Fancy Friday Blog Hop - All about the Designer Series Paper!

May 30, 2019
Feather.jpg

Hello friends! It’s all about the Designer Series Paper for this Fancy Friday hop.

Do you ever have an idea where a project is going to go and then it doesn’t come to fruition? Well, that is what happened to me this round. I had grand plans to create a home decor piece using papers but I came up empty handed. I am typically a crafter who makes with a purpose and I had no idea what to make. Lol. I did however need to make Father’s Day cards and so I set off to create a few of those focused around a FANTASTIC new paper called Come Sail Away. These papers are available next week (June 4th) and are nautical in theme but also have really useable generic patterns.

Often a little snip of paper can go a really long way. On this Anchor card the blue and white stripe paper really packs a punch with just a little peek. The Anchor is from the stamp set called Sail Away and the Greeting is from the set called A Wish For Everything.

It’s hard to pick a favorite pattern from this paper pack but I might been leaning toward the old newspaper clipping sheet. It looks pretty authentic, just like it was torn out of an old newspaper. I pushed that look a little farther by tearing and stressing the edge of the paper.

The Father’s Day die cuts are from the A Wish For Everything bundle. Additional card supplies are listed at the end of this post.

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Alternates for Hugs from Shelli kit

May 30, 2019
PP graphic.jpg

Hello and welcome the the Paper Pumpkin Thing monthly blog hop where we share alternate products for the kits contents. This month’s Paper Pumpkin kit is a total treat.

First, it’s a hand curated and art directed kit put together by Shelli Gardner, the founder of Stampin’ Up! This kit truly represents her unique stye. It’s earthy, shabby and chic.

Second, this kit was offered Globally (first time). A Paper Pumpkin subscription is typically only offered in North America however for this kit customers could purchase A La Carte. Why should you care about that? Because my crafty international friends are joining us for this hop to share their alternate projects. MORE ideas is a great thing! There are 28 of us for this edition. This is sure to be a stunning showcase, so don’t miss a stop.

This kit is called Hugs from Shelli. The stamp set in this kit is my favorite. It includes a feather image that I just LOVE. I made a few alternates just focusing on the feather from the set.

I like full size cards so many of my ideas have cut down the original components so that I was able to double up and use them for full size cards. For example, cut one of the notecards in half. Use the front on a full size card (see nest card below) and use the back to stamp your own pattern. I created a simple feather pattern on this card below. Deconstruct the envelopes to create patterned paper. And … if you chop the labels in half you have effectively doubled the cards you can create from this kit. All you really need to add is the cardstock color of your choice.

This distressed base note card is perfect all on it’s own. Stamp directly on the card for a simple stamping look. #simplestamping. Step it up by adding a cut out feather and a little twine.

This flower image from the stamp set is darling. I’ve stamped this image multiple times and colored using Stampin’ Blends. These images have been hand cut out and arranged on this card. The striped paper is cut from the inside of the envelopes.

Pet cards - TGIF Challenges Gingham Challenge - TGIFC213

May 23, 2019
TGIFC213.jpg

Hello friends! Today the TGIF Designers are playing with gingham! And using the Gingham Gala designer series papers are a perfect choice for this challenge. Have you seen this gingham paper stack? It’s so cheery and packed with a small and larger gingham patterns in five bright colors. I decided to pair these papers with the Cat & Dog stamp sets from the Occasions catalog. The cat stamp set is called Nine Lives and the Dog set is called Happy tails. Each set has a coordinating animal punch.

The cat card is created with the smaller gingham check using the negative shape of the cat punch. Get more out of your punches using both the positive and negative shapes. The cat shape is super cute as a silhouette. The cat is adorned with a little paper flower built from the Bitty Blooms Punch pack. Simple and fun idea.

The dog card uses the larger gingham check for the background. The dog has been stamped in Versamark and heat embossed on Lemon Lime Twist card stock. The dog shape has been punched from Whisper White cardstock and used to frame the stamped image. Both cards use the same elements and similar layout.

The sentiment on BOTH of the cards comes from the Nine Lives stamp set and it works great for both cat and dog lovers.

I’ve used this Gingham Gala paper a ton! It’s available for $11.00 until the end of May. See more fun projects using these papers at the end of this post. Also, supplies for these projects can be found at the end of this post.

Ready to see more Gingham inspiration? Play along with us. Details on how to play along are on the TGIF challenges blog. Check it out!

The sentiment is from a brand spanking new greeting set (Sending Salutations) available in May, courtesy of prize patrol at OnStage. I returned from Long Beach to Maine and what we call “fake spring”. Haha, maybe sunny long enough to clean the yard? #stampinup #sendingsalutations #cardmaker #cardmakingideas
