This bundle is SO much fun! And more versatile than you may think! (Another plug to make sure you check out all we are posting in this hop! 😃) And the paper is so cute & easy to use to make quick focal points or anything! Let me share some details with you! First up ... the Coastal Cabana banner card!
To make the background, I first stamped a bunch of the sayings onto the card front. I didn't worry about it being perfect. Just stamp away in the order you want! I then blended a little ink onto the cardstock with Coastal Cabana ink. And then embossed it with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder. Then for the banners ... I just punched some of the middle banner out with different colored cardstocks: Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly, Basic Beige, and Soft Sea Foam. Folded them in half, and added them to twine I draped across the card front. (I adhered the twine to the back of the card front. Then tied the bows separately and used a glue dot to adhere to the card.) The heart is from the Hobby Haven paper.
Next up ... the Basic White card! I LOVE all the layers and textures on this card. Let me share some details ...
The banner accent was made by embossing some Basic White cardstock and then punching out a bunch of the banner piece. The "ticket" piece was just punched out from Designer Series Paper. Same as all the other pieces for the focal point!
I hope you enjoy these cards! Let me know if you have any questions! Have you played with this bundle or the paper yet?!

Contact: designwithink@gmail.com Recently went to Stampin' Up!'s Backstage Leadership Convention in Vegas ... and it was AMAZING! The fun all started for me with some fabulous humans gathering for dinner. Most of the Artisans that were in attendance for the convention - past & present - got together to meet/reunite/hug/chat/laugh/etc. It. Was. Such. A. Highlight! I am SO SO grateful for the Artisan teams I have been on and the Artisan community as a whole ... because "Once an Artisan, always an Artisan!" 😍 And as a reminder ... this is an international group! We had so many countries represented and it. was. amazing to be apart of it. My heart was SO full after! Since I organized the event, I wanted to have a little Vegas themed gift at the table for them. Have to admit ... I was pretty bummed at first because a few things I was planning just didn't work out, due to some shipping issues. But ... at least they looked pretty cute! Hee. So sharing that first, and then share some photos of us! 💗 We SOOOO missed those that weren't able to make it!!!! 😢 I brought all the "pieces" and put the bags together one I got to my hotel room. My fabulous good friend & roomie, Chelsey, helped me! So had to have a little photo shoot in our room with the bags & her! 💗😂
I used quite a few products on here ... all from Stampin' Up! ... although some are from awhile ago! Do you recognize where the banner piece is from?! If you have been around for a long time, you may! I had a "vision" for these bags, and I was SO GLAD that I still had some of these pieces! Because they were perfect! Hee.
But also used the new Swirled Designs Bundle, that I LOVE! That is a new Online Exclusive! The Mini Alphabet Dies are phenomenal ... it's one big die that die-cuts all the letters! So I just added some Adhesive sheet to the back of black cardstock, and ran the whole die through a few times. Then found all my letters for the names! It was so quick & much easier than it could have been! Hee. And then of course the Stylish Shapes Dies always come in handy for me! 😍 The Damask Designs Embossing Folder added a bit of an "old world" Vegas vibe for me. I embossed on Black Cardstock and then sanded a bit ... just to make it a little distressed and stand out a bit more.
The restaurant we were meeting at had terrible lighting, so good thing I took some photos before! Hee.
And then look at all the cuties that were in attendance!
Truly ... loved loved this night! Thanks everyone for coming!! 💗💗💗 And thanks now for visiting and letting me reminisce a bit!

Yay! It's challenge time! I am excited to share this fun sketch challenge with you today because I LOVE a good card sketch! It takes SO MUCH overthinking out of the equation! (I know I'm not the only one here with this! Haha.) So let's get started! All the supplies I used are from Stampin' Up! And I started with the Natural Botanicals Stamp Set and I wanted to make it bold!
And here is the card sketch that I worked with!
So much fun, huh?! SOOOOOO many possibilities! I want to see what you make with it!
I went with some Basic Black cardstock with some stamping and white embossing to really make it pop. After stamping and embossing the background - I added some die-cuts and a watercolored sentiment! The dies are the Swirled Designs Dies (NEW ONLINE EXCLUSIVE RELEASE!) and the Wonderful Thoughts Dies for that fabulous flower. 😍 Yes ... that shimmer comes from the FABULOUS Wink of Stella Glitter Brush! This thing is a dream to cleanly and easily add sparkle!
And also ... with this latest online exclusive release ... we have Vellum back! Great quality, FABULOUS Vellum! So that is the embossed layer for this card!
And one last look at the full card!
I hope you enjoy this and I mostly hope you come play along with us! Head on over to the TGIF Challenge Blog to see what the other designers made and to play along! We can't wait to see what you make!
Thanks so much for visiting! Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can help with anything! Contact: designwithink@gmail.com
Want to learn some fun techniques with ribbon?! Well let's get started. Let me show you a few tips to make these pretty projects. I used the Christmas Greenery Bundle and the Traditional Labels Bundle for these projects also. The Branching Out Dies also make an appearance! All supplies used are from Stampin' Up!
This is one of the fun things about being on the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team ... sharing different and fun techniques with you. It helps me grow as a creator, designer, and crafter. I have to admit ... I had a lot of fun playing with these! So let's get into these fun Ruffled Ribbon Techniques!
First up ... that fun tag!!! Here is how to make the base of the tag:
***Note: I also added some glue dots strategically behind some of the ruffles that looked like it need it. And remember to stamp the top of the tag, if desired, before you adhere it down!
I love that this Christmas bundle - the Christmas Greenery Bundle - makes very non-holiday projects as well! It's so versatile! Look how pretty this turned out with all the fun details!
I think this tag is so much fun! Now ... on to a more simple ruffled accent. Did you see that cute ruffled sentiment on the card?!
Here is how you make that!
So easy and fun! I also have a few little tips for you on some other aspects of this card! That fun multi-colored greenery bit was easily done with some watercoloring! I just picked my colors: Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, & Lost Lagoon, and added little "blobs" of color onto Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. Then die-cut the image!
The fun background was made by simply adding some splatter to the Basic Beige card front. Then die-cut the berries (TIP!!! ADD ADHESIVE SHEET TO CARDSTOCK BEFORE DIE-CUTTING FOR EASY ADHERING!) and just adhere them to the cardstock.
Also ... that GORGEOUS bow is just done by watercoloring some Petal Pink onto the watercolor paper and die-cutting. Love the color variance it gives, versus just a piece of cardstock.
But this card has so many fun details! DId you notice them all?!
I hope you enjoyed these tips & tricks on making this tag and card! I hope you give them a try cause they are SO MUCH FUN! Let me know if you have any questions or need help getting any of these fabulous Stampin' Up! supplies! ♡ THANK YOU so much for visiting!
