Pop of Paradise - VIP card

Good Evening All!!

I hope that everyone had a Fabulous 4th of July weekend !!!

Having some really bad storms here tonight in Minneapolis.  High winds gusting 70 to 80 mph, torrential rains almost 3" in about 2 1/2 hours and then NO POWER for about the same time period.

However, better late than not at all, right?  Tonight I want to share the "Pop of Paradise" - VIP card from the Stamp A Stack.  This is such a FUN set, especially for the Summertime!!


So let's get started shall we!

The VIP card is always a very Special card that customers can qualify to make by bringing a quest with them to Stamp A Stack.  This time there was an extra incentive to bring someone who had not attended the last Stamp A Stack in February.  All the cards for the Stamp A Stack were created and designed by Susan Campfield and Brenda Cardinal.  Thank you ladies for such Awesome cards !!   

Stamp Set:              Pop of Paradise

   Emerald Envy             5 1/2" x  8 1/2"    Scored @ 4 1/4"

Whisper White               4"  x 5 1/4"  for the Inside of card                                                                

Plus a scrap for the greeting

  Stamped a few of the same leaves as on the front of the card inside too, bottom right hand corner!    

                                                           

Garden Green, Melon Mambo, and Emerald Envy Ink,   3/8" Emerald Envy Ruched Ribbon,  Dimensionals,  1 3/8" Circle Punch

                                                         

   Such an adorable card to send to a friend or a neighbor just to say "Hello" !!!                                        Easy peasy and who wouldn't want to receive this card in their mailbox?  I know, right!!                                                              

Thanks again for taking time to stop by and check out my blog.

Alternative Design for the Hand Sanitizer Holder

Happy Friday !!

                  The long weekend and 4th of July Holiday is almost upon us !!
                         Wishing Everyone a Safe and Happy 4th of July !!

Today, I'm so excited to share an Alternative Design for the Hand Sanitizer Holder that I shared with you recently.  ( Click Here ) to see the original post.

My fellow sister Demonstrator Terri Snider came up with this alternative Design, as she wasn't able to find the Flamingo or the Pineapple Hand Sanitizers that I had shown.  I love how the "Pop of Pink" Specialty Designer Series Paper matches the front design on the bottle!  Then she matched the flower on the front design using the "Bunch of Blossoms" stamp set.  I know, right !!!

I just love finding New Ideas for projects, especially this one!   Thank you Terri for sharing this alternative idea for this FUN project!

I have some additional cards to share with you from our Stamp A Stack, so don't forget to check back for the other card ideas!

Thank you for stopping by and have a Wonderful weekend !!

Happy Stamping !!!

It's showing how the Stamp A Stack is set up at the Stamping Station.  Along with how the card will look and the cardstock pieces that will need to be stamped.  Each customer can choose what Stamps they want for their cards.  This picture also shows the 3 different stamps that were available to use.

This one is the Opened view of the card.  

There is a band that is folded in the shape of a "Z" which is attached to the front and inside of the card.  You can embellish on several areas of this card to add additional greetings and you could even add a gift card in the center of the card.  So many possibilities!  It truly is an awesome "WOW" card for any occasion!!

Cardstock:    Sahara Sand  11" x 4 1/4"  and  11" x 1"   both scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2"

Happy Mail and Floral Phrases !!

Happy Friday Everyone!!

Today I received some Happy Mail from Stampin' Up !  On May 3rd, I celebrated my 10 Year Anniversary with Stampin' Up!!  It's hard to believe that it has been 10 Years.  Time has flown by so quickly, especially when you LOVE what you Do!!  And I have made so many friendships in those 10 years.  It warms my Heart!!  Thank You Stampin' Up for changing my life in such a positive way!!

Here's the letter that I received from Shelli and Sara, along with my 10 Year Pin.

Now on to the Floral Phrases card for today.

Last night was the first evening session of our Stamp A Stack for June!  There are 4 Card Designs and everyone make 3 of each Card Design for a total of 12 cards.  The cards are created by Susan Campfield and Brenda Cardinal.  I will be sharing the other cards, but today I will share the Floral Phrases card that we made.

Here's the front of the card:

The Floral Boutique Suite is one of my Favorite Suites in the New Catalog!!
I Love how Elegant the Night of Navy and Whisper White makes this card just pop.  I absolutely LOVE the Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper it is so Beautiful!  One of the Concept Artists at Stampin' Up actually creates all the patterns in this Designer Series Paper by hand painting them first which makes this DSP so Totally Amazing !!


Here is the inside of the card:

                              I love that there is a Border stamp in the Floral Phrases set.
                              It's really nice to use on the inside of the card as an accent.

Details:

Stamp set:  Floral Phrases

Cardstock:
                        Whisper White  5 1/2" x 8 1/2"      Scored at 4 1/4"
                  (2)  Whisper White    4" x 5 1/4"
                         Whisper White   1 3/4" x 3 1/4"
                         Night of Navy    2" x 3 1/2"

Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper   (3) Different Patterns    1" x 4 3/4"

Then using the Triple Banner Punch you can punch all (3) strips of the Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper at the same time on the one end.
(Only because it is DSP, can you punch all 3 pieces at the same time, cardstock is too thick to do that)

Pretty simple, but so Elegant!!

Thank you to Susan and Brenda !!

So glad that you stopped by today!  I wish you an Awesome Weekend !!!

Happy Stamping !!!

Moroccan Nights

Good Morning !!

Today, I have another card from our last Monthly meeting.  It uses the "Moroccan Nights" stamp set.
The Moroccan Nights Suite has some fun Designer Series Paper, Washi Tape, Baker's Twine, and 2 New Ribbons ( 3/8" Dapper Denim Ruched Ribbon and 5/8" Delightful Dijon Mini Striped Ribbon).

Here's the card:

Makes a wonderful Background for any Occasion!  This one is a Birthday card with the New Layering Square Framelits, the ones with the rippled edge and looks like a postage stamp.
                                            Love all the New Layering Framelits!!

Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the inside, it had the border stamp from this set along the edge of the card.  It makes such a beautiful accent.  A Simple, but very Elegant card, don't you think?
                          So take a minute and stamp a Birthday card for someone today!

Details:

Cardstock:     Very Vanilla    5 1/4" x 8"   scored at 4"
                       Soft Suede      4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
