Unfrogettable Stamping!

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.

 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!!

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.

Fabulous Friday: Color Challenge 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 again this week - all you need to do to enter is leave us a comment THERE (here is nice, too).  A winner will be drawn randomly on 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 created projects featuring the color combination shown above: whisper white, basic black, pineapple punch and real red for Fabulous Friday.  I chose to use the Flourishing Phrases and Buffalo Check stamp sets for my card.  I love how the yellow flower just pops off the black checked background!

 

 

  Here's another angle of the card.  This one turned out exactly like I pictured it in my mind - I love when that happens! 

 

 

  I fussy-cut the flower and added a red rhinestone to the center for a pop of color.   And I am loving the braided linen trim - here you can see that I wrapped it around the panel three times and then just tied a simple knot.  

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the sentiment - I stamped it on little strip of whisper white card stock and then notched out one side and trimmed off the other end and added it to the bottom of the panel.  Super simple!

 

 

  And not forgetting the inside of the card, I used the leaf image and stamped it along the inside edge of the whisper white panel that I glued to the card base.

 

 

  Here is one more look at my card.  For even more inspiration and ideas with this color combination 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: 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.

Fabulous Friday: Summer Flowers

 

  Hello and Happy Friday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are featuring flowers in our Fabulous Friday card designs.  I chose to use the Beautiful Friendship stamp set because I love the look of these flowers.  

 

  Here is another view of my card - I stamped the flowers on a die-cut from the Stitched Nested Labels collection and used the Buffalo Check background stamp for the seaside spray card stock mat below.  Lastly, I finished the card off with a bit of the ribbon from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon combo pack.

 

  My summer flowers are all in full bloom at my home and I wanted to recreate that look on my card - I chose Flirty Flamingo, Seaside Spray (new In Color), Granny Apple Green and Highland Heather inks for the flower images and Night of Navy for the sentiment.  Here in this close-up photo you can see that I fussy cut the flower (is this a knock-out rose?) and popped it up on top of the others to add some dimension.  I also added Wink of Stella to the centers of the flowers but my camera didn't capture it very well.  

 

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

August 2019 Blog Hop - Sneak Peek Holiday 2019 Catalog!

 

  Hi there and welcome to the August 2019 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing sneak peek products from the upcoming Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.  By now many of my regular stampers should have received their catalogs in the mail - please let me know if you haven't. 

 

 

  What is your favorite product suite?  I have a few, but the Wrapped in Plaid is pretty high on my list.  I just love the plaid DSP and the gold foil detail in the papers is really gorgeous.  The font of the sentiments in the Perfectly Plaid stamp set are fantastic, too!!  And who doesn't love a punch that perfectly cuts out multiple images from a stamp set - these trees can be used for so much more than holiday cards.  I also added a strip of the beautiful diagonal striped 3/8" cherry cobbler ribbon from the Night Before Christmas product suite and a few Holiday Rhinestones.  

 

  Here is a side-view of the stamped and layered ovals, which were die-cut using the Layering Ovals thinlits. Each layer is popped up with stampin' dimensionals and I slid the ribbon between the oval layers.  And check out the rhinestones, aren't they awesome?  They come in a pack of 140 in 3 sizes (3mm, 4mm and 5mm) and in five different colors: cherry cobbler, coastal cabana, night of navy, pumpkin pie and shaded spruce.  

 

 

   Here is how I stamped the inside of the card - the little pinecones in the corner are also in this set as is the Christmas sentiment.

 

 

 

  Here is one more view of my Holiday Catalog sneak peek Christmas card. For even more Holiday Catalog inspiration and ideas, be sure to check out the rest of the projects on the Hop by using the links below.

Fabulous Friday: Embossing Paste sympathy card

 

  Hello and Happy Friday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog Karla asked us to design a card featuring Embossing Paste.  I thought I had white embossing paste that was current but found out too late that I only had the retired silver paste from a few years ago.  You could mimic this look by mixing frost white shimmer paint and smoky slate ink into the white embossing paste.  I used it with the Pattern Party decorative mask and think it adds great texture to the mint macaron cardstock.  Added bonus - it looks like lattice.  One word of advice after spreading the paste - carefully peel up the mask and then immediately wash it with warm soapy water.  You'll want to set the card stock aside to let it completely dry, also.

 

 

  Here in this close-up photo you can see the texture a little better.  I stamped the flower image from the Healing Hugs stamp set with real red ink on a separate piece of card stock, fussy-cut it and mounted it with stampin' dimensionals on top of the leaves that had been stamped on the panel with mossy meadow ink.  I also added some braided linen trim to the card for added texture.  

 

 

  I kept it simple on the inside of the card, stamping a foliage image in the bottom corner and a sympathy sentiment from the Flourshing Phrases stamp set in the center using Mossy Meadow ink.

 

 

  Here is another look at my card.  For even more fabulous embossing paste ideas please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created this week.
