Unfrogettable Stamping!

Just one more Fresh Prints card... a fun twist on a big buckle card

 

  Can you stand just one more project featuring the Fresh Prints DSP stack?  I promise it is the last one... I just *love* this paper and the fresh color palette it offers!  If you love it too, you only have a little bit of time left to purchase it... make sure to order it by midnight tomorrow (June 1st) before it is gone for good.

  I just love big buckle cards (you can follow this tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers - I used a 2" wide band so it would fit in my punch) and I designed this one for my last team gathering.  

  The "belt" was punched on one end using the scalloped tag topper punch and it fits perfectly into the slot left by the modern label punch... I love it when a plan comes together.

  Once again, I pulled my colors from the paper - coastal cabana, real red, crumb cake and whisper white.  I also used a TON of punches on this card... please see the list below to see which ones in case you'd like to order a few.

   Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you give these cards a try and don't forget, just one more day to get all of your must-have's from the Annual Catalog and Occasions mini catalog... enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

Fabulous new products sneak peek

  Happy Friday and thanks so much for stopping by today!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog our Fabulous Friday projects are featuring new products from the upcoming Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog that debuts on June 2nd.  This week you're getting three from me because I wanted to share the quick and easy make-n-takes from my V.I.P. Stamper Appreciation Night.

 

  First up is this clean and simple birthday card featuring the So Very Happy stamp set - we received this back in January at the Leadership Conference.  I know you can't tell from the photo, but this features two new In Colors - Blackberry Bliss (my fave but very hard to photograph - it is a rich dark purple) and Hello Honey.  Both colors are featured in the great new Moonlight DSP stack.

 

  Next we have this fun card featuring the Hostess set Nuts About You.  Although this isn't intended to be a masculine card, it would be so easy to switch out the sentiment and give it to the man in your life.  Don't you love this cute opussum hanging in the tree?!  This stamp set also has lots of other fun ways to decorate your tree!  The new In Colors Lost Lagoon and Mossy Meadow are featured here along with soft suede.  Check out that gorgeous ribbon!

  And last is this fun chocolate favor featuring the Work of Art stamp set and the new Tangelo Twist In Color along with Hello Honey and Real Red.  I used my Big Shot and Circles framelits to cut out this 2" circle, but in the new catalog there is a 2" circle punch!!!!  Wooo hoooo!!

  I hope you're as excited as I am about the upcoming catalog!  It's been great saying good-bye to retiring favorites the last couple of weeks, but bring on the NEW!  Don't forget about my FLASH SALE to celebrate my birthday today... check out this post for all the details!  Thanks for stopping by and be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what new products Rachel and Karla designed with this week.  Have a fabulous weekend!!!!  I'll be celebrating my  birthday with my family... !

Fabulous Stippled Blossoms progressive scrapbook layout

  Happy Friday and thanks for stopping by today!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are featuring scrapbooking projects in honor of National Scrapbooking month during May.  I know I am guilty of hoarding boxes and boxes of photos and now they're just eating up space on my laptop hard drive, too.  I had a lot of fun doing this page today and plan to get back to what brought me to Stampin' Up! in the first place - traditional scrapbooking.

    I am going to be a vendor at an upcoming Crop to benefit a local Relay for Life team and needed to come up with a fun and easy make-n-take.  I decided to go with a 6" x 6" page since that will fit most any type of scrapbook.  This page features the Stippled Blossoms and Feel Goods stamp sets.  I think the colors I used will work with almost any photo.. but I think it will look especially good with a black and white one since this has a bit of a vintage feel. 

 

   Here is a close-up of the flower embellishment.  I love two-step stamping!  I did cut out the bud and blossom to pop them up (also makes it easier to slip a larger photo under the embellishment).  I used so saffron (stamped off once) for the base and crushed curry for the detail.  The leaves were done with pear pizzazz (stamped off once for the base and full strength for the detail).  I did also sponge around the entire piece of naturals white card stock with crumb cake to age it.

   Everyone who completes the make-n-take will also be given a full sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" crumb cake card stock and can add the smaller layout to it like above and put it in a frame (cut down to 8" x 10") or add it to a larger 12" x 12" page like my project this week when they get home.  Instead of just having a plain background, I took the detail image from one of the smaller flowers and stamped it randomly all over with crumb cake ink to resemble a sheet of designer paper.  I love doing that with my stamps!

  It was easy to take it to the next step by attaching a crushed curry border at the bottom from the dotted scallop ribbon border punch and then adding it to a piece of 12" x 12" old olive card stock.  I also added a border of daffodil delight DSP from the Brights stack that I sponged with crumb cake along with four photo squares.  To finish the page, I stamped this great sentiment in the From My Heart stamp set once with crumb cake and then the word "Enjoying" with soft suede ink and cut it out using the Apothecary Accents framelits with my Big Shot.  Everything was sponged with crumb cake ink and I love the way this page turned out!  So as you can see, it is really easy to do a progressive scrapbook page when you start with a 6" x 6" clean and simple layout.  I hope you give it a try!

 To purchase any of the products used with today's projects, please place your order via my Stampin' Up! online store or contact me to assist you.  The list of products used can be found at the bottom of this post. 

  Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for even more scrapbooking inspiration... have a safe and fabulous Memorial Day weekend!  Go out and make some memories to scrapbook!!!
