NEW Blog Hop Header
As you may be able to tell from my last few posts, I am crazy about the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies and the Botanical Gardens DSP from Stampin’ Up!  My card share today features these gorgeous flowers once again, but this time with a different color palette.  If you would like to see one of my other creations with this set, click here.

Here’s the sketch for today’s challenge.

03032016 Sketch Challenge

I just love how this card came together.  The sketch provided the perfect empty space to fill with a beautiful array of flowers.  I also love how the wink of stella provides a little extra sparkle on the Cajun Craze flowers. It is really pretty in person, but I just couldn’t quite capture it on film.

Card Recipe and Tips:

Card Base: Hello Honey 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″

Layers: Basic Black 4″ x 5-1/4″, Botanical Gardens DSP 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″

Art Piece: Botanical Gardens DSP (Hello Honey Mat), Whisper White – Labels Collection Framelits (4th from the center)

  • To create a thinner mat, I used a pencil to trace the outside edge of the labels collection framelit (4th from the center).  Then I cut it out with scissors.
  • I used my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker to draw faux stitching along the outside edge of my white die cut panel.
  • I sponged all my flowers with Cajun Craze to give them a little extra interest.
  • I added Gold Wink of Stella to the Cajun Craze Flowers to give them a little sparkle.
  • Don’t forget to finish the inside of your card for an extra special touch.

Botanical Blooms and Birthday Bouquet Revisited for the Happy Stampers Blog Hop – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

6

NEW Blog Hop Header
My card share for the Happy Stampers Blog Hop today is another card that features the Botanical Blooms stamp set and matching framelits from Stampin’ Up! paired with the Birthday Bouquet DSP.  Last week I shared this card that featured the same combination of products, but as you can see the cards are quite different.  They do go together very well though!  Could be the beginnings of a boxed set…

Feb18-Mar3 Blog Hop-5

Here is the color combination for today’s challenge.

02252016 color challenge

The color challenge was inspired by the Birthday Bouquet DSP.  I just can’t get enough of the floral images in this paper pack.  They are simply gorgeous!  I added a little Wink of Stella to the flowers to add a bit of shine.  I must say, I’m not a huge fan of glitter, but I am in love with that little brush!  It gives just a bit of sparkle without being over the top.

Feb18-Mar3 Blog Hop-6

Card Recipe and Tips:

Card Base: Watermelon Wonder card stock – 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored and folded at 5-1/2″

Layers: Whisper White – 4″ x 5-1/4″ (two – front and inside), Birthday Bouquet DSP – 3″ x 3-7/8″, Blushing Bride card stock – 3″ x 3-7/8″,

Flowers: Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride, Pool Party, Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow

  • I brushed clear Wink of Stella on the flowers on the DSP to give them a little shimmer.
  • I also used Wink of Stella on the die cut flowers and on the flower inside the card.
  • I used a sponge to add some Watermelon Wonder and Pool Party ink to the edges of my flower petals.  The effect is subtle, but it makes a big difference.
  • Use a bone folder to curl up the edges of your petals to give them more interest. I also adhered the larger flower with a Stampin’ Dimensional to give the card depth.
  • I couldn’t resist using one of the Botanical Garden Jewels Embellishments for the center of my larger flower.  Isn’t it just gorgeous!
  • I used the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the fern frond die cut. It is the perfect choice for really intricate dies.
  • Don’t forget to finish the inside of your card for an extra special touch. For this card, I wanted to try out “borderless coloring.” I colored the flower from the Birthday Blooms stamp set with blushing bride, early espresso, and mossy meadow markers and stamped it on the white card stock.  Then I used a blender pen and my ink pads to color in the flower.  By stamping my image in the colors I used to color it in, I got a flower without a black outline.  I think that this method helps the flower on the inside to better match the flowers on the DSP.

Botanical Blooms and Birthday Bouquet for the Happy Stampers Blog Hop – Stampin’ Up!

NEW Blog Hop Header
My card share for the Happy Stampers Blog Hop today features the Botanical Blooms stamp set and matching framelits from Stampin’ Up!  I cannot tell you how much I love these framelits.  It is so easy to create such unique flowers with this set.  I especially love the larger flower with the cutouts on the petals!  And speaking of flowers, how about that gorgeous Birthday Bouquet DSP!

Feb18-Mar3 Blog Hop-1

Here’s the sketch for today’s challenge.

02182016 sketch

I used this same sketch for another card a few weeks ago.  I always think it is so interesting to see just how many different creations you can come up with from one inspiration point.  If you missed my previous post, you can view it here.

Feb18-Mar3 Blog Hop-3

Card Recipe and Tips:

Card Base: Watermelon Wonder card stock – 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored and folded at 4-1/4″

Layers: Birthday Bouquet DSP (stripes) – 2-3/4″ x 5-1/2″, Blushing Bride card stock – 3-1/4″ x 3-3/4″, Birthday Bouquet DSP (floral) – 3″ x 3-1/2″

Flowers: Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride, Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow

  • I brushed clear Wink of Stella on the blue flowers on the DSP to give them a little shimmer, although it is hard to see in the photos.
  • I used a sponge to add some Watermelon Wonder ink to the edges of my flower petals.  The effect is subtle, but it makes a big difference.
  • Use a bone folder to curl up the edges of your petals to give them more interest. I also adhered the larger flower with a Stampin’ Dimensional to give the card depth.
  • I couldn’t resist using one of the Botanical Garden Jewels Embellishments for the center of my larger flower.  Isn’t it just gorgeous!
  • I used the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the fern frond die cut. It is the perfect choice for really intricate dies.
  • Don’t forget to finish the inside of your card for an extra special touch. I used a strip of the floral DSP along one side.  (Here’s a little secret… I was planning to run the strip along the bottom of the card, but I got a fingerprint smudge on the left side, which changed my plans.  In crafting there are no mistakes, only happy accidents which we can cover with embellishments!)

Variations on Wild about Flowers for the Happy Stampers Blog Hop – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

NEW Blog Hop Header
My card share for the Happy Stampers Blog Hop today shows two different variations of the card I shared with you last week featuring the Wild about Flowers stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  If you missed that post, you can see it here.  I thought it would be fun to show you how you can change the look of a card by simply using a different piece of designer series paper.

2016-jan-feb-blog hop-9

This week’s color challenge is Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey, and Old Olive.

02112016 color challenge

I used the Farmers Market DSP for each of my cards, but by changing the stamping a little, and switching up the colors of the layered panel, you get several pretty looks.

2016-jan-feb-blog hop-12

2016-jan-feb-blog hop-15

Card Recipe and Tips:

Card Base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored and folded at 4-1/4″

Layers: Very Vanilla 4″ x 5-1/4″ (two, front of card and inside panel), Farmers Market DSP 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″, Blackberry Bliss/Old Olive 2-5/8″ x 4-1/4″, Hello Honey/Blackberry Bliss 2-3/8″ x 4″

Art Piece: Very Vanilla 2-1/4″ x 3-7/8″

  • Stamp the images on Very Vanilla card stock.  Vary the height of the flowers to add visual interest.
  • Stamp just a few flowers, or layer them to look like a field of wild flowers.
  • Layer the panels for the art piece and then tie with ribbon.  I run adhesive across the back of the panel to help hold the ribbon in place.  Putting a mini-glue dot behind where you want the knot to be helps to tie neatly.
  • I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to raise up the art piece and give the card more depth.
  • Don’t forget to finish the inside of your card for an extra special touch.

NEW Blog Hop Header
The Happy Stampers are back with a new color challenge!  My card share today features the Sprinkles of Life stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  I’m always in need of cute cards for all the birthday parties my son gets invited to, and this project fits the bill.  I love how the stamp set coordinates with the Tree Builder Punch too!

Did you know that by ordering the Sprinkles of Life stamp set from Stampin’ Up! you can create fun projects and make a difference at the same time?  When you buy the Sprinkles of Life stamp set, Stampin’ Up! donates $3 to Ronald McDonald House Charities.  The set can be found on the inside back cover of the 2015-2016 Annual Catalog.

2016-jan-feb-blog hop-4

Can you believe one stamp set can be used to create clouds, trees, cupcakes, ice cream cones, or even a basket of flowers… that’s one versatile tool!

Card Recipe and Tips:

Card Base: Whisper White Thick Card Stock – 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored and folded at 4-1/4″

Layers: Mint Macaroon 4″ x 5-1/4″, It’s My Party DSP 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″, Melon Mambo 3-1/4″ x 3-3/4″, Whisper White 3″ x 3-1/2″

Art Piece: Whisper White 2″ Circle Punch, Tree Builder Punch & Candles, Mint Macaroon 2-1/2″ Circle Punch

  • Stamp the images on Whisper White card stock in waterproof ink.  Choices are Archival or StazOn Black (I used Basic Gray Archival for a softer image).
  • I used the lids of my ink pads and my aqua painter to add the color to the cupcake and candles.
  • I used Stampin’ Write Markers to color the sentiment.  Don’t forget to “huff” on the stamp to remoisten the ink before stamping.  Press down firmly for a clean image and good ink coverage.
  • I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to give the cupcake a little extra dimension and interest.
  • I fussy cut the candles with scissors.

Giggle Greetings… Age Only Counts if You’re a Cheese! – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

Today’s project is a silly birthday card featuring the Giggle Greetings stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  I just love the goofy sentiments in this set.  They are perfect for putting a smile on anyone’s face.

Giggle Greetings - Cheese (5 of 4)

I decided to use my Labels Collection Framelits Dies to create a window in the front of my card.  I like how this technique allows the stamped image to be the focal point of the front of the card as well as the inside.

Giggle Greetings - Cheese (6 of 4)

Giggle Greetings - Cheese (3 of 4)

I colored this image using my Stampin’ Blendabilities markers.  The coloring only took a couple of minutes, but it really makes the card pop!

Giggle Greetings… Sometimes Life is the Pits! – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

1

Lately life has handed me more than my fair share of bad news, so it seemed like the perfect time to have a laugh.  Giggle Greetings is the perfect stamp set to put a little bit of joy into life when life is the pits!

Giggle Greetings (5 of 6)

I don’t mean to sound negative.  My life is full of wonderful blessings too (my new job, a loving family, and most importantly my precious son).  This card is my way of focusing on the positive and bringing some humor to the situation.  I created two different versions of this card because I just couldn’t make my mind up on the design.  Which is your favorite?

Giggle Greetings (3 of 6)

For the green and yellow version, I wanted to add a bow, but I didn’t have any Cherry Cobbler ribbon.  So, I used my Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Write Marker to die a scrap of white satin ribbon.  It was super easy and did the trick perfectly!

Giggle Greetings (7 of 6)

I stamped the cherry bowl image on the inside of the card in Memento black ink.  I used a post it note to mask the greeting above and below the image.  I liked the simple sketched appearance of the stamped image, so I decided not to color it in on the inside of the card.

I like how these cards turned out.  I had fun coloring them with my Stampin’ Blendabilities markers, and as always, creating something fun took my mind off of other things.  I just love Stamping!

World of Dreams Blank Card – Stampin’ Up!

Before I get to today’s project, let me remind you that your opportunity to get $150 worth of product for only $99 begins today!  See all the details at the bottom of the post.  Now, onto today’s project, which is a clean and simple card featuring the World of Dreams stamp from Stampin’ Up!  This card was quick and simple to create.  It is blank inside, making it perfect for any occasion.

World of Dreams (3 of 4)

I started with a Crumb Cake card base, which I stamped using the leaf stamp from World of Dreams.  I used crumb cake ink, and stamped off before stamping onto the card base.  This gave my card interest, while also allowing the pattern to fade into the background.

Next, I stamped the “wheat” image (I’m not exactly sure what that plant is, but it is gorgeous!) onto a panel of Very Vanilla card stock using Early Espresso ink.  I stamped the image three times without re-inking to create depth.  Then I layered my panel onto a panel of Early Espresso card stock using SNAIL adhesive.  I tied a bow (Early Espresso) around my layered panels and added them to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I just love the feel of the new 1/4″ cotton ribbon.  It is really soft and easy to work with.

World of Dreams (6 of 4)

For the inside of the card, I repeated my stamped image from the front.  I like how simple yet elegant this card is.  I think I will send it to my uncle who has recently been diagnosed with Cancer.  The neutral colors make it seem peaceful and well suited for a man.

Hip Hip Hooray for Quick and Simple Solutions! – Stampin’ Up!

I’ll tell you what, the last few weeks have been rough!  After my difficult week last week, this week I have been sick all week!  I’m so grateful that Stampin’ Up! has provided us with quick and simple solutions for when life gets a little crazy!  Today’s project is a set of cards created with the Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit from Stampin’ Up!

Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit (3 of 5)

My mom and I created these cards together a couple of weeks ago while we were on vacation at the beach. I knew I couldn’t bring a lot of supplies with me, but I couldn’t imaging a week without some form of creative play, so I threw the Hip Hip Hooray card kit and some paper snips into my suitcase.

Mom and I had a fun time playing together and we were able to whip out ten cards in no time flat!  What is even better, is the card kit comes with enough supplies for 20 cards, so I still have plenty more materials left in my kit for next time I need a quick solution!
