Hello, Rise & Shine

Make Today Amazing

Linda Suarez

Hello!

Today’s card is a fun fold that uses the Rise & Shine stamp set that was available in the 2020 Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-Bration Brochure and is now no longer available. Maybe it will carry over to the new catalog? I really like the sentiments in this stamp set. I know the dies are carrying over, so here’s hoping.

I used the retired Coffee Break Designer Series Paper; I still have a little bit of it left. I’m making pretty progress on using up my retired DSP.

I cased this card design from Lisa Marie of Stamping with Lisa Marie. It is truly a FUN fold!

Thanks for stopping by!

Coastal Weave, Thank You, Tropical Oasis Memories & More

Tropical Thanks!

Linda Suarez

Hello!

I made a couple of ‘no stamping’ cards using the Tropical Oasis Memories & More card pack and the Coastal Weave embossing folder (LOVE) from the 2020 Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog.

This card pack has some really great images that are perfect for making cards very quickly.

How pretty is this in Soft Sea Foam?

And this in Petal Pink?

Best Dressed, Mother's Day, Pleased as Punch

Happy Mother’s Day

Linda Suarez

Hello!

The following card was the first one I made when I got my Pleased as Punch Designer Series Paper!

My favorite paper this Spring is not in any catalog; it is a special release by Stampin’ Up! and it coordinates with four of the new punches – Small Bloom, Umbrella Builder, Tulip Builder and the Heart Duo Pack. So awesome! And such beautiful Spring colors too.

I’ve been showing a lot of cased cards lately – can’t help it, they are all so pretty I want to re-create them – but this one is all mine!

Birthday, Painted Poppies, Peaceful Moments, Peaceful Poppies

Happy Birthday!

Linda Suarez

Hello!

If you like paper piecing, you will like this card. Most of the work is in die cutting and piecing. A little smoosh and sentiment stamping and that’s all there is to it.

I cased this card from Nancy Hoetker. I changed the colors – wild poppies are orange here in California.

Lily Impressions, Lovely Lily Pad, Peaceful Moments

With Deepest Sympathy

Linda Suarez

Hello!

Sympathy cards are usually the hardest ones to make. That’s why I like to have a stash of them on hand. I really don’t like making them on demand. But Stampin’ Up! makes it easier with all the great products.

This card was cased from Anne Marie Hile.

bird ballad, Birthday

What’s This I Hear?!

Linda Suarez

Hello!

The Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog is so great for making quick cards. All you need to do is add a sentiment and an embellishment or two and you’re good to go!

This makes a great Spring card! The yellow organdy ribbon is retired, but still a favorite of mine (I had to hoard a bit of it!). Don’t forget to “hoard” your current Sale-a-Bration favorites. I think some items may carry over but most will not and some items are already gone.

Birthday Jubilee, Paper Pumpkin Feb 2020

Celebrating YOU is the best

Linda Suarez

Hello!

Yesterday was my turn to challenge my friends and I asked them to use any Paper Pumpkin kit and make an alternative card. Here is my card:

I used elements in the February 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit – Lovely Day. That is a really cute kit, it almost felt like my challenge was too easy. 😉

I added Wink of Stella to the flower which really makes it stand out. Sorry the photo just doesn’t do it justice.

Thanks for stopping by!

I cased this card from the 2020 Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog, page 67. I changed the color of the card to yellow, my favorite color. This card screams SPRING! to me.

Beautiful Day, Birthday Jubilee, Jubilee Beauty, Thinking of You

Thinking of You

Linda Suarez

Hello!

Today’s challenge card is from my friend Shari: to make a Thinking of You card. I have also started a daily card challenge on my Facebook page for those of us in the San Francisco Bay Area who have to shelter-in-place for the next few weeks. The first SIP Daily Challenge was yesterday: to make a card using a product that you had to have but then haven’t used. Use it now!

Here is my card for both challenges:

The Thinking of You sentiment is from the Beautiful Day stamp set. I fussy cut it out, not something I will do very often, but I think it was the right thing to do for this card.

One of the first bundles I got when the 2020 Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog came out was Birthday Jubilee. I loved the lacy dies. Well, it’s been sitting on my shelf since January waiting for me to break it out. So finally, I did!

I cut out the lacy rectangles with Shimmery White paper. So pretty but very hard to photograph. The photo above shows a little of it. This card looks so much prettier in real life.

Thanks for stopping by!
Linda

Garden Lane, Pleased as Punch, Welcome Easter

Sending Hoppy Easter Wishes

Linda Suarez

Hello!

Yesterday I challenged my friends to make a green card since it was St. Patrick’s Day. This is the card I made:

I just got some some new dies from Trinity Stamps: Slimline Series: Scalloped and Slimline Series: Stitched. They are designed for making long, narrow cards.

I used the new dies and the cute bunny in the Stampin’ Up! Welcome Easter stamp set along with some other Stampin’ Up! favorites and made this 9″ x 4″ card.

I typed up the sentiment myself and cut it out with one of the Slimline Series dies. And I can’t seem to get enough of these punched small blooms in the Please as Punch Designer Series Paper.

It was really fun making a card this size!
