Oh Whale Says Good-Bye

 

The "Flower Power" of the Floral District Designer  Paper reminds me of days gone by.  I won't mention what days.  Designer Paper adds so much Wow to both cards and envelopes.  Click Here for Envelope Tutorials & Measurement Cheat Sheets

Sometimes I get caught by surprise when Stampin' Up! doesn't carry over a popular product. Oh Whale, I'm going to miss you.  Both the Oh, Whale Stamp set and the Happy Whale Clearlit die will be gone at the end of the month.

Let's Do a Card Making Tutorial

 

 

To cut your card front, line up the largest Label Framelit and hold in place with a post it note.  Run  partially through the Big Shot then reverse.  You don't want to cut the whole framelit.

 

 

For subtle wave action lay your card front on your Borders Scoring Plate then place overlay over card stock and score.  The overlay has cut-out grooves in identical designes as the Borders Scoring Plate-so cool!

 

 

Love the Happy Whale clearlit die.  Simply stamp, then line-up whale in window and cut with your Big Shot.   Don't forget to cut your Floral Whale, anchor and heart with your Happy Whale Clearlit die too.

 

 

Here's a close up.  Did you notice the little flower accents?  Learn how to make them.  They're quick and easy to make.     One Minute Wow Flower Accents Tutorial

 

 

The inside is just as pretty as the outside.  There's more "flower power" from the Floral District Designer Paper and a smaller Label cut  with the Labels Collection Framelits delivers our sweet message..

A Masculine Card

 

Need a Masculine Card? The retiring French Foliage Stamp Set offers boundless card making possibilities. This bright and cheery Birthday Card is for my son, Jeremiah. The non-traditional leaf colors breathe a fresh breath into the French Foliage Stamp Set.  

Robin's Card Making Tips

• Randomly stamp leaf images with Cherry Cobbler, Marina Mist and Early Espresso ink.  Hint:  When randomly stamping it's usually best to start with the largest image and end with the smallest image.
• Add even more depth.  Emboss stamped images with the Square Lattice Embossing folder.
• Ribbons of color and design are layered on with the Hearts a Flutter Framelits and the Tasteful Trim Die.
• Now it's time to accessorize with Naturals Designer Buttons.

• Make the card center playful with the retiring Two Tags die.
• Don't forget to add a burst of color to your envelope flap.

Ginghams & Flowers

Love the happy patterns and colors of the Gingham Garden Designer Paper.  It's not going to take long to whip through this beautiful package of designer paper.  And the Tasteful Trim Die is such a great compliment to the Gingham Garden Suite with its rick rack and scallops.  Add a few butterflies  to your garden with the Beautiful Wings Embosslits.

If you like the tiny stitched bow, you'll want to stay tuned in to Stamping Country for a quick & easy tiny bow tutorial this week.

 

Loving all the cute greetings in the Really Good Greetings stamp set.  Did you notice the teeny heart embedded in the you stamp?  So sweet.

 

Not stamping for a few days can get you out of your creative groove, but a great sketch can get you right back on track.  

 

I Missed a few blog

posts this past 

weekend.  It's been

an eventful weekend.

We started with a few

adventure filled days

late in the week with

3 of our grandsons,

then it was off to West Virginia for the graduation of my baby boy and his wife.  My next younger son and his family also moved across several states to start a new chapter in their lives.
