A Peek A Boo Technique featuring Stampin’Up!’s Elements Of Text Stamp Set

in Cardmaking on 02/08/25

Hello Crafters, Bonjour!

Happy Saturday to you!  I’m so excited to share that I am only 800 CSV away from achieving my 300 000 CSV career sales.  That’s almost $400 000 Canadian Dollars.  Thank you for everyone who has placed an order with me (big or small) every dollar counts, also for those who have grabbed some classes to go or attended my in person classes.  You have helped me get closer and closer to this personal goal.  I am truly grateful…

This week, I’m featuring the Mixed Florals and Mixed Labels Bundles and decided to pair it with the Elements Of Text Stamp Set.  This stamp set is a staple to add to a Papercrafter’s collection.  Especially if you like a vintage style just like me.

Before I share my projects for today, make sure to check out my other projects from this week:

  • Catch my first card featuring the Mixed Labels and Mixed Florals Bundle HERE
  • Project #2 HERE
  • A Fun Fold Card HERE

In French the Suite is called Fleurs Et Techniques Mixtes (you can shop the link in my store below)

Featuring the Mixed Labels Bundle, the Mixed Floral Bundle and Elements Of Text

I love this design so much that I decided to feature a couple of elements for my coordinating box for my in person class ( February 12th in Ontario) and class to go.  And yes… there will be a a pdf option for those who are interested.

How to achieve the Peek A Boo effect?

  • Stamp an image from the Elements Of Text into versamark
  • Add White Wow Embossing Powder
  • Heat Set with the Heat Tool
  • Add Soft Sea Foam Ink with a Blending Brush and voila!

The Echinacea Card or Daisy Card

The LadyBug Card

I adore the ladybug version of my card. I added leftover Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper from the Scrapbooking Brochure.

The Tulip Card

I am going to use the tulip card for my mom’s birthday since she was born in Amsterdam.  I feel that making this card for her will make it that much more personal.

I used the Purple Adhesive Backed Sequins that are free with a qualifying order during Sale A Bration.  (the white ones that are in the package)

Layers of love and creativity 🦋
For this month’s Stampin’ Up! Creative Challenge…Using @stampinupofficial’s Make a Memory Scrapbooking Kit, I paired it with the Beautiful Butterfly Bundle to create this dimensional design. The butterfly was die cut from coordinating cardstock, inspired by the colors in the kit.  Color Combination:  Darling Duckling, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon, Cloud Cover. 

Every gift box deserves beautiful wings.

I paired it with sentiments from the Scenic Adventure Bundle, and for the background, I reached for my new favorite: the Party Banners Dies. They add just the right touch!
