Just Believe Card Case

This was a group effort project that we did when our great friends Kevin & Patty came to visit a couple of weeks ago from Nebraska!  It was a replica of one that we've done in the past.  This case holds 8 cards and envelopes.  It features the Elegant Soiree Designer Series Paper along with the Just Believe stamp set.  The clear plastic card holder was cut in half with one half attached on either side of the case, they can be purchased at http://www.clearbags.com/

Altered Embossed Tulips Frame

We are so grateful for the ideas that we can glean from other Stampin' Up! demonstrators and creative individuals.  We found instructions to alter the sizing of the new framed tulips embossing folder (available in the Occasions mini catalog) via Lynn Pratt.  The image and sentiment are from the Just Believe set.

In Color Thank You Card

This card pairs two of the wonderful In Colors, Concord Crush and Peach Parfait, along with the Just Believe stamp set and the Big Shot.  The Whisper White background was embossed with the square lattice folder and the scalloped square was die cut with the scallop squares duo Bigz die.  Punches used were the ticket corner, word window, modern label, and corner rounder.  Basic rhinestones embellish the corners of the scalloped square.

Naughty or Nice?

Well, according to one of our favorite stamps from the Tags 'til Christmas set, "even the naughty deserve something nice", it wouldn't matter.  This card design idea came from Patty Bennett's website, and is just a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of cardstock scored at 4 1/4" and 8 3/4".  The word window punch is used to make the gift card holder.  We used sticky strip to attach the sides of the inside (or bottom) section; however, Patty's opened all the way up to reveal the sentiment.  The santa suit tag is another one of the great stamps in the Tags 'til Christmas set.  The saying "Some things must be believed to be seen" comes from the Just Believe stamp set.  The 2" scalloped square inside is from the scallop squares duo die from the Holiday mini catalog.  Eventhough this card says otherwise, we recommend maximizing the kindness you receive this holiday season by being nice! 

Friends Forever

This card was created with the Just Believe stamp set.  The color scheme is clean and simple - Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Very Vanilla.  The Top Note die and Square Lattice embossing folders add shape and texture.  We would have to guess that any friend would be happy to receive this card to let them know they are special.

Just Believe In Color Notecards and Envelopes

This idea was CASE'd from Jill Hilliard.  We loved her simple use of the Just Believe stamp set with the notecards and envelopes in all five of the In Colors.  We added some coordinating ribbon and basic rhinestones to each side of the sentiment, adn of course stamped the envelopes.  Watch for a class coming soon featuring this stamp set and the notecard and envelope packs!

Beautiful Birthday

Don't you LOVE the Just Believe stamp set?!  We do too!!!  Here is a swing card using the set.  We searched online for the directions for a swing card, and had to alter them a little to suit our "perfectionist" nature.  The photo shows the same card, one closed and one open.  The center part "swings" around once opened.  The Color Coach is laying out because you got it...another beautiful combination that we wouldn't have used if it weren't for that awesome tool!  The three colors used are Basic Grey, Melon Mambo, and Old Olive.  Unfortunately the Basic Grey 5/8" satin ribbon is discontinued (sad face); however, Old Olive satin ribbon would be just as beautiful (happy face).  The Fiskars paper cutter came in very handy for this card, but there's not a lot of other tools except a 1 1/4" circle punch.  Have a "b-e-a-utiful" day! 

Just For You, Your Majesty!

This card is totally CASE'd from a swap received at Convention from fellow demonstrator Jan Burnett.  There was one color alteration made - the original card base was Basic Black instead of Bravo Burgundy.  It's hard to see, but there are three basic rhinestone jewels on the crown.  The sentiment is from the Just Believe stamp set and the crown is from Artistic Etchings.  The strip of paper behind the crown is from the Newsprint DSP collection.  The Crumb Cake background is embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder.  Several punches were used including word window, modern label, 1 3/8" circle, 1 3/4" circle, and the 2 3/8" scallop.
