Welcome to the February 2021 PPPBH. This month’s kit is called Bouquet of Hope and it makes beautiful sympathy cards. I know these aren’t the most fun cards to make, but in my experience, it’s best to have them already made and on hand when you need them. I altered the kit to make a shabby chic style card and box: cut the stems from the large bouquet die cuts from the kit, and added smaller flowers to cover the cut area; flipped the gold doily over to the white side; and created a pop up insert for the card.

I used the Hey, Chick bundle (Hey, Chick stamp set and Chick Dies) along with the Pinewood Planks and Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folders to create this barnyard scene. The sentiment can be used for a birthday or any other time you want to with someone a happy day.

Today’s card is another one from my February Stamp Club gathering on Monday. The Seaside Seashells Dies, Seashells 3D Embossing Folder, and Pearlescent Specialty Paper are the real stars of this card. Just look at the texture on the pearlescent shells. Isn’t it beautiful? I also used the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set and Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper from the same Sand & Sea Suite Collection.

Today’s card is one we made at my February Stamp Club gathering. We made cards featuring products from the Sand & Sea Suite Collection: Friends Are Like Seashells Bundle (Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set & Seaside Seashells Dies – say that three times fast!) and Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper. I’m calling this a pieced card, but I guess it’s more of a rearranged card. The large die I used cuts out the shells and kelp all attached in one piece. I cut them apart and arranged them as you see them below.

Welcome to February 2021 IRBH! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects feature balloons, so you are in for a celebratory treat. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post, Brian King at Stamp with Brian.There’s a lot of inspiration to be found in this group and you don’t want to miss it!
My card is very simple. It’s a card base with some punched and die cut shapes and a small sentiment. The balloons are made with the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch – the scoop of ice cream flipped upside down looks like a bear or mouse, and I thought it would make adorable balloons. I used several soft colors of card stock for this baby card. You can buy each color separately of course, but most of the colors come in a multi-pack. I’ve listed them all at the bottom of this post.

Cut using the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch:
scoops from scraps of Petal Pink, So Saffron, Soft Sea Foam, Balmy Blue, and Purple Posy CS
Assembled the card:
burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
white twine adhered onto the back of the upside-down-scoop-balloons using Tear & Tape
2 of the balloons glued onto the front of the card base, near the top
a couple of mini Stampin’ Dimensionals applied onto the front of the card base, where the sentiment will go, with a tiny gap between them about 1/8″ wide
strings of the balloons strung between the mini Stampin’ Dimensionals, and held in place with a piece of Post-It Tape (or you could use a Post-It Note) I left the backings on the dimensionals for this part.
2 more balloons adhered beneath the first ones using Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the strings added to the first ones
the fifth balloon adhered using Stampin’ Dimensionals in the center, and glue along the top where it overlaps the 2 balloons above it, then the string added to the others
2 Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals applied onto the back of the sentiment, one at each end, making sure there is space between them for the strings and two dimensionals on the card front
backs of all four dimensionals removed and sentiment adhered over the strings
ends of the strings trimmed using Paper Snips (I keep a separate pair just for ribbon.)
