Simply Sketched - sneak peek

Hi Stampin' Friends

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.  For me, it's so nice to be home and relaxing.  It was a whirlwind 2 1/2 weeks in California and I am enjoying the peace and quiet back home.

Today's card features the Hostess Stamp Set called Simply Sketched.  I'm also using the new Ginger Garden Designer Series Paper for the background.

I love the blue and yellow combination - it just screams Spring!  

The ladies will be making this card at the Big Shot class on Wednesday, 29 May 2013.  I have one opening left if you live in the Bella Vista, AR area and would like to attend.  Just let me know and I'll send you all the information.

They will learn how to make the roses shown on the card using a die cut (non-SU).  I was going to add a ruffled bow right under the roses on the left but I didn't want to make it too complicated or difficult because two of the ladies are beginners and I would not want to scare them away (LOL). 

The sentiment is from the hostess stamp set, Simply Sketched, and is available with a qualifying order.  Though it is not very clear in the picture, I put the bottom strip of DSP through the Big Shot using the Delicate Designs Embossing Folder and then die cut using the Large Scallops Edgelits Die. 

 

If you need any supplies, please visit my Stampin' Store for 24/7 service - I would love to be your demonstrator!  You can also e-mail me at [email protected] or call me at (479) 876-7453 and I'll place the order for you.

Thanks for Stopping by today!

Happy Birthday to my best friend Becky

Hi Stampin' Friends

It seems like such a long time since I've posted a card!  I made this card for my best friend Becky but couldn't share it before I gave it to her.

The card show cases the Artisan Embellishments Kit which did not make it into the new catalog.  I will have to stock up on this kit because I love using it for my cards.  The leaves are the the Bird Punch.

The top layered was embossed using the Simply Scored Diaganol Plate #125586.  The embossed image above the Happy Birthday is from the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder which is retiring this month (whaaaaaaa).

Every morning I spend a couple of hours working on my business and my granddaughter plays on her computer while I'm working.  The room we are in is my son-in-law Gary's "man cave".  We are sitting at the bar.

This is the outside I see when working at the computer - not a bad place to work!   If it wasn't so hazy outside, you could see the ocean and the Channel Islands.  Hmmmmmmm, maybe they will let me move in!

Thanks for stopping by today!

I had so much fun making this card - felt like a little girl playing with paper dolls!  I used the Dressed Up Framelits die to die cut the dress using the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper.  The polka dot dress reminds me if the 1950's - I remember having a polka dot dress but it was navy blue with white polka dots.

The inspiration for this card came from Pinterest.  I love that site, I could get lost and lose so many hours surfing that site!

The button and ribbon is part of Sale-a-bration's Sycamore Street's Ribbon Pack and the sentiment is from the Petite Pairs Clear Mount Stamp Set.  The base card is Calypso Coral Card Stock - did you know this color is retiring?  I use this color a lot when I use the Tea for Two DSP but they are both going away this May so grab the colors before they are gone!

The ladies at my Big Shot class scheduled for Monday, 29 April 2013 will be making this card the card found here.

I made a mistake when I put this card together.  Can you guess what it is?  I didn't even notice it until I took the picture and was adding it to this blog.  Oh well!

Hi Stampin' Friends!

The  inspiration for this card came for Vickie Burke, a fantastic, very talented demonstrator.  I love her watercoloring!

I used the image of the hydrangea flower from Best of Birthdays Clear Mount Stamp Set.  

With spring comes green grass, blue skies, and of course flowers! Then what could be better for our March “Best Of” set than a collection of the best flower stamps from the past quarter-century? This set also includes a never-before-seen flower image that coordinates perfectly with our 1-1/4" Scallop Circle punch.

Note:

As a special incentive to collect the Best of stamps, SU is including a collector's card and 25-year proof of purchase sticker with every Best of set. Collect six stickers, and send it in to redeem a FREE set of your choice valued up to $14.95! Free sets must be redeemed no later than April 30, 2014.

The image was stamped twice with Brown Stazon (retired) on Very Vanilla Card Stock.  I then colored in one of the images with a blender pen and More Mustard for center of flowers, Night of Navy for the flowers.  The flower part of the image was then cut out and set aside.

Only the leaves and the stem were colored in Lucky Limeade in the second image.  I then punched it out using the 2 1/2" Circle Punch.  It was then layered onto Night of Navy Card Stock which was die cut using the Delicate Doilies Sizzlets Die.

The background paper (embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder) is from the Fan Fair Designer Series Paper and the base card is Night of Navy Card Stock.  

The last thing I did was to lightly spritzed the card using the Color Spritzer Tool and the Night of Navy Stampin' Write Marker.

Vintage Verses Shabby Chic

Hi Stampin' Friends

Shabby Chic is back!  Lately a lot of my cards have been something other than shabby chic and I started to make a masculine card using the Dapper Dan Clear Mount Stamp Set but it ended up looking like this!

Oh well, I'll start on the masculine card tomorrow - maybe.

I used bits and pieces from the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper and a left over piece of the gorgeous lace from the Artisan Embellishments Kit.

The "just because" image from the Sale-a-Bration Vintage Verses Clear Mount Stamp Set was stamped in Pretty in Pink on Very Vanilla Card Stock.

It when then embossed using the Designer Frames Embossing Folder and then die cut using the Labels Collection Framelits.

The flower is from the 5/8" Flower Trim and was lightly brushed on the tips with the Pretty in Pink Stampin' Write Marker.

The leaves were made using Certainly Celery Card Stock and a non-SU die.

If you need any supplies to make this card, visit my Stampin' Store and if you are ordering, use the Hostess Code QDDNBSZA and your name will be entered in the Mystery Hostess Contest (details on blog tomorrow).

NOTE:  I could not list the Vintage Verses set because it's Sale-a-bration and no longer available.  I also could not list the Certainly Celery Card Stock because it's no longer available.  So if there is anything you want from the retired colors, order now before they are gone!

Hi Stampin' Friends

Dressing up your cards and projects has never been easier! Easily cut stamped dress image from the All Dressed Up Clear Mount Stamp Set using the Dress Up Framelits Die.

Love this set - all the cards I've seen using this stamp set have been adorable. The ladies will be making this card and one other (watch blog for 2nd card in the next coming week) at the Big Shot Class scheduled for Monday, 29 April 2013.  Instead of one card that looks the same for all attendees, I'll provide a different DSP for each card with coordinating card stock.  It will be so much fun to see what they all look like.

If you live in the Northwest Arkansas area and would like to attend, please contact me at (479) 876-7453 or [email protected].  RSVP deadline is 22 April 2013.

I also decided to use the funky cute, adorable clips (Hung UP Clips) with the dress.  The dress was made from the Pool Party Designer Series Paper and The ribbon around the dress is Whisper White 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon.  The rose is non SU.  The base card is Baja Breeze Card Stock (sniff, sniff) which will be retiring this Spring.

Amazing Family

Hi Stampin' Friends

Hope you had a wonderful weekend and happy belated St Patrick's Day!  My Husband and I had our first date (Lunch at the Shadows!) on St Patrick's Day a long, long, long time ago!  We dated briefly before moving on and marrying other people but then we found each other again.   Our life together was meant to be!

The Amazing Family Clear Mount Stamp Set is very vintage and on trend.   It is so versatile--and perfect for both Mother's and Father's Day.   It coordinates with the Amazing Accent Stampin' Around Standard Wheel.

This started out as a spring like card but then I discovered I do not have "yellow" card stock in my supplies!  I usually add items to my supply list before I run out but in this case I forgot.   I always think of spring when I come across a black and white card with a "yellow" pop of color and since this weekend was gorgeous, I wanted to make a "spring" card.  But since I didn't have yellow card stock, I decided to use red card stock.  The red color gives the card a more formal look.  What do you think.

Maybe I'll make the same card but with a yellow accent to see which one I like the best.  Well, I better add So Saffron, Daffodil Delight and Summer Starfruit to my list before I forget.

The flowers and ribbon are non SU.

If you need any supplies, please visit my Stampin' Store for 24/7 service.  Or if you like, send me your list and I'll be more than happy to place it for you.

Ears to You

Hi Stampin' Friends

Todays' card features the whimsical cute Ears to You Single Stamp.  When I picked these colors, I was thinking Easter but after looking at it it could also be a welcome baby card!

I stamped the images in Pink Pirouette on Whisper White Card Stock.  I then selected one of the three bunnies to cut out with my Paper Snips.  I did this two more times in Baja Breeze and So Saffron.  Yes, I used more card stock then I would have had I colored in the images with Stampin' Write Markers and then stamped on Whisper White Card Stock.  But it was easier and quicker to stamp it 3 times in the 3 different colors.  I don't remember where I found the cute little cutton balls but I've had them for a long, long time but if you didn't have cotton balls, large pearls would work just as well.

The Whisper White Circle inside the Delicate Doilies Baja Breeze Card Stock was die cut using the retired Circles #2 Sizzix die.

The background paper is from the Subltes Collection Patterns Paper Stack.  Because I wanted the sentiment to fit in the Bitty Banners Framelits, I generated it in My Digital Studio and then printed it out on Whisper White Card Stock.  The one that comes with the stamp is much too large.

If you need any supplies, please visit my Stampin' Store for 24/7 service.

Best of Flowers

Hi Stampin' Friends

Stampin' Up! is bringing back some of your favorite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into 12 sets, which will be released - one set per month - during 2013.  Best of Flowers Stamp Set is the 3rd release for the year.

I love, love the bouquet of flowers image in the stamp set.  It was stamped with Versarmark on Watercolor Paper.  I then added Early Espresso Stampin' Emboss Powder and set with the Heat Tool.

I colored in the image using Pink Pirouette, So Saffron and Perfect Plum for the flowers and Old Olive Stampin' Write Markers for the stem and leaves.

The background (Fan Fair Designer Series Paper) was embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and layered onto Naturals White Card Stock (base card).

The gorgeous lace ribbon is from the Artisan Embellishments Kit.  It's a good thing I ordered several kits because I've used a lot of the lace ribbon from these kits.  I sure hope they carry it as a separate item in the annual catalog.

If you need any supplies to make this card or any other project, please visit my Stampin' Store for 24/7 service.  Or I'll be more than happy to order any supplies for you - just send me your list.

Elegant Butterfly

Hi Stampin' Friends

I saw this technique on Pinterest (love that Pinterest!)  I'll have a video showing how to do the double embossing sometime next week because  I have a head cold and you don't want to hear my voice right now (LOL).

The Very Vanilla Card Stock was embossed using the Perfect Polka Dots and the Designer Frames Embossing Folders.  That was layered onto Floral District Designer Series Paper.  The butterfly is also from the same DSP and was punched out using the Elegant Butterfly Punch.

The sentiment is from the Bring on the Cake Stamp Brush Set and was printed out on Very Vanilla Card Stock and then die cut using the Bitty Banners Framelits.

The base card is Rose Red Card Stock.

The Open Sea - Masculine Monday

Hi Stampin' Friends

Hope you had a wonderful weekend.  My husband is off skiing so I'm enjoying a couple of days by myself!

This card is for my son-in-law Gary who lives out in California.  He has a beautiful view of the ocean from his house so I thought using the Open Sea Stamp Brush Set on his card would be perfect!

The image was printed on Very Vanilla Card Stock using the My Digital Studio.  I colored in the sea in Island Indigo using the coloring tool in MDS2.  The background DSP is the Fan Fair Designer Series Paper and I love the sheet with the world atlas in muted colors.  The base card is Island Indigo Card Stock.

Layered Labels

Hi Stampin' Friends

I never would have thought of using the color Summer Starfruit but it was one of the coordinating colors in the Pool Party Designer Series Paper.

The sentiment is from the Layered Labels Clear Mount Stamp Set.  The four-piece set coordinates with the Large Oval Punch, 1" Circle Punch, and our Apothecary Accent Framelits Dies.

The image was stamped with Starfruit Classic Stampin' Pad on Whisper White Card Stock and then die cut with the Apothecary accent Framelits Die.

The Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon was colored using the Summer Starfruit Stampin' Write Marker.  I then distressed the ends with the Paper Piercing Tool.

I didn't use our 5/8" Flower Trim because those roses are off-white and too much of a contrast between the Whisper White and Very Vanilla.  I used the roses from my "secret" stash and brushed the ends lightly with the Starfruit stampin Write Marker.

Thanks for Stopping by today!

Everybunny

Hi Stampin' Friends

This has to be one of the cutest stamp sets in the annual catalog.  It's called Everybunny and I love all the animal images in it.  It has four fluffy bunnies, three matching mushrooms, two cute chicks, and one egg-stra special egg plant.

The bunny image was stamped on Watercolor Paper with Jet Black Stazon. I then colored in the image with an aqua painter and Marina Mist, Soft Suede, Pretty in Pink and Old Olive Classic Stampin' Pads.

To get the top die cut, I used the Labels Collection Framelits and only fed the watercolor paper through the Big Shot about 1/4 of the way.  Then I reversed it.  I then cut the sides and bottom out with my amazing new trimmer!

The smooth & sassy Marina Mist 3/8" Striped Organdy Ribbon is from the Spring Catalog.

Vintage Verses

Hi Stampin' Friends

Punxsutawney's Phil predicts spring will come early this year.  So let's celebrate with a spring like card featuring the Vintage Verses Clear Mount Stamp Set available only during Sale-a-bration.  Coordinates beautifully with the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper.

The base card is Island Indigo Card Stock and the doily is from the Artisan Embellishments Kit from the Spring Catalog.

The roses are still part of the stash I discovered when we moved last year and the Olive Satin String Leaves I ordered from an online store.

The sentiment is from the Vintage Verses Clear Mount stamp Set and was stamped on Whisper White Card with Island Ingo Classic ink.  It was then die cut using the Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies.

More Amore

Hi Stampin' Friends

I guess I'm in a shabby chic mood because here's another shabby chic card for you.  I really love the More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper and plan to order more since we can use so many of the sheets for other occasions.  

The base card is Very Vanilla Card Stock which was die cut using the Hearts Collection Framelits and then embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.  The DSP was also die cut with the Hearts Collection Framelits.

The roses are from the 5/8" Flower Trim.  I used the Very Vanilla 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon which was heated with the Heat Tool to give it that scrunchy look.

The hat pins are from a major box stores and the pearls and crystal are from Wally World.  I wish that Stampin' Up! would go back to selling these pins again - I love them!

This card is for my daughter Deena - this is so her!  She loves everything shabby chic!

Beautiful Birthday

Hi Stampin' Friends

This is the perfect card for an old friend from work.  I haven't seen her in several years but we do keep in touch through birthday cards and Christmas cards.

I'm not sure what the technique is called but I brayered Crumb Cake Classic Ink directly on the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and then embossed it on Very Vanilla Card Stock.  

The rose is part of the stash I found when we moved last year.  The ribbon is the Very Vanilla 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon.  Love it because of it's silky feeling and that you can manipulate it with the Heat Tool to give it a scrunchy look.

The leaf is from a Non-SU framelits that was also embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.

Thanks for Stopping by today!

Hearts a Flutter

Hi Stampin' Friends

Today's card is the one I'm sending to all my online orders for the month of January. 

 

The hearts are from the Hearts a Flutter Clear Mount Set, the Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit and the Happy Valentine Heart Stamp Set.  

The Real Red Card Stock was embossed using the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and the lace is the new Delicate Details Lace from the Spring Catalog.

I think everything else is pretty easy to figure out.

If you need any supplies, visit my Stampin' Store for 24/7 service.  Or if you like, send me your wish list and I'll place the order for you.

Thanks for Stopping by today!
