Curly Cute/Designer Series Paper Card Sample


People who REALLY know me well know that I absolutely love clean and simple cards!  That is what first attracted me to rubber-stamping - and to this day, I still get really excited and happy when I see a beautiful card that is simple to make.  I just hosted a Clean and Simple Stamp-a-Stack Camp Wannastamp for my customers and am happy to show you what we made at that stamp camp.  What's wonderful about this card is that you can dramatically change its appearance by simply changing the Designer Series Paper, the ink color for the greeting, and the embellishment - but the card style is what makes it fabulous!  I got this great card design from Catherine Pooler.  The recipe is below.  All supplies used and shown are from Stampin' Up!

Recipe:

Paper:  Very Vanilla - 11 X 4-1/4; Very Vanilla - 5-1/4 X 4; Very Vanilla - 4 X 5/8"; Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack (which contains all kinds of beautiful Designer Series Paper to choose from!)
Stamps:  Curly Cute
Inks:  Early Espresso
Miscellaneous:  Stampin' Dimensionals; SNAIL Adhesive; 1-3/4" Circle Punch; 1-3/8" Circle Punch; 3/4" Circle Punch; Stamp-a-ma-jig; Neutrals Button; Linen Thread - 8" long; Paper Snips; Mini Glue Dots

Beyond Plaid and Floral Fusion Card Sample



Here's a fun card for you!  It's another card that I offered in my Clean and Simple Stamp-a-Stack Camp Wannastamp series.  Lucky Limeade, Melon Mambo and Basic Black ALWAYS pop!  With colors, greetings, and embellishments that are easily changeable, this makes a great card!  I offered my customers the option of using the Floral Fusion Sizzlits or the Blossom Punch.  They could also change out the large rhinestone for a large pearl, which changes the entire flavor of the card!  I was inspired by a similar card that was designed by "Lin."  That's all that was on her card!  The recipe is below.  All supplies used and shown are from Stampin' Up!

Recipe:

Paper:  Whisper White - 11 X 4-1/4; Melon Mambo - 2-1/2 X 2-1/4; Whisper White scrap
Stamps:  Beyond Plaid; One in a Million; Mixed Bunch

Bitty Butterfly Punch Card Sample


Awwww, isn't this cute?  Here's another card I offered in my Clean and Simple Stamp-a-Stack Camp Wannastamp series.  What I love about this card is that it makes an adorable baby card, too!  With pink butterflies, it's adorable for Easter, a baby girl card, or even as a thank-you card!  I got this great card design from Charlene Driggs.  The recipe is below.  All supplies used and shown are from Stampin' Up!

Loving Thoughts/Designer Series Paper Card Sample


Here's another card in my Clean and Simple Stamp-a-Stack Camp Wannastamp series!  Simply change the Designer Series Paper and the greeting and you have a whole new card!  You just can't go wrong with cards like this!  Even changing the pearls to rhinestones will give a more playful feel to the card, whereas pearls make it more elegant.  We sometimes refer to these types of cards as "911 cards."  When you have an emergency and need a card QUICKLY, these are your go-to cards!  I got this great card design from Amy Storrie.  For some added fun, use an Aqua Painter or a sponge dauber to add soft color to the flower trim to make it coordinate with the colors in your card.  The recipe is below.  All supplies used and shown are from Stampin' Up!

Recipe:

Paper:  Very Vanilla - 8-1/2 X 5-1/2; Very Vanilla - 5-1/4 X 4; Tea for Two Designer Series Paper - 4-1/4 X 3/4"

Valentine's Day Stampin' Sampler


Continuing on with the stampin' sampler mania that my customers, downline, and I have been enjoying, here's the Valentine's Day Stampin' Sampler I just offered to my customers!  Believe it or not, they want to make a St. Patrick's Day Stampin' Sampler, too, which I am currently designing!  I'm just lovin' these samplers and will be kind of sad when a whole year rolls around and we've made every holiday and season!  Oh, well, I'll be able to pull out the ones we've already made and enjoy them all over again!  Happy samplers to you!
