Scalloped Circle & Square Happy Birthday

This is a KISS card.  KISS mean "keep it so simple".   I used the Punch Bunch from the Sale-a-Bration brochure, square scallop punch, and a scallop circle punch.  Quick, easy, and by changing the colors of the card stock will work for anyone who is having a birthday.

Sympathy Card

A sympathy card is never an easy card to make as so much emotion can be attached to it.  Stampin' Up! has a beautiful stamp set called Thanks for Caring that has six sentiments and designs that would work well with this type of card.   It has an elegant butterfly stamp, flower (shown on yesterday's card) and the following sentiments:

with deepest SYMPATHY
with LOVE & caring
Thanks for caring.
May you find peace and comfort in this difficult time and know that you are loved.
Thanks for Caring Stamp Set, item #121901 - Wood OR #121961 - Clear Mount

I accented this card using Always Artichoke Classic Ink, item #105219

Get Well Wishes Card

If a customer asks me which stamp set I would recommend, I ALWAYS tell them Teeny, Tiny Wishes.   This Stampin' Up! stamp set consists of 24 stamps and covers almost every occasion during the year.  Another reason I like this stamp set so much is because it is a perfect fit for the Word Window Punch and the Modern Label Punch.  They work so well together.

To accent the scallop circles I used a Stampin' Up! Uni-ball Signo Gel Pen.  It is opaque and stays white when dry.   I find it works best when held straight up and down with slight pressure.   When you store this pen, store is straight up and down unlike our Stampin' Write Markers which are store horizontally to keep moisture on both tips.

Stampin' Up! Products Used:
Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set, item #115370 - Wood only
Thanks for Caring Stamp Set, item #121901 - Wood OR #121961 - Clear Mount
Uni-ball Signo Gel Pen, item #105021
Eyelet Border Paper Punch, item #119853
2 3/8" Scallop Circle Paper Punch, item #118874
1 3/4" Scallop Circle Paper Punch, item #119854
Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, item #118309

It is wonderful all the looks you can create using paper punches.   The Eyelet Border Paper Punch adds a special touch to the base of the card.  A strip of white card stock would of been fine, but this makes the card a bit more special.

Just Believe Thank You Gate Fold Card

 I'm a firm believer in using up scraps of paper rather than throwing them out.  I had prepped extra cards for classes on Saturday and didn't need the extras.   So now am in the process of creating cards with them.  I made this gate fold card today, and posted a tutorial for gate folds the other day on my blog.   Combining Real Rose and Wild Wasabi was a big hit with my students at classes here on Saturday.

Did you notice the accent of tiny pearls on the flowers?  I think it adds a touch of elegance to the cards.

Stampin' Up! Products Used:
Just Believe Stamp Set, item #116948 - Wood OR #120453 - Clear Mount
Curly Cute Stamp Set, item #117014 - Wood OR #120510 - Clear Mount

Extreme SkateBoard Card

 I have had requests recently for a masculine card, and I felt this one was a perfect choice.  I had card stock left over from my classes on Saturday where I taught how to make the Tri-Fold Gate Card.  I followed the same idea as on the tutorial, however with this card I adhered the ribbon to the inside panel of the card instead of the outside panels PLUS I added in some brads to accent the center outside piece.

We have a number of extreme stamps available.  I used the Extreme Skateboard (inside center of the card) and the Extreme Elements (additional stamping for card).  Here are the numbers of the Stampin' Up!  Extreme stamps which are only available in wood mount:

Extreme Snowboard, item #115177 -- 1 piece
Extreme Guitar, item #115328 -- 1 piece
Extreme Skateboard, item #115179  -- 1 piece
Extreme Surfboard, item #115173  -- 1 piece
Extreme Dirt Bike, item #115175 -- 1 piece
Extreme Elements, item #115181 -- 6 piece set

I like how the extreme sets are silhouettes and will be perfect in any color.

Sale-A-Bration starts tomorrow.  I've added the link to the Sale-A-Bration brochure on the right side of my blog if you would like to view it on-line.  Biggest Stampin' Up! promotion of the year in my opinion.   Great opportunity to earn FREE product with every $50 order (before tax & shipping/handling).

Eat Chocolate and Sale-a-Bration Information

Have you ever seen a stamp set and just knew you had to have it???  This was one of those sets for me.  Chocolate is a favorite of so many people and the humor in this set is wonderful and perfect for this set.  The card that I made could be for a Thinking of You, Just Because or as a small gift to someone.  Wait till you see what is inside.   The photo above is of the envelope.   I stamped the chocolate bar sentiment with Early Espresso.

 I layered 2 pieces of DSP from the Filled With Love Bundle .. (this is only available a few more days, then will no longer be available). 

 When you open this card, inside is a square of chocolate.  I adhered it with Dotto so it can be easily removed.

Love Is In the Air - Love Impressions Rub-Ons

Stampin' Up! has Rub-Ons!!!   The ones featured here are called Love Impressions and are item #121886.  Two sheets of different designs are priced at $7.95.  These are on Pg 8 of the Occasions Mini Catalog.  Additional designs/styles can be found in the Idea Book & Catalog (2010-2011) on Pg 184.

I tried these today for an anniversary card (Happy Anniversary Danny & Lisa).   When using the rub-ons I found that it was easier if I cut out the section of the design I wanted.  Then put the design where I wanted it on the card.  The pack comes with a stick, but I used the Stampin' Up! Bone Folder.   It gave me a wider area to apply pressure to the rub-ons.   Worked well.

These would work well for an anniversary, Valentine, or card to express LOVE.  Rub-ons are perfect for any age papercrafter too.   Easy to use, and can be used on any non-porous surface.

FAQ About Stampin' Up! Simply Adorned Pieces

The other day on my blog I showcased a Simply Adorned Purse Charm/Key Ring that I made.  I wanted to pass on to you additional information about this product.  I'm so excited about the Purse Charms and know I will be making a few more.  Love it as a gift idea too. 

Our Simply Adorned line beautifully combines the best of two worlds: stamping and jewelry! We designed our Simply Adorned charms to hold a creation you design yourself, making your jewelry truly unique. Simply Adorned charms are lockets--they open up so you can insert your custom stamped image. The Charming stamp set, along with Rub-Ons, glitter, ribbons, and other embellishments, can help you create your unique charm insert. And don't forget that you can embellish the chains with ribbon, felt flowers . . . the possibilities are endless! The frame surrounds tempered beveled glass on the front and flat glass on the back. Because there's glass on both sides of the charm, you can display an image on one side or both. You can create a custom heirloom piece that you'll never want to change, or you can swap artwork in and out, depending on your mood and your wardrobe. And although we designed Simply Adorned charms to be jewelry, they also make delightful key chains or Christmas tree ornaments. Insert a stamped image or photo of your loved ones, tie a ribbon through the clasp, and you're done! Paper-crafters and noncrafters alike--will love the look of Simply Adorned and appreciate how easy it is to create custom jewelry. When you wear your own Simply Adorned necklace with artwork you created yourself, be prepared for questions about where you got it! Our Simply Adorned line includes nickel-plated charms in a variety of sizes, anodized stainless steel chains in two lengths, a bracelet, and a new line of baubles! FAQs Q: What size are the charms? A: The charms are available in five different sizes: Square charms 5/8" x 5/8" 1" x 1" Rectangle charms 1" x 1-1/4" 1-1/2" x 2" Circle charm: 5/8" The size listed refers to the charm insert; the metal frame around the insert is slightly larger. You can use the included insert as a template to create the perfect-sized piece of artwork for your frame. It is important that your insert matches the insert template exactly. The hinge on your charm can break if your insert is too large and overlaps onto the frame. Q: Is the toggle clasp meant to be worn in the front or the back? A: Our stainless steel chain features a toggle clasp and includes an exclusive Stampin' Up! charm identifier. The beautiful leaf charm is designed to be worn on the front to enhance the overall design of the necklace, or worn on the back for a simpler look. Q: What materials are used to make Simply Adorned jewelry? A: The charms are nickel-plated zinc alloy with tempered beveled glass on the front, and tempered flat glass in the back. The chains are anodized stainless steel with a nickel-plated zinc alloy charm and toggle. Q: How do I clean my charm? A: Use clean water and a cotton applicator to clean the jewelry surface. Do not use alcohol or other chemicals to clean your jewelry as they will damage the finish. Q: How many layers can I fit inside the charm? A: The number of layers that fit inside each charm depends on the type of materials used. The space in the charm is 2 mm; as card stock, Designer Series paper, ribbon, and adhesives all differ in thickness, it is difficult to specify the number of layers that will fit inside. It is important to remember that you can break the hinge on your charm if your inserts are too thick. Never force the charm closed. If the charm does not close easily, remove a layer or two from your insert and try again. Q: How is the jewelry packaged? A: Each piece comes in a Chocolate Chip box (box for charms: 3-1/4" x 2-1/2" x 1"; box for chains: 9-1/2" x 2-1/2" x 1"). Q: What are Simply Adorned Baubles?A: Our Simply Adorned Baubles add a bit of bling to any bracelet, charm, or chain-or to cards and other projects, as well! Baubles feature a lobster clasp and come in Black Crystal, Clear Crystal, Pink Crystal, and Vanilla Pearl. Crystals are approximately 5/8" and the pearl is approximately 1/2".
