Bear Hug Birthday

While hanging out with my Stampin' Up! demonstrator peeps I was introduced to this cute little bear!  We were all in the partying mood and created a card with the Bear Hugs stamp set and thinlits, Party Pants and Balloon Celebration stamp sets, and the Bouquet Punch.  That's not all that makes this card super cute.  Check out the simple fold, it's just the white piece that flips up! 

There is one more week to get your own Party Pants stamp set FREE with a order of $50 in product!  Place your order today so you don't miss out!  www.kris.stampinup.net

Helping Me Grow

There's nothing better then getting together with a good friend and creating together.  Just like matching two stamps sets together to compliment  each other, that's what Timeless Textures and Helping Me Grow do together.  We used aqua painters to create the shading on the flowers and Tip Top Taupe with Timeless Textures and a sponge to soften the look of the card.  What are some of your favorite combinations?  

Free Paper Pumpkin Stamp!

March is a big month for Paper Pumpkin–it's our third birthday and we just shipped our ONE MILLIONTH kit! To celebrate, we are sending an exclusive stamp set called All about Everything in ALL of the April Paper Pumpkin kits. We’re keeping the artwork a surprise, but we are sure you’ll love EVERYTHING about it! Sign up by April 10 to get in on the fun.

Supplies

Cardstock  5" x 5 1/2"   Score on the short side at 1/2", 1 1/2", 2 3/4", 3 3/4" and 5".  Score on the long side at 1" and 4 1/2"

14" of coordinating ribbon

The Washi Label Punch or the banner thinilit from the treat bag thinlits.

Stampin' Up! clear window sheets cut at 1" x3"

Cut off the little tabs from the 1/2" score line.  Then cut to the 1" line on all the ends.  These will be folded in to close the ends of the box.

Use your bone folder to crease the fold lines.  Use the snail adhesive to secure the designer paper.  Now you are ready to cut the window using either the Washi label punch or the banner thinilit from the treat bag thinlits (shown)

Use fast Fuse to seal the long sides together.  Close and fast fuse one end and fill with your favorite candy.  If some of the candy spills out onto your work space feel free to sample it! ; )

I use the ribbon to hole the top end together so the recipient can easily get to the candy.

Easter Lamb

I Love Ewe!  I also love this sweet little lamb!  I made this card with my friend in her studio and can't wait to make others in mine.  I plan on using it to make some baby shower cards.  Did you notice the glimmer tape?  Don't wait to get yours.  It will be GONE by the end of the month.  How about the Happy Heart Embossing Folder?   The detail around the punched out scallop was done with the Stampin' Up! pierce Mat and tool!  It is an easy and simple way to add detail.  Get your tools and start creating with me at www.kris.stampinup.net

50th Birthday Card

You are One Hot Tamale!  A good friend of mine challenged me to make a card for her friend that was turning the big 50.  She wanted it to go along with her clever idea for a gift, a jar of hot tamales!  This is what I came up with!  I used part of the curvy box to make the jar and then used one of the balloons from the Balloon Builders stamp set that looks like a tamale.  The Gold Glimmer paper was prefect and so easy to use to create the number 50 with the Large Number Framelits.  So as 50 approaches some one you know, make them this card to tell them how "HOT" they still are!

Pedal Pusher

Spring is in the air and it's time to bring those bike's out.  Ok maybe after the sand is swept up off the streets.  Until then you can create with this little gem, Pedal Pusher.  You won't want to miss getting yours FREE (I placed my order)!    The set has many images to fill the cute little basket with!  I fell in love with is set as soon I  use the itty bitty punch to cover up the little oopss I made at the top!  This card was designed by my friend.  I can't wait to get my set, next Monday,  and start creating.

Balloon Party

Happy Birthday to You!  Yes, I have been creating a lot of birthday cards lately.  To create this bold, bright,  balloon filled beauty (Yes, I'm a first grade teacher - ha), I used the Balloon Bouquet Punch, my favorite brights card stock scraps, It's My Party designer series paper, washi, and enamel dots, white baker's twine (it was putzy to tie that around each balloon, but sooo worth it, don't you think?), and the Happy Birthday from the Number of Years set.

 I have my end of March and April cards made and ready to mail.  Just think, if you got as many cards in the mail or in person as you do posts on Facebook or texts!  WOW!  You sure would know how many people cared about you. 

 So friends, like Stampin' Up! has encouraged demonstrators, I'm encouraging you to #imbringingbirthdaysback! 

Cupcake Builder

This card has birthdays all wrapped up with the coordinating colors in the It's My Birthday Designer Series Paper and the Cupcake Builder!  There is so much variety and versatility in this paper stack. This easy to make card used up my little scraps all tied up with the Baker's Twine combo pack twine that compliment the paper. I love how the cupcake is accented with the little banners.   Check out all the amazing birthday stamps,  punches, papers, and accents in the 2016 Occasions Catalog!  Don't have one yet?  Contact me today! www.kris.stampinup.net

Ice Cream Cone Happiness

In honor of all of those up coming summer birthdays, I made this yummy card.  I love how the colors of the ice cream coordinates with the It's My Party designer series paper ($26) 12"x12" with 48 sheets, 4 each of 12 double sided designs and The Curvy Corner Trio Punch is three punches in one ($20) cuts two corner designs and a ribbon slide for tons of tag options. Add some It's My Party enamel dots ($4) and the Honeycomb Happiness stamp set it FREE!!  Contact me before March 31 for yours!  www.kris.stampinup.net

Balloon Bouquet Punch

I have a very special kiddo in my life that will be turning 5 next month.  I made this card for my Great Nephew, Henry.  I am so in love with this kid and the Number of Years Stamp set and Large Numbers Framelit Bundle (I saved %15 and you can do by bundling it).  To add to the "POP" of this card I used the Balloon Celebration Set and Ballon Bouquet Punch to help Henry Celebrate!  The designer series paper, It's My Party added to the detail of his card.  If you have any birthday babies in your future you have to get these products and make a card or two of your own!  Contact me to get what you need: www.kris.stampinup.net
