this stamp set is $22 and the coordinating dies will be on sale April 9th for 40% off. WoooHoo!

Check out these cards!

Hump Day Dinner Break Featuring Sending Smiles

Today’s cards were one designed made simple and then stepped up. I love being able to showcase a stamp set that has coordinating dies, but I know not everyone has a Cut & Emboss machine (yet). So, I like to share how you can still use the stamp set without the dies.
