Quick and Easy Handmade Card Featuring Pattern Play Stamp Set

Hello, my crafty friends. Today I thought I would share a couple of cards based on my card design from earlier this month using the Playing with Patterns Suite (AC pp. 100-102).

The card base is a side fold A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4") in Misty Moonlight. The mat is a 2 1/4" strip of a pretty pattern sheet from the Playing with Patterns 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, and a second 2 1/4" strip of the Misty Moonlight pattern sheet from the 2020-22 In Color Designer Series Paper Assortment. I covered the seam between the two different sheets of DSP with a 1" strip of Night of Navy. The "HBD" initials were cut using the Playful Alphabet Dies, and a second set of "HBD" initials were cut from a scrap of Pool Party cardstock - inlaid to create this fun element.

The sentiment is from the Pattern Play Stamp Set and I used the "sparkle" images in Night of Navy and Bermuda Bay in the background to coordinate with the pattern sheet.

This second card, based on my original card design in Crushed Curry, was the card that we made in the monthly FaceBook LIVE workshop. Since I sent out kits to everyone, I kept it simple, but it turned out so cute.

There are only a few more days of Sale-A-Bration. I would appreciate it if you would place your order using the February host code (below or on the sidebar). Any orders this month will receive the card kits for next month's workshop. PLEASE MAKE A NOTE: Normally, the workshops are the third Saturday of the month, but I need to move next month's workshop to March 27.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!  I hope my project has inspired your creativity. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.

February Paper Crafting Blog Hop


Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the February Paper Crafting Blog Hop! I am participating in this blog hop with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from across the globe! You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you may be coming from Annette McMillan's blog. Great project, Netty! Welcome one and all.

For this month's blog hop, we are all featuring Sale-A-Bration product in our projects. As you know, there is an awesome collection of stamp sets and paper to select from as your reward for purchases. Today I am mixing it up and have created this super cute card using three Sale-A-Bration products: Berry Blessings Stamp Set (SAB Level 2, pp. 14-15), Punch Party Stamp Set (SAB Hostess, p. 17) and Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper (SAB Level 1, p. 7).

I was so excited to earn the Punch Party Stamp Set because there are three coordinating punches: Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch, Double Oval Punch, and the Heart Punch Pack. (After weeks of valentine's cards, I decided to give everyone a break from the hearts today!!) 

Tip: Double punch two of the images with the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch to create the squares!! Don't you love the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch!

The Berry Blessings Stamp Set and Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper coordinate with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle (Jan-Jun 21 MC, p.44, Item# 156214), however, I did not use the bundle on this card.

So, now it is time to check out the great project by our next blog hopper, Maureen Rauchfuss.

This is a full list of our bloggers this month and their links in case you find yourself off track:

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!  I hope my project has inspired your creativity. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.

Be sure to check out the Business News section below - there is lots of information and updates to share, including a discussion on free products from the Sale-A-Bration flyer with each $50 purchase. BUT, all good things must come to an end and these fantastic Sale-A-Bration products will no longer be available after February 28 so time is of the essence!!

Quick and Easy Handmade Card Featuring Posted for You Punch Bundle

Hello, my crafty friends. Tell me, have you been busy crafting with this week? I have been playing with my new punch bundle - Posted For You Stamp Set and Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch (AC p. 81) this past weekend. This stamp set has some really beautiful images that fit perfectly inside this punch. Take a look at my card in the 2020-22 In Color Misty Moonlight.


The card base is a side fold A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4") in Misty Moonlight cardstock. The mat is the circle pattern sheet from the 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Assortment (cut 3" x 5 1/2") and although it does not make a difference for the pattern sheet I chose, you want to cut your pattern sheet in landscape.

The images were stamped on a strip of Basic White cardstock. In order to adhere to the Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch piece, I trimmed each and centered the images to fit (cut 1 13/16" w x 1 3/4" h). For me it was easier to trim after stamping, but, of course, you decide which is easier for you.

I stamped the sentiment on a long, 1/2" strip of Basic White cardstock, flagged the ends and adhered over the top of the staggered images. Of course, no card with a love sentiment is complete without hearts, so I punched several using the heart on the Dog Builder Punch in the scraps from the DSP.

We will be using Posted For You Bundle along with the Pattern Play SS to make a couple of cards at the February workshop (Sat. Feb. 20). It will be on Facebook Live this month. As always I recommend taking advantage of the 10% discount pricing for the bundle.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!  I hope my project has inspired your creativity. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.

Quick and Easy Handmade Card Featuring Pattern Play Stamp Set

Hello, my crafty friends. While playing with some stamps out on the craft table this weekend, I thought well maybe we should continue making cards using the Playing with Patterns Suite (AC pp. 100-102). I am not certain if this card qualifies for Simple Stamping status as it uses the coordinating Playful Alphabet Dies, but it was super easy and quick to put together.


The card base is a side fold A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4") in Crushed Curry cardstock. The mat is a pretty pattern sheet from the Playing with Patterns 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (cut 4" x 5 1/4" in a landscape format). I used the Playful Alphabet Dies for the "HBD" initials -- which for those of you unsure, this is an abbreviation used in social media for Happy Birthday!! I cut a set of "HBD" from a scrap of Calypso Coral and inlaid to create this fun element.

My sentiment is from the Pattern Play Stamp Set and I popped up the two small inset words to add some detail. I also added two 1/4" strips of coordinating cardstock to create sections.

We will be using the Pattern Play SS to make a couple of cards at the February workshop (Sat. Feb. 20). It will be a Facebook Live this month. As always I recommend purchasing the coordinating dies, Playful Alphabet, to take advantage of the 10% discount pricing, however, I will not be using the dies during our virtual workshop to prevent excluding those crafty fans that do not have a die cut machine yet -- but you really should consider purchasing the new Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine (there is even a mini version!).

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!  I hope my project has inspired your creativity. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.
