Stampin Up Petal Palette washi tape card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I love Stampin’ Up! The products are top notch, the color coordination and tools make it easy to create beautiful projects, and the company’s “Statement of the Heart” sums it up beautifully!

Stampin’ Up! Statement of the Heart:

“To love what we do and share what we love, as we help others enjoy creativity and worthwhile accomplishments…in this we make a difference.”

I was inspired to make this card for team members to let them know how much I enjoy being on this journey with them. I used the Petal Palette stamp set and some washi tape to create this clean and simple card.

This is one of those simple “formula cards” that I have used before. Simply change out the washi tape and use whatever focal point you want. Here I used a die cut heart from the Sweet & Sassy Framelits but I also made the birthday card (pictured below) which I shared previously. It has a bow made with the Bow Builder Punch. *You can click on the image below to see the original post with all the details and tips to make the washi tape card and other projects.

I would love to have you join me on this journey with my “Stampin’ Sisters”! (We would even love to welcome a “brother” or two to the mix!!!) If you ever thought about becoming part of the Stampin’ Up! demonstrator community, Sale-A-Bration is a great time to “try it out”. Why? Because you get 2 extra stamp sets (of your choice) for FREE!! (*You also get a FREE Paper Pumpkin in your starter kit so you can try that out too!) Think about it…you are already buying the products, why not get them at a discount and make some wonderful new friends along the way?! Seriously, Stampin’ Up! makes it so easy to join and just buy for yourself if you want. You don’t have to have classes, blog, or sell anything if you don’t want to. You can just purchase your starter kit (Choose $125 in product of your choice for $99) and choose your 2 FREE stamp sets and enjoy the discount now through July. There’s no penalty if you don’t buy anything else, you don’t have to send anything back, no one is going to pressure you or harass you. Over 90% of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators sign up just for the discount. If you want to build a business, we can help you with that. You decide what you want…Join our private FB groups (and get involved in the chats or just browse and see what’s going on), be the first to see and try out new product, get together with other demonstrators, watch training webinars, participate in contests to win free product, …and so much more! I have to say joining Stampin’ Up! is one of the best decisions I ever made! I’ve had fun every step of the way!

Paper Pumpkin To The Rescue!

February 13, 2018February 14, 2018 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 7 Comments

I needed a few more thank you notes and it was Paper Pumpkin to the rescue! I love getting these all inclusive kits in the mail every month! Many times I do my own thing with the supplies in the kit and it’s just nice to have everything precut and ready to go. It makes it quick & easy to create. With my fractured elbow and limited mobility at the moment, I need easy! I used the Love Notes from the January Paper Pumpkin kit to make thank you notes.

Paper Pumpkin Alternative Thank You card idea using Heartfelt Love Notes - Jeanie Stark Stampin Up

The kit contained supplies for 16 projects and included the Heartfelt Love Notes Photopolymer Stamp set and Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Spot.

I stamped the sentiment from Rose Wonder stamp set on the banner and adhered it over the heart. I also stamped the inside with a sentiment from So Many Shells stamp set and used the scalloped die cut note cards (included in the kit) to write a personal message. I love how these notes tuck in the pocket and tie with a bow.

If you are a current Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you can purchase refill kits (while supplies last) from my online store. The refill kit comes with everything except the stamp set and ink spot for just $8! What a deal…that’s just .50 a card (and that includes the envelope)! I will be buying more of these! You can buy the refill kit and use other stamps from your collection as I did for mine.

Here’s the video showcasing the intended projects but you can use them to tuck in all kinds of notes and/or candy treats, etc. (I am going to put a couple of Merci chocolates in each to give out at Physical Therapy this week.)

I have been the recipient of much love and support lately which means I have a lot of thank you notes to write! When I make thank you cards I usually make several. It’s easier sometimes to do “assembly line” and I especially like to do that with thank you cards.

Here’s some thank you cards I shared previously that I am thankful I made extras to have on hand.

*Click on any image to see the original post.

Do you notice anything in common with these cards?

It looks like I tend to use shades of blue and green for my thank you cards! (I never noticed that before.)

You can purchase the products used to make these cards from my online store. Click HERE to shop or click on the images above to view the orginial post to see the products used.
