From My Heart Little Ladybug Card

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you the super cute card that I made as my January Thank You Cards.  I used the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper and the super cute and fun Little Ladybug Stamp Set to create my cards.  The Designer Series Paper features foil accents and the Little Ladybug stamp set is a Saleabration Host Set (which can only be earned with a qualifying order or party of $300 or more.  Here's a look at my card.

I started off by cutting all my card bases into 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and then scored them at 4 1/4 to make a standard A2 card base.  Once I had all the card bases done with my Real Red Cardstock I then cut my Designer Series Paper.  The Designer Series paper was cut at 4 x 5 1/4 and I attached them to the front of the card bases with a little liquid glue.
I only made ten of this design because I have found that after that many of the same thing I am bored with that design and ready to move on to something else.  So after putting my paper on the card bases I cut out some stitched nested labels and stamped my ladybugs and colored them with Real Red Stampin' Blends.
After all the coloring was complete I attached them to the card fronts using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I then punched out the two different heart designs on the the designer series paper using the Heart Punch Pack which are part of the Heartfelt Bundle.  I stamped my sentiment on the scalloped heart in Real Red Ink before punching each one out.
So after all the punching I had enough hearts to do all my cards.   So I laid them all out to look at them and see if I needed anything else for my cards.  
Once I had everything laid out and looked at everything I decided that it needed another heart, but I didn't want a large one.  I thought that the smaller heart would work just great and not over power the card but add to it.  So I pulled out my Dog Builder Punch and the scraps from the larger hearts and went around and punched out enough of the smaller ones to make my cards.  The heart in the dog punch is the perfect size to do the small ones and it almost fit the red little heart in the design above.
After everything was put together I decided that the large hearts needed to be popped up well the scalloped one anyway.  So I attached the regular heart with liquid glue and used a couple stampin' dimensionals on the scalloped heart with my sentiment.  I attached the small dog punch heart with a mini glue dot.
Thanks for dropping by today I will see you again tomorrow with a new project and video tutorial.
Happy Stampin'

Think Outside the Box for your Cards

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share a fun card with you that is a little different than normal.  I saw this layout on a Facebook group I am in by another demonstrator and I am sorry but I don't remember her name.  But, to whomever the demonstrator was thank you, I loved your card design.  So I CASEd (Copy and Selectively Edit or Copy and Share Everything) this card from her.  I changed up my paper and stamp set but used her card design because it was so different.  Here's a look at my card for today.

I thought this was such a fun way to think outside the box when creating a card that I had to try it.  I know you're probably thinking "What's so different than a normal card!" or "It looks like a regular card to me."  Well that's where the interesting part comes in.  Yes, It does look like a standard card, but it has a little twist to it.  Instead of the entire card card opening up, only the center part opens.  You did read that correctly, and I am sure your still thinking yeah, so dose a regular card.  Well, that would be true, but this little gem isn't quite like that.  It takes the standard card or I should say standard looking card up a notch.  Here's what I mean.  

With the card opening with the smaller card on the front we have elevated our standard card to the fun fold level.  With super easy and little effort I should add.  Sometimes when you think outside the standard box and do one little thing just a little different you're taking that same card up a little bit.  As the demonstrator did with her card layout; just by the one little change she made it changed the entire card and added a little surprise and delight to the recipient.  Who would have expected that the card was a card on a card.  Not me when I first saw it but once I did I was like all the light bulbs in the world light up!  I was like omg that is so smart and cool.
 As you can tell I really liked this card layout and I am sure that I will use it again soon on another card.  I liked it so much that I created the little card recipe for you to pin.  Well, that's my card for today, I hope that you liked it as much as I did.  If you need any of the supplies I used to create today's card you can find them all in my online store.  The Shopping List below has the full list of supplies that I used.  Thanks for dropping by today, I will see you again tomorrow for another Episode of Rick's Saturday Simple Stamping.  So until then Happy Stampin'

Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop

Hello and welcome again to my blog; for my second post today I am going to share with you the card that I designed for Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop.  I used some fun new products for you on this card and it couldn't have been more simple and quick.  I used the new Bird Ballad Laser-cut card which comes in a nice pretty little tin.  These cards are so much better than the laser cut paper we've had in the past in my opinion.  I didn't have to try and cut the delicate laser paper into something that I could use on my card.  Don't get me wrong I loved the laser-cut paper but to me it was so hard to work with.  These new laser-cut cards made it super easy no detailed cutting trying to get just the right piece.  I just added a few little elements and it was done.  Here's a look at my card.

I mean seriously it couldn't have been any easier.  The Bird Ballad Laser-cut cards are a standard A2 size (5 1/2 x 8 1/2), which makes them so much more useful than a note card.  No extra postage required you have to love that.   And, you get 12 laser-cut cards and 12 beautifully scalloped envelopes all in a pretty little tin.  To dress up my card I die cut two large stitched circles from Very Vanilla cardstock and on the one going on the from I stamped a few of the floral images and used a blender pen with a little ink to fill them in.

Next I stamped the sentiment on a piece of Pool Party cardstock that I die cut with the Stitched Nested Label dies; I used one of the smaller ones.  In between the two stitched circles I sandwiched the front of the laser cut card and a little of the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.  I popped that up on a couple Stampin' Dimensionals over some braided linen ribbon.  I placed two of the Bird Ballad Trinkets on the front of the card and a little of the Mossy Meadow linen thread tied into a bow.

By layering the die cuts I could hide the adhesive from the front and that allowed my card not to glue itself shut.  Plus it allowed a place that I could either write or stamp a small sentiment on the inside of the card and it wouldn't get in the way of all that lovely laser-die cutting.

All of the products I used came from this one little suite except the ink pads.  Not to bad if I say so myself.  I love it when I can use products from one or two pages of the catalog and I can create such a fun and wonderfully beautiful card without much trouble.  You can order all the supplies I used today in my online store I will have a list of all the items below the Blog Hop Roll.  And, remember if you are viewing my post via my wordpress site you will have to click here to see the blog roll.  I know some of you haven't made the transition to my new site yet.
