Sending Smiles

April 3, 2024 / Beth / 0 Comments

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.

Hump Day Lunch Break – A Not So Masculine Card

I added a bit of Petal Pink to soften up the card and used the Let’s Go Fishing designer paper which is on sale this month!

Resisting Fall Colors

October 27, 2022 / Beth / 0 Comments

I don’t’ know about you , but one of my most favorite thinga about fall is the changing of the leaves. They go from various colors of green to yellow, orange, red, purple. It is one of the most gorgeous times of the year here in Wisconsin. The fall colors inspired me to use Blackberry Bliss and well if you are going to use that color, you may as well add in Rich Razzelberry and Fresh Freesia. Stampin’ UP!s colors coordinate so well together. And you know that the cardstock, ribbon, inks etc will all match. It’s granimals for adults.

Today’s Hump Day Lunch Break (featured as a FACEBOOK LIVE and them Uploaded to YouTube features the Soft Seedlings Stamp set and the wonderful colors mentioned above.

Measurements

Fresh Freesia Cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″
Blackberry Bliss Cardstock: 5-1/4″ x 4″
Basic White Cardstock: 5″ x 3-3/4″, scrap for label
Rich Razzleberry Cardstock: scrap for punched image

Here are just a few more card ideas. Staying with the Color Resist Technique, I tried out using Very Vanilla cardstock as well as Basic white cards stock with Soft Succulent and Soft Suede inks. I mounted the card fronts to Evening Evergreen cardstock to given them some depth. This time I changed up the sentiments that were used. I chose the Charming Sentiments and coordinating Sentiment Silhouettes dies. Did you know that you can bundle the two and save 10%? You can check it out in my Online Stampin’ Up! store
