Long Class - Beautiful Cards
Come Craft and Laugh! This class features 6 cards you'll be able to personalize for the occasions you have coming up where you'll want to send a special message to a friend, family member, spouse or even a perfect stranger who made you feel special.  These cards use new stamps, punches and dies from the current, annual Stampin' Up! catalog. You'll learn a few new techniques, select your sentiments, and see how fast and easily you can dress up your cards with punches and die cuts and stamps.

Show loved ones how much you care by sending these thoughtful, beautiful handmade cards to celebrate special birthdays, let someone know your thinking of them, or a thank you for a deed you needed done.

Stampin' Up! Band Together with Daisies

  • Stampin' Up! Ban Together
  • Join my team; Get an extra US $30 in merchandise
  • Let's meet and make card together!  See upcoming classes

Stampin' Up! Band Together Stamp Set


I'm using the Stampin' Up! Band Together Stamp Set today and paired with with the Medium Daisy Punch and two embossing folders.  You'll love the cards you create with these Stampin' Up! products.  You can see the Band Together Stamp Set and the coordinating Detailed Bands Dies on page 121 in the Stampin' Up! annual catalog.  See project ideas using the Medium Daisy Punch on page 23 of the annual catalog, plus these recent posts.  You'll get so much use out of the Daisy punches:



    

     
Card idea using Stampin' Up! Band Together Stamp Set


The basecard for this card is Thick Whisper White.  Then a layer of Night of Navy.  Then a layer of Petal Pink dry embossed with the Tufted 3D Embossing Folder.  Then a smaller layer of Night of Navy dry embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing folder.
         

Card idea using the Detailed Bands Dies from Stampin' Up!



Then I created a Whisper White die cut using the Detailed Bands Dies.  I love our new dies!  When Stampin' Up! changed die manufacturers with the launch of the June annual catalog, I admit, I was skeptical.   Stampin' Up! has such high quality standards for products, that I couldn't perceive a vendor who provides us the same high-quality dies.  Boy, I sure didn't have to worry!  I love our new die vendor.  These detailed dies work wonderfully.  Just use the Die Brush to easily remove the detailed pieces on detailed dies.  I actually think our new dies are better quality than our previous dies.  Would love to hear your opinion on our new dies!     

The Detailed Bands Die also includes the dies for the oval sentiment layer, which are stamped in Night of Navy Ink, and the open leaves, which are die cut from Old Olive..  Then I used the Medium Daisy punch and whisper White Card stock to create the two Daisies.  The Daisy centers were created using the Daisy Delight Stamp Center.  Its larger than needed, so I used a circle punch to cut it to the size needed for my Daisy.    Think of your favorite color combinations and CASE this card with your own combination!
