A Sweet Valentine Notecard!

I looked at my Sweet Strawberry Bundle the other day, and thought of Valentine’s Day, so I made a quick notecard for adding to a Valentine treat I’m going to give. The Stampin’ Up! note cards and envelopes are the perfect size. Don’t forget about them for your card-making needs.

I stamped a few strawberries with Polished Pink ink on some scrap pieces of Basic White card stock. I also stamped some leaves, stems and small flowers in Tuxedo Black Memento on white. I used the filler stamp in Mint Macaron to give the stems and leaves some color. I punched them all out with the Strawberry Builder Punch — it’s so fun and quick! AND it’s on the Clearance Rack right now for only $10.80!

I cut a Mint Macaron panel at 3 1/4″ by 4 3/4″ and dry embossed it with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder to give it some texture. I then adhered it to the front of a Whisper White notecard. I found a sentiment panel from an old kit, and decided to stamp my sentiment on it. It’s great to use old supplies up! I then built my strawberries onto the front of the notecard. I added a few Basic Pearls, and I was done!

I hope you enjoyed my card. Have fun yourself with the Note Cards and Envelopes!

It’s Sale-A-Bration Time– that one time a year when we can earn free gifts with purchases from our annual and mini catalog.

A few things to remember:

My 2023 January-April Mini Catalog Paper Share!

There are so many beautiful papers in the 2023 January-April Catalog that it’s difficult to choose! Why not get a little of EVERYTHING so you can see them in person before you order? That’s why I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $27.00 plus $8 for Priority Mail shipping (only if I need to ship it to you!)

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order on January 6th, so you would need to let me know if you’d like to take part before the 6th!

How shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can! Shares give you a great ‘feel’ of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each design from the following DSP and specialty paper packs (the number behind the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

  • By The Bay 6″ x 6″ Specialty – 12
  • Country Floral – 6
  • Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ – 6
  • Delicate Desert – 6
  • Dry Brush Metallic – 2
  • Enjoy The Journey – 6
  • Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ – 12
  • Fine Shimmer – 3
  • Link An Animal Specialty – 6
  • Rain Or Shine Specialty – 6
  • Ready To Ride Specialty – 6
  • Regency Park 6″ x 6″ – 12
  • Textured Shimmer – 3
  • Vellum Basics Specialty – 3

In all, you’ll receive 89 – 6” x 6” sheets of designer or speciality paper!

Double DSP Share – $54.00 + $8.00 Shipping by Priority Mail – I’ll cut the designer paper sheets into 6×12 so that you’ll be able to get three A2 size card fronts from each sheet (except for the By The Bay, Country Gingham, Fancy Flora and Regency Park, you’ll get double sheets of those since they’re already precut).

FREE Gift From Me! – As a bonus for joining my share, you’ll also get a sampler of the Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper Packs! 

Deadline to sign up for my share is Thursday, January 5.

If you’d like to join, email the following information to marya2hanson@gmail.com:

SU!’s Notecards & Envelopes: Perfect for Holiday Correspondence!

‘Tis the season of holiday parties and gift giving, and Stampin’ Up!’s Notecards and Envelopes are perfect for thank-you’s, holiday cards, or invitations throughout the holidays. Today, I prepared three quick notecards for three different occasions.

The main theme of the set of three cards is the snowflake frame die from the Snowman Dies, and from there, the possibilities are endless — from many layers to just the frame die with a stamped or embossed sentiment will be perfect!

I have a specific tip about cutting the frame dies so they work perfectly with our note cards and envelopes. Cut your colored card stock (for the frame) at 3 3/8″ by 4 7/8″. Run this panel of cardstock through the Cut & Emboss machine with the Snowman Frame die, and it will fit exactly on the front of the notecard. From there, you can decorate and embellish however you wish.

Let’s take a closer look at the three cards:

The top card uses a simple sentiment with a Deckled Rectangle Die. The second and third cards use more of the Snowman Dies elements. All the products used to create these three notecards can be found below. I hope you enjoyed my projects. They’re so perfect for a variety of purposes in your holiday papercrafting!
