I have being talking alot about getting value from the Stamp Sets that you choose to invest in.  In my opinion a worthwhile purchase is “Party Hearty”.

Here is a card that I cased from Marelle

Stamp Set: Party Hearty, Polka Dot.

Cardstock/Ink: Baja Breeze, Whisper White, Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip.

It is a little hard to see in the photo but the Riding Hood Red layer has been crimped.

Hopefully you are not sick of seeing this stamp set!

Here are my last few cards to share….

This one is super easy, especially because of the 1 inch circle punch.  They are sitting up on dimensionals to give a bit more interest.

Another easy masculine card, perfect for when you are time poor.  You could easily change this to more feminine colours.

Last but not least….

Here is a card that Steph designed for our World Card Making event last year.  I absolutely love this card, I’ll have to make a few to pop into my stash!

Next week I’ll share a bunch of cards that I have made with “Party Hearty”.

Here is a very easy layout that is super quick, you could whip a batch of these in no time.  Decide on your ribbon colour, then coordinate the background cardstock, use these same two colours in your stamping (in this case Really Rust for the cardstock, Chocolate Chip for the ribbon) and then add in your third colour in your stamping, in this case So Saffron.  If you can choose the first colour/s but just want some suggestions for colours to finish it off you can go here:

Here is another card, the colours have not come through accurately in the photo, believe it or not that ribbon is “Rose Red”.

As you can see it is a much softer version of the card above.

When I was new to the world of Stampin’ Up! and was just trying to build up a stash (and still have money for food) I would try to buy Stamp Sets that would enable me to make a wide range of cards.  Some of my favourite versatile sets are “Baroque Motifs”, “Party Hearty” and “Circle Circus”.  Over the next couple of weeks I will share some simple cards that showcase this versatility, starting with Circle Circus.

C ircle Circus is great for masculine cards.  I have added the sentiment from “On your birthday”.  Here you can see the Scallop Oval punch.  Remember that even though it was from the Spring Mini catalogue you are still able to purchase it.

Happy Stampin’.

Cards for boys and men can be a challenge for me.  It is one of the main requests I get from customers also so I guess I am not alone!  Here is one made from the super cute “Hoppy For You” stamp set:

• Stamp set: Hoppy for You, Sanded.
• Cardstock: Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise, Close to Cocoa, Whisper White.
• Inks: Old Olive, Close to Cocoa,
• Accessories: Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon, Clips Assortment, Dimensionals.
