5 New cards using the New November 2021 “Yippee” Card Kit

 Hi Everyone πŸ’•

Here are my cards I made using the November “Yippee” card kit.  And I will be using the New A1 card base dies we got for this month.  Mostly Everything I used for these cards you have in the card kit. 

You can find these products here at the Stamps of Life website:  https://thestampsoflife.com/

 Super fun kit. I Love it.  Here is my 1st of 5 cards πŸ’•






This 1st card is a shaker card.

  The sequins I used were the candy cane, citrus fun, and aqua dreams.  

The 3’d ink pen I used was the white pen. Then after the dried I colored them whatever color I wanted them to be.  Mine were yellow and green. All the rest of the flower centers are the blue crystal from the card kit.  If you wanted to use all crystals you could do that instead.  

I cut the “Yippee” die words (3x’s) from blueberry c/s then glued each of them together to get a stack.  I then cut  the background paper from a piece of white glitter paper.  Put glue on the back of my yippee stack and put a large stamping block on top to let dry.  Set aside

Now using your New die set I cut from powdered sugar c/s the card itself and set it aside.  Using one side of that die I used it to cut 1 paper out of poppy c/s.   (On the poppy paper the center line only scores…so I took it to my paper trimmer and cut along the score line).  I then glued it to my powdered sugar card base. 

I then used the smaller rectangle die and cut 1 out of whatever paper u want to be the back side of ur shaker card   

And now I cut the top piece with the vines   I used kiwi c/s  I used the vine die and the rectangle dies tougher so I got an edge around that piece…u need that edge to put ur double sided tape to make it stand up for ur shaker to be able to shake.  This is called foam adhesive on the TSOL site.  NOTE I did not put the foam adhesive on until after I cute the top vine piece…I did not want the vines to stand taller than the acetate.  I ONLY used the foam adhesive around the edges AFTER I adhered the acetate to my kiwi vine paper.   

So here is how it stacked

Kiwi vine paper cut out with edge

I use thin score tape to the underneath side of the kiwi vine paper and then put my acetate upon top of the tape   So it should look like you can look thru it   

I then cut the adhesive sheets into very thin strips and put it all the way around on the acetate (no gapes)

Set aside   

Glue ur patterned paper onto of the poppy c/s  

Now use powder or whatever you use to rub on the paper so the sequins can move around.  Then add ur sequins in the middle of the paper.  

Take you window sheet with the adhesive strips and carefully line it us to the edges all meet perfectly-press down  

To decorate the front of the card I cut blueberry, poppy, cantaloupe, sky and banana flowers using the last die   I then glued them down on top of the kiwi flowers and decorated the centers with the blue crystals or 3 ‘d inks   If you do use the 3’d inks remember to let it dry over nite   

The inside I decorated it with some different colored vines and a saying from Morechalksayings2stamp   

On this card use whatever colors or sayings you want. Super fun card. 

I love this size.

Card #2 A-1 card

Super easy and fast card





Cut 1 A1 card base using the vines and flower extra die from Powdered Sugar c/s  fold on score lines and set aside

Cut 1 piece of licorice c/s  4 13/16” x 3 7/16” 

Cut 1 piece of acetate 4 3/4” x3 3/4” 

Now is the time to color the vines and flowers with ur markers or whatever you use to color with.  Color only to the edge of the powdered sugar paper so it will have a white framed border. 

I used tear and tape to connect the acetate to the top of the licorice c/s edges.  Now is when I connected the licorice to the card base.  When doing that I used tear and tape around the edges and I used gently multi purpose glue to put on the back side of the vines and flowers to connect it to the acetate.  Be sure to not put too much glue,  so it doesn’t leak onto the acetate.  And be sure not to put your licorice and acetate paper to close to the inside fold line.  Just close enough to get a good fold when ur card closes.  You may have to cut off any excess licorice paper if it hangs over the edge 

Now add your sentiment and ur rhinestones and or sequins.  Decorate the inside and add a sentiment. And card #2 is finished.  I know your card is Beautiful πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•

Card #3 A-1 card base

Cut 1 A-1 card base from Powdered Sugar c/s







Using the inside rectangle die cut 1 from powered sugar c/s. Set aside

Now I took the inside rectangle die along with the vines die- centered it evenly and cut it out. Now you should have a vine piece of c/c with the frame around it.  Set it aside
Now go back to the 1st rectangle and using ur blender brush blend all different colors for your background.  After you are done set it aside to dry. 
Next using ur sharp scissors gently and evenly cut the vines away from the edge.  Keep the vines and flowers.  You just want an even cut line.  
Now color all the vines and flowers.  Make sure the colors match your back ground paper you made.   There will be some separates vines and flowers that are still together.  Don’t worry about them going where they were-just start glueing them down onto the paper you created. Try and evenly place them and add flowers where there already is one.  Just make it look pretty.  (I cut some different color flowers to go where the other flowers were).  After the background paper has the vines & flowers add clouds from the kit. (Try and stay away from the edge where ur white frame will be).  Add dimensional tape to pop up your frame and pla e it around you picture.  Then add you sentiment-popped up and ur ribbon & ur hearts.   Now is when you used the 3’d gel, rhinestones or sequins whatever you have for the centers of flowers. 

Set it aside to dry.  
Then connect it to your A1 card base.  
Your card is beautiful πŸ’•

Card #4 A-1 card base

This card is made just like card #3.  Super easy to make.  







1 Powdered Sugar A-1 card base using the vine insert.  Score and set aside
Cut 1 piece of vanilla c/s 4 13/16”x 3 7/8”
This will fit inside the card underneath flowers.  Just make sure when you glue these together not to get carried away with the glue. Mostly around the edges and little dots on the vines and flowers will be best. 
Set aside 
Now cut with powdered sugar the flower die. 
Add ur sentiment to your card wherever you want it to go. If you want to pop it up do it now. Then 
go on to adding ur flowers. 
Using the end of a pencil or something that you can press into the center to form the flat  flowers into standing up petals.  Be gentle. I use the eraser end of a pencil and my secret weapon and gently press into the center and that is easy.  After you do this to the flower centers set them aside.  Now cut a piece of kiwi c/s and about 1/4” by 3 inches.  This is how I make leaves.  I cut a ( ) but I connect them at the top and the bottoms to form a leaf.  Make any size you want by just adjusting the width. This is how I get all my leaves the same size.  
Now that you have ur leaves and flowers made go back to you card base and glue on top of each flat  flower a flower and 3 leaves.  
When you feel you have enough you are done with you card. 
Super simple card

Card #5 A2 size card  8 1/2” x4 1/4” score @ 5 1/2” 







This is the only A2 card I made. 
Cut 1 A2 size card base - I used Powdered Sugar c/s

Cut 1 piece of powdered sugar c/s 4” x 5 1/4”

Using masking tape I masked off the colors about 1” apart all the way down the paper.    I used cantaloupe, sunshine, & blueberry.  
I then put TSOL Adhesive on the back of some Powered Sugar c/s and cut the vine and flower die and colored the vines with kiwi, green apple and artichoke.  Save the frame from around it. 
Color the vines and flowers..my vines were green apple, kiwi, and artichoke…my flowers were cantaloupe and strawberry.   It them apart and glue them down onto the top 1/2 of your card.  Then add the flowers.  
Now  the white frame from around the vines and flowers you just cut…  I  colored it strawberry with my TSOL makers.  Lay it down evenly on the front of your paper.  I then added ribbon from ur kit and a bow. Cut out of the paper pad some tiny pockets stamped with “A Little Pocket Hug” and popped it up
 (in between the strawberry border )using dimensional tape.  I triple die cut the word die “Yippee” using TSOL adhesive sheets and put the 3 together for dimension and placed it on top of the ribbon.  Now I added the cloud and the centers to the flowers. I used the blue rhinestone center included in the card kit and 3’d ink pen.  
The inside I decorated it with a pocket some left over flowers and  sentiment from the Pockethugs2stamp set. The little word hug I hand wrote and put it as if it was connected to the pocket.  

Here are my 5 cards from the Yippee card kit.  I hope you post the cards you make so we can all see them.  

    Enjoy πŸ’•

TSOL’s NEW Smile Fold-it just came out

Smile Fold-it

Stephanie’s  “Smile Fold-it” video

https://youtu.be/r7d18Tv_gSo





How did I make this.

Super easy card

Using the Fold-it I picked out the colors I wanted to use.

My colors are:

1-Cherry c/s for the fold-it card (largest die) use die on top or side ***look for the words  “place fold here words on die)  to see where to line up your paper  

1- Cherry c/s for the piece on top of the fold-it (largest die)

1-Black piece of c/s for the shadow (2nd largest die)

1- TSOL patterned paper for the letters (letter dies)

After you do all the cutting of your pieces ( you should have 3 pieces of card stock and 5 letters and one dot for the i.  I set the front & back connected paper aside and work on the top pieces -then after I have put the top 2 papers and letters together I glue it to the Fold-it paper   

Cut 1 piece of the c/s to put on the inside to write on   I use the 2nd largest die for the inside it make it smaller   Decorate that paper however you want   I used the llama2stamp stamps.  Glue it down and ur card is done.  Now is when I use the 3’d ink pens (let the ink dry overnight). If you ink the outside and the inside put an stamping block inside to hold it up to dry.

Hope you Enjoy this card. 

 I loved making it.
