How to Make Gift Card Slider Cards Video Tutorial

Let's think beyond Graduation to Thank You Cards, Retirement Cards, Birthday Cards, and Baby Cards.  You can make all 5 of these Gift Card Slider Cards with the retiring Witty-cisms stamp set (#151686).  This stamp set works for so many different occasions, but it is only available for a short time.  It will be available While Supplies Last or until June 2, 2020, whichever comes first, so scoop your stamp set up before it is gone for good.

The humor in the Witty-cisms stamp set is quirky and fun.  The other retiring product used for all 5 cards is the Best Dressed Designer Paper (#151319).  I love the soft and happy colors in this paper: Lovely Lipstick, Daffodil Delight, Blackberry Bliss, Basic Gray, Mint Macaron, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Purple Posy and Whisper White.

This is a Birthday Card, but I think that the "Lookin' Sharp" stamp could be used for other occasions too.

What a cute Baby Card!  Slip in a Gift Card from you favorite shop and you are good to go.

Hello Friends,

My sister recently welcomed a new Grandson into her family.  That makes little Tobin my Great Nephew.  Anyway, I thought that it might be fun to celebrate with a Double Pop-Up Baby Card made with the Welcome Easter stamp set by Stampin' Up!.  I just love these chubby little animals!

The front of this Grandbaby Card is pretty basic.  I stamped the lamb and the bee and lightly colored.  I followed up with a designer paper frame cut with my Stitched Shapes Dies, a light sprinkling of sequins and scrunched bow.  Let's take a peek at the inside and if you would like to see more detailed instructions, I'll share a Double Pop-Up Card Video Tutorial from last year.

The little pop-up bunny and chick are such an unexpected surprise especially since the card will mail flat in an envelope.  Want to learn how to make your own Double Pop-Up Cards?

Hello Friends,

Did you know that the Welcome Easter stamp set by Stampin' Up! works equally well for making Baby Cards and papercrafts?  Today's simple card does just that.  I simply stamped the chubby little bunny and the little one sentiment. Then, I added a few bits and pieces of designer paper and one crumbled bow.  Tada! It's a Baby Card!

Making a Baby Card

Stamp the bunny using Basic Gray ink.  Then, add a splash of Petal Pink and a teeny bit of shading. 

Stamp "Welcome to the World, Little One" using Mint Macaron ink.

Stack a few swatches of All Dressed Up Designer Paper.  Wow! I love this cheerful paper!  The happy colors and whimsical designs are just so fun.

Have you tried the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding yet?  It is so, so soft.  Hint: Tie a quick bow.  Don't overthink it.  Then, smoosh and crinkle your bow (the more crinkled, the better).  Follow these steps to make a perfect bow every time.

As the name implies, the Welcome Easter stamp set makes fabulous Easter Paper Crafts, too.

See yesterday's Blog Post to get the skinny on making this adorable Welcome Easter basket (purse).

Have a fabulous day,
