Hi Stamping Friends!
Well, here we are, with the clocking ticking down to the final moments of the most awesome Stampin' Up! promotion of the year! I'm always a little sad, because there are always so many cute stamp sets and accessories that I have to say goodbye to. And, there are so many projects that I "wanted" to get made before those awesome products were gone for good. *sigh*
The Happy Hello Simply Sent Card Kit (#130149) from the Sale-A-Bration flyer is one of those selections that I never used to its full potential. You can certainly do quick and cute cards, but I love to see how we can alter these pre-printed cards for fun!
I started playing around with the kit a few weeks ago and tried out these two cool projects…
Here I added a small strip of Floral District Designer Series Paper to the front, and adhered some coordinating Tangerine Tango card stock to the inside.
I wrapped the card front with Primrose Petals Stitched Satin Ribbon, tied it in a double-knot and trimmed for a faux-bow.
The flower embellishment was created with the Blossom Punch and more Floral District DSP. I layered three punches together and slit each petal between the scallops, curving them upward to create even more dimension.
The center of the flower uses yellow accents from the Happy Hello Kit. The middle is one of the Floral District DSP flowers punched with the Boho Blossoms Punch and topped with a Rhinestone Jewel. Fun!
The second project uses two Happy Hello notecards to make a cute purse! I CASEd this idea from Lyssa Griffin Zwolanek at Song of My Heart Stampers, and you can find her photo tutorial there.
You simply score the first card at 3" and 5-1/2", and with the score that's already there, it will make a "W" fold. Adhere the other card to the back of the first card. Add some Basic Gray 1/4" Stitched Ribbon for a handle, and some Velcro for a closure and you're good to go! It's cute way to give a gift card, don't you think?!
