Unfrogettable Stamping!

Sunday Fun Day: Summer Fun at the Beach Sea Turtle birthday card

 

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing cards celebrating Summer Fun. What better way to celebrate summer than at the beach?!?  It is definitely my happy place and I intend to spend retirement near the ocean!!  My Mom loved sea turtles and I purchased this set in honor of her. I also have a co-worker who loves sea turtles, so this is going to be his birthday card come September. For that reason I had to keep it pretty simple with some added texture since that is how I like to make masculine cards. I love the way this one turned out and can't wait to use this set more!!

 

  For my project today, I used the Sea Turtles stamp set - this one is cool because on one side of the photopolymer stamp you have the detail. Flip it over and you have a solid image to fill in color!  I also added some blended color to the image panel using the small blending brushes. Lastly, I added some fun texture with the Natural 1/4" wavy trim. This is currently available, sorry, but it was the perfect nautical accent for this card.  I am hoping that SU! will get more in stock soon!  To place an online order or check out the products available from the 2023-2024 Annual catalog, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code CV2EH9EV* with your online order at checkout through July 30th). 

  Don't forget that for the month of July you'll qualify for a $5 Bonus Days coupon with every $50 in merchandise ordered, which are redeemable in August! Read more about that below in the Promotions section.  

 

 

  Here is another view of my card. I tried really hard to give the illusion of motion in the water and achieved this using a combination of the bubbles stamp (both the detailed and solid sides), the little ripple-y wave image and my blending brushes.  I stamped and cut out the little turtle and added a birthday sentiment from the Go To Greetings set.   

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the turtle. I found it was easier to ink the detail side first using Pretty Peacock, which I stamped off once, and then added Gray Granite ink on the legs and head.  Once that was stamped, I cleaned the stamp and flipped it over and used Pool Party ink on the solid side. I did stamp off once for a lighter color.  I like how it turned out!!  For the water I used Pool Party ink and a small blending brush to add color to the top 2/3 of the basic white card stock panel. I then came in with Crumb Cake and a small blending brush to add the sand at the bottom, angling it for the waves.  Once I had my color on, I then stamped the bubbles with Pool Party ink and stamped again and again until there was no color left. I then cleaned it and flipped it over and added more pool party color all over with the solid side. I added more color toward the top with a small blending brush and Pretty Peacock ink. I then went back over it with the ripple-y wave image and Pool Party ink. This was a lot of layering of color until I got the look I wanted. The Atlantic ocean where we go to the beach is this pretty greenish-blue color and I think the combination of Pool Party and Pretty Peacock achieved it really well.

 

  For the inside of the card, I sponged more of the Pool Party ink in the lower left corner and added some Pretty Peacock along the corner. I stamped the larger starfish image with Pretty Peacock ink directly on the basic white card stock, then added a cut-out sand dollar (Crumb Cake stamped off once) and smaller star fish (Pool Party stamped off once and over stamped with Pool Party) for a little added fun on the inside of the card.

 

 

  And here one last view of my card. I hope I have  inspired you to try the blending brushes to create a water/beach scene.  For even more summer fun card ideas and inspiration, be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week. Happy stamping!!

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

Sunday Fun Day: CASE'ing a blast from the past project

 

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are CASE'ing a past project that we shared. I decided to recreate a sponged sympathy card from a few years ago (see below for more about that project). I really like how this one turned out and plan to make more to have on hand as sadly I am needing these kinds of cards more often the older I get.

 

 

  I made this sponged sympathy card back in September, 2017 (see that post here). I can hardly believe it was almost 6 years ago!!  I loved the sponged oval and black silhouette image and decided to recreate this card using current product. This card featured a color combination of Pool Party and Island Indigo (now retired) as well as the retired Layering Ovals dies (to create my template for sponging), Wild About Flowers and Thoughts & Prayers stamp sets.

 

  For my project today, I used the Quiet Meadow stamp set and coordinating Meadows dies. To create my template for the blended color, I used one of the smaller dies from the Countryside Corners die set. I added the color using the small blending brushes and embellished with a few rhinestone basic jewels. Thank goodness these are still around, I love them!  To place an online order or check out the products available from the 2023-2024 Annual catalog, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code CV2EH9EV* with your online order at checkout through July 30th). 

  Beginning on July 6th, you'll qualify for a $5 Bonus Days coupon with every $50 in merchandise ordered, which are redeemable in August! Read more about that below in the Promotions section.  

 

  Here are close-up views of my card. In my previous post I used Island Indigo with Pool Party. Since that color has retired, I opted for Pretty Peacock, which really brings out the green undertones in the Pool Party ink and card stock!  Rather than stamping the black flower image, I die cut the various florals from the Meadows dies set. I stamped the card with the Thinking of You sentiment from the Quiet Meadows stamp set using Pretty Peacock ink. That matches perfectly with the Pretty Peacock card stock mat on the card front.   

 

  For the inside of the card, I stamped the floral image from the Quiet Meadows stamp set with Pool Party ink and the Heartfelt sentiment using Pretty Peacock ink. I love how these two colors pair beautifully together!

 

  I went ahead and die-cut a bunch of different florals from the Meadows dies set and created two more cards. The second card features a color combination of Fresh Freesia with Blackberry Bliss. The third card color combo is Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushel. Which is your favorite?

 

  And here is a photo of all three cards together. I hope I have  inspired you to dig out an old card that you made and freshen it up with some new product!  For even more card ideas and inspiration, be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week. Happy stamping and Happy Fourth of July to all my U.S. readers!!

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

Sunday Fun Day: Easy gift idea using Bright and Beautiful DSP

 

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are featuring DSP in our projects since the June DSP sale is wrapping up on Friday. Here's your chance to purchase some of the DSP items on your wish list at a discount!!  I decided to alter a mini notebook and pen set that I got from my sister Cindy (thanks, Sis!).  I love how it turned out and think I'll make more for a craft show in the fall.

 

 

  For my project today, I used the Bright and Beautiful DSP (ON SALE during June!!) which features many of the new and returning colors, along with the Hope You Know stamp set, Double Oval punch and Wavy trim (currently on back order).  To place an online order or check out the new products available from the 2023-2024 Annual catalog, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code CV2EH9EV* with your online order at checkout through June 30th).  

 

 

  Here is another view of the notebook and pen. I love how easily this came together! The notebook was 6" in length so I only had to cut the DSP once (this pack is 6" x 6") to make it 6" x 4" for the cover. I used a different pattern from the pack for my pen. The notebook already had the light blue border, so I used the Wavy trim to cover the seam. The bottom scallop oval on the embellishment was cut from the new Lolly Lemon CS and the sentiment is from the Hope You Know set.

 

 

  Here you can see the inside of the notebook. I wrapped the Wavy trim around and secured it first with strong packing tape since it frays easily. I covered that up with another piece of DSP from the pack. These colors are so fun, right?!  For the first page, I stamped another sentiment from the Hope You Know set and matted it with a piece of Berry Burst CS.

 

 

  And here is one last view of my notebook set. I hope you are inspired to make a project with DSP this week!  For even more DSP ideas and inspiration, be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week. Happy stamping!!

Sunday Fun Day: Red White and Blue Sweet Songbird card

 

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are featuring the color palette of red, white & blue as our theme, which is just in time for the upcoming mid-summer holiday on the 4th of July.  I don't have any patriotic stamp sets that are current, so created a whimsical birthday card using the Sweet Songbirds stamp set. And isn't our Independence Day celebration just a big birthday party for America after all?!?

 

  For my project today, I used the Sweet Songbird stamp set along with the coordinating Songbird builder punch; new Countryside Corners die set and Glorious Gingham DSP (which is ON SALE during June!!).  The colors used will be listed below.  To place an online order or check out the new products available from the 2023-2024 Annual catalog, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code CV2EH9EV* with your online order at checkout through June 30th).  

 

 

  Here is another view of my card - for my red I used the vibrant Poppy Parade from the Brights collection and the blue is Blueberry Bushel from the Regals collection. Additionally, I used Early Espresso ink for the tree branch, Pecan Pie ink for the notes and birdie feet and a tiny piece of Daffodil Delight card stock from the Brights collection for the beak. 

 

 

  Here is a closer look at the birdie, assembled from various pieces from the Songbird builder punch. I love how easily these come together when the punch coordinates with the stamp set!

 

 

  Here is what the card looks like when opened up... I added a small strip of the DSP to the left side of the inside panel and stamped another little birdie inside.

 

 

  And here is one last view of my card. I hope you are inspired to make some red, white & blue cards this week!  For even more card ideas and inspiration, be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week. Happy stamping!!

June 2023 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Sending Bright & Beautiful Smiles sketch challenge card

 

  Hello and thank you for stopping by during this month's blog hop! We were tasked with creating cards this month using the card sketch above. I thought this was a good opportunity to showcase the fun new Bright & Beautiful DSP (it's ON SALE this month!) since it features so many of the new/returning colors! I paired it with the Sending Smiles stamp set and created a card to send to my daughter Kelsey who is currently living and working in South Korea.

 

 

  Above are images of the products used with today's project. To place an online order or check out the new products available from the 2023-2024 Annual catalog, please click on any image above to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code CV2EH9EV* with your online order at checkout through June 30th).  

 

  Here is another view of my card.  I must say I really love this new Azure Afternoon used for the base card. It is such a pretty blue!  These new and returning colors really work well together, don't you think?

 

 

 

  Here you can see that I popped up the flower image on the stamped panel. I used Fresh Freesia and Lemon Lolly inks to color it and then fussy cut it (I haven't purchased the coordinating die set yet). The word "Sending" was inked with Misty Moonlight ink and the Smiles sentiment was inked using Azure Afternoon. These were colors that I pulled directly from the stars in the DSP. 

 

 

  I love making the inside of the card just as interesting as the outside, so here I added a strip of the striped DSP at the top and a flower in the lower left corner that was inked with Lemon Lime Twist, Azure Afternoon and Fresh Freesia.  I also added a sentiment along the bottom that I inked with Misty Moonlight. 

 

 

  Here is one more view of my card. I like how this sketch allows you to showcase three different patterns of DSP. Since the DSP packs have patterns and colors that coordinate beautifully together, Stampin' Up! makes it super easy to mix and match. This is also a great sketch for using up scraps.  Why not take advantage of the June DSP sale and pick up some for yourself? 

  For more sketch challenge card inspiration, be sure to follow along on the blog hop using the links below. 

Thanks for visiting and happy stamping!!

Sunday Fun Day: Blueberry Gingham Beautiful Balloons birthday card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are featuring birthday cards as our theme.  I created a bright and cheerful card perfect for anyone on your list, because who doesn't love balloons and streamers?!?!?

 

 

  I used the new Beautiful Balloons stamp set along with the fun Glorious Gingham DSP. The color palette includes Blueberry Bushel, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green along with Basic White. To place an online order or check out the new products available from the 2023-2024 Annual catalog, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code UAJXWBSR* with your online order at checkout through May 30th).  

 

 

  Here is another view of my card - I think this color combination is great for a summer birthday.  The gingham background DSP is a fun pattern and this card works for kids and adults!! 

 

 

  Here is what the card looks like when opened up... I stamped the larger balloon image with Granny Apple Green ink (after stamping off once to make the ink lighter) and added the sentiment with Blueberry Bushel ink. I then added some confetti/sprinkle images all around that were inked with Daffodil Delight. Lastly, I added a skinny strip of the DSP (using the reverse design) to complete the card.   

 

 

  And here is one last view of my card. I hope you are inspired to make some birthday cards!  These are cards you need year-round, so it's always a good idea to have some on hand. For even more birthday card ideas and inspiration, be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week. Happy stamping!!

May 2023 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Returning Shades of Nature's Prints birthday card set

 

  Hello and thank you for stopping by during this month's blog hop! Check out this fun set of birthday cards I made featuring three of the returning colors - can you guess which ones they are?  I love the monochromatic look of these cards and the Nature's Prints stamp set has such beautiful images!! Please read on to find out more about this month's project.... 

 

 

  For the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop this month, we are featuring the returning colors. I don't know about you, but I am super excited for the return of these three: Blueberry Bushel, Misty Moonlight and Pretty Peacock! Did you guess correctly? These shades of blue/green are just so rich and beautiful and perfect for this monochromatic card layout when paired with basic white!! 

 

 

  I used the Nature's Prints stamp set along with the coordinating Natural Prints dies and Fern 3D embossing folder. It's so easy to die cut images and add texture using the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine. To place an online order or check out the new products available from the 2023-2024 Annual catalog, please click on any image above to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code UAJXWBSR* with your online order at checkout through May 30th).  

 

 

  This first card features the beautiful Blueberry Bushel ink and card stock. All three cards have the same basic layout with just a few minor differences. Each has a background panel of white card stock embossed with the Fern 3D folder, and each features a bouquet of various stamped images from the Nature's Prints stamp set along with a sentiment.  As you can see, I only added glue to the bottoms of the "stems" so that these images pop off the card and look more 3D.  I stamped each of the cards the same way on the inside, too, to add some interest.  I further embellished this card with some basic Rhinestone basic jewels because I love the added bling!  

 

 

  This next card features Misty Moonlight ink and card stock. This is such a soft blue, isn't it? Instead of adding any embellishments, I used a clear Wink of Stella glue pen to add some shimmer to the stamped images (sadly it is very difficult to photograph that shimmer).  The card stock leaves look a little different on this card because I had cut out the wreath die cut, but then cut it up into pieces to tuck into the bouquet. 

 

 

  And here is my third card featuring the Pretty Peacock ink and card stock. For this card I embellished with the Iridescent Pearls basic jewels.  This color is so beautiful and rich!

 

 

  Didn't they turn out great? So which one is your favorite?  I am partial to green, so I have to say that the Pretty Peacock card is my favorite.  For more returning color inspiration, be sure to follow along on the blog hop using the links below.

 

Thanks for visiting and happy stamping!!

Sunday Fun Day: Fancy Fold Hello Ladybug Dutch Door card

 

  Hello and Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are featuring fancy fold cards.  I think this Dutch Door card is super easy and fun. I created a similar card back in March 2021 that you can find here.  Read on to find out more about today's project...

 

 

  I used the Hello Ladybug stamp set along with the coordinating Ladybug builder punch and Biggest Wish stamp sets today. The color palette includes Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade along with Basic Black. To place an online order or check out the new products available from the 2023-2024 Annual catalog, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code UAJXWBSR* with your online order at checkout through May 30th).  

 

 

  Here is how the card looks when it is closed.  I haven't received my preorder yet for new goodies from the Annual catalog, so had to make my own DSP. I used the "hello" from the Biggest Wish stamp set (Poppy Parade) along with the little "x's" (Granny Apple Green) and the dot (Daffodil Delight)from the Hello Ladybug set to create the bottom panel. I was inspired to use these colors from my Hello Ladybug cards created earlier this year (click below to visit those posts):

Faux Stair Step Card 

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the stamped panel. I cut out the ladybug body and wings using the punch - I love that it coordinates beautifully with this stamp set!  They are both popped up with stampin' dimensionals.

 

 

  Here is what the card looks like when opened up... as you can see, these are super easy to make! Just cut your card stock in half at 11" x 4-1/4". Score down the middle at 5-1/2". Then cut down along the fold until the 2-1/4" point and then cut that piece off from the top of the card to make your "door". I also added a little yellow flower on the inside to add some color.

 

 

  And here is one last view of my card. I hope you are inspired to make a Dutch Door card of your own. For even more fancy fold card ideas and inspiration, be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week. Happy stamping!!

Sunday Fun Day: Two-Tone Flora Mother's Day card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are featuring florals because you know what they say:  April showers bring May flowers!  I don't know about you, but my flower beds are alive with color right now! My irises are in full bloom (different shades of purple and yellow); the columbine are blooming in purple, pink, yellow and white; the knockout roses are in shades of bright red and salmon; the geraniums are in shades of magenta and the white spirea are full of tiny white flowers. I LOVE spring for this very reason... you can never have too many flowers. And with Mother's Day just a week away I decided to make a pretty floral card for my Mother-in-law. Sadly, this will be my first Mother's Day without my own mother, but I am thankful to still have my Mother-in-law to celebrate.  Please read on for more information about today's card...

 

 

  I used the Two-Tone Flora stamp set (a favorite from the Spring mini catalog that carried over to the new Annual catalog, yay!) along with the Gold & Vanilla ribbon.  To place an online order or check out the new products available from the 2023-2024 Annual catalog, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code UAJXWBSR* with your online order at checkout through May 30th).  

 

 

 

  Here is another view of my card.  My MIL loves the color yellow, so I used Daffodil Delight along with Crushed Curry for my yellow flowers. The purple flowers are Fresh Freesia with Highliand Heather ink. The blue flowers are Pool Party with returning color Lost Lagoon and the pink flowers are Flirty Flamingo. The greens used for the foliage images include Granny Apple Green and returning Lemon Lime Twist. Don't recognize the sentiment? That's because it is from a long-retired stamp set called All Year Cheer II. I have had this set for MANY years, anyone else remember it? Sadly, I don't have any current sets with a Mother's Day sentiment so I pulled this one out to use.   Wondering how I got the ribbon wrapped around the card? I used my paper snips to cut a small notch in the fold of the card and fed the ribbon through the hole and tied it in front. Easy-peasey!

 

 

  And here is one last view of my card. I hope you are inspired to stamp a floral card of your own. For even more retiring product card ideas and inspiration, be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week. Happy stamping!!

Sunday Fun Day: Saying good-bye to Friends are like Seashells

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are featuring retiring products from the 2022-20223 Annual catalog. I am surely going to miss a bunch of the retiring colors and chose to feature several with the Friends are like Seashells stamp set.  Are you tired of my One Sheet Wonders (OSW) yet? These are so fun and easy to put together, so I hope you enjoy this week's project...

 

 

  I stamped a full sheet of basic white card stock with various images from the Friends are Like Seashells stamp set using Bermuda Bay, Blushing Bride, Pacific Point, Sahara Sand and So Saffron ink pads.  Unfortunately, this stamp set is already gone. If there are any items that you have on your wish list, don't delay in ordering as many of the Last Chance products have already sold out!  To find out which items are still available and to place an online order (the best way to guarantee you'll be able to get what you want while it's in stock), please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code 6FH969HS* with your online order at checkout through May 30th).  

 

 

  To create the stamped sheet, I find it is easiest to start with the largest image and making sure to rotate the paper while stamping, and stamping off the paper to really make it feel like it is a piece of designer paper. Keep filling in with smaller images until you've filled out a full sheet.  For this set of cards, I cut the sheet into a piece 11" x 4-3/4", which I then cut into 3 pieces of 4-3/4" x 3-1/2" with a small strip left over (discarded).  Next, I cut the left over piece into 2 pieces of 5" x 3-3/4" with a small strip left over (also discarded). This gave me 5 pieces total that I could use to make 5 cards. 

 

 

  I mixed and matched the 5 colors of ink used for my card bases (some portrait and some landscape) and just kept it super simple with some sentiments from the stamp set. I hope you enjoyed my OSW card set today. For even more retiring product card ideas and inspiration, be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week. Happy stamping!!

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!
