Cheers & Sips Cards & Scrapbook Pages

March 6, 2026 March 5, 2026All Occasion Cards, Crop & Cruise Retreat, Scrapbook / Memory Keeping

For one of the classes for my Stamp, Crop & Cruise Retreat, I give each of the crafters the option of a set of 6 cards or 6 scrapbook pages. For the cruise to the Southern Caribbean I used the Cheers & Sips Bundle (stamp set & dies) along with the coordinating Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper.

Each of the cards used the Party Banner Dies for the card base. A 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of cardstock was scored in half, then the 6th largest of the Party Banner Dies was placed just over the fold before running through the Stampin’ Cut & Embossing Machine to create the card base.

For some of the cards, the images of the glasses were stamped on the Celebratory Sips Designer Paper, then die-cut out while some of the other cards had the images of the glasses stamped on Basic White with various inks colors rubbed over the image with a blending brush before being die-cut.

Various sizes of the Party Banner Dies were used for the layering matts while the Frosted Iridescent Dots embellished each card.

The fruit on the side of the glasses were accomplished by stamping and die-cutting the fruit slice and rubbing ink over the image. We then cut a slice into each fruit which allowed us to hang the fruit on the edge of the glass.

For this card, a little fussy cutting went a long way in allowing us to choose which beverages we wanted to use on the card. All of the sentiments for the cards came from the Cheers & Sips stamp set except the one that says “Relax & Enjoy” which came from the Notes & Totes stamp set.

Notice the texture on the glass of this card. That was created with one of the dies from the Cheers & Sips Dies. Instead of cutting an image out, it leaves and embossed image on the paper.

Each of the six scrapbook pages used the Celebratory Sips DSP as well, and all were embellished with the same Frosted Iridescent Dots.

The Party Banner Dies were used to make the banners on the scrapbook pages as well.

More fussy cutting of the beverages were used to embellish some of the pages.

The Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder added some texture to the elements on these pages.

Sentiments used on these pages came from the Beach Time stamp set.

The Cheers & Sips stamp set is still available to order and is offered as a Last Chance product at a sale price, but the Cheers & Sips Dies, the Celebratory Sips DSP and the Frosted Shimmer Dots have all sold out and are no longer available to order.

Be sure to check back over the next few days as I have more class projects from our Stamp, Crop & Cruise to the Southern Caribbean to share with you.

Charming Day Missing Middle Fun Fold Cards

March 5, 2026 March 4, 2026All Occasion Cards, Crop & Cruise Retreat, Fun Folds Cards

Comments: 0

When the Charming Day Bundle (stamp set & coordinating dies) came out along with coordinating Floral Charm Designer Series Paper I knew I wanted to use these for one of the class projects for Stamp, Crop & Cruise Retreat. I decided to create a simple fun fold card called Missing Middle.

For this vertical card we started with a 4-1/4″ x 11″ Pretty Peacock card base and cut the middle out of the card front. The front was then reassembled by adding some die-cut pieces from the Branching Out Dies. The die-cut layers hold the bottom portion of the card front to the top flap. Pretty Peacock and Berry Burst Stampin’ Blends were used to color the images and we used the Charming Shimmer Dots to finish it off.

This second vertical card used the same principle as the first card except we started with a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Blackberry Bliss card base which we cut the middle out of. Once again the Branching Out Dies were used to die-cut the pieces that put the front back together again. The images was colored with Berry Burst and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends.

Next we went horizontal for this card starting with a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Pretty Peacock card base. The amount that get’s cut out of the middle depends on what sentiment or image you’re putting on the inside to show through the front. Any size at all will work.

The final card is another horizontal version. So, you can see how easy the Missing Middle Cards are to make and there’s so much versatility to them. I hope you’ll give it a try sometime.

The Charming Day stamp set and the Charming Shimmer Dots are no longer available as they have sold out, but the dies are available as a Last Chance item at a reduced price and the beautiful Floral Charm Designer Series Paper is still available.

Be sure to check back over the next few days to see more of the projects we all made on our Stamp, Crop & Cruise to the Southern Caribbean.

Beautiful Blues Card Kit Reimagined

March 4, 2026 March 4, 2026All Occasion Cards, Crop & Cruise Retreat, Fun Folds Cards, Techniques

Comments: 0

One of the class projects for my Stamp, Crop & Cruise Retreat used the gorgeous Stampin’ Up! kit called Beautiful Blues. I love the look of a classic blue and white card, but I wanted to use the kit in a different way than how it was designed. By adding Night of Navy and Basic White cardstock as well as Silver Foil Sheets, I was able to design 8 cards that incorporated different techniques and folds.

The lovely white flowers on blue is actually part of an original card from the kit. I cut it down to the size I wanted and mounted it on a Basic White piece that was embossed with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder, then mounted it on Silver Foil and Night of Navy before adding it to a Thick Basic White card base. A roll of the Misty Moonlight & Silver Edges Ribbon was included in their embellishments bag.

Here’s another beautiful blue and white print from an original card in the kit. The stamp set and Night of Navy Stampin’ Spot used on all of the cards was also part of the kit.

More of the print on the previous card but this time it was cut on the diagonal and added to an embossed piece of Basic White. We added the die-cut flowers from the kit and stamped one of the sentiments on a label that was also part of the kit.

This time the embossing was done on a piece of Night of Navy. We then did some fussy cutting around a piece of the white flower on blue print. Did you notice the pretty blue dots on each of the cards? Those were part of the Beautiful Blues Kit as well.

This vertical Z-Fold card was super simple to create. For the front panel once again we embossed the Night of Navy with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder. A bow was tied in the ribbon and wrapped around the embossed piece before adding it to Silver Foil. The floral image was stamped with the Night of Navy Stampin’ Spot and fussy cut before adding it to the front panel of the card.

The center flap of the card was stamped. For the back panel of the card we simply attached the die-cut sheet that is also part of the kit.

This card features the “Masking” technique. We used one of the die-cut sheets from the kit which was laid down on a piece of Basic White, then using a Blending Brush and the Night of Navy Ink we lightly rubbed the ink over the die-cut mask covering the basic white piece. When the mask was removed, it revealed this soft blue and white image. More die-cut flowers from the kit were added to the card.

Here’s a simple Fun Fold using some of the same elements used on the other cards.

Here’s the final card in this beautiful 8 card set. The blue paper is another of the original cards that we cut up for a background piece. We then cut one of the die-cut sheets into pieces and added them to the far outside panels. More floral die-cuts and stamping was done for the front fold of the card and it was all finished off with more of the Beautiful Blues Embellishments.

In this photo you can see all of the items that come in the Beautiful Blues Card Kit from Stampin’ Up!
