Galentine Day Card !

Happy Friday! Today I start my three-day weekend going to a local Scrapbook/Craft Event. I’m even going to stay at the hotel so I can enjoy the events with the ladies and the indoor pool!

Yesterday a special group of us ladies got together for a Galentine’s Day! We had a lot of fun, and I took a little gift for each person, some candies, eye masks and a special handmade card.

Here’s a look at the card I made using the Pop-Up Petals Bundle. Having a die to create the pop-up made creating the card super easy.

Next, a look at the inside of the card with sunflower pop-up. Flowers are colored with Stampin’ Blend Markers and it’s easy to do. Pool Party is the color of the vases. Some of the products are retired since I used items from my stash along with current products to create the cards.

Check out the Feb26 Sunday Stamper project sheets for details on how to make the card, click here.

Don’t forget, if you earned any $5 coupons between January 6th – February 2nd, redeem them between now and February 28th.

Feb26 Sunday Stampers

Good morning & Happy Sunday!  Today my Sunday Stampers are meeting and I’m sharing their cards with you.

Featured products:

  • Pop-Up Petals Bundle (stamps and dies)
  • Banner Sayings Bundle (stamps and punch)
  • Words of Beauty Bundle (stamps and dies)
  • Simply Beautiful Bundle (stamps and dies)
  • Easter Joy 12” x 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper
  • Lovely & Beautiful 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper
  • Flip Flaps – 3” x 4”

Here’s the first card using the Pop-Up Petals Bundle.

Here is a view of the inside of the card. The pop-up die really makes creating a card like this easy. Once the flowers are colored, add the pieces together, then to the pop-up piece.

Second card uses the Easter Joy 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper includes a foil treatment and is thicker than regular Designer Series Paper—ideal for 3D projects!

Third card uses flip flaps to create a spot to add a gift card inside.

First flip flap card is the vertical card. Both cards use paper cut at the same size due to the 3″ x 4″ flip flaps coming in both vertical and horizontal layout.

Final photo is the horizontal card using the flip flap. This is a wedding card, perfect for the special couple!

Square Snippets Designer Paper

Happy Friday! Today here’s a quick card idea using the Square Snippets 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. With all the patterns in this paper there are so many possibilities!

Here’s a look at the paper.

 

SQUARE SNIPPETS 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

 

Cut the 3″ x 3″ squares apart with a trimmer. Next, die cut the squares with a die from the Stylish Shapes Dies.  To put the card together, adhere as in the photo. The middle square was adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Add the greeting of your choice and a few embellishments to finish the card.

Book Binding Cards

What is a book binding card you ask? Well, let me tell you.

Specifics about the card:

  • Card stock base 4 ¼” x 11″, scored at 4 ¼” and 5 ½”
  • Mat for card front layer
  • Designer Series Paper layer
  • Greeting and decorations of your choice

For the cards being shared today, the new Square Snippets Designer Series Paper (DSP) was used. With this paper you can cut, combine, and create with this fun pack of patterned paper! Square Snippets 12″ x 12″ DSP features 3″ x 3″ designs that you can arrange in a grid on a scrapbook page, layer on cards, or use as playful accents. With versatile patterns for every season, this paper is a must-have for year-round crafting fun!

DETAILS – 12 sheets: 4 each of 3 double-sided designs

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of the card with coordinating stamped images.

Finally, another idea. Use greetings that go with the occasion the card is for. There are so many possibilities with this card design.

Some of the products used were on the last chance list and may no longer be available or have been retired.

Don’t forget, if you earned any $5 coupons between January 6th – February 2nd, redeem them between now and February 28th.
