Sometimes we just need that cute card for a friend for no reason at all, right?  Or maybe you want to tuck in a little Starbucks gift card with a quick note... well, this is the perfect card for that!  The Perfect Blend Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! is so dang cute and you can dress it up almost like paper dolls with a patterned paper cup wrapper, different color lid, embellishments, etc.!

You will find the Perfect Blend stamp set on pg 37 of the current Annual Stampin' Up! catalog. See below for my tip on stamping the cup wrapper on separate designer paper, then cutting them out to create all different looks on the coffee cups.

I enjoyed embellishing my cups a bit... the Hello sweet friend greeting comes from the Six-Sided Sampler (hexagon) stamp set, currently found on pg 125 of the Annual Stampin' Up! catalog. The sweet little flower is a punch called the Petite Flower Punch, available in the limited time Occasions catalog, pg 33.

You will find the enjoy sentiment in the Simply Celebrate stamp set on pg 30 in the Occasions catalog.. . I LOVE that stamp set!

The candy dot just finishes off the enjoy sentiment perfectly!

And seriously, who doesn't like festive red and white polkadots?! Too cute, right?  Those are from the Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper pack.  I embossed the background with the Honeycomb embossing folder, too.

STAMPING TIP: This is what I meant above when I said this set is kind of like "paper dolls"... you can stamp each section of the cup on different paper, cardstock, patterned paper, etc., cut them out and layer them like paper dolls!

Hexagon Hive Heart Shaped Card

 

Hexagons are HOT!

Have you noticed how trendy they are in the crafting and decorating world? I am SUPER EXCITED to share this Hexagon Hive Heart card with you today!  I shared this with Cindee and Lisa this week at our monthly stamping day, and they loved it!  I got the idea from my customer Cathi Diener. She created hers with the Hexagon Embossing Folder, and I did mine with the Hexagon Hive Framelit.

This fun heart card features the Stampin' Up! Hexagon Hive framelit and heart framelit, die cut with the Big Shot, and the fun bright Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper (DSP), from the Occasions Catalog.

I know.. you are thinking.. wait.. what?  How can a Hexagon be a Heart!?

I've got the step by step tutorial for you below!

We added a layer of Fancy Foil Siver Vellum over the printed Fresh Prints Paper for the background, to soften the background print a little and to add another element of hearts!

 

Are you going to try one of these fun cards? Which DSP will you use?

Do you love Hexagons?

They are super trendy!

I'll admit it... I had not had time to play with the Hexagon Hive frameilt Big Shot die yet. This is a new product in the 2014 Stampin' Up! Occasions "Celebrate the Everyday" catalog.  So, you can imagine how excited I was when Cindee pulled out this project for us to make when we were stamping together last week!!  Lisa made one too!

You Make Me Happy from the Happy Watercolor stamp set was stamped on a die cut banner in Island Indigo.  The base card (4-1/4" x 11" folded in 1/2) is also Island Indigo.

<< Hexagon Hive Framelit,

page 26, Occasions Catalog

#132965

As you can see from this product photo, the framelit cuts out hexagon shapes randomly and leaves some of the paper in the design.

Cindee's card uses this framelit in such a unique way.. the Whisper White Hexagon Hive die cut is placed OVER a piece of Watercolor Wonder Designer paper, so that the color and pattern show through!

LOVE IT!

We decorated the card front with punched out flowers from the new Petite Petal punch (pg 33 in the Occasions catalog).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think you'll agree with me.. the flowers look really great when you sponge the edges just a bit.. I love that special touch, along with the Pearls in the centers!!!

 For info about punching the flowers out of the Watercolor Wonder Paper, see my previous blog post here.

How fun is this... I used an 99 cent pack of 5x7 Index Cards from the office supply store and die cut them with the TOP NOTE DIE in my Stampin' Up! Big Shot for a fun twist inside my cards!

I LOVE to write on lined paper.. so this was somethin' cool for a change!
