My Happy Stamping Place

Milkshake Envelope fold card

How's Summer going?  Everyone I talk to says it is flying by for them.  It is for me as well.  We moved my youngest son and his girlfriend to Minnesota from Austin, Texas last week.  We got them out of the 100+ temperatures, whew!  But moving in the middle of those temperatures was definitely draining.  It is so nice to have them here with us in Minnesota, though.  It makes it all worth it.  I was so delighted to have all my kids back in Minnesota that within days I planned a family dinner with my kids and their significant others.  It did my momma heart good to have them all surrounding me at the table.  

Before we left for Texas I completed my monthly Hybrid stamp club cards so I would be ready to go this week.  That turned out to be a good plan.  I had just attended a Stampin' Up! demonstrator event and wanted the fresh ideas to stick with me before they disappeared.  This card didn't come from that event but it was inspired by my upline, Karen Titus.  It's called an envelope fun fold card even though no envelope was used to make this card.  It has the look of an envelope flap.

 

Very easy but different card.  That's my favorite kind!  You can see all of supplies used listed below.  To place an order for any of the products visit my website.

Light the Way card

We had a fun time this week making these cards in my in person and virtual stamp club!  I got the idea for this layout of the card from a swap card I got from a fellow demonstrator.  That was my starting point.  I wanted to use the Lighting the Way dies and stamps.  I pulled out some dsp from the Delightfully Eclectic pack and along the way this became a rather nautical looking card.  I love the way it turned out! 

Dies with small intricate parts like this one do best with the adhesive backed sheets.  You simply apply the adhesive sheets to a piece of the cardstock and then run it through the die cut machine.  You have essentially made a sticker out of the die.  Just peel and stick to your project! 

You can order all supplies on my website.  The supplies are listed below.

Typewriter Card

Happy Independence Day America!  We aren't taking in any fireworks, parades, or anything.  We plan to see the latest Indiana Jones movie.  This movie always reminds me of my youngest son, Sam.  When he was a kid he was really into these movies.  He had books, computer games and legos in this same franchise.  Great memories.

I have had a lot of family life stuff in the past couple of months that have kept me extremely busy.  Mostly good stuff.  I haven't given my stamping life much energy.  I plan to remedy that in the coming months.  I'll start with posting this typewriter card from my June Hybrid stamp club.

Do you ever look through the Stampin' Up! catalog and certain stamp sets jump out at you?  That's what this stamp set did for me.  Coastal Cabana is my favorite Stampin' Up! color.  I decided to go for the retro vintage vibe I love so much and created this Coastal Cabana typewriter card.

What stamp set(s) jumped out at you when you first saw the catalog?  I'd love to hear!

The supplies for this card are listed below.  You can order any of these supplies on my website.

Sitting Bunny card

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter!  I got to celebrate with 5 of my siblings.  It was good to see many of them I haven't seen for awhile.  And we finally have beautiful weather in Minnesota.  The snow has melted and it finally feels like Spring!

Speaking of Easter and Spring, I'm sharing with you a card I made for a card swap for my monthly Hybrid stamp club(in person and/or virtual). Each month we have an optional card swap where interested members can make cards to swap with other members.  Our theme for March was Easter or Spring.  I grabbed my Easter Bunny stamp set to make this card.  I also used a panel fun fold card technique that we used in February.  It is fun to use a technique that is still fresh in your mind.  I highly recommend it! 

I'm happy to tell you that this stamp set and coordinating punch will be in the new Stampin' Up! annual catalog that comes out in May. I used the masking technique to make the bunny appear to be behind the Easter eggs.  

You can order the supplies for this card on my website.  For a list of supplies used please see below.

Pop Up Slide Ice Cream Sundae card

I stayed away from the Share a Milkshake bundle for awhile because I was going a little bit crazy with them back in January.  I came back to it to make this fun pop up card.  I love a good pop up!  How about you?  It's a wow card without being difficult to make.  

I demonstrated this card and the other card we made in my monthly Hybrid club on a Facebook Live video here.

Diagonal Floral Joy Fold Card

We postponed my in person monthly stamp club by a week because I was visiting my son, Sam, in Austin, Texas last week.  I overlooked the fact that it was South by Southwest (SXSW) while I was visiting.  This event brings an additional 150,000 people to the city.  Hotel prices were jacked up and we were afraid we were going to get stuck in some really bad traffic.  The traffic wasn't really a problem(no more than usual). 

Once I got back in town we had our stamp club and this was the first card we made.  

This is a pretty but easy card with a twist.  All of the supplies are listed below.  You can order the supplies on my website here.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Easy Floral Card

I love to make elaborate cards at times.  But I really love simple cards too!  This card layout is one of those.  You make the designer paper the star of the show for this card.  With so many beautiful Stampin' Up! paper packs this is a great idea.  This was the second card in my February hybrid stamp club.  It is a twist on the other card we made.  You can see that card in a post right before this one.

What do you think?  I'm pretty happy with it.  This paper pack is now retired from Sale-a-bration but there are plenty of other beautiful Stampin' Up! designer paper packs to choose from.  A list of supplies used is below.  Everything is current except for the paper.  You can visit my online ordering website here.

Easter Bunny panel card

I have an affinity for things that hop. Mostly because of my last name, Hopperstad.  Especially bunnies and frogs.  This cute little bunny hopped right into my online shopping cart.  It is so dang cute! We made this card in my February hybrid stamp club.  I believe this is called a panel card.  If not, that is what I'm calling it!

Such a fun and easy card to make!  You can watch the Facebook Live video here where I am demonstrating this card and the other monthly stamp club card which is a variation on this type of card.
