Veteran Thank You Cards

 I am so impressed with all of the Veteran Thank You cards that I have been receiving and can't wait to share them all with you.

Here are cards that I received from Debbie Vine, she outdid herself!





Debbie has been busy using her retired Designer Series Papers, this was such a good idea that is exactly what I did also!! I thank you Debbie for making a total of 115 cards for this great cause.

You know, you can also participate and I would love it if you did. Here are the guidelines:

  • Red/White Blue colors (Either in Cardstock, Design or Ink)
  • White piece of paper on the inside (for messages that they will write) We don't write the messages. We can add a strip of DSP or a star for decorations.
  • Does not have to be Stampin' Up!
  • Clean and simple is great!!
  • No envelopes
Deadline is June 1, 2026

Thanks for stopping in, take care.
Cindy

Just a Note

Sometimes I have left over class supplies and rather than just file them away, I make them up into a card. Because you know if I don't do it right away it just sits on my desk.

Here is a card that all I did was change the base card,


Project Recipe:

STAMP SETS: Fragrant Layers

INK: Misty Moonlight

PAPER: Misty Moonlight Base, White Layer, Floral Charm DSP, Highland Heather

ACCESSORIES: Fragrant Layer Dies, Dimensionals, Adhesive Strip

Here is the class card:


So you see by just changing a couple of things, I have a whole new card. I like how they both turned out.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great and creative week.

Cindy

Stampin' Up! Your New Favorite Background is Here!

Looking for a fun and simple background? This is it! 







Wow Tip: Create a Custom Background with One Die
Bring creative potential to the foreground for your customers using a background die. A number of different looks are waiting to be discovered when you cut the same background from several different patterns or colors and piece them together.


Step 1: Cut the background die shape from five different colors of cardstock.


Step 2: Cut the four colors into rows and adhere them to the Basic White background. (Tip: You’ll have enough pieces to make several cards.)

Step 3: Stamp the flower in VersaMark ink and add clear embossing powder. Tap to remove any excess powder and emboss using a heat tool. (Tip: Before stamping and adding embossing powder, lightly dust the cardstock with the Embossing Buddy to prevent static.)

Thanks for stopping by!
Cindy

Facebook Live Replay - Service Essentials

 Stampin' Up! is coming out with a new stamp set and dies, Service Essentials. I have been hoping to get this sort of stamp set and it is exactly what I wanted!! While it won't be available to order until March 3rd, I couldn't wait to share it with you!

Here is a close up of the card, it is an Angled Gatefold card.


Here is a picture of the inside of the card.


You will notice that because this card will be going to the Veterans Honor Flight, the inside is blank. The Wisconsin Badger Girls will be writing messages as part of  one of their projects at their annual conference in June.

Project Recipe:

STAMP SETS: Service Essentials (Online Exclusive - Available March 1st)

INK: Blueberry Bushel, Real Red

PAPER: Azure Afternoon Base, Everyday Skies DSP, Made with Love DSP, Silver Foil, White Inside & White Scraps

ACCESSORIES: Service Essentials Dies

CUTTING & SCORING:

  • Azure Afternoon 11" x 5 1/2" Score 3 3/8" on each end
  • Everyday Skies & Made with Love DSP 2 7/8" x 5, cut one of each
  • Silver Foil 3 1/8" x 5 1/4", cut 2
  • White Inside 5" x 3 3/4"
  • White Scraps 1" x 5" (3)
Helpful Hint, I cut two templates that measured 3 1/8" x 5 1/4" one for the left and one for the right. Measure in from the top left 1 3/4" and cut at an angle. Then measure 1" from the bottom left corner and cut at an angle. Do this again for the right side.

Now sit back and enjoy the video:

If you would like to get in on the fun and make some Veteran Thank You cards, I would so appreciate it. I am looking for cards with Red/White/Blue (Either in Cardstock, Design or Ink). White piece of paper on the inside simply decorated, the white pieces should be blank for messages to written by the Badger Girls. Does not have to be all Stampin' Up!, Clean and Simple is Great! And finally, no envelopes. Deadline to get them to me is June 1st, 2026.

Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to watch my videos and view my blog. I appreciate you all.
Cindy
