Quick Thank You Cards with Painted Blooms designer paper
First up, I wanted to give everyone a quick reminder about all the changes happening in the next couple of days:
- TODAY – Last call on the current weekly deals. preorder product samplers!
- TOMORROW (6/2) – shop out of all 3 catalogs (old annual, new annual, occasions catalog), LAST DAY for the old prices (some large punches, the Big Shot, Big Shot plates, and ink are increasing slightly; everything is getting rounded to the nearest dollar or quarter) and current hostess benefits, NEW get 2 free stamp sets when you become a member of my Fun n’ Crafty team!
- WEDNESDAY (6/3) – only the new annual catalog will be available to shop from, prices and hostess benefits will reflect the new catalog amounts, continue through the end of the month to get 2 free stamp sets when you become a Fun n’ Crafty team member!
Ok, now that you got that all down, right? If you have questions, feel free to email me at jennifer@nwstamper.com
So, lets move on to some cards!
I was inspired by a similar card idea by Patty Bennett and so love the idea of creating this quick and easy thank you card. And it gave me a last hurrah with more of my favorites that are going away.
Featured Retiring Products:
- Petal Potpourri stamp set (wood | clear | wood bundle | clear bundle)
- Painted Blooms designer paper
- Modern Label punch (sold out)
TOMORROW is your LAST CHANCE to snag these!
Tips for making this card:
- These cards are great because they are a SUPER EFFICIENT use of your designer paper! Cut your 12×12 piece of designer paper into 9 – 4”x4” squares… you’ll get 108 pieces in a full pack of paper.
- Mount your pattern paper to a 4-1/4” x 4-1/4” card base (so a 4-1/4” x 8-1/2” piece of cardstock folded in half) and you are almost done!
- Add some ribbon, a punched flower, and a sentiment and you are done!
- I’m so sad the Petal Potpourri stamp set is retiring, but at least the punch is sticking around! Punch out a stamped image and then a solid colored cardstock using the Flower Medallion punch and then glue them together so that the wide flower petals from the solid cardstock punched flower is layered behind the skinny petals of the stamped and punched flower. It ends up looking really cool!
- You can keep it as simple or as fancy as you want. And with a great patterned paper like this Painted Petals designer paper, you really can’t go wrong!

Sending off Mixed Bunch and the Modern Label Punch with a Blue Bokeh Card
Every year I have one item on the Stampin’ Up retiring list that I can’t believe is going away. This year, I can’t believe the Modern Label punch is retiring! Especially since it goes so awesomely with the Word Window punch! I guess that just means I have to enjoy it now (and hang on to mine and keep loving it after they stop making it too. )
Today I wanted to share another Bokeh card we did in my technique class. I think I’ve decided I love mixing in colored circles with my white circles when doing the Bokeh technique. What do you think?
Featured Retiring Products:
Get them before they are gone by the end of the month!
Tips for making this card:
- Start with a piece of vellum and some circle punches – I used the 1”, 1-1/4”, and 1-3/8” circles and punch out a template to use for layering.
- Randomly sponge the background with your favorite color combination
  (this was Lost Lagoon, Pool Party, Pear Pizzazz, and Hello Honey)
- Use your circle template to layer colored and WHITE craft ink circles on top of your background. It looks best if you overlap your circles.
- Keep it interesting by adding a punched flower, but trim some of the edges so it fits to colored layer (kind of makes it look like it is behind a window or something, huh?)
- The Venetian Crochet trim is a nice, soft addition to cards without being too girly because of it’s thin size.
Get them before they are gone! The retiring accessory list is while supplies last and as you saw with the Blossom Punch, things are selling out. Make sure you have ordered your favorites and when you shop with me, you will be on the list to get a new catalog sent to you! Shop now

Sweet Hello Baby Card
Every now and then a card comes together that is a little bit of this and that and I just love the end result. This is one of those cards. I actually made it for last summer’s convention display boards and realized that I don’t think I ever posted it, so I wanted to share!
Tips for making this card:
- This is a perfect card for using up a bunch of your scraps because it is lots of little die cuts and scrap strips of paper.
- Cut out an oval framlelit shape and then add a little bit of detailing by creating faux stitches using your Baked Brown Sugar marker.
- Don’t be afraid of letting your stamped elements go off the edge of the oval. It keeps it more interesting to look at and not too stuck together.
- Mix and match your stamps like the moon from Pictogram Punches and then the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes for just the card you want.
- Add some flair to your bows by tieing a bow with the Gold Baker’s twine and then AFTER you tie the bow, unwrap the gold piece for a bit of tinsel.
- Both the pink designer paper and the paper for the little stars come from the All Abloom designer paper stack. You can give your paper new life by punching out shapes (like the flowers in the paper) with a different shape (the star from the Itty Bitty Accent Punch Pack)

Framed Flowers Card for a Friend with Pictogram Punches
When I saw that the paper stacks in the Stampin’ Up catalog were on the weekly deals this week for 25% off, I was pretty excited. I love my paper and though I need to work on using it more (hence why I’m planning my technique class this month to be all about Using You Paper!) I have had some fun with it already including this card:
Tips for making this card:
- Die cut the center of a piece of the All Abloom designer paper stack (I thought this looked like some fab wallpaper) and then layer over a piece of Whisper White cardstock to make the focal point in your card.
- Take the same oval you used to cut the piece out of your patterned paper and the next size bigger and nest them on a piece of scrap Soft Suede cardstock. Run them together through your big shot to get a “frame” for your cut out.
- Use the colors from the paper you chose to decide which colors to stamp your vase and flowers from the Pictogram Punches stamp set and then punch out the flowers with the matching Itty Bitty Accent Punch Pack.
- Make a dimensional sentiment by taking a strip white cardstock and folding in both ends to make a “Z” shape on each side. Then glue the ends flat to your cardfront while holding up the middle with a dimensional.

Lovely Lattices with the Chevron Border Punch
Today is my day to share some ideas over on the Stampin’ Stylin’ Inkspiration blog and I thought I would share with them and you a technique that has been around for a while but I only recently gave it a try myself – making lattices with the Chevron punch! If you haven’t tried it yet, this is an easy technique that has lots of possibilities.
To get started, here is the card that was my first attempt with this idea:
It was my chance to play with a few of the fun new tools from the Occasion catalog including:
- The Petite Petals Bundle
- Fringe Scissors
- and the Chevron Border Punch!
So, when I would see that lattice or similar looks on other cards, I always thought it was really hard and complicated. I wasn’t sure that I could make it myself, but I finally figured that since I had the Chevron Punch I ought to at least give it a try.
Turns out it is easier than I thought! Wanna see how to do it yourself?
Start out with two 1.25″ x 5.5″ strips of cardstock. Punch the chevron pattern on each one. Here is where I lined up the first edge of my cardstock to get started punching so that I had the right amount of spacing.
Now, after you punch the first set of chevrons, slide the paper over and continue punching along the paper strip. Make sure you only see silver through the punched chevrons as you go! Otherwise your chevrons will be uneven and won’t braid together very well.
Once you are done, you should have two strips of cardstock that look about the same. Lay them next to each other on the table so the chevrons are pointed in the opposite directions.
Now, start “braiding” the paper. That is lay the two strips on top of each other in this orientation and start tucking the chevron tips so that the top layer chevron tips are *behind* the chevron tips of the back piece of paper. I know that is a little confusing to read in text, but if you look up close, this next picture might help!
Wha-bam! You have a handy dandy snazzy lattice to use in your projects. 🙂 Now, because you braided them together, your final piece is actually a little bit longer than 5-1/2″. So you can position it how you’d like on the front of your card and trim off the extra – so, no worries if your ends look a little strange.
Tuck in some flowers… add some butterflies… stamp your background with the Hardwood stamp set and you have a really fun card!
I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial! I highly recommend giving it a shot. There are so many fun things you can do with this technique. For example, check out another idea for something you can do if you make this lattice with two different colored strips of cardstock!
In this case, I used Melon Mambo and Whisper White, then I glued it over a piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock for bright look on white. What do you think? Pretty right? So give it a shot and get creative and you may just love what comes out!

A Masculine Card with Six Sided Sampler
Quick, name a stamp set that you just had to have but have since used once – or not at all! For me, that has been the Six Sided Sampler stamp set. I saw lots of cool things done with this set and I loved the hexagon punch that coordinated, so I picked it up last fall. and I think I’ve used it about twice! Thankfully, my friend Sarah Naber came to my rescue with this awesome inspiration that is great for guys or gals!
You know me, I love clean and simple cards – especially if they have lots of great details that are subtle but really add to the card. And boy does she deliver!
It is a little hard to see in the first picture, but I like how she stamped the Cherry Cobbler cardstock with the Woodgrain stamp and then she embossed the Island Indigo cardstock with the Alphabet Press embossing folder
Add a touch of Linin Thread for one last bit of texture. Such a great color combination (Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, Island Indigo, Crumb Cake) and use of those hexagons. I think I have some inspiration to play with again!

Happy St. Patricks Day with a Pansy Punch Shamrock
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! It snuck up on me, but thanks to my hubby, I remembered to wear green this morning. 🙂
Well, last week for my stamp club, I shared this cute little tag as a bonus project to show another great way to use that Pansy Punch. Turn it into a fun shamrock for St. Patrick’s Day!
Now, how do you make it?
1. First, punch out a flower in your favorite shade of green (in this case, I used Gumball Green).
2. Then, pick a petal to start trimming and cut off the sides of your selected petal. (I’ve shaded in the part to cut off in the picture below)
3. Cut away the petals….
And you have a cute shamrock!
Add it to cards or die cuts to make a fun tag for a card, gift, scrapbook page, whatever you need.
I punched out a 2-1/2″ circle in Very Vanila and added the stamped sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and then mounted the whole thing on a Gumball Green starburst (using the Starburst framelits). Add a green button, just for fun, and Ta Da!
So, I hope you have a great – and lucky – day!

Fun with Flower Shop stamps and Doilies
Just a quick card share today – this was another card we made at our recent club night. I was playing with a little bit of everything at my craft table to create this texture-rich card.
The one thing that is a little different about this card, but can be hard to tell when looking at it, is that we actually cut the white Tea Lace Doily in half and overlapped the pieces so that the total size of the doily is a little bit smaller than normal. That let us have the look of the doily without it taking over the entire width of the card.
The nice thing is that the Calypso Coral chevron ribbon covers up the seam where we glued together our halves of the doily so no one would ever know!
Add some Naturals Specialty Composition paper and some images from the Flower Shop stamp set and you have yourself a card!

A Little Bit of This and That for a Fun Thank You Card
I have a “matchy-matchy” mind I’m learning. When I have product kits or coordinating suites, I tend to make projects that use all the stuff from that one collection. So, that makes today’s share a bit more impressive for me since I pretty much used a little bit of this and that of things lying around my craft table to create this fun thank you card for a friend.

I was playing with a few of my favorite new things (the Oh Hello stamp set and Tea for Two designer paper), but then I wanted to give the new Designer Brads a try.
I used my Pink Pirouette cardstock to make the small pink circle in the middle of the brad (you use the circle from the Itty Bitty Punch pack to easily punch this out). Then I loosely formed a bow with the new Two Tone ribbon and then wrapped my designer brad around the center of the bow to pinch it together and make a cute accent. The wrapping the brad tines around the bow did use up most of the metal from the brad tines, and so I ended up adhering my bow to my card with glue dots.
But all together, it was fun putting this card together and hopefully my friend liked it.
And for those of you scrapbookers out there, stop by my blog tomorrow for another installment of Scrapbooking Sunday! See you then!

Smashed Bottle Cap/Soda Pop Top Spring Card
Ever since I went to Leadership in January, I have been dying to try out the technique of smashing the soda pop tops with your Big Shot to create these super cute embellishments. For some reason I thought it was going to be super hard or complicated… or something that made me a little bit intimidated to give it a try. But then one day I decided to just go for it and I was shocked at how easy it was!
So, I just had to put together a card to share with my group at my monthly team conference call/meeting. I showed them how easy it was and then had supplies for everyone to make this card:
I just had to use some of my new favorites including Tea for Two designer paper and the Honeycomb embossing folder for the base of the card.
But check out this pop top… isn’t is awesome when smashed?!?
How to Smash Your Soda Pop Top in Your Big Shot
Ok, so if you want to do this yourself, this is what you need to do:
1. Put your white multi-purpose platform on the Big Shot base with all of the tabs/shims flipped open
2. Sandwich your bottle cap/pop top between the two clear cutting plates and place on top of the multi-purpose platform
3. Run through your Big Shot
That’s it! It smashes fast and like buttah! I have way too much fun doing this.
I just used the 1” Circle Punch after I stamped my image from the Collage Curious stamp set (stamped on River Rock cardstock) and adhered it to the inside of the pop top. Then I filled the inside with Crystal Effects.
I will warn you it takes a long time to dry! Like seriously, it took probably about 45 min for mine to dry because I used soooo much Crystal Effects. But it looks so awesome that I just had to do it.
So if you haven’t tried this smashed soda pop top technique yet, you totally should! Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Halloween Colors but not a Halloween Card
This afternoon, I finally got to have some quality time with Photoshop on my computer and finished editing a bunch of project photos to share here on my blog. However, when the time came to pick what to share with you tonight, I kept gravitating towards Christmas cards, and while I can’t wait to share more holiday ideas with you, I just wanted to give Halloween and pretty fall colors their time too. 🙂
So I thought I would share this card I received as a swap at convention that I just loved. I thought it was so pretty and a great way to show that a few simple punches and some tied ribbon can make a big impression.

I don’t know who the designer was of this card since there is no name or contact info on it (though if you do know, please let me know so I can give proper credit!) but whoever you are, thanks for the great inspiration!
All the butterflies are from the Papillion Potpourri stamp set and the main butterfly was punched using the new butterfly punch. Yes, I know what is going on my Christmas and Birthday wish list! I just love the versatility I see in this stamp set and punch. Does anyone really miss the old butterfly punch? 🙂
Anyway, hope you enjoyed this non-Christmas inspiration. I’ll be back again with more Christmas cards soon!
PS – Ready for the new Stampin’ Trimmer?
I just want to make sure everyone had heard… Stampin’ Up! is finally ready with their new and very improved paper trimmer. It is available for demonstrators to preorder now and will be available for all orders starting in November. So get your wish lists ready!
If you have any questions about the trimmer and why it is so awesome, let me know and I can fill you in. I got to play with one at Convention and have been impatiently waiting ever since :).
