Make a Sweet & Festive Cookie Jar Card

Oh my goodness! I just love this adorable jar full of gingerbread cookies.

I used the Forever Plaid embossing folder and DSP from the new Traditions of Christmas Suite that will be available to everyone in September. The main colors are Old Olive and Real Red. I think the red and white twine and peppermint embellishments go so well with this card.

The jar of cookies is from the Jar of Joy stamp set. It is stamped in black, Pecan Pie, and Real Red. The coordinating jar punch is available separately OR as a bundle with the Sweet Jar stamp set.

The Sweet Jar bundle is great for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, St. Patrick’s Day, and general friendship cards. I plan to put these two sets to good use!

Celebrate Back To School With This Cute Card

As I was making this card, I was thinking that it would be great for a teacher or student, but then I thought, This would be GREAT for a parent. Yep, many a parent is excited about sending the kids back to school! 😂

First, I made the card base with Azure Afternoon cardstock. I then cut the Poppy Parade layer at 4-1/2 x 3-1/2. I adhered this on an angle to the card base. To make the clipboard, I used Crumb Cake but to 4-1/4 x 3-1/4, then used a corner-rounder.

The note paper is made with Basic White. For the one with lines, I used Azure Afternoon ink, stamping off one time to get lighter lines. TIP: Don’t ink the lines stamp too heavily; it looks much better with a light touch. I stamped the sentiment in black.

Next, I used the dies to cut the note paper, paper clip, heart, star, and arrows. I used silver foil specialty paper to die cut the clip. Adhere the note paper to the crumb cake layer and glue it on the card. Then adhere all the cute elements.

For the inside, I stamped the bottom using the irregular star stamp.

This bundle is available as an Online Exclusive here.

You’ll Always Bee the One For Me Card

Today I bring you a super cute bee card using a folding technique with two-toned cardstock.

I started with thick white cardstock for the card base. I then took Pool Party two-toned cardstock and cut it to 5-1/4 x 4 inches. I used my Stampin’ Up! trimmer to score from one corner to 2 inches down on the opposite side and then folded it. This reveals the lighter side of the paper, which is a nice, subtle way to make that area “pop.” The fold exposes a piece of Bubble Bath two-toned cardstock showing the lighter side.

I used the Cute As Can Bee Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Meant To Bee bundle for the main parts of the card, as well as Petunia Pop iridescent ribbon, iridescent faceted gems, and a die from the Unbounded Love dies to cut the sentiment.

You can see a list of supplies on my Stampin’ Up! website. Click on “My Projects” and find this card.
