Cheerful Critters

Posted on February 20, 2015February 20, 2015 by Josee

Good Morning! Happy Friday!

I've got a cute card to share with you today!

It's a simple, but simply cute card! The little heart stamp from Best Day Ever fits perfectly in the Happy Heart Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and I couldn't help adding a little belt to the bunny's oufit with the Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim.

Here are the supplies I used on this card:

Measurements:

Melon Mambo: 5.5”x8.5”
Whisper White: 5”x3.75”, plus some for die cutting

Instructions:

Cut card base from Melon Mambo, cut base layer from Whisper White
Emboss Whisper White with Happy Heart embossing folder, then stamp ‘heart’ stamp from Best Day ever inside random embossed hearts; adhere to card base
Stamp bunny from Cheerful Critters and sentiment on Whisper White; use Oval Framelit to die cut
Die cut Bermuda Bay washi sheet with the next size oval to mat the stamped Whisper White oval
Color the bunny stamped image using Blendabilities
Trim the bottom of both ovals where the stamped image ends
Adhere the washi oval and stamped oval on to the embossed base layer
Cut a small section of Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim to create a little belt for the bunny’s outfit

I found another great way to use the Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim and I can't wait to show you that card next week!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!!

Bowl of Lotus Flowers

Posted on February 18, 2015February 18, 2015 by Josee

Good Morning!

I am glad you stopped by today! I have a pretty card to share today!

I have to say, this is one of those cards that started off as one idea and grew into a completely different idea 🙂 It's funny how that happens! It really ended up going in a totally different direction once I saw that the Deco Label Framelits die cut resembled a flower pot! The card I originally started to make still happened and ended up very differently, but I will show you that one next week.

I used the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits die– the border trim die with the holes- to create the holes needed for the weaved ribbon on the flower pot-which was cut with the Deco Labels Framelits Die. The black striped paper is the Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper and the flowers in the pot are from the Lotus Blossum Stamp Set- which you can get FREE with Sale-A-Bration until March 31st! I really like the way they look cut out and stuck on with dimensionals! The 'So Sweet' stamp is from the Hello Life stamp set. I also used the Birthday Bash Designer Washi Sheets, the Chalkboard Paper and the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack- which also FREE with Sale-A-Bration!

What do you think? Was it a happy accident?

Come back tomorrow for more Sale-A-Bration samples!

Tuesday’s New Deals!

Posted on February 17, 2015February 18, 2015 by Josee

Good Morning!

Thanks for stopping by today!

I've got a cute card to share today!

I know it's after Valentine's Day, but as I was creating this one, I actually thought this would be perfect for an anniversary card or even just a 'because'. Do you really need a reason to say I love you?

I used Soft Sky for the card base, Marina Mist on top of that, a little Calypso Coral peeking out and Whisper White on top. I used the Hello You Thinlits Dies and the new Confetti Hearts Border Punch to make the cutouts in the Whisper White layer.

I used the Sale-a-Bration freebie: Best Year Ever Accessory pack's ribbon and button for the final touches. I really love the way this one turned out!

Well, it is Tuesday, which means some new amazing deals from Stampin' Up! Check them out here:
