Easy to Make Weather Together Card

Today I wanted to share with you a card using the Weather Together Stamp Set and Die Cuts.


I have divided this landscape card into three sections using one of the thinner tapes in the Basics Washi Tape pack. A sentiment running lengthwise along the left-hand side is one of the classic card designs - and one of my favorites!

The last day to order this stamp set and die cut bundle is tomorrow, May 31, as they will retire when the new catalog goes live on June 1.

As always, I would love to see your creations with this stamp set so drop a comment below with a trail on how to find it.

Stamp on!

Daisy Delight Bundle for Birthdays

Today makes my 4-month anniversary for keeping my commitment to blog every Wednesday. I must admit that I did not think that I could do it, but (YAY) I did!

I want to share with you another version of the card I made for my Mother's Day cards. If you would like to see the original post from May 9th.  Click Here

I have kept the basic design of this Daisy Delight card yet changed up the ribbon, the leaves, and the sentiment. I am going to be so sad to see the Painted with Love DSP retire - that little bit of gold splashes. So yummy.



You might notice that I ran out of the heart shapes from the Corrugated Elements group. I used the oval shape and punched a small heart to keep with the heart theme.

Leave a comment below with a method to reach you so I can see your creations with the Daisy Delight stamp set and Daisy punch.

Time for some business...

Father's Day Truly Tailored Card Recipe and Tips

Yesterday on the Blog Hop with several Stampin' Up! demonstrators, I shared my Father's Day card featuring the Truly Tailored Bundle and the True Gentlemen Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Buttons. I sure hope you enjoyed the blog hop. What a great group of ladies in this Blog Hop. They all love to share everything Stampin' Up! As promised, today I am sharing my tips and tricks for my card.



My goal is to utilize every inch of the DSP drives every cut of my DSP. Cutting this piece of the DSP at 4" x 3" will give you 12 card fronts (2 cuts of 4" down from the top and 3 cuts of 3" across from the side). The Dapper Denim piece is 4" x 2 1/4" so this layer totals 4" x 5 1/4". Then emboss using the Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF).

To make the cute embellishment, after stamping the sentiment from the Truly Tailored stamp set i
n Dapper Denim on Very Vanilla Card Stock, instead of centering the sentiment in the Tailored Tag punch window, move the upper edge of the image for a cut that does not allow as much "white space." Maybe this picture will help.



Then adhere a scrap piece to the back of the sentiment for a "handle" and punch the lower edge of the sentiment close with a similar "white space" edge,


Then snip both sides to make the "white space" even around the sentiment.



Adhere to a full punch of Dapper Denim and stack on dimensionals with a twist of Burlap Ribbon. I secured the ribbon with small glue dots.

Finally, for the "Dad" flag, stamp on a strip of Dapper Denim, adhere to a slightly larger strip of Very Vanilla and flag both ends pushing the strip through the top of the Tailored Tag punch, line it up evenly (as shown, looks like a little house, right?) and punch.



So two additional uses for the Tailored Tag Punch. Yay! Then adhere a couple of the small True Gentlemen Buttons and this card is all set!!

I really hope you enjoyed my card and the Blog Hop See you next Wednesday for another new card.


Stamp On!!

Father's Day Blog Hop Featuring Truly Tailored Bundle



Welcome to the Father's Day Blog Hop! I am participating again in a blog hop with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all over the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia! You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you maybe coming from Emilie Poncelet's blog. Welcome one and all. The theme for our blog this month is to create a card or project for Father's Day. Here in the States, that is celebrated on June 17th.



My card features the Truly Tailored bundle and the True Gentlemen DSP (Designer Series paper) from the Occasions catalog. The stamp set and the DSP will no longer be available after May 31, but the Tailored Tag Punch will carry over. Did you happen to notice the other use for this punch on my card? The top point of the punch is used to create the flag on the Dad banner (see next image). This punch will make an awesome addition to your collection and complement the Banner Triple Punch for all your flags! Check back tomorrow for some quick tips on making the Dad banner.

Although Night of Navy was one of the featured colors in the DSP, I love the way Dapper Denim brings this card together. And how about the large, all caps "DAD." I love one word sentiments, especially when they are in large fonts -- and maybe it is just because they are more pleasing to my aging eyes.  Here's a quick peek at the inside of the card.



Leave a comment below with a trail to find you. I would be interested in seeing your creations. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! Make sure you keep hopping along to see all the other great cards and projects. Click on the "Next" button below to visit Melanie Coverston's blog.

Daisy Delight Bundle for Mother's Day

Today I thought I would share a Mother's Day card with you.  And, I thought that we should use my favorite stamp set -- Daisy Delight -- and my favorite DSP (Designer Series Paper) -- Painted with Love Speciality DSP from the Occasions Catalog. Sometimes I struggle with collage-type cards because I prefer simple and clean, but I think this one card turned out pretty good.  What do you think?  What would you do differently? Please share your ideas.



Also, I have a challenge for you.  Can you name the 3 retiring products I used on my card? Every year with the release of the new annual catalog, as you may know, not everything carries over. Sad to see so many things go, but it is necessary to make room for the new, amazing products. I know you are going to love everything.  Message me if you need a catalog.
