Fabulous Friday: Stampin' Blends colored Gnome for the Holidays Christmas card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! You may already know this about me, but I am not a huge fan of coloring. I know that adult coloring books are all the rage right now, but give me a solid image stamp and I am a happy camper. However, I am starting to warm up to the fabulous line of alcohol markers that Stampin' Up! introduced a few years ago called Stampin' Blends.  We are featuring this product line in our Fabulous Friday projects that we are sharing over on the Sisters in Stamping blog today.  I decided to make a Christmas card with the super cute Gnome for the Holidays stamp set.  I didn't go crazy with coloring, but I like how he turned out.

 

 

  I got in an order of goodies from the Holday catalog and just had to use them, even though I know Christmas is still 4-1/2 months away. How stinkin' cute is this little Gnome?!?!  I stamped him with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a panel of whisper white cut out with the new Celebraion Labels dies.  And check out the cool plaid DSP in the background - it is from the Plaid Tidings 6"x 6" DSP stack.  I also used some new Embroidered ribbon for added texture.  

 

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the card. You can't really see it, but in the white stripes of the hat I used my Clear Wink of Stella brush for some glittery fun.  The center of the bow at the end of the hat is a tiny rhinestone from the  Holiday pack. The Stampin' Blends I used to color the little guy include Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate and Soft Suede. The ornament was colored with Daffodil Delight and Night of Navy - not traditional Christmas colors, but I thought they were fun.   The card base is shaded spruce card stock and the mat is cherry cobbler - both colors found in the DSP.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my little Gnome Christmas card.  For more Stampin' Blends ideas and inspiration, please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created this week.

Fabulous Friday: Playful Pets Birthday Note Card Set

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! I am a HUGE fan of Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Stampin' Up! has the best patterns and color palettes in my humble opinion.  We are featuring DSP this week in our Fabulous Friday projects that we are sharing over on the Sisters in Stamping blog today.  I decided to make a mini birthday card set using the Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes along with the Playful Pets DSP and Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set. 

 

 

  How stinking cute is this Playful Pets DSP?!?!?  I just love the images in this paper, and am especially fond of the dog images since we have 3 dogs that we've adopted (Mika, Vlad and Bruno), plus a grand-pup (Miso) who is also a rescue. I am a firm believer in the Adopt-don't-Shop philosophy!!

 

 

Aren't these pups the cutest?!?!  We sure do love them!

 

 

  Here's a close-up view of the first card. I just LOVE the sas on this dog's face!  It just cracks me up, ha ha.  I fussy cut the image and popped it up on a whisper white card stock piece that I stamped and cut out using the Label Me Lovely punch.  I embellished with a piece of braided linen twine. 

 

 

  How stinkin' cute are these pups?!?!  They were also fussy cut from a sheet of the DSP and popped up on each whisper white card stock panel.  I stamped the birthday sentiment with the new In color Cinnamon Cider - a color that is in both doggie images.  This black and white DSP panel is great for a backdrop, featuring repeating words all about dogs.

 

 

  Here is my last card - I kept it simple and really wanted to feature the fun pattern of this DSP piece.  I fussy cut the dog image and added it to the bottom of the card and tied it up with some braided linen trim for added texture.  Recognize the punch used for the sentiment? I used the Classic Label punch for both the whisper white piece and the mat behind it. I had cut out 2 more punched pieces of basic black and cut them in half to mount behind the whisper white card stock. It helped the sentiment to pop off the busy DSP pattern.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my Playful Pets birthday note card set. For more DSP ideas and inspiration, please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created this week. 

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous weekend!

Fabulous Friday: Christmas in July card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! With Christmas just 5 months away, it's never too early to get started making your hand-stamped Christmas cards.  This week for Fabulous Friday we are sharing our Christmas in July cards over on the Sisters in Stamping blog. I have not placed a preorder yet from the upcoming  Holiday catalog, but thankfully the Perfectly Plaid stamp set, coordinating Pine Tree punch and Holiday Rhinestone jewels that I purchased from last year's Holiday catalog carried over into the new Annual Catalog. I paired these with the new Just Jade DSP from the 2020-2022 In Color DSP stack to give it a fresh new spin.

 

 

  Here's another view of my card. I love using the negative space with punches - it really adds to their versatility. This DSP pattern was perfect for the cutout of the pine tree!

 

 

  I topped my little tree with a gold rhinestone from the Holiday Rhinestone pack. It adds just a little bling without being too much.  And I love the texture that the braided linen trim brings to this card as well.

 

 

  Here's a close-up view of the main panel of my card. The Just Jade new In Color goes so well with Real Red and Crumb Cake for a rustic feeling color combination.

 

 

 

  I kept the inside of the card super simple with just a simple sentiment stamped in Real Red ink leaving lots of room to write a note to the recipient.  This would be a very simple card to make assembly-line style en masse.

 

 

 

  Here is one last view of my card. For more Christmas card ideas and inspiration, please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created this week. 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous weekend!

July 2020 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Celebrating the Red, White and Blue!

 

  Hi there and welcome to the July 2020 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing projects that celebrate the Red, White and Blue in honor of our Independence Day earlier this month.  Since July 4th has passed, I decided to use the colors to make a fun birthday card with these bright colors and used the new super adorable Pampered Pets stamp set.

 

 

  How cute is this Pampered Pets stamp set? If you're a pet lover like I am, this is a must-have set. And it comes with a bundle option which includes die cuts that coordinate with this set and the matching DSP from the product line.

 

 

  I decided to use Pacific Point as the blue for this card because it is bright and goes so well with Real Red and Whisper White for a bright and cheery card. 

 

 

 

 

  I kept this card super simple, adding some texture with a bow made out of the Braided Linen trim and an embossed panel using the 3D Absolutely Argyle embossing folder.  Wondering what I used to cut out the "Enjoy" sentiment? It is the end of the Timeless Label punch. Love that versatility!

 

 

 

  Here's a close-up view of the stamped panel. The dog and dog bowl were both colored using Water Painters with the Granite Gray ink pad (dog) and Soft Suede (dog bowl). 

 

 

   Here's one last look at my card. For even more Red, White and Blue ideas and inspiration, be sure to check out the rest of the projects on the Hop by using the links below.

Fabulous Friday: Way to Goat In Color birthday card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! It's been a while since I've shared a project and today I am sharing a fun birthday card featuring a lot of new products that I recently got from the new Annual catalog for Fabulous Friday over on the Sisters in Stamping blog. I am in love with the new In Colors - they are so soft compared to the outgoing ones.  And this Way to Goat stamp set - it just cracks me up!

 

  Have you seen the new 2020-2022 In Colors? They're beautiful!  I used a mix of card stock, the new 6x6 DSP stack and ink (the goat was colored with a watercolor brush and the Cinnamon Cider ink pad) for my card.

 

 

  And who wouldn't love to receive a card with any of these super funny goat images from the Way to Goat stamp set?

 

 

 

  I love how well these In Colors work together!  The inside of the card is blank, leaving lots of room to write a note to the recipient.  

 

 

 

  The goat was colored using a water color brush and I picked up ink from the lid of the ink pad (if you squeeze gently, ink from the pad will be deposited on the lid). Isn't that great how versatile these ink pads are? I haven't had a chance to get the In Color markers or Stampin' Blends so this method of coloring works great.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my card. For more fun new product ideas and inspiration, please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created this week.

Fabulous Friday: Father's Day card featuring Rooted in Nature

Oh my goodness! I totally forgot to publish this post on Friday... sorry it's a bit late!

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! Today we are featuring Father's Day cards for Fabulous Friday over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  I used the Rooted in Nature and Birch background stamp sets along with the Stitched Nested Labels dies for my card this week.  This card was perfect for my husband since he is in lumber sales.  I just knew I needed the Rooted in Nature set when it first debuted a few years ago because of his job!

 

Rooted in Nature stamp set #148217, $42.00

 

  What is your go-to set for these kinds of cards?  I try to go for nature-themed stamp sets and the Rooted in Nature stamp set is perfect for masculine cards. 

 

 

 

  I chose to keep the color palette pretty neutral, using crumb cake, early espresso, garden green, sahara sand, shaded spruce, soft suede and whisper white.  Do you notice all of the sponging I did on this card? The sahara sand card stock panel and each of the whisper white die cuts are sponged with crumb cake ink. 

 

 

  The tree image is colored with stampin' write markers and then I huffed on the image prior to stamping to give it a watercolored look.  The marker colors blend so well when you use this technique prior to stamping.  And I wanted to give the look of sewing, so I used the fine point on my early espresso marker to trace the dotted outline in the die cuts.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my card. For more Father's Day card ideas and inspiration, please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created this week. 

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous Father's Day weekend!

Fabulous Friday: May Flowers birthday card featuring the retiring Beautiful Day stamp set

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! Today we are featuring projects with May flowers (from all the April showers) for Fabulous Friday over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  What is your favorite floral stamp set? 

 

 

 

  I used two Last-Chance products with my card today - the awesome Beautiful Day stamp set and Layered Leaves 3D embossing folder.  My go-to floral set for a while now has been this Beautiful Day set and I have to give it some love one last time before it retires.  I also will miss this embossing folder as well since it adds such great texture to any card.

 

 

   My color palette for this card is daffodil delight, flirty flamingo, old olive and whisper white.  I had some extra scalloped rectangle dies that I cut out last week (did you see my piggy card?) and decided to use one for this card, popping up the sentiment and fussy cut flower on top.  I also used some of the daffodil delight ruched ribbon from the Jan-June catalog for some added texture in addition to the textured old olive card stock.

 

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the colored image - I just received my Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends so decided to use them on the flower. I used the Old Olive and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends as well. I still haven't mastered using these, but I am happy with the way this card turned out, what do you think?

 

 

 

  Here is a view of the inside of the card. I used a portion of the large flower image inked with flirty flamingo and the other sentiment from the stamp set to make this a birthday card.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my card. For more floral card ideas and inspiration, please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created this week. 

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous and safe holiday weekend!

Fabulous Friday: Watercolored Quick & Easy Happy Piggy card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! Today we are featuring watercolored projects for Fabulous Friday over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  What is your favorite way to watercolor? Mine is definitely using Aqua Painters and the ink from my stamp pads!  I am not a big fan of coloring and watercoloring this way makes it quick and easy!

 

 

 

 

  I used two Last-Chance products with my card today - the super-adorable This Little Piggy stamp set and the Magnolia Lane DSP. I love how the Petal Pink in the DSP matches my little piggy.  Even though the DSP designs are super elegant and classy, the striped pattern works well with the more casual feel of the piggy stamp set.  

 

 

 

   My color palette for this card is mossy meadow, petal pink and whisper white, all taken from the DSP.  I did add just a tiny bit of Highland Heather with the flower.  

 

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the colored image - I love that you don't necessarily have to stay in the lines when watercoloring!  Also, check out that cute little champagne rhinestone in the center of the flower - it works perfectly with the petal pink.  The stamped panel was cut out using one of the Scalloped Rectangle dies from the Stitched So Sweetly dies set.  I also used a piece of the braided burlap trim from the Jan-Jun catalog because I think it adds nice texture to the card.

 

 

  Here is a view of the inside of the card. I used a strip of the same DSP from the front of the card, but the reverse pattern. It's really sweet with the tiny flowers.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my card. For more watercolored ideas and inspiration, please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created this week.

May 2020 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Going, Going, Gone

 

  Hi there and welcome to the May 2020 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing projects that celebrate the Last Chance Products list.  This time of year is always bittersweet - so sad to see some of my favorites leaving but excited about the new product that's coming soon.  Today's projects feature two retiring products - the Abstract Impressions stamp set and See a Silhouette DSP. Both are ON SALE now through June 3rd as supplies are available.  I used the whisper white note card and envelope set along with several punches and a variety of ink pads and card stock (taken from the color palette of the DSP) to create these cards and I love how they turned out!

 

 

 

 

  It is always hard to say good-bye and I hope I have given you a reason to check these two products out before they're gone. What a bonus that they're both on sale!!  

 

 

 

  Here's a better view of half of the cards.  I kept them super simple, which is perfect for note cards.  This way the DSP really gets to be the star of the show!

 

 

 

  And here are the remaining three note cards. I can't express how much I am in love with this DSP.  And this stamp set is great - lots of fabulous floral images that are two-step so super fun to create layering of color and easy to do since they are photopolymer.  There are some great sentiments in this set as well with a fun font that almost looks hand-written.  I hope you'll consider purchasing them if you don't already have them in your collection!

 

  For even more Last Chance product ideas and inspiration, be sure to check out the rest of the projects on the Hop by using the links below.

 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!!

Fabulous Friday: First Frost Mother's Day card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! Today we are featuring Mother's Day cards for our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog since it is coming up this weekend.  What are your go-to stamp sets for this kind of card? For me, I always reach for my floral stamp sets.  

 

 

  I just love how this card turned out! I chose to use the soon-to-be-retiring stamp set called First Frost. I really haven't used this one much and now I wish I had!  It was a set in the Holiday catalog a few years ago and it is just lovely.

 

 

   My color palette for this card is flirty flamingo, old olive, soft suede and whisper white. I also used the retiring braided linen trim which I LOVE!  I kept the card layout super clean and simple and I think my Mom is going to love it.

 

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the flower images at the bottom of the stamped panel.  I stamped the foliage and a few of the flowers (both the small and the large) and then cut out a few, too, to layer on top.  The images in the First Frost stamp set are the Distinktive ones so they appear textured, which is so cool. 

 

 

 

  I wanted to add a banner for the sentiment from the Strong & Beautiful stamp set across the top of the stamped panel but it was just a little too plain. So I looped some of the braided linen trim and made a fun little bow to add on top.  I think it adds great texture to the card and works well with the color palette.

 

 

 

  Here is a view of the inside of the card. I used another great sentiment from the Strong & Beautiful stamp set (do you remember this from the Occasions catalog a few years ago?).  I also added some foliage and the smaller flower to the lower left corner.

 

 

 

  Here is one last view of my card. Please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created this week for even more Mother's Day card ideas and inspiration. 

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous weekend!
