This Outdoor Barbecue card is made for the Cards 4 Guyz Challenge #239: Use ink and/or Paint.
I used Stampin’ Up! products to make this card. The ink colors are: Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate and Memento. The cardstock are: Basic Black, Real Red and Whisper White. The stamp set is Outdoor Barbecue. I made the utensils using Silver Foil cardstock and the Apron Builder framelits.
Measurements: Whisper White Card stock (CS): 11 x 4 1/4 scored at 5 1/2 inches, 5 1/8 x 3 7/8 inches and 3 1/8 x 2 1/2 inches; Basic Black 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 inches and 3 1/4 x 2 5/8 inches. The Silver Roil (not shown) is 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches. I later added the red strip to the card front which is 3 7/8 x 1 1/2 inches of Real Red CS .
I stamped the sentiment “Love is in the Air -Oh wait, that’s BBQ” and the grill in Memento ink onto the 3 1/8 x 2 1/2 inch piece of Whisper White CS.
After squeezing the Smoky Slate ink pad, I used the Stampin’ Up! Blender Pen to apply a light color to the grill.
Clean the Blender Pen on a scrap of paper by writing until the tip is clear again. I used the Crumb Cake ink to for the wood on the grill.
The hamburger is done in Crumb Cake ink. The ketchup bottle is in Real Red ink and the flames are in Pumpkin Pie ink.
Next, adhere the stamped piece to the largest Basic Black CS. Adhere this to the card front. Adhere the barbecue grill to the smaller Basic Black CS.
I originally was going to adhere the barbecue grill to the card directly onto the stamped piece. I thought this looked a little “blah”, so I decided to add a Real Red CS strip.
I used the Black Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the stamped grill piece to add dimension to the card front.
Finally I added the Silver Foil utensils. Viola! You have a really nice card for your favorite guy!
My kids are all grown and I can remember each birthday. One theme was mermaids. Another was NASCAR. Each child sure had their own idea for the birthday party. It was loads of fun! The Birthday Bonanza Suite brings back memories of a circus birthday theme one of my kids had.
This is a lighthearted card made with the Bonanza Buddies Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up!. And making this card is really very simple.
Measurements: Whisper White Card stock (CS) 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches scored at 4 1/4 inches, 3 x 2 1/2 inches and 2 1/4 x 1 1/4 inches; Bermuda Bay CS 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 inches and 5 3/8 x 1 1/2 inches; Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper (DSP) 5 1/4 x 4 inches and 5 3/8 x 1 1/4 inches.
You will also need a piece of the Birthday Bonanza DSP with a toucan and balloons. Let’s get started!
Tip: The Bonanza Buddies is a Photopolymer stamp set so you will need the Stampin’ Pierce Mat to get the best image. Use Bermuda Bay ink to stamp the sentiment “Happy Birthday” onto the 2 1/4 x 1 1/4 inch piece of Whisper White CS.
The lion is a Two-Step Stamp. I tried stamping the mane first, then the lion’s body first and felt that it was easier to stamp the mane first. Use Mango Melody ink to stamp the lions mane and tail. Next use the Daffodil Delight ink to stamp the lion’s body by lining up the lions face with the mane and the tail with the tail tuft.
Use the Smoky Slate ink to stamp the koala bear. Next use the Memento ink to stamp the two different faces on to the respective animals.
Fussy cut the lion and koala bear. If you do have a Big Shot you can use the Bonanza Dies to cut the animals out.
Fussy cut the toucan and balloons from the Bonanza Birthday DSP.
Fold the 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch Whisper White CS on the 4 1/4 inch score line and use the Bone Folder to get a nice crisp fold. This is your card base.
Adhere the 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 inch Bermuda Bay CS to the front of the Whisper White card base.
Adhere the 5 3/8 x 1 1/4 inch Birthday Bonanza DSP to the 5 3/8 x 1 1/2 inch Bermuda Bay CS. Now adhere the strip to the card front as shown.
Trim the sentiment banner about 1/4 inch. Make a small cut in the center of the right side in preparation of cutting a banner edge.
Make a cut from the top corner to the end of the center cut. Do the same for the bottom corner. Viola! This is the easy way to make a centered banner end.
Apply Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the animals and the sentiment banner. Tip: To make the Dimensionals last longer, cut them in half.
Adhere the animals and the sentiment banner to the card front.
Viola! You are now ready to send off a cheery circus themed card to a special young one!
Thanks for joining me today for this wonderful birthday card. This set is so much fun! I will show another card I made with this stamp set at the end of the week. Please join me then.

So much of life is just, well difficult. We all have our struggles. Sending a handmade card with positive thoughts can really make someone’s day and lift their spirits.
This card is very colorful, springy and sends a positive message. The colors are Mint Macaron, So Saffron, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.
Measurements: Whisper White card stock (CS): 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches with a score at 4 1/4 inches, 5 x 3 3/4 inches and 4 x 2 inches;Garden Lane Designer Series Paper (DSP): 5 1/4 x 4 inches.
The technique I am going to show you today is Multi-layer Stamping. This is when you stamp several layers on top of each other. It is much easier than you would think!
Start with the main sentiment “Sending positive thoughts and feel good wishes” in Balmy Blue ink.
Use a scrap paper to stamp off before stamping the next image of this sentiment. Stamping Off is when you ink your stamp, stamp on the scrap paper, then stamp on your card front.
Do this several times, Stamping Off each time, until you reach the top of the card front. Do not worry if each line is not perfectly straight. It will not be that obvious once you add the rest of the images.
Use the Mint Macaron ink to stamp the leaf onto the card front. Stamp a second time without re-inking to the right of the first leaf. Mine is so light it is difficult to see in this photo.
Stamp the flowers in So Saffron ink at full strength.
Stamp three of the butterflies in Highland Heather ink onto the 4 x 2 inch Whisper White CS.
Cut out the butterflies with your paper snips. If you do happen to have a Big Shot or other die cutting machine, there are Natures Thoughts Dies available for this stamp set.
To make the butterflies pop off of the card, use the Bone Folder to bend the wings back a bit. Do this gently so you do not tear the wing off.
Use the Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of each butterfly.
Adhere the butterflies to the left upper side of the card front.
Fold the Whisper White CS 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch card base at the 4 1/4 inch score line and use the Bone Folder to make a crisp fold. Next, adhere the 5 1/4 x 4 inch Garden Lane DSP to the front panel of the Whisper White CS card base.
Adhere the stamped card front onto to the Garden Lane DSP layer.
It is very hard to get a good photo of how sparkly this is. Try it and see for yourself!
And Viola! You now have a handmade card to send positive thoughts to someone to brighten their day!
Thank you again for joining me today. I hope you can find some creative time today and make something to spread some positive thoughts and kindness. We all need more kindness in today’s world! Be the change you want to see!

Hello! I hope you all enjoyed a long weekend for President’s Day. My family and I went to the local Renaissance Festival and had a great time. I am so grateful for my family and for fun activities!
Because I try to practice gratitude, I am always in need of a thank you note. This one is very quick and simple!
This thank you card is made using the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies and the Peaceful Moments stamp sets which are available in the 2020 Mini Catalog. Items in this catalog are available until March 31, 2020 (unless they run out).
Measurements: Whisper White card stock (CS) 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches scored at 4 1/4 inches for the card base and 3 3/4 x 3 inches; and Basic Black CS 3 7/8 x 3 1/8 inches. Yes, only 3 pieces of paper!
First I used some sticky note tape to cover the bottom 1 1/2 inches of the 3 3/4 x 3 inch piece of Whisper White CS. This is a masking technique. You will need Memento ink.
Stamp the field of poppies onto the Whisper White CS. Let dry before removing the sticky note tape.
Use a ruler and the fine tip of the Stampin’ Write Basic Black marker to draw a line under the field of poppies.
Stamp the “Thank You” sentiment in the Memento ink in the center of the bottom half.
Use the Light and Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers to color the poppies.
Fold the 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch Whisper White card base at the 4 1/4 inch score line. Use the Bone Folder to make the fold nice and crisp.
Adhere the stamped card piece to the 3 7/8 x 3 1/8 inch Basic Black CS.
Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Basic Black CS.
Adhere the Basic Black card piece to the Whisper White card base in the center of the front panel.
Now for some fun! The Whisper White 1/4 inch Crinkled Seam binding can be colored to any color with the Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Markers. I used the Dark Poppy Parade marker.
I just placed the ribbon on some scrap paper and colored it.
Tie a bow and adhere it to the card front with a Glue Dot.
Now for some Bling! The are Peaceful Poppy Sequins! Place a small dot of Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue where you would like to place the sequins. You could also try a Glue Dot.
And Viola! you have a really nice, simple and quick Thank You card!

Happy Valentine’s Day! I know it may be too late to send a Valentine’s Day card at this point, but I had fun making this one and wanted to share it with you. It is so simple!
This is the same photo as the last blog. Today I will go over how to make the card on the left.
This card uses the sentiment from a Stampin’ Up! stamp set in the Annual Catalog, Meant to Be.
Measurements:Whisper White card stock (CS): 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches scored at 4 1/4 inches and 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches; Real Red CS: 5 1/4 x 4 inches and 4 x 1 1/2 inches; From My Heart Designer Series Paper (DSP): 5 x 3 3/4 inches of the mosaic heart design, the red foil heart from the large foil heart design and a 3 3/4 x 1 1/4 inch strip of the foil dot design.
Stamp the sentiment “Happy Valentine’s Day” in Real Red ink onto the 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch Whisper White CS. This is a red rubber stamp so you do not need the Stampin’ Pierce mat.
The Heart Punch Pack contains two heart punches. One with a smooth edge and one with a scalloped edge.
Use the smooth-edged Heart Punch to punch the sentiment out.
Use the Scalloped-edged Heart Punch to punch out the red foil heart.
Apply Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the heart with the sentiment.
Adhere the sentiment heart to the scalloped red foil heart.
Adhere the mosaic heart pattern of the From My Heart DSP to the 5 1/4 x 4 inch Real Red CS.
Adhere the 3 3/4 x 1 1/4 inch foil dot pattern of the From My Heart DSP to the 4 x 1 1/2 inch Real Red CS.
Adhere the 4 x 1 1/2 inch Real Red CS with the dotted design of the From My Heart DSP to the heart mosaic design piece.
Use your Bone Folder to fold the 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch Whisper White CS on the 4 1/4 inch score line. This will give you a nice crisp fold. This is your card base.
Adhere the mosaic heart card piece to the front of the Whisper White CS card base.
Apply Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the heart sentiment piece.
Adhere the heart sentiment piece to the card front.

It’s Valentine’s week and it is not just for couples. This is a great time to let someone know just how much you love them.
These two Valentine’s Day cards are just wonderful for sharing your love. Today I will show you how to make the Two Hearts card.
This card is made with the Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt stamp set available in the 2020 Mini Catalog which you can view at my store.
Measurements: Whisper White Card stock (CS) 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches scored at 4 1/4 inches and 5 x 3 3/4 inches, Real Red CS 5 1/4 x 4 inches, From My Heart Designer Series Paper (DSP) 5 x 2 1/4 inches and a strip of the foil hearts from the From My Heart DSP.
Adhere the 5 x 2 1/4 inch From My Heart DSP to the bottom of the 5 x 3 3/4 inch Whisper White CS.
Tip: Since this stamp set is Photopolymer, use the Stampin’ Pierce mat to get the best image. Stamp the sentiment “Roses are red, Violets are blue” in Real Red ink onto the right side of the Whisper White CS portion, just above the border of the From My Heart DSP.
Use the Bone Folder to fold the 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch Whisper White CS at the 4 1/4 inch score line. This is your card base.
Stamp the sentiment “Being friends is better than eating candy (but let’s do that too)” on the inside of the Whisper White CS card base in Real Red ink.
Stamp a few heart doilies on the inside with Flirty Flamingo ink.
You can clean the extra ink off of the Stampin’ Pierce mat with a baby wipe or wet rag.
Punch out the foil hearts from the From My Heart DSP using the scalloped-edged heart punch from the Heart Punch Pack.
Adhere the stamped Whisper White card piece to the 5 1/4 x 4 inch Real Red CS.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon to the card piece. Tip: The easiest way to get the glue dot onto the ribbon is to press the ribbon on top of the glue dot while it is on the roll.
I also put a glue dot in the center of the ribbon to hold it in place, then flip the card piece over and adhere the ribbon to the back side.
Adhere the card piece to the front of the Whisper White card base, making sure the inside sentiment is in the proper orientation.
Apply Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Flirty Flamingo foil heart.
Tip: When you have used all the Dimensionals there is a border left behind. Cut into smaller pieces and use these as well.
Position the two foil hearts, then adhere the Real Red foil heart with Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Snail Adhesive.
Peel off the protective cover on the Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere the Flirty Flamingo foil heart over the top of the Real Red foil heart.
Use the pick end of the Take Your Pick tool to get under the adhesive of the rhinestone and move it into position on your card. Gently press on the rhinestone with your finger to secure it to the card and remove the pick.
I used three rhinestones.
And Viola! my fellow stampers! You have a wonderful card to send to share your love with someone special!

I just love to earn free stuff. During Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration, for every $50 you spend, you choose free stuff from the Sale-a-bration brochure. This card is made from the free Lovely Lily Pad stamp set and the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper (DSP).
This is a really fun and colorful thank you card!
Measurements: Whisper White card stock (CS): 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch card base with a score at 4 1/4 inches, 5 1/4 x 4 inches and 2 7/8 x 2 7/8 inches; Grapefruit Grove CS: 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 inches and 3 x 3 inches; Bermuda Bay CS: 4 3/4 x 2 inches; Flirty Flamingo CS 3 x 2 1/2 inches; Granny Apple Green CS 3 x 1 1/2 inches; and Lily Impressions DSP 4 5/8 x 1 7/8 inches. Additional supplies: Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, and Memento ink, and Metallic Bakers Twine and Sequins Combo Pack.
The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments stamp set. Stamp the “Thank You” sentiment in Memento ink onto the bottom of the 2 7/8 x 2 7/8 inch piece of Whisper White CS. Tip: This is a red rubber stamp so you do get a good image when stamping on a flat surface.
Stamp the lily in Flirty Flamingo ink onto the 3 x 2 1/2 inch piece of Flirty Flamingo CS. Next, stamp the lily pad in Granny Apple Green ink onto the 3 x 1 1/2 piece of Granny Apple Green CS. Tip: To get the best image with a see through Photopolymer stamp, use the Stampin’ Pierce Mat or your catalog. I cover my Pierce Mat with white copy paper so that the ink goes on the paper and not the Mat.
Cut out the lily and the lily pad with your Paper Snips. (If you do have a Big Shot, there are Lily Pad Dies you could use). Adhere the lily pad onto the Whisper White CS piece just over the “Thank You” sentiment. I use Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Apply Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the lily.
Adhere the lily just over the lily pad. Now adhere the whole piece to the 3 x 3 inch piece of Grapefruit Grove CS.
Adhere the 4 5/8 x 1 7/8 inch piece of Lily Impressions DSP to the 4 3/4 x 2 inch piece of Bermuda Bay CS.
Wrap the Bermuda Bay colored Metallic Bakers Twine around the card piece 2 times, then tie a bow.
Fold the 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch Whisper White CS at the 4 1/4 inch scoreline and run the Bone Folder over it so it is a nice, crisp fold.
Adhere the 5 1/4 x 4 inch piece of Whisper White CS to the 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 inch Grapefruit Grove CS. Then adhere the piece to the front of the Whisper White card base.
Adhere the Bermuda Bay and Lily Impressions DSP piece to the card front.
Apply Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the piece with the lily and lily pad on it. Tip: I get the corner pieces from cutting up the leftover outside edge of the Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Adhere the lily and pad piece to the card front above the bow.
Now for the Bling! Apply the Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the area you would like to place the sequins.
The Take Your Pick tool is an easy way to pick up a sequin and place it on the glue.
Easy peasy!
And Viola! you have made a colorful Thank You card!
