Welcome to the Pals’ February blog hop. We’re so glad you’re here because it’s “Time to Sale-A-Brate”! Our Design Team created projects using Sale-A-Bration items to inspire you. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
For my card I chose to use the Hello Cupcake stamp set. The card base Coastal Cabana CS – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. I stamped the sprinkles diagonally across the card front in Coastal Cabana ink. The cupcake was stamped onto a piece of Whisper White CS 2-1/2″ x 4-1/4. The base is stamped in Soft Suede ink and the Frosting is stamping in Powder Pink ink. Note: there is a gap between the base and frosting to allow for the sentiment. The sprinkles and cupcake topper are stamped in Melon Mambo.
The sentiment is stamped onto a 1-14″ piece of Powder Pink CS layered over a 4-1/4″ x 1-14″ piece of powder pink CS that has been flagged using the Banner Triple Punch. The sentinent was added with stampin’ dimensionals to give it some pop and the Glitter Enamel Dots add that touch of sparkle.
The inside is lined with a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Whisper White CS. The sentiment is stamped in Powder Pink ink and the confetti is stamped in Coastal Cabanna ink.

Hi Stampers. Welcome to another Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop. This time we are showcasing projects made using new products from the Stampin’ Up! 2019 Occasions Catalog and the 2019 Sale-a-bration brochure. For my card, I chose to use the Geared Up Garage set. I can’t tell you how excited I was to spot this set in the new catalog.
My card started with a pacific Point card base, 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. Next, I made good use of the coordinating Classic Garage Designer Series Paper stack. I cut the red piece to 5-1/4″ x 4″ and make two flags out of two other pieces in the stack. The piece with the steering wheels was cut to 3″ x 4″ and I flagged it with the paper snips. I used the banner triple banner punch to flag the gray piece, cut to 1-1/2″ x 4″.
Using the largest circle in the Stitched Shapes Framelit Dies, I cut a circle out of Whisper White CS. I then stamped the oil spills and nuts in Basic Gray ink. Using the Best Dad stamp and Real Red ink, I stamped the sentiment onto Whisper White CS. The emblem die from the Garage Gears Thinlit set was used to cut out the sentiment and another one in Silver Foil paper. I inserted the sentiment into the emblem and attached both to the circle using glue dots. All pieces were then attached to the card front using liquid glue.
The inside of the card is lined with a 5-14″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White CS with a 1″ x 4″ strip of DSP on the right side. I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink and adhered this layer to the inside of the card with liquid glue.

Hi Stampers. Welcome to the Pals monthly blog hop. We’re so glad you’re here! January is all about making “Art from the Heart,” featuring projects for Valentines Day, Thinking of You, Get Well, or Sympathy. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I chose to create my card using the Forever Lovely bundle from the Stampin’ Up! 2019 Occasions Catalog. My Forever Lovely card starts with a Thick Whisper White card base – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. Next I added a 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ layer of Sparkle Glimmer Paper. Next, I cut another piece of Thick Whisper White CS 4″ x 5-1/4″.
Stampin’ Tip: If you haven’t ordered glimmer paper since the new catalog, you should! They reformulated our glimmer paper last June and it is now easier to work with, it’s a little thinner (easier to die cut with) and doesn’t shed hardly any glitter!! I’ve always felt that Stampin’ Up! glimmer paper lost less glitter than what I could buy at the big box store. But, now it doesn’t shed hardly any – that’s just amazing!!!
Using the Lovely Flowers Edgelit Dies (part of the Forever Lovely bundle) I die cut the detailed floral edge on the 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Thick Whisper White CS twice. Once very close to the top and then another one just below that. I turned the die so that the cut portion both went into the card front (is that how to say that right?? See the photo to see what I mean). I then used the single edgelt die to cut two pieces of the Rose Glimmer paper and adhered that behind the detailed cutouts using glue dots. I wrapped a six inch piece of Whisper White metallic edge ribbon around the bottom and adhered it to the back with glue dots. Next, I made a small bow and attached it to the ribbon strip with glue dots. Then I adhered both of those pieces to the card front, over the Sparkle Glimmer Paper.
This is a close up showing how pretty it looks when light hits the glimmer paper – isn’t it pretty?!?!
I lined the inside of the card with a 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ piece of Sparkle Glimmer Paper. Since the middle was being covered up anyway, I cut a rectangle out of the middle so I can use that on another project. Next, I cut a piece of Whisper White CS 3-3/4″ x 5″ and used the little corner pieces to cut the tiny holes (see photo below) in the upper right and lower left corner. I cut 3/4″ x 3/4″ squares of glimmer paper and adhered those behind the holes with a glue dot.
In the center of the inside layer, I stamped the sentiment “Wishing you a lovely day” (from the Forever Lovely stamp set) in Blushing Bride ink. This layer was attached to the Sparkle Glimmer Paper layer using snail and a few glue dots. (Note: I used the glue dots because glue dots seem to grip the glimmer paper better than snail adhesive).
I hope you found my card inspiring. If you did, I encourage you to leave me a comment below.

Hi Stampers. Welcome to the Pals monthly blog hop. We’re so glad you’re here! December is time for glitz and bling with “All that Sparkles & Shines”. Today we feature projects that sparkle or shine. Maybe even a little of both.
You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
When this blog hop asked for something that Sparkles and Shines, I knew this card had lots of both! This is a custom card in a box that I made for a client. This Blueberry Bushel card in a box was covered in Sparkle Glimmer Paper. She wanted it to say something specific and it was customized to her needs. (That’s why some of the words are blurred out). So, the three side panels were printed from my computer onto Whisper White CS and sponged the edges with Blueberry Bushel ink using a sponge dauber. I then added some snowflakes that were die cut from Sparkle Glimmer Paper using the Big Shot and the Blizzards Thinlit Die. (The blizzard die, just happens to be on sale *wink wink*). A few clear faceted gems added just a little more sparkle and shine.
I stamped the snowmen from the Stampin’ Up! Spirited Snowmen stamp set in Memento Black ink and colored them with the Stampin’ Blends Markers. The snowmen were then fussy cut and adhered to the box using glue dots. I also added a few extra snowflakes around them. The snowflakes are attached to clear acetate strips and the card with glue dots. I stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Farmhouse Christmas stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink and cut it out with a circle from the Circles Framelit Dies. Behind that I have a piece of Pacific Point CS that was cut with a scalloped circle from the Circles Framelit Dies. The circles were attached to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
If you are looking for the measurements to all the pieces here, they can be found on this prior post. There you will find a PDF tutorial and a video.

Hi Stampers. Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends Seasonal Blog Hop. Today we are featuring “seasons”. I chose to create a Twist and Pop Panel Christmas card. I used a couple different stamps sets to get the look and greeting I was looking for. But, once you figure out how this card works, you can make them with all sorts of themes and stamp sets. I have included a video below to show you how it’s made.
My card starts with a Merry Merlot card base, 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″. The front of the card has a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of the Joyous Noel DSP and a 4″ x 3″ piece of Sparkling Glimmer Paper that I put through the big shot with the slop die from the In The Woods thinlit dies. I die cut the tree out of Tranquil Tide CS with the In The Woods thinlit dies. A little liquid glue and some Dazzling Diamonds glitter gives the effect of snow.
Inside the twist and pop panel card I have a 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ piece of Tranquil Tide CS, top and bottom. These are covered by a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White. On the top one, I accented it with a 1″ x 3 3/4″ strip of Merry Merlot CS, followed by a 3/4″ x 3 3/4″ strip of the same Joyous Noel DSP used on the front of the card. On the bottom panel, I stamped the tree from the Winter Woods stamp set in Tranquil Tide ink. The greeting, from the Spirited Snowman stamp set is stamped in Merry Merlot ink.
The video below show how to create the mechanism that makes the panels twist and pop. On the Merry Merlot CS panels I have layered Tranquil Tide CS and Whisper White CS Squares stamped with stamps from the Tin of Tags stamp set, alternating Merry Merlot and Tranquil Tide ink!
This is such a fun card and it’s even more fun to see the look on peoples face when they open it! I hope you give it a try.
If lie in the United States and you don’t already have a demonstrator, I would appreciate the opportunity to be YOUR demo. You can use the links below to purchase any or all of the products used in the making of this card. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. I’m here to help!

Hi Stampers. Welcome to the November, 2018 Blog Hop with Stampin’ Pretty Pals. Holiday cards are done. It’s time to start on gifts and gift wrap. Let the Stampin’ Pretty Pals inspire you with “Anything But A Card” today.
You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal. My project is a Christmas Gift Box that say’s HO HO HO using the large letters framelit dies and Lindor Truffles (could also be Ferrero Rocher or any other round covered candies about that size).
The box is made out of Real Red CS in three pieces – top, bottom and insert. For the top of the box I cut a piece of Real Red CS 4 1/8″ x 10 1/8″. This piece was scored at 3/4″ from all sides and burnished with a bone folder. Then I snipped the corners and adhered the tabs to the adjacent side. The top of the box is decorated with 8 1/4″ x 2 1/4″ layer of Basic Black CS followed by a 8″ x 2″ layer of Real Red CS. Using the Snowflake Sentiments stamps set, I stamped the greeting and snowflakes in Versamark ink. (Don’t forget to use the embossing buddy to prevent the powder from sticking where you don’t want it). I then added Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder, tapped off the excess and heated with the heat tool.
The bottom of the box was made using a 5″ x 11″ piece of Real Red CS, scored at 1 1/4″ from each for the four sides. I snipped the corners and adhered the tabs to the adjacent sides. (Watch the video below to see how I made this gift box).
The insert was created out of a piece of Real Red CS 3 3/8″ x 9 3/8″, scored at 1/2″ from each of the four sides. I die cut 3 “H” letters out of Gold Foil Paper using the Large Letters Framelit dies and the Big Shot. The “O” letters were cut out of Gold Foil Paper using two of the circle dies from the Layering Circles Framelit Dies and the Big Shot. I placed the letters onto the insert to determine where they would go and made marks with a pencil where each “O” would be. Then using the smaller of the two circle dies used to make the “O”, I cut a whole in the insert where each “O” will be. Each letter was then glued in place using liquid adhesive. I then snipped the corners and adhered the tabs to the adjacent sides. The Lindor Truffles are held in place using a glue dot on each end and adhering behind each “O” in the insert. The insert was placed inside the box (no adhesive needed).
Here is a video tutorial on the making of this gift box:
