#SU! This Birthday Piggy Simple-Background

I'm not exactly sure where I first saw this technique, but such a simple technique gives a wonderful interest to the background of the most simple of cards. So, when I was laying with the This Birthday Piggy stamp set and coordinating Playful Piggy Dies (available for a limited time starting September 1st) this technique seemed the perfect one to use.

Make sure to check out my video for how simple this technique is:


I share a few other samples in my video of other cards I created using this fun die set.

Measurements:

Crumb Cake cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" & scored at 4-1/4" along the 8-1/2" side
Pool Party cardstock: 3-1/4" x 3-1/4" & cut using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies
Basic White cardstock: 3" x 2-1/2" to stamp the piggy and butterfly; 4" x 5-1/4"

Products used can be found below, and if you don't already have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I'd love to be yours. Simply click on the images below and you'll be taken directly to my online store to place your order.

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2". With simple scoring and folding, it goes together very quickly. Another demonstrator had shared the calendar file that is printed onto printer paper and cut to size. All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...

#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...
