Amazing Silhouettes plus Simply Marbelous 


It's a most wonderful time of the Stampin' Up year--a new Jan-June Mini Catalog AND Sale a Bration time where you can earn free product when you shop. This card uses 2 free Sale a Bration items--the Simply Marbelous paper AND the Special Moments stamp set along with a beautiful Distinctive stamp set from the Jan-June Mini Catalog. If you've never bought a Distinctive stamp set you are in for a beautiful surprise--the one stamp does all this lovely shading for you. This is such a simple card but it makes a beautiful statement. You can see below that I made a bunch of them as I was needing some more sympathy cards as well as more masculine birthday cards. Of course the ladies in your lives will love these cards too.

Let's make a card. First gather your supplies:

1. Bermuda Bay cardstock cut 11 by 4 1/4" scored on the long side at 5 1/2" and folded in half
2. Basic White cardstock 5 by 3 3/4" for the inside, 5 by 2 3/4" for the outside, and a scrap for the sentiment
3. Simply Marbelous (#158128) 4 by 5 1/4" FREE FROM SALE-A-BRATION
4. Stamp set- Amazing Silhouettes (#157814) and Special Moments (#158081)  FREE FROM SALE-A-BRATION
5. Dies--Stitched Rectangles (#151820). I used the second smallest of the skinnier dies
6. Ink-- Bermuda Bay
7.Stampin' Blends--Dark Bermuda Bay
8. 3/4" Frayed Ribbon (#158138)
9. Basic supplies--bone folder, Paper Snips, Piercing Mat, adhesive (Multipurpose Glue), Regular Dimensionals, Die Cutting and Embossing Machine (mini or regular), Tear 'N Tape

Fold your card base in half along the score line. Attach the Simply Marbelous piece to the front of the card.

Now to stamp--all using Bermuda Bay ink. Stamp the tree on the 2 3/4 by 5" piece, and the sentiment on the Stitched Rectangle. Also stamp the foliage piece on your envelope (see above in the first picture). Attach the tree to the bottom left of the card, leaving an even border. 

For the ribbon, use your Dark Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blend to put stripes on about a 4" piece of the 3/4" Frayed Ribbon. Pull the string at the end to fray the ends as you can see below. Watch my Facebook Live video below to see better how I did this. Attach the ribbon using Tear 'N Tape and then the sentiment with Dimensionals.

For the inside, attach a 1/2" strip of the Simply Marbelous paper to the side of the 3 3/4 by 5" piece of Basic White and then attach to the inside of the card. 

Here's some more cards I made with these stamp sets.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

  Pick of the Patch Joy Fold Card This fun joy fold card just makes me smile. I'm loving the Pick of the Patch bundle lately for its versatility--it can make beautiful fall cards, great Thanksgiving cards, and today a Halloween card. And all from a relatively inexpensive punch bundle. Now are you wondering where the Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper in the background is from? It's not DSP--I made it with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. Another versatile stamp set that I'm sure will be making an appearance on some holiday cards later this year. For some hints and tips on using this large sized stamp, and making this card, please watch my Facebook Live down below. Better yet, join me every Monday at 1 pm PST on my Stamp with Dr Robin Facebook group to make another fun card.  Time to make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 8 1/2"" scored on the long side at  3" and folded along the score line. Second piece 3...

Playing with Thoughtful Journey DSP Hopefully you have received your new 2024-25 Annual Catalog by now--if not please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com and let me send you one if you don't have a demonstrator. I am making a card today using the gorgeous 6" by 6" Thoughtful Journey DSP as each page is more beautiful than the last. These pages are stand alone amazing--all they really need is a sentiment added to make a card, but I thought I'd fancy them up today with some other new products. I am loving the In Color Glimmer Paper as well as the Unbounded Love bundle that I used for the sentiment. If you have trouble following along with these directions, please watch my Facebook live below.   Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:  1. Mossy Meadow cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. A second piece 3 3/4" by 2 3/8" 2. Basic White cardstock-- 3 3/4" by 5...
