Unfrogettable Stamping!

March 2020 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Final Days of Sale-a-Bration

 

  Hi there and welcome to the March 2020 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing projects that feature Sale-a-Bration products since this fabulous promotion is coming to an end in a few weeks.  What have been your favorites this year?  This birthday card came together pretty quickly thanks to the two SAB items I used - can you guess which ones they are? Scroll down to see...

 

Happy Birthday to You Sale-a-Bration stamp set

  I chose to once again use the Lily Impressions DSP that I LOVE along with the Happy Birthday to You stamp set to make my birthday card.  You can see other projects I have made with these products here, here and here.

 

 

  I apologize for the terrible photos - taking photos at night is not the best. I wish you could see how bright and cheerful this card is in real life.

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the stamped panel on the card front. I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the flowers with several Stampin' Blend markers: Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Petal Pink and Pumpkin Pie.  To "color" my cake I used the clear Wink of Stella glimmer brush - I darkened the photo so you could see it.  If you're wondering where the cake stand came from I had preordered the coordinating Birthday Dies but sadly they have sold out.  That is also how I cut out the cake image and flowers.  These were mounted on top of a whisper white panel cut with the Stitched Rectangles dies.  The orange strip of DSP is actually on the reverse of the larger piece at the bottom of the card.

 

 

  As you can see, I stamped the inside of the card with the birthday sentiment and then added a strip of the DSP at the bottom.

 

 

 

  And here is one last look at my birthday card. For even more Sale-a-Bration ideas and inspiration, be sure to check out the rest of the projects on the Hop by using the links below.

Fabulous Friday: Color Challenge Thank You Card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! Today we were challenged with creating projects using the March 2020 Color Challenge for Fabulous Friday over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.    

 

 

  Karla chose basic gray, bermuda bay and pear pizzazz for this color challenge.  I must admit that I struggled a LOT with this color palette, but ultimately decided it would work well for a masculine card. I needed a thank you card anyway so this was perfect!  I wasn't sure which color I wanted to stand out the most, but settled on a basic gray card base with a pop of the bermuda bay for the larger sentiment and the pear pizzazz as an accent.

 

 

  I once again turned to one of my favorite stamp sets from the Spring mini catalog - Seriously the Best - found on page 60.  You may remember this card that I made back in January using this stamp set.  This stamp set coordinates with the Seriously the Best project kit that contains supplies to make 16 cards.

 

 

  Here  is another view of my card. I kept  it super simple - stamping the sentiments and foliage image on a piece of whisper white card stock cut using the Stitched Rectangles framelits.  

 

 

  The "thanks" was stamped with bermuda bay ink and the longer sentiment was stamped with basic gray ink.  I wanted the "the" to stand out in the longer sentiment so stamped it on a scrap piece of whisper white with bermuda bay ink and cut it out and mounted it to the panel. Lastly, I stamped the foliage image with pear pizzazz ink.

 

 

  Here is the inside of the card - just a piece of whisper white card stock stamped with the same foliage image as from the front of the card in the lower left corner.  This way there is enough room to write a note but brings the front of the card into the inside of the card.

 

 

  I kept thise card very clean and simple, perfect for a masculine card.  For even more color challenge 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: Lily Impressions Birthday Card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! Today we are featuring birthday card ideas in our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  I decided to use DSP again since it helps to make a quick and easy card and added in birthday sentiments from the Itty Bitty Birthdays and Beautiful Friendship stamp sets along with a few punches and ribbon to make this clean and simple card.  This DSP really is goregous, don't you think? 

 

  This graphic shows you all the beautiful patterns in the Lily Impressions pack of DSP.  It is a Sale-a-Bration selection this year. You can choose this DSP for FREE with a qualifying $50 order.  How great is that?!  Up close it looks like a painting with beautiful brush strokes of color.

 

 

  From this view you can see that I used a strip of the DSP on the inside of the card, too.  I pulled the colors for the card from the DSP: bermuda bay, daffodil delight, lovely lipstick and whisper white.  Having a mat of lovely lipstick card stock really makes the flowers in the DSP stand out I think.

 

 

  For the sentiment, I layered two different punches - lovely lipstick card stock was cut with the Pretty Label punch and is the bottom layer with the Timeless Label cutting out the sentiment that was stamped on whisper white card stock with Bermuda Bay ink.  I also added a piece of daffodil delight ruched ribbon for added texture and color.

 

 

 

  Here is the inside of the card with a strip of the DSP and sentiment from the Beautiful Friendship set stamped with bermuda bay ink.  

 

 

  I kept thise card very clean and simple so the DSP could really shine and it came together very quickly.  For even more birthday card 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: All About DSP - Tropical Oasis card set

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! Today we are featuring Designer Series Paper (DSP) in our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  I couldn't decide on one pattern so created a set of clean and simple cards featuring different pieces from this pack.

 

 

 

  I decided to use the Tropical Oasis pack that can be found on page 39 of the Jan-Jun mini catalog. I absolutely LOVE this product suite and used it last month on this project.  This time I am featuring different patterns from the pack - they are all so beautiful.  I also used the coordinating Timeless Tropical stamp set and kept them simple so the DSP could be the star  of the cards.  

 

 

 

  I colored the palm trees with stampin' write markers and then spritzed the stamp with water before stamping on this whisper white panel cut using the Stitched Rectangle framelits.  It really gives it a watercolor feel.  I pulled colors from the DSP - old olive, shaded spruce and early espresso. The sentiment was stamped with real red ink to pull out the color from the flowers.  I layered this onto a base card cut from Grapefruit Grove, which really picks up the colors in the flowers.

 

 

   How fun is this pattern? I think it is perfect for a masculine card.  I used early espresso ink for the sentiment and stamped it on a panel cut from the Stitched Nested Labels framelits.  Because I love adding fun texture on masculine cards, I put a loop of the braided linen trim under the panel, which was popped up with stampin' dimensionals.

 

 

  Here is my final card that I added to a Mango Melody card base.  The large hibiscus flower was inked with grapefruit grove, mango melody and real red stampin' write markers.  I very lightly spritzed with water and then stamped on the panel cut from the Layering Squares framelits.  Once that was dry I overstamped it with the sentiment using a shaded spruce ink pad.

  I kept these cards very clean and simple so the DSP could really shine.  These cards would definitely be easy ones to stamp en masse - you could crank out so many cards in one sitting with just a single pack of DSP and get so many different looks.  For even more DSP 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!

February 2020 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Showing and Sharing Love

 

  Hi there and Happy Valentine's Day!  Welcome to the February 2020 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing projects that feature a love theme in honor of Valentine's Day.  I chose to once again use the Heart to Heart stamp set that I used in my Fabulous Friday post earlier.  This time I chose a completely different color palette - which do you like better? 

 

  This color palette includes crumb cake, granny apple green, melon mambo and whisper white. I love how fun these colors are - reminds me of the 80's!   I kept my card design super clean and simple and strictly paper and ink. 

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the stamped panel on the card front. I stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink since this is a photopolymer stamp set, then inked up the heart image with granny apple green and melon mambo stampin' write markers and centered it above. Next, I cut it out of the whisper white card stock using the Label Me Lovely punch. Both the punch and stamp set can be found in the Jan-June mini catalog. To make the punch pop off the whisper white background, I cut another one out of crumb cake card stock and then cut it in half and glued it to the back. This was popped off the card front with stampin' dimensionals.

 

 

 

  As you can see, I stamped the inside of the card the same way that I did with my Fabulous Friday card. The change in colors really makes a difference, doesn't it?!

 

 

 

  And here is one last look at my Valentine's Day card. For even more love themed ideas and 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: Heart to Heart Valentine's Day card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! In honor of Valentine's Day, Karla asked us to share ideas for this heart-filled holiday for our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  I decided to use the Support Ribbon framelits once again (did you see last week's card?) for my ombre heart card along with the  Heart to Heart stamp set from the Jan-June mini catalog and the Swirls and Curls embossing folder. 

 

 

  This Heart to Heart stamp set can be found on page 12 of the Jan-Jun mini catalog and can be used for Weddings as well as Valentine's Day which I found to make it much more versatile! I also love the floral images in the set which is perfect for Spring cards.

 

 

  It is so hard to photograph early espresso card stock - believe it or not that is the color of the embossed piece on the card front.  My ombre hearts were cut from whisper white, blushing bride, melon mambo and lovely lipstick card stock.

 

 

 

  I stamped the sentiment on the front of the card with early espresso (stamped off once),  melon mambo and blushing bride ink.  I fussy cut the little blushing bride flower and added it to the panel using a stampin' dimensional.

 

 

 

  For the inside of the card I once again used early espresso and melon mambo ink - the sentiment was perfect and the flower images are just so pretty, don't you think?

 

 

  Here is one more look at my Valentine's Day card.  For even more 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: Anything Goes Timeless Tropical birthday card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday!  Today is an "Anything Goes" theme for our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog and I decided to break out some great products from the Tropical Oasis suite that I recently ordered.  

 

 

  This awesome Tropical Oasis product suite can be found in the new January-June mini catalog - it just screams summertime and the tropics which is my happy place.  The DSP is fabulous and I almost didn't even want to cut it!   And how about that gorgeous texture on the braided burlap ribbon?  I also love the images and sentiments in the stamp set.  See all of the great products here in my Stampin' Up! online store.  And now you can purchase the ENTIRE suite in one bundle (here)- and during Sale-a-Bration you'll also earn TWO $50 items or ONE $100 item!!

 

  Here's another view of my card.  I used a piece of the DSP from the Tropical Oasis pack - it is so bright and beautiful!  The color palette for my card is from the DSP:  mango melody, mossy meadow and whisper white.  The Label Me Lovely punch perfectly fit the sentiment and overstamped flower image.  I love how the mango melody background really makes the yellows of the floral design pop out more on the card.

    

 

 

  Here is a close-up view of the sentiment and flower. I inked the sentiment first with mossy meadow and stamped on a strip of whisper white card stock. I then overstamped it with the flower which I had inked first with mango melody, then in the very center I added flirty flamingo ink from the corner of that pad. I stamped off once on a piece of scrap paper, then onto the sentiment so it wouldn't be so dark.  I then centered it in my punch and cut it out - super easy!  I figured out where I wanted it on my card and simply taped a piece of the braided burlap ribbon and attached the sentiment with stampin' dimensionals.

 

 

  Here is how I designed the inside of my card - I left it blank but added a scrap strip of the DSP. It adds just a little touch from the outside of the card but leaves plenty of room to write.

 

 

  Here is one more look at my tropical birthday card.  For even more 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!
