Nice Cuppa Designer Paper Cards

Guys, I am in love! With the Have A Cuppa Designer Series Paper Stack that is!

Seriously, aren’t these so cute?! This paper stack is probably one of my new faves, and you can find it on page 35 of the new 2016 Occasions Catalogue from Stampin’ Up!

I love it because all of the colours work really well together; they are so bright and cheery, and are a subtle reminder to me that Spring is, in fact, on it’s way!

Here’s a closer look at the cards with some detailed information.

Here’s To You:
This card measures 4″ x 5½”. Each designer paper is 1¼” x 5¼”. The white flag measures 1″ x 3″.

For embellishments, I used three of the Brights Candy Dots from Stampin’ Up! and a flower I already had on hand.

You Are Tea-riffic:
This card measures 4¼” x 5½”. Each designer paper is 1¼” x 5¼”. The white flag measures 1″ x 3″.

For embellishments, I used three of the Brights Candy Dots from Stampin’ Up! and then I made a tea bag from vellum paper and Blushing Bride Baker’s Twine (currently on clearance for only $1.59!).

You Are So Loved:
This super cute card (measuring 4¼” x 5½”, and now one of my favourites) was made using the Herringbone Technique. Believe it or not, this is my first card using this technique. Not too shabby if I do say so myself 🙂

Most of this card was made using leftover scrap pieces of paper; a good reason why I always save mine!

If you’re just hearing about this technique, then stay tuned! I hope to film my very first video tutorial on this technique soon!

Now that I’ve posted my first blog post, I thought I’d share a few recent projects I’ve completed before going head on into video tutorials, etc.

Making cards has become a passion of mine so I’m so thankful I get to share them with my audience. Let me know what you think by commenting below!

Birthday Florals
One of my favourite stamp sets from Sale-A-Bration is the What I Love photopolymer stamps. The florals are just so versatile that they can really be used for any card. For this particular card, I used the Island Indigo ink pad with matching paper, and the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Butterfly Basics Clear-Mount Stamp Set (my personal favourite birthday sentiment!). I then added some rhinestones and a touch of Wink of Stella to the flowers, and here we are!

The fold is also different from your standard card so I think it really make this one stand out. Birthday FINAL - Blog FEB02 Birthday 2 FINAL - Blog FEB02

So Loved
This is a great card for beginners. I used Whisper White cardstock, along with a patterned paper from our Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack that can be found on Page 17 in our 2016 Occasions catalogue. The floral stamp is from the For the New Two rubber stamp set in our 2015 – 2016 Annual catalogue and the sentiment stamp is from the Watercolour Wishes photopolymer stamp set. The ink colours used are Basic Black and Blushing Bride.

Butterfly Love
This card is also great for beginners, and it involves one of my favourite tools – the Big Shot! The cardstock used is Island Indigo and Whisper White (which is embossed using the Lovely Lace embossing folder). I also used matching ribbon and the Butterflies Thinlits.
