Unfrogettable Stamping!

Sunday Fun Day: Fun Fold surprise card set

  Hello and Happy Sunday! This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing cards featuring fun folds.  These cards are so fun to receive and some techniques are more difficult than others. I found this card idea by Karen Titus on Pinterest (see that pin here for great directions).  She didn't give the fold a name so I am just calling it a fun fold surprise card.  I made a set of two using this fun new DSP from the Holiday catalog and wanted to show how  versatile it is by making both a Christmas card AND a birthday card just by switching up the stamp sets used. Read on to find out more about each card...

 

  How fun is this Merry Bold & Bright DSP? I love the colors and patterns, and wanted to show you how versatile this new Christmas DSP is from the new Holiday catalog. I used it and the versatile Very Best Occasions stamp set (a carryover from last year's holiday catalog) for both cards. In addition, I used the new Beary Cute stamp set and Taco Fiesta sets along with a color palette taken from the DSP.  More about each card in the details below.  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 2SXNFJ2R* with your online order at checkout through September 30th).  

 

 

  Here is my Christmas card - I went with the tiny Christmas lights design because I love the giant polka dots on the reverse. The sentiment and gift image from the Beary Cute stamp set are on the card front and the sentiment in the center of the fun fold is from the Very Best Occasions set. I inked it with basic black ink, then colored in the holly leaves with granny apple green stampin' write marker, the berries with a poppy parade stampin' write marker and the pine needles with a shaded spruce stampin' write marker. The card base is cut from granny apple green card stock and I matted the fun fold with poppy parade card stock. 

 

  For the inside of the card, I added a thin strip of the mini lights DSP and added the snowflakes and sentiment from the Beary Cute stamp set.

 

 

  And here is my birthday card. I had to use the Taco Fiesta stamp set because I made this card for one of my very best friends who has a birthday coming up in 2 weeks. I don't think she follows my blog, otherwise I have blown the surprise. Whitney and I love going to get tacos and this set is too cute!  Ironically, she is allergic to guacamole, but the colors of the avocado and guacamole were too perfect not to use on the card front! She'll understand, I'm sure. Both images are colored with stampin' blends (light and dark granny apple green, light pecan pie, light basic black and dark smoky slate).

 

 

   For the inside of the card I again added a thin strip of the DSP along the side. However, when I glued it down I had some black ink on my finger and had an ugly smudge at the top. I "fixed" it by stamping the tortilla chips over top and she'll never know! I hope she loves this card as much as I loved making it for her!!

 

  And here is one last view of these cards. For even more fun 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!!

  Hello and Happy New Year! It is hard to believe that Christmas is over and a new year has begun!!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing Black, Gold and White celebration cards.

Sunday Fun Day: Quick & Easy Celebrate Everything Christmas cards

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! It is hard to believe that Christmas is just ONE WEEK away!!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing quick & easy Christmas cards. I was inspired by this card idea shared by Connie Stewart on Pinterest (see that pin here).  I changed it up a little, adding a few more layers to my card.

 

  Above are images and links to the products that I used for today's project. If you love the Celebrate Everything DSP pack as much as I do, hurry over and place a host-reward eligible order ($150+) while it is still available!  Unfortunately, the Handmade Wishes stamp set that I used for these cards is no longer available. To find out more about these items or to place an online order, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code QK2EEZND with your online order at checkout through December 30th).  

 

 

  Here are close-ups of each of the cards I created when cutting the square of DSP in half diagonally. I did each one a little bit differently, as you can see. The stamp set, unfortunately, is no longer available from Stampin' Up! as it has sold out due to demand. You can certainly use a variety of other larger Christmas sentiments/images instead.

 

 

  Here is a view of the inside of the card. I used a small strip of the DSP to add a fun accent and added a simple sentiment.

Dimensions and instructions:

• Cut base card stock 11" x 4-1/4" 
• Score at 5-1/2" 
• Add a mat to the card front 5-3/8" x 4-1/8"
• Cut a piece of DSP 4" x 4" and cut on a diagonal
• Use adhesive to attach to panel card stock 5-1/4" x 4"
• Use adhesive to attach a strip of card stock 5" x 1/4" along the edge of the DSP. Cut extra with paper snips
• Stamp sentiment
• Attach panel to mat. Glue to card base.  Embellish inside of card (5-1/4" x 4" basic white CS)

This is a great way to use up DSP and make a lot of cards!  You can rotate the panel to match the DSP pattern and end up with a landscape or portrait oriented card.

 

 

  Here is one more example of a card made using the Celebrate Everything host DSP.  I hope you give this layout a try! For even more quick and easy card last-minute Christmas card ideas and inspiration, please be sure to check out the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what Karla and Rachel created this week.

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

Sunday Fun Day: Celebrate Everything handmade Christmas ornament

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! I hope you and your loved ones had a very Happy Thanksgiving.  This was our first big holiday without my Mom and I sure am missing her.  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing handmade Christmas ornaments and I decided to make one similar to an ornament I created back in 2020 (see that blog post here).  I used the Celebrate Everything DSP pack (host reward from the Holiday catalog), the new In Color baker's twine, Wonderful Snowflakes and Medium Daisy punch to make it. Isn't it cute?! These are super non-traditional colors, but I love it!

 

  Above are images and links to the products that I used for today's project. To find out more about these items or to place an online order, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code DJTZ9EEH with your online order at checkout through November 30th).  

 

 

  Here are two different views of the ornament. The bottom layer is made up of thirteen 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" squares of one piece of DSP and the top layer is made up of twelve 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" squares of another piece of DSP from the Celebrate Everything DSP pack. I really love these bright non-traditional colors for Christmas. I used a bone folder to help me bend the DSP squares into the little cones. I used a dab of multipurpose glue to hold them closed. For the center, I used one of the Wonderful Snowflakes, then topped that with two daisies that I cut out using the Medium Daisy punch. I fussy cut one of the ornaments from the other Christmas pattern DSP in the Celebrate Everything pack and added it with a rhinestone jewel right in the center.  

 

 

  I used a retired circle punch to glue each layer of cones down and then built up from the bottom layer - you can see the back view above. I tucked the baker's twine loop in between two layers of the circle punch to hold it securely. 

 

 

  I love the bright Parakeet Party baker's twine, but it wasn't quite strong enough to hold the ornament, so I cut three pieces and braided them to make it a stronger loop to hang the ornament. 

 

 

  Here is one more view of my ornament hanging on my tree.  I have quite a few of these handmade ornaments now since we tend to have this as a blog post theme every year. For even more handmade ornament ideas and inspiration, please be sure to check out the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what Karla and Rachel created this week.

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

Sunday Fun Day: Halloween treats

I apologize for the delay in getting this post published, but Typepad has had some serious issues this past week!

 

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday Wednesday! I apologize for the delay in getting this post published. We shared Halloween treats over on the Sisters in Stamping blog over the weekend.  For today's post I created little treat bags for the kids across the street and wrapped chocolate bars with DSP. 

 

 

  If you would like to purchase any of the products used with today's project, please click the list above to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code DJTZ9EEH with your online order at checkout through November 30th). 

 

 

 

 Here are close-up images of the embellishments that I added to my small treat bags that I picked up at the dollar store.  The googly eyes are a retired item from a few years ago - they're so cute!

 

 

 

  For my candy bar wrappers, I took a piece of 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" pumpkin pie card stock, spritzed it lightly with water, then used a bone folder to make it more flexible. I folded it around the candy bar, then left it to dry. Once dry, I used Tear and Tape adhesive to close it around the candy bar, then embellished the top with DSP and a punch (see below).

 

 

 

  Here are my two embellished candy bars. Didn't they turn out cute? I love using the Stampin' Blends to color the ghosts on the DSP and also for the witches hats.

 

 

 

  So which treat bag and candy bar are your favorites?  For even more Halloween treat ideas, please be sure to check out the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what Karla and Rachel created this week.

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

Sunday Fun Day: From trash to treasure jack-o-lantern tool holder

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! This week we are sharing trash-to-treasure projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  Karla thought it would be fun to share how we can make new items out of things that were headed to the trash.  Hard to believe that this project started off as the glass jar that my favorite yogurt came in... instead of going into the trash can, I decided to wash it and turn it into a cute jack-o'-lantern holder to keep my crafting tools close by on my desk. 

 

  If you would like to purchase any of the products used with today's project, please hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code WHFMJPED with your online order at checkout through October 30th). 

 

 

  I started by cutting 3" x 1" strips of pumpkin pie card stock (8 total) and then spritzed them with water using my Stampin' Spritzer. I crumbled them up to add texture, but also to break the paper fibers which made it easier to wrap around the glass.

 

 

 

  Next, I took Tear & Tape adhesive and wrapped it around the glass, including the bottom. Carefully, I peeled the top layer off and adhered the strips of pumpkin pie card stock. I purposely left a small gap between the strips... you'll see why shortly.

 

 

 

  I used strips of the pumpkin pie glitter washi tape and covered the seams of the card stock.  This helped to hold it all in place and sort of looks like the ridges on a pumpkin. Next, I took the black glitter washi tape and put several strips on a piece of scrap paper and then cut out a rectangle of it. I flipped it over and drew two triangles for eyes and a mouth. I cut these out and attached them to the pumpkin using multipurpose glue.  When you look at it up close you can see the strips of the washi tape, but from a distance it just looks like a solid piece of glitter paper. 

 

 

 

  I love the way this turned out and it holds my tools perfectly!  For even more trash to treasure ideas using Stampin' Up! products, please be sure to check out the Sisters in Stamping blog,

Sunday Fun Day: Rustic Harvest Fall birthday cards

Sorry, this post is a little late this week... enjoy!

  Hello and Happy Sunday Monday! This week we are sharing fall-themed cards over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  I have several friends with October birthdays, so created two different cards featuring the Rustic Harvest DSP from the Holiday catalog.  I love these patterns and check out how totally different these cards are!

 

 

  Don't you just love this DSP? It is in the Holiday catalog and is perfect for your Fall projects. Please click any of the images above to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code 9D2TRR97 with your online order at checkout through September 30th).  

 

  Here is the first card - don't see the colored leaves DSP in the product image above? That is because this is a black and white paper and I colored the different leaf images with Stampin' Blends markers: Cherry Cobbler, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Mossy Meadow and Pumpkin Pie. I added some fun texture with the Gingham embossing folder used with the Crushed Curry card stock and the Natural Woven ribbon in the top corner that I tied in a knot. It doesn't really show in the images, but I also used a Wink of Stella glimmer brush to add some shimmer and shine to the leaves and "colored" in the birthday letters on the punch.  The friend for whom I created this card doesn't like the mess of glitter, so this way she will get some bling without the mess.  I hope she likes it as much as I do!

 

 

 

  For this card I was going for more of a masculine feel. I really let the pumpkins pattern shine as the focal point of the card. 

 

 

  Wondering what ribbon I used on the punch? That is actually a very thin strip of mossy meadow card stock that I used to make a knot. In order to do so, I had to first break the fibers using my bone folder. It adds the perfect touch, don't you think? I also colored in the birthday letters using a cajun crazy stampin' write marker.  For the inside of the card, I added a small strip of the DSP from the front of the card. I really love how this one turned out!

 

 

 

    Here's one more look at my cards.  Which is your favorite? For even more fall card ideas and inspiration, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week.

Sunday Fun Day: Penguin Place Snowflake Christmas card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! We are showcasing accessories in our Sunday Fun Day projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog today and I decided to use one of the Wonderful Snowflakes for my fun penguin Christmas card. 

 

 

  The Wonderful Snowflakes are a product that was offered in last year's holiday catalog and thankfully carried over. They are iridescent on one side and matte on the other, so give you a lot of possibilities.  I also used the super-cute Penguin Place stamp set and coordinating Penguin Builder punch for my card.  If  you would like to purchase any of these products, be sure to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store to place an order (don't forget to use Host Code ZW9YEQMB with your online order at checkout through August 30th).  If your order is $50+ you also get to choose a free Sale-a-Bration item, too!

 

 

  This view is a little better - I don't know why, but the background is basic white but didn't photograph that way. 

 

 

 

  I stamped the sentiment on a strip of card stock and mounted it across the center of the snowflake with a stampin' dimensional. For the background piece, I stamped the tiny snowflakes all over with pool party ink and stamped the reindeer antlers right onto the card stock since I didn't want to cut them out. The penguin was stamped on a scrap of white and cut out using my Penguin builder punch. Easy-peasy!

 

 

    Here's one more look at my card.  For even more accessories ideas and inspiration, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week.

Sunday Fun Day: Christmas in July Scottie Dog card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! We are celebrating Christmas in July over on the Sisters in Stamping blog today and sharing Christmas card ideas. It is never too early to get started on your Christmas cards, is it?  I decided to feature the Christmas Scottie bundle that I recently purchased from the Holiday catalog.  The stamp set and coordinating punch are so darn cute!

 

 

  In addition to the Christmas Scottie bundle, I also used the Layering Circles dies and the Artistic Mix decorative masks that are in the Annual catalog. If  you would like to purchase any of these products, be sure to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store to place an order (don't forget to use Host Code ZW9YEQMB with your online order at checkout through August 30th).  If your order is $50+ you also get to choose a free Sale-a-Bration item, too!

 

 

  This view shows how I punched out the dog and bow and popped them up on the layered circle die cuts. The plaid pattern on the inner circle was achieved using a stamping' blend brush with real red ink and the respective mask from the Artistic Mix decorative mask set.

 

 

 

 Here is a look at the inside of the card. I stamped the ribbon image along the top, a sentiment in the center and a peeking little pup in the lower left corner. 

 

 

    Here's one more look at my card.  For even more Christmas card ideas and inspiration, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week.
