May 27, 2014 | specials, Stampin' Up!
Happy Tuesday! Hope my American friends had a good Memorial Day weekend. I spent it traveling home from Chicago…more on that at another point. In the meantime, here’s what you’ve been looking for – Stampin’ Up!’s Weekly Deals! My fave…well, you can never go wrong with a heart punch in my opinion, but the Typeset Bigz alpha is a great deal…and I don’t have the digital download yet! Happy Shopping – please contact me if you need assistance with placing an order.
May 22, 2014 | cards, Stampin' Up!
I like making square cards – they’re very symmetrical and a bit more unusual, though no more difficult to create.
This card is 4.25″ x 4.25″ – so you cut your cardstock at 4.25″ x 8.5″ to create the card base. Then to create the rest of this easy card, the Designer Series Paper (Watercolour Wonder) is cut into 1.5″ squares and mounted onto a 3.5″ Tangerine Tango square. The Happy Birthday sentiment from the Label Love set was punched out with the Artisan Label punch (easy when your stamps & punches coordinate – these ones are also available in a bundle!) and then stuck onto the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Quick and easy – my kind of card!

I hope you had a great Victoria Day! (or whatever they might call it in your neck of the woods across Canada). Don’t worry, my American friends, your long weekend is coming up, so you will also have a short week soon, too LOL. Here are this week’s deals – lots of ribbons to replenish your stock, and I always think that digital downloads are a great deal – you will never run out of the supplies in those kits!

This was a fun card to create. The brush stroke stamp from Happy Watercolour (OK I know the set is listed as Happy Watercolor, but I can’t bring myself to spell it that way, being the daughter of a born & bred Canadian teacher LOL). Anyway. Stamped it in Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Pacific Point onto watercolour paper, and then used Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz to blur the images. I could have used water, but thought the Smooch Spritz would be more fun. Though you can’t see it quite so well in the image, it’s got a shimmer to it! Waited for it to dry (OK, sped it along with my heat tool), then stamped the sentiment on top.
At the risk of dating myself, after stamping it, I realized it reminded me of the cover of the Police’s Synchronicity
album… so then I had to go look it up online
– ok, so not exact (I’m getting older) but pretty close….or as I like to say “Similar but different”. And with that, I’m off to listen to some of my favourite 80’s tunes.
