Pull out your Big Shot and make this quick and easy Note Card – so stamping needed. Just paper, a die, embossing folder and a couple of embellishments and you can throw this quick card together.
The piece of Designer Paper is from the Carried Away pack which is Free in the Sale-a-Bration brochure. I love using note cards for quick and easy notes – each pack comes with 20 cards and envelopes. You can get them in Whisper White or Crumb Cake.
Here is a list of supplies that I used – buy these and get the Designer Paper pack free.
- Whisper White Note Cards #131527 $6
- Hello You Thinlits #137363 $25

Plus card stock in Smoky Slate and Night of Navy and my Big Shot Die Cutting Machine. The Big Shot sandwich that I use for the Hello You Thinlits is from the bottom up: Big Shot Platform, Thin Die Adapter, Precision Base Plate, card stock, the die cutting blades down, Cutting Pad.
The Big Shot sandwich that I use for the Dynamic Embossing folder is from the bottom up: Big Shot Platform, Dynamic folder with one piece of paper inside, Cutting Pad. That’s it – these folders are very thick so you only need on Cutting Pad on the top. Don’t use the thin die adapter or the bottom cutting pad.
Enjoy your day!

Every year I create a desktop calendar for my KSU ladies and my Stamper’s Club to create. It’s a seasonal calendar usually with 4 panels one for each set of three months. A small visual to place on a desk at work or home so you can see days. I’m not sure how many years its been but I use My Digital Studio to create the calendar part so maybe I started when that came out. Even though we don’t sell the software anymore I still have it on my old computer and open that open whenever I want to use it. So I pulled it out and created my 2017 calendar panels. The calendar is put together with a little stand so it will stay up on the desk. Here are some photo’s of the 2017 calendar. Here it is standing up.
And the first panel is Jan – Mar 2017. I used the Falling in Love Designer Series Paper and Bold Butterfly Framelits to decorate this panel. Colors are Sweet Sugarplum and Soft Sky.
The second panel is Apr – June 2017. I used the Fruit Stand Designer Paper and Birds & Blooms Thinlits dies. Colors are Watermelon Wonder and Daffodil Delight.
Then you flip it and the third panel is July – Sep 2017. I used the Tasty Treats Specialty Designer Paper and Frozen Treats Framelits dies. Colors are Pool Party, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso and Watermelon Wonder.
The fourth panel is Oct – Dec 2017. I used the Moroccan Designer Series Paper and Flourish Thinlits dies. Colors are Delightful Dijon and Emerald Envy.
The designer paper piece from each layer is attached to the Early Espresso base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. That is so you can slide the little stand in underneath to hold the calendar up. Here is a photo of that.
I hope you like this little project and that everyone that got to make one will enjoy throughout the whole year!
Jan 23, 2017 | 2017 Occasions Catalog, Big Shot, Valentine's Day |
I wanted to create a Valentine card and realized that I didn’t order the Sending Love Bundle – basically the Valentine themed set in our Occasions catalog. I did order the Sending Love Designer Series paper stack though – so I had that to work with for Valentine’s. As I looked through the catalog for an alternate stamp set to use I realized the Lift Me Up Bundle had several elements I could use to create a Valentine card – a heart that said Love, a heart die and the words Love is in the air – PERFECT! So I got to work creating this cute card.
I used the Falling Petals Embossing folder on a piece of Pool Party card stock. I chose one of the prints from the Sending Love Designer Paper stack for my hot air balloon. I did cut a second little piece of the hot air balloon in Early Espresso and trim it to make the basket. Then tied a piece of Whisper White bakers twine around it. Die cut a red heart to add to the balloon. Add the white clouds and the Love is in the air sentiment and it turned into quite the cute Valentine Card.
I added a simple white layer stamped with the little heart on the inside.
Thanks for stopping in today!

Now that the new year has come and gone it’s time to work on Valentine’s Day – it will be here before we know. We are almost half way through January already! Where in the world does the time go. I had high hopes of getting so many things done over the holidays and it really just didn’t happen. Sigh.
At the end of December I had my monthly Card Maker’s class and created this Valentine’s card as one of the selections.
I used a couple of new products from the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog.
The Sending Love Designer Paper Stack – which is a fun 6×6 sized stack of red and while designs. There are 8 double-sided designs in the stack.
I also used a new stamp set called Falling for You. It’s part of the Falling in Love Suite which has products that are romantic and shabby chic. Think marriage, wedding, love.
The heart is from the Sweet & Sassy Framelits die set. I wonder why they gave that one a different name instead of just calling it layering hearts like they did the circles, squares, and ovals. Even the stars are just called stars. I want to call it layering hearts.
The Baker’s Twine is actually from the Holiday Catalog – I wish they had kept that little pack as it was perfect for Valentine’s projects this time of year.
Thanks for visiting!
