A Nice Cuppa Tea Bag Holder Again

It was time to make another tea bag box holder for a friend who is convalescing in a nursing home after breaking her leg.  I wanted to take her something I made, so created this one using Wisteria Wonder card stock and using the Have a Cuppa DSP Paper Stack.  My friend was thrilled to receive this and I'm hoping she will recover soon.  She says she'll be there for a month!  I made the same style box on February 16, just different colors.

Starfish at the Beach

This is another card I made today using the Picture Perfect stamp set using the starfish, and I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set for the ocean.

  • The base of my card is Marina Mist card stock cut at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4" in the middle.
  • I cut another piece of Marina Mist at 5-1/2" and about 3" and tore the bottom edge.  I stamped it with Gorgeous Grunge stamp with Marina Mist ink to represent the ocean.  I sponged the torn edge with Marina Mist ink.
  • I cut a piece of Crumb Cake at 5-1/2" about about 3" and tore the bottom edge and sponged it with Crumb Cake.  I also sponged the card stock lightly to represent the sand at the beach.
  • I stamped "You are just the Nicest" in Marina Mist ink on the Crumb Cake.
  • I wrapped Very Vanilla Thick Baker's Twine around the "ocean" area.  Then I layered both pieces on the front of the card
  • I stamped the starfish with Crumb Cake on Crumb Cake cardstock.  I 2-step stamped over the first image with Hello Honey.  I inked up the edges with Soft Suede marker.  I used an Versamarker on the starfish and sprinkled it with Clear Embossing Powder and used the Heat Tool to make it shiny.  I adhered it to the card with Dimensionals.

Sandpipers on the Beach

This is a card I made this morning but it was inspired by Michelle Zindorf's tutorial.  The sets are Picture Perfect using the starfish and Wetlands using the sandpipers.   I used Tempting Turquoise for the base and Chocolate Chip for the second layer. The colors of ink I used were Archival Basic Black for the birds, Tempting Turquoise for the sky,  Crumb Cake for the Beach and Crumb cake and Soft Suede for the starfish.  I cut the starfish out and attached it with Dimensionals. I tore the Crumb Cake cardstock and sponged it to make it look like sand.

Happy Easter Bunny


This is another Easter card that I made.  Just love that little bunny from the Friends & Flowers stamp set in the 2016 Occasions catalog.  I also used the stamp "Happy Easter" from the Easter Lamb set #140740 that is also in the catalog. My card was inspired by B.J, Peters

  • The base of my card is Blushing Bride cut at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4" in the middle.
  • The second layer is from the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack cut at 4-1/4" x 3" and attached to the bottom of the card.
  • Next, I used the 2" Circle Punch to create a hole in the lower right side of the card punching through the card and DSP.
  • I stamped the bunny twice and four ears on Whisper White cardstock using Archival Basic Black ink.  I punched his face out with the 1-3/8" Circle Punch and the Festive Flower Builder Punch for his ears. I colored in the ears with the Blushing Bride marker and gave him rosy cheeks.  I attached his ear with Glue Dots and put the first bunny on the front of the card.  I opened it up inside and attached the second bunny with Snail Adhesive.
  • I stamped "Wishing you all the beautiful blessings of Easter" from the Suite Sayings stamp set.
  • For the flowers on the front, I used the flower punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack on Whisper White cardstock. I used the 1/4" Handheld Circle Punch for the center of the flowers using Blushing Bride and then attached them with Glue Dots.

Work of Art Easter Egg

I't almost that time of year.  Easter is early this year, so I started researching ideas for my cards.
This idea came from Janet Holmes which I found on Sudsol which a website for Stampin' Up! demos.  I used the stamp sets Work of Art and Easter Lamb.

  • The base of my card is Daffodil Delight cut at 4-1/4" x 11" and folded in the middle.
  • The second layer is Whisper White card stock cut 4" x 5-1/4" and I used the Oval Collection Framelit to die cut an oval in the center.  I stamped "Happy Easter" from the East Lamb set at the bottom with Marina Mist.
  • Underneath my second layer is another piece of Whisper White card stock cut at 3-3/4" x 5" and I started stamping it with the Works of Art stamp image and Pumpkin Ink.  I cleaned off my stamp, and then used Marina Mist.
  • Then Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz and Pumpkin Pie again cleaning my stamp between colors.  Attach to the back of the Whisper White die cut to create the Easter egg.
  • I used the Itty Bitty Punch Pack using the flower punch to create 4 flowers with colors used in the egg.  I attached with Glue Dots over the Daffodil ink image.  Then I attached Basic Jewel Rhinestone to each flower.
  • I added a yellow bow with the 1/4" Daffodil Delight Cotton Ribbon.
