Unfrogettable Stamping!

Fabulous Friday: Back-to-School project

 

  Hello and Happy Friday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are featuring back-to-school projects because once again it is that time of year.  My girls are back at college this week, ready to start classes on Monday, and my son has been in school since August 14th!  It is hard to believe that summer vacation is over for them already.  Having pretty notepads to write in makes school just a little less painful, don't you think?  That's why I created this set of a covered notepad and post-it pad using the Free as a Bird stamp set and Magnolia Lane DSP.  

 

  Here is a side-view of the notepad - it is an inexpensive one I picked up and covered with mossy meadow cardstock - I measured it and added a quarter inch at the top for the binding and added an inch to adhere to the cardboard backing.  Easy-peasy!  Once that was done, I just decorated it as if it were a very large 5" x 8" card.  The sentiment, bird and leaf images were stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink (so I could color them using stampin' blends markers) on whisper white card stock cut out using the Stitched Nested Labels thinlits.  I then stamped the bird again on a scrap piece of whisper white card stock, colored it with stampin' blends markers and cut it out and mounted it to the label die-cut.

 

  Here is a side-view of my covered post-it pad.  I used the new Timeless label punch as the base for the bird.  These covered post-it pads are great to have on your desk, in your car and even in your purse - they make great party favors so remember them when you host your next baby or bridal shower!  

 

  Here is another look at my projects.  For even more back-to-school ideas and inspiration, please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created this week.   

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous weekend!

Fabulous Friday: Summer Flowers

 

  Hello and Happy Friday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are featuring flowers in our Fabulous Friday card designs.  I chose to use the Beautiful Friendship stamp set because I love the look of these flowers.  

 

  Here is another view of my card - I stamped the flowers on a die-cut from the Stitched Nested Labels collection and used the Buffalo Check background stamp for the seaside spray card stock mat below.  Lastly, I finished the card off with a bit of the ribbon from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon combo pack.

 

  My summer flowers are all in full bloom at my home and I wanted to recreate that look on my card - I chose Flirty Flamingo, Seaside Spray (new In Color), Granny Apple Green and Highland Heather inks for the flower images and Night of Navy for the sentiment.  Here in this close-up photo you can see that I fussy cut the flower (is this a knock-out rose?) and popped it up on top of the others to add some dimension.  I also added Wink of Stella to the centers of the flowers but my camera didn't capture it very well.  

 

  Here is another look at my card.  For even more fabulous flower ideas and inspiration, please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created this week.

August 2019 Blog Hop - Sneak Peek Holiday 2019 Catalog!

 

  Hi there and welcome to the August 2019 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing sneak peek products from the upcoming Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.  By now many of my regular stampers should have received their catalogs in the mail - please let me know if you haven't. 

 

 

  What is your favorite product suite?  I have a few, but the Wrapped in Plaid is pretty high on my list.  I just love the plaid DSP and the gold foil detail in the papers is really gorgeous.  The font of the sentiments in the Perfectly Plaid stamp set are fantastic, too!!  And who doesn't love a punch that perfectly cuts out multiple images from a stamp set - these trees can be used for so much more than holiday cards.  I also added a strip of the beautiful diagonal striped 3/8" cherry cobbler ribbon from the Night Before Christmas product suite and a few Holiday Rhinestones.  

 

  Here is a side-view of the stamped and layered ovals, which were die-cut using the Layering Ovals thinlits. Each layer is popped up with stampin' dimensionals and I slid the ribbon between the oval layers.  And check out the rhinestones, aren't they awesome?  They come in a pack of 140 in 3 sizes (3mm, 4mm and 5mm) and in five different colors: cherry cobbler, coastal cabana, night of navy, pumpkin pie and shaded spruce.  

 

 

   Here is how I stamped the inside of the card - the little pinecones in the corner are also in this set as is the Christmas sentiment.

 

 

 

  Here is one more view of my Holiday Catalog sneak peek Christmas card. For even more Holiday Catalog inspiration and ideas, 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: Embossing Paste sympathy card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog Karla asked us to design a card featuring Embossing Paste.  I thought I had white embossing paste that was current but found out too late that I only had the retired silver paste from a few years ago.  You could mimic this look by mixing frost white shimmer paint and smoky slate ink into the white embossing paste.  I used it with the Pattern Party decorative mask and think it adds great texture to the mint macaron cardstock.  Added bonus - it looks like lattice.  One word of advice after spreading the paste - carefully peel up the mask and then immediately wash it with warm soapy water.  You'll want to set the card stock aside to let it completely dry, also.

 

 

  Here in this close-up photo you can see the texture a little better.  I stamped the flower image from the Healing Hugs stamp set with real red ink on a separate piece of card stock, fussy-cut it and mounted it with stampin' dimensionals on top of the leaves that had been stamped on the panel with mossy meadow ink.  I also added some braided linen trim to the card for added texture.  

 

 

  I kept it simple on the inside of the card, stamping a foliage image in the bottom corner and a sympathy sentiment from the Flourshing Phrases stamp set in the center using Mossy Meadow ink.

 

 

  Here is another look at my card.  For even more fabulous embossing paste ideas please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created this week.

Fabulous Friday: My dream spot by the ocean

 

  Hello and Happy Friday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog Jennifer asked us to design a card that was inspired by the Ocean or a Lake.  I immediately thought of the Waterfront stamp set and created this simple Z-Fold card.  I love how easy it is to use this photopolymer stamp set, layering colors that look like I painted it with watercolors.  And my dream place to retire is by the ocean so I wouldn't mind living in this tiny hut!!

 

  If you haven't made a Z-Fold card they are so simple - for this card I cut the Pool Party card stock 11" x 4-1/4".  I scored it at 2-3/4" and 5-1/2" on the 11" side and folded the shorter flap backwards.  It really helps to use a bone folder to make the folds crisp.  The color combination I used with this card was Pool Party, So Saffron and Soft Suede along with whisper White.  I also used Early Espresso, Garden Green and Tuxedo Black (Memento pad) ink for the stamping - don't you just want to be here right now sipping a pina colada or ice cold beer?  

 

 

  Here is another look at my card.  For even more fabulous lake and ocean-inspired ideas please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created this week.
