Did You Know It is A Season to Celebrate?

Pamela April 7, 2016 April 7, 2016Friendship, Graduation

Before we get to celebration season, I want to apologize for the video problems. I was notified this morning that the last two videos were marked private. I was surprised because on my end it shown public. However, for some unknown reason the publication button did not take. I do not check my playlist on You Tube. I go to what shows up on my blog. A fatal error on my part. So the Friday Card Fold Video is up and so is yesterday’s WOW Wednesday. Again sorry for this.

Now onto today’s card. You notice I said “a season to celebrate.” This time of the year we have graduations, people retiring, and birthdays as usual. Hence, season to celebrate. So keeping with the embellishment theme, I chose to use the Stampin’ Up! Expressions Natural Elements. These are wooden elements that add something to a card. It is perfect on that special card. These elements have Congrats, Thanks, plus the Celebrate all in one package.

Tips

Stamp Set: Gorgeous Grunge

Embellishment: Expressions Natural Elements

I think Crumb Cake is a natural with Tangelo Twist.

I can’t resist giving you another item. Notice I said item because it isn’t card. Your second embellishment is doing a treat bag and using a clothespin. Stampin’ Up has all these colorful mini clothespins. I simply chose so paper and made a treat bag and decorate. Go to the Annual Catalog and check it out.

Today I am going to show you a simple way to keep track of all those little pieces in your framelits. Plus and easy way to glue without the mess. So watch the video and enjoy the card afterwards.

I can’t resist giving you this card even though it doesn’t fit with the tool of the week. The Cherry Blossoms are in bloom in Washington DC. They are gorgeous so here is my card to as a symbol of friendship. You know they were given to the United States from Japan as friendship. By the way if you have not figured out the stamp, it is Sheltering Tree and the greetings was Butterfly Basics.

You Need to Meet the Stampin’ Up Jungle!

Have you met the Stampin’ Up! Jungle? Come explore the Stampin’ Up Jungle! Where the critters are king. I have made two cards for you today from Playful Pals. I am thinking about creating a play date for anyone interested in working on this bundle. You know you can do more than cards with the dies. Tomorrow you will be getting a video to help you be organized with your framelits.

Tips

Stamps: Playful Pals, Suite Sayings

I have to say these critters are cuter than I expected and so much fun to work with. When you order don’t forget to bundle and save 15%.

Embellishment: 3/8″ Satin Ribbon Melon Mambo, It’s My Party Candy Dots

Those Candy Dots are so versatile that you can use it in so many ways. I know the Occasions Catalog shows it as birthday, but take it out of that context and use your imagination.

Color Combination: Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate

I personally love the Melon Mambo with gray. The lion needs contrast with the two yellows so I used the Delightful Dijon for the darker shade.

Ink: Melon Mambo, Archival Black including marker, Crushed Curry, Delightful Dijon

Paper: It’s My Party Designer Paper, Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate

Again, I am using my favorite paper. I am aware it is a little pricey, but well worth. I am finding it great for other themes than birthdays. Think with the size of the paper how many cuttings you can get for your cards. It is less than a $1 a sheet and top quality. This doesn’t count punches.

Accessories: Playful Pals Dies, Big shot

Here is a video from Stampin’ Up to show you how much fun this stamp set is to use.
