“Oh, Boy! I Need ‘Kid’ Stamps” Card for PP539

, , , , , ,
Comments: 4

Oh, boy!  Do I ever need to add some children/kid stamps to my collection.  This realization came to me as I worked on today’s card.  It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

oh boy I need kid stamps

This week, Joanne is hosting our monthly theme challenge:  “Slugs, Snails  & Puppy Dog Tails:  Cards for Boys”.   Theme challenges are always a favorite of mine.  Usually I have at least a couple of choices for stamp sets that I can use.  You can imagine my surprise and dismay when I found nothing suitable in my arsenal of stamps for a boy.  As Brady and his friends grew older, I simply quit buying them.  Sure, I probably could have used Pampered Pets.  But I had already used it to make what would have been a great card for this challenge,  and I didn’t want to CASE myself.  Then along came April’s Paper Pumpkin to the rescue! What boy doesn’t love frosty frozen treats? I hope you enjoy today’s card.  I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

In order to accommodate the ice cream bar card from Paper Pumpkin, I started with a 4-1/4″ x 6-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock to form the  card base.  This size fits perfectly in the larger Memories & More envelopes. The sentiments and die cuts are also from the April Paper Pumpkin. How easy is that? And just look at that Silver Glimmer Paper sparkle!  I added stars created with the Stitches Stars die cut collection, using glimmer paper scraps from Paper Pumpkin, as well as the delicious Ice Cream Corner designer series paper.

oh boy I need kid stamps

Of course, the inside of the card needed to be decorated.  The sentiment is once again from the Paper Pumpkin kit.  I snipped frosty treats from the designer paper as accents, leaving a space for a signature.

oh boy I need kid stampsI am pleased with how today’s card turned out.  However,  Stampin’ Up!’s  new Annual Catalog has several great stamp set choices for children’s cards.  You can bet one or two will be on my order May 4th!  To download a free step-by-step tutorial for today’s “Oh Boy! I Need Kid Stamps” card, which includes all the paper measurements and all of the current products used,  please click on the button below. (Even if you do not subscribe to Paper Pumpkin, you can replicate this card by drawing  your own ice cream bar.  Simply google “ice cream bar template” for several choices.)  For every card which has been posted on my blog this year, there is a free tutorial.

Cheery Get Well Card

, , , ,
Comments: 6

A cheery get well card may be just what the doctor ordered to get an ill friend feeling in the pink again.  It’s time to play at Festive Friday – Home of the Inspo List!

cheery get well card

For this week’s challenge,  we are inspired by International Nurse’s Day.  Remember – at Festive Friday, you do not need to actually celebrate the occasion.  Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project.  I used get well, red, blue, embossing and stitching on my card this week.  I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

There’s just something about tulips that make them a cheery flower. Maybe it’s their bright colors, or maybe it’s something about their delightful shape.  No matter what the reason, I think they are perfect for get well cards. This trio has been stamped in Real Red and Pacific Point, which happen to be colors in the flag of the Netherlands.   I did take a little poetic license with my Pacific Point blue tulip, because according to the Amsterdam Tulip Museum, no true blue tulip has ever existed.  Any “blue tulips” which have been developed are shades of violet or lilac.  I used the speckles stamp from the Poppy Parade set to add some speckles.  The clear jewels are Clear Elegant Faceted Gems. They almost look like drops of dew.

cheery get well card

If you are a tulip lover, and live in the Midwest, you may want to check out the Pella (Iowa) Tulip Festival, a celebration of this picturesque city’s Dutch heritage.  It will be held May 6th – 8th this year.  Although they will not be holding the parades due to COVID restrictions, the tulips will be as stunning as ever.  According to the Pella Parks Department, just over 128,000 tulip bulbs, in over 80 different varieties, were planted in parks and along the streets for this year’s blooming.  Can you imagine the explosion of color? And of course, there is always the food.  For me, no trip to Pella is complete without a trip to Jaarsma’s Bakery, which specializes in Dutch pastries.  I highly recommend their Dutch Letters.  YUM!
