Unfrogettable Stamping!

June 2021: Stampers Dozen Blog Hop - Focus on Tools

 

  Hi there and welcome to the June 2021 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing projects that focus on the many invaluable tools that Stampin' Up! offers.  What is your must-have? I know that I can't live without the Simply Scored Scoring Tool! A very obvious use of this tool is to score card stock before cutting it in half to create two card bases, but check out this great gift box I created and the card set to go in it. This makes the perfect gift to give and with very few supplies!

 

 

  Inside the gift box is a set of four blank note cards and sentiments that can be attached as needed. I even embellished/texturized the cards using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool. This is a great use of our gorgeous DSP and comes together so easily thanks to this awesome tool!!

 

 

  If you want to order this fabulous Simply Scored Scoring Tool, please click on the image above to head over to my Stampin' Up! store.  This tool is currently in a low inventory status so be sure to order soon before it goes in to a back order status. Others agree, this is a must-have tool!  And check out the beautiful samples created using the Hand-Penned product suite!  Did you know that you can purchase all of the items in this suite??  Be sure to click on the images above to take you right to my website. 

 

  The box is held closed with a beautiful belly band.  Here is a close-up of how I created the pretty flower embellishment.  Check out that super sparkly Genial Gem!  It is so pretty in real life and they come in two colors - Petal Pink and Mint Macaron. They're part of this Hand-Penned product suite.

 

 

  Here is what it looks like when you lift the flap - the four cards/envelopes and sentiments easily fit inside. I even notched it so that it would be easier to take out the cards.

 

 

  Here are the four different cards I designed. Each showcases a different pattern from this beautiful DSP.  Since some of the DSP patterns contained more Highland Heather, I cut two mats from that color card stock. For the other two I went with Mint Macaron because it is in all the DSP. I used the "mountain" side of the scored card stock on two of the cards and the "valley" side for the others just to mix things up a little.  Which is your favorite?  

 

  Here is a photo of the inside of one of the cards. I just simply stamped the large floral image on the inside using Memento Tuxedo Black ink to match the envelope for each of the cards.  

 

 

  Here are several of the sentiments from the stamp set that I cut out using the Tailored Label punch - with a few stampin' dimensionals on the back, whomever I gift this box to will be able to create a personalized cards in seconds.

 

 

  And here is one last photo of the gift box.  I am happy with the way this turned out and it is based on one I made years ago (see that post here).  I am in the process of writing up a tutorial that I will have for sale and also to gift to anyone placing a $50+ order with me during June and July.  

  I hope you've enjoyed my project using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool. For even more inspiration and ideas using some of the fabulous tools that Stampin' Up! offers, be sure to check out the other designer's blog posts using the links below.

 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!!

Sunday Fun Day: Masculine Seashells card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  Thanks so much for visiting today and checking out my Sunday Fun Day project for the Sisters in Stamping blog. This week we are sharing masculine projects since Father's Day is just a week away.

 

  I decided to use the Friends are like Seashells stamp set. Check out these fabulous samples and images in the Sand & Sea product suite from the January-June catalog. Great news - the stamp set and dies collection have carried over into the 2021-2022 annual catalog!!  For someone who loves the beach like I do, this is fantastic!!

 

 

   Here is another view of my card - I created the background using three of the larger shell images from the stamp set that were inked with sahara sand ink and stamped on sahara sand card stock. Once dry, I lightly misted the card stock on the unstamped side and crinkled it up to add lots of texture. Once flattened and added to the card I think it adds a lot of great texture, which is perfect for masculine cards. I love adding texture with embossing folders, but sometimes just a simple crinkle can add lots of character to a card.

 

 

  I stamped the smaller of the three shells with sahara sand ink onto this die cut that I used the Stitched So Sweetly collection to cut out, then added the sentiment with pacific point ink.   I popped it up on a thin strip of pacific point card stock and mounted it onto a pacific point card stock mat which was added to a basic white card base.  This is a quick and easy, clean and simple card - perfect for my husband!

 

 

   For the inside of my card, I stamped the medium sized shell with sahara sand, then added two sentiments using pacific point ink. 

 

 

 

   I hope I have inspired you to add some texture to your masculine cards and use a stamp set that may not necessarily be intended as a masculine one.  Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for more masculine card ideas and inspiration. 

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

Sunday Fun Day: Peachy new catalog favorite

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  Thanks so much for visiting today and checking out my Sunday Fun Day project for the Sisters in Stamping blog. This week we are sharing projects featuring new catalog favorites.

 

 

  The 2021-2022 Annual Catalog debuted earlier this week and there are so many fun new products! I had a hard time choosing a favorite to feature in my project this week.

 

 

  Check out these fabulous samples and images in the You're a Peach product suite from the new Annual Catalog. I love the new 2021-2023 In Color Pale Papaya - it works perfectly with garden green for this fun peachy card.

 

 

   Here is another view of my card - I created the background using two images from the stamp set - the foliage and trio of peaches. Since this is a photopolymer set, it is so easy to stamp these.  There is also a trio of flowers image in this set that works with the foliage image also.

 

 

  The large peach and sentiment were stamped on basic white card stock and then cut out with the Label Me Lovely punch. I popped it up on the card front and then added a bow tied from the white ribbon in the Flowers For Every Season combo ribbon pack.

 

 

   For the inside of my card, I stamped the foliage and peach trio to match the card front.  I decided not to add a sentiment inside to give the card more versatility.

 

 

 

   I hope I have inspired you to consider purchasing this Sweet as a Peach stamp set from the new Annual catalog.  Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for more card ideas and inspiration. 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

Sunday Fun Day: It's All about the bling Christmas card

 

  Before I start my blog post for today, I wanted to share the news about my younger daughter Kelsey's graduation last weekend from the University of Kentucky.  We were so fortunate and able to attend her in-person ceremony.  I can't say enough how very proud we are - she graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 4.0 as a Psychology Scholar and a double minor in Criminal Justice and Russian.  What a wonderful four years she had in Lexington, KY - I'll miss visiting this great city.

 

  And now on to this week's project. Thanks so much for visiting today and checking out my Sunday Fun Day project for the Sisters in Stamping blog. This week we are sharing projects featuring BLING. When I think of bling, my mind immediately goes to Christmas projects. I had just received the new Tidings & Trimmings bundle (stamp set and matching dies set) and coordinating Tidings of Christmas DSP in my last order so thought they were perfect for this week's project.  I know it is a little early to start thinking about Christmas, but if you get a jumpstart on your cards now, you'll be less stressed during the holidays.

 

 

  Check out these fabulous products in the Tidings of Christmas suite from the new Annual Catalog. I love the new 2021-2023 In Colors Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent, and how well they both work with Cherry Cobbler. The DSP papers are sized at 6" x 6" and the patterns are beautiful!  I also really like the pretty font used in the sentiments of the stamp set. Having a matching die set really makes cutting out images from the stamp set super easy.  I also used the Stitched So Sweetly dies set to cut out my focal panel for the front of the card.

 

 

  This card layout is such a go-to for me when there are pretty DSP patterns - it highlights multiple ones and the color palette makes designing a card super easy. I cut each strip of DSP at 3-3/4" x 1-5/8".

 

 

 

  I'm not sure you can see it, but I used the Wink of Stella clear glimmer brush to add shimmer along the outer scalloped edge of the focal panel as well as for coloring the base of the stocking.  I used my Soft Succulents and Cherry Cobbler stampin' blends to color the rest of the stocking.  And for added bling, I used three tiny rhinestone jewels under the sentiment.

 

 

 

   For the inside of my card, I stamped the sentiment using Soft Succulent ink. The bow was inked with a cherry cobbler ink pad and the foliage was inked with Evening Evergreen. If you recognize this scalloped piece, I had cut out a few last week for my Stampers Dozen Blog Hop project so used one of the leftovers.

 

 

   I hope I have inspired you to start thinking about making your Christmas cards - it isn't too early!  Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for more card ideas and inspiration featuring BLING. 

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

Sunday Fun Day: Black & White with a POP of color card set

 

  Thanks so much for visiting today and checking out my Sunday Fun Day project for the Sisters in Stamping blog.  This week we are sharing Black & White with a pop of color projects. I really loved how my Mom's Mother's Day card turned out last weekend (see that post here), so once again turned to the True Love DSP from the January-June catalog for my cards.  

 

 

True Love 12" x 12" DSP, #154281 $11.50

Stitched So Sweetly Dies, #151690 $32.00

Positive Thoughts cling stamp set, #151490 $21.00

 

  Check out how GORGEOUS these patterns are in the True Love DSP pack!!!  I love that you can color the images - it is so easy to have gorgeous flowers to color, cut and add to any project. The non-floral patterns make great backgrounds and I used two different ones with my cards today.  I stamped the simple sentiments from the Positive Thoughts stamp set onto panels that I die-cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. 

 

 

  Here is the first card I created. I used Daffodil Delight and Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends markers to color the flower images here. The sentiments were stamped using the Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad.  I even added a strip of the DSP to the inside of my card along with the sweet sentiment from this stamp set. This is a perfect thinking of you card that can be sent to a friend or even as a sympathy card.

 

 

  For my second card, I used Melon Mambo and Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends markers to color the floral image. As with the first card, the sentiments were inked with Memeto Tuxedo Black ink pads.

 

 

 

  So which one is your favorite? I like them both, but think the vibrancy of the Melon Mambo hot pink wins me over just a little more.  If you love this DSP, be sure to order a pack or two before it is gone. It retires at the end of next month!  Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for more card ideas and inspiration with this gorgeous color combination. 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

May 2021 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: New Catty Favorites

 

  Hi there and welcome to the May 2021 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing projects created using new favorite products from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog that was just released earlier this month. Have you had a chance to look it over? I instantly fell in love with the Hand-Penned product suite found on pages 104-105. The bundle includes the photopolymer stamp set and coordinating dies.  The DSP is so beautiful, too!  I created this card set that features two of the gorgeous patterns.  I haven't used this card layout in a while, and decided to for these cards since the DSP is so pretty on both sides!  It is really very simple, just figure out the center on the long side of the DSP and cut in with your paper trimmer 2" (make sure you cut the correct side!). Then I used a bone folder to curve the edges and break the fibers, so it wouldn't rip when I bent back the corners and secured them with stampin' dimensionals.   The sentiment was stamped on a strip of basic white card stock and glued on to be centered... less stress that way. Easy-peasey! 

 

  If you want to order these fabulous products, please click on the images above to head over to my Stampin' Up! store.  The DSP has such a soft beautiful color palette - perfect for your spring cards. The colors include Basic Blac, Blushing Bride, Cinnamon Cider, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Highland Heather, Mint Macaron, Misty Moonlight, Pale Papaya and Pool Party.

 

 

 

  For this first card I used Misty Moonlight card stock for the base card. The flower image was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I cut it out using the coordinating die from the die set and then colored the flowers with Petal Pink stampin' blend markers (after much trial and error I decided it matched the DSP the best for the flowers).  For the leaves, I used my watercolor brush and the Mint Macaron ink pad. I had to be careful as this ink isn't really meant for water coloring.  What do you think of the inside of my card? The decorative scallop edge was created using a die from the set. It's so pretty, isn't it?

 

 

  For card number two I used Mint Macaron card stock for the base card.  The flower image was colored using so saffron ink and a watercolor brush. When diluted, I found it was the closest to matching the DSP. The leaves were colored just like my first card.  I used my light Highland Heather stampin' blend marker for the center of the flower - it was a little dark, so I used my color lifter to remove some of the ink which lightened it nicely.

 

  And here is one last photo of the two cards.  I am happy with these cards and love that I have a simple set of cards featuring this fabulous new product suite Hand-Penned.  For even more new catty product project ideas and inspiration, please 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!!

Happy Mother's Day!

 

  Thanks so much for visiting!!  Today we are taking a break over on the Sisters in Stamping blog, so I wanted to share the Mother's Day card I made for my Mom and a fun project I made for her gift at Board & Brush last night.  If you haven't been to one of these workshops, they are so much fun!  

 

 

  Last night's workshop had a Mother's Day theme, and everyone made this great wooden box with 3 mason jars filled with flowers. The box starts off as natural wood, and then you get to distress (a great de-stresser and lots of fun, although very loud), stain and paint it. The letters were painted on using a stencil, so it was super easy. I stained this box first using Jacobean stain, then dry brushed it with white paint and followed that with a light blue paint that was dry brushed (my Mom's favorite color). I decided to use dark blue paint for the stenciling on one side and white paint on the other. I think she's going to love it!  If you have a Board & Brush located near you, I definitely recommend going with some friends for a fun Girls Night Out!!  I was definitely inspired by this and am hoping to incorporate my Stampin' Up! products to see what I can make at home on my own. I have lots of retired stencils from a while back and will post when I get something created.

 

 

  Because I had dry brushed my box with light blue paint, I wanted the card to match so used balmy blue card stock and Stampin' Blend markers along with the beautiful True Love DSP.  The sentiment is from the recently retired Strong & Beautiful stamp set (which I LOVE) and was added to a large circle cut with the recently retired Stitched Shapes dies.

 

 

  This close up shows you the flowers image - it was fussy cut using paper snips from a piece of the True Love DSP, then I colored it using the Balmy Blue and Mossy Meadow stampin' blend markers (both light and dark).  I popped it up on the panel using stampin' dimensionals.  The sentiment was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

 

 

  For the inside of the card I kept it very simple - a strip of the DSP to tie the front of the card into the inside, and the sentiment stamped with Tuxedo Black ink.

 

 

  Here is one last view of  my card.  For all the Mothers out there, I hope you are having a fabulous Mother's Day!!

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

Sunday Fun Day: Quick & Easy punch silhouette cards

 

  Thanks so much for visiting today and checking out my Sunday Fun Day project for the Sisters in Stamping blog.  This week's product spotlight was to feature punches in our projects. I made this card set featuring the Cat punch, using it as a silhouette, along with the beautiful Forever Greenery DSP (retiring in just a few days!).  I CASE'd this design from a card that I created last year that you can see in this post.

 

 

  I love the cat punch - it's great for making this type of card. As a bonus, you have the actual punch to use in another project, too!  I also used the beautiful Forever Greenery DSP which is retiring in a few days (and score, it's on sale!) along with the retiring Timeless Label punch on one of the cards (also on sale).  The stamp sets I used are the retiring To a Wild Rose (see this post I shared earlier with this set) and the Itty Bitty Birthdays set.

 

 

 

  Here is the first card I created. Both cards feature Pretty Peacock ink. I made this card more masculine based on the stripes pattern of the DSP. The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set along with the Timeless Label punch (retiring soon!).  Inside, I used a different sentiment from that stamp set and cut out the bottom corner with the Cat punch.

 

 

 

  For my second card, I used Pretty Peacock card stock for the base card. I decided to make this a friendship card and used a narrow strip of the DSP on the inside of the card as well. The sentiments for this card are from the retiring To a Wild Rose stamp set. 

 

 

 

 

  So which one is your favorite? I like them both - they were quick and easy to make and I was able to use this DSP one more time before it retires.  Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for more card ideas and inspiration with this color combination. 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

Sunday Fun Day: Merry Merlot color combo

 

 

  Thanks so much for visiting today and checking out my Sunday Fun Day project for the Sisters in Stamping blog.  I am so sorry to be a day late again posting this week's project, but it was a busy weekend with lots of family in town to celebrate my daughter Kelsey's 22nd birthday. This week we are sharing projects featuring this pretty color combination below: Sahara Sand, Rococo Rose and Merry Merlot.

 

 

  I came across this color combination on Pinterest (see it here) and thought it was beautiful! Sadly, Rococo Rose is retiring in a few days as it is part of the 2019-2021 In Color family. I am sure going to miss it!

 

 

  In addition to Rococo Rose, the Dandelion Wishes stamp set and Subtle 3D embossing folder are also retiring at the end of this month. Click on any of the images above to hop over to my Stampin' Up! store to check out these and all of the Last Chance items before they're gone! I also used the white baker's twine from the Snail Mail twine combo pack for all three cards.  Please read on for close-ups of each card.

 

 

  Here is the first card I created. All three cards were made using just a single sheet of each of the 3 colors and 2 sheets of basic white.  This first one used a partial image of the dandelion with some of the seeds blowing off and I added them inside along with a sentiment from the set. I kept the embellishment simple with a sweet little bow tied with the white baker's twine and added some texture to the Merry Merlot piece with the Subtle 3D embossing folder. This would be a great card for someone who is retiring, celebrating a birthday or feeling under the weather.

 

 

 

  For my second card, I used Rococo Rose for the base card and added the sentiment to the Sahara Sand piece to which I then added texture using the Subtle 3D embossing folder. I again used the image with the seeds blowing off the main flower and brought those seeds inside the card. I left this one blank as there is a sentiment on the front.  There's even more texture added with the 3 strips of the white baker's twine.

 

 

 

  This last card features a base card of Merry Merlot and I used a larger basic white panel for the 3 flower image. Texture was added to the Sahara Sand piece with the Subtle 3D embossing folder and I wrapped the white baker's twine around the Rococo Rose piece several times and secured it with a knot.  I added lots of seeds to the inside of the card along with the other sentiment - this card would be great for a bridal shower or wedding.

 

 

 

  So which one is your favorite? I think I like the last one best because it is bolder with more of the Merry Merlot color.  Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for more card ideas and inspiration with this color combination. 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

Sunday Fun Day: Rooted in Nature card set

  Thanks so much for visiting today and checking out my Sunday Fun Day project for the Sisters in Stamping blog.  We are sharing projects featuring retiring products, and I decided to use the Rooted in Nature stamp set along with the Pinewood Planks 3D embossing folder. Did you see these floral cards I share a few days ago using this same folder?  I am sure going to miss it!

 

  Click on any of the images above to hop over to my Stampin' Up! store to check out these and all of the Last Chance items before they're gone!

 

 

  Here is the first card I created. Both cards use essentially the same color palette - crumb cake, garden green and very vanilla. I added early espresso to this card when coloring the tree trunk on the tree image (using a stampin' write marker after inking the image with a garden green ink pad) and also for the "Be Happy" sentiment. This piece was cut after I stamped the full sentiment and then I attached it to the card.  For the embossed card stock, I used the debossed side of the crumb cake card stock and heavily sponged it with crumb cake ink. I added two pieces of the braided linen trim and tied a knot for some added interest since the card is pretty clean and simple and decided to leave the inside of the card blank for more versatility.

 

 

  For this card, I used soft suede ink for the tree rings image prior to stamping the sentiment with early espresso ink on a piece of crumb cake card stock. For the embossed panel, I used the embossed side of the card stock and used a lighter touch when sponging as I wanted it to be lighter in color.  For the inside, I stamped the leaf  image in the lower corner just for some added interest.

 

 

  So which one is your favorite? I think I like the first one just a little bit better.  Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for more retiring stamp set ideas and inspiration. 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!
