Heartfelt Creations: Exploring the Heart Shaped Bundle / Day 2

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Yesterday, I shared my video and one of the three beautiful cards I created using the Heart Shaped Bundle. Today, I am excited to share the other two designs with you and highlight just how versatile and stunning this bundle is. This item is an absolute must-have, and during Sale-a-bration, you can earn it for FREE! However … I just heard it’s been marked “Low Inventory”.

The Heart Shaped Stamp Set is a heartfelt and creative tool that lets you send messages of love and gratitude in style. This set features sentiments like “My Thoughts of You,” “Thank You,” and “Hello,” making it perfect for Valentine’s Day, friendships, thank-you notes, or any occasion where a little extra love is needed. The floral heart stamp is beautifully detailed and can stand alone as a focal point or complement your sentiments perfectly. Coordinating dies make it easy to highlight the stamped images, add dimension, and create stunning focal points by layering the delicate heart for an eye-catching finish.

Today’s card is layers of the beautiful Floral Delight Designer Series paper which is covered with cheerful flowers in yellow and a nice textured piece with a checked pattern across them both to give the card a warm and welcoming feel.

The floral heart image was stamped using a Old Olive ink and the die cut heart was done in the same color. I chose the “My Heart Loves Your Heart” sentiment, stamping it in Old Olive making everything coordinate, and tie it all together.

The flower was die cut from the same checkered strip of designer paper to make it pop against the green. To elevate that warm and welcoming fell, I added a few of the new Antique Pearls. This card is perfect for sending heartfelt thoughts to a loved one, especially when paired with a handwritten note inside.

For the last card, I wanted to highlight the coordinating dies to add texture and dimension. I started with the Basic White color for the card base. The intricate heart shape was die-cut in three different colors; Basic White, Silver Foil and Soft Sea Foam, and layered creating a stunning 3D effect.

The background was embossed with the Fern 3-D Embossing Folder to create a soft texture. The “Just Because I Care” sentiment fit was tucked inside the heart, and I heat-embossed it in Silver for a touch of shine. The layered hearts and embossed sentiment creates a simply elegant card brimming with texture.

This beautiful card could easily be sent as a Wedding, Anniversary, Birthday … any occasion really, just by swapping out the sentiment.

The Heart Shaped Bundle is one of the most versatile tools you can add to your crafting collection. Whether you’re making Valentine’s Day cards, thank-you notes, or just sending a simple hello, this bundle has everything you need to create heartfelt, handmade projects. The mix of detailed florals and timeless sentiments ensures you’ll use it over and over again. And the best part? You can earn this bundle for FREE during Sale-a-bration with a qualifying purchase! Don’t miss your chance to own this beautiful set and start creating your own masterpieces. But remember … it’s Low Inventory right now!

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you feel inspired to create something special with the Heart Shaped Bundle.

Happy crafting! Linda

Inspired by Your Amazing Courage

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I’d like to share a card of inspiration. My card today was inspired by the amazing courage of my neice … Samantha Rose. I’m using the Greatest Journey Bundle … this was on my Wish List from the moment I saw it, and for very personal reasons. I love the sentiments and they are inspirational, yet there is one that is “inspiring” and that is the one I’m using today. I’m also using the dies, specifically the “rider on the bike”.

She was just a little girl, a baby when they discovered that Sammy had CF / Cystic Fibrosis. It affects their lungs and we were told to prepare that she would not have a long life expectancy (things are better now for children) and her health was critical so many times … but this girl persevered.

Approximately 14 years ago she went through her first “double” lung transplant, and has since has another. She is so grateful for her new chance at life (and her donors) that she is not wasting a second … she experiences all she can in life. She has journaled her experiences and connected with others suffering from CF. She has joined in to raise awareness as well …

She continues to amaze all of us .. family and friends, she is a true inspiration. But I have to share the pictures of HOW she celebrates her life that inspired my card today ….

She’s on that bike …

So my card today has the biker in the mountains ….

And I am truly inspired by her courage, the way she chooses to live her life and honor those who gave that second chance to her.

And if she’s nice biking in those mountains, she’s climbing them! Yep … this photo still makes me hold my breath!! Oh Lord, look how high she is!! I could go on for hours about how proud I am of her and the way she honors the life she was given… she is an inspiration. Love this girl …

And flowery foo foo cards are just not her style (that doesn’t mean she doesn’t like flowers) but I just felt this was so fitting for Sammy. The designer paper is so pretty and coordinates perfectly with this bundle, so with some paper and a couple die cuts the card was ready for the sentiment … Inspired by your courage!

Oh yes, and my oldest grandson, well a picture is worth a thousand words! And video’s … oh my, they can be hard to watch LOL.

More power to those who follow their dreams and inspire others by living their best life. I’ll stick to my passion of card making and sharing that!!

I hope today’s card inspired you. Just so you know, there’s also a tent and a hiker in that bundle, and I have something floating around my mind for one of the designs in that Enjoy your Journey designer paper. Can’t wait to share that one with you!

I think you will agree that this bundle and coordinating designer paper will be an adventure to stamp with as well. Thank you for sharing your time with me today. Have a beautiful day ~

Here is a list of ingredients that I used on today’s card …. Click on the image for more information or to begin shopping. Thank you. ❤

Simply Sunday: Amazing Silhouettes Stamp Set

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’d like to share a simple card created with the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set from our Annual Stampin’ Up! Catalog. Get back to nature with the nature-inspired images in the Amazing Silhouettes Stamp Set. Create beautiful silhouettes in one simple step. Use one color to make a bold impression or multiple colors for an ombre look.

My card base is Mossy Meadow and the beautiful designer paper is Sale-a-brations very own Dainty Flowers … the paper you can get for FREE with a $50 purchase. Because the Dainty Flowers paper has shades of Mossy Meadow and Old Olive, I used the Old Olive ink for my stamped silhouette and my greeting…. both on Basic White cardstock.

I wrapped bakers twine around my stamped image to create some texture and add a touch of nature to the card. This entire piece was popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting is a bit more than what I usually use for a Simply Sunday card but I couldn’t resist. Meet the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set, which includes various sentiments in different stylistic fonts designed to be used for all occasions. With this set, say thank you and congratulations, wish happy birthday and good luck, and show people you care. Grab some ink, pair with the images of your choice, and create your personalized handmade cards.

Love this sentiment set, and it gets better because it has coordinating dies!! That’s right … you can stamp your sentiments directly or die cut them and add them anywhere on your card! I also cut out a mat using the greeting die for some additional layering and to enhance the sentiment.

A great sentiment stamp set (with dies) is a must have for any stamp room, and a good investment as you can use it with any other stamp set, or just to add it to some of our stunning designer paper that doesn’t need anything else!

A simple card today that could be used for a man or a women, perfect isn’t it? I thank you for taking time out of your Sunday for the visit.

Have a great day ~

Oh Happy Day Card with Playing in the Rain by Stampin’ Up!

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

A little late out of the gate today but you’ll see it’s worth the wait. My Oh Happy Day card using Playing in the Rain is sure to bring a smile to anyone who receives it! It is a monochromatic card (basically one color: Fresh Freesia) and a fun stampin’ tip you can use over and over again.

Let’s take a look at today’s card ….

I teamed up the bunny from Playing in the Rain with the Fresh Freesia from the Dandy Designs out of the Sale-a-bration catalog. This is one of the items you can get FREE with a qualifying purchase of $100. There are 48 – 12″ x 12″ sheets in this package.

Need patterned paper that can be used for any season or occasion? The Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper is the one for you! It includes versatile patterns such as plaids, polka dots, and stripes. Make this paper the background for a card or scrapbook page. Or cut it into strips or accent pieces. However you use this paper, it will make any creation look dandy!

If you look closely, you will see two different patterns. I stamped the bunny image on the floral pattern and then cut out the shirt and dressed my bunny in his new outfit!! You can tell by his reaction that he loves his new shirt …. LOL

This technique is fun to use and can be done on almost anything! This angle shows you the layers of circles that I cut out using the Layering Circle dies, and I used the vellum cardstock to highlight the bunny… he is attached directly to the vellum and then popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the greeting with Fresh Freesia, but it with the Layering Circle dies and tucked it in with the other circles. I finished off the card by embellishing it with the Basic Rhinestones.

Thank you for hanging out with me today. How are you liking the Playing in the Rain so far? I shared 3 different designs this week, and will share more soon.

Tomorrow I have a whole new stamp set that has been just waiting for me to pull it off the shelf!

See you then ~

Another Window Card using Playing in the Rain

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I want to share another card from the Playing in the Rain using the same Window Card layout as I did yesterday. The only thing I changed was moving my “bridge” to the other side of the card, and of course my designer paper pattern and critter!

I wanted to share one of the two “rain” patterns that are included in the Rain or Shine Specialty designer series paper. This paper is a bit on the stormy side, however life can still be beautiful if we have a positive attitude. They say, it’s not what happens in life, but how we react to it …

And this happy fox doesn’t seem to let that stormy weather bother him at all. I fussy cut the flowers out again because I wanted a touch of pink in the card to coordinate with the umbrella and to create a better flow on my card. I changed the greeting as well … and I agree, rainy days are always better when your with people you care about.

Measurements:

  • Card base = 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ Score at 4-1/4″ then Cut at 5-3/4″ … cut 1-1/2″ from the piece you cut off.
  • Window Sheet & Basic White Inside: 5-1/4″ x 4″
  • Mat: 5-1/4″ x 1-1/4″
  • Designer Paper: 5-1/8″ x 1-1/8″

I wanted to show the “embossing” on the Rain or Shine Specialty Designer paper and how much dimension and texture you create with the layers of this card …

And by the way … got the greeting down on the first try! lol I have just begun to play with this cute bundle … Don’t worry, I’ll be sharing them with you!

Thanks so much for stopping back today. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Here is the list of supplies that I used for today’s card ….
