Jun 21, 2017 | Cards, Washi Tape |
Red, White and Blue or in the case of Stampin’ Up! colors – Real Red, Whisper White and Dapper Denim. The perfect combination for a patriotic card. The 4th of July is quickly approaching and it will be Independence Day – you could use this idea for an invitation to a summer celebration.
I used the Watercolor Words stamp set on page 136 of the Stampin’ Up! 2017-2018 Annual catalog. I even used the card idea on that page! I just switched up the colors. The card on that page uses the Note Cards & Envelopes and I actually made a full sized card so I added my Whisper White layer onto a Real Red card base. My finished card is 5-1/2″ wide and 4-1/4″ tall – that is the normal size that I create.
I added the Pick a Pattern Washi Tape which is a variety of Black & White designs in 5 different widths. The Real Red strip is stamped and then punched on each end with the Triple Banner Punch. I added a silver Mettalic Enamel Shaped star.
I even decorated the inside of the card this time –
And be sure to dress up the envelope too – a little stamping and a bit of washi tape too.
Enjoy your day!
Apr 27, 2015 | Paper Pumpkin, Retired List, Washi Tape |
I made this fun card using stamps from the February 2015 Paper Pumpkin kit and Washi Tape and the Beach House Washi Tape.
I used a Crumb Cake Note Card and cut a piece of Whisper White card stock to layer on the front. I took the colors from the Beach House Washi tape and stamped the bottom three rows – the top three rows are the washi tape. Everything is angled. I used the Crushed Curry Baker’s twine to go around the white layer and tied it in a bow and then put it on the front of the note card with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. A super quick and easy card!
The Beach House Washi tape is on the retired list and it’s 40% off making it only $2.97. If you are a Paper Pumpkin Subscriber you would have these stamps from your February 2015 kit.

Jul 17, 2014 | Big Shot, Cards, Washi Tape |
If you saw my photo from my craft room of the craftermath left from working on one of my swaps then you were probably wondering what was the result of that pile of products and mess. Well here you go – it’s this card.
It’s a remake of a card I created a few months ago. I wanted it to be current so I changed out the Washi Tape that I used and made it again with these new colors. The Washi Tape is called Sweet Sadie. I thought using the Washi tape on the vases made them look like decoupage.
To create this card I put the washi tape on a piece of whisper white card stock. Then stamped the vases over the top with Black Stazon ink. Then i cut them out – yes I cut out a lot of vases! Stamp the whole Vivid Vases image on another piece of Whisper White card stock (the layer on the front of the card) – then glue the cut out vases over the top of those stamped vases. I filled in the flowers with my Stampin’ Write markers.
The Twine tied to the frame is the Thick Baker’s Twine. I pulled apart the 3-ply for the Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantaloupe twine and took a piece of each and tied it around to add a little something to the frame.
Here is the list of everything I used. Remember you can click on the items to view or order them in my online store.
This was my swap card for the dinner Wednesday night with all my friends. I hope they like this card.

Today and tomorrow you can order from the old 2013-2014 Stampin’ Up! catalog and the NEW 2014-2015 Stampin’ Up! catalog at the same time. There is an overlap of a couple of days. Many of the retiring items are already sold out but those that aren’t can be ordered through tomorrow and Stampin’ Up! has even discounted some of the retiring items. You can see the most current availability list by looking in my online store – SHOP HERE.
This card combines the Gingham Garden Washi tape (it’s retiring and on sale) with the Vivid Vases stamp set (from the Occasions catalog and now in the new catalog!).
I wanted to make the vases look like a decoupage glass and decided the Washi tape would give me that look. This card does take a little time to make. I put the Washi Tape on a piece of Whisper White card stock and then stamped the vases on top of it with Black StazOn ink. Then I cut out each of the vases with my paper snips – so yes it is some fussy cutting but the vases are fairly easy to cut out.
This is how I completed the card:
- Card base is Daffodil Delight
- Front layer of Whisper White – stamp the Vivid Vases in Black StazOn ink.
- Color in the flowers/leaves with Stampin’ Write markers – Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz, Melon Mambo, Island Indigo
- add the cut out washi tape vases on top of the stamped vases
- die cut a frame with the On Film Framelits and the Big Shot from Basic Black card stock
- tie a Whisper White Baker’s Twine Bow (or the Island Indigo Baker’s Twine works too) on the edge of the frame
- Attach the frame around the stamped image using Stampin’ Dimensionals – I cut little bits of dimensionals to attach the frame.
If you wanted different words you could cover the words with the bottom of the frame and add other words underneath.
I really love how it turned out. I’m going to try another one with different colors of washi tape.

Look at this cute little note card that we made in my Saying Good-bye Hands On class.
As I was creating for my Saying Good-bye class I had a sheet of stamped flowers on my craft table left over from the mini scrapbook project we made during Stamper’s Club. And I thought – oh I should just turn that into a quick little note card. So that is what I did. Here are the details:

- Gingham Garden Washi Tape (retired list)
- Bright Blossoms stamp set (retired list)
- Sweet Essentials stamp set (retired list)

- Large Oval punch
- Scallop Oval punch

- Island Indigo & Pear Pizzazz Stampin’ Write Marker
- Daffodil Delight ink pad
And an update on the Bluebirds for you. The babies hatched on Mother’s Day! Now wasn’t that appropriate! She is going to be a busy mom with 6 babies – glad she has help from dad and her other babies. I did go buy some meal worms yesterday afternoon so it would be a little easier for them to find some food for all those babies.
in the morning on Mother’s day – 4 have hatched – 2 eggs
later on mother’s day – I thought all 6 had hatched but there is a faint hint of blue so there may still be one egg under the pile here
hungry babies on Tuesday May 13th
Have a great week!
