Unfrogettable Stamping!

Fabulous Friday: Birds of a Feather Wrapped in Plaid Christmas card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog Rachel asked us to create Fabulous Friday projects featuring birds.  Here is my project, a fun Christmas card featuring the Birds of a Feather stamp set and Wrapped in Plaid DSP stack.  I really loved Karla's project a few months ago and used her card as inspiration for mine (see that card here).

 

 

 

  How cute is this little chick from the Birds of a Feather stamp set?  I used the Pirate duckie image from this set last month for a Halloween favor (see that post HERE).  I colored this little birdie image with my Stampin' Blends markers using the Cherry Cobbler and Daffodil Delight combos plus the Dark Pumpkin Pie and Light Smoky Slate markers.  I don't know if you can see it, but I colored the pom-pom, hat trim and star with a Chalk Marker and then added Dazzling Diamonds glitter with Tombow Multipurpose glue to add some bling.  I cut out the image with a 2" circle punch which is glued to a mat of Granny Apple Green card stock cut with the Starburst punch. This stamp set and the Wrapped in Plaid DSP stacks available now through January 2nd in the Holiday catalog, which you'll find HERE in my Stampin' Up! store.

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the sentiment, which I cut out using one of the Stitched Nested Labels dies.   I used the Sprig punch to cut out some foliage from Granny Apple Green card stock to attach behind for some added color and interest. In this photo you can see the gold foil lines in the DSP.  It's so pretty!

 

 

 

  Here is one more look at my little bird Christmas card.  For even more card ideas and inspiration please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created this week.

November 2019 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop - Home Decor

 

  Hi there and welcome to the November 2019 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing Home Decor created with our favorite Stampin' Up! products.  I decided to make a piece of framed art for my Mom, who is currently battling ovarian cancer for the third time in 5 years. She is a fighter and this sentiment from the Strong & Beautiful stamp set fits her perfectly. 

 

 

  I was inspired and decided to CASE this gorgeous card that was created by Nancy Ferb (see that here) - the colors were perfect since the Ovarian cancer ribbon is teal. I used Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and Coastal Cabana for my project.

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the ribbon. I cut it using Bermuda Bay cardstock and the Support Ribbon dies with my Big Shot. Once cut, I ran it back through my Big Shot using the Swirls & Curls embossing folder. I popped it up on a piece of daffodil delight cardstock that I cut out with the Starburst punch.  The background piece is coastal cabana cardstock run through the Big Shot with the Tufted 3D embossing folder.

 

 

  This butterfly is what I CASE'd from Nancy's card.  I love the way she colored it with Stampin' Blends - I used the Bermuda Bay and Daffodil Delight markers, both light and dark of each, and blended.  I think it really adds to the frame.

 

 

  Here is another view of my frame. For even more Home Decor ideas and inspiration, be sure to check out the rest of the projects on the Hop by using the links below.

Fabulous Friday: Magnolia slider card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday!  Over on the Sisters in Stamping blog Karla asked us to create slider cards for our Fabulous Friday projects today.  I will have to admit that I have seen these but never attempted one before. It took me a while to figure it out but following along with this tutorial from Splitcoaststampers really helped (link here). I decided to make a Thinking of You card and used my favorite product suite from the Annual catalog - Magnolia Lane.  I just love the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and coordinating DSP Magnolia Lane.

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the stamped panel. I totally cheated and fussy cut a flower from one of the DSP sheets.  I kept this card front very clean and simple, popping up the flower on the stamped stitched oval die cut.

 

 

  So these cards are fun - you pull on the left side and the right side magically slides out.  Whoever first came up with this idea is a GENIUS!  I simply stamped the petal pink card stock panels using ink colors from the DSP - petal pink and mossy meadow.

 

 

  Here is one more look at my slider card fully expanded.  For even more slider card ideas and inspiration please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created this week.

Fabulous Friday: Trick or Tweet Halloween favor

 

  Hello and Happy Friday!  Over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing Halloween treats for our Fabulous Friday projects today.  It's hard to believe that we are almost at the end of October already - it seems like Summer just ended.  I decided to fill a clear envelope with chocolate kisses after cutting off the self-adhesive flap. These are great and so versatile because you can actually use them to mail cards AND use them as treat bags!

 

  I ordered the Birds of a Feather cling stamp set from the Holiday catalog because I thought the images were so cute. I am not a huge fan of coloring, but using the Stampin' Blends made it pretty easy.  Isn't this pirate costumed duckling just the cutest?

 

 

  Here is a close-up view of my tag - I cut out an oval using my Big Shot and the Stitched Shapes framelits.  To attach the tag, I just punched a small hole and fed some white baker's twine through and tied it onto the ribbon.

 

 

  Speaking of ribbon, did you know that you can color white or vanilla ribbon with the Stampin' Blends? I used the silver metallic-edge ribbon because it matched the foil wrappers of the chocolates and colored with my dark pumpkin pie stampin' blend marker.  It dried very quickly and soaked through so that both sides were colored at once. Easy-peasey!

 

  Here is one more look at my Halloween treat.  For even more spooky and fun favor ideas please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created this week.

Fabulous Friday: Fall sponged card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday!  Over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing projects inspired by Fall.  Seven years ago I CASE'd a gorgeous card designed by the super talented Heather Telford for a Pinterest-inspired blog post (see that post here).  I decided to CASE that card again using the Rooted in Nature stamp set and the gorgeous large tree image from it. 

 

  Here is the original card created by Heather (link to it here).  I just loved the simplicity of this card and the gorgeous sponged ink.

 

 

  Here is another view of my card.  I love how easy this was to create using the Rectangle Stitched framelits - so much easier than sponging through a masked hole like I did many years ago when CASE'ing this card (did you see that post here?).

 

 

   Here is a close up of the image panel - you can see the stitched edging of the sponged panel. I cut the rectangle out and then sponged crushed curry, cajun craze and real red ink onto the panel.  Once it was completely dry I fit it back into the hole in the panel and stamped the large tree using early espresso ink.  I then added a thin crushed curry card stock mat and lined the image back up.  In order to keep it secure, I taped it from behind before gluing the white panel onto my card front.

 

 

 

 

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

Fabulous Friday: Fun Color Combo Beautiful You card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday!  Over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing cards created with this fun color combination that Karla chose:  Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Poppy Parade and Whisper White.  I decided to use the Beautiful You and Buffalo Check stamp sets along with the Stitched Nested Labels die to create my project.

 

 

  Here is another view of my card.  I used the polka dot tulle ribbon for a little bit of added texture.

 

 

   Here is a close up of the image panel - I watercolored it using my aqua painter and the ink pads. Did you know that you can squeeze the ink pad and use the ink that is deposited on the lid? 

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the sentiment panel - I added a little butterfly from the Butterfly Gala stamp set and cut with the Butterfly Duet punch.  I also added a little pearl that mimics the polka dots in the tulle ribbon.  

 

 

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

Fabulous Friday: Happy Tails Sympathy card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are featuring Sympathy cards for our Fabulous Friday projects.  We had to say goodbye to our sweet boy CJ last Friday. It was completely unexpected and cancer took him from us way too soon. My heart was broken and I had to take some time to mourn.  This week I am back sharing a card that I made for a friend who also had to say goodbye to her little Noel last week.  I used the Happy Tails stamp set and coordinating Dog Builder punch to make my clean and simple card.  I also utilized the Tufted 3D embossing folder and Stitched Nested Labels die set for a quick and simple card.

 

  Here's my sweet little guy - I can't believe I will never get another snuggle with him. Our furry friends never stay with us long enough, do they?!  I am just grateful for the time we had with him. He was a rescue from our local animal shelter and he brought me such joy over the last year.  I will surely miss him.

 

 

   Here is another view of my card where you can see the texture on the crumb cake panel just a little bit better.  The lighting was weird in my room when I took these photographs so I apologize if it is hard to see.  

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the panel - this punch was actually cut from early espresso card stock although it sure does look like basic black in the photo.  I used a real red heart and soft suede ink for the sentiment.  And once again I used a bit of the braided linen trim - this is by far my favorite ribbon to use right now. I love the texture!

 

 

  And not forgetting the inside of the blushing bride card, I used the paw and heart images along with the sentiment.  These words couldn't be truer!

 

 

 

  Here is one more look at my card along with the stamped envelope.  For even more sympathy card inspiration and ideas please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created this week.

September 2019 Blog Hop - Anything But A Card

 

  Hi there and welcome to the September 2019 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing "anything but a card" projects. I decided to make a fun candy favor that is super easy and features the great Magnolia Lane product suite.

 

 

  Here is a side view of my project.  I put two miniature chocolate bars in a cello envelope and attached them to the inside of this pretty card stock and DSP wrapper.  Who wouldn't love to leave a party with a pretty favor like this one? It's perfect for a bridal shower, baby shower or even as a small gift to give to co-workers, Sunday School classmates or even your neighbors. 

 

 

  Take a look at it before I folded it up - the card stock is cut to 9-3/4" x 3-1/4". Score on the long side at 1", 5-1/4" and 5-1/2".  You'll cut the DSP at 3" x 3/4" and 3" x 4" and attach to the front before cutting out your "window" - you can use any punch or die-cut that you want. I chose to use one of the circle dies in the Layering Circles die set.  Last, I added a few circles to thread my ribbon through (make sure to close it up first so you can go through all the layers).

 

   In this close-up you can see where I fussy cut one of the large Magnolia flowers from a separate design from this DSP pack.  Aren't these gorgeous? And the coloring is already done for you - super easy!

 

 

  Here is one last view of my candy favor. For even more "anything but a card" inspiration and ideas, be sure to check out the rest of the projects on the Hop by using the links below.

Fabulous Friday: 10 Year Celebration CASE'd card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday!  All  month long over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are celebrating our 10 year Anniversary!  I cannot believe I have known these wonderful women whom I consider my dear stamping sisters for so long.  To share the love, we are giving away Blog Candy the next three weeks - all you need to do to enter each week is leave us a comment THERE (here is nice, too).  A winner will be drawn randomly each Thursday and announced on our Fabulous Friday blog post.  Be sure to hop over to see what we're giving away this week plus check out the always fabulous projects!! 

 

  This week we're CASE'ing ourselves... we each are choosing a Fabulous Friday project from back in the day, and revamping it using current product.  I chose to revamp the card above (find the original post here).   As you can see, most of the products have since retired including the  stamp set (Wetlands), color (Island Indigo) and die-cut (Deco-Label framelits with Square Lattice textured Impressions folder).  But I really love sponging and the beach is my absolute favorite place on earth to be (in case you didn't know already).  My prayers are going up for all those in Hurricane Dorian's path along the East Coast from Florida and The Bahamas all they way up to Virginia Beach.

 

 

  Here is a side-view of my new card - I used the High Tide stamp set, Blueberry Bushel with Balmy Blue and the Stitched Nested Labels dies.  I also incorporated the Braided Linen trim - I think it adds a nautical flair to the card.  

 

 

  I just love these sandpipers - they're always fun to watch running in and out of the surf at the beach.  I stamped them first on the left side of the panel with soft suede ink, then added the ripply waves using balmy blue ink.  I stamped once full-strength, then once again without re-inking. I did this a couple of times moving the stamp around to create the water.  Next, I added the sand and dunes with crumb cake ink.  Last I came in with soft suede ink to stamp the sea grasses along the edge of the dunes.  To create the moon/sun (depending on what time of day you think it is), I used my 1" circle punch with a post-it note and attached it in the upper corner.  I carefully added very small amounts of balmy blue ink in a swirly motion to the panel (making sure all of the stamped images were completely dry first) starting at the circle and getting heavier-handed as I moved out toward the edges.  Once I felt like my sky was done I came back in with the blueberry bushel and sponged the outer edges of the die-cut panel very lightly.  When I got to the moon/sun I peeled off the post-it note and very lightly sponged that edge.  Voila, super easy and it looks pretty!

 

  Here is another look at my card.  For even more throwback card inspiration and to enter the Blog Candy drawing, please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created this week.

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.
