(click here for retiring bundles).  SOME of the stamp sets and coordinating framelits will still be in the new catalog, like the Ribbon of Courage set I helped design in 2016 for my Million Dollar Sales achievement, but the 10% money saving bundle discount will no longer apply.  New bundles will be priced at the 10% savings.

Stampin' Blends Ribbon of Courage Heart cards

 Tis the season for thank you notes!

The Color Me Happy stamp set is a great one for Thank You notes!  It's an online purchase only, you won't find this set in a catalog.  You can purchase it by clicking on the links at the bottom of this blog post.

  Color Me Happy Thank You card featuring Ribbon of Courage heart image from Stampin' Up!. Both images colored with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. Note Card idea by Patty Bennett

 

After coloring the Thank You image with the Calypso Coral and Smokey Slate Stampin' Blends on Thick Whisper White cardstock, I die cut it with the Stitched Shape oval framelit. (remember to always stamp with the Black Memento Ink pad when coloring with Stampin' Blends).

I paired the Thank You image with the heart from the Ribbon of Courage set, and colored them both with the new Stampin' Up! Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. They color and blend beautifully!

BELOW: Check out this fun tip!!  Use the dotted border from the Swirly Snowflakes thinlits to add a fun little decorative strip to your handstamped card or project!

 

Use the dotted border from the Swirly Snowflake thinlits to embellish any DIY handmade card or project.  Supplies from Stampin' Up!. available at www.myStampOrder.com

 

I sat and colored a bunch of different images with my Stampin' Blends one day (it's total therapy for me! I've loved to color since I was a very young girl!).

Here is another card for you .. some of the same supplies as the card above, but I added a die cut in Bermuda Bay cardstock, cut with the Sunshine Wishes thinlits. 

Both cards feature a small strip of designer paper from the Delightful Daisy package.

Both cards are also created with the Stampin' Up! thick Whisper White note cards.

 

Thank you for joining me today! I hope you enjoyed these Stampin' Blends cards!

Love and Hugs Ribbon of Courage note card

 

Sending Love and Hugs to you!!  I love this sweet and thoughtful sentiment in the Ribbon of Courage stamp set!!

 

Ribbon of Courage note card - Sending Love and Hugs featuring Sweetheart Embossing folder from Stampin' UP!, by Patty Bennett

 

I also love how well the heart theme of this card pairs up with the Sweetheart Embossing folder from Stampin' Up!.  Find it on page 210 of the 2017 -2018 Annual Catalog or HERE online.

When you emboss with this folder, it leaves the heart shape flat (un-embossed) so that you can either stamp there, or add your own embellishment.  I added a stamped heart from the Ribbon of Courage stamp set on a die cut heart from the Sweet & Sassy framelit set.

Ribbon of Courage note card - Sending Love and Hugs featuring Sweetheart Embossing folder from Stampin' UP!, by Patty Bennett

This sweet, thick Whisper White note card is finished off with a piece of black and white plaid paper from the Merry Little Christmas pack (pg 12 of the 2017 Holiday catalog), and a silver foil doily and die cut flower and leaves from the Support Ribbon framelit set. 

Money Saving Bundle available here >> Ribbon of Courage Wood Mount Bundle!

The final finishing touch is the 3/8" Metallic-Edge Silver ribbon.

 

Ribbon of Courage note card - Sending Love and Hugs featuring Sweetheart Embossing folder from Stampin' UP!, by Patty Bennett

 

I die cut a flower and leaves from the Ribbon of Courage bundle (Support Ribbon framelits) and layered them on top of the silver foil doily.  Using Glue Dots to attach the embellishment layers is a quick and simple adhesive solution.

Ribbon of Courage Card Class for Lorita

 

A couple of months ago I offered an incentive to my Luv 2 Stamp Group, and the prize was a fully prepared class for 10 people with 4 projects for each attendee, featuring the Stampin' Up! Ribbon of Courage bundle!

Lorita was the winner, as she was the first to promote to Silver Elite in the Luv 2 Stamp Group within the specified time period!  So I mailed off these packets and the Ribbon of Courage Bundle to her so that she'd have a class all ready to go for 10 people!!  I hope they enjoyed it!

Ribbon of Courage Z fold swap card

 

Last month our Luv 2 Stamp group of demonstrators joined another group lead by Gina Cardera and we had a wonderful, informative day-long event featuring new Stampin' UP! products, business tips, lunch, make & take projects, and more!!  One of the fun parts of a demonstrator gathering is a card swap.   A card swap means you make several of one card (usually with a particular theme), and you bring them and "swap" with other demonstrators.  It's a great way to go home with a ton of new ideas!

The theme for our July event card swap was using any NEW products in the new 2017-2018 Stampin' Up! catalog, so I elected to use the Ribbon of Courage set and Support Ribbon framelit bundle.  See MORE about this bundle HERE.

 

With Faith all things are Possible, Ribbon of Courage Stampin' Up! swap card by Patty Bennett for the June Luv 2 Stamp Group demonstrator meeting.

 

I couldn't decide if I liked the Powder Pink ribbon on the side of the card or not... ultimately I made the cards without the ribbon... what's your preference?

I made a Z fold card using thick whisper white cardstock, Blushing Bride cardstock, Flirty Flamingo, Calypso Coral and Lemon Lime Twist cardstock, and the Fresh Florals paper stack.  See below in this post for the cutting and scoring instructions.

 

Z Fold With Faith all things are Possible, Ribbon of Courage Stampin' Up! swap card by Patty Bennett for the June Luv 2 Stamp Group demonstrator meeting.

 

Each flower center has a Clear Faceted Gem.. the perfect touch to give this card a little glitz!

 

If you need more info about the products I used, you can see all of them at the bottom of this blog post.  Clicking on any of the product photos in that list will also take you to my online Stampin' Up! store and you can easily order any of these products anytime!

I used Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the layering ovals scallop shapes that highlighted the die cut ribbons.  I stamped the ribbons in Flirty Flamingo ink and die cut them with the corresponding framelit.

Craft Tip! Adhere tiny die cuts or punched pieces to a roll of glue dots so they are ready to use on your crafting project!

Ribbon of Courage HOPE fold out banner featuring Stampin' Up! Ribbon of Courage bundle and Bundle of Love specialty designer paper with Gold Foil Large Alphabet framelit letters.  By Patty Bennett

 

I started with the idea of making a pink HOPE banner for my friend Roxanne, and so I grabbed my Ribbon of Courage stamp set and matching Support Ribbon framelits, and the Bundle of Love designer paper, pg 189 #144143, and then saw the gorgeous vanilla, Blushing Bride and Gold color combo and I thought that was just the perfect color scheme for this project!

I made this by sticking 4 note card size envelopes together and covering them with Blushing Bride cardstock (cut to 3-1/2 x 5") and then panels of the gold/vanilla and pink/vanilla Bundle of Love paper.

I taught my friends Joy and Roxanne how to make these HOPE banners, and brought all the supplies when we got together... we had a great time creating them!  Roxanne's team for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is called Team Hope, so I knew she'd love this project!  Can you think of someone who might like this, or gain some comfort knowing you are thinking of them!?

I added a stamped and die cut heart and support ribbon, as well as a die cut flower from the Support Ribbon Framelits to this project all with Blushing Bride ink or cardstock.

I really love all the special touches of Gold on this project.  I used Gold Foil paper for the Layering Oval scallops, for the Large Alphabet letters, for the Decorative Ribbon punch detail, the gold edge ribbon and the Gold Faceted Gem in the center of the flower die cut!

Each Gold scalloped oval is die cut with Gold Foil paper (#132622) and is layered with a die cut gold foil letter using the Large Alphabet framelits.  Each letter is on a Whisper White Stitched Edge oval framelit. I loved the elegance of these simple letters!

 Did you notice the pretty Decorative Ribbon punch border also in the gold foil paper!?  SO PRETTY!

Rose Garden Thinlit Watercolor Cards

 

Flowers flowers flowers... I love flowers and I love creating Stampin Up! cards with flower stamps, flower die cuts and floral printed paper!  Today's handstamped card features all 3!

 

Rose Garden thinlit floral cards on  watercolor background paper featuring Stampin Up! ink, paper, dies and stamps, by Patty Bennett

I enjoyed creating several cards using the Rose Garden thinlit die and some watercolor paper I had left over from my High Tide Lighthouse cards (here).  After I was done making several High Tide cards, I set aside the left over watercolored backgrounds and I knew I'd enjoy making something with them at a future date. 

And.. ta-da! I used the leftover watercolor backgrounds with the Rose Garden thinlit and die cut pretty roses and leaves in my Big Shot!!  I also die cut some dragonflies with the Detailed Dragonfly thinlits and the same watercolored backgrounds.

On the card above, I also decided to lightly stamp the floral image from the Wood Words stamp set over the water color background. I love how it turned out!  Click HERE to see how to make that smoosh watercolor background!

I made the card above in May for Christine's birthday in June.  I added the Live every moment sentiment from the Ribbon of Courage stamp set to the front, and also decided, why not make the inside pretty as well?  I had the Wood Words flower stamp out, and an extra dragonfly die cut.. so.... this is what I did...

 Easy crafting tip to adhere the dragonfly die cut to your card:

Craft TiP! use your paper piercer, and pick up glue dots to place on your die cuts!

 

These are some of the backgrounds I created for the High Tide cards, and I die cut the large roses and leaves, as well as the dragonflies out of the left over pieces.

White Perfect Accents are great for flower centers, and the Powder Pink ribbon looks great on this card, too!

 I added a strip of Powder Pink "Fresh Florals" designer paper on the right edge of this card to pull in that pretty pink color and more flowers.
