Encouragement Card

churiejohnson

I made this cute card to encourage someone. I created the coffee cup using the Stampin’ Up ice cream cone die in the Ice Cream Swirl die set… yes, you read that correctly. 🙂 I used several Stampin’ Up die sets to make the card: Perennial Postage dies, Ice Cream Swirl dies, and Give it a Whirl dies. The sentiment, “Sometimes you just have to reheat your coffee one more time and try again,” is a part of the Stampin’ Up Coffee With Friends stamp set. To give this card some dimension, I raised the Crumb cake up using the Stampin’ Up Foam Adhesive Sheets.

The color combination I used for this card is the following:

The card measurements:

Card base: 11″ x 4.25″ (scored at 5.5″)

Crumb Cake layer: 5″ x 3.5″

Moody Mauve layer: Perennial Postage Dies

Soft Sea Foam Designer Series Paper: 4″ x 2.75″

I just love this sentiment in the inside of this card, “You’ve got this,”. Sometimes people just need a little bit of encouragement.

Inside card measurements:

Moody Mauve layer: 5.25″ x 4″

White layer: Perennial Postage Dies

Love You Card

churiejohnson

I am not sure about you, but when I saw the Stampin’ Up Ice Cream Swirl bundle in the January – April 2024 Mini Catalog it had fun written all over it. Right now the weather is still on the cold/cool side and ice cream has not really been on my mind… but a cup of hot, delicious coffee sounds amazing. 🙂 With that being said, I found a way to create a cup of coffee using the Stampin’ Up Ice Cream Swirl dies. I used the ice cream cone die to die cut the shape from a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and Basic White cardstock. Next, I cut the Crumb Cake cone just above where the rim starts (base of the cup). Then I cut the white piece of the cup from the Basic White cone and layered it on top of the Crumb Cake cone. To make the white top of the lid, I cut a Basic White piece of cardstock .25″ x 1.5″ and adhered it to the back of the white lid. To add some pizzaz to the cup, I used the coffee sleeve die to die cut a white sleeve and then I embossed the coffee sleeve with the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. The sleeve will hang over the side of the cup, but after adhering it to the coffee cup you can cut the excess off using a pair of scissors. Lastly, I added a stitched Real Red heart to the sleeve. The heart was die cut using one of the dies included in the Give it a Whirl die set.

Color Combination:

I thought it would be real cute to add a gift card pocket to the inside of the card. What a perfect gift… a gift card to the person’s favorite coffee place. 🙂

Today I wanted to have some fun with the Stampin’ Up Trusty Toolbox 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (DSP) which is a product you can earn with a qualifying purchase during Sale-A-Bration.

The white square postage stamp layer was die cut using the Perennial Postage dies. The measuring tape was die cut from the Trusty Toolbox DSP using the Trusty Tools Dies. Next, the sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set was stamped in Lost Lagoon on a 1″ x 3.25″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Lastly, I used the heart die from the Give it a Whirl die set to die cut the heart out of Poppy Parade cardstock.

For the inside of the card I wanted to add a special touch. The Crushed Curry layer is 5″ x 3.75″. The white layer was die cut using the Perennial Postage dies. The Poppy Parade heart was die cut using the Give it a Whirl days.

Life is Sweet Card

Today I paired the Sweetest Cherries stamp set and Cherry Builder punch with the Sunny Days Designer Series Paper (DSP) which is a Stampin’ Up Sale-A-Bration item you can earn with a qualifying Stampin’ Up purchase.

To create this card, I stamped the sentiment from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set on Basic White cardstock and then fussy cut them using scissors. Next, I die cut one Shaded Spruce circle and one Basic White circle using the Stylish Shape dies. On the Basic White circle I stamped the cherry image in Poppy Parade ink, the stem in Black ink, and the leaves in Shaded Spruce. I wanted to give my card some dimension so I decided to stamp and punch out another cherry using the same colors as before and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere it to the card.
