A few days ago, I performed stamp surgery on one of my new Sale-A-Bration stamps, So Hoppy Together.

I knew that I would get more use out of this little frog stamp without the unicycle so I took an Exacto knife and cut it off! And, if I decide that the unicycle works well with my project, I can still piece it together and use it that way.

Here's the card that I made with my "new" stamp!

Instructions:

• Cut Pool Party card base to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2".
• Cut another later of Pool Party to 4" x 5 1/4".  Use the Ruffled Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to add some "waves".
• Cut Whisper White to 2" x 5 1/4".
• Stamp frogs across so that he's turning flips! Use Memento Tuxedo Black to stamp.
• Color frogs with Blends.  Outlined with Pool Party Light to give a shadow/grounding effect.
• Cut two strips (3/4" x 5 1/4") of the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack in Granny Apple Green and adhere behind the top and bottom Whisper White strip as shown.
• Adhere to textured Pool Party piece.
• Tie ribbon below the main image.
• Adhere this entire piece with stamped image and ribbon to the card front.
• See how I finished the inside of the card below.

Below are the Stampin' Up! Products used on this card.  The So Hoppy Together cannot be purchased but you can earn it for FREE with a $50 product purchase from Stampin' Up! HERE!

Start your Valentine cards and treats for 2019 with these adorable new products from Stampin' Up!

Let's start the week off with an easy hostess gift that you can make for Christmas 2018!

Today's cardmaking project features a 2018 Christmas card featuring retiring products from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.

The Candy Cane Season photopolymer bundle includes a cut stamp set and a coordinating punch!

Here's the step by step how-to for today's card designed by Kristen, one of my team members.

Directions:

• Cut Real Red 3 ½ by 5
• Take the snowflake stamp and stamp it in Versa Mark all around the Real Red paper.
• Sprinkle white embossing powder, tap off and heat with Heat Tool.
• Stamp strips from candy cane on REAL RED (scrap piece 3 by 3) in Versa Mark and sprinkle silver embossing powder tap off and heat with Heat Tool.
• Punch out with Candy Cane Punch
• Stamp bow with Garden green (outline) and then stamp off once for the inside bow. Punch out with Candy Cane punch.
• Cut square using stitch thinlits using the BIG Shot. (If you don’t have a BIG SHOT you can always just cut out Whisper White square 2x2)
• Stamp holly with Garden Green and berries with real red.
• Glue candy cane on whisper white square with the bow on the Candy Cane front.
• Stamp BE JOLLY in real red with 1 by ¼ strip Whisper White paper.
• Assemble card with an adhesive of choice and add rhinestones.

Taking a little break from the holiday creations with this Stampin' Up! video tutorial with Follow Your Dreams.

This fancy fold and particular style of card was inspired by a card from my friend in California, Beverlee.  I loved the little extension and I thought this dream catcher and feathers would be just right for this card.

See the how-to in the video tutorial below.
