Both of these sets can be used for much more that one specific occasion and the penguin set has a coordinating punch!  Yee Haw!

Stamping for fun?

Hello Friends,

Happy Labor Day!
I spent some time in the studio recently creating a card for a very special wedding we attended yesterday. Usually I sis down with a design in my head with an end product in mind.  This card  wasn’t one where I was trying to make a project that is easy to reproduce.  Sometimes it’s fun to really add all of the bells and whistles.  I just stamped to my heart’s content and I LOVE how it turned out.
Since Covid is still a big, gray cloud over all events, it’s challenging to plan anything….especially a wedding.  We are so honored to be included in the small group of friends who will be attending.  I really wanted to make something special for the bride and groom and I hope they like it.

I love, love, LOVE the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (152494).  There are so many gorgeous textures and it has a fun, rustic feel.  The design I chose has a touch of Rococo Rose in and it felt perfect for this card.  The Forever Fern stamp set worked perfectly along with the coordinating dies.  I added a fun pocket to hold the money and then made a spot on top with space to write our message and signature.

The card is a slim line design which I love.  I thought it paired perfectly with the Champagne Foil.  I made a matching envelope with a cool closure too.  Envelope measurements: Designer Series Paper 9-1/4″ x 11-3/4″  Score on the short side at 2-3/8″ and 6-1/2″.  Score on the long edge at 1-1/2″ and 11″.

If you’d like to watch a step-by-step tutorial, check out my Facebook Live HERE where I create another card with this design.

All of the supplies I used are listed below.  To add items to your shopping cart, just click on the image of the products you want to order.  Easy, peasy.  
Wishing you plenty of time to get your fingers inky and a wonderful week ahead.
Stampin’ Hugs,
Michelle

Ode to Charlotte’s Web

He’s one “Humble” Pig…

Charlotte’s Web is one of my all time favorite books.  It figures that this card would come to life thanks to two of my favorite stamp sets that are retiring at the end of May.  “This Little Piggy” and “Over the Moon” are both SO cute and really fun to create with.  I created this sweet card and shared it on my weekly “It’s a Date at 8” Facebook Live (every Thursday night at 8 p.m. EST).  You can watch the video below.  You can also find more fun videos on my YouTube channel.  Be sure to hit the Subscribe button over there so you won’t miss out on all of the new videos.

Honey Bee Fun Fold Squash Card

Just buzzin’ by with a fun fold card featuring the Honey Bee bundle.    Sadly, this adorable stamp set with matching dies will be retiring at the end of May.  If you’d like to get a set of your own, you’d better hurry.  It’s still available HERE
There’s nothing better than a handmade card….well…maybe a handmade card with a surprise inside.
Isn’t that fun?  This “squash” card is a WOW but it’s so easy to create.  Check out the video below from my Facebook Live, “Create at 8”, that aired on 4/26/20.

Birthday Bonanza Easel Card

Hello, Stampin’ Friends!

The sun is shining here today and it finally feels like spring.  I have to admit that being in “shelter in place” status is much easier for me when I can get outside and go for a walk or work in the yard.  Honestly, being able to stay creative and stamp to my heart’s content has been great medicine too.  It just brings me joy.  How about you?

Today’s card is one that is sure to make everyone smile.  Not only is the Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper bright and cheery….it has some stinkin’ cute zoo pals that just pop right off of the page.

This easel card is a quick one to make.  It uses just the paper and the dies from the bundle.  Here’s a peek at the inside…
Isn’t that so fun??  The sentiments are from a set called “Piece of Cake”.  
The set has fun sentiments and great images.
Below you’ll find the supplies that I used.  They can all be found at

God’s Peace and Snow Dancing

First “Snow Dance” of the Year!

If there’s one thing you should know about my daughter, Lindsay, is that she LOVES snow.  She’s a true believer in the “snow dance” ritual and happily participates anytime there’s even a hint that there may be snow in the forecast.  Tonight she went to bed with her pj’s inside out.  LOL  She’s ready!  I, admittedly, would love a snow day too.

Before I turn out the light tonight I thought I’d send out a couple of fun reminders and a FREE card tutorial for you.  So…here we go….


1.  REMEMBER…Wednesday, December 11th is FREE SHIPPING all day long on your Stampin’ Up! orders of any size.  This includes ALL prepaid Paper Pumpkin Subscriptions (3, 6, and 12 months).  One really fun perk is that with a 12 month subscription you’ll also qualify for Hostess Benefits (aka FREE STUFF)


2.  Check out the YEAR-END CLOSEOUT and the CLEARANCE RACK too.  There are lots of great deals to be had on both.

3.  GIFT CERTIFICATES:  They can be purchased in any amount.  I will mail them out as soon as they are ordered and paid for.  This is also a good way for YOU to get what YOU want under your tree this year.  Give your family and friends my contact info to get yours.

4.  FREE CARD TUTORIAL:  I absolutely LOVE these sweet, little deer and especially this Designer Series Paper.  It would be easy to use the same layout for all sorts of occasions.  I hope you enjoy this tutorial.  Just click HERE for the FREE tutorial.

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday and the best of luck if you are also doing a “snow dance”.

Stamped Blessings,
Michelle
