Merry Christmas to All - Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop

November 15, 2018
Artisan Logo.jpg

Hello crafty friends! Welcome to November’s Stampin' Up! Artisan blog hop. This month we are featuring the Merry Christmas to all Bundle, the Making Christmas Bright Bundle, All is Bright Designer Series papers, and other coordinating products. These items are ideal for the holiday season and we hope this hop inspires your holiday crafting! You’ll see these products can be used in a variety of ways and the Artisan design team has a boatload of ideas to share with you. My creations for this round are a Christmas card and a Christmas tree ornament/gift tag.

Merry Christmas to All (1 of 7).jpg

Highlights from the Merry & Bright Card:

I think my favorite sheet of paper from the All is Bright Designer Series papers is this Crumb Cake colored bokeh sheet. I know it may look plain to some but it looks so good when you stamp on it. I stamped the word ‘bright’ over and over in Crumb Cake to created a similar bokeh look for the background.

The ‘Merry’ word is cut from Gold Glimmer paper and the rest of the card is built from there.

The lightbulb images from the Making Season Bright stamp set coordinate with all of these products as well, bringing in a graphic and bold look. I’ve stamped the bulb with the STAR image in Cherry Cobbler. I added a few more small stamped stars to the background paper as well at star clips from the All is Bright paper clips assortment.

Wreath Ornament tag highlights:

This wreath ornament will also function as a gift tag. I’ll use it to dress up a gift and then, after gifted, the recipient can use it to place on their tree. I’ve adorned the wreath using a variety of products mentioned above. A full product list can be found at the end of this post. The wreath was purchased at the local hobby store.

One highlight I’d like to point out on this ornament is the red berry pearls. These white pearls were colored using Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends. The little holly leaves were stamped in Call Me Clover and hand cut. The tree is a paper clip from the All is Bright clips. The clip has been inserted into the tag.

Happiness Surrounds 1a b.jpg

Snowflake Showcase 2 - Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop

November 1, 2018
Artisan Logo.jpg

Hello friends! Welcome to another Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team blog hop. In this hop we are featuring products from the Snowflake Showcase promotion. These products are available to purchase TODAY, November 1! All items are offered while supplies last.

Happiness Surrounds is the stamp set I got to play with for this round. We were asked to create at least one project only using the stamp set and then one project using the stamp set and the dies. This set is so versatile. I decided to create projects that can be used year round … not just for winter. Are you ready to see some BRIGHT projects. Lol. Got your shades ready? These cards are blinding but I love how saturated these colors look together.

Paint, paint paint! The background for the Positive Thoughts card is pretty simple to make. You’ll need a wide (about 1”) flat paint brush. I used Stampin’ Up! classic ink to paint the stripes directly onto watercolor paper. I tried to keep the paint fairly dry to create a hard lines between colors. The wetter the paint, the soupier it gets. You may need to test a few times on basic scrap paper to get the consistency right. I painted a full sheet of the watercolor paper and then cut down to size to create the hard edges on the right and left. The colors used are: Calypso Coral, Pineapple Punch and Pumpkin Pie.

The medallion image has been stamped in black and then accented with black faceted dots.

I stamped the border image from this set along the left and ride sides of the card using the Stamparatus to easily repeat. Then, I covered most of this image up with the watercolor piece so that only a small bit of it shows to create a little scallop border.

This bright Congratulations card using the dies to layer and accent the black stamped image. I was going for bright little bursts of flowers and I think I achieved the look! Each flower is first stamped and heat embossed in with black emboss powder. Then I added a little watercolor top of each flower, trying to have each color bleed into the next. Each flower center has a white pearl added that has been colored in the coordinating Stampin’ Blend color. A full list of colors and card making supplies can be found below.

Country Home - Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop

October 18, 2018
Artisan Logo.jpg

The Artisan Design Team is back again to share projects using the Country Home Stamp set. This is a beautiful stamp set perfect for fall. I’m sharing two projects today

My first card uses Stampin’ Blends to color the stamped images from Country Home. This card also features the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions folder and Champagne Shimmer paint.

Country Home Card (4 of 13).jpg
Country Home Card (6 of 13).jpg

I’m really digging Shimmer paint. I find you can make a little go a long way when you dilute with rubbing alcohol. I added the diluted Champagne Shimmer paint directly to the embossed Pool Party card stock with a sponge dauber in a circular motion. The paper soaks up the paint quickly but also dries quickly.

I paired the pitcher image with the cattails flower arrangement image. After stamping and coloring I hand cut out using a hobby blade. I wanted to get a super close trim on this image and a hobby blade allowed me to get into the nooks and crannies of the leaves. I outlined the cut out image with a black Stampin’ Blend to finish off the look.

Country Home Card (9 of 13).jpg

This next card features the cattails image colored with Stampin’ Blends. I stamped two the images back to back to create a floral swag and trimmed out. The greeting has been stamped in black ink and die cut using an oval from the Stitched Shape framelit dies. The outside edge of the oval and the perimeter of the card has been painted with Champagne Shimmer paint using a sponge dauber.

Country Home Card (12 of 13).jpg

Have you had a chance to play with, or check out, the Take Your Pick tool? This multipurpose pickup and precision tool simplifies meticulous tasks. There is a tacky putty end to easily pick up sequins, paper accents, and other small objects; twist to dispense more putty. The other end has 2 changeable, double-ended tips with paper piercer, mini spatula, small stylus, and large stylus. I find the putty end indispensable and have been using it non stop to place small embellishments. It’s so easy to use! Refiles are available for the putty end. The tool retails for $10.00 USD. The two-pack refill retails for $3.50 USD. A list of additional project supplies can be found at the end of this post.

Are you ready to see what the Artisan Design Team has in store using Country home? Up next is the talented Connie Collins. Thanks so much for visiting and sharing your comments with me.
