Easy Handmade Card Using This Little Piggy Stamp Set

Hello, my crafty friends. Hope you enjoyed last week's card for the Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop! If you missed it, click HERE for a quick jump to get all the details. I thought this week I would share a simple design for quick and easy cardmaking. The stamp set is This Little Piggy (AC p. 33).
This sweet card starts with a Mint Macaron Cardstock base that coordinates beautifully with this 2" x 5 1/2" piece from the new 2019-21 In Color Designer Series Paper in Pretty Peacock. These two colors complement each other very well.  I used one of each of the three sizes of the coordinating Faceted Gems.

If you feel that a detailed instruction sheet would help you recreate this card yourself, please send me a message and I will respond with a list of dimensions and product guide.

Stamp On!!

Free as a Bird Collides with Mosaic Mood

Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the June Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop! I am participating in this blog hop with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from the United States, Canada, Australia and United Kingdom. You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you may be coming from Sandra Roberts' blog. Nicely done, Sandra!  Welcome one and all.

The theme for our blog hop this month is anything, anything at all, from the new 2019-20 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. You have seen the new catty by now so you know that is quite a universe to draw from -- my pick is Free as a Bird stamp set (see AC pp. 90-92).
This sweet card starts with a Mint Macaron Cardstock base that coordinates with the colors in this beautiful sheet from the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper (see all of the designs of this SDSP packet, AC p. 167). Using Memento Ink stamp the single bird on Very Vanilla Cardstock and color using Stampin' Blends (Crumb Cake Dark and Light, Calypso Coral Light) and easily fussy cut (we can't have a die for everything!). The branch is a die from Seasonal Layers (AC p. 195) in Soft Suede and the leaves are punched using the Leaf Punch (AC p. 187) in Mossy Meadow and Vellum Cardstock.

The flowers and leaves images are stamped on an angled cut piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock using the new 2019-21 In Color Rococo Rose and Garden Green. Use the Subtle 3D embossing folder, then sponge the edges with Early Espresso. On a separate piece of Very Vanilla stamp another flower, lightly sponge the center for some color and easily fussy cut. Stamp your sentiment and Punch+ using the Everyday Label punch (AC p. 187) and sponge the edges with Early Espresso.
Definition of terms:
  1. In Color - Stampin' Up! introduces 5 new colors every year that have a catalog life of two (2) years. These new colors complement the 40 exclusive colors that historically stay current for several years.
  2. Punch+ means to trim using punch or scissors to create a new shape. 
I have not stamped the inside sentiment or the envelope, but I will use the same color scheme. A detailed instruction sheet is available upon request with any purchase of $20 or more through my online store using this month's host code. (See below.)

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I sure hope you have enjoyed my card using products from the new 2019-20 Annual Catalog. Leave a comment below with a trail to find you so I can see your creations.

Please check out the great project by our next blog hopper, Anastasia Radloff.
