Unfrogettable Stamping!

Fabulous Friday: May Flowers birthday card featuring the retiring Beautiful Day stamp set

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! Today we are featuring projects with May flowers (from all the April showers) for Fabulous Friday over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  What is your favorite floral stamp set? 

 

 

 

  I used two Last-Chance products with my card today - the awesome Beautiful Day stamp set and Layered Leaves 3D embossing folder.  My go-to floral set for a while now has been this Beautiful Day set and I have to give it some love one last time before it retires.  I also will miss this embossing folder as well since it adds such great texture to any card.

 

 

   My color palette for this card is daffodil delight, flirty flamingo, old olive and whisper white.  I had some extra scalloped rectangle dies that I cut out last week (did you see my piggy card?) and decided to use one for this card, popping up the sentiment and fussy cut flower on top.  I also used some of the daffodil delight ruched ribbon from the Jan-June catalog for some added texture in addition to the textured old olive card stock.

 

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the colored image - I just received my Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends so decided to use them on the flower. I used the Old Olive and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends as well. I still haven't mastered using these, but I am happy with the way this card turned out, what do you think?

 

 

 

  Here is a view of the inside of the card. I used a portion of the large flower image inked with flirty flamingo and the other sentiment from the stamp set to make this a birthday card.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my card. For more floral card ideas and inspiration, please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created this week. 

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous and safe holiday weekend!

Fabulous Friday: Watercolored Quick & Easy Happy Piggy card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! Today we are featuring watercolored projects for Fabulous Friday over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  What is your favorite way to watercolor? Mine is definitely using Aqua Painters and the ink from my stamp pads!  I am not a big fan of coloring and watercoloring this way makes it quick and easy!

 

 

 

 

  I used two Last-Chance products with my card today - the super-adorable This Little Piggy stamp set and the Magnolia Lane DSP. I love how the Petal Pink in the DSP matches my little piggy.  Even though the DSP designs are super elegant and classy, the striped pattern works well with the more casual feel of the piggy stamp set.  

 

 

 

   My color palette for this card is mossy meadow, petal pink and whisper white, all taken from the DSP.  I did add just a tiny bit of Highland Heather with the flower.  

 

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the colored image - I love that you don't necessarily have to stay in the lines when watercoloring!  Also, check out that cute little champagne rhinestone in the center of the flower - it works perfectly with the petal pink.  The stamped panel was cut out using one of the Scalloped Rectangle dies from the Stitched So Sweetly dies set.  I also used a piece of the braided burlap trim from the Jan-Jun catalog because I think it adds nice texture to the card.

 

 

  Here is a view of the inside of the card. I used a strip of the same DSP from the front of the card, but the reverse pattern. It's really sweet with the tiny flowers.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my card. For more watercolored ideas and inspiration, please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created this week. 

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous weekend!

May 2020 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Going, Going, Gone

 

  Hi there and welcome to the May 2020 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing projects that celebrate the Last Chance Products list.  This time of year is always bittersweet - so sad to see some of my favorites leaving but excited about the new product that's coming soon.  Today's projects feature two retiring products - the Abstract Impressions stamp set and See a Silhouette DSP. Both are ON SALE now through June 3rd as supplies are available.  I used the whisper white note card and envelope set along with several punches and a variety of ink pads and card stock (taken from the color palette of the DSP) to create these cards and I love how they turned out!

 

 

 

 

  It is always hard to say good-bye and I hope I have given you a reason to check these two products out before they're gone. What a bonus that they're both on sale!!  

 

 

 

  Here's a better view of half of the cards.  I kept them super simple, which is perfect for note cards.  This way the DSP really gets to be the star of the show!

 

 

 

  And here are the remaining three note cards. I can't express how much I am in love with this DSP.  And this stamp set is great - lots of fabulous floral images that are two-step so super fun to create layering of color and easy to do since they are photopolymer.  There are some great sentiments in this set as well with a fun font that almost looks hand-written.  I hope you'll consider purchasing them if you don't already have them in your collection!

 

  For even more Last Chance product 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: First Frost Mother's Day card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! Today we are featuring Mother's Day cards for our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog since it is coming up this weekend.  What are your go-to stamp sets for this kind of card? For me, I always reach for my floral stamp sets.  

 

 

  I just love how this card turned out! I chose to use the soon-to-be-retiring stamp set called First Frost. I really haven't used this one much and now I wish I had!  It was a set in the Holiday catalog a few years ago and it is just lovely.

 

 

   My color palette for this card is flirty flamingo, old olive, soft suede and whisper white. I also used the retiring braided linen trim which I LOVE!  I kept the card layout super clean and simple and I think my Mom is going to love it.

 

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the flower images at the bottom of the stamped panel.  I stamped the foliage and a few of the flowers (both the small and the large) and then cut out a few, too, to layer on top.  The images in the First Frost stamp set are the Distinktive ones so they appear textured, which is so cool. 

 

 

 

  I wanted to add a banner for the sentiment from the Strong & Beautiful stamp set across the top of the stamped panel but it was just a little too plain. So I looped some of the braided linen trim and made a fun little bow to add on top.  I think it adds great texture to the card and works well with the color palette.

 

 

 

  Here is a view of the inside of the card. I used another great sentiment from the Strong & Beautiful stamp set (do you remember this from the Occasions catalog a few years ago?).  I also added some foliage and the smaller flower to the lower left corner.

 

 

 

  Here is one last view of my card. Please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created this week for even more Mother's Day card ideas and inspiration. 

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous weekend!

Fabulous Friday: Saying goodbye to some favorite product

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! Today we are featuring our favorite Last-Chance products in our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog. Saying goodbye to favorite products is never easy and this week I chose several - can you guess which ones I used? (Hint, scroll down to see the list and then click the links to hop over to my Stampin' Up! store if you want to purchase).

 

 

  I just love how this card turned out - it's super clean and simple but I love the color palette: crumb cake, lovely lipstick (outgoing In Color), old olive and whisper white.  There are so many flowers in bloom here in Central Virginia so I had to use a flower on my card.  Keep scrollling to see the full list of retiring product on this card.

 

 

 

Flourishing Phrases Cling-Mount Stamp Set - 151407

Price: $37.00

Crackle Paint Cling Stamp Set - 148752

Price: $16.00

Pretty Label Punch - 143715

Price: $18.00

5/8” Burlap Ribbon - 141487

Price: $4.90

Lovely Lipstick Classic Stampin’ Pad - 147140

Price: $7.50

Lovely Lipstick 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock - 146970

Price: $8.75

 

 

  So did you guess correctly?  I love layering a background stamp with images and this Crackle Paint stamp is so fun. The Flower image and sentiment are from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set, which I have used a lot over the years... please visit these links below to see my past projects with it.

 

Decorative Corner Card

Color Challenge Card

Rhinestone Card

Black Friday Inspired Card

Sympathy Card

 

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the flower image - you can see a little bit of the crackle image through the petals of the flower. This lovely lipstick color is beautiful when paired with old olive!  I added a champagne rhinestone to the center - so happy that these are being carried over into the new Annual Catalog!

 

 

  Here is how I created the sentiment panel - I first stamped the words on a scrap of whisper white card stock then cut it out using the Pretty label punch.  I then used that same punch to cut a mat from the lovely lipstick layer that is below the stamped panel (great for taking off some weight from a card being mailed and a great way to make your card stock go further).  I cut it in half lengthwise, then glued it to the back of the sentiment piece so just a little bit of the color shows.  It's a great way to separate it from the background panel.  I popped this up on top of a piece of burlap ribbon that was notched at both ends using some stampin' dimensionals.

 

 

  Here is a view of the inside of the card. I stamped off with both the old olive and lovely lipstick inks before stamping the piece so the colors would be a little lighter. I even like that the imge isn't solid.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my card. Please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created this week for even more Last-Chance Product ideas and inspiration.

Fabulous Friday: Masculine Card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! Today the theme for our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog is masculine cards. These are always so hard for me because I just love flowers, ribbon and bling - three things that are never on these types of cards.  I decided to use a few of my retiring products since I won't be able to feature them much longer... did you figure out which 3 I used?

 

  This card features a deer image from Dashing Deer which is a Christmas set (love that versatility!) as well the foliage image from Country Road. I used the 1" circle punch with a post-it note to create my mask for the moon.  I will miss all of these procucts!!

 

 

 

 
  It has been a while since I have done a sponged silhouette card and I forgot how much I love these. I used a torn sheet of paper to sponge the darker half of the panel, which had been cut out with one of the the Stitched Nested Labels dies, which is thankfully not retiring. I cut the sentiment out using the Classic Label punch, also not retiring.  The background was created using the Birch stamp - I just love large background stamps and this one will also be available in the new annual catalog. My color palette for this card includes night of navy, soft suede and whisper white card stock as well as Jet Black StazOn, crumb cake, early espresso, night of navy, so saffron and soft suede inks.

 

 

 

  This view shows you how I sponged the panel as well as the background piece - my best advice for sponging is to start lightly. You can always add more ink, but cannot take it away!  The "moon" was too white when I took the mask off so I went over it lightly with so saffron ink.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my card. Please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created this week for even more masculine card ideas and inspiration.

Fabulous Friday: Save some money by shopping the Clearance Rack!

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! Today we are sharing projects created with products that are currently available on the Clearance Rack. If you're looking to make your dollar go further, this is the best place to find bargains on recently retired product!!  But, act fast because these products aren't available for long.  This week I used the Everything is Rosy Product Medley for my Fabulous Friday project over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  

 

 

  As you can see from the photo above, this bundle is jam-packed with some awesome products that all coordinate beautifully. The original price tag on this bundle was $80.00 but can now be purchased for just $44.00!!  But if you want it, order soon because once it is sold out it will be gone for good.  Here is what you get:

Medley includes these exclusive products:
* Everything Is Rosy Photopolymer Stamp Set—18 stamps; suggested blocks: a, b, c
* Everything Is Rosy Dies—10 dies; largest die 2-7/8" x 1" (7.3 x 2.5 cm)
* 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Stack—48 sheets; 8 each of 6 double-sided designs
* 6" x 6" rose gold foil paper—8 sheets
* Printed die cuts—2 sheets
* Rose gold die cuts—4 sheets; 2 each of 2 designs
* Rose gold adhesive backed mirror embellishments—60 embellishments; 1/4" (6.4 mm)
* Melon Mambo 1/4" (6.4 mm) Ruched Ribbon—10 yards (9.1 m)
* Night of Navy/Rose Gold 3/8" (1 cm) Metallic –Edge Ribbon—10 yards (9.1 m)
* Rose Gold Shimmer Paint—1/2 oz. (15 ml)

 

 

  For my three cards today I used a single piece of the 6" x 6" DSP that came in this bundle and cut it as shown in the graphic above. I have created a 6x6 OSW worksheet that shows you how to make 14 cards easily from 4 pieces of 6x6 DSP (or 1 full sheet of 12x12 if you cut it in fourths) and I'll be sharing that over the next few days so be sure to check back!

 

 

 

  This card uses the 5-1/4" x 2" Piece A from the DSP. I also used a strip of the melon mambo ruched ribbon (love it!) along with a flower image from the die-cut sheet that I popped up on a piece of night of navy card stock that I cut with the Label Me Lovely punch from the Spring Catalog.  I also added a smaller die-cut on the inside of the card.  The ink used for the sentiment is night of navy as well as the card base.

 

 

 

  This card uses the 4" x 4" Piece B of DSP that I cut diagonally in half.  In addition, I was able to use the tiny scrap as a little flag on the inside of my card.  The floral piece is a die-cut from the bundle and the sentiment is from the stamp set that is included. I used night of navy ink and card stock for my card base.  Not sure if you can see it, but the dark center of the largest flower is a little rose gold metallic embellishment that I added.  It really brings out the rose gold foil elements in the DSP.

 

 

 

  Here is the last card - I used the 4" x 2" Piece C of the DSP and kept it very clean and simple. The card base is melon mambo and the inside is blank so there's lots of room to write a note to your loved one. Check out the gorgeous night of navy ribbon edged with rose gold trim. It coordinates beautifully with the rose gold die-cut element that I stamped the sentiment on with night of navy ink.

 

  I hope you enjoyed my projects today created with the Everything is Rosy Product Medley that is currently in the Clearance Rack online.  Don't forget that if you want to order this you had better do so quickly because it will be gone soon.  Click HERE to purchase in my Stampin' Up! store and don't forget to use the current Host Code (see below).

 

  Please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created this week for even more ideas and inspiration for products in the Clearance Rack. 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous weekend!

April 2020 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Spring Has Sprung

  Hi there and welcome to the April 2020 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing projects that celebrate Spring!  Does it feel like Spring where you are? It definitely looks and feels like it here in Central Virginia... the grass is green, the trees are full of green leaves, the birds are singing and flowers are blooming everywhere so naturally we are seeing lots of butterflies and bees.   I couldn't decide on a color palette so made two samples - which do you like better?

 

 

  For my project this month I chose to use the Positive Thoughts stamp set from the Spring catalog.  This is the first time that I have used it and really love the images in this set.

 

 

  This was the first version that I made - it features the color combination of crushed curry, gorgeous grape, melon mambo and old olive.  The colors are bright and make me happy but are they more summer-y?

 

 

  And here is version number two featuring the color combination of daffodil delight, flirty flamingo, granny apple green and grapefruit grove. These more pastel-like colors do remind me of spring.

  For even more Spring 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: Happy Easter!

 

  Hello and Happy Good Friday! Today we are sharing Easter creations with you for Fabulous Friday over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  With all of the flowers blooming right now I wanted to make a floral Easter card and chose to use the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set which I haven't used in a while.

 

 

  Here is the beautiful Magnolia Lane product suite that this stamp set is from - it is my favorite from the Annual catalog.  I have used this suite in so many projects... click below to visit each:

Card and gift set

National Strawberry Shortcake Day inspired card

Corner Fold thank you card

   Fun Fold card

Thinking of You slider card

Back-to-School project

Candy Favor

 

 

  Here is another view of the card so you can see it from a different perspective.

 

 

 

 I used my Stampin' Blends to color the flower image - I am not very experienced with these but think it turned out pretty.  These are great for blending!

 

 

  From this view you can see the pretty polka dot tulle that I used as well as the sentiment that was cut out with a 1-1/2" circle punch.

 

 

 

  Here is one last view of my card - I kept it very clean and simple and the inside is blank so there's lots of room to write a note to your loved one. Please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what my fellow designers created this week for even more Easter ideas and inspiration.  I hope you and your loved ones have a joyous Easter holiday and stay healthy and safe during these trying times.

Fabulous Friday: Inspiring Iris sympathy card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday! Today we were challenged with creating sympathy cards for Fabulous Friday over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  With all of the flowers blooming outside I wanted to make a floral card and chose to use the Inspiring Iris stamp set.

 

  This stamp set is great - you can stamp the detail and color them in with the solid image stamps (as I did in my card), or color them with an aqua painter, stampin' blends, stampin' markers or even watercolor pencils.  My favorite irises are the purple ones, what about you?

 

 

  Here is another view of the card so you can see the texture that was added to the Gorgeous Grape card stock. Oooops, didn't realize I had picked a retired folder (Stylish Scroll) - so sorry!  But really, any embossing folder works!  I had cut some extra nested stitched labels earlier and used a larger one that would fit the iris image as well as have room for the sentiment below. I wrapped some linen thread around the panel several times and tied it off with a knot. I love the texture that this trim adds to a card!

 

 

  From this angle you can really see the texture of the card stock. Speaking of texture, did you know that Stampin' Up! was able to figure out a way to get the illusion of texture in their stamps? Check out the Garden Green foliage and Highland Heather iris flowers - doesn't it look like there is texture in the coloring? I really love two-step stamping, it makes coloring detail images very quick and easy which is definitely my kind of stamping!

 

 

 

  Here is one last view of my card - I kept it very clean and simple and the inside is blank so there's lots of room to write a note to your loved one. Due to family medical issues my fellow Sisters in Stamping designers are taking the week off. I hope you enjoyed my project and got some inspiration to make a few of your own cards this weekend.
