Crazy About You

I am impressed with the versatility of the Crazy About You stamp set and the Hello You thinlit dies. When it was time to make a card for today's SSINKpiration blog post, I was not sure where to start. I narrowed my options down to a birthday card and broke into the Cherry on Top 8x8 Paper Pad.

Tip: I love finding craft supplies that give me a lot of "bang for my buck" since I have a limited craft budget. I like the value of the new Envelope Paper. I used the In Color paper to die cut the word for this card, and it is also great for layering on cards. The Whisper White baker's twine is another versatile supply for a great price.

Supplies Used:
Crazy About You bundle
Big Shot
Cherry on Top 8x8 paper pack
In Color Envelope Paper
Whisper White card stock
Watermelon Wonder Dotted Lace trim
Whisper White baker's twine
Cucumber Crush ink pad
Regals candy dots

Product Focus: Embossing Folders

Happy Friday! Welcome to my first card for Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration. Embossing folders are one of my favorite products from Stampin' Up! since they can add great texture to your cards and projects. For today's card I used three embossing folders: Brick Wall, Decorative Dots, and Lucky Stars.

Tip: Keep a scrap basket. I knew that I wanted to use the Brick Wall folder to emboss Whisper White card stock, but I did know which other colors to use for the card. I went to my scrap basket where I found Real Red, Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey, and Soft Sky card stock. I find it helpful to keep my scraps, but I do clear out extras every couple of months.

Supplies Used:
Big Shot
Brick Wall, Decorative Dots, and Lucky Stars Embossing Folders
Banners Framelits Dies
Amazing Birthday and Crazy About You Stamp Sets
Hello Honey and Lost Lagoon Inks
Whisper White, Real Red, Lost Lagoon, Soft Sky, and Hello Honey Card Stock
Whisper White Baker's Twine
1 Inch Circle and Banner Punches

Father's Day

I hope they everyone had an enjoyable Father's Day! I made yummy blueberry waffles for breakfast, FaceTimed with my parents, and went out to dinner with my husband and son.

Earlier in the week, I mailed out Father's Day cards. I paired the Hello You Thinlits Dies with the Crazy About You stamp set for the cards. These continue to be be some of my favorite products. With just the stamp set alone you can create at least a dozen different kinds of cards!

Tips: This stamp set works great with ink pads or the brush tip on the Stampin' Write markers. For the clear mount and photopolymer versions of the stamp set, you will need clear blocks d, g, & h.
