Fancy Friday Blog Hop

November 29, 2018
Feather.jpg

Hello friends! I have some exciting news. I’ve been asked to join the Fancy Friday blog hop. The Fancy Friday team is a group of talented Stampin' Up! Artisan's, both past and present. We hop once a month, on the last Friday of the month. I love my Artisan friends so much and I am thrilled to be able to continue to craft with them every so often.

This month we are sharing our Christmas cards. My personal Christmas card this year is a hybrid card (part photo printed and part handmade). I did use some Stampin’ Up! products and my design skills to create the card, however my printed versions have not arrived in time to share. My original prototypes look pretty lame. So … I’ll share those another time. Stay tuned!

Instead, for this hop and to send to a few neighbors, I’ve made a fairly simple card using the Snow is Glistening stamp set and the Snowflake dies and embellishments. This is an easy card to create multiples of and I was able to create 10 quickly. FYI - Today is the last day to order the Snow is Glistening and other snowflake products.

Bonus! I created a second card for a few crafty girlfriends using one of my favorite Host sets called ‘Hung With Care’. The stocking images are adorable stamped in a single color. Perfect for simple stamping and stepped up a notch. Buyer beware. Never use the hashtag ‘hung with care’. Oops.

Are you ready to go? I’m so exited to see what these FANCY gals have in store. Next up is Cindy!

What is Paper Pumpkin? Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription craft kit full of goodness from Stampin' Up! Every kit includes a stamp set, supplies, ink and projects instructions. 

What is this hop all about? The designers participating in this hop take the monthly kit and put their own spin on the projects providing alternate ideas for you and various ways on how to use the kit supplies.

This kit has to be my most favorite in a long while. I love the look and the elements are super easy to use in a variety of ways. I was able to create a bunch of alternate cards and used tons of the little snippets to create coordinating treat boxes.

Beauty Abounds - Global Design Project Sketch Challenge - GDP166

November 26, 2018
GDP166.jpg

What a sweet little sketch we have for you this week. My card features some sneak peak products from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! Occasions catalog. This card looks like a picnic on a summer afternoon. Super fun. #GDP166

2 new Product sneaks: Beauty Abound stamp set, Gingham 6x6 paper stack.

Couple of things you might miss on this card … 1. See the little chevron border? This was created using the Delicate Lace edgelits. 2. In the large square rectangle I’ve stamped a large swirl piece and heat set with white emboss powder. You can see this better in the image below.

Do you like this sketch? How might you interpret it? Check out the Global Design Project blog to see what the other designers have created for this challenge play along with us! Happy stamping.

Beauty Abounds - TGIF Challenges Technique - TGIFC187

November 23, 2018
TGIFC187.jpg

Hello friends! Happy Thanksgiving.

Time for a TGIF technique challenge. This week we are playing around with sponging. There are many ways to sponge. I choose to create a gradient background on glossy white cardstock with sponge daubers and classic ink. Glossy cardstock is very forgiving and allows you to sponge and blend ink easily.

Do you spy some new products? This card features some sneaks of fun new products available in January from Stampin’ Up!

The stamp set is called Beauty Abounds.

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.
