In Color Card and 3D Paper Flowers

Hello Friends,

Oh Wow, I love the way the 2021-2023 Stampin' Up! In Colors play together! Here they are in all their glory as a 3D Flower and greenery display.

5 new 2021-2023 In Colors

Polished Pink

Fresh Freesia

Pale Papaya

Soft Succulent

Evening Evergreen

The flowers were fashioned with the Daisy and Medium Daisy Punches.  I stamped every other layer using the Daisy Lane stamp set.  The ferny greenery was cut with the Forever Flourishing dies.

Here's a card using the Beautiful Friendship stamp set with a different twist.  The trees were stamped running down the left side of the card.  Again, look how well the In Color play together.  I used all 5 In Color for stamping, plus Balmy Blue for the sky (brushed on with a blending brush).

Triangular Trees-Soft Succulent

Thank You-Evening Evergreen

Rounded Trees-Pale Papaya, then Fresh Freesia

You Truly Inspire Me-Polished Pink

Make Your Own Calendars with Days to Remember

Hello Friends,

Have you seen the Days to Remember stamp set?  Now we can easily make our own little hand stamped calendars. Hint: For best results stamping calendars, I high recommend stamping with the Stamparatus.  As you can see, calendars are also a fabulous way to personalize handmade cards.  Here's 3 ideas to get you started.

First up is a May Birthday card with the adorable Party Puffins center stage.  For addition interest and color, I cut a few Stitched Stars.

What says June better than fresh ripe strawberries?  Here in Ohio the blossoms are on our strawberries plants.  Very soon we will be able to pop juicy red strawberries directly into to our mouths from the berry patch.  What a lovey earlier summer treat!  Naturally, this calendar was made with the Sweet Strawberries stamp set.

And finally, for a wedding around the corner in July I simply added a few red and blue Stitched Stars.  The playful border was made with the Stitched with Whimsy dies.

Make a Bunny Treat Holder

Hello Friends,

Make a Bunny Treat Holder for Easter with the Retiring (Last Chance) Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box dies.  This little cutie is super easy to make.  All you need is paper, the Mini Curvy Keepsake Dies, the Double Oval Punch, a marker or two and maybe some googlie eyes.  Fair warning, the versatile Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box Dies are on the Stampin' Up! Retirement list and are only available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.

Step for Making a Bunny Treat Holder for Easter

Choose your paper for the bunny's body and cut with the Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box die.  I chose Flowers for Every Season Designer Paper.

Curve the 4 sides using a bone folder or ruler.  Hint this is much like curling ribbons.  Tuck a treat or two inside and assemble

Cut a bunny face with a tag die from the Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box dies set.

Draw a bunny face on tag and add Googlie Eyes.  Attach to body.

Punch a set of bunny ears using the Double Oval Punch.  Attach as shown.

 

What's bunny without a cotton tail?  Attach a cotton ball tail on his backside.

Did I mention that the Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box Dies are 20% Off?
