Polka Dot Pieces Stamp Set and Bird Builder Punch

After last month's club, I felt like we should get back to some old-fashion stamping.  I think you will like this one, especially the color scheme of 2014-16 Lost Lagoon, Calypso Coral, and Crumb Cake.

Polka Dot Pieces Stamp Set (AC p. 139) is a great combo stamp set that includes images that coordinates with Stampin' Up! punches, like several scallop circle punches, 1 3/4" and 1 1/4" (flowers, easy), the Elegant Butterfly Punch (makes butterflies, easy peasy), and the Bird Builder Punch (makes the bird, real cute too).

And the sentiment makes an awesome stem! (Sorry, Mrs. Hinni - my favorite English teacher - i. I had to start this sentence with an "and" because it needed it.)

The flower is built on a layer of Very Vanilla card stock, then a layer of Lost Lagoon card stock trimmed with the scalloped edge punch, a layer of Crumb Cake card stock trimmed with the scalloped edge punch, and adhered to a card base of Very Vanilla card stock, again, trimmed with the scalloped edge punch.  It is not very clear in this photograph, but with the front of the card trimmed with the scalloped edge punch, the inside of the card shows through and is trimmed with a piece of coordinating Flowerpot Designer Series Paper.

Finishing touch in the bottom right corner is the coordinating ribbon --- 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon in Lost Lagoon.

Let me know how you like this card.  If you need any of the supplies to make this card, I would appreciate it if you would select me as your Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  Visit my online store at sandee904.stampinup.net.

St. Louis Cards and Stamping Definitely Go Together

Wow, I can't believe it has been more than 2 months since the last time I posted!! Sorry for the delay.  It has been really busy, but 2 months?  Anyway...

****
This month’s club card is a tribute to my favorite baseball team – St. Louis Cardinals.  Go Cards!!

Converted this regular, but really cute bird from Stampin’ Up! bird builder punch, into my favorite red bird.  I think you will see that I snipped a piece from a second punch of the wing in Real Red Card Stock for the tuft of feathers on his head, and a couple of separate punches of the tail feathers for fluffier tail.

The fence is made from strips of Whisper White Card Stock.  I ran it through the Big Shot using the wood grain embossing folder to give it that real wood, whitewash look.

The birdhouse on top of the fence post is made from a small, rectangle piece of Whisper White Card Stock, with scraps leftover from the fence for the roof and the door is the new itty bitty heart punch.


Looks good.

Stamp On!  Sandy

Petal Parade Stamp Set and Sweet Sorbet DSP

This month’s club card was a rocket-fast card made with a wide slip of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Sweet Sorbet DSP (offered in the Sale-A-Bration catalog), a couple of die cuts and punches, a flower image from the Petal Parade stamp set (also found in the Sale-A-Bration catalog), and sentiment from Itty Bitty Banners.

At first I was not in love with the Petal Parade Stamp Set offered by Stampin’ Up! as one of several free product with every $50 purchase. I think you will agree that this is going to make a swell addition to your collection of stamp sets like everything else by Stampin’ Up! The best part, of course, is the coordination of stamp sets to DSP or die cuts, and this stamp set coordinates with another free product in the Sale-A-Bration catalog, Sweet Sorbet DSP. Delicate colors that will complement your spring projects using the 2013-15 In Colors (Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding), 2012-14 In Colors (Summer Starfruit), and everyone’s staple, Pool Party from the Subtles Collection.

Behind the stamped flower image you will recognize the Blossom Punch. The flower image is cut out using the Circles Collection Framelit (#4, I believe), and centered on a complete punch of Crisp Cantaloupe with the Blossom Punch. The second Blossom Punch of Summer Starfruit cut into 6 pieces and centered between each petal of the first flower. Finished with Pistachio Pudding leaves on stems using the Bird Builder Punch.

If you need dimensions or detailed instructions, let me know, and I’d be happy to send them out to you. Send an email or message me below.
