Folds for Sunday

 Hello! The post is a little late this week. The Theme this week over at the Sisters in Stamping is Folding. Here is my card for this week--

I used a super cute set from the recently released 2023 Sale-A-Bration collection. It's called Hippest Hippos, it has matching dies too-- gotta love that!

Thank-you for coming by today! Happy Stamping, Karla 😊

PS. Happy 4th of July! 

Sale-A-Bration is Ending

Hello and welcome to another Sunday Fun Day brought to you by the Sisters in Stamping! Sale-A-Bration is ending soon and we are showing our favorite projects, here is my card--

The strip of Designer Series Paper (DSP) along the side is one of the Sale-A-Bration (SAB) selections, it is a 6x6 Pack of DSP called Simply Marbleous (#158128), the stamp set is called Catching Butterflies (#158108) it is also one of the SAB selections. I stamped the main image with a Black Momento ink pad and colored it in with Stampin' Blend Markers. The white frame and the sentiment are cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies (#151690, $32.00).  Other than fussy cutting those 2 little butterflies, the card went together really fast.

Here is a quick link to the catalog: 2022 Sale-A-Bration Catalog

Thanks for coming by!

Happy Stamping, Karla 😊

 Last day of Sale-A-Bration 2022 ends tomorrow February 28, contact me!

Happy V-Day!

 You are Otterly Awesome!

Hello Friend

Hello Friend and welcome to another Sunday Fun Day! The Sisters in Stamping are playing around with scraps of Designer Series Paper. Here is my card for today--

I used Friendly Hello (#159990) a Sale-A-Bration bundle to make my card today. Really LOVE this color combination Pool Party, Whisper White and Basic Black. 

I'd like to share with you the way I store my DSP. When I get a new pack of DSP I make slit along the top of the plastic wrap. This creates a bag that I keep all of the little bits and scraps in along with the full sheets of 12x12 DSP. 

There is a piece of cardboard inside the pack of DSP that has the name and item number printed on it along with a list of the Stampin' Up! colors that coordinate with the paper. I like to punch those colors out and display them in with the paper.  

 Thank-you for coming back today and checking me out!

Happy Stamping! Karla 😀

Flowers to Brighten your Day

The Sisters in Stamping post for today is flowers to bring you out of the winter blues, but it's not feeling very wintery around here-- 60's today and 70's tomorrow. But, news says winter has another storm on the way. Oh goody! Here is my flowery card for today--

I'm dedicating this card to my wonderful Mother-in-Law, Connie who passed away yesterday. "To someone who makes others so happy" just sounds like her.

I took a small notch out of the side of the card with the 1/2" circle punch to hold my Old Olive bakers twine. The flowers are colored with markers, Old Olive, Blushing Bride and Flirty Flamingo.

Thank-you for coming by again, hope to see you next week!

Happy Stamping, Karla 😏

Sale-A-Bration 2016 Has Arrived!

The Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog

The Fabulous Friday Sisters in Stamping post for today is to pick a card from the 2015-16 Idea Book & Catalog and change it some way. Every once in awhile I try this design exercise to help me get my creative juices flowing again-- a little jump start so to speak.

You can find the card I chose on the bottom of page 18. I liked the colors, Sahara Sand and Old Olive and the ease of the card. Can you see the things I changed? I moved the tied bow to the left of the main image and I used an oval for the main image instead of the circle in the catalog.

I rimmed the oval with the new Archival black ink pad. I used a Sale-A-Bration stamp set called Hello, it is a set of 9 stamps-- the little birthday hat comes in the set!

Make sure you go over to the Sisters blog to see what the others have come up with, and we will see you here next week!

Happy Stamping, Karla c(:
