Follow Your Art With a Gift:

I am a little obsessed with the Mini Shipping Boxes that are in the NEW Stampin' Up! catalog.  Those, along with the fun Washi Tape, just make my heart smile.  I have just a quick and simple box and tag that I made.  This was a gift for my club members for signing up to join my club.  There may be one of my very fave Stampin' Up! products in this box.  😁 Any guesses?!

Colors: Coastal Cabana, Pineapple Punch, Calypso Coral

Inks: Memento Black, Blends: Calpyso Coral Dark & Light, Pineapple Punch Dark & Light

Cardstock/Papers: Coastal Cabana, Shimmery White, Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper

Stamps: It Starts With Art

Tools: Scallop Tag Topper Punch

Accessories:Follow Your Art Washi Tape, Mini Shipping Boxes, Follow Your Art Embellishment Kit, Pineapple Punch 1/8" Grosgrain Ribbon

These really are so simple to make...the tag is just made from Designer Series Paper that is so cute on its own...most of your work is done for you!  😀

I just stamped a few buttons, colored with blends, and added one of my favorite sentiments.  😁 "Let's stay up late and craft."  😂

And then this Washi...I told you it was adorable.

Just a quick and easy project that makes a fun gift even more fun to receive!!!

Year of Cheer Beauty...

I don't know about you, but when I saw that "Year of Cheer" suite in the catalog...I was stunned. It. Is. So Gorgeous!  I instantly fell in love.  Sooooo...I have been playing, and will have some fun projects to share using this suite over the coming days.  (This was also a Make & Take for a big demonstrator training event my friend and I put on last weekend.  It is called Suite Stampin' Success.  Stay tuned for a big post on that event!  😀)

Today I am sharing just a quick and simple winter card you can easily re-create.  It's a New Year's card, but you could easily swap out for any other sentiment and it can be a card for any occasion that you need this winter...

Colors: Whisper White, Gold, Champagne, Bronze, Soft Suede, Sahara Sand

Cardstock/Papers: Whisper White, Whisper White Thick

Stamps: Cheers to the Year

Tools: 1 1/2" Circle Punch

Accessories: Pearls, Year of Cheer Specialty Washi Tape, Gold Mini Sequin Trim

Those strips on the left side is the Washi tape that is apart of the suite.  It's shimmery and metallic-y and just gorgeous in person...

Just amazing!  Then that greeting has a sliver of the Champagne Foil paper behind it.  I LOVE the mixed metallics and how fancy it makes it feel.

 

I hope you enjoy this card and that it inspires you in some way!  😀  And in case you don't know what suite I am talking about...Just look at this picture from Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Catalog that shows how beautiful this whole suite works together...

Thanks so much for visiting!  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Oh The Places You'll Go...

It's graduation time!  I am sure lots of us have some graduation cards to make!  So here is one quick idea using the "Places You'll Go" stamp set...

Graduation time makes me a little bit teary.  Seeing these kids start their journey's into adulthood brings back so many memories myself....and it's so exciting to see where their lives will take them!

Colors: Emerald Envy, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Copper

Cardstock/Papers: Emerald Envy, Very Vanilla Thick, Pool Party, Watercolor Paper, Neutrals Designer Paper Stack

Stamps: Places You'll Go, Crazy About You

Tools: Heat Tool, Triple Banner Punch, Duet Banner Punch

Accessories: Copper Embossing Powder, Clear Embossing Powder, Affectionately Yours Washi Tape

Anyway...this stamp set is amazing.  I did a little watercoloring not the globe, so the card front is made with watercolor paper.  And all the stamped images are embossed.

Then inside I used one of my FAVE stamp sets....the "Crazy About You" stamp set.

Hope you enjoy this card!  Let me know if you have any questions or need any supplies to make your own projects!

Sometimes You Just Need To Say Hello....

One of my most favorite things in ALL of the Stampin' Up! catalog is the "Hello You" thinlits.  I use them ALL the time and they always make me happy.  So for my #acardadayinMay today--I wanted to make a simple "hello" card.  Because sometimes, you just need to say hello--but in a cute way!  :-) And I actually made 2 cards for today in 2 different color combos.  First one up is one of my most fave color combos: Melon Mambo, Black, and GOLD!

So fun, right?!  Who loves Washi Tape?!  (This is the Everyday Chic Washi Collection.) I LOVE how easy it is to use, how quick you can add fun patterns, etc.  

Hard to see in the photo...but I added a little clear embossed detail on the card front...

Next up is a fun In Color combo...all of these colors are retiring at the end of this month!!!  They are: Tangelo Twist, Mossy Meadow, Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey, and Blackberry Bliss.  This set of Washi Tape is ON SALE for 50% off!!! ...

For this hello, I added a fun bit of texture.  I added a layer of Crystal Effects to the "hello" word to make it all glossy and 3D.  Crystal Effects has retired and is sold out, so I hope you have some of this in your supplies already.  Cause look how pretty this effect is...

And here are these cards side by side...

Which color combo is your favorite?!

Hope you enjoy!  Thanks for visiting!  Let me know if you have any questions: designwithink@gmail.com.

How fun is this?!  And so quick and easy! Just frame some of the fun Designer Series Paper, adhere a clothespin decked out in Washi Tape and Baker's Twine, cut out the Hip Hip Hooray image, add a little glitter using the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, and clip the "Hip Hip Hooray!" image in!  So easy and fun!  And easily remove the greeting and put in a photo of the party!

Boo! Halloween Time = Treat Time!

Halloween is kinda all about treats, right?!  At least my kids seem to think so.  :-)  So...I find that there are always reasons for cute Halloween packages this time of year.  Here is quick treat package that are so easy to put together...

I LOVE the Howl-O-Ween Bundle in the Holiday Catalog.  Have used it so very much!  The skull and the BOO! both come from this bundle.  So much fun!  And I LOVE Washi Tape.  Such a quick fun way to add some interest to your projects!

How "cute" is he?  (I guess that's probably not the appropriate term for a skull and bones, but it kinda fits...right?!) 

And this sparkly BOO!....

This clothespin was so fun to make.  Just added some Washi (again...so quick, cute, and easy!), the sparkly BOO! (cut from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper), and some Baker's Twine...and such a cute element!  Then clipping that Spider Web doily....well, I just swoon.  

I hope you enjoy this treat (or any small gift) package.  Thanks for visiting!  Let me know if you have any questions!  designwithink@gmail.com

A Pile of Thank You's...Quickly!

The other day I needed a set of thank you cards.  I didn't have a lot of time so they had to be quick.  But of course I wanted them cute!  I saw this card layout on Pinterest awhile back, and remembered it when I was thinking of a card idea.  (I couldn't find the post again, so will try to find it and update this post.)  Here is the card I made...

Washi tape makes this card a breeze.  And love the crisp white card. These are made with the Whisper White set of notecards..  So it's 3.5"x 5" (I believe). These really were so quick to make, and I think pretty dang cute!

Here is a pic of part of the stack of the cards.  They really took barely any time to make!  Who doesn't need a quick and cute card idea?!  (I know I do! So feel free to share any that you have with me!)

Thanks so much for visiting!  I hope you enjoyed this card!  Let me know if you have any questions! designwithink@gmail.com
