Let’s Celebrate

I had an amazing fun filled weekend at the Stampin’ Up! OnStage event in Richmond, Virginia! I will be sharing sneak peeks with you just as soon as I can. (Check back this afternoon for a sneak peek at this month’s Paper Pumpkin!)


What I can share with you is the card I made for the card swap. Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators love to share cards and projects to inspire you and each other.  Here are the cards I made.

I love to make fun fold cards!  This one is a free standing triple panel card and not only is it really quite easy to make, it’s also useful for many different occasions…birthday, anniversary, graduation, retirement, new baby, or any event you want to celebrate.  I made 50 of these (the day before I left). When I make multiple cards I do it assembly line style. I cut everything, then score, emboss, stamp, and finally assemble. Most of the time I use the Stampin’ Trimmer to score my cards. However, for this project I used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and quickly scored 26 pieces of cardstock.

img_0902

My cardstock measures 8 1/4 x 11.  With the 8 1/4″ length across the top, I scored it at 1 1/4, 2 1/4, 6, and 7.  ThenI  cut it in half to make 2 pieces measuring 5 1/2 x 8 1/4.  I folded the sides back and forth along the score lines to create the panels then I embossed the ends using the Confetti Embossing Folder. I used the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies (and the Precision Base Plate) to cut the center panel from a piece of 3 1/2 x 5 1/4 piece of whisper white. I stamped the sentiment and banner from the Balloon Adventures Stamp Set using Night of Navy ink. (The photopolymer stamps make it so easy to see exactly where you are stamping.) I used the Balloon Bouquet Punch to punch the balloons from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack as well as Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay cardstock.  I attached the balloons using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then adhered the center piece to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I used a glue dot to attach the bow.  (I wish I had a picture of me making the bows and attaching the Stampin’ Dimensionals in the back seat of the car during the drive to Richmond Friday afternoon. Nothing like last minute! LOL)

Here’s a look at the finished projects.  Which color do you prefer?

The cards fold flat and fit in a standard envelope.  I packaged each in a clear envelope for swapping.

I had so much fun celebrating all weekend…driving down and back with team members, dinner Friday and Saturday nights with several other PALS, prizes, inspiration, make & takes, training, and other events all day Saturday, and more! Here’s a photo of some us having dinner Friday night at Tarrant’s Cafe in Richmond.

B is for Balloon Adventures Bundle

Welcome to my alphabet series showcasing some of the new products in the 2017 Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs. Today I’m showcasing the Balloon Adventures Bundle which includes the Balloon Adventures Stamp Set and Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies. Check out this video as Brandi, from the Stampin’ Up! home office, shares so many awesome ideas and different ways to use the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies.

I can’t wait to make that shaker card! I love how these dies can cut, score, and emboss at the same time! And they coordinate with the Balloon Adventures Stamp set!  What’s really great is you can purchase the set as a bundle and save 10%. The Bundle price is $53 which means you would qualify for a FREE Sale-A- Bration item with your purchase.  Woo Hoo!

Here’s a card I made for my sister’s birthday back in December.  I love the pocket on the inside to hold a gift card. You can click HERE to see the original post with all the details to make it.

Here’s a picture of your card kit (below) with everything precut and ready for you to stamp and assemble.(*I stamped the balloons on the original card but am including die cut balloons so you can choose to do it either way.)
