Bohemian You've Got This

Using Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the base, add a layer of Delightful Dijon and Whisper White. On the Whisper White layer, stamp the Bohemian Borders stamp in Blackberry Bliss, Delightful Dijon & Bermuda Bay ink.

Stamp the sentiment from You've Got This onto a seperate piece of Whisper White cardstock and punch out using the 1 3/4" circle punch and then mat it with dimensionals on a 2" circle cut from Blackberry Bliss.

Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlit

Posted on July 22, 2015July 21, 2015 by Josee

Good morning!!

Today I've got a quick and easy project to show you!

One of the things I really love the most about Stampin' Up products is how easy it is to make a project look like you spent a lot of time on it-even when you didn't! If you have any non-crafty friends in your life, you may sometimes hear comments like 'where do you find the time?' or 'you're so creative' or 'I wish I could make stuff like this'….of course the secret is that stamping with Stampin' Up products is a hobby that can take as little or as much time as you want to put into it. Today's project is a great example of what I mean. With tools like a Big Shot and the Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits, paper crafting has never been so easy!!

Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits, Fluttering EF

I think this Gift Card Envelope would be perfect for a wedding, birthday or even baby gift!

2015-06-28 16.49.41 Here is the gift card with the ribbon unwrapped and with a gift card inside. Gift Card Envelope open

To make this project, I used the Thick Whisper White cardstock and cut it with the Gift Card Envelope Thinlit. Then I embossed it with the NEW Fluttering Textured Embossing Folder (before embossing it, I folded in the creased lines so they would be easy to find after embossing). So pretty!! Then the gift card envelope was folded and I added a bit of adhesive to keep the bottom of the envelope closed.

Next, on some regular Whisper White cardstock I stamped the words from the B.Y.O.P stamp set in Watermelon Wonder and Tuxedo Black ink and then cut them out with the coordinating die in the Gift Card Envelope and Trims Thinlits set. I also cut the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper using the pennant die in the set.

I punched a small hole in the ends of the die cuts and attached them to the envelope with a Mini Brad.

Insert a gift card and wrap the Watermelon Wonder Dotted Laced Trim around the closed envelope. So easy!!!

Here are the supplies I used to make this project:

Brick Wall & Watercolor Wings

Posted on July 21, 2015July 2, 2015 by Josee

Good morning!!

Thanks for stopping by today! I've got a simple, yet pretty card to show you today 🙂

Brick wall watercolor wings by StamingJo

I started this card with a base of Smoky Slate cardstock. Then I embossed a layer of Whisper White cardstock with the Brick Wall Textured Embossing Folder. LOVING this new embossing folder!!

Then, before adhering the brick wall layer to the card base, I tied some NEW Smoky Slate Chevron Ribbon to it and added a bit of Blushing Bride Sequin Trim to the tied section.

Butterfly by StampingJo

I cut out a butterfly using the Bold Butterfly Framelits and the Kraft Corrugated paper. Then I cut out a butterfly with the Butterflies Thinlits out of Smoky Slate. As you can see, these two die sets coordinate perfectly! I added a bit of Silver Metallic Thread for the butterfly's antennae, adhering it to the back of the corrugated butterfly. I adhered the butterfly layers to the Brick Wall using glue dots.

To finish it off, I added the sentiment from Watercolor Wings with Blushing Bride ink. So simple!

Here are the supplies I used to create this card:

Sprinkles of Life Cupcakes

Posted on July 17, 2015July 2, 2015 by Josee

Good Morning!

Welcome back for another dose of Stampin' fun! Today I've got a yummy cupcake card to show you, using the Sprinkles of Life stamp set and the Tree Builder Punch!

Sprinkles of Life by StampingJo

I started this card with a base of Tip Top Taupe cardstock. Then I used the File Tab Edgelits dies to create a layer of Mint Macaron and Whisper White cardstock for the background. I used the candle from Sprinkles of Life and stamped a background on the Whisper White layer with Pink Pirouette ink and stamped the Happy Birthday on the File Tab edges with Tip Top Taupe ink. Sprinkles of Life, by StampingJo

The cupcake bottom was stamped with Tip Top Taupe ink on Tip Top Taupe cardstock and then cut out with Paper Snips. The cupcake top was punched with the Tree Builder Punch out of Pink Pirouette cardstock and then embossed with the Decorative Dots Textured Embossing Folder. Both were adhered to the Whisper White layer- the top of the cupcake was mounted on Stampin' Dimensionals to make it pop!

The sentiment from Sprinkles of Life was stamped with Tip Top Taupe on Whisper White and I punched each end with the Banner Triple Punch- then punched some Mint Macaron cardstock to layer underneath that. Before adhering the sentiment layer to the background, I tied some Mint Macaron Dotted Lace Trim to the background layer and adhered that to the card base.

I added the sentiment layer on top of that with some Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish off the card, I added some Pearls to the cupcake top to create some yummy yet elegant sprinkles 🙂

Here are the supplies I used on this card:
