Simply Sparkling Extra Bubbly Card

 Hello! Today's card is one of Stampin' Up!'s Online Exclusives called Simply Sparkling. It's a fun one for sure. You can make cans of Coke with this set! My card is a bright, happy card made in Granny Apple Green for your extra bubbly friend. 


We made this card in a card class before the new catalog came out so it uses a retired designer series paper but it is easy enough to substitute the current Brights DSP. The 'soda can' is stamped in Flirty Flamingo on Flirty Flamingo cardstock. Did you notice the shiny silver top and bottom? There is a die for that! One die cuts all three pieces. My tip: mount your piece of Silver paper on a piece of our adhesive sheet and it will be easier to stick together!


This card is perfect for just about anyone. Don't you agree?

Cutting Instructions:
Card Base: 4 1/4 x 11", scored at 5 1/2"
Designer Series Paper: 4 1/4" x 2"
Basic White: Piece for both labels on front and 4" x 5 1/4" for inside liner
Piece of Flirty Flamingo to stamp and die cut can
Silver paper to die cut top

Thanks for stopping by! 

Happy stampin'

A Coffee Themed Card Today

 Hello!

Yikes it has been two weeks since you last heard from me. Time sure does fly sometimes. I have been helping my daughter a lot and haven't been home. But I am home now and have a video and card for you.

Today's card features the Little Latte suite of products. If you know me, you know I love coffee. This suite collection was  must have for me!


That designer series paper is so much fun. For my card today, I die cut out the coffee cups on that sheet that is shown in the picture. The cup and some designs for the top of the coffee are in the stamp set but I thought I'd save my stampers time and use what Stampin' Up! has done for us.


I won't hold you in suspense any longer-here is the card. I have a list of supplies I used for this card at the bottom of this post. The DSP is out of stock until June 3, 2024 but everything else is available. Those swirl dots are the perfect touch. They aren't shiny but add a small detail. I used the Thoughtful Expressions dies to die cut the labels and layered them.


Have ever spilled your coffee and made spots like these on the DSP? The ribbon is actually part of the Meandering Meadows collection but the stripe is Pecan Pie which is the color I used for the coffee spots. That little pop of Pool Party peaking out from under the front of the card is really pretty in person plus the Calypso Coral piece of the DSP. Can you see the coffee beans on that layer? And then there's the coffee cup with the pretty design on the top of the coffee. How do they do that? 

Here's a better view of A Little Latte Designer Series Paper. Take a look but remember it is out of stock until June 3. Look at those swirls and spills. Plus the coffee cups have die cuts!


Here is the VIDEO I did making this card.




Cutting Instructions:
Card Base: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score at 4 1/4" This is a landscape card. Cut 3/4" off the front edge
Designer Series Paper: 4" x 5 1/4", cut 3/4" off the front edge to put on the inside edge
Basic White: piece to die cut label and inside liner
