I am so pumped up! I emailed my Pop 'n Cut cards to Karen Burniston, the creator of the Card Base Pop 'n Cut die (130099) and Dress Form Pop 'n Cut dies. She asked if she could share my card from this post on her I'm Not Left-Handed blog! My card is part way down the page. I am really honored.

I know the dies are rather expensive and you might not want to make cards with a dress form and dress on the card. However, it is a good base for adding other pop up items. I'd love to get you all thinking of other ways to use the dies. Click on the linked item names to order the dies. Then email me your creations using Stampin' Up! supplies and I'll feature them here on my blog.

Until your next visit…blessings,
Sue

This is another card I created with the Oh Whale! stamp set (w-129129, c-129132). The striped scalloped strips of Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Series Paper (126922) are left over from a different project. I used the Cloudy Day Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (127022) for the Baja Breeze background and for the puffy Whisper White clouds.

I used the Stamp-a-ma-Jig (101049) to stamp 'baby' from the saying 'welcome baby' of the Petite Pairs stamp set (w-122495, c-122497) under the Whalecome! saying of Oh Whale! on Whisper White card stock. This fit nicely in the Ticket Duo Punch (126883).

Supplies: stamp sets – Serene Silhouettes (c-127324, w-127322), Perfectly Penned (c-122892, w-122890); other – Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (127819), Window Frames Collection Framelits Dies (129021), Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies (127003), Early Espresso 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon (119959), Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (113439)

Last week I started a series of cards using the Serene Silhouettes stamp set. In this post I shared the index for this set. Today I have another of the images. I stamped it with Island Indigo ink on Pool Party card stock. Then I ran it through the Big Shot with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing folder. Next I cut the image out with one of the Window Frames Collection Framelits Dies. I should have cut it out first and then embossed it because the second pass through the Big Shot flattened the embossing a little bit. I stamped the Happy Birthday onto Very Vanilla card stock and cut it out using one of the Apothecary Accents framelits. Then I embossed it. I don't know why I thought I could do without either the Lacy Brocade embossing folder or the Window Frames framelits because I love them both. They are so elegant. The card base is Crumb Cake.

This card is for my daughter-in-law whose birthday is in early November. Wow…I am being very proactive for a change. Now I have to remember to mail it in time. THAT will be the challenge! If you need any supplies for this or any other project, either click on the links in the supply list or visit my demo online store to place your order.

I have two more cards (at least) with this stamp set so come back again to see them.

Until next time…blessings,

Supplies: Serene Silhouettes stamp set (w-127322, c-127324), Perfectly Penned stamp set (w-122890, c-122892), Scallop Trim Border Punch (118402), Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper (125409), Very Vanilla and Pool Party card stock

Welcome to The Soggy Stamper blog this Wednesday evening. Today I am going to start a series of cards using the Serene Silhouettes stamp set. Here is the index showing all the stamps in the set:

I used Perfectly Penned for the greeting on this card. It just happens that Stampin' Up! is doing a test market of offering individual stamps from selected greeting sets between now and Jan 3. Perfectly Penned is one of those sets. Click on this link SSF_Perfectly_Penned-2 to see the individual price for each stamp in the set and the recommended clear block size to use with the stamp. Seasonal Sayings is the second set in this promotion. Here is the link for that set  SSF_Seasonal_Sayings-1 and the third set is Word Play, SSF_Word_Play. What do you think of the idea? I can see an advantage of being to purchase just the one stamp you like from a set but I rather like getting all the sayings in a set. That way I have an appropriate stamp when I need it and don't have to buy them one at a time.

Thanks for coming by to visit today. Come back tomorrow for another sample using this stamp set.

Until next time…blessings,
Sue

Supplies: stamp set Teeny Tiny Wishes (c-127802, w-115370), Autumn Accents Bigz die (127812), Labels Collection Framelits (125598), Champagne Glimmer Paper (127885), Woodgrain Textured Impressions embossing folder (127821), Fancy Fan Textured Impressions embossing folder (127751),Early Espresso Core'dinations card stock (127848); Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla, and Rich Razzleberry card stock; Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry, and Old Olive inks; sponge daubers, brown Stampin' Up! packing paper

Sandi Dailey has created some wonderful fall leaves by sponging color onto the brown packing paper that comes with our Stampin' Up! orders. I think this makes much more realistic leaves than using card stock and gave it a try. The card is similar to one I posted here. I was making a bunch for a swap. When I got to the last card, after adhering all the elements except for the greeting label, I noticed that the fold was on the right instead of the left. Oooppps! What to do? I turned it upside down and have the leaves hanging down and put the label in the upper left-hand corner. I think I kinda like that one better. :o]

Thanks for coming by to visit my blog. Do come back again real soon! Remember, you can order any supplies by either clicking on the links in the supply list or visiting my online store.

  On this post, I shared the index for this Bootiful Occasions stamp set (c-126597, w-126395) and have been sharing cards created with each of the stamps in the set. This one is the Cowboy boot. I love the saying "Kick Up Yer Heels"! It works perfectly for a birthday card like this one but I can see it as a Get Well card with a computer generated greeting that says something like "Hope it won't be long until you can…" and then the "Kick Up Yer Heels." I used Crumb Cake for the base of this card and layered a pattern from Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper (126898). The image is stamped on Soft Suede card stock with Early Espresso ink. I cut along the top of the boot to hang a loop of Early Espresso Baker's Twine (123124). The other end is tied around the greeting that has been stamped on Very Vanilla card stock and punched out with the Ticket Duo Builder Punch (126883). I got the punch so I could finish the Make & Takes from convention but am finding it the perfect size to punch out some of our greetings. I'm so glad it can be used for more than tickets.

Thanks for coming to visit today. If you want to get the supplies to make this card, just click on the links or visit my demonstrator online store. Tomorrow I will have the fourth card of this series so be sure to come back to see it.

Until next time…blessings,

Each year, Stampin' Up! designs a stamp set specifically as a fund-raiser for the Ronald McDonald House Charities. This year's stamp set is this darling Moving Forward (w-126320, c-126322). For each set purchased, Stampin' Up! will donate $3 to this charity. I used the bird and the blimp to create this birthday card for our grandson's 10th birthday. The background papers are Summer Smooches Designer Series Papers (125409). I used the new Duo Ticket Punch (126883). Order this darling stamp set and give to Ronald McDonald Charities through Stampin' Up!

This stamp set, Four Frames, is one I had to keep out from storage when we packed up our house. It is not a new set as it came out in the Occasions mini catalog two springs ago. I love it though because it coordinates so well with the decorative label punch. The Petite Pairs stamp set greeting fits into the decorative labe punch perfectly. Then I went to my punches to see what would work to punch out the second part of the greeting. Guess what? The larger of the two tickets on the Ticket Duo punch works just right. I bought the punch to finish the Make & Takes from convention but hadn't used it yet. I'm so happy to find another use for the punch. I ran the Pink Pirouette card stock through the Big Shot with the Fancy Fan embossing folder, then wrapped a piece of 5/8" Victoria Crochet trim around it. The labels are popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
The supplies I used are listed below. If you don't have some of them, you know you will need them so just click on their names to take you to my online store. Or…you can make a list and then visit my store here.
