DIY cards

Stampin’ Up!’s Deckled Rectangled Dies are featured here for Day 29 of 30 Days of the New Catalog. This set of dies can be found on page 170 of the annual catalog.

This is a beautiful card made with the Bottled Happiness stamp set. Check out the layers though. This is where you can see the Deckled Rectangle Dies. There 8 dies in the set. Two sets of layering dies. One set is long and thinner rectangles and the other set contains the ones shown on this card that are designed for a card front.

Thank you Allison Davini for sharing this lovely card.

Once again I have an addition for my wish list. Do you? Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Lovely flowers for Day 24 of our 30 Days of the new catalog. Today’s featured bundle is the Heavenly Hollyhocks Bundle found on page 118 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog.

Thank you to Cheri Stojkovich for these lovely cards. The large flowers and greenery on Cheri’s cards are die cut. Click on the link above and you can see that there are two dies for the flowers and leaves, one a little more intricate than the other.

You can also stamp the set of three flowers (they are one stamp) and layer the dies on top of the stamped image for even more depth. Wow!

So who’s adding this bundle to their wish list? 🙂

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Three samples for the price of one for Day 23 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog! These beautiful cards were made with Stampin’ Up!’s Hues of Happiness Suite of products. Gorgeous! I don’t need to add this suite of products to my wish list because they are already in my craft room!

The designer paper is the big winner of this suite in my opinion. The flowers on these cards are made from the designer paper. The floral and leaf images were heat embossed on the designer paper and then die cut. Beautiful!

The Happiness Abounds stamp set contains seven all-occasion sentiments in the beautiful font that you see on the cards as well as floral and leaf designs.

Thank you to Tammy Wilson for these gorgeous cards. I am going to try some of these on my own when I return to my craft room! Is this suite going to make it into your craft room?

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

What a fun card for Day 22 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog. Today highlights Stampin’ Up!’s Texture Chic Suite of products that can be found on pages 98-99 of their new catalog.

Thank you to Cheri Stojkovich for this fantastic card. Not only did Cheri use the items from the suite, but she also used the beautiful Rose Gold Specialty Paper (pg. 139).

There are so many fun textures on this card from the papers used to the ribbons and the die-cut shapes. Besides shells, there are leaves, snowflakes, flowers and seven different sentiments in the stamp set. There are 19 different dies in the Chic Dies set including the fun lattice-type design shown in gold on this card. You’ll definitely get a lot of bang for your buck if this suite ends up in your craft room!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Did you say WOW when you first saw the project for Day 21 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog? I know I did! At first I thought some of the pieces and parts were die cut but this card is all stamping (except the label)!

The card was made using the Waterfall Canyon stamp set found on page 94 of Stampin’ Up!’s new annual catalog.

When you look at the images in the stamp set you may think there are 24 stamps, but there are only 12. Waterfall Canyon is one of Stampin’ Up!’s new “Reversibles” stamp sets. This means that there is an image on both sides of a stamp. One side is solid for background and the other is detailed. This is how you see two colors in the waterfall and canyon walls. Very cool.

Thank you to Amy Koenders for sharing this beautiful card! It perfectly illustrates what you can do with this stamp set.

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Beautiful Wisteria for Day 20 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog. Stampin’ Up’s Wisteria Wishes Bundle can be found on page 92 of their annual catalog.

This lovely card was made by Ellen Woodbridge. The only stamp Ellen used was for the sentiment. The rest of the card was made using just the dies. I love how intricate the leaf dies are.

The stamp set includes 5 floral/leafy images as well as five lovely sentiments including this “hang in there”.

The brick background was made using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. It sets off the die cuts perfectly.

The label that the sentiment is stamped on is from the Stylish Shapes Dies which is a set of stitched circles, squares and labels of various sizes. A definite must for any craft room.

Hmmm…should I put this bundle on my wish list too? That darn list keeps getting longer and longer!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

For Day 19 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog I’m sharing another gorgeous suite of products with you.

The Sun Prints Suite is a must to check out. It can be found on pages 90-91 of the catalog.

In my opinion, the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper is the highlight of this suite. It is absolutely gorgeous in shades of blue and gray. Unfortunately, the card I picked for today doesn’t have any of the designer paper on it. Be sure to click on the link to see all of the beautiful patterns.

Thank you to Peggy Noe for sharing this card. Peggy used the Nature’s Prints stamp set and the Fern 3D Embossing Folder on her caNrd. Isn’t the font used on the sentiment nice? The stamp set includes four floral and leafy images and four sentiments in this beautiful font. The Natural Prints Dies cut out some of the images, a wreath, and a tag that the sentiments can fit on.

I’m afraid I’ve added another suite of products to my wish list! The Sun Prints Suite will work for almost any occasion. Be sure to check it out!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

What a beautiful card for Day 18 of 30 Days of the New Catalog! This card was made using the lovely Heron Habitat Bundle.

I’m not a big bird person but all the cards I’ve seen made with this bundle are gorgeous! This card made by Connie Babbert with Pool Party, Sahara Sand and Black is so striking! Thank you Connie for sharing it.

There are three different birds in the stamp set, five sentiments and a few other stamps. Don’t you love this tag? There’s another on like it in a different size. I’m almost tempted to buy this bundle just for the sentiments and the tags! 🙂

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

It’s the Tea Boutique Suite for Day 16 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog! I do love this bundle! It was the first item on my new catalog preorder back in April. Last week in my newsletter I shared the bridal shower invitations I made with it.

Thank you to Windy Ellard for sharing this sweet card. She used the Tea Boutique Cards and Envelopes. These are one of my favorite parts of the suite. They’re not just for tea time! I’m looking forward to using them with other stamp sets.

The Cup of Tea stamp set has two different cup stamps, some flowers and greenery, tea tags, a lemon slice and 10 little sentiments! So fun!

I can’t wait to get back to my craft room and play with this suite some more! Is it on your wish list? 🙂

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Can you believe we’re half way though our 30 Days of the New Catalog? Day 15 brings us a bright and cheerful card made with the Sending Smiles Bundle that you can find on page 14 of Stampin’ Up!’s new Annual Catalog.

The highlight of this bundle is the two-step “Sending” dies. There is a die for the cursive word and then a background die to highlight it. Included in the stamp set there are 8 different phrases that go with the word “Sending” along with floral and greenery stamps.

The frame on the card was die cut using the Fabulous Frames Dies. Such a fun card! Thank you to Karen Henderson for sharing it!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Happy Flag Day on Day 14 of 30 Days of the New Catalog! Don’t you love this card? So creative!

This card was made using the new Brushed Shapes Dies on page 170. This is one of those cards you look at and say “how did she come up with that idea?”. I don’t think I ever would have thought of it.

This set of dies has 9 different shapes including a couple of hearts and some circles. The longer red stripes on the card are actually two “squiggles” put together.

Thank you to Cindy Coutts for this creative idea. It’s perfect for Flag Day and would make a great card for the 4th of July too or any type of patriotic occasion.

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

A cute and simple get well card for Day 13 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog. At some point, we all know someone who could use a little cheering up when they’re under-the-weather.

This card by Laura Milligan is fun and simple and can be made in any color. Laura used Orchid Oasis and the Speedy Recovery stamp set found on page 76 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog.

This stamp set has fun images and sweet sentiments to choose from. Yep, another item for my wish list! How about you?
