#SU Simple Sunday Penguin Place Card

 Do you ever need just a simple card? You know, one that doesn't take a whole lot of supplies in order to make a cute or beautiful card? If so, then I think this card just might be what you are looking for.


Here are the measurements:

Gray Granite: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" and scored along the 8-1/2" side at 4-1/2"
Basic White: 4" x 5-1/4" (inside); and scraps for the penguin die
Merry Merlot: 1/2" x 3" (scraps from trimming for layers work great here)
Penguin Playmates DSP: 2" x 5-1/2", penguin from one part to punch out (or you could "fussy-cut" another image)

I hope you'll check out my YouTube tutorial for this quick and fun card:

#SU! Counting Sheep Double Easel Card Tutorial

 


I have to admit that when I first saw the Counting Sheep and Sheep Dies in the August-September 2021 Sale-a-Bration Brochure, I loved them! Not sure if it is just their adorable images or the fact that they remind me of a good friend, gone too soon, who loved sheep. 

In any case, when I was putting together the card for the August Mystery Stamping (a free class on Zoom that I do once a month, and it's FREE!) the Counting Sheep stamp set was on the top of the list for stamp sets to use.

I hope you'll watch the video tutorial below that will guide you step-by-step on how quick this card goes together, but also where to place each piece. Here are the promised measurements:

Granny Apple Green cardstock: 11"x4-1/4", score at 5-1/2" (card base)
Basic White cardstock: 10-1/4"x4", score at 5-1/4" & 7-3/4" (this is the easel part); 4"x5-1/4" (inside); scraps for sheep & cloud, about 3-1/2"x1" (front greeting)
Crushed Curry cardstock: scraps for sun die
Soft Suede cardstock: scraps for fence die
Pattern Party Designer Series Paper: 5"x3-3/4"; 2-1/4"x3-3/4" (stripe); 2-1/4"x3-3/4" (floral)

#SU! Beautifully Penned SAB Congratulations

This month at my monthly stamp club, we made cards using just the stamp set from the Hand-Penned Petals bundle. The card I'm sharing with you today was the last card we made. It incorporates the coordinating designer series paper, Beautifully Penned from the August-September Sale-a-Bration brochure. You cannot purchase this designer series paper, however through September 30th (or while supplies last) you can get it for FREE when you spend $50 before shipping and tax on anything from the Annual or July-Dec Mini catalog!

FYI, just the purchase of the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set, the Banners Pick-a-Punch and the Rhinestone Jewels brings you to $50!😄

I know...what a deal!



I love the look of the black & white. However, you can color in the white in so many different ways. Here are the promised dimensions:

Basic Black cardstock: 4-1/4"x11", scored at 5-1/2"; 1-3/8"x4"
Basic White cardstock: 1/2"x2-1/2" (for banner greeting); 4"x5-1/4" (inside)
Beautifully Penned DSP: 4"x5-1/4" (floral); 1-1/4"x4" (stripe)

You can use so many different designer series papers with this layout. A great option following last month's DSP sale, not to mention your stash.  Come on, I know you've got one!

Please check out my tutorial video for this card. In it I share some alternative cards using different current papers.

#SU! Christmas Season Simple Elegance Card


When you participate in a swap with other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, you often get some great ideas! Such was the case this month for me. I received in the mail a swap I participated in (hint: I share the card sent to me in my video tutorial!) this month. My good friend often includes me in her team swaps, and I'm so grateful. I loved the layout and immediately thought of the Christmas Season stamp set.

This layout goes together so quickly that you could easily put together a stack of Christmas cards in no time. Change up the colors, and have a variety, or keep them all the same. Whatever you decide, I hope you'll try this out.

Here are the measurements for the card:

Sahara Sand cardstock: 5-1/2"x8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" horizontally 
Blackberry Bliss cardstock: 3-7/8"x5-1/8"
Basic White cardstock: 3-3/4"x5"; 4"x5-1/4" (inside); scrap for the greeting large enough to be cut from the Picture This Die
Vellum cardstock: 1-1/8"x3-1/2"
