Sunday Fun Day: Monochromatic sympathy card

  Hello and Happy Sunday! This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing cards with a monochromatic color theme. I decided to go with an array of browns to make a sympathy card that was more masculine. Sadly, I needed one to send tomorrow to a friend and former downline who lost her father-in-law this week. It's always sad to lose loved ones around a holiday and I hope that Thanksgiving won't be too painful for them next year.

 

 

  Today's card features the the Hope You Know and Oceanfront stamp sets. I kept this card very minimalist to give it an artsy feel, but also because it is to express sorrow for the death of a man. I usually use flower images with sympathy cards, but thought this was more appropriate. To purchase these sets or anything else, be sure to hop over to my Stampin' Up! store. And while you're there, be sure to check out the Last Chance sale, but don't wait too long because these are only being sold while available. Placing an online order is best so you can see what is available and you don't have to wait on me. Please be sure to use the Host code URCUVRTP* with your online order (unless your order is $150+ which earns Stampin' Rewards). To check out the products available, please hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store.

 

 

  The colors used with today's card include Copper Clay (an In Color this year), Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Pecan Pie. The stamped panel as well as the base card mat are Very Vanilla card stock which works well with these shades of brown. I really love the Oceanfront stamp set - it makes me feel like an artist when I put the images together!  I wanted just a simple sentiment on the front of the card, and used one from the Hope You Know set inked with Early Espresso on a strip of Very Vanilla card stock that I added to the top of the stamped panel. 

 

 

    For the inside of the card, I used two of the coordinating sentiments from the Hope You Know set inked with the Early Espresso stamp pad. I also included the sea grass image in the lower left corner that I inked with Copper Clay stamp pad.

 

  And here is one last view of this card. For even more monochromatic 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. Thanks for visiting and have a Happy Thanksgiving this week!!

Sunday Fun Day: Using up scraps to make a colorful birthday card

  Hello and Happy Sunday Monday! If you're wondering where I've been, we recently moved to Staunton in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and it has been quite an ordeal packing up a house that we have lived in for 22 years and then unpacking enough to find stamping supplies to make a project. I promise to be posting more regularly now and hope you enjoy this week's Sisters in Stamping blog project. We are sharing card ideas to use up scraps. You know, those pieces of left over card stock and DSP that seem to grow on your crafting table every time you make a project. 

 

 

  This card is a clean and simple one featuring a birthday sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set. 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 URCUVRTP* with your online order at checkout through November 30th).  

 

 

  Here is how I created my colorful strip - I had a scrap piece of basic black card stock that was 5-1/2" x 2". I trimmed it down to 5-1/4" and then just found a bunch of strips of different sizes in bright colors and glued them onto the strip (see above). I did lay them out first without gluing o see how much space I needed to leave between the strips. It isn't perfectly spaced, but that is okay! I also used Tombow multipurpose liquid glue to give me a tiny bit of wiggle room as I adhered down each strip and worked my way from the outside into the middle. Once dry, I flipped it over and cut off the ends using my paper snips. So simple and what a fun way to use up scraps of card stock. I did trim off a 1/4" strip from the finished piece to put on the inside of my card before assembling my card. 

 

 

    How fun is this? You could make a ton of these so easily and have them on hand for any occasion. The Biggest Wish stamp set is photopolymer, so lining up the sentiment was super easy!

 

 

   Remember that strip I cut off? How cute is it on the inside of the card?!

 

  And here is one last view of this card. For even more ideas and inspiration to use up your scraps, be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week. Thanks for visiting and happy stamping!!

Sunday Fun Day: Hello Fall birthday card

  Hello and Happy Sunday! This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing fall cards.  Can you believe we are already in October?!  The leaves are starting to turn here in Central Virginia and the temperatures are finally beginning to feel like fall.  I challenged myself to try using a stamp set that is not ordinarily used for fall and think I pulled it off thanks to the color palette.  

 

  The Hello Ladybug stamp set is currently in low inventory status, so if you want to purchase it please place your order online. In addition to this set I used the Go To Greetings stamp set for the birthday sentiment. I also added a bit of bling in the center of the flower with a rhinestone gem colored with the Dark Calypso Coral stampin' blends marker. I love being able to do that!  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 FNHQZT2T* with your online order at checkout through October 30th).  

 

 

  My card today uses a color palette of Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Pecan Pie and Very Vanilla. These are all great for fall but also all yummy foods! Anyone else hungry now?

 

 

  I stamped the flower twice to make it fuller and added a colored rhinestone gem in the center for some added bling. I fussy cut it with paper snips and popped it up on the sentiment strip.  To create the background design, the leaves were stamped with Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry inks and then I added some random little dots using Pecan Pie ink.  

 

 

  For the inside of the card I simply stamped two of the leaves in the corners using Crushed Curry ink, leaving lots of room to write.

 

  And here is one last view of this card. For even more Fall 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: Black, White and Melon Mambo Color & Contour thank you card

 

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday evening!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing black and white cards with a pop of color. This is such an easy color combination as most colors look great with black and white!  I chose to feature Melon Mambo in my thank you card today.

 

  For today's card I used the Color & Contour stamp set and coordinating Scalloped Contours dies along with Melon Mambo stampin' blends and Clear Wink of Stella. My black ink of choice is always Memento Tuxedo Black ink as I think it is a softer, prettier black.  Plus, I tend to grab my stampin' blends whenever I color these days and this is the ink of choice for these alcohol-based markers.  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 BK2CKGVA* with your online order at checkout through August 30th). 

 

  I love using stamps to make my own "designer paper" and this flower image with it's whimsical line art was a perfect backdrop for that focal panel. 

 

 Here is a close-up of the stamped panel.  I discovered that clear Wink of Stella on stampin' blends ink kind of washes out the color. It wasn't exactly the look I was going for, but I ended up using it on my card today because I like how it softened the color - almost like it whitewashed it.  You can also see how I cut the sentiment out using the Handmade Tag punch and offset a black piece underneath it to give it some contrast against the white card stock panel. The scalloped piece was die-cut from the outer Melon Mambo card stock mat (you can't see the middle of the card stock since it is sandwiched between layers). 

 

  I kept the inside of the card super simple with another flower image and sentiment from the stamp set.

 

 

  And here is one last view of this card. For even more "black & white with a pop of color" 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: Quiet Meadow sympathy card

 

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday evening!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing sympathy cards. This is the kind of card that I am sadly finding I need more and more the older I get. Today's project is a quick and easy one!

 

  For today's card I used the Quiet Meadow and Something Fancy stamp sets along with small blending brushes, and the gold Metallic Enamel effects. 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 BK2CKGVA* with your online order at checkout through August 30th). 

 

  I CASE'd myself again (check out this post from a few weeks ago). I think Pool Party is such a pretty color!  This time I used a circle for my shape and added a flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set. I colored it using Lost Lagoon, Old Olive and Pool Party stampin' write markers. I decided not to add any rhinestones or pearls to the card since it is a sympathy card, I figured simple is best.

 

 

 Here is a close-up of the flowers. After coloring with my markers, I decided to add some of the gold Metallic Enamel to the centers. It is hard to photograph, but is very pretty on the card.

 

  Do you keep templates? I do and these are the two that I will keep inside the Quiet Meadow stamp set since I know I'll make more of these cards later. I added some Tombow multipurpose liquid adhesive to the back and let it dry so these are tacky and will stick to my card stock when I am adding color with my blending brushes.

 

  And here is one last view of this card. For even more sympathy 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: 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!!

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!!

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: Fun with Embossing!

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are featuring embossing techniques.  Did you know that there are three different ways to emboss?  They are: 1) dry embossing (with an embossing folder), 2) heat embossing (using embossing powders and a heat gun) and 3) using embossing paste with a decorative mask. I chose to use embossing folders because I love how quickly and easily they add fantastic texture to a card.  I want to use and feature as many of my retiring products while I still can this month, so I made 3 cards to share with you today. Two of them are Christmas cards and feature the Wintry 3D embossing folders, and the other features the Pretty Flowers embossing folder. Please read on to find out more about each card....

 

  Above are images and links to the retiring products that I used for today's project. As you can see, many are deeply discounted. But don't delay in ordering, many of the Last Chance products have already sold out including the Celebrating You stamp set that I used for my Thank You card. 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).  

 

 

  For these two Christmas cards, I used the Wintry Mix 3D embossing folders along with a color palette of Mint Macaron, Pacific Point, Sahara Sand, Soft Succulent and Soft Suede.  The reindeer were created using Soft Suede CS for the body and Sahara Sand CS for the antlers. I added a Rudolph nose using a Red Rhinestone basic jewel.  The Merry Christmas sentiment is from the Christmas Scottie set that retired from the last Holiday catalog.  Please see below for additional details about each card. 

 

 

  Up first is a card that features the snowflakes folder from the Wintry Mix 3D embossing folder set. As you can see from the close-up in the second photo, the 3D folders really give a deep impression so the texture created is amazing!  The card base of this one was cut from Mint Macaron CS and the Label Me Lovely punch was cut from Soft Succulent CS. I love how these colors go together for a fun untraditional Christmas card.

 

 

   The base of this card is Pacific Point CS, the textured strip is Soft Succulent CS and the punch was cut from Mint Macaron CS. I also added a stip of the Sahara Sand twill ribbon for even more texture and interest. I just love how deeply embossed the fir branches are on this card!

 

 

  And here is the card featuring the Pretty Flowers embossing folder. I added Polished Pink ink to one side of the folder (just swiping it on directly from the ink pad), then carefully added a piece of Polished Pink CS and ran it through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine. The color was transferred onto the card stock and this is the result! So pretty!!  I wanted to really highlight it as the focal point of my card, so I matted it with a piece of basic white CS and attached it to a Bermuda Bay card base with a strip of Mint Macaron CS added to provide some contrast. How did I not know how well Mint Macaron pairs with Bermuda Bay until today?? I then added a quick little sentiment onto a strip of 1/2" wide basic white CS that I cut on an angle and glued to my card. Easy-peasey!  I do have to warn you, this is a MESSY technique. Because our ink pads are water-based dyes, cleaning your embossing folder is as easy as running it under the faucet in your sink to wash away the ink. Getting it off your fingers may be a bit trickier if you don't wash your hands right away!  Ask me how I know that, ha ha.

  Well, I hope you enjoyed my embossed cards today. For even more embossed 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!!
