Facebook Event


On to our 5 ingredient card tutorial



Today we are doing a wonderful, masculine Father's Day card for any of the special men in your life!


Step 1:  Gather your supplies


  • TUXEDO BLACK MEMENTO INK PAD

    $6.50

  • BASIC WHITE 8-1/2" X 11" CARDSTOCK

    $10.50

  • ADVENTUROUS SKY BUNDLE (ENGLISH)


  • TAKE TO THE SKY 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER


  • INDUSTRIAL TRINKETS


*you will not see prices on the Adventurous Sky Bundle, Take to the Sky DSP or Industrial Trinkets as these items will not be available until May 1st in the new 2024-2025 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.



Step 2: Cut out your card elements

You will need a 5.5"x8.5" sheet of Basic White Cardstock, scored and folded at 4.25".  1 sheet 12"x12" pattern from the Take to the Sky paper pack that you will cut a panel 5.25"x4" to use as your background.  Then using the memory card paper, cut out the panel showing the airplanes flying up into the sky with clouds.




5.5"x4.25" card base



Step 3: adhere your background panel to your card base as shown above.


Step 4: Next stamp "happiest father's day" in Tuxedo Black ink onto the upper right corner of your airplane panel.






Step 5:  Adhere the airplain panel to the background with Stampin' Dimensionals at a slight angle. Finally add your embelishments.  I used 3 and selected random locations.



That's it, you're done!!


I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.  Please like and comment below (show me some love!)


Stay tuned for a preview of the other 2 cards we will be making at the April 27th card class.

We'll be missing you!

 Good evening friends!!


This evening I am sharing with you a project that I have been challanged by Stampin' Up! to complete.  #SimpleStamping Challange 

Using products that are on the last chance/retiring list to create a Thank You card.  So here is what I worked on this evening.

As of April 9th you will be able to order (while supplies last) a number of the discounted retired products!  How fun is that.  So if you see it and want it, don't let it slip away!  The stampset used here was Dainty Delight and it is on that retiring list and will be discounted by 30% on April 9th, that means you can get this set for less than $20.00!  Along with many more products discounted up to 60%!  You can see that list on my website.





I am SO excited that I received my print version of the 2024-2025 Stampin' Up! Catalog! Up until now I have only been able to look at the PDF version.  It is beautiful and I cannot wait to share with you what delights are between these covers!!


If you would like a free calalog please send me a message or email to builderwife79@gmail.com  I should be receiving my shipment in the next week or so.

If you spend over $50.00 in my web shop you will be eligible to receive or attend my Card Making Class on April 27th at 2pm! Will mail class kit on May 1st after all have attended. Or if out of the local area I will mail a kit to you with full tutorial!



I cannot wait to share all the new projects and class ideas.  Reach out to me if you have any question, want to receive a brand new catalog free of charge ($4.00 value) or would like to have your own class in your home!
