A Few of my Favorite Ideas with the New Weekly Deals!

So, if you didn’t catch it last week, the Weekly Deals have changed up this month…instead of being a discount all week long, Stampin’ Up has chosen MORE items and offered them at a up to 30% off! Which is more than the 25% off they typically offer weekly deals. But the catch is, they are only available in Limited quantities so if you have a favorite, snag it early.

Here is what is up this week:

And here are a few things I’ve made with some of the sale items recently that I loved:

Using the Crumb Cake Stitched Satin Ribbon

Using the Floral Frames framelits

Love using the Ornate Tag Topper by punching BOTH ends of a strip of paper to make a fun tag

And the Hamburger box die is the cutest thing you will ever see! This was one of my favorite designs – created by Sherry Bueche – and you should check out her blog post here for more cute ideas using this box! Then snag it while you can get it for 30% off Smile

Have fun creating and I’ll be back tomorrow with a new Walkthrough Wednesday – this time sharing one of the Fun Fold cards we made in last weeks class!

Create a Flower with Petal Parade

Turns out I’m the queen of last minute! I knew that I was on-deck for a card for the Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration design team this week and I really did keep meaning to create some fun flower for our “Create a Flower” theme today. But next thing I know, it is 9:15 last night and I’m working away on a card for a workshop this weekend when I suddenly get the reminder to have my card posted. Oops!

Well, the card I was working on had a stamped flower, but it wasn’t a particularly unique use of the stamp. So, I quickly put my thinking cap on for what was some flower I could create that was different than just the typical stamped flowers that you punch out. (Don’t ask me why I didn’t think of using my new spiral flower die!) But a hare-brained idea to create a layered punch art flower with the Petal Parade stamp set came to me and this is what turned out:

So, aside from the sentiment, all the stamping for this came from the Petal Parade stamp set! Some mixing and matching of ink, stamps, and punches and it came together.

For reference, here is what the stamp set looks like:

First was the base layer of the flower – I stamped the half flower image from the stamp set onto white paper in a random pattern. I actually tried to make a triangle out of the flower image and then fill in the gaps with random stamping to fill it out.

Then for the subsequent layers it was straight forward stamping and then punching it out.

Top layer – The larger round flower in Strawberry Slush
Layer 2 – The daisy like flower in Crushed Curry
Layer 3 – The larger round flower in Calypso Coral
Base layer – Random stamping of the half flower in Strawberry Slush

I to a white piece of paper and cut out of the middle a flower shape using the Floral Frames Framelit and sponged both the outside edge and the inner cut-out edge of the flower with some Crumb Cake ink. Then I could just glue that to a Crushed Curry card base and glue down my flower punchouts to the middle of the flower.

I made a couple leaves out of the artsy chevrons from the stamp set and cut them out and adhered them to the sides of the flowers.

Then just add a few pearls, a sentiment, and some really bad random stamping (seriously, don’t look too close! 🙂 ) and you have yourself a card!

So what do you think? Ok for a last minute idea for a punch art flower? Hopefully it at least gave you some ideas to try at home!

When I saw the weekly deals this morning, I thought it was so cool that Floral Frames framelits were on sale and it made me think of my favorite card I’ve made with these framelits. Wanna see?

Sorry it isn’t the nicest picture, but it is what I had from when I made it a while back. It is easy to make thanks to the different size flowers in the floral frames framelit set and when you use the coordinating Daydream Medallions stamp set it comes together in a snap.
