Do you ever wonder what to do with those leftover pieces of Designer Series Paper? I mean they are too pretty to just toss out right? Well, stop saving those scraps and start using them. Today’s Hump Day lunch break share quick and easy card and uses some leftover papers. Check out the video below- and make sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel to see all of the crafting videos!
My Original design was a Halloween themed card using the Witch Builder punch, but so sad that the punch is no longer available and won’t be returning…
It’s a good thing I had some other scraps handy. I decided with the Cottage Wreath bundle.
Today’s Hump Day Lunch Break was about using one card layout (or sketch) to create mutliple cards by simply swapping out stamp sets. The goal was to feature Stampin’ Up!s beautiful cardstock colors. The colors featured in today’s Live are the same colors that have been posted to the Ink Trail team Color Challenge. Each month, we have a Color Challenge and a Sketch Challenge that we participate in. We make projects using the colors or sketch that have been posted and we share our ideas with each other. If this is something you would be interested, I invite you to join my Ink Trails Team. Would you like to learn more or participate in a team meeting? Please reach out to me and I will send you an invite. October’s Team meeting is in person and a zoom meeting, October 16th at 6:30 pm (central)
now on to our cards…
Our first card uses the colors below: Starry Sky, Parakeet Party and Balmy Blue. And these are the pieces for our card layout. I used the Layering Circle Dies and the Decorative circle punch to cut out the cardstock pieces. You can easily use and punch or die shapes
To showcase our colors and sketch layout, I thought I would be fun to use the Gnomes dies. Did you know that the Kindest Gnomes stamp set and Gnomes dies are the featured products in this months Studio Card Club? You can see more information and register for that class by going to the Studio Card Club page.
We used the same Card layout for the second card and just swtiched out the colors and stamp set. This time I used the Snowman Magic Bundle. (Snowman Magic Stamp set and coordinating Snowman dies). This is such an adorable set. I have had quite a bit of fun making cards using this set. Check out this blog post: for more Snowman Magic Ideas.
Today I had to change up our normal Hump Day Lunch Break live to a Dinner Break Live. Sometimes, life just interrupts our plans but I had this cute card I couldn’t wait to share with you. It use the Bewitched Bundle and is a Fun Fold that i really quick and easy to make.
To create this card I started with a piece of 8-12″ x 5-1/2″ Gorgeous Grape card stock. I scored it at 2″, 4″, 6″ 8″ on the 8-1/2″ side. I then formed the opened ended box. Check out the video to see how I adhered shut. I had two strips of Black & White Designer Paper that measured 1-3/4″ x 5-1/4″. I adhered these to the front panels. Using the Stylish shape (Circle) dies I have one in Highland Heather and the second circles lightly smaller in Basic White. I used Gorgeous Grape and stamped or using the Alphabest stamp set. On a scrap piece of basic white. I stamped the Witches hat and punched out using the hat builder punch. From basic white scraps measuring 3/4″ x 1-1/2″ I stamped Trick and Treat using Gorgeous Grape Ink. To finish off the card,
I used the Glossy Gems embellishments to ad a little glimmer and shine to the card. All products can be found in my online store by clicking anyone of the images below, or click HERE
Today’s Hump Day Lunch Break featured the Let’s Set Sail Stamp Set and coordinating punch along with the Rays of Light Background Stamp. A quick card to show how amazing background stamps can really add depth and focus to a card. Add a few extras and voila a card fit to give!
Measurements
Balmy Blue Cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, 4″ x 2-1/2″
Basic White: 5″ x 5-1/2″, 4″ x 5-1/4″ (inside of card) and scraps for stamped pieces and punched items
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!

I only used two ink colors for the stamping the rest is all from the Designer Series Paper.
