Fun Friday using Hippo Happiness bundle

Welcome to my blog. Stampin Up is neat in that you can use it with other products in your stash to make your cards. For today’s cards I used a die I have to make a flip card with the Hippo Happiness bundle. I also used the Medium Daisy punch and the Playing With Patterns DSP. I cut out the card base with the die as well as the layers. I used the dies from the die set to make the circle and ovals. I stamped the images on Whisper White card stack then die cut them out using the dies that come in the Hippo Happiness bundle. I punched out the daisies using the punch and scrap DSP. I edged the flowers with Crushed Curry ink.
I think you’d have fun with the Hippo Happiness bundle. You can buy the products I used from my website (except for the card die).

Zany Zebra 6 x 6 One Sheet Wonder using Playing With Patterns DSP

Welcome to my blog. I needed some thank you and birthday cards so I decided to try a one sheet wonder template that I saw on Pinterest by Jackie Bolhuis. From this template you can make 4 cards. You need 2 pieces of DSP. I chose Playing with Patterns because of the colors and thought would work well with the Zany Zebras stamp set. This a cute fun stamp set.
Materials and Directions 
1. To start you will need 4 Whisper White card bases @ 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 scored at 4-1/4 on the 8-1/2 inches side .
2. You will need 2 pieces of Playing With Patterns DSP . Here is the template I used for cutting.

I cut both at the same time. I made the 1st cut @ 2-1/2 inches then cut the pieces from this section. I then cut the remaining piece at 1-1/2 then cut the pieces from this section. That will leave you with a 2 x 6 inch piece that will be used for 2 cards.
3. 2 cards I made by mixing the pieces and adhering to the card front as in the photo.

4. 2 cards I made by using the 2 x 6 pieces. I cut these down to 2 x 5. I then cut a layering piece
2-1/4 x 5-1/4. I glued the DSP to this.

5. I used the Layering Circle dies for the zebra.I cut out the small one using Whisper I then stamped the zebra It. The larger one I die cut out of Bumblebee cardstock. I then attached the small one to it and adhere to the card front with dimensionals.

6. The sentiment and images for the other 2 cards came from this set as well. I used the new colors Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight to stamp them.

Daisy Lane Triangle Fold Card

Welcome to my blog. I like making fun fold cards. They add interest to the card. The Triangle Fold card is simple to make. I used DaisyLane stamp set, the 2 Daisy punches and Flowers For Every Season DSP.
Materials and Directions ( pictures are from another triangle fun fold)
1. Start with a piece of Old Olive cardstock 8-1/2 x 11. Score @ 4-1/2 on the 8-1/2 inch side and 5-1/2 on the 11 inch side.

2. Cut diagonally. I had to cut by hand because my cutter is small. This gives you 2 card bases.

3. Cut a 5-1/4 x 4 inch piece of DSP diagonally. Glue the pieces to the front.

4. Punch out 2 Daisies using the medium and large punch in Whisper White. I edged the flowers using Daffodils Delight ink. Glue small on top of the medium and adhere to front of the card.
5. Inside layer is 4 x 5-1/4 inch of Whisper White. I stamped the flower from Daisy Lane  using Daffodil Delight. The sentiment is from a retired set. I used a strip of  scrap DSP for the edge.

Welcome to my blog. Father’s Day is this Sunday. Here is one last project you can use for Father’s Day or any occasion. It’s a simple gift card holder.
Materials and Directions 
1. Start with a piece of Bumble Bee card stock cut at 4-1/4 x 11 inches. Score @5-1/2 & 9 inches.

2. With a circle punch I notched the pocket as in the photo.

3. Outside layer I used In Good Taste DSP cut@ 3-1/4 x 4. I used the same DSP to cover the pocket cut @1-1/2x 4. Inside layer is a piece of Whisper White cardstock cut @3/4 x 4. I then adhered these layers to the card. Then using tear and tape on 2 sides I glued the pocket side down.

4. The images came from Rooted in Nature stamp set. For the tree slab I used Soft Suede ink . I stamped off once before stamping on a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock. The sentiment I stamped using Early Espresso. I then fuzzy cut out . The leaves I stamped on Old Olive using Memento ink and then used the matching die from the Matching Roots dies. I then adhered to the card as in the photo.
5. On the inside layer you can stamp a sentiment that you want. I haven’t decided if I’m going to use for Fathers Day or an upcoming birthday.

Welcome to my blog. Well Luzy

is going to have to wait for her favorite stamp set Playful Pets because it is on back order till June 15th. My bad. If there is something you want to use soon don’t wait too long or you’ll be in the same boat as Luzy.
 The above card I made using the Lovely You Bundle and the In Good Taste DSP. The Lovely You bundle comes with the stamp set and Lovely Label  pick a punch. The In Good Taste DSP is part of the In Good Taste Suit. I only bought the DSP. The rest didn’t appeal to me but might for you. Check it out. That’s what’s great about Stampin Up you can buy pieces you want and use them your way. Often I use with other vendor products.
Materials and Directions:
1. Begin with a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock. Cut to 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 inches. Score at 4-1/4 on the 8-1/2 inc side. This is your card base.
2. Layering piece. I used a piece from the In Good Taste DSP. Cut at 4 x 5-14. Adhere to the card front.
3. Banner is made from a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock 5 x 2 inches. I used the Triple Banner punch to make the banner.
3. Using the largest stitched circle die I cut out a circle in Whisper White. I stamped my image from the Lovely You stamp set. I used Pear Pizzazz and Pretty Peacock stampin pads. I then used the large Layering Circle and cut out a circle from the silver foil sheet. I attached the White circle on top and adhered to the card as in the photo.

Shadow Box using Bird Ballad DSP/Pick a free bundle

Welcome to my blog. Tomorrow is the last day you can order from the current catalog. I wanted to share my favorite DSP from this catalog. It is the Bird Ballad DSP(#149589). It is on sale for $8.05 saving you 30%. The above shadow box card I made using a shadow box die from my stash. There are several companies that make this die and you can do a google search to find the one you want.
The following shadow box card I made without using a die.

Materials and Directions 
- start with 2 pieces of cardstock 5-1/2 x 4-1/4, score both @ 1/2,1,4-1/2,5 fold on score lines as in the photo.

Cut the center out of one using any die shape you want( do this before you fold on the score lines). If you want to put DSP on the front as I did you need a piece 3-1/4 x 4. Attach loosely ( I used washi tape) then die cut both at the same time. Then adhere the DSP with glue.
- On the other piece adhere a piece of DSP 3-1/4 x 4
- Attach the 2 pieces together with strong glue. I use tare and tape
