Welcome to my favorite hop of the year! I look forward to January, when we kick off the new year with a fresh blog hop! I am energized and organized after a much needed December hop break! Each year I look at my perpetual calendar and review all birthdays for the year and begin to go through current cards to send! I then plan to make more birthday cards if I don't have enough....and then some! So it's so fitting that we start our 2021 Stampin Friends Blog Hop with Birthday Celebrations!

So here’s to a new year, new beginnings, new possibitlities and a new 2021 Stampin Friends Blog Hop!! Be sure to hop along and visit everyone's blogs, if you miss anyone along the way, you can find a list of participants to the bottom of each blog. I hope you came from Teri Pocock’s blog

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!!
What better way to celebrate a birthday then with ice cream??? The Ice Cream Corner Suite is brand new in the Stampin' Up Mini Catalog!!!! The delectable color palette combined with cool
ice cream images, makes for a perfect treat on any project!
​I chose a fun fold card that I have never made before! This Easel Card is so easy to make! I choice Cinnamon Cider as my base with a layer of Soft Sea Foam! Can you say Mint Chip? Ok, maybe just me!! Then, I added the layer of DSP. Rich Razzleberry, Soft Sea Foam and Bermuda Bay are the perfecct scoops! I see Black Raspberry, Mint Chip and Cotton Candy!! Well around here, those would be colors of so fun flavored ice cream. What about were you are??? Stamp the images and use the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch to punch them out! Add the fun sprinkles or jimmies and chips on the scoops and then don't forget the criss-crosses to define the cone!
The Happy Birthday Greeting can be found in the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and I stamped that in Rich Razzleberry.
Below is the measurements of the paper used! For more details on how I put this card & box together, I created a video for you to follow!
To make the card:
Cardstock: Cinnamon Cider 11x4 1/4; on the 11" side score at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2. Fold on the 5 1/2 score line and then fold back on the 2 3/4 score line. 
Layer 1: Soft Sea Foam 5 1/2x4, DSP 5x3 3/4 adhere to the bottom section of the card
Layer 2: Soft Sea Foam 2 at 4x2 1/2, DSP 1 at 3 3/4x2 1/4. Adhere 1 of the Soft Sea Foam pieces to the center section (measures 4 1/4x2 3/4). Adhere the other piece of Soft Sea Foam and then DSP to the top section.
Layer 3: Cinnamon Cider 2x4, Soft Sea Foam 1 7/8x3 7/8, and Whisper White 1 3/4x3 3/4. Stamp the sprinkles in different colors on opposite corners of the Whisper White. Adhere layers togther and then add about 1/2 way down on the top section. Use dimensionals. Make sure to only add the adhesive to the part that sticks to the card base.
Layer 4: Cinnamon Cider 1 1/4x3 1/2, Soft Sea Foam 1 1/8x3 3/8 and Whisper White 1x3 1/4 Stamp the greeting in Rich Razzleberry.
Ink Colors used to stamp ice cream scoops, jimmies/sprinkles, chips and cone on Whisper White. Bermuda Bay, Cinnamon Cider, Early Espresso, Rich Razzleberry and  Soft Sea Foam. Punch out using the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. Add to the Whisper White Sprinkle layered piece. Wrap and tie in a bow,  on top section, with the Rich Razzleberry Ribbon.
Lift the card up, so the ice cream cone section stands almost up right, then add the greeting to the base of the card, so it holds up the top section. 
The box is just super-fun! The Love You Always Treat Box can be used in so many different ways! It is part of the Love You Always Suite, which features a more Valentine's Day look. But by wrapping it in the Ice Cream DSP it's a cool birthday treat box! And, no adhesive is need to assemble the box!!!
When the box is pushed open, opens like a match box, out pops a little surprise ice cream treat! LOVE it! The box is roomy enough for some treats and/or gift card! So Fun!!!
Picture
To decorate the box;
  1. DSP 3 3/4x9 1/8 and 3 3/4x2 1/2
  2. wrap the cover to the box and adhere the DSP
  3. Cut out 3 ovals from the Layering Oval Framelits
  4. Stamp and cut out ice cream scoops and cone.
  5. Cut a piece of Whisper White 1 3/4x7/8 and stamp greeting in Bermuda Bay.
  6. Adhere to the top of the box using dimensionals.
  7. Add the remaining piece of DSP to the inside of the box.
  8. Cut a piece of window sheet to about 1/2x 3 layer the cone onto the strip, bend about a 1/2 section and adhere that to the inside of the box, on the side, at the top seam and lightly hold down to close the box..When the box is pushed open, this should pop up.

What do you think? SO FUN right? I just love how adorably fun this suite is!! 
Thank you for joining me today, be sure to leave a comment and visit blog!

Happy Stampin!

The Gang’s All Meer Stamp Set is a fun one to bring out the smiles and you can see its versatility with our projects here. To create a darling valentine, we paired the set with From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Heart Punch Pack, and the Stitched Be Mine Dies. The beautiful For You card shows how to pair sentiments with embellishments, in this case, the Peaceful Poppies Elements. And on our cute birthday box, we combined the stamp set with the Bonanza Dies. There are so many ways to share creativity—and Sale-A-Bration!

Today I have two fun projects for you using the new Stampin Up Peaceful Poppies Suite from the mini catalog. This Suite features not 1 but 2 stamp sets with coordinating dies. I think it is so pretty, I couldn't wait to use it! 
The card was made using Rich Razzleberry as the card base and features the Peaceful Poppies DSP. Isn't it pretty? The Happy Birthday greeting is from the new Peaceful Moments stamp set included in this bundle. The flowers and leaves are from the Painted Poppies stamp set. I stamped on vellum with Versamark, and embossed the images in white. The flowers and leaves were cut out using the coordinating dies, Poppy Moments. If you were browsing through the catalog, you may have noticed this card with a different greeting! I actually made a whole bunch of these cards as part of a swap for a Stampin UP group I am in.
My next project is this huge box!!! I love to give candles to friends and families and normally I would just grab a giftbag and add a tag! But I thought what about a box. No problem right?? After a few failed attempts of trying to make a box on my own. I was ready to throw the towel in. 

After a quick search on Pinterest, I can across a Pin from one of our hoppers Teri Pocock. Teri's box was perfect and her directions were so easy to follow. And I love being able to find something I can make and give credit! So thank you Teri, for sharing your amazing project, that I am proud to recreate You can find Teri's directions and video here. 
I carried the Poppies over to the box. The base is Poppy Parade and I used a different sheet of DSP  with a layer of Rich Razzleberry under. This box measures at 4wx4dx5 1/4h and is slightly bigger than the candle I added, but that allows me to add something else or add some tissue paper without the box being to stuffed! Love it. ​
Picture
The flower and leaves were cut out with the Poppy Moments dies. I used Poppy Parade, Basic Black, Mossy Meadow and Old Olive. I layered them together and used the Fine Tip Glue Pen on the top of the flower to give it a shiny look. And I brushed the leaves with the Clear Wink of Stella. 
I hope you enjoyed my projects. Be sure to leave a comment, I will love to hear your thoughts!

Old meets new

Sometimes the most full-filling projects I make are the ones that incorporate old and new! Once stamps or supplies retire, I find myself siting on a lot of leftovers. When I teach workshops and design for my clubs, I focus on new products only!!   
​For the these cards (except the pandas, I posted about those on Sunday) I was able to use up ribbon that I have had for a while!!!! I had enough of each color to create 2 cards of each! Perfect!  I used the Picture Perfect Stamp set! Wild Wasbi, Daffodil Delight, Blushing Bride and Dapper Denim were the colors of my cardbases and inks, I also added Bermuda Bay, Berry Burst, So Saffron and Wisteria Wonder when stamping the candles.
​Easy cards that were easy to be reproduced! And then ribbon was perfect!

True Gentlemen

1/31/2018

Does anyone else struggle with masculine cards like I do?   I often feel like the products available for these types of cards are too specific. I don't like making cards with tool sets or ties, as the person receiving, do not wear ties or happen to be someone using tools. The of course I search and feel that I don't find anything more general. The masculine cards seem to be boring, older and quite frankly not fun to me! And well, the majority of my supplies are just to feminine and if I do make a more masculine card, it's too young looking??? Anyone feel my struggle??
​So...the new True Gentlemen Suite is a nice addition to my supplies. But I am not a huge fan of the colors! But the DSP is really nice and very usable!! I do like the stamps! And I love that the set is bundled with a punch!!!  Going forward, I want to work on creating my own patterns in colors I that I think is a little more appealing and modern! 
​I am still very happy with the designs of the cards!!! I know I will definitely have more use of this suite than those of the past!!!!! 
​Thanks for listening! I am open to suggestions as well!!!

Aren’t these cards simply magical!! I just love them!!!! I do not have many stamps for children that I have come across and thought I have to have them!!! I will admit, I thought the set was cute but had a hard time seeing myself using them!!! Once I started seeing all the wonderful projects that have been created with Myths & Magic Suite, I knew it was time to purchase!!!! I am soo glad I did!!
These cards were inspired by Kristal Bell, Stampin’ Hoot, and Mercedes Weber! Thank you ladies for you’re awesome creations!
The Myths & Magic Suite can be found on pages 36-37 of the Occasions Catalog!

PICTURE PERFECT BIRTHDAY WITH PARTY PANDAS

I have been working on refreshing some of my cards that I sell in a local boutique! My go to for inspiration is Pinterest! I love finding a design that works for my needs and I am very grateful for the demonstrators who share their creations!!! Todays’ cards were inspired by Patty Bennett, combining Party Pandas and Picture Perfect Birthday stampsets. Such a fun and simple card to make! I used the colors that are found in the Perfect Party DSP! The combination of Bermud Bay, Berry Burst, Lemon-lime Twist and Peakaboo Peach really makes a bright and cheery card!!!!
The entire Picture Perfect Party Suite can be purchased for just under $60! But the best part is you can earn the Party Pandas stampset for free, during Sale-A-Bration!
How great is that!!!!
Hope you enjoy

Stampin Friends Birthday Blog Hop

Welcome to our April Stampin Friends Birthday/Celebration Blog Hop! We have 14 talented crafters involved in the hop, including 1 Guest Hoppers.

Please, make sure you check everyone's blogs out. After reading my blog, scroll to the end, and please leave a comment for your chance to win a little blog candy from me!

If you have visited my blog from Elizabeth Jeanne Thatcher's site, thanks so much for continuing with the Blog Hop. A full list of Blog Hop participants are listed at the end so you can continue along the hop!
This Month's Guest Hopper is:
​ Jennifer Knape Cerizo
Picture
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!!!

#imbringingbirthdaysback Round 2

8/17/2016

Back in March, I blogged about bringing birthdays back. I offered a challenge to anyone who commented or emailed me that I would send you a birthday card that you could use. You can read the original #imbringingbirthdaysback post here.

The original #imbringingbirthdaysback was started by Shannon West and a stamp was designed. Love it!!! You can read about Shannon West's challenge here.

So my challenge was:  I challenge you to mail birthday cards out to those that you know the dates on.  AND...comment on my blog with the #imbringingbirthdaysback and I will mail you a birthday card, handmade from me. 
After commenting, I will need to ask that you email me your full name and address so I can mail you the card. My email is sajandcrafts@aol.com

I received a wonderful response via email, which is great!!!! I know most won't want any personal information on a website. Soo with that said, I am going to offer this challenge again and I am going to offer this challenge from now until December 31st. With the exception, I am going to send you 2 birthday cards, (a traditional style birthday card and a non-traditional (may be seasonal or holiday themed)).

For more information on the #imbringingbirthdaysback stamp, you can click on the image below.

There's no purchase necessary and no soliciting! You will receive the cards from me in approx 7-10 business days, depending on the response and whether I need to create more cards.

I really you will except this challenge, I look forward to hearing from you all again!!!

Happy  Stampin
Steph
