The theme for February's Just Cards Class is Birthday Bonanza! I have had 2 groups of stampers make these cards so far, and they love them. I based this class on the It's My Party Designer Series Paper Stack and the other fun, new birthday products in the Occasions Catalog. The It's My Party Designer Series Paper Stack is fabulous -- four 12 x 12" sheets of each design in bright, festive colors. Here is a photo of all of the cards together:
Stop back later this week for the details about each card. (Sorry -- life got a little busy, but I promise to post details about each of these cards soon!) Happy Stamping,
Hello, and welcome to the RemARKable Stampers Blog Tour! We are featuring more products from the Occasions Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Catalog this month. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the projects. My first project this month features products from the Occasions Catalog: the Party With Cake stamp set and the It's My Party Designer Series Paper Stack.
Party With Cake
#140669 Wood-mount $28.00
#140672 Clear-mount $20.00
It's My Party Designer Series Paper Stack
#140552 $26.00 for 48 12 x 12" double-sided sheets
This is a fun stamp set to use for birthday cards for young and old alike! I made this special card for my little nephew who just turned 3! It is a pop-up slider card, and I think he really liked it.
This is one of the cards we will be making this month in my Just Cards Class: Birthday Bonanza. I loved adding the "3" from the Number of Years stamp set. It was easy-peasy to cut out using our Large Numbers Framelits dies. I bought the stamp set and framelits as a bundle and saved 15%!
My second project features two of the exclusive Sale-A-Bration products that are only available until February 15, 2016: The Sky Is The Limit stamp set and the Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper.
I just love how the Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper has a marbled-look on one side and a water-colored look on the other. I used the water-colored side for my sky and stamped the airplane directly on it with Tuxedo Black Momento ink. I stamped the clouds onto Whisper White card stock and then cut them out using my Paper Snips. As you can see in the detailed shot, I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up some of the clouds. Here are the supplies I used for this card:

Happy February! The theme for my Just Cards Class this month is "Birthday Bonanza." Everyone always needs birthday cards, so we will be making them this month. February is a big birthday month in my family -- we have 5 people celebrating. So, I will be using my cards right away!
One of the products we will be using in this class is the Party Pop-Up Thinlits Dies. Here is a video from Stampin' Up!
I am working on the final designs this week, so I will share them with you soon. Also, I will be planning a Make-Up Class from the Just Cards Class: All You Need Is Love in early February. A little storm named Jonas cancelled a few classes... Happy Stamping,
Here is the last card from January's Just Cards Class: All You Need Is Love.
I just LOVE the new Bloomin' Love Photopolymer Bundle! I saw a little sneak peak of the fabulous heart thinlit in a Periscope broadcast by Stampin' Up! and I knew I just had to have it! I could not wait until I got this bundle in my hot little hands, and I have been creating with it ever since. I like that it is versatile -- it is NOT just for Valentine's Day. I am busy working on some cards that use this set for other occasions, and I will share them with you soon. I also like how the artwork in this stamp set coordinates with the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack.
Here is a close-up of the flowers attached to the heart:
I stamped the solid flower stamp with Blushing Bride ink onto Whisper White card stock, then stamped the outline flower stamp with Rose Red ink right over top. It is easy-peasy to line these images up because the stamps and the thinlits have little "pointers" on them so you can line them up like a pro!
I attached the Rose Red heart to the Whisper White square with our 2-Way Glue Pen, then attached the flowers to the heart with Stampin' Dimensionals. I finished the flowers with our Basic Pearls for a romantic look.
The Whisper White layer was attached to a Rose Red layer, then the whole thing was attached to the Blushing Bride card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. The Be Mine banner was attached to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals, as well.
Here is the third card we made at my Just Cards Class: All You Need Is Love.
We used Crumb Cake, Blackberry Bliss, and Very Vanilla card stock with Blackberry Bliss ink. Blackberry Bliss is one of my all-time favorite In Colors! This is one of the 2014-2016 In Colors, so be sure to get it before it retires at the end of May. In fact, I always suggest that people stock up on the retiring In Color products they want during Sale-A-Bration. They can select a free Sale-A-Bration item for each $50 order they place (before tax and shipping). Here are the supplies we used for this card:
Here is another card from my Just Cards Class: All You Need Is Love:
I used Lost Lagoon, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, and Sahara Sand card stock for this card. Where did I get that color scheme? Well, I pulled it right from the Going Places Designer Series Paper Stack!
Going Places Designer Series Paper Stack
#140581 $8.00
One of my favorite new products is the World Traveler Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. This embossing folder is great from masculine cards, travel cards, and memory-keeping. So versatile -- I love it!
World Traveler Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
#138289 $7.50
We used Sahara Sand card stock with the World Traveler embossing folder, then sponged Sahara Sand ink along the edges and over the embossed areas to give it more depth. SNAIL adhesive was used to attach it to the Basic Black layer. I cut 3 pieces of the Going Places Designer Series Paper Stack in 1/2, 3/4, and 1-inch widths, then layered them together. They were attached to the center of the Sahara Sand layer with SNAIL adhesive, too. The globe stamp was inked with Delightful Dijon ink and stamped off once on scrap paper, then stamped onto Very Vanilla card stock. The greeting was inked with Momento Tuxedo Black and stamped right over top of the Delightful Dijon. We cleaned the stamp, then inked it with Lost Lagoon ink and stamped it on Lost Lagoon card stock. Next, we used our Paper Snips to fussy cut out the banner with the word "Love" in it. The globe was punched out with our 2" Circle Punch, then the Lost Lagoon Love piece was attached with Stampin' Dimensionals. The whole thing was then attached over top of the Designer Series Paper strips with Stampin' Dimensionals. You know I love Stampin' Dimensionals, and they were used once again to attach the Basic Black layer to the Lost Lagoon card front. We used the globe stamp and Delightful Dijon ink on the inside of the card, once again stamping off once on our scrap paper and then stamping on the Very Vanilla panel. The greeting was stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink over top. The layers were attached to the inside of the card with SNAIL adhesive. I hope you like this card! Here are the products we used to create it:
