Hand Stamped Cards

Hello Autumn Video (Sneak Peek)

Todays card and video is a sneak peek from the upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog.  Yelp, a new Mini Catalog is coming September 4th!

This card is a super simple layout featuring the Birch Wood embossing folder and the More Than Autumn Bundle.  I'm in love with all the holiday (fall, Halloween, Christmas, Valentine) cards, treat favors and scrapbook opportunities this bundle provides.

Wishing You and Yours Creative Fold Card

This creative/fancy fold card is really easy to make and is a 2 for 1!  You get two card bases from one-sheet of cardstock.  That's a win-win in my world.  I used Reindeer Days and Snowy Scenes Designer Series Papers to decorate the folds on this card.  Yes, it's OK to mix and match your Designer Series Paper.

Wishing You & Yours

The greeting is from the Peaceful Season stamp set from the new Mini Catalog and was stamped using Garden Green ink and popped it out using the Stylish Shapes dies.  I did some fussy-cutting from the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper for the house and trees to add to the bottom of the die cut.  I finished the front of the card with a few Earth Tone Shimmer gems.

The inside greeting is also from the Peaceful Season stamp set.  I really like how this creative fold showcases our beautiful designer series paper.  I can't wait to use this fold for different occasions just by changing out the Designer Series Paper.

New Video with Sentimental Wishes Bundle

Hello and thank you for joining me for todays video featuring products from the Sentimental Christmas Suite Collection from the new Mini Catalog, A.K.A., the Holiday Mini.  I love old Black & White movies, and the Sentimental Wishes stamp set and Sentimental Wishes Designer Series Paper remind me of Christmas in that era.  This Suite has a very nostalgia feel of Christmases long past.

Video #3084 Sentimental Wishes

I started with a Very Vanilla card base and layered Cherry Cobbler cardstock and Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper to the left edge of the card base.  The greeting is from the Peaceful Season stamp set (also a Bundle) and was stamped using Cherry Cobbler.  I stamped the candle image three times with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored using Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.  

Please watch my video below to see how easy it was to make this vintage vibe Christmas card-

Measurements-

4-1/4 x 11 Very Vanilla CS

2 x 5 Sentimental Christmas DSP

3 x 3 Cherry Cobbler CS

We BEE Stamping TEAM Blog Hop - Sneak Peek from the New Mini Catalog

Team Blog Hop Header

Hello, and welcome to the We BEE Stamping TEAM Blog Hop with sneak peek's from the upcoming Mini Catalog.  The Mini Catalog is organized to help you find products for any 0ccassion and crafting style and is your one stop inspiration for fall and holiday card making and crafting.  You can start shopping the new Mini Catalog September 4th.

My sneak peek features a pop up box card using the More Than Autumn Bundle.  This bundle embraces fall with pumpkins and leaves as well as Christmas with candy canes, gingerbread men and hot cocoa.  This bundle also features a tiny heart and die that could be used for Valentine's Day.  I like having a bundle that can be used for a variety of occasions.

Holiday Mini Team Challenge #1

I used Gray Granite for my card base and then added Nest of Winter Designer Series Paper to the flaps and base and for the wrap sections on the cups.  Instead of using Memento Tuxedo Black ink for my images, I used Gray Granite for all the stamped images.  Using Gray Granite gave me a softer look to my images.  I then pulled out Pumpkin Pie, Crumb Cake, Peach Pie, Bronze, and Medium 500 Stampin' Blends to add color and dimension to my images.  Stampin' Up! Stampin' Blends alcohol markers make me feel like an artist!

Holiday Mini Team Challenge #1_1

I attached some of the die cuts directly to the base, while other die cuts were attached to thin strips of a Window Sheet and adhered with glue dots.

There's plenty of room for a hand written message on the back of the box.  

Holiday Mini Team Challenge #1_2

This card was so much fun to make!  I have four great-nieces and I'm already working on versions of this card box for them.

I would love it if you would leave me a comment before you go on to enjoy the blog hop and all the beautiful sneak peek's you'll find!

Quick and Easy Card Template

Check out the card sketches on page 22 in the Annual Catalog for inspiration and ideas.  That's where I got the inspiration for this card.  You can create a card exactly like the sketch or change it up.  There's no right or wrong way, just your creative way!  All of the products used to make this card are listed at the bottom of this post and available in my online store.

Sketch #1

I layered Nature's Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper to a piece of Petal Pink cardstock that was embossed with the Exposed Brick embossing folder.  The greeting is from the Unbounded Love stamp set and was stamped using Pebbled Path ink.  The Unbounded Love stamp set has coordinating dies, but I didn't use them on this layout.  I used the Happy Little Things dies, an Online Exclusive.  I added a bow using Baker's Twine Essential pack.  Easy-Peasy!

All of the supplies used for this card are available for purchase in my online store

Designer Series Paper Sale Ending Soon

This elegant card was made using the beautiful Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper.  I love having the option for pattern paper (Designer Series Paper) be the focal point of a card.  Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper takes all the guess work out of coordinating patterns and colors.  

Unbounded Love You're a Blessing

I started with a Crumb Cake card base and layered two pieces of Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper to a piece of Basic White cardstock.  My greeting is from the Unbounded Love stamp set, which is offered as a bundle, saving you 10%.  I stamped the greeting using Misty Moonlight ink and popped it out with the Unbounded Love dies.  I used Basic Beige Bordered ribbon to cover the Designer Series seam and added attached my greeting with dimensionals.  Wham-Bam, all done!  

Rummage through your stash of Designer Series Papers, I know you have some, and make a card to send to a friend today!
