Fabulous Friday: Shaving Cream-Reinker Marbled card stock technique

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! This week we're sharing cards created using a technique featuring ink refills for our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  Ink Refills are such a fabulous product - inexpensive (just $3.75/bottle) and so versatile!  I had a hard time choosing which one to use, but in the end picked an oldie but a goodie. The Shaving Cream technique is certainly messy, but always provides such interesting backgrounds. I was able to make 4 unique "marbled" panels that I used to create 4 quick and easy birthday cards.  All four cards feature the same colors (cajun craze, crushed curry, terracotta tile and whisper white), punches (Label Me Lovely, Small Bloom and Timeless Label), sentiments from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set and bling from the Holiday Rhinestones pack.  I'll be sharing step-by-step instructions on my blog over the weekend on how to create these fun backgrounds, so be sure to check back or subscribe if you want it coming to your Inbox when published. 

 

 

  As you can see in this photo, I got four very different backgrounds using this technique. I mixed and matched the cardstock in order to create the cards, using 3/4 of a sheet of the four colors of card stock for the cards. Each sheet was cut in half length-wise to make my 11" x 4-1/4" card base, then I used half of the remaining piece to cut my 5-1/4" x 4" mat pieces. From that piece I punched the Label Me Lovely punch and the Small Bloom flowers since it was sandwiched between the marbled panel and the card base (nice way to take maximize your card stock use!).  Close-ups of each card can be seen below...

 

 

  This card was made from the first generation of the marbling so has the most depth of color.  I really like the striations of color.

 

 

  This card was made using the second generation - you can see that the colors are starting to blend and become more muted.

 

 

  This card is from the third generation of the marbling and I love how swirly and muted the colors are.

 

 

  Here is the last card - I'm not sure why there is that dark streak at the top but kind of like how it stands out on the background.  For even more ink refill stamping technique ideas and insiration, please be sure to hop on over to the Sisters in Stamping blog.

Fabulous Friday: Masculine Waterfront Birthday Card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! This week we're featuring masculine cards for our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  I always have a hard time with these, so appreciate the challenge.  I tend to use nature-themed stamp sets and texture when creating masculine cards.  This week's project features the Waterfront set along with the Greenery Embossing Folders. I also pulled out my Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set for the sentiment as I wanted to make a birthday card.   

 

 

Waterfront Photopolymer Stamp Set, #146386 $17.00

 Here are the images in this stamp set - they don't look like much, but there are some fabulous card creations out there on Pinterest using this stamp set. I must admit, even I feel artistic after using it!  Did you happen to pick up this set when it was on sale last month? 

 

 

 

  As you can see in these photos, I used lots of blues and greens for my card. The card base is night of navy card stock that I embellished with a strip of embossed balmy blue card stock and a mat of mint macaron card stock for the stamped panel.  For the "lake" I used balmy blue ink that I stamped multiple times using the larger triangle image which gives the illusion of depth in the water and also helped to fill in the space.  The mountain range is stamped with early espresso ink.  The trees as well as the sentiment are stamped with shaded spruce ink and the forest ground with soft suede ink.  I am really happy with how easily this came together!

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the stamped panel.  You can see more clearly how I stamped multiple generations of the same inking to give the illusion of depth of the trees, which also filled in the white space and from a distance looks like grass.  Win-win!

 

 

  Here you can see the texture added from the embossing folder.  It looks like leaves, so worked well with the nature theme and also isn't too girly.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my masculine birthday card.  For more 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 Bling-y Gnome Christmas card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! This week we're featuring BLING in our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  I decided to use the super cute Gnome for the Holidays set again along with the fabulous Holiday and Basic Rhinestone jewels for the bling.  I thought the little ornaments on her tree hat would be perfect for the Holiday Rhinestones. Not sure if that worked out or if it gives me the heebie-jeebies... what do you think? 

 

 

 Here is a different view of my card. The score line is where the card opens - I had this piece of card stock already in my stash with the score line there so just decided to use it this way. I can't even remember what card I had done that for earlier, but it made for a fun opening on this card.  Can you see all the rhinestones?

 

 

  From these photos with different viewpoints I can think you can better see all the rhinestones that I added to this card.  Overkill, maybe?  But fun!  The first photo shows the coloring that I did using various Stampin' Blends. I admit, it was fun!  And then for the little gnomes beard I used my Clear Wink of Stella glimmer brush but I don't think you can really see it in the photos, sadly.  For the sentiment, I used my Classic Label punch and then cut two more from the real red card stock mat and offset them behind to make it pop off the stamped panel.

 

 

  For the inside of the card, I added the other gnome image from the set and sentiment. Left this super simple and didn't spend time coloring it as I think it works without it since the front of the card has so much going on already.

 

 

 

  Here you can see a strip of the fun DSP from the 'Tis the Season stack that I recently got in an order. I added a piece of the Braided Linen trim and frayed the ends for added texture.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my fun and Bling-y gnome Christmas card.  For more ideas and inspiration to add bling to your cards, please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created this week.

Fabulous Friday: Embossed Magnolia Thinking of You card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! This week we're featuring Embossing Folders in our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  I decided to use the Magnolia 3D embossing folder  for my Thinking of You card along with the coordinating Good Morning Magnolia stamp set, Small Blossom and Timeless Label punches.

 

 

 This is the embossing folder that I used from my Stampin' Up! store so you can see how beautiful it is.  And  it is quite a large one (6" x 6"), so my square card is actually sized at 5-1/2" x 5-1/2".  

 

 

  Here is another view my card.  The base care is a piece of 11" x 5-1/2" petal pink card stock, folded in half. The embossing was done on a piece of soft sea foam card stock and I placed a piece of whisper white card stock between the two as a mat.  

 

 

  From this view you can see the embossing a little better.  I embellished the card with just a simple sentiment stamped using soft suede ink and cut it out using the Timeless Label punch. I added two flower pieces cut out using the Small Blossom punch and added a rhinestone from the Holiday pack in the center.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my clean and simple thinking of you card.  For more embossing folder 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.

September 2020 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Autumn Days

 

  Hi there and welcome to the September 2020 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing Autumn-themed projects and I decided to make not one, but two cards.  I created my own "designer paper" (I figured you might be getting a little tired of the Plaid Tidings DSP) using 5 of the small images from the Banner Year stamp set and a quarter-sheet of very vanilla card stock. I then cut that in half and used the strips for my cards.  The color palette that I chose includes Cherry Cobbler, Cinnamon Cider, Crushed Curry, Old Olive and Soft Suede.  

 

  The Banner Year and Celebration Tidings photopolymer stamp sets are two great sets from the Holiday catalog that are perfect for your autumn-themed projects.

 

 

  Here is my first card.  I used a base of crushed curry card stock and matted the stamped panel with cherry cobbler card stock. I stamped the image with soft suede ink and then colored it in with old olive, cherry cobbler and crushed curry stampin' write markers. I couldn't find my In Color markers, so just used a Blender Pen with the cinnamon cider ink pad for the smaller leaves. The sentiment was inked with that same ink pad.  I don't think you can see it, but I added some shimmer and twinkle to the card with the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.  The card was further embellished with the gorgeous Embroidered Ribbon also from the Holiday catalog.

 

 

  For my second card, I decided to make a landscape card and used cherry cobbler card stock for the base. I added a strip of old olive card stock across the center and then colored the image with my markers and the blender pen with cinnamon cider ink.  The sentiment on this card was inked with cherry cobbler ink since I didn't really have anything in the image to color.  The panel was stamped and then cut out with a label die from the Tasteful Labels die set.  Can you see the pretty embossed edge around the outside of it?

 

 

   Here's one last look at this quick & easy card set. For even more Autumn Days ideas and inspiration, be sure to check out the rest of the projects on the Hop by using the links below.

Fabulous Friday: Quick & Easy Thank You Card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday Saturday! It's been a crazy week, so I am coming to you a little late this week.  This week for our Fabulous Friday projects we are sharing thank you cards over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  I decided to once again use my favorite DSP - the Plaid Tidings pack from the Holiday catalog. I've had a lot of fun using the different patterns for all kinds of cards.  I pulled out my Beautiful Friendship stamp set because I love it for quick floral cards and added a sentiment and butterfly from the Butterfly Gala card.

 

Butterfly Gala photopolymer stamp set, #148580 $21.00

Beautiful Friendship photopolymer stamp set, #149252 $22.00

  Above you'll see the great patterns in the Plaid Tidings DSP pack and the two stamp sets I used for my Quick & Easy thank you card.  I drew inspiration from the colors in the plaid pattern and decided to make a floral card.  The color palette for this card includes Gorgeous Grape (butterfly), Highland Heather, Misty Moonlight (sentiment), Pear Pizzazz, Rococo Rose and Seaside Spray. 

 

 

  Here is another view my card.  The base is simply whisper white and the mat is Seaside Spray card stock.  I just started stamping the floral bouquet beginning with the largest flower images first.  I had a goof on part of the hyrdrangea image, so covered up my ooops with a butterfly stamped from the Butterfly Gala stamp set and cut out with the coordinating Butterfly Duet punch. I only adhered it in the center so the wings pop up off the card to add dimension.

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the card where you can see the little butterfly wings are raised above the card.

Fabulous Friday: Memories and More Quick & Easy Christmas Card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! This week for our Fabulous Friday projects we are sharing projects featuring the product line of Memories & More card packs over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  I decided to use the new Wonder of the Season card pack that I ordered recently from the August-December Holiday catalog (find it on page 30) to create a Quick & Easy card.

 

 

  This is what you'll receive in this pack - lots of great 4" x 6" pieces with designs on both sides for more versatility, sticker sheets and gorgeous gold foil embellished cards.  The great thing is there are multiples of each of the items shown in the graphic above!  If you're wanting to put together quick scrapbooking pages for your holiday photos this is definitely a must-have item!  And then you can also create some Quick & Easy cards, too.  Win-win!!

 

 

  Here is a side view of my card.  I took one of the 4" x 6" mats and cut it down to 4" x 5-1/4" for the card front.  I added another smaller card from the pack and popped it up with some dimensionals. I added a die-cut sticker to the edge and my card front was complete - super easy!

 

 

  Here is another view of my card front. It's super simple, but pretty, don't you think?

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the card opened up.  I used the remaining 4" x 3/4" strip from the card front piece and added it to the inside panel.  The sentiment was stamped with cherry cobbler ink and is from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set that debuted in last year's Holiday catalog.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my Quick & Easy Christmas card.  For more Memories & More 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 Color Combo Timeless Tropical Birthday Card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! This week for our Fabulous Friday projects we are sharing cards designed using a fun color combination over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  I decided to make another easel card, once again being inspired by this card shared by Sharon Burkert in the August Stampers Dozen Blog Hop.  For those of you who have asked for dimensions/directions, I plan to have that for you in the coming days.  If you don't want to miss it, please be sure to subscribe to get that notification.

 

 

  These colors are just so pretty together and scream SUMMER to me.  Of course, I have always felt like the Brights color palette was summery with the bright and cheerful colors.  I really love the Flirty Flamingo as a pink option, Coastal Cabana is one of my favorite greens (my kids tell me it's blue) and Pacific Point is a great blue. 

 

 

  Here is a view of the card flat - it's hard to photograph since it doesn't really lie flat due to the flowers inside that hold up the easel part of the card.  I stamped the smaller flower all over a piece of flirty flamingo card stock with flirty flamingo ink to create my own DSP and then cut that into strips.  The leaves were stamped on coastal cabana card stock with coastal cabana ink and fussy cut and glued to the stamped panel.  The large flower was stamped with crumb cake ink on flirty flamingo card stock (it was just too light with the flirty flamingo ink to show much detail) and then I used a flirty flamingo stampin' write marker to color the details.  Lastly, I used an early espresso to highlight the detail of the center of the flower.

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the card opened up.  I used two little flowers cut out with the Small Bloom punch, added some coastal cabana rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestones packet and popped them up with dimensionals and that is what holds the easel up for this card. The leaves 

 

 

   Here is a close-up of the inside stamped panel.  I used Pacific Point ink for the sentiment and stamped the leaf with Coastal Cabana ink.

 

 

  Here is aother  view of the card opened up - this is such a fun and easy card to create.

Fabulous Friday: Way to Goat easel birthday card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! This week for our Fabulous Friday projects we are sharing "cards that move" over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  I decided to make an easel card, being inspired by this card shared by Sharon Burkert in the August Stampers Dozen Blog Hop.  

 

 

  This stamp set just cracks me up - I love the goats!!  And the sentiments are funny, too.  I paired the stamps with my current favorite DSP - Plaid Tidings. Although this DSP is in the Holiday catalog, this pattern hardly screams Christmas. I love it with the Mango Melody and Rich Razzleberry card stock. 

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the card opened up.  I popped up the "...but I ate it" sentiment that was cut with the Classic Label punch with dimensionals and that is what holds the easel up. 

 

 

   Here is a close-up of the main stamped panel.  I used Rich Razzleberry ink for all of the sentiments on the card and Memento Tuxedo Black in for the image along with Crumb Cake, Petal Pink and Soft Suede Stampin' Blends to color the goat.  The ribbon is Terracotta Tile and is part of the Ornate Garden ribbon combo pack.  

 

 

  Here is a view of the inside of the card - I kept it simple with the just the birthday sentiment and the popped up sentiment to hold up the easel. I glued down the sides of the card so that only the middle opens up to reveal the birthday sentiment.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my easel card.  For more "cards that move" 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.
