Sealed With a Kiss Card Scrapbook Expo
This Sealed With a Kiss card is easy to make thanks to Stampin' Up!'s Blossom Petals Builder and the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punches. Christi Beck and I decided to use this card as our Stampin' Up! Take and Make at the Scrapbook Expo at the Gaylord Texan. It's a Take and Make because after you stamp and punch the items, you can take it home to assemble.
Here are the instructions for the card. If you didn't get one of our kits, cut Whisper White card stock to 8 1/2" by 5 1/2" and fold. Cut Early Espresso card stock to 2 3/4" x 4". Cut Wisteria Wonder card stock to 2 1/2" x 3 3/4" and emboss using the honeycomb embossing folder. The Early Espresso Bakers Twine is cut 10". Note, Christi and I designed this card together and each cut half of the kits. The funny thing was that she cut her Wisteria Wonder and Early Espresso a slightly different size. So we each put our personal touch on our kits! They look the same at the end.
Punch the kiss out of silver glimmer paper using the largest petal in the Blossom Petals Builder Punch. When you cut a 1 1/2" strip of silver glimmer paper, you can line up the paper in the punch to make the kiss by leaving out the scalloped end of the petal. "For You" comes from the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set and "Sealed with a Kiss" comes from the new Sent With Love stamp set.
Put your adhesive on the back, fold the bakers twine in half and fold to the back.
When you turn it over, it will look like this.
Add adhesive to the other items, including a Stampin' Dimensional on the Sealed with a Kiss scallop circle.
Assemble and enjoy your Sealed with a Kiss card.

Easter and Dress Up Cards
This Easter Egg card was made using Stampin' Up!'s Oval Framelits. Several of the people in my stamp club picked this as their favorite project because it was quick, easy and different from a traditional card. To make the card, I first cut an oval from the Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper in the Sale-A-Bration catalog.
The card body was cut using the same oval framelit (largest one without the scalloped edge). To make the card, cut and fold a piece of Whisper White card stock. Line up the framelit so that one part of the folded edge is inside the oval so it won't be cut. When you run it through the Big Shot, you'll end up with an oval card.
Decorate your designer series paper egg and adhere to the card body. The flower comes from Stampin' Up!'s Pop-Up Posies kit in the Spring catalog.
This second card was my personal favorite. It's mostly because I love those little bunnies! The Ears To You stamp (132659 $6.95) is one of several single stamps that Stampin' Up! is offering. The bunnies are heat embossed with white embossing powder on Stampin' Up!'s Twitterpated Designer Series Paper. When you sponge on Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder, the bunnies stand out from the pink background.
One of the things that I like about clear mount stamps is that you can cut them apart and space them out on a clear block. You can see how I cut the sentiment apart from the rest of the stamp to make room for the ribbon.
The last card for my February stamp club was inspired by a swap card that I got at Stampin' Up!'s Dallas Regional event. Based on the swap cards I have seen, the Dress Up Framelits have been the most popular framelits from the Spring catalog. I've seen many different versions of the dresses. Everyone in club had fun decorating the dress they way they liked it using the rhinestone jewels. Several people decorated the neckline and one person made a rhinestone belt. That is why little black dresses are so popular. They look different based on the accessories you use! And this is one of my favorite quotes from the Feel Goods stamp set.
