When I make cards for my family, especially the kids, I try to make them to reflect what they like. When I saw the Hey Sports Fan suite in the Stampin' Up! mini catalog I knew I was going to use it for my nephew's daughter, Raigen.
Raigen is an awesome softball player! We are so proud of her and her hard work she puts into everything she does. This picture is of her playing her favorite position, catcher. So of course, I had to include the sheet in the Hey Sports Fan designer series paper that had the catcher designs on it.
I actually used 2 different pieces of designer series paper on this card. I used the piece mentioned above for the background and then I cut out two tickets from another sheet of designer series paper using the Sports Event dies.
I try to decorate the inside of my cards along with the envelope. You should never send out a naked envelope. LOL
Look how cute she is! Just like her aunt Joyce. LOL Raigen made my day when she sent me a text telling me she put my card up in her bedroom. That is when I know they really liked my card, it goes in their room.
I finished off her card by adding the red and white Fan Baker's Twine and the Resin Stars.
Thank you Raigen for letting me use your pictures to show you off on my blog. You're the best! Thank you to everyone for stopping by today. I hope you have a great Monday and week.
Sending lots of love and hugs to all of you!
Happy Stampin!

Two of my daycare boy angels have birthdays this month and they both love dinosaurs. I used the Dino Days stamp set, Dino dies and Dinoroar designer series paper. The dies fit perfectly on one of the sheets in the designers series paper.
I used the dies on this card to cut out the dinosaurs from the designer series paper. I stamped the palm tree with Crumb Cake and Old Olive ink.
The sentiment is stamped with Pretty Peacock ink and cut out with the Layering Circle dies. I popped the two layers (Pretty Peacock and Whisper White) on top with Stampin' Dimensionals. Everything else was adhered with snail adhesive.
On the bottom of the inside of the card and on the envelope I stamped footprints using the Pretty Peacock ink.

I needed a glittery card for a very special little girl for her birthday. She loves unicorns, so the Leave A Little Sparkle stamp set was perfect for this card.
What is most girls favorite colors? Pink and purple of course! I colored the unicorn with the Highland Heather (light and dark), Flirty Flamingo (light and dark) and Smoky Slate (light) Stampin Blends. I used Wink of Stella to give the unicorn and stars some bling.
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.

cut at 4" x 4 1/4"
Whisper White

cut at 4" x 5 1/4" for inside the card
To color the stars I used the retired Gold Wink of Stella and on the unicorn I used the clear Wink of Stella.

What do you do when you need a kids birthday card in a hurry? You reach for the Dino Days stamp set, Dino dies (you can get both as a bundle and save 10%) and the adorable Dinoroar designer series paper.
You know how I made this card in a hurry? For the dinosaurs, I used the Dino dies to cut out the dinosaurs on the designer series paper. How easy is that?! I, then stamped the sentiment and yellow design on the base of the card. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Well Said stamp set with Memento ink on Pool Party cardstock.

It is Friday!!! Do you have any projects you are going to work on this weekend? I am going to work on cleaning some closets and work in my craft room. I figure since we can't go anywhere I might as well get some cleaning done that I have been wanting to do for a long time.

My nephew has two boys that are really into Pokemon. So, for their birthdays I made them each this adorable Pokemon card. I really like how it came out.
I looked online to see if I could find directions on how to make one and and I came across this one created by Caroline Bennie. I love a challenge and figuring out what punches to use was a challenge. All but one of the punches I used are retired. I used the following punches:
1 3/8" oval - retired
small oval - retired
3/4" circle - retired
owl - retired
1/2" circle
what's up (arrow) - retired
I used the Basic Black Stampin Marker to draw the lines by the mouth. I did cut the Daffodil Delight base for the card at 4" x 6" and scored it at 3" so it would fit in a medium envelope. I also used Basic Black, Real Red and Whisper White cardstock.
I haven't done punch art in a long time. I didn't realize how much I enjoy doing it until I worked on this card. I am going to have to make more projects using punch art.
Have a wonderful Wednesday and thank you for stopping in today!
Happy Stampin'

Our precious Brielle had a birthday this month, so I made her this card using the Magical Mermaid stamp set. In the picture it is hard to tell, but the paper on this card is so beautiful and shiny. I used the Noble Peacock specialty designer series paper and Noble Peacock Foil sheets.
I haven't used my color pencils in a long time and thought this card would be perfect to use them on. I love to color, so this card was a lot of fun. When I finished coloring I added Wink of Stella so she would sparkle.
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:
Noble Peacock Foil Sheets
cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4"

Copper Foil Sheets
cut at 2 1/2" x 4 1/4"

Any little girl would be excited to get this card for their birthday. Brielle loved it!
It's the weekend and it is Super Bowl Sunday! Do you have a big party? a small party? or watch it with your family. We sometimes have a party, but this year we are going to have a relaxing evening watching the game (for me the commercials) and eating yummy snacks. What ever you do, I hope you have a great time!
I am going to have a Valentine's Day theme this week. I will be creating some treat holders and a Valentine's Day card. I hope you can join me on my Stampin Scrapper Facebook page.

Robin and I had 5 different kits for the attendees to create at our Holiday Extravaganza. The first one was Halloween themed and we used the Wonderfully Wicked stamp set and Wicked dies. We also used the Monster Bash designer series paper all from the Stampin' Up! 2019 holiday catalog.
The first project they made was the adorable pumpkin with the clear boxes. We got inspiration from a lot of different places for our projects. Some we created, some we took bits and pieces from projects we saw on line and came up with our own and some we made just like the original creator. This is one of the projects that we made just like the creator, but changed the sentiment.
In this treat holder Mentos fit perfectly inside of it. With all of our treat holders, we gave them the candy to put in them, so they didn't have to go get it themselves. Also, with each kit, they got a surprise from us. With this kit the got the beautiful Glittered Organdy Ribbon from the annual catalog.
I think it was a couple of years ago that Stampin' Up! had the test tubes in one of their catalogs. Well, for some reason I thought I needed to buy boxes and boxes of them. This was a perfect time to use them! I still have a bunch left. LOL
Robin designed this card and I love how it turned out. I am not a person big on Halloween, I am more of a Fall type of girl. However, after using this set, I really like how the projects came out.
Every year we can find the Halloween mini popcorn bags, but not this year. We looked every where, even online, and couldn't find them. I know as soon as we go out shopping again, we are going to find them everywhere. Who doesn't like sweet and salty together?! So, we added a small packet of M & M's to add to the popcorn when they pop it. Yummy!
For each of our kits, we picked a suite and used that for all of our projects, with the exception of sometimes using an additional stamp set.
Here are all the products we used for this kit. If you would like to purchase any of the supplies I used for any of the projects, just click on the picture below.
If you need any other products, click on the Shop Now button below.
Thank you for stopping by today! Come back on Friday for my Fall Friday series. I will have more projects and pictures from my Holiday Extravaganza next week. Have an awesome Wednesday!
I love this kit so much I ordered 4 of them! I am not a person who likes skeletons, skulls or any of the other types of scary Halloween items. I go towards the scarecrows and pumpkins. I think it is from working with children for almost 31 years, but even as a kid I wasn't into it.
When I saw this kit I thought I wouldn't like it, but was I wrong! I love it! I had so much fun playing with it and creating these cards. You know how I love how Stampin' Up! demonstrators share their creations with each other, which was what I needed for this kit. Not that I couldn't have created my own designs (I did on one card) I just didn't have the time this week. My Holiday Extravaganza is on Saturday, so my stampin studio has just been a little busy and hectic. I found two of the cards online and changed them up a little bit to fit my style.
The first card was originally created by Dana McClelland and this is my take on it.
The measurements for this card are:
Cardstock:
Gorgeous Grape
cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
Black
cut at 4" x 5 1/4"
scrap for cat
Smoky Slate
cut at 3 3/4" x 5"
Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede and Old Olive
scraps for pumpkin
Whisper White
cut at 4" x 5 1/4"
The other card that caught my eye right away was created by Linda Sterling.
The measurements for this card are:
Cardstock:
Black
cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
cut at 4" x 5 1/4"
Granny Apple Green
cut at 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
cut at 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"
Gorgeous Grape
cut at 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"
Pumpkin Pie
cut at 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"
Whisper White
cut at 4" x 5 1/4"
The last card I did create myself. When I saw the skeletons in the Paper Pumpkin stamp set the first thing I thought of was them dancing across the card.

With school starting, I thought these were the perfect gift to give to your child or to your child's teacher. I had made one of these years ago, using Rolo candy, but I couldn't find them anywhere. So, for these, I used Sweettarts.
On Monday night, I shared on my Facebook Live on how to make them. I didn't realize how fast they are to make, so it is a very short 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.
Cardstock:
Daffodil Delight
cut 3" x 6 3/4" score at every 1/4"
Blushing Bride
cut at 1" x 3"
scrap for a 3/4" circle
Silver Foil Sheet
cut at 3/8" x 3"
This is a fun project to make and easy if you want to make duplicates. I made them for Beckett, Brielle and Blysse as they are all beginning school this week.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a great day!

I love when the grand Randall's (they are my little angels that are like our grandchildren) look through the Stampin' Up! catalogs and pick out a stamp set them want me to use for their birthday cards. Beckett just turned 8 and he wanted me to use the Dino Days stamp set. Of course he did! Dinosaurs and boys always go together.
I knew I was going to order this stamp set and dies before Beckett even saw it. I have a lot of little boys, in my daycare. I kept thinking of all the different cards I could make for their birthdays. When Beckett opened his card, he loved it! Yay!

Cardstock:
Whisper White Thick
cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
Pretty Peacock
cut at 2" x 5 1/2"
Whisper White
cut at 1 3/4" x 5 1/2"
cut at 2 1/2" x 6" for the dinosaurs
There are 3 dinosaurs in this stamp set, so I used the third one on the inside of the card and on my envelope. I stamped them in the middle at the bottom of each one. I thought I took a picture of it, but I must not have.
I also made this card for one of the swaps I participated in for the new annual catalog. I had so fun making these.
It's hump day!!! I hope you have a great Wednesday!
