Onstage Roommate Gifts with Boardwalk Fun

 


Onstage was in March and I am just sharing the gifts 
I made for my room mates! 
Since Onstage was in Long Beach, California, I used the Boardwalk Fun Bundle with palm trees to create each gift! 
*Boardwalk Fun is part of the retiring items in May but the DSP will still be available. 


I made a cute holder for earnings with a matching 3 x 3 card. 


I used the Designer Series Paper to create this frame along with some letter dies. 
I love the mini card to match.


All four mini cards! 


This bag is what inspired the color scheme for this card! 

Hope these cards inspire you to make something fun using the Boardwalk Fun Bundle!

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!

Thanks Man Birthday Card

 


Here is my Stamp & Share Crew Design for April 
using a COMING SOON stamp set, 
Thanks Man. 
This set is perfect for making guy cards, well let's face it, isn't always the easiest!
I have two teenager boys and this will be a great card for them to give to one of their friends! 
Products I use will be available to everyone in May, or you can order now as a Stampin' UP! Demonstrator with the pre-order products! 


Thanks Man

·       Smoky Slate: 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored @ 4 ¼”, 4” x 5 ¼”, 4” x 3 ½”

·       Basic Black: 3” x 1 ¼”, ½” x 1 ½”

 

Instructions:

 

1.     Measure, score, and cut your paper.

2.     Put the 3 stamp greetings onto one clear block (staggered), “Dude”, “You’re Old” and “Bro”. Stamp onto the 4” x 5 ¼” Smoky Slate the greetings to create a background look (about 5 times).

3.     Dry emboss with the Forever Plaid with the 4” x 5 ¼” Smoky Slate. Use a Sponge Dauber and Smoky Slate ink to rub ink onto the top left corner and bottom right corner. Glue to the card front.

4.     Use the Phrases & Frames die to cut out the Smoky Slate frame. Flip it over, with the paper in the die, and run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Impressions Plate. Take the Sponge Dauber and Smoky Slate ink to go over the embossed frame. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals (cut in half or the mini ones), to attach the frame at a slant.

5.     Heat emboss with the Heat Tool, Versamark, and Basic White Embossing Powder. I stamped the “Happy Birthday” onto a big piece of Basic Black and then used my Paper Trimmer to cut it to be ½” wide. Stamp the “bruh” and heat emboss and then trim to fit. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach over the frame.

6.     Embellish with 3 Metallic Gems.


Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
