Let's start the week off with a fun cardmaking technique using glossy card stock and our Stampin' Up! Classic Inks.

This is a super easy technique.  Here's a suggestion...prep and cut several pieces of glossy card stock so that you can make several of these backgrounds at once.  How nice to be prepared with a beautiful background when you need to make a quick card.

The colors used here are Pineapple Punch, Grapefruit Grove, and Lovely Lipstick.  Let's take a look at the video tutorial for the process. 

Lisa's Inkling:

• Have a tissue ready to keep your hands neat and clean.
• The Glossy Card Stock is cut 4" x 5-1/4".
• Cut your Stamping Sponges into wedges for ease of use.

Need supplies to recreate this project?  Here is the list with links to the online store.  If you at looking for a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I would love to serve you!

• Cut a piece of designer paper at 4" x 5 1/4".

• Berry Burst for the pierced image is cut 2 5/8" x 4".

Our daughter loved her birthday card and hope you are inspired to make a card using these beautiful Stampin' Up! products, too!

On my Facebook Live last week, we made this pretty fun fold handmade card with the Incredible Like You stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog.

Here is a remake and cardmaking video tutorial.  Same card, different color scheme.  Even though I continually refer to this beautiful color blue as Balmy "Breeze" throughout the video, I doubt that I ever do it again! It's Balmy BLUE!

Oh well!... Here's the inside of the card with the sentiment hidden behind the front square...

Let's take a look at the assembly in this how-to video tutorial.

Here are the details for this handmade card project:

• Base is cut 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". Score on the long side at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".
• Whisper White Square is 2 3/4" square for sentiment and 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" for inside of the card.
  
• Cardstock behind Whisper White is 2 7/8" square.
  
• The designer paper is cut 2" x 5 1/4".

Today's project is a fun birthday card with the Magical Day stamp set from the Occasions Catalog. 

I love this set and the coordinating framelits and designer paper.  These products make a fun card for kids of all ages.   Last week, I made this box with a darling mermaid from the set.

The rich colors from the designer paper inspired the coloring of the knight with my Stampin' Blends.  I think I could color with those beauties all day long...so very relaxing.

This card is a makeover of the one seen in the video below.  I switched things up a bit since I needed to add a sentiment.  Rather than add another die cut or punched element, I decided to white emboss the sentiment directly on the card base.  It just pops on that Dapper Denim base, doesn't it?

Take a look at the video below to see the basic steps for this card.

Click here to see this birthday card video tutorial on You Tube.

Lisa's Inklings:

• This is a great layout if you need a starting point for a card. 
• Use the designer paper that you choose as inspiration for your ink and card stock color choices.
• Try combining patterns as I did on both the card in the video and the makeover with Magical Day.  Notice one print is bolder than the other on each card.

Today's project is this adorable gable box with the Magical Day mermaid.   Isn't is cute?

This Magical Day set bundled with the Magical Mates Framelits (clear mount-145985) is perfect for the young and young at heart!...That's all of us, right?

I decided that the Silver Mini Gable Box (145568) needed to be flipped to the "white" side for this project.  You will see how easy that is to do in today's video.  The beautiful water themed background is from the Myths & Magic Specialty Designer Series Paper (145600).  This paper is the perfect companion for this group of products.  There are dragons, mermaids, and more that can be "fussy cut" from the paper to use on cards, boxes, banners...whatever you desire to craft! 

Below is today's project video where the "magic" happens! ;)

Click here to see the gable box with the Magical Day mermaid on You Tube.

Lisa's Inklings:

• There is just one piece that you have to loosen to flip the box to the white side.
• It's easier to decorate/embellish your box before adhering it back together.
• For designer paper, cut two pieces at 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" and two pieces at 1 3/4" x 3 3/4".
