Today’s lunch break featured taking a card from Pretty to WOW. Every Wednesday I do a Facebook live during lunch. You find it on my Facebook Page: My Stamp Studio. It’s a little crafting break during the week. Today, we used the Amazing Year stamp set and combined it with the Cheerful Basket stamp set and Full Basket Dies. I also upload the videos to YouTube. I have also posted the video below.
This Pretty card was made using stamps ink and paper what is commonly referred to as a SIP card. The flowers are from the Amazing Year Stamp and the sentiment, butterfly and basket are all from the Cheerful Basket Stamp set. Both stamp sets are in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. I used Stampin’ Blends (really great coloring tools) to make the flowers have some depth. Adding some designer series paper gives your card a little pop. The card has the Happy Forest Friends Designer Paper. All these products are available in my online store (while supplies last). The links for each of the products (and my store) are below- just click on any of the images.
The WOW card uses the same things as the Pretty card but we stepped it up a bit by using the Full Basket Dies, Seasonal Label Dies, some ribbon and 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds. This is an adorable card, even if you are not a cat lover. I used the So Saffron Stampin’ Blends to color the white crinkled ribbon. Added in some dimensionals and a little extra bling and texture. All products used are in my online store and shown below. Check out the “YouTube video below.
Playing around with the Hippest Hippos Stamp set a free sale-a-bration item when you spend $50 in my online store. I wanted to make some simple cards using scraps of Designer papers I have left over from some other card projects. This set is really adorable I just couldn’t help myself. Don’t wait to get your hands on this adorable stamp set- it is only available while supplies last!
This first card variation I cut strips of the Brights Designer Paper. Place a Tailor Mad Tag with some Black Bakers Twine and of course one of the darling little hippos. I colored the Hippo using Stampin’ Blends popped it up with some dimensionals and added a few glossy dots for some added bling. What do you think? All the supplies are listed below and have links to my Online Store. Did you know this set also has coordinating dies? It sure does. They are also a Sale-a-Bration item.

I love using the Stamparatus for stamping large background stamps. Watch the video below for some tips! Also in the video I give some tips on placing your images so you can punch them out without wasting a lot of paper and time. I do also love punches in fact when I first started paper crafting, I bought and entire Alphabet punch set so I could use it for scrapbooking. Boy, have things come a long way since then. I love even the simplest shaped punches like the Cloud punch I used on today’s card.

Today’s Hump Day Lunch Break featured a SIP (Stamps, Ink and Paper) card and 3 different techniques that are easy and fun to do on your paper crafting projects.
(I also have an added Bonus to share of what happens in My Stamp Studio when filming and doing lives. My Buddy, Cooper loves to be near…see the bottom of the post!)
Artfully Layered Stamp Set and Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper
I started with a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock measuring 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ to form my crad base. I then adhered a piece of the Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper measuring 4″ x 5 1/4″ to the card base. I cut a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock at 3″ x 4″ and adhered it to the card base at a slight angle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Next I took a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock measuring 3-2/4″ x 3-3/4″ and spritzed water on it using a Stampin’ Spritzer to get the card stock damp but not soaking wet. The I crumbled up the cardstock. This is referred to as the Faux Suede technique. Set it aside to dry. Once dried I peeled apart the cardstock layers one one corner and used Liquid glue to Next I took a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock measuring 3-2/4″ x 3-3/4″ and spritzed water on it using a Stampin’ Spritzer to get the card stock damp but not soaking wet. The I crumbled up the cardstock. This is referred to as the Faux Suede technique. Set it aside to dry. Once dried I peeled apart the cardstock layers one one corner and used Liquid glue to . Pretty cool hey? Once it dried, I used Liquid Glue to adhere on top of the Evening Evergreen rectangle. Pretty cool hey?
The next technique is called Rock n Roll. I inked the leaf image with Soft Succulent, then I used my Evening Evergreen Ink to rock and roll the stamp pad around the edges of the image so I would just get ink on the tips of the leaves. One tip, it is much easier to do this with a Stampin’ Spot but you can still use the normal size Stamp Pad. Once you have stamped it, fussy cut it out
The third technique used on this card was to stamp the “happiest birthday wishes” sentiment using Evening Evergreen ink on to a 4′ piece of Natural Finish Ribbon (new in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog). The key things here are to use a ribbon that is tightly woven so that the ink will stay on the fabric and not go through it. Also I used Tear and Tape to adhere the ribbon to the front of the card.

This is my Buddy, my Pal and our youngest child. Cooper! He loves to be with me- but only when he wants and it always seem to be when I am stamping. (maybe I am stamping a little too much) When it’s playtime or time for cuddles he is all in, but if you are not when he is here the shenanigans begin.
This not so little guy is about 65 pounds of sassy. He will tug at my socks or lick my toes while I am doing my lives to see if he can get my attention. And when he can’t this is what happens under my craft table.
Thanks for stopping by to visit.
Come again soon as I am always posting new things!
Today’s Lunch break featured the Happy Hedgehogs Bundles and the Charming Sentiments Bundle. The Hedgehogs stamp set is so darn adorable, who could pass up on that cuteness? The Charming sentiment bundle is super cool! We don’t have to fussy cut out sentiments any more. Each sentiment in the stamp set has a coordinating die. WOOOO HOOOOO!
Check out this adorable card. I was inspired by Emma Goddard.
I only used two ink colors for the stamping the rest is all from the Designer Series Paper.
