Animals, farm animals, Over the Moon stamp set

June kicked off the new catalog year at Stampin’ Up! and there are so many beautiful things to get any paper crafter excited!  The new stamp images and designer series papers are always something to look forward to, and this year is absolutely no exception.  Be sure to check out whats new by clicking the image below.

One of my must haves from the new catalog is the Over The Moon Cling Stamp Set.  These adorable cows are just what a farmer’s wife like me needs in her stamp collection!  And because it was recently our anniversary, I was able to use this set to make my DH a card for the occasion.

Honestly, I’m not too happy with my attempt at the whimsical pen strokes in the corners of this card, but I left them there anyways.  DH doesn’t notice that they are awful. 🙂

After I stamped and colored my image, I cut it out using my circles in the Stitched Shapes Dies.  I also created a frame which I sandwiched together using Foam Adhesive Strips.  It wasn’t until after these were stuck together that I realized the stamp set also has a little tuft of grass that I could have stamped to make my background nicer.

Every part of this image is colored using aqua painters and ink pads, but Stampin’ Blends would have been even easier.  Especially since you can see I ran out of the lines a little in some of the spots.  With Stampin’ Blends, you can use the Color Lifter to fix those little mistakes.

Sweet Treat for My Valentine

Tags

Animals, Boxes, Fox Builder Punch, Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, Treats, valentine

With Valentines’ Day just around the corner it’s time to prepare sweet packaging for treats to our favorite Valentines.  I found these super cute triangle boxes on Pinterest recently and couldn’t wait to try them myself.

I edited the measurements for my own purpose.  Using a 8-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Early Espresso Cardstock, I scored the long side at 3″ and 5-1/2.”  on the short end, I scored at 1-7/8″ and 3-3/8.”  This makes the section that will be punched with the Scalloped Top Punch smaller than the normal 2″ size, so I centered the CS before punching to ensure a uniform top.

There is a great tutorial for these boxes on fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator’s site: https://stampingmom.com/tag/stampin-up-valentine-triangle-box/

This Fox Builder Punch is the perfect little friend for animal-lovers.  I paired him with a pink sheet from the Tropical Escape DSP stack.  Simple, cute, easy and fun!

Animal Expedition Birthday Card Set

Tags

Animals, Big Shot, birthday, Birthday Card, CAS, kids

I’m always in need of a quick birthday card for kids.  So I made a set of Animal Expedition birthday cards that I can have on hand whenever I’m in need.  These cards are perfect to stick on top a gift or to use as a gift card holder.  Another great use for this set is to give it as a teacher gift!

This Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper offers a great background for a gender neutral card.  Boys and girls alike will find these cards charming.  I was able to create 3 card bases from one sheet of 8-1/2″ x 11″ cardstock.  Each base is 3-5/8″ x 8-1/2″ so these are similar in size to the note cards & envelopes offered by SU!  I think these work great with or without an envelope.

Lets take a closer look at each one.

I decided to skip the stamping on these cards and instead used the Happy Birthday thinlits die to cut out my bold birthday sentiment in black.

Sale-A-Bration Favorites

Tags

Animals, CAS, farm animals, Friendship card, Home to Roost stamp set, masculine, SAB, sale-a-bration

Have you already found your favorite Sale-A-Bration  (SAB) products?  I know I have!  There are a lot of lovely products you can get for FREE when you make a $50+ purchase.  The Home To Roost stamp set is my ultimate favorite, and I’m sure you’ll love it too.

I love the look of the wheat/grass blades stamped over the Wood Textures DSP.  I got the idea straight out of the SAB pamphlet where the Home To Roost stamp set is featured.  These publications and catalogs are full of great project ideas!

I’m thrilled that the Braided Linen Thread is still a current product! It was one of my favorite embellishments from the Holiday Catalog and I’m so glad that carried over and is still available.
