Countryside Inn DSP Sampler-Birthday Card

 Got scraps?  Sure you do!  All of us who make cards on a regular basis always have a bunch of scraps.  Today, I'm going to show you how to turn those small scraps into an elegant card without any fuss or work.  Just cut your pieces down to 1 1/4" x 1 1/4" squares and wah-lah, you have the makings of a beautiful card.  I laid mine out on the Scalloped Contour die cut and paired with a matching cardstock, add a sentiment and you have a pretty card in hardly no time at all.

Angled Card Simplified

 Have you ever tried to make one of those adorable angled cards, you know the ones where you have to measure down one side and up on the other side, then line up your paper just so and hope with a prayer that it will fit once you finish cutting your precious DSP?  Sure you have, we all have.  But I have a way for you to do this with NO measuring!  Just glue and snip.  Wah-lah, you've got yourself an angled card that turns out perfect every time and you can decide just how deep you want that angle.

As you can see, the options can be endless and so many different ways to decorate this layout to fit your every need.

Shabby Chic Shelf Card

 Shabby Chic and a fun fold.  Does it get any better than that?  I don't think so.  I used earth tones and I think this card turned out gorgeous.

I used Notes of Nature Bundle and Stylish Shapes Dies to create this design.

Tone on Tone with a little bling birthday card

Tone on Tone...what a strange way that sounds but it does make for stunning cards if you have the right elements to make it pop and I believe I found the perfect way to make that happen with this tone on tone with a little bling.

I made this a birthday card but you certainly could change it up to be any occasion you need it to be.

I used two different colors but the same layout and same stamp set.  I did change up the floral images that were die cut but other than that they are the same card.  What a beautiful way to play with your inks and specialty papers to create something wonderful that you would be proud to give to a family member, friend or co-worker.

If you are a fan of layering dies then Everyday Details are for you.  This is a unique set of layering dies that add that something extra with the stitched holes around the edges.  You get both circles & rectangles along with some accent pieces for your projects.

The stamp set is equally as beautiful even though the stamps & dies both can stand alone.  If you decide to purchase as a bundle, remember that Stampin' Up rewards you with a 10% discount over purchasing separately.

Four Squared Valentine Card Featuring Bee Mine DSP & Stylish Shapes Dies & Adoring Hearts Hybrid Dies & Embossing Folder

Who doesn't love Valentine's Day.  It is probably our first memory of exchanging cards with our school mates as early as kindergarten or first grade (depending on your age). Of course as we become mature adults, it is still exciting to get a Valentine's Card from friends, husbands, wives, children or anyone really.

Stampin' Up always has us covered with beautiful hearts and sentiments to cover all our Valentine card making needs.

This year is no different with the Adoring Hearts Bundle.  You get a beautiful stamp set, interactive dies with a hybrid embossing folder that allows you to cut & emboss at the same time.  Your dies fit in the folder so you can do both processes with one pass through your Stampin' Cut & Embossing Machine.

Flight and Airy DSP meets Thoughtful Expressions Bundle

 Once again I find myself drawn to the Flight and Airy Designer Series Paper.  I'm not sure if it's the soft, soothing colors, the sweet little birds, the delicate florals or all of the above.  It really does speak to my soft side and brings me a peace as only "color" can.

It also lends itself to the soft pastels of Boho Blue & Bubble Bath cardstock.  Adding the gold accent on the front of the card seems to bring in a bit of elegance as well.

Softly Sophisticated with Old Olive & Pool Party

 For this change of color combination I turned to my Color Coach from Stampin' Up to help me find different colors that go together that you wouldn't think would pair well.  As you can see the Old Olive is beautiful paired with Pool Party and once again I used Softly Sophisticated Stamp Set and it is absolutely elegant and as the stamp's name it's sophisticated.

Bee My Valentine featuring Heartfelt Hellos Sale-A-Bration stamp set

 

I hope you fall in love with this card as much as I have.  I cased this card from my upline, Brandy Cox.  I did change the colors a bit and the embellishments but I got this directly from my sweet girl Brandy.

This card was so much fun to make and showcases that cute little bee.  This is so much more than a Valentine card.  You could use it for a thinking of you, thank you, get well, happy birthday and the list goes on and on.
