Stampin' Up! Seaside Bay Casual Stamper Card!

Hey there! Where has this week gone? It has flown by, and I feel like I didn't accomplish much, although I know I did do a lot of different things. Yesterday evening my husband commented that the first week of the year was almost over with only 51 weeks left! Wow! That definitely puts it in a different perspective, doesn't it?

Today's card is a step-up card from the Seaside Bay beginner card I shared with you yesterday. Today's card is very similar to yesterday's but I stepped it up with just a few additions; the Seashells 3D embossing folder, the new Small Blending Brushes, and new Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls.

I did all of the stamping before I ran the 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Very Vanilla through Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Seashells 3D embossing folder. After embossing I used one of the new Small Blending Brushes (they are so cute and are perfect for precise ink blending!) to add Balmy Blue ink around the outer edges of the layer, and a little bit on the raise embossed images. I added a single Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearl  for a little sparkle.

I used another sentiment from Season of Chic to complete this thank-you card.

Stampin' Up! Happy New Catalog Day With Seaside Bay!

Hey there! I had to skip posting yesterday. I had Fiona on Tuesday night and yesterday, and while she is a joy to have around, she also keeps me hopping! I'm late posting today for the same reason, but she is due to go down for her nap in a bit so I should find enough time to get this post finished!

Happy New Mini Catalog Day! I had a chance to play with the Seaside Bay bundle a few days ago for a little gathering I had with a few of my team, the Yes Mam! Stampers. I will be sharing specific details for each card over the next few days, as well as the cards they contributed to the evening (it was a shoebox swap).

For today I am just sharing a picture of the three cards I created with the Seaside Bundle for my shoebox swap. We each chose a bundle from the Product Purchase Premiere we were able to order earlier than other demos because we attended the OnStage event in Indianapolis, Indiana back in early November. We decided to follow the guidelines of creating a beginner card, a card for the casual stamper, and an avid stamper card. Can you tell which one is which???

Be sure to check back here tomorrow where I will be sharing the details for my beginner card!

Meanwhile, I need to give you the details for the new January/April 2023 Mini Catalog that started today!

Stampin' Up! Nuts About Squirrels!

Hey there! Today I am sharing a couple of cards I created with the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set. I saw a set of cards posted by Stampin' Up! online featuring this stamp set along with the Hello Harvest Bundle and Fancy Frames Dies and couldn't resist making a couple of my own versions!

For my first card I stamped the squirrel using the Stamparatus to get a good solid inking, then hand-cut it out with my Paper Snips. I stamped the pumpkin from Hello Harvest with Soft Succulent ink, then colored with the Light Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends alcohol marker. I added Light Crumb Cake to the pumpkin stem, then used the Stampin' Blends Color Lifter to remove some of the Soft Succulent ink in the center of the pumpkin.

After cutting out the pumpkin with a Rustic Pumpkin Die, I added it over the leafy rectangle I had cut with the Fancy Frames Dies and the Soft Suede leaf from the Leaf Label & Amber Gem pack. I used some of the Amber Gems too for some sparkle, and tucked a couple of Open Leaf Trinkets between the layers, securing with glue dots.

I added some subtle shimmer to the pumpkin with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. I also highlighted the squirrel's eye with a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker.

I stamped a greeting from Nuts About Squirrels with Cajun Craze ink on a scrap of Basic White, then used my Paper Snips again to cut banner points on each end.

The second card I created I cut the leafy rectangle from Soft Succulent, adding a layer of Adhesive Sheet to the back before running through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. When I removed the protective backing of the Adhesive Sheet the cut pieces mostly fell out with it and it was ready to adhere to the card front! I stamped the squirrel again with Cajun Craze ink and the Stamparatus, then cut with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies. This saved a lot of time and stress vs. hand-cutting with the snips.

Instead of using the Leaf Label & Amber Gems pack I stamped the leaf from the Hello Harvest stamp set with Soft Suede ink. I stamped again without re-inking, then cut them out with the coordinating Rustic Pumpkin die. I added copper pearls from the Brushed Metallic Dots pack.

Inside I stamped another sentiment from Nuts About Squirrels and added a couple more leaves to tie in with the card front.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments Baby Card!

Hey there! Today I want to share with you the card I created for the gifts I gave to my daughter-in-law, Faith, at the baby shower I helped give for baby Wesley.

I found some adorable paper at Hobby Lobby to wrap the gifts, then looked through my stamps and dies to see what I had to coordinate. I decided to use the Enchanting Details Dies and Charming Sentiments stamps to create my card.

I started with a card base of Basic Gray, then added a 5 3/8" x 4 1/8
 layer of Mango Melody. Before I added the 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Smoky Slate I used a Blending Brush to softly swirl Basic Gray around the edges. I then added the garland die-cut from Balmy Blue card stock, the moon & stars die-cut from Mango Melody, and the Cloud punched from Basic White. I used a Black Stampin' Write Marker to add the faux stitching around the cloud and the sleepy face. To make adhering all of the die-cuts easier, I added Adhesive Sheet to the back of the card stock before die-cutting.

Before adhering the moon & stars I sponged the edges with Mango Melody ink. I used the same Basic Black marker to add another sleeping profile face and a q-tip to softly add a bit of cheek color with Polished Pink ink.

I stamped the greeting from Charming Sentiments with Basic Gray ink. I added a single Heart Pearl to finish off the front.

I stamped another sentiment from Charming Sentiments on the inside and used the moon & stars die to cut a stencil to sponge the shapes on the inside.

Stampin' Up! Amazing Thanks Baby Shower Thank-You!

Hey there! I've been MIA again, but I've been busy, not sick! I've been babysitting for Fiona a lot, and helping throw a baby shower for my soon-to-be 15th grandchild, Wesley Logan. Of course there are birthdays to celebrate almost every month and October is no exception!

Today I wanted to share with you the baby shower thank-you card I designed for my lovely daughter-in-law, Faith, to use to send out in appreciation for all of the gifts she has received at the three showers she has been given, for this much loved and awaited baby boy! Faith is a speech therapist at two local hospitals, so in addition to the shower I helped her mom throw, her work-mates also surprised her with a shower at each hospital.

Wesley's nursery and the shower I helped with both have a safari animal theme, so I used the Elephant Parade stamp set with the Amazing Thanks dies and Artistic Mix Decorative Masks to create this:

I tried to keep this card as simple as possible, but you know me, even simple gets a little bit busy most of the time! ha ha!

I started with a Smoky Slate card base, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4", then I turned the card to a landscape presentation.

I then cut a layer of Balmy Blue card stock 4 " x 5 1/4". On the right side I stamped the elephants (there are three different ones in the Elephant Parade stamp set) randomly with Balmy blue ink. I adhered the layer to the card front with Stampin' Seal.

I then cut a piece of Basic White 3 1/2" x 5". I laid one of the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks over the white layer, secured with a couple of pieces of Post-It Note Tape (I bought the tape on Amazon), then gently swirled Balmy Blue ink over the mask using a Blending Brush. I cut the finished layer in half at 2 1/2", then added the 2 1/2" x 3 3/4" piece to the left side of the card front with Stampin' Seal.

I cut a piece each of Smoky Slate and Basic White 1 1/2" x 3 1/2". I added a piece of Adhesive Sheet to the back of  the white layer before cutting both with the thanks dies from the Amazing Thanks die set. The solid die cuts a solid outline for the detailed "thanks" word. I removed the backing from the white
thanks word before adhering to the Smoky Slate layer. I adhered to the card front with snippets of stampin' dimensionals. I added a single Heart Pearl as the finishing touch.

Inside I stamped the sentiment from from Flowers of Friendship with Tuxedo Black ink on a 3 1/2: x 5" layer, as well as one of the elephants with Balmy Blue. I adhered this layer to a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Balmy Blue, then adhered it all to the inside of the card. I stamped the elephant on the front lower left corner of the envelope.

I also stamped another Flowers of Friendship sentiment on the envelope flap and I was done!

Note: to make this card a little bit easier and more safe to mail, when Faith & I sat down to make 80 of these we used Adhesive Sheet on both layer of the die-cut "thanks", and eliminated the stampin' dimensionals and the heart pearl.

I also completed all of the envelope stamping before the shower so we could put an envelope at each seat so the shower guests could fill out their address to make Faith's job a little easier when it was time for her to write the thank-you's.

Stampin' Up! Polished Pink Elephant Parade!

Hey there! Today I have another card for you created with the Elephant Parade stamp set, but this time I also used the coordinating Elephant Dies and made my own background with the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks and a Blending Brush!

To create the Polished Pink plaid background, I laid the plaid design from the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks over a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White. I held it in place with a bit of Post-It tape, then used a Blending Brush to lightly swirl Polished Pink ink over the entire layer. I kept adding more ink until I had the intensity I desired.

This time I stamped all three elephant babies from the Elephant Parade stamp set with Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers, and then cut with the coordinating Elephant Dies!

I colored each elephant baby with the bullet tip of the Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends marker, then went back over the wrinkles an areas I wanted to highlight with the same marker to darken. I wanted the inner ear to be darker than yesterday's elephant, so I colored first with a Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blend, then I layered a Light Real Red Stampin' Blend over it. I did this because I currently cannot find my Polished Pink Stampin' Blend. lol!

I lightened the center of the ears with the Stampin' Blends Color Lifter.

I used the Stylish Shapes dies to cut the Smoky Slate stitched squares behind each elephant baby, as well as to cut out the greeting.

I tied my loopy bow again with White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. I wrapped the White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon around the designer paper layer, which I had adhered to a Basic White layer of the same size for stability, tying in a simple knot. I then looped more of the same ribbon around four of my fingers to create three loops and slid the loops off my fingers. I gave the gathered loops a twist before laying them over the first tied ribbon knot and then tied the ends around it all. I trimmed the ends of the ribbon and then added a glue dot under the knot to keep it in place. 

I finished off the front with Heart Pearls.

Inside I used a phrase from Charming Sentiments, as well as the butterfly and flower sprig from Elephant Parade.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Prints from Stephanie!

Hey there! I'm sorry there was no blog post yesterday. Sunday night when I was working on my post the  online service I use to add my watermark to my photos refused to work properly, so I took it as a sign that I needed to just go to bed, so I did! I was extra tired from a busy weekend of a stamping party on Friday night, a craft fair on Saturday, and the usual church and family dinner on Sunday. I even got to babysit for Scarlett for a couple of hours Sunday night! It was a weekend, but I was tired.

So today I'm starting a series of sharing some special swaps I have received over the past few months that I have been saving for just such a series! So expect to be wow'd over the next few days, ok?

The card I'm sharing today was created by my friend Stephanie Flath!

Stephanie used the Nature's Prints stamp set and an easy ink-dragging technique to give this card a unique look!

Stephanie started with a strip of Basic White, then used the open ink pad to drag some color on it. She started with Fresh Freesia on the left side, then dragged some Pool Party, then Old Olive, and finally Daffodil Delight. After she let the ink dry a few seconds she stamped the  foliage spray with Tuxedo Black ink randomly.

She stamped the greeting from Nature's Prints with Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White, then stamped the same greeting again on a scrap of Daffodil Delight. She used Paper Snips to cut closely around just the "heartfelt" word on the Daffodil Delight, then added it to the full stamped greeting. She cut it out with a Stylish Shapes die, then added to her card with dimensionals. She added a couple of  Pool Party Glossy Dots.

Before she added anything to the card front she used the splatter stamp included in Nature's Prints to add more interest to the  bottom edge of the card, then added a Daffodil Delight Glossy Dot.

This technique and card layout would be perfect for many different types of cards! I'm going to use both in the near future!

Stampin' Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Hey there! We are currently on our way home from Branson after spending a lovely weekend away. You would think with grown children we would have more time alone, but we really don't. We spend a lot of our time, especially me, with our kids and grandchildren, and of course Mark is still farming, so we do really enjoy our annual anniversary trip. We saw some shows, did some shopping, and ate good food!

Today I am sharing my usual Sunday Swap Day card with you. Today's cards feature the Happiest of Happy and Wild & Sweet stamp sets!

First, a faux Center-Step card by Amy Rich with the Happier Than Happy Bundle and Happy Forest Friends Designer Paper:

Next, Laura Milligan did her white space magic with the same Happier Than Happy Bundle and Happy Forest Friends Designer.

Lanine Pohlman also used the Happier Than Happy Bundle, cutting the bear directly out of one of the sheets of Happy Forest Friends Designer Paper with a Happy Forest Die.

 

She turned her side-fold card into a gift-card holder.

Alejandra Gomez used the Timber 3D embossing folder on the Sahara Sand layer, before adding the strip of Happy Forest Friends Designer paper. The greeting is from the Cottage Rose stamp set, the die she used to cut it out is from the All That Dies, the Mossy Meadow square was cut with a Stylish Shapes die, the ribbon is from the Old Olive and Sahara Sand Twill Ribbon Combo Pack, and the Brushed Brass Butterfly is discounted on the Weekly Deals right now!

Lynn Feldkamp used Wild & Sweet stamps with the Fern 3D embossing folder, tearing, and sponging with Blending Brushes or Sponge Daubers.

Finally, Carol Slack combined the black-and-white look of the Wild & Sweet Panda with Parakeet Party.
