Pals Blog Hop – Pick a “B” Birthday Boy Gift Card

,
Comment HERE: 19

Welcome to the June 2017 Pals Blog Hop. Thank you so much for joining us today. This month’s theme, Pick a “B”, features projects inspired by Babies, Birthdays and Brides to name few. You’ll get a glimpse of new catalog products while you hop with us today.

Whether you’re just starting the hop, or have come from a previous Pal’s blog, you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.

Stampin Up Pocket Full of Sunshine Gift Cards Idea - Mary Fish StampinUp

“B” is for birthday boy gift card!  This card is destined for my grandnephew, Henry, who is turning eleven.  I think the primary colors and clean design are perfect for his “age group.”  If you search for “Henry” on my search tool (top right of my blog), you’ll see all the cards created for Henry over the years . . . a flashback to the day he earned his “big boy” overalls card here.  It’s one of my favorites but demonstrates how much he has grown up!

I love hearing from you. If you have a question or thoughts to share about today’s post, please, COMMENT HERE.

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

  • I adore the Pocketful of Sunshine Photopolymer Stamp Set and coordinating Pocket Framelits Dies.  They make giving a gift card or money stylish and fun for ALL ages.  Save 10% when you purchase them as a bundle.

  • The Super Tool!  I used the Big Shot Magnetic Platform to keep the dies in place over the coordinating stamped images for their journey through the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine.  Watch my WOW! video here to learn more about the Magnetic Platform.Stampin Up Pocket Full of Sunshine Gift Card Ideas - Mary Fish StampinUp
  • The sentiment was cropped with a fantastic, folding banner die from the Stampin’ Up! Cupcake Cutouts Framelits Dies.  I got the idea to use the banner die and Baker’s Twine (I used the new Dapper Denim Baker’s Twine) from the NEW Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.  It’s loaded with artful ideas!
  • A Real Red heart (Brights Enamel Shapes) adds a pop of coordinating color, shine and interest.

  • The Banner Triple Punch is a quick and easy way to create the perfect flagged end.  I used it on the Real Red piece of card stock.  Here’s my previously released WOW! video showing the benefits of the punch.

,
Comment HERE: 17

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for May 2017.  We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our 2017 Blog Hop monthly themes. This month we are featuring projects that are “stepped up” by using textures or fun techniques. We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below.  The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.

Stampin Up! Pieces & Patterns Dinosaur Juvenile Birthday Cards - Mary Fish StampinUp

I’m “wild about” the Stampin’ Up! Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper.  It’s fun, whimsical and versatile enough for all ages.  I used four different patterns on this birthday card that is destined for my grandnephew, Sam!  Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper will be available for purchase June 1, when the Stampin’ Up! 2017-2018 Annual Catalog begins.

I love hearing from you. If you have a question or thoughts to share about today’s post, please, COMMENT HERE.

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

  • MY TECHNIQUE – PAPER SNIPPING DESIGNER SERIES PAPER!  The Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper is loaded with adorable, colorful images that can be cropped with Paper Snips. My Flirty Flamingo mammoth was snipped and popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.Stampin Up! Pieces & Patterns Dinosaur Juvenile Birthday Card - Mary Fish StampinUp
  • Here’s the 1 Minute to WOW! Video Tutorial I shared previously with tips on paper snipping.  I like to leave a little white around the outside of images.  It’s very forgiving!Stampin Up! Pieces & Patterns Dinosaur Juvenile Birthday Card Idea - Mary Fish StampinUp
  • It’s the little things!  A Crushed Curry heart (Regals Enamel Shapes) replaces the “o” in “you!”  NEW Crushed Curry 3/8″ Mini Chevron Ribbon (available June 1) keeps everything tidy and closed but will be easy enough for little hands to undo!Stampin Up! Pieces & Patterns Dinosaur Juvenile Birthday Card Ideas - Mary Fish StampinUp
  • This card  is essentially two cards that intersect each other.  The card base measures 10″ x 4 1/4″ and is scored at 5 1/2″.  The shorter portion faces the front.  The smaller card measures 8″ x 3 1/2″ and is scored in the middle at 4″.

  • I paper snipped a couple more coordinating images from Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper for the inside of the smaller card and created a little “money clip” to tuck “Andrew Jackson” in place.

FREE DESIGNER SERIES PAPER COORDINATING COLOR CHARTS!

I love having a quick reference to the colors in Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper when I’m getting ready to create.  It’s so easy to pull coordinating Stampin’ Up! inks, card stock, ribbon and more!  Enjoy the NEW as well as the UPDATED 2008 – Present charts.

Stampin Up Baby's First Made with Love Baby Card Ideas - Mary Fish StampinUp A

Isn’t she lovely in Night of Navy and Whisper White?  I created this sophisticated and feminine baby card for today’s Cut It Out Blog Hop using the Stampin’ Up! Made with Love Photopolymer Stamp Set and coordinating Baby’s First Framelits Dies.

I love hearing from you. If you have a question or thoughts to share about today’s post, please, COMMENT HERE.

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

  • The “negative” portion cropped with the onesie is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and layered over a crisp Night of Navy and Whisper White pattern from Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper.  Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper is one of My Favorite Things from the 2016-17 annual catalog.

  • A Night of Navy enamel dot (Regals Enamel Shapes) defines the white flower (also from Baby’s First Framelits Dies).

  • It’s a wrap!  Coordinating Night of Navy Solid Baker’s Twine adds a quick dash of style.
