Stampin' Up! Aloha!


I had so much fun in my craft room today!  This is actually the 3rd card that I designed today.  You'll see the others next week.  :)  I've been dying to dig into the Tropical Oasis products that I have.  I don't have the whole suite.  I feel like the entire suite wasn't available for this set during the pre-order period, so I got what I could.  I'll have to go and see what I'm missing and get those things ordered, so I can play with them, too.  So, you'll be seeing this set come up again.  
The colors I chose are Pool Party, Pear Pizzazz, and Daffodil Delight.  Weird that the inside of my card looks all washed out like that....I don't know what happened.  The blue that is showing up under the pineapple above is true to color.


The video is long, but you can fast forward to the where I'm putting together the card.  The first and last parts of the video have a preview of next week's projects and show how a single idea can branch out to create variations of the same card, using more than one patterned paper.

Stampin' Up! Elegant Treat Bag

It's 3-D Thursday!  Today's fun project is an elegant treat bag made using the Peaceful Poppies suite.



This is a super easy project to make and so versatile. Our Simple Scored tool makes projects like this almost effortless. I highly recommend that this be one of the basic tools in your crafting space.





I used a new technique on this project. I used my Poppy Parade Light Stampin' Blend to color the ribbon. It was super easy and not as messy as I thought it was going to be. Our Stampin' Blends are alcohol based inks, so they absorb smoothly and dry quickly. I love them so much! Can't wait to play with them some more.

Stampin' Up! With all my Heart!


I am so in love with this beautiful 'thinking of you' card, using the Peaceful Poppies Suite from the Jan-June 2020 Mini Catalog!  It was so easy to make and looks so elegant (if I do say so myself).  

This past week or so has been so stressful.  I had to really make myself take some me time and make something pretty.  Crafting is one of my favorite self-care activities, and it didn't disappoint!  If anything, it was such a quick and easy card, that I wish I made it a little more complicated.  I really love this layout.  I think you're going to be seeing it again for sure.



Here is a look at the inside of the card.  I'm really learning to appreciate the off-set, more relaxed look.  :)


Below, you will see a list of everything used to make this project, but the sentiment, DSP, dies, and embellishments are all part of the Peaceful Poppies Suite, so I included a link for as well.
