Sharing One of my Favorites: Country Birdhouse

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I am so excited to share some great news with you today—our Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Sale has officially begun! This is an ideal time to stock up on essentials and splurge on a few new treats for yourself. Right before the holiday rush, you can shop for all the goodies you need for your projects (and maybe add a little something just for you)!

If you’re like me and can’t resist a good bundle, you’re in for a treat. Not only do bundles in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog offer an incredible 10% discount every day, but during this sale, you’ll get an extra 10% off! That’s a full 20% off—a fantastic opportunity to snag that bundle you’ve been eyeing or gift yourself a creative boost.

One of my absolute favorite bundles this year is the Country Birdhouse. This bundle has been a joy to create with—it’s versatile, beautiful, and has endless possibilities for card-making. The stamp set features the birdhouse, flowers and beautiful sentiments, and the coordinating dies add that extra bit of polish and flair to any project. Here’s a look at a few cards I’ve made using this bundle that might just inspire you too:

Card 1: With soft, elegant tones and intricate layering, this card makes a beautiful choice for any occasion. The bird and flowers add such a lovely touch, making it perfect for sending warm wishes to someone special.

Card 2: I adore this one because it’s a bit more playful and colorful! Paired with the Country Woods Designer Series paper, it’s fun and versatile for birthdays or just a cheerful “hello” to brighten someone’s day.

Card 3: For those who love a touch of elegance, this card shows off the bundle’s potential for more formal designs. Paired with Moody Mauve and Pretty in Pink, it’s a stunning combination to say hello to a good friend.

What’s on Sale: Bundles, Designer Paper, Cardstock, and Select Ink Pads!

It’s not just bundles on sale; you’ll also find Designer Paper, Cardstock, and select Ink Pads at discounted prices. Whether you’re looking to add a touch of shimmer with new papers or keep your favorite colors in stock, this sale covers all the crafting essentials you need.

Why Wait? Shop Early and Beat the Black Friday Rush

Shopping early has its perks! You can avoid the Black Friday madness, get your supplies at a fantastic discount, and spend those holiday weekends actually crafting, not shopping. So go ahead and check a few things off your list for yourself or the crafters in your life.

The Sale Starts Today—Don’t Miss Out!

This Seasonal Sale only lasts until Friday at midnight, so hop over to the catalog and treat yourself to something special. With these discounts, there’s no better time to complete your collection or try something new. Whether you’re stocking up on basics or diving into a new bundle, I hope you find something to spark your creativity and make this season even more joyful.

Happy crafting, and happy savings!

“You’re In My Thoughts” card and more …

Hello stampin’ friends …

Today is our last day to order any of the 25 pre-selected stamp sets at a 25% discount.  I will be sharing several cards with you from some the stamp sets in this list, so the post is a bit longer than usual, but you will want to stick around for the  a “featured stamp set” …. A Dozen Thoughts.  I have created a special card for you today with this very versatile greeting stamp set.

DemoHeader_25for25_demo_October22-28_NA

Let’s begin with my “Best Friend” card from the Label Love stamp set.  This card also features 3 of the new In-Colors: Pistachio Pudding, Strawberry Slush, and Coastal Cabana.

Label Love –101_1260

Next I have 2 birthday cards that I created when the Apothecary Art stamp set first came out.  The second card with the “Cherry Cobbler” background was created with the left-over piece of card stock from cutting the mat for the first card.  Ahhh … we stampers let nothing go to waste.

Apothecary Art –000_1107

“For You” card featuring the “Gorgeous Grunge” Stamp Set:000_0176

Gorgeous Grunge!!! page 109 / Clear – 130517 $13.46 / Wood – 130514 $18.71

GORGEOUS GRUNGE

How am I doing so far?

Are yo ready for another sample?  Ok … my next card is from the “Gently Falling” stamp set.  This is one of the cards that my technique club made last year when they learned the “Faux Tile” technique.

Gently Falling  – pg 65 / Clear – 123804 $21.71 /  Wood –128430  $29.96

Ok … I think it’s time to share my featured card / stamp set …  First the stamp set!

A Dozen Thoughts – pg 59 / Clear – 131059 $14.21 / Wood – 131056 $20.21

131059L

Now the card … Simple but pretty.

000_0332

I began with Very Vanilla cardstock, and the “Birthday Basics” Designer Series Paper.  I thought this pattern was cute for a simple style of card.

Next, I stamped the “You’re in my Thoughts” greeting onto the cardstock … yes stamped, before I ran it through the Bigshot with the “Stripes” Folder.  Just make sure your ink is dry before putting it into your folder.  If it does get ink on it, just be sure to clean off the folder before your run another one through.

The flowers were created with the “Pansy” punch… punch 2 flowers.  The bottom flower is curled under and the top flowers petals are curled up.  You can use a bone folder to curl or a pencil.  There are dimensionals between the two punched flowers and to pop it off the card.

I chose the “Very Vintage Designer Buttons” for the center of my flower.  There are three different styles in the buttons, I used one of the two 3/4″ buttons.  I wanted to thread something through the holes of the button, but didn’t like the Bakers twine because it is white, and I was working with vanilla.

000_0327

So… yesterday I told you how easy the Seam Binding is to use, so not only did I use it for my bow, I threaded it through the button.  If you make a nice pointy end on your seam binding, it will pull through nicely.  I then just cut off the edges and secure the ribbon to the button, and the button to the flower with the “sticky strip”… it holds awesome!
