Ridiculously Awesome Easy and Quick Cards

September 25, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Even though this is a sentiment only set, I just love it for making quick cards. Add some ink, designer paper, cardstock and you are ready to go. You can always add a punch or a die to cut out the stamped sentiment. Add a little bling for that somethin’ somethin’ and you are all set to send it out. You could even make a stack of cards to have on hand. Breaking news…there is a Designer Paper special coming soon.

This first card I used just Jade card stock because it matched the flowers for every season DSP I selected. I embossed the first layer with the Subtle 3D Embossing folder and added my layer of designer paper. I then choose to use Bumble Bee ink for the sentiment I stamped on whisper white card stock and cut out using the Painted Labels dies. If felt like the card needed something more so I stamped two daisies from the Daisy Lane stamp set and punches them out using the medium daisy punch.

This second card, I choose a card stock for the base that was not listed in the coordinating colors as I thought it still went well with the DSP. I choose the Blushing Bride card stock and used Just Jade for my first layer and die cut shape from the Painted labels dies. I then stamped my sentiment in Just Jade and used the Stitched to Sweetly dies to cut it out.

Autumn Press On Cards

September 23, 2020 / / 0 Comments

I just love the new Press On Stamp set featured in the August- December Mini catalog.  Who doesn’t love coffee or cocoa (well at least the smell is amazing even if you don’t like the taste.)  I was playing around trying to come up with some ideas for swaps using this stamp set and these are just a few ideas.  Below are the items I used to create these cards.  But you can switch it up based on the colors you are drawn to or the designer papers you have on hand.

Anyone purchasing $35 or more in my online store using the host code for Sept 23-27 will receive a tutorial from me that has the instructions and a list of products for 5 different cards.  To get this tutorial, simply order in my online store and then send me an email to let me know this is the tutorial you would like.

Basic Tools to start on your Crafting Journey

Basic Tools to Start with

September 10, 2020 / / 0 Comments

One of the most common questions I get is “what tools do I need to start Stamping and Paper Crafting?” 

 Well here is my answer:  Start small with some basic tools such as a Trimmer, Snips, Bone folder, Shammy (a way to clean stamps), and adhesive.  You will also need a clear block to use with cling or photopolymer stamp sets.  I recommend the “D” block and then add more as you need based on the stamps sets you purchase.  All of the stamps in the Stampin’ Up! catalog

Painted Poppies- Quick Birthday Card

February 14, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Today’s card features the Painted Poppies stamp set. I wanted to show you cards you can make using just the stamp set. This was a quick an easy card and used very few supplies: Stamp, Ink, Paper (and some ribbon- I just love ribbon).

I started with the card base and randomly stamped one of the poppy images using Poppy Parade ink to achieve a tone on tone effect for the card base.    I then went to create the card front by stamping the larger poppy using Memento Tuxedo Black ink just slightly off center on one of the Whisper white pieces.  I then stamped the stem in black as well but did not include the small flower that was part of that stamp.  Using Poppy parade classic ink I stamped the background image stamp over the stamped poppy.  I then took the smaller splotch image, inked it in Poppy Parade and stamped this over the large poppy flower and the poppy flower bud.  Using Old Olive classic ink, I stamped the small splotch over the stem and leaf.  Using the Sale-A-Bration Sending You Thoughts stamp set I added Happy Birthday. At that point I was ready to layer the front of the card.  I centered the stamped whisper white piece on the basic black card stock.  I then placed this just slightly to the left of the card base.  To finish off the front, I add a bow using the whisper white crinkled seam binding.

To make the inside of the card, I used the field of poppies image and stamped a small portion on the lower left of the second piece of whisper white card stock.  Using the small splotch image I added poppy parade ink and old olive ink.  I stamped the “Another sensational year of you” sentiment from the Sale-A-Bration Sending You Thoughts stamp set. I adhered this to the inside of the card base.
