#SU! Cup of Tea Simple Thank-You Card

 Each month I make thank-you cards for my customers that place orders with me. My stamp club members are no different! Because for the next couple of months stamp club is using the Cup of Tea bundle, I wanted to use the same for this month's thank-you.

I like to give simple ideas that can be reproduced easily. And that is exactly what this card layout does. I hope you enjoy it!

Here is the video tutorial where I share tips and a fun technique to add depth:

#SU! Seas the Day Paper-Pieced Shaker Card

Have you ever purchased a stamp set or stamp bundle and not gotten around to using it? I'd love to say that never happens to me, but...

That is the case for this fun bundle, Seas the Day! As I've mentioned before this past spring had some unexpected bumps for our family in addition to big things that we did plan. So, needless to say I didn't spend as much time in my stamp room as I'd hoped to. 

With the January-June Mini catalog on it's way out, I pulled out this fun bundle and oh, my! What a fun bundle it is, and I'm so sad that it won't be sticking around.


While working on designing a card, it seemed to be almost asking to be a shaker card. And I just didn't like a single-color front. So, I added a paper-pieced front to incorporate more color.

Back on December 15th of 2020, I made a similar shaker card using the Snowman Season bundle.

I hope you'll watch my assembly video where I share tips and tricks learned from this process. 


As promised in the video, here are the measurements:

Basic White Thick cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored along the 8-1/2" side at 4-1/4"

Basic White cardstock: 3-7/8" x 5-1/8"; 1" x 1-1/2"; scraps large enough to stamp fish, crab/starfish

Coastal Cabana cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4", cut using the water-scene die

Granny Apple Green cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4", cut using the water-scene die just enough so all the sea-weed are cut; 1-1/8" x 1-5/8" (for layering under the greeting)

Calypso Coral cardstock: 4" x 2", cut using the water-scene die just enough so the coral gets cut

#SU! Honeybee Blessings Card

First, I want to say thank-you to all my wonderful stamping customers! 

It's been a dry number of months in my stamping space between my sweet mother-in-law (that's not a typo) passing away and the sale of our Colorado home and transition of moving to Arizona! However, I am trusting that a season of consistent posting and sharing of videos is ahead. 


Each month I send thank-you notes to all who order from me. This month, being in a bit of a stamping-funk, I reached out to a blog that focuses on stamping challenges for inspiration: TGIFChallenges

If you find yourself in a bit of a stamping funk, a sketch challenge can help spur some inspiration for you too. 

All the supplies that I used can be found in the images below. And, if you want to order any of them it's easy to do so; just click on the image and you'll be taken to my SU! online store. Let me know if you have any questions!

As promised, here are the measurements:

Basic Gray cardstock: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" along the 8-1/2" side; 2-1/4" x 2-3/4" (cut using the oval frame from Fabulous Frames dies)

Basic White cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4" (inside); 2" x 2-1/2" (cut using the oval frame from Fabulous Frames dies); scrap for stamping the bumble bee (then cut using the coordinating die from the Honeybee Home bundle)

Heart & Home Designer Series Paper: 2 designs 
Woodgrain design: 2-1/4" x 4-1/2"
Honeybee design: 2-1/4" x 4; 3/4" x 4

Brushed Metallic cardstock: Bronze finish, 1/2" x 5"
