A Fish & A Wish by StampinUP used on a Recent "Critter Card" w/ Cole & Mimi

On pg. 70 in the Annual Catalog, you will find the featured stamp set & punch. Besides the Fish & Wish Bundle, I used Champagne Rhinestones, and the Stylish Shapes Dies.

The card on the left was made by my 3-yr. old grandson, Cole. Every so often we get to make a card together and we always use some sort of a "critter". We are featured together in a few videos called "Critter Cards w/ Cole & Mimi" (his name for me). Limited media exposure is best, so these videos are always posted on my PRIVATE Facebook Group for my stamping business. (I can control who gets to see little Cole much better that way). Thanks for understanding.

I'm showing a couple "still" photos of little man AKA Cole. You can see how proud he is!

Always a happy boy, when we get to be downstairs in Mimi's craft room : )

I appreciate you blogging by today & please check back again soon! Make sure you ask any questions you might have on the above post. I would be glad to answer.

Also, if you need any stamping supplies, I’d be very happy to be your Demonstrator. Just click on the Shop Now button on the top right side of the screen to go directly to my online store. You can drop me an email or comment if you have a question: stampinfool2006@yahoo.com

Thanks so much, and Happy Stamping!! Lori

Critter Cards w/ Cole & Mimi Features In The Wild Designer Paper

As time allows, my grandson Cole & I make "critter" cards together (he is 2 1/2). Anyway, in my private Facebook Group-- Simple Stampin' Creations w/ Lori we do FB live videos when we are able to stamp together. He is SUPER cute, if I do say so myself!!

If you are not a SU demo, and do not buy from another demonstrator, you are welcome to join my private FB group. (sorry but this is the criteria I set forth from the beginning when I opened my VIP Facebook group). If you do belong to FB, and you qualify to join the group I mentioned, please send me a note and I can send you an invite. Thank you.

So anyway......about the Critter Card-- color combo is Cajun Craze, Soft Succulent, Crushed Curry, and White. On the card base, I used the Animal Print Embossing Folder. Other StampinUP products include:

--Stitched Rectangle Dies

--Give It A Whirl Dies (sentiment)

--Enjoy The Moment Stamp Set (sentiment)

--In The Wild Designer Paper

(the leopard was "fussy cut" from the designer paper)

Little Man (Cole) made the card on the left and I (Mimi) made the card on the right. Hope you like this creation today!!

Thank you for blogging by and Happy Stamping everyone.....Lori Helvick, StampinUP Demonstrator since 1999 and still loving my job!!

Critter Cards w/ Cole & Mimi Feature Awesome Otters Set from Sale-A-Bration!!

This card was made by "Mimi" (myself). I'm also sharing a couple cards today that were made by Cole (my 2-yr. old grandson). He loves to stamp, & we make the occasional "Critter Card" videos in my private Facebook group. Anyway for this creation, I used the following StampinUP products:

--Gingham Embossing Folder

--6 x 6 Subtles Designer Paper Collection

--Hippo & Friends Dies

--Give It A Whirl Dies

--Awesome Otters Stamp Set

--Stampin' Blends

The card on the left side is Coles version. The card on the right is the same one that is pictured above, and made by me. Colors include Pacific Point, Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake & White.

This is another set of "Critter Cards" that are from the last video we made together. Once again, Coles' card is on the left, and mine is on the right. A close-up picture of my sample is shown below as well.

The Color Combo for this card includes: Misty Moonlight, Smoky Slate, Evening Evergreen, and White. I used the Evergreen Elegance and Wildlife Wonder Stamp Sets. The Bark 3D Embossing Folder was used along with the Evening Evergreen Ribbon. Questions?-- please ask!!

AND......this is Cole (or little man as we call him). He loves to "help" so this was taken during the last snowstorm as his parents clean their driveway.

I appreciate you stopping by, and please visit my blog again soon! LORI

Critter Cards w/ Cole & Mimi: Party Puffins Stamp Set & Video Featured Today

I cased this card on-line but switched up a couple things to make it my own. (sorry I can't remember who the designer was because it was a couple months back).

Anyway, I used the following StampinUP Products on this creation:

--Pattern Party Designer Series Paper

--Retired Circle Punch (either 1 or 1 1/4 in.- again, memory)

--Party Puffins Stamp Set

--Stampin Blends

--Colored some White Seam Binding Ribbon

The card on the left was made by my 2 yr. old grandson, Cole. The card on the right (also above) was made by me-- A.K.A. Mimi.

Please watch the quick YouTube video below to see my "little man" create his card. I can guarantee a smile or 2 with all that cuteness overload!! (yes, I'm a little bias)

Thanks very much for blogging by.....LORI (MIMI)

Critter Cards with Cole & Mimi Featuring Sale-A-Bration 2021 Sheep

My card (Mimi) on the left & 2 yr. grandson (Cole)s card is on the right. Our Critter Card videos have been SO fun to do!! I think we both enjoy it : )

Don't forget Sale-A-Bration will be ending on Sept. 30th, so get all your FREE items you are wanting before time runs out with StampinUP!!

This might have been the very first critter card that Cole and I made together. Unfortunately, his card got used my his Mom for a relative and I no longer have a picture of it. Anyway, we used the Turtle Friends Stamp Set from the Annual Catalog. If you look on pg. 56 up in the top right corner, you will see I "cased" it and just switched a couple things a bit!

Now, here is our little man as Pop and I call him. He was one in this picture and will be 2 in 2 days!! By far this is my most favorite picture (that I took) of Cole. He and I do not share the same blood, but I still consider him my grandson in every way. Besides, what is there not to love about this cutie?

If you would like to be included in my private facebook group so you can view "Critter Cards w/ Cole & Mimi" videos, please let me know. I appreciate you allowing me to crow a little today......LORI

Critter Cards w/ Cole & Mimi (Episodes 4 & 5) Showcasing Stamp Sets- Way To Goat & Back On Your Feet

I've been making card videos with my grandson Cole who I call "little man". He calls me "Mimi" (so sweet). Cole will be 2 pretty soon, and he is turning out to be a natural in front of the camera!! We started making "critter" cards together back in June of this year. I think he is having as much fun as I am : ) What do you think of this goat birthday card which is featured in Video # 5 ?

The critter card video episodes we've been making are posted only in my private VIP Facebook group. (I need to monitor the exposure of sweet little man). If you would like to follow these videos though, and are on Facebook, please contact me for a special invitation to join "Simple Stampin' Creations w/ Lori". (Only Normal people and non-StampinUP demos will be accepted) .

This cute little sloth card was shown on Videos 3 & 4. (It took two short little video takes instead of 1, to get Cole interested. I did say he is almost 2, right? lol)

The stamp set "Back on Your Feet" was used on this card along with the Beauty of the Earth Designer Paper. That white ribbon is retired, but Cole said he did not mind! haha

If you have questions about either critter card creation, please let me know. I appreciate you taking the time to visit my blog. Stop back again soon!! LORI HELVICK
