Unfrogettable Stamping!

Sunday Fun Day: Giving thanks with a Bouquet of Thanks

 

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are giving thanks this week and featuring Thank You cards. I decided to use the Bouquet of Thanks stamp that I recently got and showcase the 2021-2023 In Colors that will be leaving in the spring.  These all turned out really pretty, don't you think?

 

 

  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).  

 

 

 

  I made all four cards the same, sticking to one color for each card (ink and card stock) plus basic white.  I wanted to share photos of the Polished Pink card and matching envelope so you could see how I stamped the inside and the matching envelope (they are all the same, but this one photographed the best). See how I used a partial image of the flowers stamp in the bottom left corner of the envelope?  So pretty!

 

 

 

  I stamped the flowers image on the Polished Pink card stock panel and again on a scrap piece of basic white card stock. I then carefully cut out the banner from the basic white card stock and glued it on top to make it pop a little bit more. Because both are stamped with the same image, they line up perfectly. I also matted the panel with basic white card stock before adding it to my base card. To further use white on the card, I used a white watercolor pencil and colored all the flower images. I then used a Clear Wink of Stella glitter brush like a watercolor brush to spread out the white and add shimmer to the card. It is very hard to photograph, but I think between the two above you can see what I did. It is very subtle, but makes a huge difference in the finished card!

 

 

 

  For the inside of my card, I stamped a partial image of the flowers just like I did for my envelope. I think it adds a lot to the card.

 

 

 

  Here is one more view of all four cards.  Which is your favorite?  For even more giving thanks 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: Perfectly Penciled Wedding Wishes card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! This week we are showcasing wedding cards over on the Sisters in Stamping blog in honor of Rachel's son's wedding this weekend.  I am not quite there with my kids, but look forward to the day they get married.  Wedding cards are always difficult for me, but thankfully I had some beautiful DSP to help me with this card.

 

 

 

  Don't you just love this DSP? It is ON SALE now during Week 3 of September's Weekly Deals (but only through September 21st). I colored the gorgeous pattern with my Stampin' Blends alcohol markers and what an easy card!  Want to place an online order? 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 another view of my card. I used Petal Pink for the flowers, Pumpkin Pie for the flower centers and butterflies, and Soft Sea Foam for the foliage. The colors are soft and go well with the Smoky Slate card base.

 

 

 

  I cut a small strip of the DSP and flipped it over (the pattern is also beautiful), and stamped the matching verse to the outside of the card from the Celebrate You stamp set. This is a great set an is so versatile!

 

 

 

    Here's one more look at my card.  For even more wedding 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: Wonderful World of Flowers card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! We have a theme of summer flowers for our projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog today.  With the end of the current Sale-a-Bration promotion coming soon (August 31st), I wanted to feature the Wonderful World bundle one more time (did you catch this birthday card post earlier?).   In addition to this bundle, I also used the new Handmade Tag punch from the Holiday catalog and  Celebrating You stamp set. Want to place an order? Be sure to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store to place an order (don't forget to use Host Code 9KTH7QVD with your online order at checkout through September 30th).  If your order is $50+ you also get to choose a free Sale-a-Bration item, too!  If you want to earn this Wonderful World bundle, make sure your product total is at least $100.

 

 

  Here is top view of my card. It is a very clean and simple layout, my favorite!

 

 

  This view shows a little better how I layered the two punches cut using the Handmade Tag punch. I pulled the colors used for this card (melon mambo, pear pizzazz and polished pink) from the DSP piece.

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: Wonderful World birthday card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! Today's theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog is birthday cards. I just recently received my Holiday catalog and SAB order and wanted to use the new Wonderful World DSP and stamp bundle that is a Sale-a-Bration selection right now that you can earn for free with a qualifying $100 merchandise order. The papers are so beautiful and the flower images are a perfect match.

 

 

  In addition to the Wonderful World bundle, I also used a new stamp set called Go To Greetings which is in the new Annual catalog. I love the different fonts and sizes of these often-needed sentiments! Click on either of the photos to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store to place an order (don't forget to use Host Code KDZFB6MW with your online order at checkout through July 30th). 

 

 

  This is a super simple Quick & Easy card and you can very easily make quite a few at one time. I wanted to add some texture to the card front so tied a double bow using linen thread.  Want to make one of these cards yourself? Here are the card stock dimensions that I used for my project today:

Card Dimensions

Base card: Melon Mambo CS 11” x 4-1/4″, scored at 5 1/2″

Card front strip: Basic White CS 3-3/4″ x 1-1/4″

Card front mat and inside panel: (2) Basic White Cake CS 5-1/4″ x 4"

Card front panel: DSP 5" x 3-3/4"

Inside panel DSP strip: 5" x 1/4"

 

 

 Here is a closer look at the inside of the card. I used a narrow strip of the DSP for some color and then stamped a flower image from the stamp set using Sahara Sand ink (I used second generation inking, stamping off on scrap paper first, so you can write over the image if needed).

 

 

    Here's one more look at my card.  For even more birthday 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: Pinterest CASE Positive Thoughts silhouette sympathy card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing projects we CASE'd from Pinterest. I can't think of a more fun site that is FULL of inspiration!  I love getting card ideas, recipes and more from Pinterest (check out my boards here).  

 

  I used the Positive Thoughts stamp set for this card along with Blending Brushes to add the ink for the background. The images and sentiments were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and I used Balmy Blue and Misty Moonlight (of course!) for the background.  Please click on any of the photos above to hop over to my Stampin' Up! store to place an order.  If ordering online, please be sure to use Host Code QNTFU7G6. 

 

 

 

Sympathy Card by Jeannie at KampaKreations

  The card that I CASE'd from Pinterest is this one above created by Jeannie at Kampa Kreations.  I love her coloring and silhouette cards are so beautiful! 

 

 

  Here is another view of my card. The blues that I used are definitely different from the original, but I think I was able to achieve the same feeling. My moon was created using a sticky note that I cut into a circle using one of the Layering Circle dies.  That way I could sponge around it without it moving. The blending brushes make it easy to add color, but if you try this technique be sure to use a light hand and after inking dab off excess ink on a piece of grid paper first so you don't end up with splotchy areas on the basic white card stock panel.  Start with the Balmy Blue ink and keep adding a little at a time until you achieve the look you want. I left the center area below the moon without a lot of color so the silhouette images really pop. I added Misty Moonlight ink around the edges and especially in the corners until I achieved the look I wanted. 

 

 

  Here is the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment and then the image from the front after stamping off once.  

 

 

 

  Here's one more look at my card. For even more Pinterest CASE'd card ideas and projects, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what Karla and Rachel created.

Sunday Fun Day: Reminder - Sale-a-Bration ends tomorrow Feb. 28th!!

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing projects featuring our favorite Sale-a-Bration selections since this fabulous promotion is ending on Monday, February 28th!!  If there is anything else on your wish list, don't forget to place your order before it is too late. If ordering online, please be sure to use Host Code QNTFU7G6.  For my card set today, I used the Friendly Hello bundle (awesome stamp set plus coordinating DSP) that is FREE with a qualifying $100 merchandise order.  Please read on to learn more about each card. 

 

 

  Please see above for the Sale-a-Bration products I used with today's project - the Friendly Hello bundle, free with a qualifying $100 purchase through February 28th! Click on either photo above to hop over to my Stampin' Up! store to place an order.

 

 

  Here is my first card. I used the gorgeous monochromatic design featuring granny apple green. This pattern is almost tropical and I love it for a thinking of you card. I added a strip of the DSP on the inside of the card and stamped the foliage image after stamping off to lighten the ink color. For the card front I stamped the sentiment using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and offset one of the images on the panel that I cut out using the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch.

 

 

  For my second card, I used a piece of the Fresh Freesia pattern. I think this paper is so pretty!  This is a clean and simple birthday card with just a sentiment stamped on a panel cut using the Tailored Tag punch and a few Rhinestone basic jewels.  Again, I added a strip of the DSP to the inside panel.  This is a good way to use up scraps and also a little touch that goes a long way toward making the inside as beautiful as the outside of the card.

 

 

  This last card features a striped pattern and I paired it with a card base cut from Shaded Spruce card stock. I added a trip of Pool Party card stock and the punch is matted with a piece of Petal Pink card stock.  I inked the sentiment with Shaded Spruce ink and stamped the bird image on a scrap piece of basic white card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored it with Stampin' Blends (Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Shaded Spruce and Soft Suede), cut it out and then mounted it on the panel using stampin' dimensionals.  I loved pulling in colors from the DSP to help me determine how to color my image.

 

 

 

  Here's one more look at my card set featuring so many of the pretty patterns from this DSP. For last-minute Sale-a-Bration product ideas and projects, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what Karla and Rachel created.

Sunday Fun Day: All about the punches card set

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing projects featuring one of my favorite tools - PUNCHES!!  I chose four punches for my card set above... read on to see which ones I used and more about each card. Both cards also feature the beautiful Hand-Penned DSP and the Friendly Hello (Sale-a-Bration selection) stamp set. 

 

 

  Please see above for the products I used with today's project. The four punches I used are shown above. Click on any photo above to hop over to my Stampin' Up! store to place an order.

 

 

  Here is my first card. I used the Daisy punch to cut out a negative image (saving the cut-out for my next card).  I loved the monochromatic pattern of this piece of the DSP in highland heather and it serves as the perfect backdrop. To add a little more interest to the flower cut-out, I used the Medium Daisy punch with highland heather card stock and offset layered the smaller flower on top with a single large  rhinestone in the center.  The sentiment was stamped with gorgeous grape ink and I added three smaller rhinestones randomly on the panel.  I cut out a medium daisy flower from the DSP in the lower corner of the panel, which is hidden by the stamped piece, and glued it to the inside of the card.

 

 

    And for my second card, I used the Daisy cut-out from my first card and added 3 more plus 3 cut-outs using of the Medium Daisy punch to build my flower (each layer was offset to show off the flower petals).  I used the dark so saffron stampin' blend marker to color a large rhinestone for the center. The leaves were cut out using the Spring punch with mint macaron card stock. I used one full sprig on each side of the flower and then cut a third on in half and added them to each side of the daisy. I glued the pieces to the back of the flower and then glued it down to the DSP panel.  The sentiment was stamped on a strip that I notched on each end using the Lovely Label pick a punch with misty moonlight ink and the little sprigs were stamped with mint macaron ink, mimicking the sprigs on the flower. Isn't this DSP pattern beautiful?  I also glued a thin strip of DSP onto the inside panel for interest.  

 

 

  Here's one more look at my punch-y card set. For even more punch ideas and projects, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog.

February 2022 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Anything Goes birthday card set

  Check out this fun set of birthday cards I made featuring the Artfully Composed DSP and Timeless Tropical stamp set for the February 2022 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!   

 

 

  This month we are sharing "anything goes" projects, which basically means no themes or product focuses, so I decided to make a set of quick and easy birthday cards since I tend to need these cards the most.  The base card colors were pulled right from the DSP: calypso coral, evening evergreen and just jade. All three cards feature a stamped panel cut out from one of the dies from the Tasteful Labels die collection and I stamped the birthday greeting with evening evergreen ink.  Easy-peasey!  For more information about each card, please read below for additional details.

 

 

  Here is the first card - I pulled the calypso coral  from the flowers in the pattern for my base card and stamped the small flower image from the set on calypso coral card stock using the same ink. I then fussy cut it and added a medium pearl jewel to the center.  The inside of the card just has a basic white card stock panel that I stamped with the same flower.

 

 

  For this card I used just jade card stock for the base and stamped the pineapple image onto basic white card stock. I inked the bottom of the pineapple with a bumblebee marker and then added some shading using a cinnamon cider marker. Lastly, I inked the leaves with a just jade marker. I love that all three colors are in the same 2020-2022 In Colors marker pack. If you love these colors, make sure you order a set before they retire in a few months!

 

 

  Here is the last card - this one features an evening evergreen base card (although it looks almost black in the photo). I inked the palm tree bases with a cinnamon cider marker that I stamped off before adding to the panel. Next, I inked the palm leaves with just jade ink and stamped onto a piece of scrap basic white card stock. I fussy cut that out with my paper snips then added it to the stamped panel as the palm leaves were too large for the die-cut.

  I love how quickly these cards came together and now I have 3 more birthday cards on hand to mail to friends and family.  For even more stamping inspiration and ideas using Stampin' Up! products, please be sure to check out the other blogs on the blog hop using the links below.

Thanks for visiting and happy stamping!!

Sunday Fun Day: Quick and easy last-minute Valentine's Day candy favors

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing quick and easy last-minute Valentine's Day candy favor ideas.  Mine started as these cute heart-shaped boxes filled with candy that I picked up at a Dollar store.

 

 

  Please see above for the products I used with today's project. They feature the cute images from the Nuts & Bolts stamp set that I colored with my Stampin' Blends markers (Poppy Parade and Smoky Slate) and cut out using the Label Me Lovely punch. Click on any photo above to hop over to my Stampin' Up! store to place an order.

 

 

  Here is my first little heart - I love this robot, so cute holding the heart. Poppy Parade stampin' blends perfectly matched the color of the plastic heart and the Smoky Slate stampin' blends are a great option for the robot images!

 

 

    And for my second heart, I used this little robot and stamped a heart in the corner (inking only the larger heart from the double-heart image in the set).  The cut panels were attached to the heart boxes with stampin' dimensionals. Doesn't get any faster than that!  For even more last-minute Valentine favor ideas and projects, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog.
