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 Cappuccino-inspired Christmas Rose card

 

Hello and Happy Friday!

 

 

  Did you know that today is National Cappuccino Day? In honor of that, I asked my fellow designers over on the Sisters in Stamping blog to create Fabulous Friday projects inspired by  Cappuccino.  

 

 

  Here is my card, inspired by the colors of Cappuccino: crumb cake (rose), early espresso (detail outline and pine cones), soft suede (leaves and foliage) and very vanilla.  My intention was for this to look like those old sepia-tinted photos and I think I pulled it off just like I saw it in my head.  I kept the embellishment of this card super simple with just a knotted strip of the braided linen thread... it's definitely my go-to ribbon trim these days.

 

 

  Do you recognize the stamp set I used?  It's the brand new Christmas Rose set that is part of the Christmastime is Here suite of products that are available for a limited time - see all of the product offerings HERE in my Stampin' Up! store.

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the berries - I decided to "color" them using the new Shimmery Crystal Effects found in the Holiday catalog. It adds a little bit of depth and dimension to the berries and a whole lot of shimmer and sparkle. Sadly, that is very hard to capture in a photograph. You'll just have to trust me that this is a cool look.

 

 

 

  I wanted to keep the card simple inside, so I stamped the detail outline image in the two corners with early espresso ink. This way I can make this card whatever I want since there is also no sentiment on the front.

 

 

 

  Here is one more look at my Cappuccino-inspired 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.

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.

October 2019 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop - Welcome Fall, Y'all

 

  Hi there and welcome to the October 2019 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing Fall cards. Here in Central Virginia the leaves are just starting to turn - I hear that since we've been in a drought the last few months the colors are not supposed to be as pretty.  So I decided to use the Rooted in Nature stamp set and the thumping technique with several stampin' write markers to create my own beautiful fall tree.

 

 

  Here is another view of my project.  I used cajun craze, crushed curry and old olive ink pads to create my stamped leaf background on very vanilla card stock and sponged the edges with crumb cake ink.  The sentiment and tree trunk are done with early espresso ink.  To color the tree, I first inked the stamp with a crushed curry ink pad then "thumped" various markers on the leaf area of the stamp (starting with my lightest color and working to the darkest) using pumpkin pie, cajun craze, old olive, garden green, merry merlot and early espresso markers.  I also used the earl espresso marker to color the trunk and branches.  Then I huffed on it to moisten the ink to allow them to blend and then stamped.  Easy-peasey and that is how you achieve this look. 

 

  Here is a close-up of the bow - I used the braided linen trim to make it and attached it to the strip of trim using a mini glue dot.  I love the texture that it adds to the card.

 

 

   Here's a view of the inside of the card- I left it super simple with an old olive stamped image in the bottom corner and sponged edges with crumb cake ink.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my card. For even more Fall-inspired card ideas, be sure to check out the rest of the projects on the Hop by using the links below.

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: Memories and More card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday Sunday!  Well, it happened again... time got away from me this week.  Over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing cards created with the Memories & More card packs from Stampin' Up!  I used the Happiness Blooms kit (that you can now find on the Clearance Rack, but only while supplies last!) for my super quick and easy card this week. 

 

 

  If you haven't purchased one of these card packs yet they are not only perfect for scrapbooking, but also for cardmaking in a flash!  This pack is one of two currently available on the Clearance Rack right now - it's a great way to buy one to try when they are priced at 60% off.  Here is what is included in the kits:

• 50 total double-sided cards (2 each of 25 designs) in 3" x 4" and 4" x 6" sizes
• 6 single-sided 4" x 6" specialty cards
• 4 sticker sheets (2 each of 2 designs)

This Happiness Blooms kit coordinates with several of the 2018-2020 In Colors - Call Me Clover, Lovely Lipstick and Pineapple Punch, along with Calypso Coral, Night of Navy and whisper white.  

 

 

   Here is another view of my card where you can see that there is no stamping at all... I just cut down one of the 4" x 6" cards and added a few of the stickers along with several layers of card stock.  Easy-peasey - took me about 5 minutes to put it together (gotta love that!).

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the sentiment panel (it is part of the card design) - I just added a little sticker in the corner.  Super easy!

 

 

  Here is one more look at my quick and easy card.  For even more Memories & More 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.
