Here's one last Sale-a-bration card for the season. I CASEd this from a card I found on Pinterest by Stampin' Up! Concept Artist Melody Hyde. (See Melody's card here.) I love the combination of Sale-a-bration products. I even added one more - the Sweet Sorbet Twine.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Banner Blast stamp set, Hip Notes stamp set, Sahara Sand ink, Summer Starfruit ink, Pool Party ink & cardstock, Crisp Cantaloupe ink, Calypso Coral ink, Whisper White cardstock, Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper, Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack, Word Bubble Framelits, Banner Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals

I love this little trick that Melody shared on a Stampin' Up! Corporate Blog post. You can use the Word Bubble Framelits to cut just part of the cardstock to make a bigger Word Bubble shape. Melody shared some other tips for different ways to use the Word Bubble Framelits here.

Peaceful Petals Tri-Panel Card

I used an old favorite layout for this card featuring the Peaceful Petals stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog. Sometimes I find it hard to use stamp sets with larger images, but you don't have to use the entire image! On this card, I allowed the flower images to go off the sides of the cardstock panels.

 

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Peaceful Petals, Jet Black Staz-On Ink, So Saffron ink/marker & cardstock, Rose Red ink/marker & cardstock, Pear Pizzazz cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder, White Taffeta Ribbon, Mini Glue Dots, Envelope Punch Board (or Corner Rounder)

This is your last chance to collect these limited edition stamp sets.

Each stamp set includes a special "25" sticker. When you collect 6 stamp sets (and thus 6 stickers), you can redeem them on a special Collector's Card and get a FREE stamp set valued at $14.95 or less! Collector's Card must be redeemed by April 30, 2014.

Retro Fresh Washi Tape Sale-a-bration Birthday Card

As a demonstrator, I participate in card swaps to trade card ideas and get samples to share with my customers. Some of my favorite swaps come from my friend Georgia Giguere. Her "simple but stellar" style appeals to me and I usually end up "CASEing" her cards! Today's card is one that I copied from one of Georgia's swaps. I love how she used the Retro Fresh Washi Tape at the bottom of the card. The only thing I changed was using a different framelit to cut out the See Ya Later sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: See Ya Later stamp set, Baked Brown Sugar ink pad, Tangerine Tango cardstock, Coastal Cabana cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Retro Fresh Washi Tape, Chalk Talk Framelits (Big Shot)

VIDEO: Hidden Slider Card Tutorial

When I first saw the Penny Farthing bike in the Timeless Talk stamp set, I wanted to make it move across a card. I designed this slider card as one of the three cards for my March Stamp of the Month Club series. The slider mechanism is really quite easy to make and strategic placement of adhesive and designer paper will allow you to hide the slider so it's not visible. The tag moves like "magic"!

When you slide the tag to the left, the message moves out from behind the card front.

Watch my video tutorial to learn how to make this card at home in just a few easy steps.
Stampin' Up! Supplies: Timeless Talk stamp set, Jet Black Staz-On Ink, Very Vanilla cardstock, Basic Black cardstock, Crumb Cake cardstock, Modern Medley Designer Paper, Scallop Tag Topper Punch, Word Window Punch, Pearl Jewel Accents, 1/8" Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals

You're Lovely CASE + NEW! Weekly Deals

It's Tuesday! That means it's time for new Weekly Deals! This week, stock up on specialty paper, designer paper, and cardstock! This is the LAST WEEK for Sale-a-bration, so make sure to get your orders in by next Monday to get a free gift for every $50 that you order!

Here's a card I CASEd from my friend Mary Ellen Stites. I changed the colors and only used a half doily on my card. The full stamp in You're Lovely coordinates with the Deco Label Framelits, but the center of the stamp fits perfectly in the 1-3/4" Circle Punch, so there's two ways to use it!

TIP: To get the chevrons on the ribbon both facing toward the center, cut the ribbon in half and turn one half to face the other direction.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: You're Lovely stamp set (SAB), Jet Black Staz-On Ink, Whisper White cardstock, Pistachio Pudding marker & cardstock, Crisp Cantaloupe marker, Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper (SAB), Tea Lace Doilies, Chevron Ribbon, Pearl Jewel Accents, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch

Featured Stamp Set for March: Timeless Talk

Timeless Talk Gate Fold Card

Here is the second card in the March series for my Stamp of the Month Club. This month, I'm featuring the Timeless Talk stamp set. I have been eying this stamp set since it first came out in the Annual catalog last summer and finally got a chance to play with it this month. I love the classic black and ivory color theme with vintage touches like the Delicate Doily and Modern Medley Designer Paper.

Click here to learn more about Stamp of the Month Club and how you can get this card in your first package. 

This is a gate fold card with a belly band to hold it closed. I started with a 4-1/4" x 11" piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and scored at 2" and 7-1/2". I used a Top Note on the inside of the card.
