Stamp-N-Nuggets and We're Lovin' It!

June Box Cards or Card In A Box

Here's some Box Cards, also known as Card In A Box, that I made for June occasions. Have you ever made these? They are so much fun! As always, click on any image to see enlarged.

First up was a surprise birthday party for Craig A.

Here was for my big brother Bob!

One more for my sister-in-law who fixed a fantastic lunch while a couple of cuzzes from Arizona, Todd & Martie, stopped in for a short visit.

Most card makers will take the time to score, cut, and fold these cards. But I have dies for all 3 of the above sizes/shapes -- from The Stamps of Life and Anna Griffin. It is so much easier to simply lay your card stock on the dies and run it through your cutting machine! Comes out already scored and all you have to do is decorate! Join me at one of my "Play Days" to use these dies to create your own box card!

For every $50 spent in July, you get a $5 coupon to spend in August!

EXTRA! EXTRA! From July 1 until August 31, new demonstrators will receive an additional $30 put toward bonus products in their Starter Kit! Pay $99 and choose $155 worth of Stampin’ Up! products in your Starter Kit! You will receive a $10 coupon code the following month!

I found this Double Step Block Card Template on Facebook and just had to try it! I LOVE it!!! And since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, I decided to make this for Mikey. Hope he likes it! And it lays flat! The idea came from a video which shows easy-peasy directions thanks to Sam at Mixed Up Craft. Here is the link: https://youtu.be/_Y3WJXplX6Q Isn't it just stinkin' CUTE!?!?!

This card is a large card measuring 7-1/2 x 6 when flat. But have no fear... with our Stampin' Up! Envelope Punch Board, you can make an envelope in just minutes! All you need is a 10-3/4" square of designer series paper or card stock and slip it in the Envelope Punch Board at 4-7/8 for the first punch. Continue around the other 3 sides and Wha-la!!!

Blog Waddle... Horizontal Tunnel Card + MORE!

Hello My Stampers!

I SHARE MY PASSION FOR STAMPS, INK & PAPER WITH A SPECIAL FLOCK OF LADIES CALLED THE "STRAY DUCKLINGS". WHENEVER WE'RE TOGETHER, FEATHERS FLY BECAUSE OF ALL THE FUN WE HAVE!!

Welcome to Stray Ducklings monthly Blog Waddle! We are a group of Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrators and we want to share our cards made ... this month's theme is Technique/Fun Fold. For a complete list of our ducklings waddling, see below. You came from Sheryl Diemer's... next stop is Mary Heinzman's. Click on any picture below to enlarge.

 

Here's my selection using a Fun Fold -- Horizontal Tunnel Card. Most Tunnel cards are standing up the other way, whereas on this one, it is turned on its side. I love the different view, don't you? I am definitely not a colorer. So, although I did our swap with a Stampin' Blender Pen, I prefer doing the sky by using Soft Sky card stock. Here are my supplies:   . FOR A COMPLETE LISTING, SEE BELOW -- which you can print off by clicking on the link "Supply List" just below the pictures.

Here are some other fun Techniques/Fun Folds.

Shrinky-Dink Earrings... THANKS Kim B.!!!

And my last sample that my Cuzzes-Debbie & Joyce did for card club in March. LOVE how they added a flickering, battery mini-light to put behind the colored, vellum cross ... AND... they made their own envelope for this Tri-fold, Easel Card that folds to a 4 x 4-1/4... C@@L!!!

BLOG WADDLE... Hearts card-in-a-rectangle-box

Hello My Stampers!

Welcome to Stray Ducklings monthly Blog Waddle! We are a group of Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrators and we want to share our cards made ... this month's theme is love, valentine, wedding etc. For a complete list of our ducklings waddling, see below. You came from Sheryl Diemer's  ... next stop is Debbie Kramer's. Click on any picture to enlarge.

I chose this card in a box... rectangle style. It is really easy and fun to make.

You can also either stick down your sides with glue dots or pop them with dimensionals.

Here's one I made just recently for a special couple, Bud & Dot Bevard in Colorado, that just celebrated their 70TH ANNIVERSARY!!! Years ago, they lived on Swarts Street in Abingdon where there were LOTS of kids growing up and having fun making many, many FUNDERFUL memories. I used lots of retired stuff on this one.

IF YOU DON'T ADD THE HUGE HEARTS ON THE BACK, this card in a box will fold and fit in our 5-3/4 x 4-3/8 envelopes. But with our Envelope Punch Board & envelope paper, we can make envelopes in an instant!

DON'T FORGET... we are still enjoying the most FUNDERFUL time of the year! Now is when you select FREE product for every $50 spent (before tax & shipping). I LOVE Free! Don't you?

Speckled Easter Eggs Delight!

This post was taken from the Stampin' Up Blog -- March 9, 2016.

Did you know that Easter is very early this year? It’s on March 27! Here’s a quick and simple Easter card that you can make using a WOW technique with the Balloon Celebration Stamp Set (item 140675) and the Balloon Bouquet Punch (item 140609). After stamping the balloon shape, simply snip the balloon end-piece off and you have an egg shape!

Stamp the large balloon image in Crumb Cake (item 126975), Perfect Plum (item 126963),Pool Party (item 126982), and So Saffron (item 126957) on a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock (item 101650). (Stamp directly on the cardstock with Pool Party and So Saffron ink; stamp off the Crumb Cake and Perfect Plum balloon images.) Don’t forget to place yourStampin’ Pierce Mat (item 126199) beneath the cardstock to get a good, stamped image with your photopolymer stamps!

To create the first layer of speckle, stamp the splatter image from the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set (item 130517) in Early Espresso Classic ink (item 119789) across the wide half of the balloon image.

To create the next layer of speckle, use the Gold Wink of Stella Glitter Brush (item 141898). Squeeze the sides to push the ink into the barrel, then use your finger to tap hard on the brush. This will cause the ink to splatter across the cardstock.

Cut the stamped Very Vanilla Cardstock into strips so that you can slide them into the Balloon Bouquet Punch. Cut off the balloon end-piece. Now adhere the finished speckled eggs to a card using any simple Easter greeting.

Happy Easter!
