Jan 18, 2013 | Big Shot, Birthday, Cards, Masculine, Spring Catalog 2013 |
Henry Says, Pinwheels, and Parker’s Patterns make for a fun birthday card. I created this fun card for the GoDiva Spring Catalog Swap.
I used lots of fun products from the Stampin’ Up! Spring Catalog –
- Henry Says stamp set (my favorite!)
- Parker’s Patterns Designer Series Paper
- Cloudy Day Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
- Pinwheel Sizzlets Die
- Hearts A Flutter Framelit Dies
I love the little pinwheel coming out of Henry’s trunk – I even tilted him back a bit so it looks like he is really blowing out some air to get that pinwheel going. What a fun little guy!

Jan 17, 2013 | Big Shot, Cards, class, Create with Connie & Mary, Designer Series Paper, Sale-A-Bration 2013, Spring Catalog 2013 |
Look at the options you have with one sketch and one stamp set! It’s a sketch challenge from Create with Connie & Mary . Combine that with the cute Patterned Occasions stamp set in the 2013 Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration brochure.
I saw a cute card idea last week while I was out of town that my demonstrator friend Selene Kempton posted on her FB page. I was planning to use that idea for classes that I had this week (yesterday actually). And as I looked at the sketch for this week I decided to merge the two ideas together. And then wanted to show my classes how they could exchange the image for any image in the stamp set – giving them multiple options and allowing everyone to create a card for whatever occasion they needed. Here is my card – I actually turned the sketch again.
Here are some details on this card and then I’ll show you the other images.
- card base is Sahara Sand
- A layer of Island Indigo that was run through the Big Shot with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder
- A strip of Sycamore Street Designer Series paper – I love those dots! – cut into a flag
- Tied some Island Indigo Baker’s Twine around the layer and tied it in a bow
- Stamp the jeans image on Whisper White card stock and punch out with the 1-3/4″ Circle punch
- To dress up the jeans pierce a hole on either side at the waist and tie a bit of Baker’s Twine to create a belt!
- Punch a Decorative Label punch from Tangerine Tango card stock. Layer behind the circle and add to the front of the card.
I love the little belt! That was my favorite idea from Selene’s Card. Now these are the other images from the Patterned Occasions stamp set and what I did with them – just switch these out on the front of the card and you have a variety of options.
On these I added either a little punched heart or the little flower. Now you have a birthday, thank you, get well and a love you card. This gave everyone the option to make the card that they wanted.
Visit the Create with Connie & Mary site to see the creations from the rest of the design team and to submit your own creation for this new challenge. I hope you are having a good week. Mine has been busy since I returned from Leadership and I still have lots to share. Unfortunately our weather here is yucky! I came home from sunny Florida to rain and it hasn’t stopped in 4 days! And tonight we could have snow/ice – we can hope it will be snow but more likely it will be ice – which won’t be good for Friday!

Jan 9, 2013 | Big Shot, Birthday, Cards, Punch Art, Spring Catalog 2013 |
Look at this cute thing we made at stamp club last week! I had a punch art Lion card from another Stampin’ Up! event – I think convention probably. It was a swap I received and had posted on my card tree that was up during my classes. Everyone always thought it was cute and Cari wanted to make it at stamp club. Finally I designed a card to go with the punch art lion.
A few new products from the Spring Mini are on here – including the Parker’s Patterns Designer Paper and the Honeycomb Embossing Folder. I’ll come back later and add in all the punches and dies.
Have a great day!

Jan 3, 2013 | Big Shot, Cards, Create with Connie & Mary, Spring Catalog 2013, Valentine's Day, Vintage |
Today’s the day!
The first day of the NEW Spring Stampin’ Up! Catalog! And the beginning of Stampin’ Up!s 25 year silver anniversary!
Now it makes me think I should have made an anniversary card using silver – but we used silver last week – and I did not make an anniversary card. I did however use some brand new products from the Spring Catalog for my card this week. It is a sketch challenge week – I keep trying to decide if I like the sketches better or the colors – I think I prefer sketch challenges. In any case I do like that the Create with Connie & Mary challenges alternate. Here is this weeks sketch –
And I really do like to turn the sketches so I can be different – while it doesn’t always happen – it did this week – and this is the creation that I came up with –
In addition to turning it I decided to switch and have the three panels be the banner flags and the other piece be a rectangle. Which meant I was able to use the new stamp set Hearts a Flutter for my flag along with the matching framelit. Plus I wanted to give a more masculine feel to the Hearts A Flutter stamp set – so I thought this could pass as a masculine Valentine card – what do you think?
Here is a quick look at how I made this.
- card base is Basic Gray
- card layer of Crumb Cake embossed with the Chevron Embossing Folder
- add the strip of First Edition Designer Series Paper
- Stamp three of the banner flags on Crumb Cake card stock using Basic Gray ink and cut them out with the framelit attach with dimensionals to the strip
- Wrap a piece of the Natural 7/16″ Trim Ribbon (I’m going to love this!) around the card layer overlapping the ends. Tie with a piece of Linen Thread.
- Stamp the outline heart and chevron heart on Crumb Cake card stock using Basic Gray ink and cut out with the matching framelit. Also cut a heart from Basic Gray card stock.
- Stamp “4 You” from Tiny Tags set on the outline heart.
- Punch holes with the 1/16″ punch in the three hearts, thread on a Vintage Trinket safety pin and pin to the Linen Thread.
- punch a heart from the Owl punch from Basic Gray card stock and glue on the heart
- Write a sweet note on the inside and give to your sweetheart!
I like how it turned out and I hope you do to. Visit the Create with Connie & Mary site to see the creations from the rest of the design team and to submit your own creation for this new challenge. Have a great week!
