Celebrate Good Times Stampin' UP! Card Ideas

 

 Thanks for all your kind comments on my Happy Celebrations embossing folder cards and video a few weeks ago!   While Cindee and I made the cards in that video, we also made the cards shown below in this blog post.  These cards all feature Stampin' UP! In Colors - Did you know 5 In Colors are retiring soon!!??

We used Watermelon Wonder and Flirty Flamingo ink pads and cardstock on the celebrate good times card below.  It is tied off with some silver metallic ribbon from the Sale-a-Bration brochure. 

 

 

Want more info on how to make these FUN "debossed" cards?

Watch THIS VIDEO to see how to make these fun (and easy!) cards.

 

 

The card above featuring the In Color combo shown below: Sweet Sugarplum, Watermelon Wonder and Flirty Flamingo.  I think it's quite a fun combo! We also used a layer of Rich Razzleberry cardstock to really make the card pop!

Below:  If you know your Stampin' Up!

Color Fusers Blog Hop: February 2017

 

 

The Color Fusers Design Team is back with fun projects for you featuring the YUMMY Stampin' Up!  color combo shown above: Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Early Espresso and Peekaboo Peach.

I ended up using all 4 colors on the card in the center below, and used 3 of the 4 colors on the other 2 cards.  Each card features THREE (yes, count 'em 3!!) Sale a Bration stamp sets!! AND the delicious Sale-a-Bration metallic ribbon!! How did I manage to do that!? :)

 

 

Did you know you can select a free gift with purchase through March 31, 2017?  The 3 Sale a Bration stamp sets shown on these cards AND the beautiful metallic ribbon are 4 of the choices of free gifts!! 

CLICK HERE to read more about Sale a Bration.

 

 

This top fold card features all 4 of the Color Fuser colors this month.  In addition to stamping, I also sponged Peekaboo Peach around the edges of the Whisper White cardstock, and then mounted it onto Calypso Coral cardstock before putting it onto the top folded Bermuda Bay card. I also flicked some Clear Wink of Stella onto this card.. it's shimmery in person!

 

 

 

Below: 3 Sale a Bration 2017 stamp sets used on these cards:

Delicate Details (lace set), So Very Much (thank you set) and Avant Garden (floral set)

 

Each card has an image from the Delicate Details lace stamp set stamped in Peekaboo Peach about 2" up from the bottom of the Whisper White panel.  Then I stamped the flowers from Avant Garden in Watermelon Wonder ink, and then the Thank You from the So Very Much set in either Early Espresso or Bermuda Bay.  I think the Gold Metallic Sale a Bration ribbon is just the perfect finishing touch to these cards!!

I used the speckle stamp in the Avant Garden set and Peekaboo Peach ink to speckle some dots onto each card, then flicked some Gold Wink of Stella on each card to tie in with the Gold Metallic Sale a Bration ribbon.  I REALLY love this ribbon from the Sale a Bration brochure.. another free choice through March 31, 2017.

 

The cards above and below are similar, but I switched the layers of Peekaboo Peach and Calypso Coral because I couldn't decide which way I liked it best?  What do you think?

Cool Treats Ice Cream Cone cards

 

I had the best time playing with the Cool Treats Ice Cream Cone stamps and Frozen Treats Framelits!!!

You Guessed It... I couldn't decide on just one design or color scheme, so I had to make a bunch of cards with this happy color combo, using the Tasty Treats Designer Series paper pack as my inspiration!

 

 

I couldn't stop creating cute cards with this fabulous Cool Treats Suite of products found on pages 32 and 33 in the Occasions catalog, 2017.   These make great Birthday cards for family and friends of all ages, or, for any fun occasion!

Enjoy the money-saving bundle when you buy the stamp set and matching dies together!  #145181 here in my online store.

 

 

I cut cardstock in Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach and Daffodil Delight for the card bases, and created top fold cards, with 2 pieces of Tasty Treat designer paper on each one.   I also stamped greetings from the Cool Treats set on these cards.

You will find that several of the colors used today are Stampin' Up! In Colors.  Only 4 more months for the "outgoing" In Colors, so get them soon!  See them all here.

 

 

 I used these cardstock colors for the ice cream scoops:  Watermelon Wonder, Pool Party, Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla and Peekaboo Peach.  The chocolate fudge topping is Early Espresso.

The cones are die cut using Crumb Cake cardstock and sponged with Soft Suede ink for texture. 

The bowls are die cut with Chocolate Chip cardstock, and the spoons are die cut with the Silver Foil paper.

 

 

On the card above and below, I decided to highlight the cones on Stitched Shape framelit ovals and squares.  I think they highlight the ice cream in a fun way!!  I also used Flirty Flamingo ribbon and enamel shape stars on the card above and Flirty Flamingo ribbon on the card below.

 

 

Stampin' Tip:

I used Multipurpose glue to glue a scrap strip of paper behind the cone and then stacked the ice cream scoops onto it.  It really helped keep it all stable!

 

 

 

For fun colorful accents, I added some Tasty Treats washi tape to the card and the ice cream bowl. 

 

 

Do you have a favorite?  Although I love all the cute scoops I think I might be partial to the fun soft serve cones!!!  It makes me think of Foster's Freeze on warm summer days!

 

 

I started with top fold cards and 2 pieces of Designer Paper on each card.  They measure about 4x4 and 4" x 1-1/2"

 

Stampin' Up! Tasty Treats Specialty Designer Paper pack and color combo.  Find it on page 33 in the 2017 Occasions catalog, or HERE in my online store.

Happy Celebrations Card Video Tutorial

 

Create a debossed image of Celebrate or Happy with the new Celebrations Duo embossing folder 2-pack from Stampin' Up!  You can see these new embossing folders on page 40 in the 2017 Occasions catalog or, watch them in action in my free video tutorial below!!  Watch as I create these celebrate cards and some happy birthday cards!

 

My cards above also feature patterned paper from both the Succulent Garden designer series paper pack and the Party Animal Designer Series paper pack.

 

Watch my Free Video Tutorial Below!

 

 

If you are reading this in an email, please CLICK HERE to watch the video on YouTube.

 

 

These unique "debossing" embossing folders also have a wonderful coordinating stamp set called Happy Celebrations.  You can see it in my photo above.  My video above also shows you how to make the Happy birthday card shown here.  It's so amazing to stamp over the debossed images and watch the word appear!!

 

 

I created the celebrate cards to recognize the top sellers in my Luv 2 Stamp group, and will be sending those off with gifts for the top 15 in sales last month.  I hope their day is just perfect as the stamp says!!  I found that stamp in the Suite Sentiments stamp set on page 54 in the Occasions catalog. If you are looking for a great "all around" greeting set, that's your set!  I stamped it in Dapper Denim ink onto Whisper White cardstock and die cut it with the Stitched Shape framelit circle.  Adding some Dapper Denim star enamel embellishments was the perfect finishing touch.

 

 

When you watch my video above in this post, you'll see exactly how I created both stamped versions below.. with and without the embossing folder image!  I used Emerald Envy, Dapper Denim and Watermelon Wonder - all Stampin' Up! In Colors.

Big on Birthdays Stampin' UP! Card Set

 

Stampin' Up! is Big on Birthdays!  Why?  Because we all have one, and we should all be sending birthday cards to our family and friends!  In this day and age of "click and like" (that's what I call it) on Facebook, we need to remember that a hand-stamped card in the mail means the world to so many people!  I vow to be better at it this year!

 

 

 Today I am excited to share a set of birthday card ideas with you, featuring the Big on Birthdays stamp set.

You can find this lovely bold birthday stamp set on page 6 in the 2017 Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog.  I paired it with the fun "Inside the Lines" designer paper, which is one of your choices of a FREE gift with your $50 purchase during Sale a Bration.

I have used several of the Stampin' Up! In Colors on these projects (those are the limited-time colors .. see them HERE).  I used Watermelon Wonder, Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo, Cucumber Crush and Emerald Envy from the In Color palette.

 

 

ABOVE: although the paper is Whisper White, I used a piece of the 1/4" Very Vanilla satin ribbon on this card.. it is a nice soft contrast to the bold colors.

I created both side-fold cards and top-fold cards, both with 4-1/4" x 11" cardstock, folded in 1/2.

I stamped the images in Archival Black ink on a 4" x 4-1/4" piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock, and mounted that to the folded card, then added a strip of the Inside the Lines paper and a coordinating ribbon to each one.

Watch my VIDEO about these cards and Inside the Lines paper HERE!

 

The card above also features a piece of the white and silver 3/8" metallic ribbon from Sale a Bration.  See it on page 11 in the Sale a Bration 2017 brochure or HERE in my video review.

Each card features a strip of the paper called Inside the Lines.  It's a FREE selection during Sale a Bration 2017.  It's all black and white and you color it in.. or, as you can see at the bottom of this post, you can also leave it black and white.  What's your preference?

 

 

ABOVE: I left the Inside the Lines paper uncolored on this one.. I just let the Flirty Flamingo cardstock and ribbon do the talking .. I also colored the flowers on the stamped image with Flirty Flamingo and Emerald Envy markers.

 

 ABOVE: it may be hard to see in the photo but I also added In Color Enamel dots to some of the flower centers.

 

 

ABOVE:  on this set of cards I left the "Inside the Lines" paper and stamped images uncolored.  Just thought I'd see how I liked it.. but, since I like them colored... :)  I had to color them in!

 

 

You have lots of options when coloring this amazing "Inside the Lines" designer paper from Sale a Bration.  I used Stampin' Write markers, the new Stampin' UP! Watercolor Pencils and my Blender Pens.   You can also use AquaPainters, spritzers, sponges, or your favorite coloring medium.

Color Fusers Blog Hop IS BACK! January 2017

 

After a little winter break, the amazing Color Fusers Design Team is BACK!!

We are excited to bring you a fun line up of projects today, all featuring this amazing, fresh Stampin' Up! color combo of Crushed Curry, Tangerine Tango, Sweet Sugarplum and Very Vanilla!

 

 

 

 

I was in a watercoloring mood, so I created the background of this top fold card with Stampin' Up! watercolor paper, reinkers and my AquaPainter.  The folded card is a Stampin' Up! In Color: Sweet Sugarplum.

I wet the watercolor paper, turned it over and wet the other side, then added color from the drops of reinker using my AquaPainter.  By wetting both sides, the paper doesn't curl :)

I let the colors bleed together and enjoyed the results!

Note: Sweet Sugarplum on watercolor paper (it's a vanilla color) is brown-ish compared to putting it on white.. but it's still pretty!

 

I stamped the Hello stamp from the Vertical Garden set (new in the 2017 Occasions catalog, page 22, #142996) in Sweet Sugarplum on Very Vanilla cardstock.  It's a 2 step stamp, so it gives you that shadow effect!

 

Here is a fun crafting tip for you ... after cutting the pieces of Stampin' Up! watercolor paper for my cards, I ended up with strips left over.  I dabbed on some water and some color and then die cut the flowers using up the scraps!!  How great is that!?

 

 

I added the die cut flowers from the Succulent framelits set (pg 21 in the Occasions catalog, #142757) with glue dots to my card and topped off each one with the gold Metallic Enamel shape.

 

A piece of gold 1/4" Natural trim ribbon finished off the card.

Detailed Dragonfly Thinlit Watercolor Card Sneak Peek

 

Do you have a favorite bundle in the new upcoming 2017 Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog!? 

I think this Detailed Dragonfly bundle might be a runaway winner ... It is going to be hugely popular, I'm sure!

 

 

The Dragonfly cards I'm sharing today all feature watercolor backgrounds, and the Detailed Dragonfly thinlits die cuts, as well as greetings stamped from the Dragonfly Dreams stamp sets, created by Cindee, Lisa and Patty (that's me!). :)  

 

We have a MINI BLOG HOP for you today.. please be sure to visit Cindee and Lisa's blogs today (links at the bottom of this post).

All of these supplies are available through my Stampin' Up! store (here), but PLEASE NOTE, all 2017 Occasions catalog products are available AFTER 1/4/17!

 

We created these together one day after seeing Stampin' Up! Co-founder, Shelli Gardner demonstrate this technique idea at  a recent Stampin' Up! OnStage event.  She used the new Watercolor Pencils for the background.  We used the watercolor pencils on 3 of the cards above and used a different watercolor background technique on the other 3 cards.

 

 I mounted my watercolor paper onto a top fold Peekaboo Peach card, and then tied the new Sweet Sugarplum 3/8" ribbon around the card.   Even though this card is striking and somewhat bold, it's also very soft and soothing!  The die cut dragonfly piece is adhered with about 5 glue dots.  Really easy to attach to the card!   I speckled the card by flicking some Gold Wink of Stella onto the finished card.

Today I'm sharing the watercolor pencil background technique with you and will share the other background technique with you soon!

 

 

As you can see by the "how to" watercolor background tutorial above, it's really pretty easy.   Color the watercolor pencils onto your watercolor paper, wash over the color with an AquaPainter or wet paint brush and let dry!!! wow!!!

 

 

You can really see the pretty Gold Wink of Stella dots on this photo above.. such a neat addition to most any card!

When the card is totally dry, stamp the greeting using the Stampin' Up! Basic Black Archival ink pad.

Bunch of Blossoms Flower Card

 

Building flowers with the Bunch of Blossoms flower stamp set from Stampin' Up! is great fun!!

You can create any size flowers you wish with any number of petals!

 

 

The Bunch of Blossoms stamp set (page 69 in the Stampin' UP! catalog or #141573 online), has 2 different size blossom petals, and 2 different sizes of leaves, plus flower centers, greetings and a stem.  It's a set of 26 stamps!!! 

The Blossom Builder punch also coordinates with this stamp set, although on this card, I stamped on the Whisper White cardstock for the flower images and only used the punch for the centers.

Save 10% when you order the stamp set and punch as a bundle!!  #142345 in my online store.

 

 

Cindee and I stamped this card together and used the In Color combo of Peekabook Peach, Sweet Sugarplum and Emerald Envy, then added Early Espresso as the neutral color.

 

After stamping the flowers with Peekaboo Peach and Sweet Sugarplum ink, I masked them with a post it note and then stamped the leaves in Emerald Envy ink.

 

 

The flower centers are punched with the Blossom builder punch.  The 5 pointed centers are punched from Early Espresso cardstock and the little centers are stamped and punched out.

 

The greeting is from the gorgeous Thoughtful Branches stamp set, and the speckles are from Gorgeous Grunge found on page 123. 

Layers of Early Espresso, Peekaboo Peach and Sweet Sugarplum cardstock complete this eye-catching card.

Color Fusers Blog Hop: July 2016 - Part 2

 

 Welcome to part 2 of the July Color Fusers Design Team Blog Hop, featuring 3 wonderful Stampin' Up! In Colors: Cucumber Crush, Flirty Flamingo and Peekaboo Peach!  We are so glad you have joined us on this blog hop and hope you enjoy all of the cards and projects we have to share with you!  Please be sure to click on all of the links at the bottom of this post to visit all of the wonderful Stampin' UP! blogs!

 

 

I am featuring a brand new bundle from Stampin' Up! that will be available to customers on August 2, 2016, called Thoughtful Branches.  The bundle features a 20+  piece stamp set and 9 dies in the framelit set!  This will be a limited time offer set in August, starting Aug. 2nd while supplies last.. so be sure to add this to your August shopping list! :)  Click to download a .pdf showing this great bundle!  Download Thoughtfulbranches-bundle-stampin-up-pattystamps

 I created a hydrangea image with my Thoughtful Branches set, but you can also create a tree, pine trees, apple trees, and so many more amazing projects with this bundle!

 

 

How to Make a Window Front Card:

I wanted to create a different style card, so I decided to cut an opening in my card front using the Project Life by Stampin' UP! Cards & Labels framelit set. 

• Start with a 4-1/4 x 11" top fold card
• Position the rectangle die in the front panel of the card, put it through the Big Shot to die cut the opening
• Add a piece of Window Sheet, approx. 4" x 5-1/4".  I used Fast Fuse and the adhesive barely shows! yay!
• Use the rectangle cut out to die cut the Peekaboo Peach flower piece to conserve cardstock
• Add a contrasting piece of designer paper inside the card so that you have a fun pattern showing through the window

 

 

On my Window Front Card, I used Cucumber Crush cardstock to die cut the stem/leaves from the Thoughtful Branches framelits set, and then cut the flower portion in both Flirty Flamingo and Peekaboo Peach and layered them together. 

I also stamped the leaf image on the Peekaboo Peach with Peekaboo Peach ink, then used my Wink of Stella to add glimmer to the top flower layer! So pretty!

 

 

 I could tell there were several Thoughtful Branches greeting images that would fit in the label from the Project Life Cards & Labels framelit set.. here is a tip to check to see if your image will fit!

 

 

One last tip for you .. when adding intricate die cut pieces to your projects, use either the Fine-Tip glue pen or the Multipurpose glue sparingly!

 

 

Thank you for stopping by my PattyStamps blog today! I hope you enjoyed this fun color combo!  Please visit the other Color Fuse Blog Hop team members listed below for more color inspiration!

Gate Fold Flamingo Card

 

How about a little Pop of Paradise and a Flirty Flamingo today!?  I created a Gate Fold Card to share with you today featuring the Stampin' UP! Pop of Paradise stamp set and a new In Color: Flirty Flamingo.  What's better for a flamingo than the color Flirty Flamingo!?  :)

 

 

My 3 secret weapons on this fun card today are:

• Use the Clear Wink of Stella on the flamingo and on some of the leaves for a pop of shimmer
• Use the new Duet Banner punch and Thoughtful Greetings set for the greeting
• Combine these In Colors:  Flirty Flamingo, Cucumber Crush, Emerald Envy and Watermelon Wonder

 

If you need any of these supplies, Online Shopping is easy! Just click any of the product photos at the bottom of this post to go to my Online Store!  Thank you!

 

 

For the 2 side pieces, I randomly stamped the tropical leaves in Cucumber Crush and Emerald Envy onto the 2 strips of Whisper White cardstock (about 1-7/8" x 5-1/4") , and filled in with the 3 flowers from Perfectly Wrapped stamp set stamped in Flirty Flamingo. 

 

If you have not made a Gate Fold Card yet, be sure to CLICK HERE to see my previous blog post with cutting and scoring dimensions for creating one!  Very simple, and really fun!

Color Fusers Blog Hop: July 2016 - Part 1

I am IN LOVE with this fun fresh Stampin' Up! color combo!!  And I am delighted to have been asked to participate in a blog hop today with the Color Fusers Blog Hop Team!!

Each of us is sharing a project today using Cucumber Crush, Flirty Flamingo and Peekaboo Peach!  All 3 are In Colors from Stampin' UP! .. We've had Cucumber Crush for a year already and the other 2 are new.  See them on page 169 in your new Stampin' Up! catalog.

 

 

I started with a Stampin' UP! Thick Whisper White Note Card, and added layers of 2016-2018 In Color Designer paper in Peekaboo Peach and Flirty Flamingo.  I also added some Peekaboo Peach cardstock.  On top of the strips, I added some die cut Flirty Flamingo and Peekaboo Peach Swirly Scribbles die cuts.

For Cucumber Crush, I stamped and cut out the leaves from Swirly Bird and stamped love you from the Baby Bear stamp set.

 

 

To embellish my Swirly Scribbles "wreath" I added stamped and punched 1/2" swirls and some leaves from the Swirly Bird stamp set.

You will find this great stamp set on page 152 in our new catalog and the Swirly Scribbles dies on pg 194. 

 

Money Saving Bundle!

Buy the stamp set and framelit dies together in a BUNDLE at a 10% discount.. see that HERE in my online store.

 

 

The thing I love most about stamping and crafting is using color!!  I love all sorts of different color combos.  If you struggle with color or if you enjoy color, I know you will enjoy our blog hops on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month!

 

Thank you for stopping by my PattyStamps blog today! I hope you enjoyed this fun color combo!  Please visit the other Color Fuse Blog Hop team members listed below for more color inspiration!

Father's Day Painter's Palette Cards

 

I made fun Father's Day Cards for my dad and my hubby using the Stampin' UP! Painter's Palette stamp set!!  As some of you know, my daddy is an amazing artist, so I knew he'd love this idea!!  I cut out the center of the artist's easel and added photos to the cards!

 

 

The card on the left is for my daddy, and on the right for my hubby.  Isn't that a cutie photo of our little Jason about 24 years ago!?  :)  eeks, I could just kiss those little cheeks!!

 

Below are the stamp images in the Painter's Palette stamp set, and the Layering Square framlelit dies that nicely cut out the center of the easel area.  Find the Painter's Palette stamp set on page 119 of the new 2016 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog, and the square framelits in pg 193.

See the Painter's Palette stamp set here online

See the Layering Squares framelit dies here online

 

I printed a few photos and then decided which ones to use.  I cut them out with the square framlits since it was really easy to see which portion of the photo I wanted to use that way.

 

BELOW: Isn't that a cute saying: Love you, Papa Bear, day after day, year after year!  I combined stamps from 2 sets to create that saying on my punched out banner.  I used the Bear Hugs stamp set (pg 107 in the 2016 annual Stampin' UP! catalog) and the In the Meadow stamp set (pg 129 annual catalog).

 

 

Make a pocket for a gift card!!  just add adhesive around 3 sides of a piece of cardstock or paper and it will create a pocket!

 

 

The Happy Father's Day greeting was from my May Paper Pumpkin kit. 

My color combo was Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler and Dapper Denim.  Speaking of Curry... go Warriors tonight! :)

 

Below.. this was a photo taken of my daddy and I a week ago .. he had just painted a new painting for me of the Hotel del Coronado.. I love it!! I get to pick it up in August when I am there again!!

 

 Below is part of his studio and a few of his paintings..  we are so blessed to have a few dozen of them in our home.. now I just need a bigger home with more walls! :)

 

Happy Father's Day Dad, and to my hubby, Eric!!  I am so thankful for both of you!!
