Casing Tuesday and this week's live video Stampin Up Spring & Easter Cards featuring Welcome Easter & Springtime Impressions Dies

Hello Friends! 

I had such a fun morning hanging out with friends on the live video. It's retreat week, so today's video was totally "on the fly" and we made up new cards as we went! I really LOVE the cards we came up with and plan to show them through the week, this week!


Here is a fun card that anyone can make. I cut a butterfly out of the center of a piece of whisper white measuring 4 3/4" x 3 1/2".


Then I layered a piece of the Pleased as Punch designer paper behind the opening (4 x 2 3/4").

Then, I just stuck the die-cut butterfly back in the paper that it came out of and attached a bow. Isn't that sweet?

I copied the layout from Page 10 of the current Sale a bration catalog and turned the sketch.











Here is a copy of the replay: 
I also shared some details about an upcoming milestone and shared that I'm SUPER close to earning the next incentive trip! Maybe this week! So grateful for all of you!

Thank you for stopping by! If you need any of the products from the video, below is a shopping list of what I used.

Love,

Stampin Up Morning Star Card

Hello Friends!

I have the sweetest card for you today using the Morning Star Stamp Set.  I am in love with the delicate images offered in this set.  So, much so I created a class all around it!  


If you want to get in on this month's class, in person or shipped to your door, you can check it out and/or signup here.



Let's jump right in and give you some measurements:

Card Base: Petal Pink, 8 1/2 x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Layer 2: Night of Navy 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
Layer 3: Whisper White 5 x 3 3/4"
...and don't forget the pretty knot tied on with the GORGEOUS new Petal Pink 1/4" metallic-edged ribbon.

It is super simple stamping.  I used the long vine image to create the cascading vines and just stamped them to connect the images. Such a sweet set to work with.

If you're looking for a shopping list, Below is a list of what I used.  AND if you're placing an order anyway, you may want to check out my class this month and get it for free with your order.

Love that!

Stampin' Up! Tropical Oasis Memories & More Card Pack Card features No Stamping!


Hello Friends!  

I am sharing this sweet layout from the CASE-ing Tuesday Sketch challenge this week.

I have to say that the cards from the tropical oasis card pack made this card go together in about 10 minutes, from start to finish.

I ran out of linen thread so I cut a single thread off some burlap ribbon to make my twine.  Necessity is the mother of invention! 
Cardstock Measurements:
Card Base: Balmy Blue, 11" X 4 1/4" scored in half at 5 1/2"
Layer 2: Balmy Blue,  5 x 3 3/4", embossed with the coastal weave folder
Layer 3: 3 1/4" x 2 1/4", memories & more card, cut down from 3x4"
Layer 4: Whisper White 4 1/4" x 3/4", with a sticker on top and trimmed

Thank you so much for stopping by today, here is a shopping list of what I used for products.

Love,
Selene
