This Birthday Piggy Bundle by Stampin’ Up! – A Card Duo!

This Birthday Piggy Bundle by Stampin’ Up! – A Card Duo!

This Birthday Piggy Bundle by Stampin Up Card Duo from Facebook Live - Laura Milligan, Id Rather Bee Stampin

I’m excited about the upcoming promotion we have starting on Sept. 1 – Perfect Partners.  We are releasing six new sets of dies that coordinate with stamp sets from our Annual and July- December Mini Catalog.  One of my favorites from these dies are the Playful Piggy Dies – they coordinate with the adorable This Birthday Piggy Stamp Set.   You can purchase the stamp set and dies in a bundle and save 10%.  You can purchase the dies alone if you already own the stamp set!

For my Facebook Live yesterday, i created two cards with this bundle pf products.   Watch the video below to see how I made these cards.

I wanted to show the versatility of the dies – the wagon alone is just so cute – you can fill it with flowers, like I did – or pumpkins, fall leaves etc – anything goes !!!

This Birthday Piggy Flower Wagon Card Facebook Live Laura Milligan Id Rather Bee Stampin

I used the Fun Flower Resin shapes for my embellishments –  they compliment the Brights Stack DSP that I used – in this case, I used a piece of Pacific Point DSP, along with a card base of Pacific Point.

This card is always a great color combination – Red, Black and White.  Watch the recording to see the trick I did for cutting the pig’s tail and having it pop through the wagon – too cute, right?  The Black and White Polka Dot DSP is from the Black & White Designs 12 / 12 Paper Pack.  It adds to the whimsy of this card.

This Birthday Piggy Bundle Wee Card from Facebook Live - Laura Milligan, Id Rather Bee Stampin

This Piggy is just so cute – I added some color with Petal Pink blends and Basic Black blends – the Basic Black blends were used to add some black spots.

I have released a card class featuring this bundle!  I am offering an Early Bird Special – that ends tomorrow –  just in case these piggy dies “fly” out of the SU Warehouse – I just think they will be very, very popular and want to be sure that those that want this class can get the dies!

Storybook Gnomes Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! – A Card Duo!

Storybook Gnomes Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! – A Card Duo!

Stampin Up Kindest Gnome Funfold Card Duo by Laura Milligan Id Rather Bee Stampin

For my Facebook Live this week, I created two whimsical cards featuring the Kindest Gnomes bundle.  Gnomes are so popular recently and they are just plain cute! Like I said in my Live I never really thought about girl gnomes – I normally think of a Gnome as a bearded gent – but in this bundle there are girls gnomes too – and they are just as sweet as the gents!

Watch the video below to see how I made these cards.  In the video you will be able to see the measurements used for the cards.

The first card uses the dies that are used to create a gnome – no stamping at all – just die cut and you will end up with this cute little fella!  The dies have detail added – texture to the beard and stitching around the hat and shoes – love the extra detail!  This card is a fun fold – it opens up from the top on a shorter panel.

I used Poppy Parade ink for this card – I pulled the color from the cute mushroom Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Storybook Gnomes DSP Pack.

Stampin Up Kindest Gnome Funfold Card by Laura Milligan Id Rather Bee Stampin

The next card I made uses the Whimsical Woodland embossing folder – I think it is a perfect compliment to the gnomes.  The mushroom and gnome were cropped right out of the Designer Series Paper – I LOVE when we can do that – it makes for creating a great card really quickly!  There are two sheets in the DSP pack of mushrooms and gnomes –  so you can make a lot of cards just by cropping the DSP!

Stampin Up Kindest Gnome Bundle Warm Wishes Card by Laura Milligan Id Rather Bee Stampin

This is also a fun fold – I cut a 1 inch strip off of the front panel of the card so that the inside panel would show.  This card went together quickly – and I embellished with the Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Gems.  I thought it would be fun to dress up the gnome’s hat – so added a big loopy bow made from White Baker’s Twine.

Stampin Up Kindest Gnome Warm Wishes Card by Laura Milligan Id Rather Bee Stampin

Here is the same card layout – with a different color palette –  Poppy Parade card base and the mushroom DSP.  Which is your favorite?
