Cheep Talk Card Set with Decorated Tin
Posted on: Saturday, May 23rd, 2009
Happy Memorial Day weekend to all my US readers! Today I thought I’d share with you a card set I made using my Cheep Talk stamp set and the Good Morning Sunshine Designer Paper (DP). I figured that since this DP will be retiring in just over a month I’d better start looking for ways to use it up (and other retiring DP’s as well). Since I absolutely LOVE creating matched sets of projects, I decided to create a set of four 4″ x 4″ thank you notes with a coordinating card tin. My tin is actually one of Stampin’ Up!’s Flower Fusion tins. Once I had used up all the felt flowers, I saved the tin in order to alter it.
The nice thing about creating card sets like this one is that you don’t have to think too much about your design and layout. I used the same design for all the cards and simply switched up the pattern of DP I used for each card.
The cards are fairly straightforward to make, the only thing that may bear explaining is how I created the sky & clouds background which you can see in the close-up picture below. I punched out two scalloped ovals out of Whisper White CS using my Scallop Oval punch. I then stuck them to the Whisper White CS circle. Both “clouds” hung over the edge of the circle so I trimmed them. I then took a wedge of Stamping Sponge and sponged all around the edge of the Whisper White CS circle and around the clouds with a small amount of Baja Breeze Classic ink.
The next picture shows you a close-up of the tin I decorated:
The last picture is a close-up of the tin’s embellishment:
I have included a full supply list at the bottom of this post, of course all supplies are Stampin’ Up!. I didn’t have time to edit more Disney pictures for you yet, so I’ll be sharing Day 3 of Disney with you on Monday.

Love this little card set. Very eye catching and happy. I like card sets and this is one of my fav stamp sets. I think I bought all the stamps on the two pages where this set is. Love it!
May 25th, 2009 at 7:10 am
Very cute set–would make a great gift. I like how you just swapped out the DP on each card.
May 25th, 2009 at 7:44 am
I love visiting your blog. The creativity & inspiration you provide is amazing. This gift set is beautiful & I love that little bird.

Love this card set, the stamp set, the DP, and the new Facebook page – awesome!
May 25th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
This is so cute! I love making up card sets. I try to keep at least one completed set on had for quick gifts for friends, neighbors, teachers… you get the idea! I absolutely love all the classes by e-mail that you do. I use these ideas all the time!
May 25th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
I love how just changing the dsp makes the cards each different but coordinated. One question – When you make 4X4 cards like this do you include envelopes or they cards to just include with a hand delivered gift?
May 26th, 2009 at 7:40 am
This is adorable. I love it!
May 26th, 2009 at 10:16 am
Very cute set. I love how you made the clouds!
May 27th, 2009 at 9:13 am
Again I like it when you use a stamp set that I normally would not have bought and show me why I should buy it.
May 28th, 2009 at 7:07 am
This is a beautiful collection! I love how you kept the focal points all the same but changed up the backgrounds to tie the set together. Great way to recycle by using the Flower Fusion tin as well! Thanks for sharing.
May 28th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
WoWza!
June 9th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
This stamp set is starting to grow on me but I have to tell you this gift card set rocks.
June 18th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
How cute is this. I spend all my time looking at your wonderful creations, I forget to create my own. Awesome as usual!! Don’t stop.
June 28th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
I must say, I am so impressed with your ideas and with your work!!! I have been a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator for a couple of years now and I basically “get-by”. I sell my cards & projects at local craft shows and would love to make a business out of this. I would love to know how you do it?!?!?!? Any advice for someone who wants to get started and just doesn’t know how?
