April 2021

I felt bad that I had to miss my facebook live with everyone last night. I did put a video out there so you did have something to see, but I missed connecting with all of you. So, tonight I did a little extra live with a bonus. A Free tutorial to tonight’s card. I wanted to say Thanks for being there for me and I wanted to give you all a little something back. Here is the front of the card. I had so much fun making this with all of you. And you know that these colors make me happy. (But, I think I may have a new favorite color…Stampin’ Up!s new 2021-2023 In Colors are fabulous I must say. Make sure to check out my Catalog Launch Party Friday May7,2021 at 7pm central.

Here is the inside of the card, I used the small Snail and cut out with the die cut. notice that the You’ve Got Mail sentiment is not there. That’s right the die will just cut the snail for you! Howe awesome is that. I added the envelope on a whim as I wanted to share some of the other things in the Dies. There are 13 dies that coordinate and complement this stamp set. I used various blends to color the images but you could use markers, ink pads with blender pens, watercolor pencils… As promised, here is the Free HELLO SNAIL CARD PDF.

The first card was a fun fold card that I originally featured in my Hump Day Lunch Break Live on Wednesday, April 21,2021. That card featured the Timeless Tulips stamp set and I used it to make a Mother’s Day Card. You can see more details below.

This fun fold is so easy to make I just had to share it again using the Snailed it Stamp set. I wanted to make this a quick and easy card so I used the Designer Paper to do all the work for me. I just love that Stampin’ Up! has coordinating colors, designer paper and stamp sets. It saves so much time knowing that all the products will work together. This card is unique in that it does not have the standard 5 1/2″ 4 1/4″ card base that opens. It actually has a front flap that opens and displays a message right underneath your focal point. You can watch the video on my Facebook Business page: My Stamp Studio. I’d love if you stop by and like my page. Leave a comment letting me know you are watching the replay and what you think of the Fun Fold. While you are there, you are welcome to join the MY STAMP STUDIO GROUP so you can see all the up and coming lives, shares, projects. I would love to see what you come up with using the supplies you have on hand! Here is the link to the VIDEO

I needed a card for a Birthday I missed. I know it’s hard to beieve that with all the cards I make, I missed sending one out. I need to come up with a better way to remember whose Birthdays and Anniversaries are all coming up…..

I paired the card up with the Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp set, which I am so sad to share that it is retiring and will no longer be available after May 3,2021. If you are looking for a versatile Birthday stamp set I highly recommend it. If you are interested in any of the supplies I used to make these cards, please stop in to my Online Store by clicking HERE or any of the supplies listed below. (note that you can purchase the Stamp Set with or without the Dies)

The second card that was made in the video is more o a feminine card and it is darn cute! This time I switch up the colors and used Blushing Bride and Real Red along with Pool Party. Again, the Designer paper does all the work to make this card adorable. I added a few Resin heart embellishments and a little Blushing Bride Bakers twine to tie is all together. (no pun intended but it does work). Notice the subtle mushroom stamped in the background with Blushing Bride. The Color on Color technique gives the card a bit more depth and adding some dimensionals can really give your card a pop (yes, that was an intended pun).

Today’s Hump Day Live on Facebook featured a fun and easy card using the Dragonfly Garden Bundle. I was inspired by a card that Wendy Lee has made but wanted to show how you can use ink directly onyour embossing folder to give an alternative “stamped” image. I really like the clean and simple look of this card. I used Daffodil Delight and Misty Moonlight and let the white cardstock enhance the colors and images. If you like this Stamp Set and Punch Bundle as much as I do, you will want to register for the Dragonfly Garden Class to Go. You can see all the details on the Classes and Tutorials page
