Sunday Fun Day: Celebrating Sale-a-Bration with an Otterly Awesome card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday Monday! Due to technical difficulties (the premature death of my iPhone, which I dropped while in the grocery store over the weekend), my post is a little delayed.  But better late than never, right?  For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are showcasing Sale-a-Bration products.  These are exclusive items that you can't purchase - they can only be earned with a qualifying $50 or $100 purchase through February 28, 2022.  If you didn't get a catalog, be sure to check out the selections here in my Stampin' Up! store.

 

 

  Please see above for the products I used for my card: Awesome Otters cling stamp set (SAB, free with $50 purchase), Simply Marbleous 6" x 6" DSP pack (SAB, free with $50 purchase) and the Double Oval punch.  Please click on any photo above to hop over to my Stampin' Up! store to place an order.

 

 

  Here is another view of my card - I went  for a super quick & easy card, one where I didn't have to color. I think these little squares look cute as is, don't you? The swirly background DSP reminded me of water, so perfect for the otters!  The colors of card stock used are Balmy Blue and In Color Misty Moonlight (if you love this color like I do, be sure to stock up before it retires in a few months!!).

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the stamped squares.   These little guys are just so stinkin' cute!  I kept the embellishments super simple with just a strip of the balmy blue card stock with the oval punches.

 

 

   For the inside, I simply stamped the otter in the lower left corner. So cute!

 

 

  Here is one more view of my card.  For even more Sale-a-Bration product ideas and inspiration, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog.

Sunday Fun Day: Flowing Flowers birthday card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! I hope you are having a great weekend. We are experiencing snow and ice today, which makes me happy that I get to stay inside and stamp.  For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing birthday cards. I have been having fun playing with new products from the Jan-June Spring mini catalog and used a few for my card today.

 

  Please see above for the products I used for my card: Flowing Flowers stamp set, Butterflies & Flowers layering decorative masks (applied using a Blending brush) and Evening Evergreen windowpane check ribbon  Please click on any photo above to hop over to my Stampin' Up! store to place an order.

 

 

  Here is another view of my card - I went with a color of palette of Evening Evergreen, So Saffron and Basic White for my card. I created this gorgeous background piece using one of the layering masks and Evening Evergreen ink on a piece of basic white card stock. I then softly brushed on color after removing the mask to give it a little more color.  If you look at the stamp set, the Happy Birthday sentiment is one single line. I didn't have enough room to stamp it that way on my basic white panel, so inked the Happy first and stamped it and then the Birthday.

 

 

  The large flower was inked with So Saffron ink, and then I applied a little more color with a Mango Melody stampin' write marker in the center. I then fussy cut it and popped it up on the stamped panel. 

 

 

   For the inside, I simply stamped a smaller flower image with So Saffron ink in the lower left corner and the fun sentiment in the center with Evening Evergreen ink.

 

 

  Here is one more view of my card.  For even more birthday card ideas and inspiration, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog.

January 2022 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: In with the New

 

  Hi there and welcome to the January 2022 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing projects featuring NEW products - we have so much to choose from with the debut of the new January-June mini catalog AND the start of our Spring Sale-a-Bration promotion last week!  I decided to make a card set with the Friendly Hello bundle, which is a Sale-a-Bration selection when you purchase $100 in product. It has a stamp set and coordinating DSP pack. I wanted to show you some of the beautiful patterns so kept my cards super clean and simple.

 

 

  Check out that awesome SAB Friendly Hello bundle!  It has a stamp set and coordinating DSP pack. I wanted to show you some of the beautiful patterns, so featured big pieces on my simple cards.  I used the colors in the DSP for my card color palette: fresh freesia, granny apple green, petal pink, pool party and shaded spruce along with basic white and basic black.  The full product list for my card set is above.  Be sure to click on any of the images above to visit my Stampin' Up! store to purchase.

 

 

  Here is the first card - the DSP pattern is so pretty so I kept the sentiment very minimal. Wondering how I got the white strip?  I used my paper trimmer with a cutout from the Everyday Label punch to cut it like this in the photo above.  The stamp set is photopolymer, so it is very easy to see where you're stamping and it lined up perfectly.  That strip fit nicely with the Pool Party mat cut using the Label Me Lovely punch. The inside of the card has the smaller flower image stamped inside with pool party ink.

 

 

  For this monochromatic card featuring this beautiful granny apple green leaf pattern, I used a a piece cut out using the Tasteful Labels dies and stamped the sentiment with Tuxedo black ink and a similar foliage image from the DSP using granny apple green ink.  I used the same foliage image on the inside of the card as well.

 

 

  For this card, I decided to add some color rather than going with another monochromatic card. The bird image was stamped with pool party ink and then I used a blender pen and petal pink ink pad to dot color in the flower centers to pull in the petal pink card base. The sentiment was stamped with tuxedo black ink.

 

 

  Here is the last card - this one features a striped pattern featuring all of the colors. I wanted to use the bold Friendly Hello sentiment and thought it looked good with shaded spruce ink. I added the smaller flower in the lower left area of the diecut, stamped with granny apple green ink. I then stamped it again using fresh freesia ink on a scrap piece which I fussy cut and then added with a dimensional on top. 

  So what do you think, isn't this Sale-a-Bration bundle a must-have? For even more must-have inspiration, please be sure to check out the other blogs using the links below.

Thanks for visiting and happy stamping!!

Sunday Fun Day: Quick & Easy last-minute gift idea

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing Quick & Easy last-minute gift ideas. Mine is SUPER simple and easy to throw together because I always have the supplies on hand. I love buying the large assortment of hot cocoa packets at the big box store and who doesn't have candy canes and chocolates in their pantry at this time of year?  I also LOVE coffee mugs, and it is so fun picking out a few at the after-Christmas clearance sales. These are great to fill with this "snowman soup" (cocoa, candy canes and chocolates) or you could even stuff the mug with warm fuzzy socks, an assortment of teas - really anything - and then add a hand-stamped touch with a fun gift tag.

 

  These are the products I used for my tag, plus a mini hole punch and Evening Evergreen ink.

 

 

  For my gift tag I used the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set because I love the "merry & bright" sentiment and it happens to fit perfectly in the Label Me Lovely punch. I layered the white card stock with another label punched from real red card stock (which was cut in half) then added to the back. I also layered a banner of crushed curry (to match the belt buckle on Santa's belt) and then for a little more pop of color I added a piece of old olive card stock cut out with the Everyday Label punch.  This was tied onto the bag of chocolates with linen thread. I used a medium clear envelope (after cutting off the adhesive flap) and it fit perfectly into my mug. 

 

 

  Here is one more view of my Snowman Soup mug.  For even more QE last-minute Christmas gift ideas and inspiration, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog.

Sunday Fun Day: Thinking of You with Harvest Meadow Positive Thoughts

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing Thinking of You projects, and to me that usually means someone needs hugs, prayers and love.  I decided to make a card set using the Harvest Meadow DSP and the Positive Thoughts stamp set as I love the images and sentiments in this set. I also used a card layout that I saw on Pinterest earlier this week (see it here). I think it is perfect for showcasing beautiful DSP patterns from the same pack that coordinate so well together.

 

  With fall fully upon us here in Central Virginia, I knew I wanted to use the Harvest Meadow DSP pack from the Holiday catalog. The colors are beautiful and I pulled Bumblebee, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Misty Moonlight and Soft Succulents for the card stock and ink from the papers.  And don't you agree that the Positive Thoughts stamp set is perfect for this theme today?  Using the Label Me Lovely punch for the center stamped panel on each card worked out perfectly and there was plenty of room to add texture from a bow tied with linen thread.  To purchase the items used with today's project - please hop over to my Stampin' Up! store or click on any of the images above.

 

 

  This first card features the Soft Succulent and Misty Moonlight patterns. The foliage image from the stamp set was perfect for this card. I stamped the image on the inside panel of the card as well.

 

 

 

  This card features the Cajun Craze and Bumblebee patterns and I thought it was perfect for the flower image in the stamp set. I included the butterfly on the inside panel.

 

 

 

   Here is a monochromatic Crumb Cake card. The images are inked with Crumb Cake ink and the sentiments were done with Soft Suede ink.  I used the feather image for the front of the card and the foliage image for the inside panel.

 

 

 

  Here is my last card featuring Bumblebee and Misty Moonlight DSP patterns. I used the flower image on the front panel and the butterfly for the inside (both stamped off before added to the basic white card stock).  This card may be my favorite - which one is yours?

Sunday Fun Day: Happy Halloween!

 

  Hello and Happy Halloween!  For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing Halloween projects.  I decided to make a little favor treat bag to take to our neighbors across the street. My dog Bruno will be terrified of the constantly ringing doorbell tonight, so sadly I will not be handing out candy.

 

  I once again used this fun Clever Cats stamp set along with a middle sized rectangle die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies set.  To purchase the items used with today's project - please hop over to my Stampin' Up! store. 

 

 

  I pulled out my Tuxedo Black Memento pad, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape and Pumpkin Pie ink pads and stamped the smaller images from the stamp set onto white tissue paper to make it more festive. Did you know that you can stamp on tissue paper to personalize it for any occasion? I haven't done this in a while and forgot how messy it can be - be sure to let it dry completely so you don't smudge! 

 

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the stamped panel that I attached to the front of the gift bag with stampin' dimensionals. I think this kitty cat is the cutest!  Remember how I warned you about smudging above? Well, I had some of the gorgeous grape ink on my fingers after inking the tissue paper and smudged my stamped panel when attaching it to the bag. You can see it a little by the cat's tail - I just stamped the sentiment again on a piece of Highland Heather card stock and snipped it to make a banner and hide it. Bet you wouldn't have known if I had not told you, right? Don't ever fret over a smudge, use it as an opportunity to add another layer.  

 

 

   Here is one last look at my little favor bag. I think it turned out super-cute!  Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for even more great Halloween ideas and inspiration!!

Sunday Fun Day: Christmas card set featuring a fun card sketch

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing cards made using a fun card sketch, courtesy of Karla.

 

 

  This is the layout that we are using for this week's projects. I stuck pretty close to it with my two cards today that feature a few products from the Holiday catalog.

 

 

  I chose to use the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set along with the Gingerbread & Peppermint 6" x 6" DSP from the Holiday catalog along with the largest rectangle die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies set.  To purchase the items used with today's project - please hop over to my Stampin' Up! store.

 

 

 

  This first card feaures the tiny peppermint DSP for the corners and I cut out the cookie cutter Christmas tree from one of the sheets. I started with a 3" x 3" piece of the DSP that I cut in half diagonally.  The sentiment was inked with cinnamon cider, old olive and real red stampin' write markers. To top off the tree, I added a basic rhinestone for a little bling.  For the inside of the card, I just added a simple strip of the DSP that features larger peppermint candies.

 

 

 

   For my second card I used this fun swirly patterned DSP and cut out a snowflake, which I adorned with a basic rhinestone right in the center.  The sentiment was inked with old olive ink and I added a strip of the same DSP to the inside of the card.

 

 

 

   So which one do you like better? My daughter Amanda prefers the Christmas Tree card, but I think I like the snowflake one just a little bit better.  I plan to make more of these quick & easy cards to send out to my friends and family this year.  I hope I have inspired you to get started on  your Christmas cards also!

Sunday Fun Day: Halloween trick-or-treat!!

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing Halloween treats and I once again went with my favorite 2-4-6-8 favor box.  I thought I had ordered Halloween DSP, but alas I did not. So, I did the next best thing and created my own using various images from the Clever Cats stamp set that I used for my Stampers Dozen Blog Hop project a few days ago (see that post here). 

 

  The products I used with today's project include the Clever Cats stamp set, Label Me Lovely punch and Black & White 1/4" Gingham Ribbon, which I colored with the Light Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends marker.  Click on any of the images above to visit my Stampin' Up! store to place an online order.

 

 

  These little favor boxes come together so quickly from just half a sheet of card stock - just cut it in half so it is 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", then score it on the long side at 2", 4", 6" and 8" so you have four 2" panels and one 1/2" flap. Next, rotate the card stock 90 degrees and score at 4". Cut the bottom flaps, trim the corners and glue it together - easy-peasey!  For more detailed directions, see this PDF from my Countdown to Christmas 2020.

 

 

 

   And here is a close-up of the panel - I stamped the solid pumpkin image with Mango Melody ink and then added the detailed jack-o-lantern image over it with a Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad (best to use this since the stamp set is photopolymer). I added the kitty cat, which I somehow managed to miss sitting directly on the pumpkin, and the sentiment.  The hardest part of this project was threading the ribbon through the tiny holes.  I didn't tie a knot so it is easy to open the favor without destroying it.

 

 

   Here is one last look at my favor box.  I hope I have inspired you with my stamped Halloween treat. Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for even more great card Halloween treat ideas and inspiration!!

Sunday Fun Day: Seashells and Vellum Birthday Card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing cards featuring vellum cardstock. I must admit, I had to dust off my pack as it has been quite a while since I've used it.  The hardest part about vellum is adhering it - since it is totally translucent, it is hard to hide the glue. I decided to use a very busy texture folder and use little drops of Tombow multipurpose liquid glue strategically under a card stock strip with the sentiment as well as in the corners under the design.  If you look really closely, you can spot it, but I think it turned out okay.

 

 

  The products I used with today's project include the 8-1/2" x 11" Vellum cardstock, Friends are Like Seashells stamp set, coordinating Seashells 3D embossing folder and Flowers for Every Season ribbon combo pack.

 

 

 

   Here is another view of my card - the rhinestones show up a little better in this view and look a little like water drops to me.  At least that is the look I was going for - did it work?  

 

 

 

  From this angle, you can see the great texture provided by the Seashells 3D embossing folder on the vellum cardstock.  I found that having a piece of the darker Pacific Point cardstock underneath really brought out the white design details. I added these to a base card of Coastal Cabana card stock since it looks so great with Pacific Point, very beach-y.  Although the bakers twine is misty moonlight, it does match the blue of the Pacific Point card stock that shows through the vellum.

 

 

 

   And here is how I stamped the inside of my card - I used Coastal Cabana ink with the large shell in the corner and stamped the sentiment with Pacific Point ink, leaving lots of room to write.

 

 

   Here is one last look at my card.  I hope I have inspired you with my vellum card. Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for even more great card ideas and inspiration and to find out who won the Blog Candy from last week's post!!

Sunday Fun Day: Masculine Seashells card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  Thanks so much for visiting today and checking out my Sunday Fun Day project for the Sisters in Stamping blog. This week we are sharing masculine projects since Father's Day is just a week away.

 

  I decided to use the Friends are like Seashells stamp set. Check out these fabulous samples and images in the Sand & Sea product suite from the January-June catalog. Great news - the stamp set and dies collection have carried over into the 2021-2022 annual catalog!!  For someone who loves the beach like I do, this is fantastic!!

 

 

   Here is another view of my card - I created the background using three of the larger shell images from the stamp set that were inked with sahara sand ink and stamped on sahara sand card stock. Once dry, I lightly misted the card stock on the unstamped side and crinkled it up to add lots of texture. Once flattened and added to the card I think it adds a lot of great texture, which is perfect for masculine cards. I love adding texture with embossing folders, but sometimes just a simple crinkle can add lots of character to a card.

 

 

  I stamped the smaller of the three shells with sahara sand ink onto this die cut that I used the Stitched So Sweetly collection to cut out, then added the sentiment with pacific point ink.   I popped it up on a thin strip of pacific point card stock and mounted it onto a pacific point card stock mat which was added to a basic white card base.  This is a quick and easy, clean and simple card - perfect for my husband!

 

 

   For the inside of my card, I stamped the medium sized shell with sahara sand, then added two sentiments using pacific point ink. 

 

 

 

   I hope I have inspired you to add some texture to your masculine cards and use a stamp set that may not necessarily be intended as a masculine one.  Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for more masculine card ideas and inspiration. 

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!
