Last night I did my second Facebook Live and I loved it!  I am having so much fun doing them.  I hope you are enjoying them too.  If you missed it, it is further down on this post.

The first project I made was the large gift card or embellishment holder.  I made these for my bingo attendees as part of their goodies for attending.  Inside each one there was a pack of the Heart Epoxy Droplets that are in the 2019 Occasions catalog.  I used the All My Love designer series paper along with the Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets in the Sale-A-Bration brochure.  Both of the papers are so beautiful!  I tried my best to get good pictures of them to show you, but you will see them better in the video and even more in person.  

This holder would work for a lot of the embellishments in the Stampin' Up! catalogs and also for a big gift card.  What I mean about a big gift card is the ones that come with packaging all around the gift card.  I didn't get a picture of the gift card with the holder as I thought of it as I was prepping for my Facebook live.  You will see the type of gift card I am talking about in the video.

To make this project you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

All My Love Designer Series Paper

• cut at 5 3/4" x 8 1/2" score at 2 3/4" and 6 1/2" also score at 1/2" on bottom

Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets

• cut at 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"

Whisper White Cardstock

• cut at 2 1/4" x 2 3/4"

To finish off this project I added three Rhinestones to the sentiment. 

The second project I made was for the Ghirardelli Caramel Duet Hearts candy.  I thought when I bought these that they were the normal size of Ghirardelli's, but they were a rectangle instead of a square.  I love to create my own boxes for things, so I was kinda happy that I needed to figure out one for this delicious candy!  I gave these to my ladies as their thank you gift for attending my Stamp A Stack class last weekend.  

To make this project you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Lovely Lipstick

• cut at 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" score at 1/2", 2", 2 1/2", and 4" and score at 1/2" on the bottom
• scrap for heart

Whisper White

• scrap for sentiment

All My Love Designer Series Paper

• cut at 1 3/8" x 2 7/8"

Sparkle Glimmer Paper

• scrap for heart

I used the 3/8" Classic Weave Whisper White Ribbon and the Lovely Lipstick 1/8" Grosgrain Ribbon.  

Here is the video of how I made both of these projects.

I hope I gave you some inspiration from my projects today.  You can use both of these projects for different occasions just by changing the designer series paper.  

I hope you have a great Wednesday and thank you for stopping by today!

You all know how I love butterflies!  So, of course, I had to make another card with butterflies on it!  Lately I have been drawn to the color purple.  So much so, that I even got my nails painted purple!  Now, that is way out of my comfort zone!  I was looking through my designer series paper and came across this beautiful purple paper in the Botanical Butterfly pack. 

Did you know you can get this designer paper for FREE?!  Yes, FREE!  This paper along with the Butterfly Elements and Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack, that I used on this card, are all in the Sale-A-Bration brochure.  When you purchase $50 worth of products (before shipping/handling and taxes) you can pick out a FREE product from the brochure.  

To make this card you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Highland Heather

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Whisper White

• cut 2 at 4" x 5 1/4"
• cut at 1/2" x 3"

I used two of the Butterfly Elements and then added a little bow made with the Organdy Ribbon.   How cute is that bow!

Any young boy would be happy to get this card for their birthday.  I made this card for my great nephew, who's birthday is next week.  All week you have seen me use the Geared Up Garage stamp set in different ways.  For this card, I used the stamp set again, however, I added another stamp set, Perennial Birthday, for the sentiment.  

Did you notice the paper under the card?  It is a sheet from the Classic Garage 6" x 6" designer series paper!  Did you also notice the gears on the card are the same ones on the paper?  How cool is that!  Yesterday on my Stampin Scrapper Facebook page, I shared a tip on how to cut out the images on the paper.  If you didn't see it on my page, here it is.  

How cool is that!!!  You can get three big group of gears out of every sheet and then you have all the little ones that you can use for other projects.  I added one of the small group of three gears to the top right section.  I thought it looked bare there, so I added more gears.  We are making this card for my Stamp A Stack on Sunday.  I am hoping to have it on Sunday.  I was suppose to have my class last weekend, but we got a foot of snow.  Now, they are saying we could get 5-8 inches of snow this weekend.  If I can't have my class this weekend, then we will try again next weekend!  LOL

For the sentiment I first stamped the background image with a stamp from the Geared Up Garage stamp set.  I used the Gray Granite ink and stamped my image off on a scrap piece of paper first, before I stamped it on the Whisper White cardstock.  I then stamped the sentiment with Black Memento ink.  On the inside of the card and on my envelope I stamped the image you see in the picture above.  I, then popped the Real Red circle using Stampin Dimensionals and used Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the gears.  

To make this card you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Crushed Curry

• cut at 4 1/4" x 11" score at 5 1/2"

Basic Black

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

Real Red

• a piece of scrap paper for a 2" circle

Whisper White

• a piece of scrap paper for the 1 3/4" circle
• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

While I was editing my photos yesterday, I decided to play a little bit.  I have never done a picture in a shape other than a square or rectangle.  This time I decided to try a circle.    I have to say, I like it.

In this picture I love how bright the colors are.  This card is such a bright and cheery card, that you really could use it for anyone's birthday.   

I sure hope my great nephew likes his birthday card!

Here in Ohio we had a snow storm on Saturday and Sunday, which I loved!  Everything is so pretty!  I was suppose to have my Birthday Stamp A Stack on Sunday, but I had to reschedule it because of all the snow we got.  

When I went looking on Pinterest, for ideas and inspiration, I found this card created by Debra Simonis.  I loved it right away and loved how it used the Geared Up Garage stamp set, Garage Gears thinlits and Classic Garage designer series paper all from the Classic Garage suite.  I didn't change a thing on this card, it was perfect the way it was.  Thank you Debra for sharing your great card with all of us!

To make this card you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Real Red

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Basic Black

• cut at 2 1/2" x 3 3/4"

Crushed Curry and Tranquil Tide

• scraps for the gears

Whisper White

• cut at 2 1/4" x 3 1/2"
• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

Classic Garage 6"x 6" Designer Series Paper

• cut at 2" x 4"

I love the gears on this card, but I didn't think about how many I would have to cut out on the Big Shot for 12 people making 4 cards each!!  I cut out 96 of them!  No wonder my arm got so tired, that I had to start using my other arm.  

Here is a picture of the same card using a different piece of designer series paper.  

I popped the layer of black cardstock with Stampin' Dimensionals.  On my envelope and inside of the card I stamped the car that I stamped on the front of the card.

Masculine cards can be difficult at times, I hope this card gives you inspiration for your next project.

This card was created for a special friend for her birthday.  She loves Valentine's Day, so when I saw this paper I thought it would be perfect on a card for her.  I used the All My Love designer series paper, which is in the occasions catalog.  This pack has hearts and flowers in beautiful shades of pink.  I wanted to show my friend that I love her and that she is special to me, so I chose a paper with hearts on it.  

I used Basic Gray ink for the sentiment and Lovely Lipstick for the hearts.  All the details on how to make this card are on the project sheet below that you can download and/or print off.

Brochure.  I know you will find a lot of wonderful ideas from the projects that are shared today.

My favorite stamp set in the Sale-A-Bration brochure is the Lasting Lily along with the Botanical Butterfly designer series paper.  I know you are all very surprised about the butterfly paper!  LOL  I knew they were the first two products I was going to play with.  I love how this card turned out!  I also used another Sale-A-Bration product, the Grapefruit Grove ribbon from the Organdy Ribbon Combo pack.

One of my customers, Stacy, loves Valentine's Day.  When I saw this stamp set, Forever Lovely, I immediately thought of her and how she would love this set.  There are coordinating edgelits, Lovely Flowers, that you can get as a bundle and save 10%.  For this card I only used the stamp set.

In the Sale-A-Bration brochure there is foil paper in the colors of Grapefruit Grove and Lovely Lipstick.  This paper is so pretty!  It is really hard to get the total effect of foil paper in pictures.  It is so much better in person!  I wish I could pull all of you through the computer so you could see it.  

You might have heard about the hashtag simple stamping and this card is exactly that.  Simple Stamping.  What that means is, you make a card using paper, ink and stamps only.  

I have something new for you today!  I have created a project sheet for you on this card.  You will be able to print it off and have it wherever you go.  All of the directions for this card and the products I used to make it and how it was made.   Click the link below

PROJECT SHEET FOR YOU ARE LOVED CARD 

I did my first Facebook Live yesterday!  It was a lot of fun and can't wait to do my next one.  I will be doing a blog post tomorrow that will include my video.  I will be showing you how to make a desk calendar and a post it note holder.   They turned out so cute!

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you have a great Monday and a wonderful week!

When I was looking through the new occasions catalog I was drawn to the Life is Grand stamp set.  There are times that I want a big sentiment so I can make that the focus of my card, and this stamp set is exactly that.  Big sentiments.  My favorite designer series paper in the whole occasions catalog is the Floral Romance pack.  There are two double sided designs and two single sided designs that are on vellum.  I have to say the vellum design I used on this card is my favorite.  It is so beautiful!

To make this card you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Petal Pink

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Fresh Fig

• cut at 1 1/2" x 4 1/4"
• cut at 2 3/4" x 3 1/4"

Whisper White

• cut at 1 1/4" x 4 1/4"
• cut at 2 1/2" x 3"
• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

When I went to attach the vellum to the Fresh Fig piece of cardstock, I really didn't like how the design on the vellum looked muted.   How could I make the design come through, so you can see how pretty this paper is?  I saw the vellum laying on my white craft table and realized that I needed to put a piece of white paper behind it.  I cut it the same size as the vellum so you can't see it.  I then attached it to the Fresh Fig piece of cardstock.  

The sentiment is popped with Stampin Dimensionals and then to finish off the card I put one of the flowers from the Frosted Flower Embellishments.  

This card is a simple card that uses a stamp, ink and paper.  It doesn't get any easier than that!

Tomorrow is my customer appreciation event.  I am so excited!  I can't wait to spoil them.  I have been having so much fun creating projects for them and gifts.  I will have more details next week for you.  I am also going to have an exciting Sunday!  

I am finally jumping in and doing my first Facebook Live!!! I am nervous and excited all at the same time.  I will be doing it on my Stampin Scrapper Facebook page.  I hope you can join me.  Click HERE to go to my Facebook page.

I have a sneak peek for you from the Sale-A-Bration brochure!  When you look in the brochure you will see this card on page 6.  I love how Stampin' Up! gives us so many ideas that we can case (create and share everything) or use for inspiration.  This card is so colorful and cheery.  One thing I like about this card is you can use it for someone of any age.  If you would like it more masculine, you can change the purple to blue or a tan color.  

To make this card you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Highland Heather

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
• cut at 4" x 5"

Whisper White 

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"
• cut at 1" x 1 3/4"
• cut at 2" x 6" for the cupcake

Vellum

• cut at 2 3/4" x 4"

To make the cupcakes shine I added Wink of Stella on each layer of frosting.   I popped up the cupcake, sentiment and piece of Highland Heather cardstock that is stamped.  

On the inside of the card I used the Balmy Blue, Grapefruit Grove and Gorgeous Grape inks.  

I think you are going to see a lot of cards made with this stamp set in the upcoming months.  I know I will be using it a lot.

I have loved working on Christmas projects, but now it is time to move on to something new!  After Christmas I am going to start playing with my new products from Stampin' Up! Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs.  I can't wait!

Have a great Christmas Eve and thank you for taking time out of your busy day to stop in!

Happy Stampin!
