Feb 7, 2018 | Blog Hop, Cards, Challenges, Gallery, Sale-A-Bration, Techniques |
The Sale-A-Bration continues…with a color challenge! This month’s ICS Blog Hop is all about Sale-A-Bration, plus we’re using specific colors. We could use any of these five colors: Crumb Cake, Bermuda Bay, Dapper Denim, Night of Navy, and Island Indigo for our projects. I used all but one (Dapper Denim.) I used the Amazing You stamp set and the coordinating Celebrate You Thinlits Dies – both are available for FREE with a qualifying order during Sale-A-Bration (only through March 31!)
I used a technique whose name I can’t remember to save my life. I glued different colored strips of card stock to a larger piece of CS, then die cut from that, so the die cut words are multicolor. Tell me what you think!
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:

- Optional: Whisper White CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside
Stamped with the Amazing You stamp set:
- “celebrate” in Crumb Cake ink onto the Crumb Cake CS layer
Die cut using the Celebrate You Thinlits:
- two words from the strips of CS (see below)
- NOTE: I used the Precision Base Plate on the Big Shot to cut through the layers with the Thinlits Dies.
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- Night of Navy CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
- Island Indigo CS layer glued onto the Night of Navy CS layer
- Bermuda Bay CS layer glued onto the Island Indigo CS layer

Jan 24, 2018 | Blog Hop, Cards, Gallery |
It’s time for the InKing Royalty Blog Hop! I’m extra excited about today’s because we have some wonderful guests. The lovely Louise Sharp of Australia is joining us. Louise is as sweet as she can be and so are her projects. Pam Morris, Mary Fish, and Lisa Pretto are joining us today. So this hop is super jam packed with talent.
The theme of today’s hop is …
Remember the Partridge Family song? Or if you’re too young to remember it, have you heard it? You can hear it here.
I used the Lovely Inside & Out Bundle (Lovely Inside & Out stamp set and Lovely Words Thinlits Dies) along with watercolor paper and an Aqua Painter to create today’s card. It can be a Valentine to just about anyone, from your lover to your nephew to your grandmother, or it can be sent just because you want someone to know you’re thinking about them. I love multi-purpose cards!
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Dapper Denim card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- Whisper White CS cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
- Watercolor Paper cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″
- Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside
Colored using the Aqua Painters:
- Watercolor Paper with plain water, to get the surface wet so the colors would move easily
- Watercolor Paper in Berry Burst, Dapper Denim, Fresh Fig, and Lemon Lime Twist inks
Stamped with the Lovely Inside & Out stamp set:
- top and bottom sentiments in Basic Black ink onto the Watercolor Paper
- NOTE: Be sure the Watercolor Paper is completely dry before stamping onto it. If you’re impatient, you can use a Heat Tool to speed the drying process.
Die cut using the Lovely Words Thinlits:
- “hugs” from a scrap of Dapper Denim CS
Cut using Paper Snips:
- removed the circle from around the die cut word
Assembled the card:
- Burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- Die cut word glued onto the Watercolor Paper, between the stamped sentiments
- Watercolor Paper glued onto the 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ Whisper White CS
- 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ Whisper White CS glued onto the front of the card base

Jan 11, 2018 | Blog Hop, Boxes, Cards, Decor, Gallery, Gifts, New Products, Occasions, Sale-A-Bration, Tags |
This is my first time participating in the One Stamp at a Time (OSAT) Blog Hop. I’m thrilled to join this talented group of stampers. After you read my post, I hope you’ll click through to the next stop on the hop.
Today we’re highlighting products from the 2018 Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Catalogs. I chose the Tutti-Frutti Suite from the Occasions Catalog (p.28-29) and the coordinating Tutti-Frutti Cards & Envelopes from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog (p.14.) These products are chock full of sweet images, sentiments, and embellishments – even self adhesive sequins! And the colors are what I call Happy Colors. Just look at the the colors in the Tutti-Frutti Designer Series Paper:
Here’s what I made:
Tea light holder:
Tea light holder with a lit tea light inside: (Only use a battery operated tea light – never real flame.)
Tag front:
Tag back:
Inside of the card:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Night of Navy card stock (CS) cut to 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″
- Tutti-Frutti Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″
- Night of Navy CS cut to 2-3/4″ x 3-1/8″
- Whisper White CS cut to 2-5/8″ x 3″
- 2 Tutti-Frutti card bases – 3/8″ cut off one end, and scored 3/8″ from the other end
- Whisper White CS cut to 4-1/8″ x 4-1/8″, then scored 1/4″ from each of the four sides
- Tutti-Frutti DSP cut to 2″ x 4″
- Whisper White CS cut to 1-3/4″ x 3-1/8″
Stamped with the Fruit Basket stamp set:
- bowl in Garden Green ink onto a scrap of Lemon Lime Twist CS
- 7 strawberries in Real Red and Lemon Lime Twist inks onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
- card sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto the 2-5/8″ x 3″ Whisper White CS
- tag sentiment in Lemon Lime Twist ink onto the 1-3/4″ x 3-1/8″ Whisper White CS
- a strawberry in Real Red and Lemon Lime Twist inks onto the inside of a third card base
- a strawberry in Real Red and Lemon Lime Twist inks onto the front of the envelope
Cut using the Itty Bitty Fruit Punch Pack:
- 7 strawberries from the Whisper White CS scrap
- 3 strawberries from each side of the 2 trimmed card bases, near the bottom
Cut with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch:
- one end of the 2″ x 4″ DSP, to create the tag
Die cut using the Eastern Medallion Thinlits:
- a medallion from each side of the 2 trimmed card bases
Cut using Paper Snips:
Colored using a Stampin’ Write Marker:
- darkened some of the strawberry tops in Lemon Lime Twist
- added shadows to the bowl in Lemon Lime Twist
Assembled the card:
- 6 strawberries glued onto the back of the bowl
- bowl of strawberries and the one remaining strawberry adhered to the 2-5/8″ x 3″ Whisper White CS with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals
- 2-5/8″ x 3″ Whisper White CS glued onto the 2-3/4″ x 3-1/8″ Night of Navy CS
- 2-3/4″ x 3-1/8″ Night of Navy CS glued onto the 3-3/4″ x 5″ DSP
- 3-3/4″ x 5″ DSP DSP glued onto the 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8 Night of Navy CS
- 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8 Night of Navy CS glued onto the front of the card base (this is the untrimmed card base with a strawberry stamped inside)
Assembled the tealight holder:
- burnished all score lines of the 2 trimmed card bases with a Bone Folder
- adhered the 3/8″ section of each card base to the inside of the other card base, to form the four sides of the holder
- burnished all score lines of the 4-1/8″ x 4-1/8″ Whisper White CS with a Bone Folder
- cut one score line at each corner to create tabs
- glued each tab to the inside of the adjacent side to create a tray for the bottom of the holder
- put the tray inside the holder and glue on all four sides – I found it easiest to drop the tray down into the holder and press it to the bottom, then flip it over and squeeze a little glue between the two pieces.
- applied Tutti-Frutti Washi Tape around the top and bottom of the holder
- NOTE: You can just have the four sides. You don’t have to have the bottom tray, but I think it adds stability and shape to the holder.
Assembled the tag:
- 3/4″ x 3-1/8″ Whisper White CS glued to the blue side of the DSP tag
- 3 self adhesive sequins applied to the tag
- ran 5″ of Lemon Lime Twist 3/8″ Mini Striped Ribbon through the hole
- tied a piece of Whisper White Solid Twine around the ribbon
- attached tag to the tealight holder with a mini white clothes pin from the Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit

This is the second card I’ve made using the Bubble Over Bundle – you can see the first one here. I really like these products. They’re fun and colorful and fit so many different occasions. The main reason I chose it for today’s card is because today is National Drinking Straw Day! So what could be more perfect than a card with drinking straws on it?
Bubble Over Bundle © Stampin’ Up!
Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper © Stampin’ Up!
Since the 2018 Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Catalogs went live today, we at the Inspire Create Share Blog Hop thought it appropriate to showcase some of the new products. So today’s theme is A Recipe for Sale-A-Bration. We are featuring projects that use a Sale-A-Bration (SAB) product and other products that will get you up to the order you need to get it for FREE! My SAB product today is the Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper (DSP) – yes, you can get this amazing DSP for FREE with a qualifying order.
When you scroll down and see what’s listed under Here’s What I Used, you’ll see more than just the main ingredients of the card. That’s because I like to show every single thing I used so you can purchase something if you don’t already have it.
Here’s how to get the Bubbles & Fizz DSP:
- Bubble Over Bundle $40.50, Whisper White Thick card stock $7.00, and Silver Foil Sheets $4.oo, totaling $51.50.
- Or you could use different card stock you already have, instead of the Silver Foil Sheet, and add a Bermuda Bay ink pad, totaling $54.00.
- Or how about this – Bubble Over Bundle $40.50, Whisper White Thick card stock $7.00, Silver Foil Sheets $4.oo, Cupcake Cutout Framelits Dies $27.00, Bermuda Bay & Calypso Coral ink pads 2 x $6.50, Stampin’ Dimensionals $4.00, Multipurpose Liquid Glue $4.00, throw in the Glitter & Clear Epoxy Shapes (Item#145632) that I used on yesterday’s card $7.00, totaling $106.50. With this order you can get the DSP plus another SAB item for free!
- I used the Cupcake Cutout Framelits Dies for the sentiment banner on today’s card, but if you don’t have them, you can just cut and score the paper with your Stampin’ Trimmer and notch the ends with either Paper Snips or the Banner Triple Punch (Item #138292, $$23.00.)
The thing is, for every $50 of goodies you get from your wish list, you get a FREE SAB item! And for every $100, you get either 2 FREE SAB items, or one of the two larger SAB items on pages 17 and 19. It’s a win win!
CLICK HERE for more details on Sale-A-Bration.
Here’s what I made:
The bottles from yesterday’s card were stamped, but these bottles were cut directly from the DSP, saving a step – just one more reason to have the DSP!
Here’s a close up of the drinking straws:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Whisper White Thick card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ (blue layer)
- Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 3″ x 4-3/4″ (coral layer)

- straws (2) from a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
- bottle caps (2) from a Silver Foil Sheet
- bottles (2) from a third pattern of the DSP
Die cut using the Cupcake Cutouts Framelits:
Assembled the card:
- burnished the card base score line, and the score lines in the sentiment banner, with a Bone Folder

Dec 20, 2017 | Blog Hop, Christmas, Gallery, Gift Wrap, Gifts, Holiday, Tags |
It’s time for the InKing Royalty December blog hop. This month we’re sharing how we wrap it up for the holidays, using our Stampin’ Up! products in gift wrapping. Since my husband and I spend Christmas at the homes of relatives, we have a lot of Christmas gifts to fit into the trunk of our car. I knew that any kind of bows would be crushed, so I decided to decorate the wrapped gifts with flat ornamentation. I’ve used a few different stamp sets and embellishments. I’m sharing a few of them with you today.
After reading my post, be sure to check out all the other stops on the hop. You don’t want to miss any of the talent in this group. Plus Jenny Hall is joining us as guest hopper this month!

Dec 6, 2017 | Blog Hop, Boxes, Christmas, Food, Gift Wrap, Gifts, Holiday |
Need an inexpensive gift in a hurry for someone who loves Christmas and chocolates? Today’s gift box is just what you need. I love this big, bold sentiment from the Tags & Trimmings stamp set heat embossed in gold, but of course, you can use any sentiment you’d like. You can also change the word inside to any word with at least one O, like Noel, Mom, Wow, Boo, Robert,… 
This month’s blog hop theme is A December to Remember. We are highlighting Christmas cards and gifts. After you check out my post, be sure to check out everyone else on the hop.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Real Red card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 11-1/2″ and scored 1-1/2″ from each of the four sides, for the box
- Real Red CS cut to 4-1/16″ x 10-1/16″ and scored 3/4″ from each of the four sides, for the lid
- Chocolate Chip CS cut to 2-1/4″ x 8-1/4″ for a layer on the lid
- Real Red CS cut to 2″ x 8″ for a layer on the lid
- Real Red CS cut to 3-7/16″ x 9-7/16″ and scored 1/2″ from each of the four sides, for the insert
Stamped with the Tags & Trimmings stamp set:
- “Enjoy” in Versamark ink onto the Real Red layer for the lid, then heat embossed in gold
Die cut using the Large Letters Framelits:
- three Hs from a Gold Foil Sheet
Cut using the 1-3/8″” Circle Punch:
- 3 circles from a contrasting scrap of paper
- laid the die cut Hs and the punched circles on the insert to determine where they should go
- glued the Hs in place
- punched the 3 circles from the insert – fold under the 1/2″ side to get the CS all the way into the punch
- 3 circles from a scrap of a Gold Foil Sheet, leaving enough room to stamp around the holes with the larger punch*
Cut with the 1-3/4″ Circle Punch:
- the 3 gold foil circles, to make rings*
Assembled the box:
- The box, lid, and insert are all put together the same way:
- a) burnished all score lines with a bone folder for nice crisp corners
- b) glued the tabs to the inside of the adjacent side
- set insert into the box (no adhesive required)
- glued gold rings around each hole
- added candies to the holes – I put one Mini Glue Dot under each so they would stick to the bottom of the box and not move around in case the box was jostled.
- put the lid on the box
