Stamp Once & Make 2 Cards

I have seen so many beautiful cards created with this technique. I simply had to try it for myself. As you see how these two cards are created, think of the stamps that you have in your collection that you could use to do this type of card. 



I chose Tasteful Touches but I can think of so many others that would be fun to work with.

Start with a piece of cardstock that measures 5 1/4" x 8". I used Whisper White. Very Vanilla or any light color would work. Lay the cardstock in the landscape position and create a stamped collage in the center of the cardstock.

  



Choose a color combination that you like - Here are some ideas for you.

Cut your stamped image in half (at 4") so you will have two pieces of cardstock that measure 4" x 5 1/4".

Choose the card base that you like and a sentiments that you like. Add ribbon, Wink of Stella, gems or sequins - the sky is the limit. 

Assemble the cards and you have two masterpieces of your own creation.







Don't forget to add some personal touches for the inside of your card. And decorate the envelope too!



If you are want to purchase the materials to create these cards, be sure to shop with me HERE

If you are placing an order with me and you use my host code - be prepared to receive a fun gift from me as a thank you. 

My Host Code for each month is attached to my blog (top right corner) and it is good for one month only. I will post a new code each month.

But if your order is over $149, don't use the host code! That way you will receive the host rewards and still get a thank-you gift from me.

Feels Like Frost Meets Dandelion Wishes - Love IT!

Feels Like Frost Meets Dandelion Wishes - Love IT!


You will find so many great combinations and ideas when you are using the First Frost Designer Series Paper. 


Stamp with versamark ink and heat emboss with White embossing powder. You will love the results. By cutting the 6x6 Designer Series paper in half, I was able to create two lovely cards. 


I loved matching this particular piece with Misty Moonlight cardstock - a beautiful blue color introduced this year as one of the 2020-2022 in colors. 


To top the cards off, I added the Adhesive Backed Snowflakes - new in the 2020 Holiday Mini Catalog. If you don't have a catalog, be sure to download your copy Here.

Don't forget to finish the inside of your cards and add some matching stamping or paper to the envelopes - this will be a super special touch!

Feels Like Frost - Beautiful Paper to Inspire Creativity

 Feels Like Frost

Have you noticed? The Stampin' Up! Mini Holiday catalog has a favorite returning product called Feels Like Frost 6x6 Designer Series Paper.


This paper is versatile and fun to work with! And it is perfect for all Seasons. 

Today I am using this paper in a all occasion card using the stamp set called Ridiculously Awesome. If you don't have this set, you are going to want to add it to your collection. The sentiments fresh and perfect for so many occasions.
 


The beautiful paper has the photo realistic images on one side and silver and white patterns on the other. The images are so lovely that they make the card all by themselves. 


I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies on this card to cut out the sentiments and the label shape - this is one of my favorite dies. 

This card was inspired by fellow demonstrator, Gale Beth Rice.


See the tiny Adhesive Backed Snowflakes that decorate the card - these are new in the Holiday Mini Catalog. So sweet!


And don't forget to decorate the inside and the envelope. Your cards will create a beautiful impression with your friends and family.

 This is an amazing stamp set and die bundle called Poinsettia Petals. Don't miss this in the mini Holiday catalog on page 14 - 16. You can down load your PDF version on my side bar.

You can also get a beautiful view of the products then you click on this link to the Stampin' Up! online store. This link takes you to the whole Suite of products. This is a must have in my book.

Poinsettia Petals Suite


Of course you can purchase each item in this suite separately. But don't forget to that the BUNDLE (stamp set and dies) can save you 10%. I love to save money! Don't you?


This is my rendition of a non-holiday card using the dies. But the card would be just as fabulous with "Merry Christmas" on the tag. I also used the Forever Gold Laser Cut Specialty Designer Series Paper (152493) to add the touches of gold and the beautiful Designer series Paper Called Ornate Garden (152488)


And also a version in a very "un-traditional" black and white color shows what a versatile bundle this is.
