Perfectly Wrapped Affectionately Yours Shaker Card

Shake, Shake, Shake! Who doesn't love getting all the fun and sparkle of glitter & sequins without all the mess?!? This Girl!! This style of card is called a Shaker Card - and you do just that! Shake it and all the glitzy goodness in the center will fly around [inside the card!] and make your recipient smile! And possibly dance. Probably depends on the age of that person, for the dancing bit... but these are FUN cards!

Perfectly Wrapped stamp set makes some awesome stuff
besides that fabulous project kit! 

This is a card I made for a Stamping Event with my Demo Divas last month. You'll love making these shaker cards yourself, they're so easy now that we offer the Foam Adhesive Strips!
Get some great tips on making Shaker Cards HERE

I used the Perfectly Wrapped stamp set (item 141960). It has some darling greeting stamps, and fun little accents too, don't you think so?This stamp set was made to coordinate with the Perfectly Wrapped Project Kit (item 142139). Super cute giftables, 16 gift packages total, four each of four different options! You can see more of this beautiful project kit HERE

Wrapped stamp set (item 141960)

Perfectly Wrapped Project Kit (item 142139)

 To make the card I also used the beautiful new Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper. Its got 5 different double-sided 12x12 papers, with a variety of designs. There are also 2 sheets of copper foiled designs! Just a shimmer and shine you'll love in person! I didn't use those copper foil accent sheets on this card (saving the GOOD paper for the perfect project, right?! LOL) but used the colorful floral patterns instead.

The busy background is offset by the splash of Watermelon Wonder shaker part! I cut the cardstock into a frame with my fabulously dependable Stampin' Trimmer. The crumbcake backing of the shaker part is stamped with Night of Navy and Watermelon Wonder, as the frame is too. The ribbon accent is the new Emerald Envy Ruched Ribbon.  [ Links to all products are below]

You can swap out the 'Thanks' and use this layout for a variety of occasions and images - and still have fun with the Shake Shake Shake!

TIPS Banner Surprise June Paper Pumpkin

June Paper Pumpkin Kit has arrived!! Sparkly!!!

 Might be a record - my kit arrived within a week of shipping!! Usually it takes me about 10-12 days to get my kit where I live, way out here in the boonies - but Happy Day! Its here!!

When in Doubt, Watch the Video! LoL

Honestly, it took me a minute to figure out what the heck this kit was making. No really. Was it a banner? Was it cards with a little pennant on them? OH!! Its BOTH!
A card with a Banner on it! Surprise! lol Ok. Oh My Gosh - how cute is that?!? Can you just imagine the reaction this card will get when its opened?!

Supplies for June Paper Pumpkin Kit

So I was all set to follow the instructions, and I decided I would make all my cards Birthday Cards.
(( #ImBringingBirthdaysBack ))

To save time I stamped all my circles at the same time. And all my cards. And all my envelopes. Step one, Done! Then Step two. Add the gold stickers. Ok. This is where I ran into a problem, maybe you have too.
The supplies given are two sheets of alphabet / heart / star stickers:

And if you do your letter math (what, its a thing) you'll find that there are only enough letters to make TWO banners that say HAPPY. Hmmm. But I have supplies to make 6 cards. So what do I make the other banners say, for my Happy Birthday cards?!?! There's no suggestion in the instructions, and I was at a loss. Dang instructions. I was all Happy to make Happy banners, but now I was UNHappy.

Other Sayings for June Paper Pumpkin Kit 

I spent some time frustrated. (And figuring out options to use the scrumptious sparkly sequins in other projects!) But then I decided I was still going to make all 6 birthday cards!! And I came up with some other sayings that I could make with my limited amount of stickers. You're Welcome. :-)
::
Happy (you can make 2 of these, then all your P's are gone)
Celebrate
Party (Cut an R into a P by removing a leg)
Wish Big

So pretty - I can just imagine the HAPPY smile on someones face to get this card!! 

Happy Banner - So sparkly and festive! 

Six cards. Ta-dah!
Warning: Celebrate is REALLY LONG. It makes for a very lengthy unwrapping, and bulky card envelope. :-/  Probably not a good use of your supplies.

SO here are some other words you can make, for the other occasions included in your stamp set in the kit (Anniversary, Shower, & Graduation) You'll have to do your own Word Math and see what you can make from what you have left... lol
but these are some options:

Fiesta      Bride     Love 

Its a Girl / Boy     Party     WooHoo

Way To Go     Congrats

Forever     Cherish     Love You

Success     You Did It     Enjoy 

Good Job     Sassy     Sweet

Dream Big     Kisses     Wish

Smiles     Blessed     Adore

Always     Devotion      Bliss

Success     Grad     Cake

Ms To Mrs     Forever

Dreams     Lucky     Hugs

TIPS::

Dangit!! Thats not so cute! Tip Number One - use a glue dot!

As your card recipient is unwinding the adorable banner you so lovingly gave them, it would be kind of... awkward... if the lettering was all wonky!! To avoid this, use a glue dot from one of your other Paper Pumpkin kits, or a little dab of glue, to set that letter in the bag facing the right way.

Aghh!! They fall off the string as you unwind the card!
Tip Number Two - tie a small knot!

As your recipient is unwinding the banner from the card, they may not get that its a Banner and needs to stay on that string 'till the fabulous finale! After you figure out the spacing to tie your bow, tie a small knot at the beginning and ends of your banner so the flags don't fall off in the big revealing.

And that should give you some ideas! ;-)
HAPPY Crafting,
~Angie

The 2015-2016 Stampin' Up! Catalog will shortly be a fond memory, and today we found out which stamps sets will not be continuing on with us to the new catalog... Oh, and there were many!!

I highly recommend ordering your favorites before they sell out - they WILL sell out. You know the inventory control that Stampin' Up! has been working so hard on will not allow for these supplies and stamps to just hang around!

Top of your list should be any Re-Inkers (Ink refills) for the 2014-16 In Colors, as well as any coordinating paper for these colors. I can not stress how quickly these items will go - GO ORDER NOW!! #dontsayididntwarnyou

Lots of stuff at discounts of up to 50% off 

(psst!! get those ones first - sell out risk is HIGH) 

SHOP HERE: www.StampinUp.com 

Also be sure to add any of the sweet stamp sets you've had an eye on, and take a long look through the other items that are retiring. The retiring punch list is LONG, and Yes! We will have punches in the new catalog, but get the retiring punches before they sell for buck$ on eBay - order now!

Happy Crafting!
