At Home With You - What Will You Stamp

September 18, 2017
wwys_134_At Home With You.jpg

At Home with You is the featured set for with weeks What Will you Stamp challenge. The team has created some great projects to help show you how you might use this set. The set has so many versatile verses images to help you create a darling little front porch scene. I like all the small ancelary images in the set and chose to make two fall and a Christmas themed card. This stamp set also has coordinating dies. Fun stuff! Check out what the team created over on the WWYS blog.

My two fall cards use the exact same stamped and colored image.  Mix up the card colors and lay out and you get two very different looking cards.

I miss textured card stock .... Sorry this card uses some old paper that is no longer available. Oops! Sometimes I pull something out of my scraps and don;t realize until later that it's no longer around.

Merry Cafe - Stamp Review Crew

September 17, 2017
Stamp Review Crew blog banner(2).png
144965G.jpg

How about a cup of CHEER?! Merry Café if the featured set this week for the Stamp Review Crew.  This cheerful set is packed full of fun images for all sorts of occasions. I chose to combine a few of the images together to create my own sentiment for a fall themed card about apple cider.  It is apple picking time in my neck of the woods. That means pie, cider and other apple yumminess.  This card will come in handy this season.

This card also features the Burlap background stamp.

The Stamp Review Crew is a group of International Stampin' Up! demonstrators who want to show you how much you can do with one stamp set. Fun idea, heh? Each unique blog hop will feature one stamp set. Each stop along the hop will show you a different idea, or ideas using that set! Looks like I am the lucky one who starts this hop off. Next up on the Merry Café stamp review is the talented Karen Gooch, thanks for stopping by and happy stamping!

TGIF Challenge - Transportation theme

September 15, 2017

Hey guys! It's a theme week over at TGIF challenges. The theme this round is TRANSPORTATION! 

Maybe it's by land, maybe it's by sea, maybe it's by air - let some form of transportation be your inspiration (bike, balloon, wagon, car, plane, horse.... you get the idea, right?)!!! 

I made two projects this week. a card and simple tag. I really wanted to use a few new products from the Holiday catalog on my transpiration theme card. As I looked through the catalog i had quite a few choices ...  I ultimately used these cute Christmas cars from the Christmas Around the World designer series paper.  I started with the hand cutting out the car and then decided to create a little wonderland scene using the Hometown Greetings framelits.  I needed a way to contain all of these fun images so I winged it and created a snow globe using a circle die and a little piece of the Wood Textures designer series paper. Hopefully it looks like a little snow globe on the center of my card?! If not, it's just a scene contained in a circle. LOL.

Check out what the talented team created using this theme on the TGIF Challenges blog and play along this week. Happy stamping.

Supplies for both projects are listed out below.

A sweet card for a sweet friend! We are CASING the amazing @tinkermom85 this week @global_design_project - I love how Wendy stamped on patterned paper to add a quick pop of color. I took a similar approach and stamped the berries from the 'Filled with Sweetness' stamp set onto red patterned paper. The green stems were stamped directly onto Garden Green cardstock and then cut out and layered onto the red berries. Play along and tag your project #gdp544 The acronym CASE typically stands for Copy And Share Everything (or sometimes Copy And Selectively Edit). It refers to finding inspiration in another person's card design-such as layout, colors, or techniques, and recreating it, either exactly or with minor changes. #stampinup #filledwithsweetness #cardmaker #cardmakingideas
Water & ink. I used water and classic ink to create this soft pastel card. Paper: watercolor paper. I used a variety of flower punches from my collection to create the multi-layered flowers. This card has so much dimension and is meant for hand delivery! 🤣 Use your stash! #stampinup #useyourstash #cardmaker #cardmakingreel

When I think of pastel I think watercolor. For this month our 'Use Your Stash' theme is PRETTY PASTEL. I pulled out the 'Good Greetings' stamp set and heat set the large greeting with white emboss powder. This greeting is so pretty. Then, I water painted a peachy color over the top for a soft & airy look. For the flowers I painted a few pink and peach multi-color washes and then punch out using various flower punches. The flower centers are irridescent rhinestones. Stampin' Up! products you can still purchase: Basic White cardstock, Fluid 100 watercolor Ink colors: Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Cloud Cover I can't wait to see what my friends pulled out from their stashes for this challenge. UYS is a monthly instagram hop where my friends and I get crafty and use what we have on hand to create a project around a certain theme. Use those supplies! Follow along below. @i.heart.stamps - You are here! @hammondandpenny @simple_stamper @bellestampinwithann @simplyfairies_kimfee @stampin_met_monique @vickiboucher @craftsomnia #useyourstash #papercraft #cardmaker #stampinup
Cute little chicks lined up in a row … I was eyeballing it to try my hand at stamp alignment with this new Stampin’ Positioner tool. My free form is not perfect, but it doesn’t matter in the end when you mount your card crooked. 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥 🤣 Stamp set is called Easter Basket and it’s on the last chance list.
