Betsy’s Blossoms: super for strong colors
Sometimes simple is just what you need! Here’s a card with only 2 colors — Basic Black and Summer Starfruit. The Betsy’s Blossom stamp set (see it online) is great for bold images and strong colors.
Love the banner and the stamp to match the shaped card stock? Here’s what you’d need to make these shaped banners at home:
- Big Shot (see it online) – 113439
- Bitty Banners Framelits (see them online) — 129267
- Itty Bitty Banners stamp set (see it online) — 126257 (clear) or 126255 (wood)

Happy Stamping!

Subscribe to the comments for this postCreative Card Shapes: Oval Accent Die
Looking for an alternate card shape? Here’s a fun one using your Big Shot dies to cut your card background. Simply fold your card stock and place on the die so the fold is INSIDE the die cut shape. When you cut with the die, your fold will remain and your card is ready to decorate!
The die for this card is the Oval Accent Bigz Clear Die (127005 – see it online).
Perfect for spring, this card features the Betsy’s Blossoms stamp set (see more Betsy’s Blossom card ideas on my blog).
Happy Stamping!

Perfectly Preserved Treat Bags: jars of love
Yesterday I shared a Perfectly Preserved project that didn’t use the jar (see the full stamp set). Today’s project uses the jar – and the sweet little pear! All the pieces cut out here are from the matching Cannery Set Framelits (see them online – 127822), except the little banner. I love that it’s so easy to make perfect layers with the pieces!
These little gift bags are about 4″ x 4″ on the front — perfect size for a little 1/2 pint jar or a bunch of cookies. The nice thing about little bags is that you can put little gifts in them! Little treats that would make someone’s day. Can you imagine getting this from a friend for no special reason at all?
Here are the quick steps for this project:
- Cut down a paper lunch bag of your choice (a 4×8″ bag here, cut to 4 x 4″).
- Cut Designer Series Paper to layer on the bag front – either covering the entire bag front or leaving the bag edges showing. (Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper is a happy match with kraft lunch sacks – see it online – 126895)
- Decorate as desired & fill with treats!
Don’t forget that when you order $40 from my online store in September, you get a roll of the Stitched Satin Ribbon for free! You can pick the Raspberry Ripple that I used above (perfect with Orchard Harvest DSP) or you can pick any of the other 2012-2014 In Colors!
Want to see MORE IDEAS with the Stitched Satin Ribbon? Here are a bunch on my blog – if you order $80, you’d get 2 rolls free. Or $200 and get all 5 colors.
Happy Stamping!

Betsy’s Blossoms: NEW In Color Combos
Are you excited for the NEW In Colors? I have to say that I am LOVING these! I’ll let you in on a secret… pretty much every year I start out just a little bit skeptical about the new colors. But this year I’m completely hooked! Not only are these colors a great fit for the Stampin’ Up! Color Collections, but they’re also fabulous together!
Here’s a card that I based on one in the Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator magazine — Stampin’ Success. Yup, it’s true. As a demonstrator you do NOT need to invent the wheel every time! You can use the great resources that are available to us.
And did you see the Demonstrator Special in June?! Whew! A $48 bonus is a great reason to join my stamping family! Plus there are lots of great reasons to become a demonstrator — from supporting your hobby to purchasing at a discount!
Do you have at least $125 on your Wish List for the new catalog? Did you realize you can put ANYTHING you want into your Starter Kit and get it for $99? Don’t miss the details!
Okay, back to the card…
If you want to create this card at home on your own, here are the NEW supplies that you’ll need:
- Betsy’s Blossoms stamp set (see it online) — 126006 (clear) or 126004 (wood)
- In Color Card Stock 2012-2014 (see it online) — 126838
- Fancy Fan Embossing Folder (see it online) — 127751
- Itty Bitty Banners stamp set (see it online) — 126257 (clear) or 126255 (wood)
- Bitty Banners Framelits (see them online) — 129267
- NEW Basic Black Classic Stampin’ Pad (see it online) — 126980
- Plus the following supplies you may already have: Big Shot, Whisper White Card Stock, Basic Gray Card Stock, 1″ Circle Punch, Postage Stamp Punch
If there is only 1 thing you purchase from this list, I’d make it the Basic Black Classic Pad. No kidding! I am in love with these new pads (learn more about them). I haven’t quite made up my mind to replace all my ink pads, but I’m getting closer every time I pull out one of my older pads!
And if you’re thinking that the In Colors would be fun, and you love Betsy’s Blossoms as much as me, be sure to check out my Stamps in the Mail Club for June — you’ll get both the stamp set and the new Basic Black ink pad, and in the July kit you’ll get the new In Color Markers!
Or consider ordering these items as part of your very own Demonstrator Starter Kit! (email me with any questions)
