Free Designer Paper…oh yahhhh!

Posted on January 16, 2019January 11, 2019 by Josee

If you haven’t figured it out yet, I am in love with all the beautiful butterfly themed products in the Occasions Catalogue and in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure! I made this super simple card the other day using part of the FREE BOTANICAL BUTTERFLY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER (DSP) that you can get with a $60 purchase!

This DSP is probably my favourite paper in the nearly 17 years I’ve been with Stampin’ Up! It is so versatile and beautiful!

Measurements

Balmy Blue: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
Basic Black: 2 1/4″ x 5 1/2
Designer Series Paper: 2″ x 5 1/2″

Tips

  1. Stamp greeting on to scrap Whisper White cardstock, then punch out using 1 3/4″ punch.
  2. Stamp outline butterflies on to Whisper White cardstock in Basic Black ink, then use bold butterfly stamps to stamp inside with Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.
  3. Punch out butterflies, then stamp body of butterflies using Memento ink.
  4. Use Wink of Stella to add glimmer to butterflies.
  5. Use Dimensionals to adhere circle and butterflies.

So Happy Valentine’s Card

Posted on January 9, 2019 by Josee

Stampin’ Up! has challenged us demonstrators to come up with some #simplestamping cards, and this month, we are challenged to come up with Valentine’s Day cards.The best part of these simple cards is that they only use SIP: Stamps-Ink-Paper! For the card, we use 3 1/2″ x 5″ notecards and envelopes!

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Stamp the greeting with Black Memento ink. (Tip: Make sure your ink pad is well inked) I found that because this stamp is larger, it helped to use the Stamparatus to stamp it on the card. I had to re-ink the image a couple of times and re-stamp to ensure that the whole image showed up properly. Check out the VIDEO below to see how to use the Stamparatus! If you purchase the Stamparatus this month, you’ll be able to get 1 FREE exclusive Sale-A-Bration product!!
  2. Stamp the image stamp on bottom of card using Memento ink.
  3. To watercolour, I used ink pads with an Aqua Painter.
