New Gift Card Wallet Dies

Gift Card Wallet Banner

Our new Gift Card Wallet Die Set has so many possibilities. We cannot wait to see what you create with it.

Gift cards are often the present of choice for your gift recipients. They love doing the shopping and getting exactly what they want. But sometimes a gift card doesn’t seem like much of a present to the giver. The new Gift Card Wallet Die makes each gift card a present and a presentation that will be remembered.

In a new video, Fran shares our wonderful Gift Card Wallet and the other coordinating Cutting Dies and Perfectly Clear stamps that make gifting so much fun. More options are on the way for the Holidays in July! This die set will become a must-have in your collection. It’s not on our website yet, but you can find it at your favorite, local stamp store, and on many online places that sell Stampendous Products. The links to all the products are in the video description.

Pop Ups and Puppies – Friday

It’s been a dog-gone wonderful week with our four-legged friends and we think they were the most well-behaved, affectionate and allergen – free canines around!

We almost forgot to share our super cool video that gives you ideas and instructions on the Pop Up Kitties and Puppies Stamp Sets with the coordinating dies. If you haven’t seen it, do check it out. Fran shares some amazing projects with tips and techniques to get these pups put together just right.

We have some great sentiments that to bark about here. These sayings and accent images will be just what you need to complete your puppies project with sentiments for birthday, encouragement, humor, life and love.

Having just the right sentiment makes these Pop Up Puppies real characters. Here a few samples from this week’s designers post that show the sentiments so well.

When I mentioned earlier this week that the in-house designers created litters of these puppies it was not short of the truth. Look at these adorable cards all made by Debi Hammons!

We have more puppies to see! Some of our designers have doubled-up the activities going on here on our blog this week so it’s possible you might have spotted their designs earlier today on our super blog hop with Linnie Blooms. We would love for you to join us there as well, there are prizes up for grabs.

Pop Up Puppies Abound

We’re back today with more adorable puppies! These incredible little hounds can be made by the dozen, cut out with the coordinating dies and mix and matched for scrapbook pages, cards, party favor bags and more. Our in-house team was producing samples by the litter for our catalog that we are sharing here on the blog this week to show they are just that much fun to use!

What’s more thoughtful gesture as sending a card to someone who adores bow-wow’s of all kinds than a card with one popping out of a birthday box. This terrier Fido is ready to celebrate that someone’s birthday with a lot of heart. Heart balloons that is, that are added to the tabs of the Pop Up Die panel with the pretty pup up front and ready for the party! Here Fido borrowed a bow from the Pop Up Kitties Stamp Set so she would be dressed up for the party. So many wonderful parts to this card that make up such a great surprise inside the birthday card.

This next card has a well-behaved pup sitting along a tree-lined path to encourage the card’s recipient with a sentiment from the Life Words Perfectly Clear Stamp Set. It is certain, that it will be a treat to see for whoever opens up this card!

The Frugal Crafter, Lindsay Weirich inked up her set of Pop Up Puppies Stamp Set and made a video of her super quick card for a birthday party her son was invited to attend. She is a testament to creating great projects when you are strapped for time and still getting great results. Her card turned out so adorable! See for yourself just how quickly she put together her card!

We’ve warmed up the inspiration stage with some puppy play and there is more from these designers sharing their special hound projects today on their blogs!

It is going to be a fantastic Monday Stampendous friends where our weekly theme will bring smiles to your face with inspiration for pop up puppy love!

If you are thinking that we just posted something about a blog hop with Linnie Blooms this week, you are correct! We are joining the design team over at Linnie Blooms for a mixed media collaboration, so make sure you stop by and check them out every day this week, but we also wanted to share some puppy love from our April 2015 catalog! There is going to be lots of inspiration and fun all around this week and we hope you’ll join us for all of it!

With graduation ceremonies upon us in the US, I thought a fabulous and adorable graduating puppy card was just right to start off the week. This smart canine was created by in-house designer Terry Braddock and it is created with our Pop Up Die Set so he is popping away from the inside of the card when opened!

Spark Up Your Life

Best friends to the very end, Screwloose N Sparky are quite a pair and so expressive for robots. From the Perfectly Clear Stamp Set you can give them a voice with great robot sayings and even a robot-style heartbeat like Screwloose is sporting on this portrait stamp here.

Sparky is such a happy bot-pup that his tail never stops wagging even when the rest of him is perfectly still as on this namesake rubber stamp.

The designers this week did an amazing job on all their projects, bringing out all things robot themed and creating with simple and fun ideas. Wendy Price was so kind to let us post one of her great projects here on the blog using the Screwloose and Sparky Perfectly Clear Stamp Set.
