Can you CASE it Friday - Sweet Cupcake

Friday 30 March 2018

Today is my first day of retirement from my full time job.  I'm so excited about retiring - and have so much that I want to do. I'll now have lots of time to work in my craft room and on my Stampin' Up! business.  Lots of classes are planned for April - check them out here.

Today I'm sharing a card I CASE'd (Copy and Share Everything) from the Stampin' Up! Annual catalogue on page 83.  This card is perfect for my brothers birthday next week!  I changed up the colours to make it more masculine and pulled out my Stamparatus to be able to easily stamp the candles and the flame.  Using the "hinge stamping" technique, it was easy to stamp the candles evenly across the page.  You'll be able to get your hands on this amazing new stamping tool starting in June but you can come and try it out in my classes and events!

First, here's my card.

Now, here's the card I cased.


I can't wait to show you how easy this card and cards like this are with the Stamparatus!

Can you CASE it Friday - Amazing You!

Friday 23 March 2018

Today I'm sharing a card I CASE'd (Copy and Share Everything) a card using a stampset from the first Sale-a-Bration Brochure.  The Amazing You stamp set is one of my favourites from this Sale-a-Bration.

This card caught my eye because at first glance it looks like a clean and simple card.  When I started to make the card I realized that involved some fussy cutting of the flower and leaves.  It wasn't hard, just had to do some fussy cutting.  I love the look of this card.

First of all, here's my card.

Sweet Little Something for Easter

Tuesday 20 March 2018

Today is the first day of Spring and it's definitely starting to feel that way on the West Coast.  It's also only 10 days or so to Easter.  Today's card uses the Sweet Little Something stamp set which is perfect for making Easter cards.  What could be more perfect than this adorable little bunny!


Here's a tip on how to stamp the 3 images to get the best results:
  1. Stamp the most detailed stamp in the darkest ink first.  For this bunny I used Pumpkin Pie
  2. Stamp the next most detailed stamp in a middle ink using the nose and arms to line up.  For  this bunny I used Tangerine Tango
  3. Stamp the solid stamp last lining up the head, arms and legs.  For this bunny I used Peekaboo Peach.

Using my Stamparatus

Tuesday 13 March 2018

I got to play with my Stamparatus on the weekend as I made my cards for an upcoming card swap.  I just received my Stamparatus - I was lucky enough to get one in the first pre-order.  I was so excited to play with it!



This is a card that I would have never tried without the Stampartus - I couldn't stamp the sentiment multiple times down a page evenly!  For this card, I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy 4 times down the card without reinking so that it looks like it is fading.  The Stamparatus made it so quick easy to make 12 cards!  Wow!  

The Stamparatus will be available to everyone when the new Annual Catalogue is released in June.  You're going to want one of these new tools for sure!


Here's the card that I made:
My card uses the Better Together stamp set which has lots of sentiment and cute little images that coordinate.
