Little Ladybug Note Card & Gift Package

Do you believe ladybugs bring good luck? I was told that as a child and I remember looking through the grass trying to find them. This could be your lucky day because you don’t have to look in the grass to find some cute ladybugs! The Little Ladybug Stamp Set is available during Sale-A-Bration and it’s free when you place a party order or personal order of $300.  It’s a great time to gather your family and friends and have fun creating together!  Contact me if you would like to schedule a workshop and earn this adorable stamp set.

Earlier this week Stampin’ Up! released coordinating products to go with select Sale-A-Bration products. The ladybug Dies are one of my favorites!

I couldn’t wait to play with the Little Ladybug stamp set and coordinating Ladybug Dies.

I love to recognize and reward my team! One of my team members recently promoted and is also celebrating her one year anniversary with Stampin’ Up! I am so proud of her! I thought this sentiment from the Little Ladybug stamp set was perfect for the occasion. (This would also be a great sentiment for graduation cards or a coworkers promotion!)

Would you believe I used the Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes to create this card?  I simply cut a piece of cardstock to cover the front of the card. Here’s all the details:

Materials & Measurements

  • Whisper White Note Card & Envelope
  • Real Red cardstock: 3 1/2 x 5 (for card front)
  • Golden Honey DSP- Striped Pattern: 1 1/4 x 3 1/2
  • Whisper White: 3 x 5 to cut Stitched So Sweetly Die, 1 x 1 1/2 to stamp sentiment, scraps to stamp ladybug and flower die cut
  • Basic Black cardstock: 1 1/8 x 1 5/8 for sentiment layer
  • Memento Black Ink
  • Stampin’ Blends in Real Red, Gray Granite, Old Olive, and So Saffron
  • Pool Party Ink and sponge dauber
  • Adhesive and Stampin’ Dimensionals

Directions

  • Fold and burnish note card along the score line. Adhere the Real Red cardstock to the front of the card.
  • Adhere DSP strip across the middle.
  • Die cut 3 x 5 Whisper White with the Stitched So Sweetly Die. Then emboss with the Ladybug Die to create the “flying” stitched line.
  • Stamp the flower image on the die cut along the bottom right. Color stem and leaves with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.
  • Stamp the flower and the ladybug on scrap white, color with Stampin’ Blends, and die cut with the Ladybug Dies.
  • Sponge around the flower with Pool Party ink using a sponge dauber.
  • Adhere flower with glue dots and ladybug with Stampin’ Dimensionals.Stampin' Up! Little Ladybug note card featuring the Ladybug dies - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
  • Stamp sentiment with Momento ink and layer with black cardstock. Adhere to card.
  • Stamp and emboss envelope to coordinate. *Put a piece of scrap paper inside the envelope when you color the ladybug so it won’t bleed through.

I enjoy making cards to coordinate with gifts. Can you guess this gift?

If you guessed the Little Ladybug Stamp Set you are correct! To “wrap” the stamp set, I cut a piece of  Real Red cardstock to measure 7 1/2 x 11 and scored along the long side at 5 1/8 from each end.  Then I used a sponge dauber and black ink to create the spots. I folded along the score lines, placed the stamp set inside and wrapped it with Black Satin Ribbon. Quick & easy!

C is for Congratulations

Welcome to my ABC Card Series! I’m looking forward to sharing a variety of cards for every occasion from A to Z! Today I want to share some congratulations cards! There are many different reasons to congratulate someone (a new job or job promotion, retirement, anniversary, engagement, new baby, graduation, etc.) Today’s cards feature a simple fun folding pop up gift card card or money holder.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Expressions Congratulations card ideas for graduation, new job, etc. - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I can honestly say these cards are quick & easy to create! I made this graduation card in less than 30 minutes before I had to head out the door to the graduation party! I enjoy making graduation cards in the school colors which is why this one is gorgeous grape, silver, and black.

Stampin Up Friendly Expressions graduation card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUpHere’s the card details…The card base is 5 1/2 x 11 scored at 4 1/4, 5 1/2, and 6 3/4. Fold accordian style and add a strip of Tear & Tape along the score line as shown below.

Fold the card and adhere. Use the Classic Label Punch to punch halfway in the middle of the fold then on each side.  (*Line the punch along the edge of the paper to do each side.)

 

 

Add a piece of 4 x 5 1/4 Whisper White cardstock on the inside to stamp a sentiment or add a handwritten message. Insert cash, check, or gift card in the center slot for a fun pop up when the recipient opens the card.

Wrap the card in ribbon and add your layered sentiment to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I used the Friendly Expressions Stamp Set for both of my cards. I love the font and different sentiments in this stamp set.  It is on the retirement list which means tomorrow is the last day to order it before it’s gone for good.

The graduation cap is made with a 1 3/4 square of cardstock.  Take a 5 inch piece of Bakers Twine, fold in half and make a knot.  Fray the ends and adhere to the square with a glue dot.  Punch a 1/2″ circle and adhere on top with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

I love the color combination on my next card, daffodil delight and gray granite.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Expressions congratulation gift card/ money holder idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

The sentiment is stamped on a piece of 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 Whisper White and layered on a piece of 3 x 4 Daffodil Delight Designer Series Paper.  I stamped and punched 2 daisies on Daffodil delight and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The gold faceted dots add the finishing touch. For this card I added a restaurant gift card on the inside for the newly retired recipient.

Thanks to Ronda Wade for the pop up gift card idea! I will be making more of these for upcoming graduations in different school colors!

Have a great day!
