Flowers are blooming . . . okay, maybe not really, but you can build your own with the In Bloom Bundle.
Quick & Easy Projects
| Wishing you had lots of cards on hand for every occasion, but not sure where to start? Designing clean, simple projects is the quickest way to reach your goal. |
| If you want an even faster method for getting the job done—one that doesn’t involve coming up with your own card design—simply use one of the samples you see here as a basic template, substituting stamps, ink, and paper to suit your taste. When you follow the overall layout of the card, including image and sentiment placement, half of the work is done for you. At the end of your stamping session, you’ll have a stack of ready-to-send cards—finished in no time at all. |
| Easy techniques you can duplicate from our samples include, filling in the stamped images with Wink of Stella, creating fun backgrounds by stamping multiple images on a layer, and tone-on-tone stamping. To illustrate this final technique, we stamped the car image in Pool Party ink on Pool Party Cardstock to create a subtle background. (Tip: On the top layer, stamp the center tree first for even spacing.) |
| Whatever you do to create your simple cards, have a great time! And invite a friend over to stamp with you. The more stampers, the more fun! |
| Do you need an extra dose of inspiration? Don’t worry—it’s right at your fingertips. All you need is a catalog and a willingness to experiment. Start by flipping through the annual catalog and mini catalog, and pick a project that catches your attention. Then, CASE it (Copy And Share Everything)! |
| Here’s how it works: You choose one aspect of your chosen inspiration piece, and copy it on a new project. Then, use these CASEing steps to create three additional projects ranging from casual to avid crafting levels. |
| Copy the layout Copy the color scheme Copy the technique |
| Have fun CASEing! |
| What can you make with one pack of assorted cardstock and one ink pad? Just about anything! Multiple colors and dimensions make these projects fun and playful, without requiring much time. |
Are you in love with the new in colors? I have just the thing to get you started, monochromatic cards made using our freshest, most on-trend colors: Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, and Misty Moonlight. In fact, I think these cards might be a stamp-a-stack In Color party waiting to happen! In Colors are easy to fall in love with.
| For all of the cards above, we started with: |
| The Moving Along Stamp Set The same ink colors (Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Real Red, Smoky Slate, and Tuxedo Black Memento Ink) Smoky Slate Cardstock (8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″; 21.6 x 14 cm) Whisper White Cardstock (3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″; 9.5 x 9.5 cm) Neutrals 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper in Smoky Slate (3″ x 5″; 7.6 x 12.7 cm) |
| Helicopter Card No trimming needed! Stamp on the Whisper White Cardstock, use Stampin’ Seal to adhere the Designer Series Paper to the Smoky Slate card base, then attach the stamped cardstock using Stampin’ Dimensionals. |
| Car Card Cut the Whisper White Cardstock into four squares measuring 1-7/8″ x 1-7/8″ (4.8 x 4.8 cm) and stamp. Attach the Designer Series Paper to the Smoky Slate card base with Stampin’ Seal, then adhere the squares to the Designer Series Paper using Stampin’ Dimensionals. |
| Train Card Trim the Whisper White Cardstock into three strips measuring 3-3/4″ x 1-1/4″ (9.5 x 3.2 cm) and stamp. Attach the Designer Series Paper to the Smoky Slate cardstock with Stampin’ Seal, then adhere the stamped strips to the Designer Series Paper using Dimensionals. |
| What else could you do to make the most of your craft collection? |
The Annual Catalog from Stampin’ Up! offers this is a new type of punch! The Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. The single punch gives the option of 3 different sizes in 2 different styles for so many layering combinations. The Lovely Labels Pick a Punch coordinates perfectly with the Lovely You Stamp Set.
