Scrap CardI put this card together using odds and ends of scraps that were in my stamping area.  The only thing that wasn’t something left over from a prior project was the “thank you” sentiment and the 2 Melon Mambo Candy Dots.

You may already have seen this in my April Newsletter:

“Do you Love Scraps?  If you’re a serious crafter, chances are you love your scraps. It takes a major act of willpower for you to toss out old, inch-length pieces of ribbon, bits of Designer Series Paper, or tiny cardstock embellishments—even if they’re five years old!

Prize Opportunity:  Post a photo on my Facebook page, Deb’s Stampin’ Grounds of something you have made with “newly found” things in your stamping area.  I’d love to see them and there will be a prize involved. ”

Scrap project contest prize

YOU could win this prize! Post a photo on my Facebook page, Deb’s Stampin’ Grounds of something you have created using your scraps. Deadline to enter is Sunday, April 24th.

If you have been saving scraps, I challenge you to try and use them.  Here are some ideas:
Other Uses for Scraps
• Layer circles to make flowers
• Make paper chains
• Donate your scraps to schools
• Shred for packaging
• Create decoupage pieces
• Use to make embellishments
• Create collages
• Frame and hang on the wall

What are you waiting for?  Start creating with your scraps and post a photo of it here.

Thanks for stopping by.  Happy Stamping!

Playful Pals Owl

If you need a quick card, the Whisper White note cards/envelopes are a great option.  They are a super value since each package contains 20 note cards and 20 envelopes and are priced at only $6.00.  Write a short note, in no time, on one of these cards and pop it in the mail to brighten the day of someone you care about.

The Playful Pals stamp images can be combined to make lots of cute animals and unique monsters!  Have a ball and see what you can come up with.  The coordinating Playful Pals Thinlits Dies are great so you don’t have to fussy cut the small shapes – save 15% when you purchase the stamp set and thinlits as a bundle using item #141069.

Stamp Set – Playful Pals
Cardstock – Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Bohemian Designer Series Paper
Ink – Blackberry Bliss, Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie
Accessories – Playful Pals Thinlits Dies, Big Shot, Whisper White Note Cards/Envelopes, Snail Adhesive, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Here’s a second version I made using Blackyberry Bliss cardstock instead of Bermuda Bay.  I kept the layout simple because I needed to make a bunch of these to use for customer thank you notes.

Special Card for a Special Day!

, , , ,
Comments: 3

This card is unique and seems like a great one to showcase on the last day of Sale-a-bration, Stampin’ Up!’s biggest promotion of the year.

I made this card when I attended a card class hosted by Diana Buckingham.  She is phenomenal at figuring out how to make a project.  This card is neat because when you pull the tab/ribbon the car moves along the slot.  Car from Diana's class

Notice the placement of the car in the photo below and how we stamped in the slot – I put xxooxx’s because I plan to send this card to my daughter.  It’s a great birthday card, isn’t it?  To make it a more masculine card, you might want to change up the colors and leave off the butterflies.

 

Car from Diana's Class pulled out

Stamp Set – Sheltering Tree, Beautiful Ride, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Cardstock – Tangelo Twist, Hello Honey, Whisper White, 2014-2016 In-Color Designer Series Paper Stack
Ink – Hello Honey, Tangelo Twist, Early Espresso, Basic Black
Accessories – Elegant and Bitty Butterfly Punches, Word Window Punch, Whisper White Baker’s Twine, Basic Rhinestone Jewels, Snail Adhesive, Stampin’ Dimensionals

The 2014-2016 In-Colors will be retiring soon.  It doesn’t take long for the cardstock and re-inkers to sell out once Stampin’ Up! releases theh Retiring Products List.  My suggestion is you stock up on your favorite 2014-2016 In-Colors now while they are still available; Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow amd Tangelo Twist.

Better yet is to order today, March 31st – it’s the last day to take advantage of Sale-a-bration.  Choose a FREE item from teh Sale-a-bration Flyers for each $50 you spend (before shipping and tax).  Access flyers on the right sidebar of my blog.

If your wish list is a long one – purchase the Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit for $99 + tax and fill it with up to $156 worth of products that YOU choose.  This Sale-a-bration deal is $30 more than $125 worth of product that the kit usually contains.  Shipping is FREE on the Starter Kit which is another 10% savings.
