Unfrogettable Stamping!

Fabulous Friday: Celebrating the Occasions Catalog

  Hello and Happy Friday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are celebrating the start of the Occasions catalog this week.  Have you got a huge wish list because this one is fantastic!  I had to really restrain myself and only preorder a few items.  I created my Fabulous Friday project for today using the Life is Grand stamp set and bright and cheery Happiness Blooms DSP.  This fun and flowery DSP features all five of the new 2018-2020 In Colors!

 

  Here is another view of the card - I kept it super simple, allowing the DSP to be the focus along with the cool font of the sentiment.

 

  The little Lovely Lipstick flower was created using a die from the Seasonal Layers thinlits. The pop of grapefruit grove behind was added using a 1/2" circle cut using the punch and I embellished it with a small rhinestone jewel.

 

 

  Here is a view of the inside of the card, just the sentiment stamped with Call Me Clover with plenty of room left to write.

 

  Here is one more view of my birthday card. I really love the bright colors! For even more fabulous Occasions catalog projects please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created for your inspiration. 

* Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend! *

Fabulous Friday: Last-minute gift card holder idea

  Hello and Happy Friday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing last-minute Christmas gift card holder ideas and mine came together pretty quickly thanks to the the Under the Mistletoe DSP and Dashing Deer bundle from the Holiday catalog.  I found this gift card holder that Barb Mullikin shared on her blog recently and loved the idea. Thanks, Barb!

 

  How cute is this?  The little pocket holds the gift card and the box holds chocolate kisses.  I chose red ones from my Christmas pack - aren't they fun?! 

 

    Here is a close-up of the stamped panel - I used the silver foil paper as the base mat cut using the Starburst punch.  I then stamped whisper white card stock with the long sash image from the Dashing Deer stamp set with shaded spruce ink repeatedly then cut out using a 1-3/4" circle punch.  The deer, stamped with soft suede ink, was cut out using the Big Shot and a coordinating thinlit from the Detail Deer set.  I really love how it came together!

 

  Here is a different view of the little box holding the chocolate kisses.  Don't they look cute all snug in there?

 

  Here is another view of the gift card holder showing the window sheet which helps to hold in the chocolates.

 

 

  Here is one more view of my Christmas gift card holder. I really like the way it turned out! For even more fabulous gift card holder ideas please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created for your inspiration.

Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Occasions catalog Sneak Peek of Happy Tails

  Hi there and welcome to the December Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are creating sneak peek projects featuring products from the upcoming Occasions catalog. Does this card look famliar?  I CASE'd myself - this card was a Fabulous Friday project when we featured Window Sheets.

 

  We are huge dog lovers in my family so I *had* to have the Happy Tails stamp set and coordinating Dog builder punch as soon as I saw them in the new Occasions catalog!!  Speaking of the Occasions catalog, they should be en route via the US Postal Service to my regular stampers - if you don't receive one by the end of the month please let me know so I can mail you one. 

 

  Although it may look like a white strip of card stock that the dog is sitting atop, it is actually a strip of window sheet that I attached to the back of the cardfront.  The heart is attached on top of the window sheet with a mini glue dot and the dog is popped up with stampin' dimensionals.  I stamped the paw print and sentiment on the inside of the card.

 

 

  Here are my cuties - this is a photo I shared on my Unfrogettable Stamping Instagram account on National Dog Day a while back. 

 

  This dog that I created and colored is a combination of my two dogs - the coloring of our Golden Retriever Mika and the markings of our Bassett Hound/Spaniel mutt C.J.  I stamped the dog outline on very vanilla card stock with early espresso ink and then overstamped the dots and spots using crumb cake ink.  After I cut it out using the coordinating punch I sponged additional crumb cake all over.

 

 

  I wanted this sentiment to look like a dog tag and used two circle punches to create it.  And I added the pineapple punch grosgrain ribbon to mimic a dog collar and add a pop of color to the card.

 

 

 Here is one more view of my card - I really like this fun doggie card and hope you do, too.  Please continue on the blog hop by using the links below for even more great Occasions catalog sneak peek inspiration. 

Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend!!

Fabulous Friday: Dashing Deer Christmas Ornament

  Hello and Happy Friday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing Christmas ornaments created using our favorite Stampin' Up! products.  What do you think of my ornament?  I created it using a coaster as my base along with the Under the Mistletoe DSP from the Annual catalog as well as the Dashing Deer bundle and Joyous Noel glimmer paper from the Holiday catalog.

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the corner element - I love the dies in the coordinating Detail Deer thinlits from the beautiful leaping buck to the intricate corner details and flowers.

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the banner - I cut a notch in the end and added a flower die cut with a rhinestone gem on the other. after stamping the sentiment from the Dashing Deer stamp set.

 

 

  I wish you could see how glittery and beautiful this deer die cut is in real life - and it was so easy to cut out using the Big Shot with the copper piece from the Joyous Noel glimmer paper.  I popped it up with stampin' dimensionals so it really stands out on the ornament.

 

 

  Here is one more view of my Christmas ornament. I really like the way it turned out! For even more fabulous ornament ideas please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created for your inspiration.

Fabulous Friday: Quick and Easy Christmas Card

 Happy Friday and thanks so much for visiting!  Can you believe today is the last day of November already?  Christmas is just around the corner and this week we are sharing Quick & Easy Christmas cards for our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  

  There's nothing like being able to send family and friends hand-stamped Christmas cards, and simple quick and easy cards can be just as beautiful as one that took you hours to make.  I created my card using the awesome Gold Foil-Edged Cards and Envelopes set that is in the Holiday catalog - you get 2o of these beautiful cards with matching envelopes!  I added a piece of DSP from the All is Bright pack - WOW, this is awesome DSP!  And to that I added two die cuts from the Big Shot - a real red card stock oval and gorgeous deer cut from a gold foil sheet.  The sentiment was stamped on a small strip of whisper white card stock that I notched with my paper snips and VOILA - a quick and easy card that is stunning.

 

  How beautiful is this deer die-cut?!  I love all the gold details on this card from the trim on the base card to the ornaments on the DSP.

 

  And here is a look at the inside of the card with a simple sentiment from the Timeless Tidings stamp set that says it all.

  

  Here is one more view of my Quick & Easy Christmas card.  For even more fabulous Christmas card ideas please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created for your inspiration.

Fabulous Friday: Flourishing Phrases Sympathy card

 
 Happy Friday and thanks so much for visiting!  This week we are sharing Sympathy cards for our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  There's nothing like receiving a hand-stamped card and for someone who is hurting from a recent loss it really shows how much you care.

 

  I created my card using the Flourishing Phrases stamp set and a color combination of Merry Merlot, Sahara Sand and Whisper White.  The background piece was created by stamping the large floral image all over the card stock to mimic designer paper.  I love how it turned out.  

 

 

  The main focal image is the large flower from the stamp set.  I stamped it on whisper white card stock and then cut it out and popped it up on a circle cut using the Big Shot and Stitched Shapes framelits.  I added a simple banner with the sympathy sentiment and finished the flower with a pearl.  

 

 
  And here is a look at the inside of the card with a sentiment and leaves from the stamp set.  I sometimes find it hard to get the words right in sympathy cards and love that Stampin' Up! has this great sentiment that says it all.

  

 

  Here is one more view of my throwback card.  For even more fabulous throwback projects please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created for your inspiration.

Stampers Dozen November Blog Hop: Color Challenge Pretty Pink Snowflake card

 

  

 Hi there and welcome to the November Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are creating projects with a fun color challenge featuring Merry Merlot, Powder Pink and Silver Foil.  I decided to go with an unconventional Christmas card using the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set.  

 

    These colors are really pretty together and I really like how this card turned out.  I turned to my trusty Big Shot and several framelits including the Seasonal Layers thinlits and Stitched Shapes framelits to create it.  i also used the different snowflakes in the stamp set to create my own background.  

 

  I cut the snowflake out of the center of the silver foil mat and my scratched up cutting pad transferred those scratches to the foil, but I like the texture it left behind.

 

  Here is a view of the inside of the card - I added one of each snowflake in the bottom left corner and added a sentiment in the center.

 

 

 Here is one more view of my card - I really like this fun and funky Christmas card and hope you do, too.  Please continue on the blog hop by using the links below for even more great color inspiration. 

Thanks for visiting and have a great week!!

 Happy Friday and thanks so much for visiting!  In honor of the 30th Anniversary of Stampin' Up! this week, Karla asked us to use the first stamp set we ever bought for our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  I think that the first set that I ever purchased way back in 2001 was Frosty, but sadly I could not locate it in my craft room and think I may have sold it.  So I pulled out my Definitely Decorative Toile set that is almost as old (it has a date of 2002 on the sticker) and paired it with the Sincere Salutations set (not as old, but one of my all-time favorites) to create this monochromatic birthday card.  

 

  I *LOVE* a stamp set that I can use to create my own backgrounds and this Toile set is one I used many, many times in the past.  It is beautiful with basic black, real red and even cherry cobbler.  My favorite, though, is with night of navy and this time I added a layer of smoky slate card stock to match the silver embossing on the sentiment.  I stamped a piece of card stock that was 4-7/8" x 3-3/4" and then cut it into 1-5/8" strips and glued them to the smoky slate card stock mat.    I tied a strip of the gorgeous (but sadly retired) whisper white organza ribbon and knotted it before I glued the mat to my night of navy card base.

 

 
  Here is a close-up of the sentiment - I stamped one of the images from the Toile set in Night of Navy and used a Blender Pen to smear the ink to color the berries.  Next I used Versamark ink with the sentiment and silver embossing powder to get this beautiful heat embossing.  It has been a while since I embossed and I am always amazed when it magically turns from powder into this beautiful smooth silver. I cut out the oval and mat using the Layering Ovals framelits with my Big Shot.  

 

  And here is a look at the inside of the card with a different image from the Toile set.  I also colored the flowers with a Blender Pen just like the berries on the front of the card.  It's subltle and I love the look!

Fabulous Friday: Polka Dot Whimsical Reindeer Christmas card

 

 Happy Friday and thanks so much for visiting!  This week over over on the Sisters in Stamping blog Cindy asked us to create projects featuring RIBBON for Fabulous Friday.  I don't use a lot of ribbon, so no out-of-the-box thinking on my card here.  I do love the whimsy of this Whisper White 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle ribbon, which I tied in a simple bow on the card.  

 

 

  I paired the ribbon with the equally whimsical Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and Under the Mistletoe DSP.  Here is a side shot of my card - you can see that I popped up the reindeer head on the layered oval panel.  I also stamped the nose with real red ink and cut it to make Rudolph.  The sentiment was stamped on a small strip of whisper white card stock that I notched on each end with my paper snips and popped up on the card.  

 

 

  Here is one more view of my Christmas card.  For even more fabulous ribbon project ideas please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created for your inspiration.

Fabulous Friday: Ribbon of Courage shaker card

 
 Happy Friday and thanks so much for visiting!  This week over over on the Sisters in Stamping blog Rachel asked us to create shaker cards for our Fabulous Friday proejct.  Here is what I came up with - how do you like it?  I haven't made many shaker cards, but I am happy with it!

 

 
  I decided to use the Ribbon of Courage stamp set with coordinating Support Ribbon framelits.  I pulled off some of the mini silver sequins and used those as my shaker pieces.  Underneath is a piece of DSP from the Garden Impressions stack, it has beautiful melon mambo roses and I thought that was perfect for this card. 

 

  Here is one more view of my shaker card.  For even more fabulous shaker card ideas please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created for your inspiration.
