The planner is larger than 6" x 8" but not 8.5" x 11" The cover is beautifully designed vinyl and padded with a magnetic latch.

There are multiple pockets to put your notes, credit cards, business cards and more. The monthly tabs are numbered to use how you would like.

Here's an example of what the inner pages look like.

The Making Plans stamp set and 3 additional notebooks come with the planner.

You get more pages to cover the 18 months, but they will not all fit in the planner at once. There are two pages of stickers to help with your planning notes.

Once the 18 months of planner supplies are used up, a quick Google search revealed that there are commercial supplies available to continue using this gorgeous binder indefinitely.

Three Rusty Robots Come Together to Make the Cutest Stampin' Up! Children's Happy Birthday Card for Your Favorite Little Ones

I had a request from one of my customers to create a Birthday Card for her three year old grandson. This is what I came up with. What little boy wouldn't love to get these three rusty robots wishing him a wonderful birthday? 

To get the rust on Stampin' Up!s Nuts and Bolts stamp set was easy. Use a Cajun Craze watercolor pencil to shade in the spots you want on the stamped robot images. Then use a Blender pen to smooth out your patches of rust. So easy!

The center robot's red heart was a scrap of Real Red cardstock with the middle of the center robot stamped again in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then fussy cut out and glued on. That little robot was raised up on dimensionals so he would "stand-out"!

This short list of Supplies are available to order at my online store. Click each photo to shop.

Retired items used – Nuts & Bolts Stamp set from the Jan.-June 2022 Mini Catalog, and the Celebrate Today Stamp set. You may find these items offered on Ebay or Etsy, or feel free substitute what you think looks pleasing to you.

Pick This Birthday Card For Your Friend Made with Stampin' Up!s Sweetest Cherries Stamp Set and a Simple Four Color Theme

Since we are still in the season of summer for a little while longer, and cherries grow in the summertime, do you have a friend who would love to receive this birthday card from you? 

I love to work in Black and White and one (or two) other colors. But if you are going to nit-pik, technically there is a fifth color, but it is used so little, I'm not counting it.

Now matter how many colors you include, this card design is an easy one to put together by following the photo below.

Do you like Black and White card designs? Let me know in the comments.

Those cherries look almost good enough to eat!

This list of Supplies are available to order at my online store. Click each photo to shop.

 

Retired Products used – Pattern Party Designer Series Paper & Scalloped Seasonal Layers Dies. You may find these items offered on Ebay or Etsy, or feel free substitute what you think looks pleasing to you.

Project Directions:

Cut Sweet Sorbet cardstock card base 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", score at 4-1/4".

 

Cut Basic White cardstock layer - need two pieces - one for front layer 

and one for inner layer 4" x 5-1/4".

Cut Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (DSP) black diamond pattern - 3/4" x 4".

Cut Pattern Party Gingham pattern 2-1/2" x 4" and 3/4" x 4" strip for inner card layer.

Take one piece of the Basic White layer and lay (do not glue) the two pieces of black and white on the front in the position shown in the photo.

Stamp the images shown. If you are successful on the first try. Then go ahead and adhere the black and white pieces to the Basic White piece.

Cut Granny Apple Green cardstock for the scallop die 3/4" x 4". After die cutting adhere to card front as shown.

Use some Basic White scraps for cherry parts. I recommend three various size pieces. One pieces large enough to stamp two cherries at each end say 2" x 5". Another piece a half inch wide by 5 inches long for the stems being stamped also one at each end. Lastly a 1" wide by 4" piece for the two leaves, again stamped at each end. By doing it this way, you will have a "handle" to hold on to when using the Cherry Builder Punch.

After stamping and punching the cherry parts start assembly using glue dots to stick the stems on, put the leaves together and later add the bow. The cherries and leaves portions are raised up with mini dimensionals on the card front.

Finish by adding your Rhinestone Jewels. Add the second piece of Basic White to the inner card and add the small strip of DSP for an accent.

Add a coordinating piece of DSP for the envelope flap cut at 2-3/8" x 6". Adhere and trim excess.

Well Done You!

Check Out Stampin' Up!s Sale-a-Bration Reward Choice of the Wonderful World Stamp Set and Designer Series Paper Thank You Card You Can CASE

 Have you heard of CASE? It means "Copy and Share Everything", but some others have been creative and also called it "Copy and Selectively Edit." No matter what you call it, many card makers CASE others ideas for inspiration and to improve their skills. 

This card was inspired by Su Mohr, but I did "Copy and Selectively Edit" this one with the addition of the retired embossing folder. 

I used a very retired Embossing Folder called Pretty Print, but I think having the 3D look with the writing is very cool because when you give this card away, you too will be writing on the inside!

The Wonderful World Designer Series Paper has a lot of beautiful 

flower images that are fun to fussy cut out. I love to fussy cut out things while watching/listening to television.

As a fun addition to the inside of the card I added 

1-1/2" x 4" strip of Orchid Oasis Designer Series Paper (DSP) to the right side of the inner layer.

On top went a 1-1/2" circle punch of a flower image from Wonderful World DSP.
