Hats Off to You


Most of us have problems making guy cards and the Hats Off bundle solves that problem for you! It also makes really cute cards for you gal pals too--I showed off lots of other samples on my Facebook live (at Stamp with Dr Robin) which I've attached below and I'll post pictures of those other cards here on my blog tomorrow. I just couldn't stop cutting out hats from every color and DSP and then making them into cards. If you have a baseball fan in your life, try downloading their hat and attaching their logo to the front of the hat. For this card, I've paired it with the brand new Waves of the Ocean Designer Series Paper and if you look closely you can see the texture on the hat from the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder. 

First, gather your supplies to make this card. 

1. Pacific Point cardstock 4 1/4 by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at 4 1/4" 
2. Basic White cardstock 3 3/4 by 5" for the inside and another piece die cut with the Stitched Rectangle Dies (third longest of the skinnier, smaller dies)
3. Waves of the Ocean DSP (#159982) cut 3 by 5 1/4"
4. Basic Black cardstock cut 3 1/8 by 5 3/8"
5. Night of Navy cardstock to cut out the hats and a scrap cut with the Stitched Rectangle Dies (second  longest of the skinnier, smaller dies)
6. Stamp Sets-- Hats Off (#155483 or Bundle #158361), Flowing Flowers (#157880) for the happy birthday sentiment
7. Dies--Hats Builder (#155964 or Bundle #158361), Stitched Rectangles (#151820)
8. Ink-- Memento Black and Night of Navy
9. Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (#152718)
10. Baker's Twine Essentials Pack (#155475)
11. Basic supplies--bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (Multipurpose Glue), Regular and Mini Dimensionals, Die Cutting and Embossing Machine 

Fold your Pacific Point cardstock in half. Attach the Waves of the Ocean DSP to the Basic Black DSP and then wrap the black Baker's Twine around this paper twice and then attach to the back and attach to the card base.

Using your Memento Black ink, stamp the large hat on a piece of Night of Navy cardstock then cut it out with the matching die (watch my Facebook Live below with some hints on how to line it up). Also cut out one of the small hats from Night of Navy cardstock at the same time. Then take your cut out hat and run it through the machine inside the Tasteful Textile embossing folder.

Using Night of Navy ink, stamp Happy Birthday from the Flowing Flowers stamp set onto the Basic White Stitched Rectangle. Attach that to the Night of Navy Stitched Rectangle. Stamp the "Life is Great" from the Hats off set and cut it out with the 2 matching dies (one embosses the stitching and one cuts it out). Attach this to the hat. I attached the hat this way--2 regular Dimensionals and one baby one to the brim of the hat and glue the rest of the hat to the card. This gives the hat a little 3D dimension as you can see below. Attach the sentiment with Dimensionals.


Attach the baby hat to the inside Basic White piece and add that to the inside of the card as below.

  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

These are a medium sized USPS Priority Mail box and they will be stuffed with product. Each box will include a minimum of 10 Stampin' Up stamps and at least 2 of them will be a bundle with either a die set or a punch. They will all have at least one retired embossing folder as well as embellishments and ribbon. You won't know what you are getting, so if you like surprises and getting over $250 worth of products for only $50, please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com. If you don't recognize this Designer Series Paper or the sentiment and dies, it is because this is a sneak peak at the Something Fancy bundle from the upcoming Jan-April Mini Catalog that goes live next month.

One Horse Open Sleigh Card We have a lot of wonderful things starting 7/6/23 over on Stampin' Up. First up is everyone can now buy several new products that are On-Line Exclusives, including this lovely 6" by 6"  Designer Series Paper called One Horse Open Sleigh. It is made to go with a new horse and sleigh stamp set, but as you can see, it is beautiful on its own. It has lovely wintery scenes on one side and nice small images on the other side. Perfect for holiday cards, but also great for other types of cards. Today I decided to make it in to a birthday card that you can use for a male or female birthday.  Another thing that starts 7/6 is we get a Clearance Rack refresh so check it out for some amazing deals.
