I love fulfilling my customer's requests!!  And I love seeing cards that I can't wait to CASE. I usually ask my card club attendees what type of cards they'd like to make. I want to make sure that I am fulfilling their card needs! And this time I was asked to make some graduation cards for our next card club.

Since graduations haven't really been a need until this year for myself, as well, I looked towards Pinterest for inspiration!!! I came across 2 different designs that I thought were perfect. I tweaked both to use what I have on hand!

For the card in the picture above, I used the idea by Stamp w/ Liz.  You can see details on the card by clicking here. I used the B.Y.O.P and Perfectly Wrapped Stamp sets and the Neutrals DSP stack. I stayed with black and white as the colors since that is what our towns high school colors are.

The cards in the picture below, I saw posted in Pinterest by Suzie Orr. I made one card using Real Red since those are the colors of the recipients school! And I made the other card in black and white. I used the Number of Years stamp set with matching framelits and the Balloon Celebration stamp set with coordinating Balloon Punch.

Make sure to check up my events to see how you can make awesome cards like these!!!!

For the April Blog Hop I chose a bundle that I purchased awhile back when the Occasions catalog first went live! I have barely used it! The colors intimidate I think! And the DSP is more on the masculine side, which I don't typically make many projects out of!

​The card I chose to make uses all Stampin Up products.

​The bundle I chose was from the Party Animal Suite on page 4-5 of the Occasions Catalog and the stamp set is the Balloon Adventures. I also used the matching framelits (Balloon Pop-up) and Party Animal embellishments and Emerald Envy taffeta ribbon.
I used a Paper and ink combination of Whisper White, Tangerine Tango, Emerald Envy and Pacific Point.

Card:
The card is pretty easy to make
I used Emerald Envy for my cardbase and a piece of DSP cut to and 1/8" shorter than the cardbase.
I cut out the balloon background with the Balloon Pop up framelits, then I trimmed the edges to the size I wanted it to be on the front of the card.
Stamped the balloons using the Balloon Adventures and Balloon Celebration stamp sets.
Punched them out using the Balloon punch.
I stamped the banner and cut it out by hand.
I added clear Wink of Stella on the balloons, banner and strings. I also added some Basic Rhinestones.
Bag:
​Take a gusseted bag from the Annual Catalog and adhere the flap on the bottom seam (this helps the bag to stand)
Next, Cut a piece of DSP to 3x9 and score one end at 2' & 4".
I like to put adhesive on the bottom of the dsp so it stays in place once inserted into the bag. Place the DSP inside the bag, you will want one section to be the front of the bag, bottom and then back.
I used the Banner Framelits for the front of the bag (used the 3rd and 4th smallest (counted from the smallest to largest))
I used a balloon stamp to on the background of the Tangerine Tango paper, and I used Stampin Write markers for the words.
Ct a piece of cardstock and punch out the stars with the Confetti Stars Punch.
Cut a piece of DSP to 3x2 and folding in half to (this will be at the top of the bag to help it stay closed)
I used a tassel from the Cupcakes & Carousels embellishment kit, I used a piece of tafetta ribbon and adhered it to the inside of the binder clip with a glue dot and then I hung a balloon embellishment with Whisper White baker's twine.
Finished it off with some Silver sequins and Basic Rhinestones.
Picture
At the moment the bag is filled with Smarties. But I will be changing it up when I give it to my Aunt on Easter Sunday for her birthday. I plan to fill it with some of her favorite candy's and a gift card she can use shopping!!

I hope you enjoyed the projects I made for you! Please leave a comment for your chance at winning some blog candy!!!

​The 2015-2017 In Color's Collection is among the list of retiring products.  Not familiar with what In Colors are??? Well Stampin Up has 5 color categories or collections. There are 4 main ones that contain 10 different colors each: Brights, Neutral, Regals and Subtles. Then we have the 5th which is In Colors, these collections include 5 colors. The In Color collections are available for 2 years. We currently have 2 sets of In Colors: 2015-2017 & 2016-2018. The 2015-2017 In Color inks, paper, ribbon and embellishments will retire on May 31st.

If these are among some of your favorite colors to work with, you may want to consider stocking up sooner, than later. Because most know this color collection is going to retire, and they will STOCKPILE.  And the products will sell out MUCH sooner than anything else.  I can tell you right now, there are several In Color items already sold out since they went on the retired list!!!!

The banner above shows the colors, or you can click here to view the entire collection!

Please contact me with any questions you may have!

So Succulents - retiring

4/11/2017

2 Comments

 
Perhaps one of my favorite products from the Occasions catalog is the Succulent Garden Suite. I had so much fun with this set! I just love how real the paper products look when you add the detailing to make a 3-d Succulent Garden. I have seen some truly amazing projects that simply left me with my mouth open saying "WOW". Unfortunately this is one of those sets retiring. But I can assure you won't be disappointed if you added this set to your collection before it's gone!
There is a plethora of ideas all over the web! Pinterest!!!!
I am sharing 2 of my favorite projects made with the Succulent set. A 3-d mini pot and a mother's day card I made for a swap.
Crazy right same stamp set 2 completely different looks.
Don't wait this set won't be around for long!!!!
