Unfrogettable Stamping!

Fabulous Friday: Beautiful Catalog CASE card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog I asked my fellow designers to find a card in the Annual Catalog to CASE.  I really loved the card on page 41 that is on the right (see below) and decided to use the Beautiful You and Beautiful Promenade stamp sets along with the Stitched Nested Labels die collection.

 

 

 I just really love the simplicity of this card layout and wanted to give it a try with stamps instead of DSP (although it is gorgeous in the sample on page 41).

 

 

  I used stampin' dimensionals to pop up the top card stock layer and you can see it better at this angle.  I stamped the large roses image and leaves in both corners using Seaside Spray ink on the card stock - I really like the tone-on-tone effect.  I left the focal image inside the frame super simple, just stamping the detail image with black ink and using the scribble image to "color" the dress with Blushing Bride ink.

 

 

 Here is a close-up of the cut flowers and sentiment.  I used Blushing Bride, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz and Seaside Spray ink for the flowers that I cut out and attached below the sentiment.  The sentiment is from the Beautiful You stamp set and is stamped with black ink (I really love my Memento Tuxedo Black pad).  I added a little bow tied with linen thread for a little added texture (earn a pack for FREE with your qualifying $50+ order placed via my online Stampin' Up! store using Host Code JZHZZWE3 through July 30th).

 

 

  Here is another look at my card.  For even more fabulous Catalog CASE card ideas and inspiration from the Annual catalog please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created last week.

Fabulous Friday: Corner Fold card

 

  Hello and Happy Monday! Well this is embarrassing!  It is becoming a weekly thing now to publish my Fabulous Friday post a few days late. My excuse is that my son was in a HUGE championship swim meet for the entire state of Virginia this weekend that our team hosted and I was at the pool working all weekend (I am an announcer so my voice is raw today) so I was too exhausted to remember that I had not finished my post... sorry about that!   Once again, I hope you'll enjoy the post a bit late.  This week (last week?) over on the Sisters in Stamping blog Karla asked us to share projects made with our favorite fun fold.  I had made a Corner Fold card previously and thought it was about time to make one again (see that post here). 

 

 Since this Magnolia Lane DSP is soooo gorgeous I wanted it to be the star of the card.  I even cut out a flower and added it to the bottom of the card next to the sentiment.  This beautiful sentiment is from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set that thankfully did not retire.  The "Thank You" is a die cut that I simply cut from the center of the petal pink card stock (see what I did there?) that is layered under the DSP.  

 

  But that also meant that you could now see it when you opened the card - more DSP to the rescue!

 

 Here is the flower that I cut from the DSP - I did cut two of the leaves off and re-position them so they didn't overhang too much. I popped it up with stampin' dimensionals - so pretty and I didn't have to color it!

 

 

  Here is another look at my card.  For even more fabulous card ideas and inspiration from the Everyday Occasions section of the Annual catalog please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created last week.   Be sure to check back tomorrow as I post this week's post!

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous weekend!

July 2019 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Color Your World 3 ways with Stampin' Blends, Aqua Painters and Stampin' Sponges

  Hi there and welcome to the July 2019 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are featuring coloring techniques and I chose to use three different techniques to "color my world" - aqua painters, stampin' blend markers and a stampin' sponge. This quick and easy card literally took me about 15 minutes to put together - I honestly think it took me longer to get the bow tied just right than it took to color the image using my aqua painter.  I love how easy it is to use an aqua painter grabbing ink from the lid of my ink pad. Using an aqua painter with watercolor paper makes is super easy to quickly push the color around.  

 

 

  This layout is super simple and I added just a hint of texture to the Seaside Spray card stock using the Subtle dynamic texture folder.  

 

 

    For some reason the Seaside Spray ink used to watercolor the sky is looking gray-ish in the photo.  In real life it coordinates beautifully with the card stock.  I used Petal Pink ink for the piggy, Garden Green ink for the grass and leaf and Daffodil Delight ink for the flower.  Don't forget when watercoloring it is best to use StazOn ink.  However, you really should stick to red rubber stamps as StazOn ink isn't good for photopolymer stamps.  When I use those, I grab my Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad and use my Stampin' Blends markers to color.  Speaking of Stampin' Blends, did you notice the little rhinestone in the center of the flower? I colored it using the Light Real Red Stampin' Blends marker (did you know you can color pearls and rhinestones with these?!?!?). 

 

  And how about that ribbon - I didn't have the new Petal Pink one yet so I colored the silver-edge ribbon with a stampin' sponge and my Petal Pink ink pad.  For this I recommend a light touch - you can always add more ink but can never take it away.  That is a good rule, in general, when using a stampin' sponge.

 

 

  Here is one more view of my card that was colored using an Aqua Painter, stampin' sponge and a Stampin' Blends marker. For even more coloring inspiration, 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!!

Fabulous Friday: Everyday Occasions masculine birthday card

 

  Hello and Happy Thursday! What happened? I forgot to publish this post last Friday... so sorry about that!  Summer is such a hectic time in my household - can you relate?!  Once again, I hope you'll enjoy the post a bit late.  This week (last week?) over on the Sisters in Stamping blog Jennifer asked us to share projects made with our products from the Everyday Occasions section of the Annual catalog found on pages 12-71.  I decided to change it up and use the Dashing Deer Christmas stamp set to make a masculine birthday card using a card sketch I found on Pinterest:

 

 I decided to turn the layout and create a card with Landscape orientation.  I am really loving this Pretty Peacock In Color and it pairs well with crumb cake, soft suede and mint macaron for a great "guy" card.  This deer may have some fancy antlers, but I think I pulled off a non-Christmas card with it with the help of the Well Said stamp set which can also be found in the Everyday  Occasions section of the Annual catalog.  And I am so happy that the Braided Linen thread carried over from the Holiday Catalog!  It adds such a great texture to this card.

 

  You can see the various layers from this angle - I love using stampin' dimensionals to elevate elements on the card.

 

 

  I was able to die-cut the deer very easily thanks to the coordinating Detailed Deer thinlits.  The circle was cut using the Stitched Shapes thinlits and the banner I just notched with my Paper Snips.

 

 

  Here's a close-up of the inside of the card - I added a a deer image in the bottom corner and then the sentiment was stamped on a strip of the mint macaron card stock.  To be honest, I stamped it crooked so had to improvise... looks okay, thought, right?!

 

 

  Here is another look at my card.  For even more fabulous card ideas and inspiration from the Everyday Occasions section of the Annual catalog please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created last week.   Be sure to check back tomorrow as I post this week's post!
