Sunday Fun Day: Penguin Place Snowflake Christmas card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! We are showcasing accessories in our Sunday Fun Day projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog today and I decided to use one of the Wonderful Snowflakes for my fun penguin Christmas card. 

 

 

  The Wonderful Snowflakes are a product that was offered in last year's holiday catalog and thankfully carried over. They are iridescent on one side and matte on the other, so give you a lot of possibilities.  I also used the super-cute Penguin Place stamp set and coordinating Penguin Builder punch for my card.  If  you would like to purchase any of these products, be sure to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store to place an order (don't forget to use Host Code ZW9YEQMB with your online order at checkout through August 30th).  If your order is $50+ you also get to choose a free Sale-a-Bration item, too!

 

 

  This view is a little better - I don't know why, but the background is basic white but didn't photograph that way. 

 

 

 

  I stamped the sentiment on a strip of card stock and mounted it across the center of the snowflake with a stampin' dimensional. For the background piece, I stamped the tiny snowflakes all over with pool party ink and stamped the reindeer antlers right onto the card stock since I didn't want to cut them out. The penguin was stamped on a scrap of white and cut out using my Penguin builder punch. Easy-peasy!

 

 

    Here's one more look at my card.  For even more accessories ideas and inspiration, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week.

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

Sunday Fun Day: Christmas in July Scottie Dog card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! We are celebrating Christmas in July over on the Sisters in Stamping blog today and sharing Christmas card ideas. It is never too early to get started on your Christmas cards, is it?  I decided to feature the Christmas Scottie bundle that I recently purchased from the Holiday catalog.  The stamp set and coordinating punch are so darn cute!

 

 

  In addition to the Christmas Scottie bundle, I also used the Layering Circles dies and the Artistic Mix decorative masks that are in the Annual catalog. If  you would like to purchase any of these products, be sure to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store to place an order (don't forget to use Host Code ZW9YEQMB with your online order at checkout through August 30th).  If your order is $50+ you also get to choose a free Sale-a-Bration item, too!

 

 

  This view shows how I punched out the dog and bow and popped them up on the layered circle die cuts. The plaid pattern on the inner circle was achieved using a stamping' blend brush with real red ink and the respective mask from the Artistic Mix decorative mask set.

 

 

 

 Here is a look at the inside of the card. I stamped the ribbon image along the top, a sentiment in the center and a peeking little pup in the lower left corner.

Sunday Fun Day: Wonderful World birthday card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! Today's theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog is birthday cards. I just recently received my Holiday catalog and SAB order and wanted to use the new Wonderful World DSP and stamp bundle that is a Sale-a-Bration selection right now that you can earn for free with a qualifying $100 merchandise order. The papers are so beautiful and the flower images are a perfect match.

 

 

  In addition to the Wonderful World bundle, I also used a new stamp set called Go To Greetings which is in the new Annual catalog. I love the different fonts and sizes of these often-needed sentiments! Click on either of the photos to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store to place an order (don't forget to use Host Code KDZFB6MW with your online order at checkout through July 30th). 

 

 

  This is a super simple Quick & Easy card and you can very easily make quite a few at one time. I wanted to add some texture to the card front so tied a double bow using linen thread.  Want to make one of these cards yourself? Here are the card stock dimensions that I used for my project today:

Card Dimensions

Base card: Melon Mambo CS 11” x 4-1/4″, scored at 5 1/2″

Card front strip: Basic White CS 3-3/4″ x 1-1/4″

Card front mat and inside panel: (2) Basic White Cake CS 5-1/4″ x 4"

Card front panel: DSP 5" x 3-3/4"

Inside panel DSP strip: 5" x 1/4"

 

 

 Here is a closer look at the inside of the card. I used a narrow strip of the DSP for some color and then stamped a flower image from the stamp set using Sahara Sand ink (I used second generation inking, stamping off on scrap paper first, so you can write over the image if needed).

 

 

    Here's one more look at my card.  For even more birthday card ideas and inspiration, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week.

Sunday Fun Day: Wild & Sweet masculine birthday card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! Today's theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog is masculine cards. Oddly enough, I chose the theme several months ago and then struggled to make a card because most of my masculine sets retired.

 

 

  Thankfully, I had ordered this fun Wild & Sweet stamp set from the new Annual catalog and it worked great with the new Artistic Mix decorative masks, which I colored with the Blending Brush. To add more dimension to the stamped image, I used a few Watercolor Pencils. Click on any of the photos to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store to place an order (don't forget to use Host Code KDZFB6MW with your online order at checkout through July 30th). 

 

 

 

 

  I didn't have any masculine DSP so decided to make my own for the front of the card. I used soft suede ink and a blending brush along with the plaid design mask from the Artistic Mix decorative masks. I also wanted to add some texture, so scored vertical lines into the mossy meadow card stock panel and had the embossed side show.  Lastly, I added a little more texture by "sueding" the early espresso strip of card stock across the stamped panel.  I think I pulled off masculine, don't you?   

  Want to make one yourself? Here are the card stock dimensions that I used for my project today:

Card Dimensions

Base card: Soft Suede CS 11” x 4-1/4″ scored at 5 1/2″

Card front strip: Mosssy Meadow CS 4-3/4″ x 2″, scored every 1/4" vertically

Card front panel: Crumb Cake CS 3-1/2″ x 3"

Sueded strip: Early Espresso 3-1/2" x 1/4"

 

 

 

 Here is a closer look at the front of the card. It is a little easier to see the sueded texture on the early espresso strip. To achieve that effect, use a bone folder and rub it along the card stock like you do with scissors and curling ribbon - you're essentially breaking the fibers of the card stock. After a few times you'll see that the card stock starts to split - carefully pry it apart into two strips. One side will be smooth, but the inside will have this wonderful texture that looks like suede. I glued one side across the panel, then folded the other in half at a slight angle and tore the ends to add even more texture and glued it down. It looks almost like ribbon, but isn't! I also used watercolor pencils to color in the grass (old olive), the raccoon's fur (basic gray) and added just a teeny bit of white to the eyes to make them pop a little more. It pulls the colors of the card together nicely and gives the raccoon image a little more dimension.

 

 

    Here's one more look at my card.  For even more masculine card ideas and inspiration, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week.

Sunday Fun Day: "W" fun fold Hues of Happiness birthday card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! Today's theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog is fun fold cards. I saw a great card called a "W" fold on Sharon Armstrong's blog (see it pinned here) and decided to try one. So fun and easy!

 

  I used the new Happiness Abounds stamp set and coordinating Hues of Happiness DSP from the Annual catalog for today's card along with some stampin' blends for coloring.  These colors just scream summer to me (although kind of tricky to photograph)!  Click on either photo to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store to place an order. 

 

 

 Here is a closer look at the front of the card. I used a large piece of the DSP for the background, then stamped the sentiments with Gorgeous Grape ink and stamped the flowers and leaves with Memento Jet Black ink so I could color them using my Stampin' Blends (Melon Mambo combo, Daffodil Delight combo and Granny Apple Green combo).  I cut the flowers and layered them on top of the leaves that were stamped directly on the card stock panel.

 

 

  These photos show the inside of the card, making it the "W" fold.  Once again I relied heavily on the gorgeous DSP for 3 of the 4 panels.

 

 

 As you can see, on the left side of the card I used a piece of the DSP featuring the yellows, reds and oranges and stamped the panel with a mango melody flower image to match. The sentiment was inked with Gorgeous Grape ink. For the bottom of that panel, I tried (not so successfully) to ink the sentiment across the bottom. Note to self - stamp this BEFORE gluing the strip for the W onto the card base.

 

 

  On the right side of the card I used a piece of the DSP for one panel, and then from another design in the pack I cut out several flowers and layered them together on the 4th panel. So easy outside of the cutting that I had to do.  I left the bottom of the inside panel blank for any sentiment I want to write inside the card when I send it.  

 

  Want to make one yourself? Here are the dimensions that I used today:

Card Dimensions

Base card: Granny Apple Green CS 11” x 4-1/4″ scored at 5 1/2″

Card front mat: Granny Apple Green CS 3-1/4″ x 2-3/4″

Card front panel: Basic White CS 3″ x 2-1/2″

Basic White CS scraps for flowers

“W” strip: Granny Apple Green CS 11” x 1-1/2″ scored at 2 3/4″, 5 1/2″, 8 1/4″

Inside mats: Granny Apple Green CS (4) 2-3/4″ x 2-1/4″

Inside panels: DSP (2) and Basic White CS (2) 2-1/2″ x 2″

Inside card panels Basic White CS: (2) 5-1/4″ x 4″

 

 

    Here's one more look at my card.  For even more fun fold card ideas and inspiration, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created.

Sunday Fun Day: Catalog CASE birthday card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! Today's theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog is to CASE a card from the Annual Catalog or January-June Spring catalog.  I chose a card from the Annual catalog that features a fun new punch. Read on to find out more...

 

 

  Here is the card I am CASE'ing from the Annual Catalog - it can be found on page 53.  Mine is pretty close, but I did change up a couple of things. I really like how it turned out, just like I pictured it in my head. That doesn't always happen!  

 

 

  I used the new Decorative Circle punch from the Annual catalog that I absolutely love! In addition, I used two soon-to-be-retired products from the January-June Spring catalog - Artfully Composed DSP and Fan Baker's Twine (both are on sale through the end of the month!). Click on any of the images above to hop over to shop online or if you haven't received the new catalog, be sure to check it out online in my Stampin' Up! store.  If ordering online, please be sure to use Host Code U2RRWMSE.  Don't forget - FREE SHIPPING on Tuesday, June 21st with a qualifying $75 order!!

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the stamped panel. Wondering how I cut out the sentiment strip? Once again, our punches can be used to cut a partial piece of card stock. Once I had my sentiment stamped on the 3/4" strip of card stock, I simply fed it in and lined it up and voila - a fun banner was cut!

 

 

  I used some left over cut pieces of DSP from another project featuring the Artfully Composed DSP from a while back (see that blog post here).  I had some thin strips that I used to embellish the inside of the card. Never throw away any strips of DSP - it is so easy to use in this way!

 

 

 

 I cut my three punches from some DSP pieces that I had left over from the blog post mentioned above (see it here) and decided to cut them in a way that I could still use them for another project. Here is one of the three that I had (one was used for my Dad's Father's Day card, but I forgot to photograph it before giving it to him today).  I will save this for another day and simply add a fun sentiment and/or image when needed.

Sunday Fun Day: Thank you card featuring the Sweet Songbirds bundle

 

  Hello, I wanted to explain why I haven't posted in the last month. Sadly, we lost my Mom back on May 12th. She valiantly fought cancer for 8 years and I miss her terribly. Many of you who are local to the Lynchburg area and have been stamping with me over the last 18 years have had a chance to meet her. She loved making and sending cards to her many friends and family members and I am so grateful that Stampin' Up! brought her so much joy.  We also shared a love of sushi and the beach. I am forever grateful that we took one last family trip in 2021 together.  I also want to thank everyone who sent a hand-stamped card, those really meant a lot to me and my family!!

 

 

  And now on to today's project. This week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog is to use our favorite new bundle from the Annual Catalog that debuted last month. I chose to feature the Sweet Songbirds stamp set and coordinating Songbird builder punch. My Mom would have loved this one!  

 

 

 Check out this super-cute stamp set and punch - available at a bundled discount! If you haven't received the new catalog, be sure to check it out online in my Stampin' Up! store.  If ordering online, please be sure to use Host Code U2RRWMSE.  

 

 

 

  Here is a side view of the card. I used three of the new In Colors as well - Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet and Tahitian Tide. So bright and cheery, perfect for summer time.  I love that the black and white gingham ribbon from the Holiday catalog carried over as well!

 

 

 

   Here is a close-up of the stamped panel. I used the punch for the bird body, both wings and even the beak.

 

 

 

 For the inside of the card I added a pop-up to make this card even more fun. I used a strip of basic white card stock cut to4-3/4" x 1" and scored every 1 inches. I glued it shut to form a square, stamped the feet on and then glued on the cut bird image. This was then glued down to the card as seen in the second photo. Super quick and easy!

 

 

    Here's one more look at my card.  For even more new bundle card ideas and inspiration, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created.

Sunday Fun Day: Celebrating the new Annual Catalog with a Happiness Abounds birthday card

I apologize for the delay in getting this post published, but my Mom had emergency surgery on Friday and I wasn't able to get this done until today.

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday Monday! This week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog is to use our favorite new stamp set from the Annual Catalog that is debuting on Tuesday, May 3rd!! I chose to feature the Happiness Abounds stamp set with all the beautiful floral images.  This card was fun to create with a floral bouquet that I colored using my Stampin' Blends.

 

 

 Here is another view of today's card. If you haven't received the new catalog, be sure to check it out online beginning Tuesday, May 3rd in my Stampin' Up! store.  If ordering online, please be sure to use Host Code SGCN9HKF.  

 

 

 

  Here is a side view of the layering that I did with the center floral image and pieces I cut using the Spring Bough punch that is a carryover item from the Spring mini catalog.

 

 

 For the inside of the card I added a rose in the corner and a simple sentiment.

Sunday Fun Day: Sweet as a Peach Mini Scrapbook

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! This week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog is mini scrapbooks. I'll be honest, I was a scrapbooker before I became a stamper, but it has been a long time since I've worked on any scrapbooking projects. I had a lot of fun with this project today and hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.  Now I just have to print some photos to add to it!  

 

 

  The products I used with today's card are seen above. All three products are on the Last Chance list so if you want them, make sure to place your order ASAP!  Click on photo above to hop over to my Stampin' Up! store to place an order.  If ordering online, please be sure to use Host Code SGCN9HKF.  

 

 

  Here are photos of the pages that I created using the stamp set, DSP and card stock colors from the color palette of the DSP. The covers are old coasters that I had in my stash from a chain restaurant that measured 4" x 4". I covered the front and back with DSP pieces and then used my snips to round the corners. I then covered the inside pieces with balmy blue card stock. The inside pages are six sheets of 7-1/2" x 3-3/4" pieces of basic white card stock folded in half. I glued each half back to back with the folds at the top. It is much easier to embellish all your pages first, then attach the first and last pages to the covers (ask me how I know, ha ha).  Once I had the covers attached I added an additional piece of card stock for the binding.  Anyway, I had fun with this and hope you give it a try!

Sunday Fun Day: Daffodil Daydream Easter card

 

  Hello and Happy Easter! Sorry for the delay, but it has been a tough week with my Mom in the hospital.  This week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog is Easter cards and I CASE'd my card from last week (see that post here), changing up the main stamp set. I wanted to remind you that the 2021-2022 Annual catalog is ending in a few weeks, so be sure to check out the Last Chance Products promotion! Many of the retiring products are on sale, grab them while you still can!

 

 

  The products I used with today's card are seen above. The Wild Roses stamp set and Stitched So Sweetly dies set are both retiring.  Grab them before they're gone...  click on photo above to hop over to my Stampin' Up! store to place an order.  If ordering online, please be sure to use Host Code S43YYXBG.  

 

 

 

  Daffodils are my favorite spring flower so I had to buy this set when I first saw the Spring catalog. I am so glad it is carrying over into the 2022-2023 Annual catalog! I had fun coloring the flower image with my Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin' Blends.

 

 

  Here is another view of the main focal panel and sentiment, which I cut using the Double Oval punch.
