Unfrogettable Stamping!

Sunday Fun Day: Shaving Cream and Reinker Marbled Background technique card set, Part Three

 

   Hello and happy Tuesday!!  I wanted to share the last two cards from my set that I created for Sunday Fun Day over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.   In case you missed the first two posts, find them here and here.

 

 

  Today's two cards feature the Healing Hugs stamp set from the Annual catalog and the new A Touch of ink stamp set that is a Level 2 Sale-a-Bration selection this year.  I have already used this one so much (check out these cards here and here).

 

 

  This marbled strip is the perfect backdrop for the gorgeous flower from the Healing Hugs stamp set. I inked the flower with night of navy ink, stamped off once, and then stamped it onto a piece of scrap whisper white cardstock. I did the same for the leaves image with garden green ink. These were both fussy cut using my paper snips and added to the square cut out using the Stitched Shapes dies.  The sentiment was stamped with night of navy ink and then cut out using the Tailored Tags punch and added to the card.

 

 

  Here you can see that the marbled piece has more of the night of navy swirls. So pretty!

 

 

  For this final card, the marbling is the dramatic backdrop for the simple leaf image from the A Touch of Ink (SAB) stamp set. I used garden green ink and stamped it onto an oval die cut using the Stitched Shapes dies.  There was just enough room to squeeze in the Hello Friend sentiment stamped with night of navy ink. I embellished the card simply with a piece of the whisper white ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season ribbon pack. 

 

 

  Here is another view of this card.  I love how all of these cards turned out - which one was your favorite?  I hope you give this fun (but messy) technique a try! Be sure to have your pieces of whisper white pre-cut (I grabbed scraps) so that once you are inky you can just get rolling creating your marbled pieces.

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous day!

Sunday Fun Day: Shaving Cream and Reinker Marbled Background technique card set

 

   Hello and happy Sunday!!  Welcome back for another Sunday Fun Day over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.   This week we designed projects featuring the Shaving Cream technique to create marbled backgrounds using reinkers.  I had fun and ended up making lots of different marbled pieces for six cards. I only used two colors of reinkers, garden green and night of navy, and was able to create both masculine and feminine cards.  I'll share two today, and the rest over the next two days. All cards have a piece of whisper white card stock inside that was left blank.

  Here is a link to a tutorial that shows you the steps to create this marbled effect. This is a messy, but fun technique. Helpful hint - wear disposable gloves when working with this technique or your fingers will end up covered in ink!  Also, I found that using a scrap piece of cardboard to scrape the shaving cream off the card stock onto a paper towel was the easiest way to keep from making a huge mess.  Have a lot of paper towels on hand... did I mention this was a messy technique?  But so worth the effort for the final results, wouldn't you agree?

 

 

  For these first two cards I decided to go in a more masculine direction and chose to use the Sailing Home stamp set from the Annual catalog. 

 

 

  This marbled piece was the very first one I made, and you can tell that the colors are so much more vibrant!  I wanted to really play up the gorgeous marbling so kept the card very simple with a small stamped panel. The background mat for that is a piece of night of navy cut using the Label Me Lovely punch. I stamped the anchor image with night of navy after stamping off on a scrap piece of paper as I wanted a very light image. Then I overstamped that with the sentiment using garden green ink. This was cut out using the 2" circle punch and added to the card, popped up over a thin strip of night of navy card stock.

 

 

  In this view of the card you can better see the anchor in the background of the stamped piece. 

 

 

  For this card, the marbling reminded me of swirling water as the waves recede, so I wanted to use the lighthouse image. It is simply stamped with  night of navy card stock and the "Thanks" was stamped right onto the marbled piece.

 

 

  Here is another view of this card.  I love how these cards turned out and am excited to share the others with you over the next few days, so please be sure to check back!  And for even more great shaving cream technique card ideas and inspiration, please hop on over to the Sisters in Stamping blog.

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous day!

Sunday Fun Day: Pampered Pets Playful birthday card

 

 

 

   Hello and happy Sunday!!  Welcome back for another Sunday Fun Day over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.   This week we were tasked with creating birthday cards.  I haven't used the Playful Pets suite from the Annual catalog in a while, so pulled out the DSP and stamp set to create my card. I wanted to make a birthday card that could be given to anyone, and this stamp set and DSP are perfect for that!  

 

 

  Whenever I need some card inspiration, I turn to Pinterest. I have a Card Sketches board there and today's card is based on the sketch above, from the Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge (see it here). 

 

Pampered Pets stamp set #152520 $21.00

  The Playful Pets product suite is really great - the images are fun and are perfect for cat and dog lovers!!  Best of all, if you order the products used for today's project before February 28th, you can qualify for either two Level 1 or one Level 2 Sale-a-Bration items. 

 

 

  Here's another view of my card, I love this pup image! I could have stamped and colored it as this is one of the images in the stamp set, but decided to cut the image from the DSP that was already colored.  Easy-peasey!

 

 

  Here's another shot of the pup image. It makes me smile - so cute!  I cut it out and mounted it on the stamped panel with dimensionals.

 

 

 

  For the inside of the card, I didn't get my sentiment centered on the card when I stamped it, so added a thin strip of real red card stock to make it look like I meant to place it there. No one will ever know!

 

 

 

  Here is one last view of my birthday card.  For even more great birthday card ideas and inspiration, please be sure to hop on over to the Sisters in Stamping blog.

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

January 2021 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Let's Sale-a-Brate a New Year!

 

  Hi there and welcome to the January 2021 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing projects designed with the new Sale-a-Bration items that you can earn for FREE with a qualifying $50 (choose a Level 1 item) and $100 (choose a Level 2 item or two Level 1 items) purchase now through February 28th.  I decided to share a set of cards that I created using the Level 2 stamp set called A Touch of Ink.

 

A Touch of Ink photopolymer stamp set. SAB Level 2 selection, Item #155233, FREE with a qualifying $100 merchandise order

 

True Love DSP, Item #154281 $11.50

   I paired this great stamp set A Touch of Ink (get it for free with a qualifying $100 merchandise order) with the True Love DSP from the Jan-June catalog. I love the versatility of the black and white patterns!  I used one strip of DSP that was cut to 3-3/4" x 12" from a single pattern (flowers on one side, diagonal stripes on the other) which I then cut down to two 5" x 3-3/4" pieces and one 3-3/4" x 2" piece for these cards. I left two as-is (black and white), and colored the other - don't you love the versatility of this DSP?!

 

 And best of all, if you purchase all of the items listed in the above grid, you'll qualify to earn this Sale-a-Bration Level 2 A Touch of Ink stamp set for FREE!!

 

 

  For this card,  I colored the butterfly image with Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron stampin' blend markers. I left the DSP as is, and added a strip of ribbon from the Ornate Garden ribbon combo pack. It is actually Terra Cotta, but works with this card. The mat piece of card stock that is offset underneath the stamped panel was cut from cajun craze card stock.  I love how all of these shades of orange work so well together, without looking like a black and orange Halloween card.

 

 

  For this card, I used a sponge brayer and colored the DSP with pool party ink. It looks like a completely different piece of DSP, doesn't it?  And it works so well  as a background for my beautiful hummingbird.   I colored the bird image with bermuda bay, pool party, poppy parade and smoky slate stampin' blends. The white ribbon is from the Flowers for Every Season ribbon combo pack.  I have really loved using this wider white ribbon on so many projects.

 

 

  Here's a view of the flower card - I flipped the DSP over to reveal the bold black and white diagonal striped pattern. I think it works well with this image. The flower was colored with poppy parade, pumpkin pie and old olive stampin' blends. I finished the card with a piece of old olive ribbon from the Ornate Garden ribbon pack.

  So which card is your favorite? I love all of these images, so it's hard for me to pick a favorite. Next time I will use the solid image stamps in the set to color them to give a more artistic look on my project.  I hope I have inspired you with this card set. For even more Sale-a-Bration ideas and inspieation, please 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!!

Sunday Fun Day: A Touch of Ink SAB card

 

  Hello and happy Sunday Monday (sorry, I neglected to publish this post yesterday)!!!  Welcome back for Week 2 of our Sunday Fun Day projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.   This week we are featuring Sale-a-Bration productds that you can earn between now and the end of February with qualifying purchases of $50 (level 1) and $100 (level 2).  My card this week features the Sale-a-Bration Level 2 stamp set A Touch of Ink and the new Mossy Meadow braided linen trim from the January-June spring catalog (which I LOVE!).

 

 

  Thinking that the background is a new piece of  DSP? Actually, I created the background myself using some of the solid images from this stamp set. Pretty cool, right?  My ink colors include Pear Pizzazz and So Saffron. I colored the flower image with my Stampin' Blends in So Saffron and Mossy Meadow with a little bit of the Dark Pumpkin Pie in the centers of the flowers.

 

 

  The flower image and sentiment were stamped on a piece of whisper white card stock cut out using the largest oval die from the Stitched Shapes dies. I then colored the flower image with my Stampin' Blends in So Saffron and Mossy Meadow with a little bit of the Dark Pumpkin Pie in the centers of the flowers.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my thinnking of you card.  For even more fun Sale-a-Bration card ideas and insiration, please be sure to hop on over to the Sisters in Stamping blog.

Sunday Fun Day: Sweet Strawberry sneak peek birthday card

 

  Hello and Happy New Year!!! We have decided to mix things up over on the Sisters in Stamping blog, and will now be sharing Sunday Fun Day projects with you each week. We have had a lot of fun with our Fabulous Friday posts over the last 11 years, and will now be sharing our projects on Sundays going forward. I hope you'll be sure to check them out each week!  

 

 

 

  Our very first Sunday Fun Day theme is to share our favorite products from the upcoming 2021 January-June which will be debuting on Tuesday, January 5th. I chose to focus on the Sweet Strawberry bundle, which includes a great stamp set and coordinating builder punch. In addition, there is a DSP/stamp set bundle (it is a Sale-a-Bration free product selection with a qualifying $100 purchase) that coordinates beautifully.  I used one of the fun patterns for the background of my card.  My Mom turned 81 yesterday and this was her birthday card. 

 

 

  My birthday is in the spring, and my Mom always made me a strawberry shortcake because strawberries are in season in May... so this stamp set, punch and DSP just take me to a happy place from my childhood. I love the colors of the DSP and used them as a guide for the cardstock and inks that I used: granny apple green, pacific point and poppy parade.

 

 

  I used the Layering Ovals dies to cut out the scalloped oval piece from whisper white cardstock and stamped the sentiment first. Next I stamped the foliage image. On a separate piece of whisper white cardstock I stamped the strawberry (both the solid image and detail images were done using poppy parade ink) and cut out with my punch. I then stamped the solid leaves image with granny apple green ink and overstamped the detail using soft suede ink, then cut it out using the punch. I glued the leaves to the strawberry and then popped it up with a dimensional on the oval. 

 

  

  Here is one last view of my birthday card.  For even more fun January-June spring catalog card ideas and insiration, please be sure to hop on over to the Sisters in Stamping blog.

Fabulous Friday: Joy Fold Christmas card with a twist

  Hello and Happy Friday! As we approach the final week leading up to Christmas, I wanted to share one last Christmas card with you.  Our Fabulous Friday theme for this week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog is Fun Fold cards.  I came across a Joy Fold card on Pinterest that also incorporated a Z-Fold (see that pin here) and wanted to make a card just like it. Once again I had to pull out my Gnome for the Holidays stamp set along with the Snowflake Splendor DSP to create this card.

 

 

  Here you can see how the card opens up - it is both a Z-fold and a Joy Fold card. I love it!

 

 

  How stinkin' cute is this gnome? Don't you just want to reach out and give him a hug??  I don't know if you can see it, but I "colored" his beard and  mustache with a clear Wink of Stella glimmer brush.  Balmy Blue, Ivory, Night of Navy, Smoky Slate and Soft Suede stampin' blends were used to color the rest of him.

 

 

  For the inside of the card I grabbed the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Tag Buffet stamp set - I really think the font is so pretty and festive.

  

 

  Here is one last view of my Gnome Christmas card.  For even more fabulous fun fold card ideas and insiration, please be sure to hop on over to the Sisters in Stamping blog.

December 2020 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Holiday Happenings

 

  Hi there and welcome to the December 2020 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing Holiday Happenings-themed projects and I decided to make a gift set consisting of a gratitude journal, matching pen and chocolate favor featuring the Snowflake Splendor DSP. The patterns and colors in this designer paper are fantastic, I really love it and have used it on so many projects the last few weeks!

  Here is a photo of my gratitude journal and matching pen. This year has been such a train-wreck and I think staying positive and remembering all the blessings in our lives through a gratitude journal help to put things in perspective, don't you? And this brightly colored snowflake DSP can't help but put a smile on your face!  The notebook is a composition notebook - these are super inexpensive during the back-to-school sales and I always pick up a few to have on hand. They cover so easily and make nice gifts.

 

 

  Do you recognize the "Joy" here? I found it on a sticker sheet in the Wonders of the Season Memories & More pack in the Holiday catalog. It is trimmed in gold, but you can't really see it in this photo. I mounted it on a piece of pacific point card stock cut out with the Label Me Lovely punch.  The Highland Heather card stock strip banner was notched using the Banners Pick-a-Punch.

 

 

  I also covered the back and inside cover of the composition notebook with pacific point card stock and created a small pocket. I used another strip of the gorgeous DSP here also.

 

 

  And lastly, I added some DSP to my pen with Tear & Tape adhesive. I did curl/break the fibers of the DSP with a bone folder to help it curl around the pen.  I thought about inserting into a clear-barreled pen but love these ballpoint pens and the color works with the DSP!

 

 

 

  Here's a view of the chocolate holder - I was able to fit 4 of these yummy Ghirardelli dark chocolate squares inside and decorated it with a different pattern of the DSP from the Snowflake Splendor pack. Who doesn't love receiving chocolate, especially when packaged like this??

 

 

  This gives you a good view of the favor box - I left it open at the top but the ribbon keeps the chocolates from falling out and to access them you don't have to destroy the box.  I stamped a sentiment from the Tag Buffet stamp set with pacific point ink on a piece of Highland Heather card stock cut out using the Tailored Tag. Recognize the ribbon? It is from the Flowers for Every for Every season pack (yes, I've been using these ribbons a lot lately also!).

 

 

  Here is what the favor box looks like from above - you can see the chocolate squares tucked inside nice and pretty and no worries about them falling out since the ribbon will keep them inside.

 

 

 

   Here's one last look at this chocolate favor box. For even more Holiday Happenings 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: Quick & Easy Snowman Soup gift idea

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! I hope you have been enjoying my Countdown to Christmas projects so far this month (find them all here).  I am taking a break today to share this Quick & Easy gift idea that I designed as my Fabulous Friday project for the Sisters in Stamping blog.  This is my version of "homemade" Snowman Soup mix, packaged in a fun way using my stampin' stash.

 

 

  Have you ever heard of Snowman Soup? It's a fancy name for hot cocoa, made extra special with chocolate, crushed candy canes and mini marshmallows!  I pulled out one of my decorative pint size mason jars, and filled it with premade hot cocoa mix, dark chocolate chips, crushed candy canes and mini marshmallows. If you really wanted to make it special you could whip up a homemade batch of cocoa mix.  Who wouldn't love to get this gift?? 

 

 

 And to add my Stampin' Up! touch, I added my favorite Snowflake Splendor DSP to the lid and topped it with a snowman.  The Snowman Builder punch made it super easy - the hard part was gluing the tiny stick arms and carrot nose to the piece. Check out the "coal" eyes and "buttons" - can you guess what I did there?  I used a dark smoky slate stampin' blends marker and colored my rhinestone basic jewels. I love that stampin' blends can give you a variety of colors of rhinestones and pearls.  

 

 

  And since there is no stamp with the words "snowman soup", I pulled out my pacific point stampin' write marker and hand-lettered my tag. I used two of the ribbon options from the Flowers for Every Season pack to hang the tag and embellish the mason jar even more with a bow.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my Snowman Soup quick & easy gift.  For even more fabulous Christmas gift ideas and insiration, please be sure to hop on over to the Sisters in Stamping blog.

Countdown to Christmas - Day 10 Ornament Gift Card Holder

 

 * I hope you have been enjoying my tutorials! I have sadly reached my quota for emails on my mailchimp account until December 16th, so starting with this Day 10 tutorial I will only be sending these once a week. If you would like a specific one in the meantime and are a current subscriber, please reach out via email and I am happy to send it to you directly.  Thanks!

  Hello and Happy day 10 of my Countdown to Christmas! Today I am sharing a fun ornament gift card holder - it will look pretty hanging in your tree and then inside is a gift card! You can hide this gift in plain sight right on your tree!

 

  I love using dies to make easy pocket gift card holders like this one. Since every cut out is uniform, they will always line up perfectly. And I must say I am LOVING this Snowflake Splendor DSP. This pattern is really pretty and I like the pacific point card stock with it.

 

  After making my QE Christmas card yesterday (see if here), I had a pine tree punch piece left over. No need to waste it, I used it on this gift card holder.  It looks so pretty against the beautiful DSP.

 

 

  This is intended to be an ornament, but certainly is sized to easily fit in an envelope if you prefer to mail it or gift it that way.  The braided linen trim is not only the means to hang the ornament on your tree, but it also holds the card together. Here you can see the little pocket that will hold the gift card as well as a note for the recipient.

 

 

   Here is a better view of the card holder opened up, so you can see the pocket in full.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my ornament gift card holder.  Be on the lookout for an email with the link to the Project Sheet if you're a subscriber.  If not, be sure to sign up in the sidebar of this blog!

 

Thanks for visiting and happy stamping!
