Sweetest Thing Gummy Bear Card

Hello and welcome to my blog; I hope that you are doing well. My card for today features products from the How Suite It Is suite from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog. This is a bright colorful fun suite of products that is prefect for any birthday or any time that you want to create something to give someone a little treat. Here's a look at my card.

Sweetest Thing Bundle, Stampin' Up!, Rick Adkins

I picked the designer series paper with all the gummy bears on it for my card today. I put the designer series paper on a piece of whisper white that was cut at 2 1/2 x 5 1/2. I paired it with a Melon Mambo card base which was cut at 4 1/4 x 11. I stamped some of the images from the stamp set in matching Melon Mambo ink for a tone on tone look. I stamped the Treats stamp and the decorative label with Melon Mambo Ink and used the matching framelits to cut them both out.

Once I had the sentiment and other piece cut out I added them to the card front with a couple Stampin' Dimensionals. I added a bow made from the Coastal Cabana & Granny Apple Green Reversible Ribbon. For the inside of the card I added a piece of whisper white with a little piece of the matching designer series paper at the bottom.

I hope that you have enjoyed my sweet little card today. I had fun making it. If you find that you need any of the supplies that I used on this card you can pick them up in my online store.

Thanks for dropping by.

Happy Stampin'

Florentine Filigree Layered Die Cut Card

Florentine Filigree Bundle, Stampin' Up!, Rick Adkins

I shared during my Facebook Live how to create a layered look with just the one thinlit. I just had to cut it a couple times and do a little cutting to make everything fit. For the exact how to you can watch the video of the replay to learn how. Once you see the video it's extremely easy. This is one of my favorite types of cards something that looks really complicated but once you see it it's quite easy.

Video Tutorial:

It just requires a little time to get a great look. This video like most of mine are unedited because I feel you should see every mistake and how to fix them instead of the perfect video where no one makes a mistake. I will tell you that one of the best things that you will need to make this card is the Multipurpose adhesive sheets to attach to your cardstock first before die cutting. It will make it so much easier.

Sadly the Lovely Lipstick Foil sheets (along with the Grapefruit Grove ones) has sold out and is no longer available as a Saleabration item. But that's totally okay because you really don't have to have it to create this card. You can totally use cardstock or any other color foil.

Thanks for dropping bye today I hope that you have enjoyed my post and project for today. If you are wondering when I am live on Facebook. I'm live on Facebook every Wednesday at 8 pm CST and on YouTube every Tuesday afternoon at 4 pm CST. So you can catch me live tonight on Facebook by clicking here.

Because Adulting is Hard featuring Hello Cupcake and the Call me Cupcake Framelits

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a card that I create during last weeks YouTube Live. I go live on my YouTube Channel every Tuesday at 4:00 pm CST, with a new project. During last weeks episode I used the Hello Cupcake stamp set and a few other Saleabration items, plus the Call me Cupcake Framelit dies which are part of the Saleabration Coordination products that can be purchased. Here's a look at my Card.

For the card I used showed how to add extra texture to your stamped images by stamping on your designer series paper. This allows for more texture and additional colors without a lot of work. I used the Stamparatus to stamp my images. This allowed me to double stamp and triple stamp the images as need with perfect placement each time. You will see what I am talking about in the video tutorial.

Video Tutorial:

You can catch me live each week by clicking here and subscribing to my channel.

For the top folding card I placed everything on the right hand side of the card base. While on the side folding card I placed the pieces on the left hand side.

You can earn the Saleabration items for FREE based on your purchases. We are in the last month of Saleabration so I would recommend that you take advantage of all the free Saleabration items that you can earn. You can find the full list of supplies in the Stampin' Up! Shopping List below.
