Simple Saturday: Get well SOUP! NEW in colors!!!

Get well SOUP!  

As you know, Mint Macaron is one of my favorite new In Colors.  I am in love with this shade of blue/green. It's fantastic! I needed a get well soon card for a male coworker this week, and i just happened to receive this in my box of goodies. This stamp set was one i was most excited about for Get Well cards which I seem to need a lot of!  The other in color I used was Tip Top Taupe to accent the lines of the stamp and to color in the soup and make the shadow on the bottom. I totally copied this out of the Stampin' Up catalog!  Love it!  Do you have a catalog yet?  I can send you one!  Email me cogbill22@yahoo.com

It's a VERY simple card. I stamped it in memento black ink and then used an aqua painter to paint the bowl.
TIP: Squeeze the stamp pad while it's closed really hard, then open it and use the ink that pooled into the lid to pick up with the aqua painter.  It's that simple!
Lastly, I used my Watermelon Wonder marker to fill in the hearts on the spoon.

Simple Saturday: "Ducky Thanks" 2014-2015 Stampin' Up Annual Catalog Sneak Peek

I always want to create something amazing for my Pretties demonstrator team meeting. I got this fab stamp set from the new 2014-2015 Stampin' Up Annual Catalog "Something for Baby" and "Baby's First" framelits dies. I'm not a huge fan of pastels, so I dreamed up this card. Of course, the duck  had to be yellow :).  Today I'll share the simple thank you card which goes inside this cutie card box I created for a baby shower gift. Stay tuned to my online catalog launch party ON THIS BLOG June 2nd to find out how to make the box.  Subscribe today (click below) so you won't miss it!



Stampin' Up Supplies used:
Stamp sets: Something for Baby (2014-2015 annual catalog), Just Sayin' (Occasions AND annual catalog (yay!)
ink: memento black stamp pad, daffodil delight classic ink pad
paper: whisper white and pacific point 8 1/2 x 11" card stock
tools: 1 3/8" circle punch

Directions:
Cut whisper white paper at 5 1/2" and then fold. The pacific point strip was leftover from the 9x9 sheet I used to make the box.  The strips are 1 1/2" x 4 1/4". I used a circle punch to create the wavy waves by cutting a partial circle. Lay the wave on top of the white card and then inch it down a smidge and put pencil marks. Stamp the ducks just under the pencil marks so that they will be behind the water (or just eyeball it like I did :)) .  Adhere water strip in front of the ducks. Stamp word bubbles in black.

When I saw this stamp set being used at the 2014-2015 annual catalog premiere I knew I had to have it. Imagine my thrill when they gave it away to all of us that attended. Stampin' Up is cool like that. There are may precious cards made with this set floating around on Pinterest and I must say, the simple beauty of this set really "wows" me. You will want to follow my Pinterest board with a collection of sneak peeks from the catalog here.  I cased this one right from the catalog and I think it's beautiful.  I am a HUGE fan of Stampin' Up's notecards (already cut and scored with matching envelopes!) for a lot of cards in a hurry. SIMPLE SIMPLE is the key! This is perfect for a quick gift. I made a cutie set of cards for my newest Stampin' Up demo, Laura Dehnert.  WELCOME to the Pretties team, Laura!

Simple Saturday: 2014-2015 Stampin' Up Annual Catalog Sneak Peek - What's Your Type? stamp set

 

Simple Saturday

2014-2015 Stampin' Up Annual Catalog Sneak Peek - What's Your Type? stamp set

I was lucky enough to attend the Stampin' Up 2014-2015 Annual Catalogue premiere on Monday in Tulsa, Oklahoma which was simulcast to 7800 Stampin' Up demonstrators in the US. What fun we had! To add to the fun, I won this stamp set in a drawing.  I hope you love these as much as I do. The possibilities of this set are endless.! Also, I LOVE these notecards. They are already cut and scored - leaving you more time to stamp and create. Ink and paper are the only supplies that I used. These are perfect for the beginning stamper or someone who needs a lot of cards in a hurry.  AND they are adorable!!!

 

Here is a picture of the photopolymer set called "What' Your Type?". There are 23 stamps in it for $25.95. I think that's a fabulous price for 23 stamps! This will be available for the public to order on June 2nd. Start your wish list now!

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Speaking of June 2nd, mark your calendars for my live catalog launch party which will be taking place on my blog, Facebook and Instagram all day, Monday, June 2nd. Inspirations from the goodies I have preordered and prizes will be revealed. Also, be watching my blog for sporadic sneak peeks until then. 

 

Stampin' Up supplies used:

stamp set: What's Your Type?

ink: bermuda bay, crushed curry, tangerine tango and basic black classic ink pads. basic black marker

whisper white notecards and envelopes

 

Instructions: Gosh, really? Fold the notecards. Stamp as shown. There's really not more to say! The only tricky thing I can say is on the "H", I did color the striped piece with a basic black marker so that the "H" would not be so wide. Here's a picture to show you what I mean (p.s. also put it on the block before you color it! trust me!):

Simple Saturday: Mosaic Madness and Label Love easy DIY cards for any occasion!

 

Simple Saturday: Label Love tons of easy cards!!!

 

Sometimes you just need lots of cards for lots of reasons. We mad the happy birthday card at one of my card classes and I had not ever assembled the extra cards that I cut. I had an "unfinished projectsapalooza" last weekend and I was thrilled to come up with LOTS of cards from this one Stampin' Up Label Love stamp set.  The basic structure of the card is beautiful (a case from Julie Davison - a talented Stampin' Up demo). All that I did was change up the stamp to make 8 different cards. Brilliant! 

 

This pretty much covers most occasions!

Simple Saturday: Clean and Simple DIY Simply Celebrate Add on Kit cards

Simple Saturday: Clean and Simple DIY Simply Celebrate Add on Kit cards

I am  fan of anything simple.  I had a Stampin' Up Simply Celebrate Banner class using the celebration basics banner kit the other day and these paper goodies were leftover from the simply created banner add on kit (the Bermuda bay/crushed curry kit). I also had the Simply Celebrate stamp set close by. So enter my need-  My fabulous upline and friend Becky Liggin had a birthday coming and I needed cards QUICK. You see, my darling 9 year old has a science fair project due and I was hosting a party at my house the next night.. you get my drift. No time for paper treasure chests or anything fancy. I needed something quick and simple, yet fabulous.  Clean and simple is the key.  These self adhesive die cut pieces are fabulous and this color scheme is darling (Stampin' Up knows what looks good!)

Here's the kits and what they come with...
Start with the celebration basics kit (click to see full post on making a birthday banner or St. Patrick's Day Banner):

then add whatever color scheme you like (or both, like I did!)

CRUSHED CURRY/BERMUDA BAY

CALYPSO CORAL/CRISP CANTALOUPE

 

Now, you can use the extras to make these fabulous party supplies! See full blog post about that here:

 

 

HOWEVER, I wanted to use the little pieces to make my favorite thing, CARDS!!!

 

So here they are!

 

So Simple!!!

 

Stampin' Up supplies used:
stamps: Simply Celebrate stamp set
paper: whisper white 8 1/2 x 11 card stock, crushed curry, bermuda bay and basic grey card stock
ink: basic grey, crushed curry, bermuda bay
kits: bermuda bay celebration basics add on kit

Directions: Cut whisper white into notecards 10 x 7" and fold making 3 1/2 x 5" card. Cut narrow strips of the colored card stock at 5" strips. Adhere to card with snail adhesive.  Stamp self adhesive die (sticker) with stamp. Adhere to the card (it's self adhesive!).  That's it!
