  • Safari Sale-A-Bration February Paper Pumpkin Kit
Ever get emotional about a stamp set?  The moment I saw the Calming Camellia Stamp set as a Free Host gift in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure, I knew I needed to add it to my permanent stamp collection.   No doubt, if you're like me, you have your current stamp sets that rotate through your craft room as long as they remain in the catalogs.  But then you have your shelves of wonderful stamp sets to which you've formed a special bond.  These long-time stamp sets help you create beautiful cards every single time you put ink to paper.  Calming Camellia will be one of those sets.  This is one of those sets that I know I'll use long after Sale-A-Bration 2022 has ended.  Today, I'm using it primarily with Fresh Freesia and Shaded Spruce.  I love the sentiments in this set.  I love the floral in this set. I love stamp sets that eliminate the guesswork in creating beautiful cards.  To finish today's cards, I added a piece of the new White 3/4" Frayed Ribbon and a few Coastal Cabana Rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels pack. Best of all, this stamp set is FREE with a $300 personal order or a party order totalling $300 (not including tax and shipping) during Sale-A-Bration.  This bonus Host set is in additional to the Free Sale-A-Bration product selections for every $50 or $100 you spend until 28 February 2022.
  

Handmade Floral greeting card using Stampin' Up! Calming Camellia


To create this card, I began with a basecard of Thick Basic White Cardstock.  Then a layer of Fresh Freesia, and then a layer of Basic White Cardstock. 



Handmade Floral Greeting Carding uing Stampin' Up! Calming Camellia Sale-a-Bration Host Stamp Set

I stamped the floral image in Fresh Freesia ink at the top and bottom of the image layer.  Then I stamped the foliage from this set in Shaded Spruce three times.  I found I needed to be careful of the stems from the flowers and the foliate and I matted areas where I didn't want stems to show.  Most of them are covered by the ribbon.  

Two floral handmade greeting cards created with the Stampin' Up! Calming Camellia Host Stamp Set from sale-A-Bration 2022

Then I added a piece of 3/4" White Frayed Ribbon across the area where the two floral images met.  I used the Layering Circles Dies to die cut a Basic White circle from my sentiment and a Fresh Freesia scalloped circle matte which I offset to one side of my sentiment.   The sentiment is stamped in Fresh Freesia Ink.  I tried stamping it in Shaded Spruce as well, and it was equally beautiful in either color.  In finished the card by adding three Coastal Cabana Rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels pack.  To get the results you want when you stamp, adding the Calming  Camellia set to your collection is sound decision.

Fun Handmade Card ideas using the Stampin' Up! Happy Hedgehogs Bundle

  

  • Stampin' Up! Happy Hedgehogs Bundle
  • Coordinating Hedgehog Builder Punch  
  • Order the Safari Celebration Paper Pumpkin Kit by 10 February 2022 
I have two more swap cards I want to share today.  I'm still showcasing cards I received during a recent Demonstrator card swap.   The product bundle I'm showcasing today is the Happy Hedgehogs bundle, on page 64 of the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog.  I love that the stamp set includes images that work with the Hedgehogs, but also work on their own. I'm madly in love with the small butterfly stamp in this set.  You see more project ideas using this bundle on page 64, in addition to the two cards I'm showing today.  In addition to the Hedgehog Builder Punch, these cards also use Blends markers to color the butterfly and blossoming tree image and Basic Rhinestones for a little bling in the center of the flowers. 

Full recipes for each card, below. 

Two Handmade Card ideas using Happy Hedgehogs Bundle from Stampin' Up! January-June 2022 Mini Catalog


The first card is from Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Susan Ricks.  The base card is Early Espresso Cardstock.  Then a layer of Crumb Cake Cardstock.  The image layer is Basic White.  The image stamped on the Basic White are all stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and then colored with Blends:  So Saffron for the butterflies, and Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and Ealey Espresso for the blooming tree.  The sentiment is also stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

The next card is from Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Sandy Haynes.   She began with a basecard of Coastal Cabana Cardstock.  She cut an opening in the card using the Layering Circle Dies.  Then she die cut a larger circle in Basic white for her image.  She stamped the butterflies from the Happy Hedgehogs Stamp Set in Coastal Cabana over the surface of the Coastal Caban cardstock layer.  She Stamped the flowering tree image in Early Espresso, and colored the image with Old Olive, Flirty Flamingo and crumb Cake.  The centers of the flowers are Basic Rhinestones.
