If you follow my business Facebook Page you may have seen a photo I posted a couple of weeks ago that looked like this.
These are the parts for a swap card that I was working on. I’m in a group that swaps with every new catalog. We each design a card and make as many as are in the swap. Then we mail them all to the coordinator and she sorts them for us and mails everyone back a set that includes all the different cards. It’s fun to see all the different ideas that everyone comes up with and gives me a bunch of samples to put out at my classes. So are you ready to see my card creation from the parts above?
I thought it was a sweet little card for someone moving into a new house or even just some newlyweds. I love that the little house stamp fits inside the arrow of the What’s Up punch! And you can add the little row of hearts to the house if you want – it is a separate stamp in the set. I used Blendabilities Markers to color the house. Did you know you can choose the Blendabilities Markers for FREE during Sale-A-Bration. And this stamp set is also a free choice and so is the Designer Paper that I used. Below is a full list of all the supplies.

Apr 3, 2014 | Cards, Easter, Sale-A-Bration 2014 |
All my Crumb Cake card stock is all gone! Why? Because everyone loved this card so much that I used it all up in my last two classes. Yep the Bunny Butt card is a big winner! And now I need to order more Crumb Cake card stock. It’s an old idea that I revisited with some new Stampin’ Up! products.
Here are the details – it’s really pretty quick to make.
- The card base is Crumb Cake and the front is stamped with the Hardwood Background stamp using Chocolate Chip ink.
- Punch the hole in the front with the 1-3/4″ Circle punch
- Layer on the inside a piece of Chocolate Chip card stock – I put mine on with Stampin’ Dimensionals to make it look like an actual hole – like the bunny is jumping through the fence.
- The Happy Easter is just on a strip of Whisper White that I cut into the banner shape with my paper snips. The stamp is from the Delightful Dozen stamp set.
- I also sponged the edges of the banner with some Crumb Cake ink and tied a piece of the Crisp Cantaloupe Baker’s Twine from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack in the Sale-a-Bration brochure – I hope you got some before if ended!
- Now let’s make this little bunny butt. Punch from Whisper White card stock – one 1-3/4″ circle, two large oval, and two 7/8″ scallop circle. Sponge all the edges with Crumb Cake ink.
- Punch two pieces of the Crisp Cantaloupe print out of the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series paper (or use the one from the In-color paper stack) using the old retired small oval punch. I know – we don’t sell this one anymore but it’s the perfect size for this so that is what I used. If you don’t have you could use our current small oval it just give a different look.
- Glue the small ovals to the large ovals to make the bottom of his feet. Then use the fat end of the Crisp Cantaloupe Stampin’ Write Marker to make three toe marks – I literally just laid the mark tip down and lifted it back up to create the marks.
- Glue the feet to the large circle.
- Crumple up the small scallop circles to get them fluffy for his tail. Glue the two of them together and then use a dimensional to add the tail to the big circle.
- attach the bunny butt to the card so he looks like he’s jumping through the hole!
Everybody loved this fun bunny card. I hope you do too.
Mar 31, 2014 | Big Shot, Occasions Catalog 2014, Sale-A-Bration 2014, Wildlife |
I got another picture of the baby bluebirds yesterday – March 30th –
I for sure see 4 babies – there were 5 eggs originally, so the 5th one could be hidden in the pile or perhaps the egg didn’t hatch. Hopefully a future photo will show the 5th baby. I’ll try to get another photo today and if I do it will be posted on my Facebook page.
Today I have a sweet little project to share combining the Spiral Flower die from the Occasions catalog and the Banner Blast set from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. By the way today – Monday, March 31st is the LAST day to place an order or join and take advantage of the Sale-A-Bration specials – free items for each $50 you spend, if you join and extra $25 in your starter kit! You can order or join directly from my website – click here – click SHOP or JOIN.
So here is my little project –
Aren’t these the cutest little flower pops! Once you get the hang of it they are pretty quick to make – cut the spiral flower on the Big Shot and then you roll it up – and it works so much better if you use some craft tweezers to do the twirling.
The Pansy punch is what I used for the leaves. Punch a hole in the center of the pansy and also in the little tab end of the spiral flower – that’s where the stick of the lollipop goes through – if you push those over the base of the wrapper they will stay put.
To finish this cute little treat I added the tag from the Banner Blast set.
- Stamp the Hi image in Primrose Petals – by the way I used Primrose Petals Coordinations card stock for the flower
- Punch it out with the banner punch
- Punch a small hole in the corner
- Then tie it on with the twine from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory pack
Fun treat to give all your friends this spring!

Stampin’ Up!’s coordinating products make it so easy to create beautiful cards in no time. Check this one out –
The coordinating products in the Sale-A-Bration Sweet Sorbet collection – designer paper and bakers twine from the accessory pack. I paired it with the Label Love bundle which includes the Label Love stamp set and the coordinating Artisan Label punch. With card stock that matches our ink and designer paper this card came together in no time.
A quick post today! Come back tomorrow and I’ll have something else to share.
