My Happy Stamping Place

Fold over corner toucan card

February is an incredibly busy month for me.  My daughter's birthday is in early February, my birthday is in February, Valentine's day, Superbowl and of course Sale-a-bration!  We are in the last week of Sale-a-bration. I typically hold an in person Sale-a-bration Open house in January or February but it got away from me this year.  Both my daughter and I had milestone birthdays this year.  I shared a countdown calendar project I made for her birthday.  For my birthday I'm having extended celebrations.  Birthdays are a big deal for me.  I grew up in a family of 10 kids.  It was the one day we could be really special.  We got to choose the meal my mom made and the cake we wanted.  I'm not a big cake fan so I would usually request chocolate pie.  Yum!

Today I am sharing one of the cards we made in my monthly Hybrid Stamp Club.  I love this corner fold card!   It's an easy twist on a regular card.  That's my favorite kind of card!  It uses some Sale-a-bration product.  If you want this project then hurry up and order before the end of February!

You can see the supplies used below.  If you would like to order anything you can go to my website.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Pop Up Lime card

This pop up panel card is so much fun to make!  This is one of the cards we made this month in my monthly Hybrid Stamp club. And this Sweet Citrus stamp set, embossing folder and dies has quickly become my favorite in the catalog right now!  So much wow built in without a lot of effort.  I just love it!

I love limes in real life.  These stamped limes look so real and refreshing!  You can order the supplies from 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.

Party owl card!

The Adorable Owls stamp set in the Sale-a-bration catalog was the first thing I wanted to order from that catalog when I saw it.  They are incredibly cute!  I used this stamp set as a make-n-take at my recent Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration Open House.  

Hoot hoot!  This one is so cute!  This was very well received at the Open House.  What do you think? Sale-a-bration runs through February 28.  To get this set or another Sale-a-bration product for FREE you can place an order of $50 or more(before tax and shipping). You can place an order on my website or if you have your own demonstrator place an order with them.

Share a Milkshake Ice Cream cone card

This is the bundle I can't stop using.  The bundle is called "Share a Milkshake".  This is one of the cards we made in my monthly hybrid stamp club.  The in person people made the card using some of the stamps in the set and my virtual people made the card with ice cream cone done all with the dies.  The  background hashmark is such a great addition to the dies!

You'll be seeing more of this stamp and die bundle coming up because I keep going back to it.  It is so much fun!  Those of you coming to my in person Open House this week will be using it for one of our make-n-takes.

All supplies can be ordered on my website. The supplies used are listed below.
