Unfrogettable Stamping!

Sunday Fun Day: All about Stripes

 

   Hello and thanks so much for visiting!!  Today our theme for Sunday Fun Day over on the Sisters in Stamping blog is Stripes.  

 

Well Suited 12x12 DSP, #154562 $11.50

Sailing Home cling stamp set, #149457 $24.00

  When I think of stripes, I immediately think masculine, and what better product suite to feature these than the Well Suited suite from the January-June mini catalog.  I absolutely love the Well Suited DSP and the great masculine colors.  I paired it with the Sailing Home stamp set because stripes also remind me of a nautical theme.

 

 

  This clean and simple card features both sides of a single piece of DSP from this pack - one side has great bold diagonal stripes in basic black, basic gray, basic white and pacific point.  The other side features a thin white stripe on basic gray - this pattern reminds me of a man's suit and the other like a man's tie.  Put them together and they're a perfect pair! I kept the stamping super simple so as not to take away from the patterns of the DSP. A simply stamped sailboat image in black and a great little sentiment cut out using the Double Oval punch from the Jan-June catalog makes this the perfect card for any man.

 

 

  For added texture I used basic gray twine from the Well Suited twine combo pack. I wanted to give it a little more flair, so replicated the knot image from the stamp set. It was a bit tricky to figure out, but I got it to work and love how it looks on the card!

 

 

  For the inside of my card I left it blank, but added a thin stripe of the diagonal stripe DSP pattern. I like how that looks, don't you?

 

 

 

    Finally, here is one more view of my card.  Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for more Stripes card ideas and inspiration.

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

6x6 One Sheet Wonder Field and Flower card set

 

   Hello and thanks so much for visiting!!  A few days ago I shared a set of two cards that I created for my Sunday Fun Day project featuring the Sale-a-Bration level 1 selection Field & Flower DSP (see that post here).  I shared that this was part of a set of four cards using a 6"x6" One Sheet Wonder that I came up with using the DSP.  Above is a photo of the complete set of cards.

 

  Above is the One Sheet Wonder template that I created - the cards shared on Sunday used pieces B and D.  I love that you can order this DSP for FREE as a level 1 Sale-a-Bration selection with a qualifying $50 order (but hurry, this promo ends on the 28th!!).  This template would also work if you created your own "designer paper" using stamps and ink. 

 

 

 

  This card features panel A from the template - it is a 4" square of DSP cut on the diagonal. When you separate it to fit on an A2 card (as a 5-1/4" x 4" panel), it leaves a great strip that is perfect for a sentiment. I stamped the rose and leaves pulling colors from the DSP, then fussy cut them to add to the cardfront.

 

 

  For this card I used the tiny D strip of DSP for just a pop of color on the card. I created my own background piece using the leaves images and granny apple green ink on basic white card stock and added it to a so saffron card base.  Braided linen trim was added for texture.

  I hope I have inspired you to create your own set of cards following my 6" x 6" One Sheet Wonder template! Please share if you do.

Sunday Fun Day: Field & Flower DSP card set

 

   Hello and happy Sunday!!  I hope you had a fabulous weekend!  This week for Sunday Fun Day over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing cards featuring Designer Series Paper (DSP). I love making projects with DSP - 1) all the patterns in a pack are always beautiful and perfectly coordinate with each other, and 2) the color palettes are amazing, making it super easy to pull a card together.  Today I am sharing 2 cards out of a set of 4 that I created using just a 6" x 6" square from a single sheet of one of the pieces in the Flower & Field DSP pack along with the To a Wild Rose stamp set. This DSP is a level 1 Sale-a-Bration selection and is FREE with a $50 order that is placed by February 28th. So, if you love it as much as I do please be sure to place a qualifying $50+ online order in my Stampin' Up! store or contact me to place your order. But don't delay... time is running out to get your hands on this DSP!

 

 

  For this first card, I used a strip of the DSP. I pulled the colors from the images in the DSP: pool party (card base and flower) and granny apple green (sentiment).  I added a strip of daffodil delight ruched ribbon for some added texture.  These colors are so vibrant and cheerful!

 

 

  For this card I again used a strip of DSP and only the large sentiment from the To a Wild Rose stamp set with Shaded Spruce ink. I added more of the daffodil delight ruched ribbon and glued the panel to a granny apple green card base. I really love all the flowers in this pattern - so fun!

 

 

  Here is a shot of all four cards I created.  Be sure to check back because I'll be sharing the other two cards tomorrow.  And don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created for more DSP card ideas and inspiration.

February 2021 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Fun Fold birthday card

 

  Hi there and welcome to the February 2021 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing fun fold cards and I decided to use the Center Fold card design.  I was searching on Pinterest for some ideas and came across this card and wanted to make one, too.

 

 

  I purchased the Friends Are Like Seashells bundle a while back along with the coordinating Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper (from the January-June spring catalog). I have a good friend who has a birthday coming up, and she's my beach buddy, so this was the perfect product suite to use for her card.  The colors are all super soft and beachy: blushing bride, sahara sand and seaside spray.

 

 

  I stamped the shells and cut each one out and layered them on the center panel. As can be seen, some are popped up with stampin' dimensionals.  

 

 

  The sentiment was inked with soft suede ink so it would show up a little better than if I had used sahara sand.  Here you can see the the various sea shells a little better.

 

 

  Here's a view of the inside of the card, I added a strip of the DSP used on the outside of the card here and stamped a tiny shell next to the sentiment.

  Above are the directions on how to make this card, including the scoring and cutting lines that I used.

 

  To make this card yourself, please see the product list above. You can certainly earn at least one ($50 order), if not two ($100 order), level 1 Sale-a-Bration items if you order before the end of the month - that's a definite win-win!!

 

 

  And here is one final view of my card.  For even more fun fold card ideas and inspiration, please be sure to check out the rest of the projects on the Hop by using the links below.

Sunday Fun Day: Happy Valentine's Day!

 

   Hello and happy Sunday!!  Happy Valentine's Day - I hope you were showered with love today. This week for Sunday Fun Day over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing heart projects in honor of today being Valentine's Day.  

 

 

  I decided to keep my card super clean and simple, going with a "puppy love" theme. I pulled out my Dog builder punch and paired it with the Heart to Heart stamp set that carried over from last year's January-June Spring catalog. 

 

 

  It is hard to tell, but the color scheme for my card is inspired from my favorite combination of raspberries and dark chocolate - I used early espresso and melon mambo.  The Dog builder punch was used to cut the dogs from the early espresso card stock mat (it is hidden under the whisper white panel) and it was so easy to just flip one in the opposite direction to get this mirror image. I punched the mini heart using the same punch from the melon mambo mat beneath that one. The were simply glued onto the whisper white panel after I stamped the sentiment from the Heart to Heart stamp set with melon mambo ink.  I thought it needed just a little something more, so tied a sweet bow using the blushing bride twine from the Snail Mail twine combo from the January-June spring catalog.

 

 

  Here is another view of this card.  I really love how it turned out - clean and simple.  Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created for more heart project ideas and inspiration.

Sunday Fun Day: Sale-a-Bration Berry Blessings card

 

   Hello and happy Sunday!!  This week for Sunday Fun Day over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing projects featuring Sale-a-Bration products since this fabulous promotion is ending at the end of the month. You've only got a few more weeks to earn these exclusive items for FREE with a qualifying $50 (Level 1) or $100 (Level 2) order.

 

  I decided to use the Berry Blessings bundle that is a Level 2 Sale-a-Bration item - earn it for free with a qualifying $100 merchandise order.  This coordinates with the Sweet Strawberry bundle in the January-June catalog on page 44. I really love this DSP - the colors are really bright and cheerful! 

 

 

  I decided to use the DSP pattern with the blackberries (or are they black raspberries?) and pulled all of my colors from it: blackberry bliss, garden gree, rich razzleberry and shaded spruce.  This card is much brighter in real life.

 

 

  The sentiment is on an oval diecut from the Stitched Shapes dies and I added just a bit of texture to the card with a bow tied out of braided linen trim.  I stamped the berry and leaf/stem separately and then fussy cut them and added it with a dimensional on the stamped oval diecut. It is really hard to tell in the photos, but that is blackberry bliss card stock that I used for the mat and cardstock strip down the center of the card. 

 

 

  Here is another view of this card.  I really like how it turned out - clean and simple, but pretty.  Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created for more card ideas and inspriation from the Sale-a-Bration selections.

Sunday Fun Day: Springtime Joy and Stampin' Blends

 

   Hello and happy Sunday!!  This week for Sunday Fun Day over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing projects featuring the Stampin' Blends alcohol markers from Stampin' Up! I used the Springtime Joy stamp set for my card design.

 

 

  If you are unfamiiliar with the Stampin' Blends markers, their ink is alcohol-based and are sold in a set of two - including a light and dark version of our exclusive colors. That makes the blending a no-brainer and you'll always have beautiful color coordination with Stampin' Up! card stock, ink and Designer Series Papers. In addition, these markers are dual-tipped, with a brush tip at one end a finer point at the other for more detailed coloring.  Whenever coloring with the Stampin' Blends, be sure to only use the Memento Tuxedo Black ink for your outline images as this ink is formulated to work with alcohol inks.  This ink pad is my go-to anytime I want to use black (unless I am watercoloring and then I will use StazOn). It won't harm my photopolymer stamps and also I like that it is a little bit more of a softer black color. 

 

 

  I love this lamb image from the Springtime Joy stamp set and chose colors from the Subtles color collection for my card. I will definitely be using it again for my  Easter cards, but for now it is a Welcome Spring card!

 

 

  But, Spring is definitely not here in Central Virginia today... we got our second snowfall in a week overnight. My pup Bruno was having fun out there earlier today.

 

 

   I stamped the images on a piece of whisper white card stock cut out using a large circle die from the Layering Circles dies set. I also added texture to the Blushing Bride card stock using one of the embossing folders in the Meadown Moments set.  The card base is cut from Highland Heather - this is such a pretty purple!  I stamped the sentiment with Highland Heather ink on a 1/4" strip of soft sea foam card stock and the ends were notched with my paper snips.  The colors of Stampin' Blends I used to color the images include Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Highland Heather, Petal Pink. So Saffron and Soft Sea Foam. The dark crumb cake was a bit too dark so I used the Color Lifter to soften it.  

 

 

  Here is another view of this card.  I really like how this turned out and will try to color more often now that I have started to build up my collection of Stampin' Blends.  Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created.

Sunday Fun Day: Shaving Cream and Reinker Marbled Background technique card set, Part Three

 

   Hello and happy Tuesday!!  I wanted to share the last two cards from my set that I created for Sunday Fun Day over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.   In case you missed the first two posts, find them here and here.

 

 

  Today's two cards feature the Healing Hugs stamp set from the Annual catalog and the new A Touch of ink stamp set that is a Level 2 Sale-a-Bration selection this year.  I have already used this one so much (check out these cards here and here).

 

 

  This marbled strip is the perfect backdrop for the gorgeous flower from the Healing Hugs stamp set. I inked the flower with night of navy ink, stamped off once, and then stamped it onto a piece of scrap whisper white cardstock. I did the same for the leaves image with garden green ink. These were both fussy cut using my paper snips and added to the square cut out using the Stitched Shapes dies.  The sentiment was stamped with night of navy ink and then cut out using the Tailored Tags punch and added to the card.

 

 

  Here you can see that the marbled piece has more of the night of navy swirls. So pretty!

 

 

  For this final card, the marbling is the dramatic backdrop for the simple leaf image from the A Touch of Ink (SAB) stamp set. I used garden green ink and stamped it onto an oval die cut using the Stitched Shapes dies.  There was just enough room to squeeze in the Hello Friend sentiment stamped with night of navy ink. I embellished the card simply with a piece of the whisper white ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season ribbon pack. 

 

 

  Here is another view of this card.  I love how all of these cards turned out - which one was your favorite?  I hope you give this fun (but messy) technique a try! Be sure to have your pieces of whisper white pre-cut (I grabbed scraps) so that once you are inky you can just get rolling creating your marbled pieces.

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous day!

Sunday Fun Day: Shaving Cream and Reinker Marbled Background technique card set, Part Two

 

   Hello and happy Monday!!  I wanted to share a few more of the cards that I created for yesterday's Sunday Fun Day over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.   In case you missed that post, find it here. 

 

 

  Today's two cards feature the new Art Gallery stamp set from the January-June Spring catalog. I absolutely love this set - the flower images are gorgeous and so easy to line up for two-step stamping because it is a photopolymer stamp set.

 

 

  This marbled piece was cut a little smaller. The flower bunch image stamped with night of navy ink worked perfectly for it.  I embellished this card simply with a piece of knotted braided linen trim. I really like this trim as it adds great texture.  I even purposely frayed the ends for even more texture.

 

 

  In this view of the card you can see the marbled effect a little better.  I love how differently all the pieces turned out, depending on how I dropped my card stock onto the shaving cream. I also swirled the ink around each time, which added to the different marbling on all of them.

 

 

 

  For this card, the marbling is lighter with more green than blue and I think it works well with this large floral image. I didn't want to use any other inks, so for the more solid flower image I stamped off the night of navy ink once before stamping onto the card stock. Then I went full strength with the detail image on top. I added a simple knot of whisper white ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season combo pack (my favorite!).

 

 

  Here is another view of this card.  I love how these cards turned out and am excited to share the final two with you tomorrow, so please be sure to check back! 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous day!

Sunday Fun Day: Shaving Cream and Reinker Marbled Background technique card set

 

   Hello and happy Sunday!!  Welcome back for another Sunday Fun Day over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.   This week we designed projects featuring the Shaving Cream technique to create marbled backgrounds using reinkers.  I had fun and ended up making lots of different marbled pieces for six cards. I only used two colors of reinkers, garden green and night of navy, and was able to create both masculine and feminine cards.  I'll share two today, and the rest over the next two days. All cards have a piece of whisper white card stock inside that was left blank.

  Here is a link to a tutorial that shows you the steps to create this marbled effect. This is a messy, but fun technique. Helpful hint - wear disposable gloves when working with this technique or your fingers will end up covered in ink!  Also, I found that using a scrap piece of cardboard to scrape the shaving cream off the card stock onto a paper towel was the easiest way to keep from making a huge mess.  Have a lot of paper towels on hand... did I mention this was a messy technique?  But so worth the effort for the final results, wouldn't you agree?

 

 

  For these first two cards I decided to go in a more masculine direction and chose to use the Sailing Home stamp set from the Annual catalog. 

 

 

  This marbled piece was the very first one I made, and you can tell that the colors are so much more vibrant!  I wanted to really play up the gorgeous marbling so kept the card very simple with a small stamped panel. The background mat for that is a piece of night of navy cut using the Label Me Lovely punch. I stamped the anchor image with night of navy after stamping off on a scrap piece of paper as I wanted a very light image. Then I overstamped that with the sentiment using garden green ink. This was cut out using the 2" circle punch and added to the card, popped up over a thin strip of night of navy card stock.

 

 

  In this view of the card you can better see the anchor in the background of the stamped piece. 

 

 

  For this card, the marbling reminded me of swirling water as the waves recede, so I wanted to use the lighthouse image. It is simply stamped with  night of navy card stock and the "Thanks" was stamped right onto the marbled piece.

 

 

  Here is another view of this card.  I love how these cards turned out and am excited to share the others with you over the next few days, so please be sure to check back!  And for even more great shaving cream technique card ideas and inspiration, please hop on over to the Sisters in Stamping blog.

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous day!
