Hi Stampers. Well, we did it… We made it though 2020. Can you believe that Valentines Day will be here soon? On one hand the last year feels like a blur and on the other hand it feels like we “snailed it” through the year. So, it only seemed appropriate to use the new Snailed It Bundle (part of the Snail Mail Suite) for my Valentine’s Day for today’s blog hop.
My card starts off with a Blushing Bride card base followed by a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of the Snailed It DSP. Using the Triple Banner Punch, I then flagged the end of a 1/2″ strip of Basic White CS (approximately 5″ long) and then stamped the word “hello” near the flagged end. Also using the Triple Banner Punch, I flagged the end of a 3/4″ and 1″ strip of the Snailed It DSP (various patterns, approx 5-1/2″ long).
With Memento Black ink, I stamped the snail onto a scrap of Basic White CS and colored it with the Stampin’ Blends. Using the Snail Dies, I die cut the snail out, a few hearts out of Real Red CS and a postage square out of Blushing Bride CS. Next up, I adhered the strips with Stampin’ Seal and the postage stamp and hearts with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Inside the card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Basic White onto which I stamped the hearts and mushrooms. I used my AWESOME Stampin’ Blends to color. I’m thrilled with how it came out!
Stampin’ Up! does a FABULOUS job with co-ordination! While alot (and I mean ALOT) of the products all coordinate, ocassionally Stampin’ Up! will bundle them together as a “suite”. With a suite you can use one item number to order a set of products that are all designed to work together, giving you the best chance for success on making awesome projects!

Hi Stampers. How are you liking the new Stampin’ Up! 2021 January to July Mini Catalog? There are SO MANY beautiful things in there it’s hard to keep up! One of the first sets I was able to play with is part of the Dandy Garden Suite – the Dragonfly Garden bundle.
The Dragonfly Garden is actually a full suite – called the Dandy Garden Suite, complete with two stamp sets, a punch, a set of dies, DSP, laser cut paper, twin, cards & envelopes, Memories & More cards and embellishments.
For my card, I used the Dragonfly Garden bundle (just part of the Dandy Garden Suite). I started with a Very Vanilla card base and on the left half of the front, I layered a 2″ x 4″ piece of the Dandy Garden DSP over a 2-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Mossy Meadow CS. On the right side, I stamped the flowers and sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink and colored the flowers with the Stampin’ Blends.
Next, I insert the punch from the left side onto the card front (pushed all the way in) and punched. The dragonfly will rest inside this cutout.
Inside the card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of the Dandy Garden DSP. The dragonfly was stamped in Rich Razzleberry ink onto a scrap of Very Vanilla CS and punched out using the Dragonflies Punch. A little Wink of Stella on the wings and a few rhinestones in the middle added a little sparkle. (The Rich Razzleberry ink was still a little wet when I added the wink of stella and it blended a little and turned the sparkle pink – I like it!)
The dragonfly wings were scored on either side of the body and a few glue dots were adhered to the underside. With the card closed, I placed the dragonfly in the center of the cutout. With the wings folded up you can open and close the card. Folding the wings down secures it shut. Are you intrigued and ready to try the Dandy Garden Suite? I have attached a printable PDF here for your use – click the button.

Hi Stampers, welcome to our Sale-A-Bration blog hop. We are showing off some of the awesome items that you can earn for FREE during Sale-A-Bration 2021! Sale-A-Bration will kick off on January 5th, 2021 – the same day our 2021 January to June Mini Catalog goes live. It’s also the day that the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine is available to all.
During Sale-A-Bration, for each $50 you spend on Stampin’ Up! product you get a FREE Level 1 item. For each $100 you spend on Stampin’ Up! product you get a FREE Level 2 item or two Level 1 items. Several of the FREE products coordinate with the items in the January to June Mini Catalog.
The Sweet Strawberry bundle is for sale in the Jan-Jun Mini catalog. This bundle consists of the Sweet Strawberry Stamp set and the Strawberry Builder Punch. One of the Level 2 items in the Sale-A-Bration is a coordinating stamp set and DSP. This item contains the Berry Blessings stamp set and the Berry Delightful DSP. They work beautifully together!
My card has a Cherry Cobbler card base with a 3″ x 3″ piece of Whisper White CS adhered in the upper right corner. Over that, I adhered a 5-1/4″ x 4″ layer of the Berry Delightful DSP (which you can earn FREE during Sale-A-Bration!). Before adhering it, I used my bone folder to curl back the upper right corner. I used Stampin’ Seal adhesive around most of this layer, but pinned back the corner using a glue dot.
Stampin’ Tip: The Build a Strawberry punch can make a 3D strawberry – just punch out 3 of the strawberries (in Cherry Cobbler) and 3 of the stem and leaves (in Garden Green). Score each strawberry in half and attach them together. Use liquid glue to attach the leaves and stems to each strawberry. Cut off the stem of the center strawberry, leaving the leaves. Adhere the back of the strawberry to the card and the two stems together.
Inside my card is a 5-1/4″ x 4″ layer of Whisper White CS, adhered with Stampin’ Seal. Two step stamping was done for the strawberry (stamped in two parts – the solid and the detail) in Cherry Cobbler ink. The sentiment and the leaves/stem to the strawberry are stamped in Garden Green ink.

Hi Stampers. Today’s Stampin’ Friends Blog Hop is asking “What are you doing?”. Well, in light of what’s going on in the world – I’m staying home with my pampered pets! This adorable Playful Pets suite is soooo cute! I had to buy the whole suite! Have you seen that yet? In our catalog we have 10 suites that you can order with an “I want it all” order number.
click on photo to be taken to my store to purchase – hurry! It’s been popular and is currently on “low inventory”.
I made these adorable magnetic closure fun fold cards on my Facebook Live a week ago. You can find the video HERE. Once I get it on YouTube, I will upload that below.
The dog on the front of this card is actually cut from the Playful Pets DSP using the Pets Dies that come in the Pampered Pets bundle. I also backed the dog with a layer of Basic Black CS, cut from the same die – to give the dog more stability, since the Playful Pets DSP is thinner than the CS.
Behind the dog, I have a Basic Black scalloped circle and a circle of the Playful Pets DSP cut using the Layering Circles Dies. The arm that swings in from the right is tucked between the inside layers of Basic Black and Whisper White. I have placed a tiny magnet between the Basic Black circle and the Playful Pets DSP.
On the left side of the card front, I have a layer of Basic Black and a layer of Playful Pets DSP. I have placed a tiny magnet between the Basic Black circle and the Playful Pets DSP.
There are no cats in my house, my daughter does have two cats. So… I have grand-kitties. 🙂
The cat was stamped in Memento Black and colored using the Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends.
Inside the card, I have stamped the greeting (from the Pampered Pets stamp set) in Real Red ink.
Since the inside of the card mentions “treat”, it seemed only fitting that the 3D item for this post should be a treat. I used a 3″ x 4″ resealable bag and put a topper on it. The Basic Black topper is 3″ x 4″, scored at 2″. The DSP over it is 2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ with the same style dog (backed with Basic Black CS, again, for stability). So, what do you think?? Is this suite now on your wish list??
