Happy Birthday Card from Paper Pumpkin – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

1

Last week, as I dealt with everything that was going on in my life, I realized I had a friend with a birthday today.  I was so grateful to have My Paper Pumpkin kit from July all ready to go.  I sat down and in a matter of minutes I had a cute birthday card all ready to go!  Everything I needed was in that box!

July 2014 Paper Pumpkin (3 of 3)For the inside of this card, I used the little star stamp that came with the Paper Pumpkin kit to create a cute border.  I stamped each star image three times without re-inking my stamp to create some added dimension.

July 2014 Paper Pumpkin (5 of 3)The July Paper Pumpkin kit came with everything I needed to make 6 cards and 6 cute gift boxes.  So far, I’ve only created this one card, but I can’t wait to delve into the kit to create some more fun items.  I started a new job this week as the Instructional Technology Specialist at my school.  I will be working with teachers to help them integrate technology into their classrooms.  I think the little gift boxes will be perfect for little treats for my teachers when they try something new!

Swallowtail Sympathy Card – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

2

Today’s project is a clean and simple sympathy card featuring the Swallowtail stamp from Stampin’ Up!  This card was created in honor of my dear friend who passed away last week.  My thoughts and prayers go out to her husband and the rest of her family.  I hope that this card will bring a small moment of comfort to them as they deal with their loss.

Swallowtail Sympathy Card (5 of 5)I started this card by adhering a panel of Blackberry Bliss to a Rich Razzleberry card base.  You can’t see that very well in the picture, but in person the blackberry bliss mat for the butterfly panel adds a little extra contrast.  next I stamped the Swallowtail image on a panel of Whisper White card stock using Versamark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

Swallowtail Sympathy Card (4 of 5)I used the resist technique to sponge over my embossed design with Rich Razzleberry ink.  Then I wiped the embossed image with a paper towel to remove the ink that had stuck to the embossing.  Next, I stamped the “With Sympathy” sentiment from the Bloom with Hope stamp set (hostess reward) in Blackberry Bliss ink.

Swallowtail Sympathy Card (3 of 5)

Finally, I tied a bow with Rich Razzleberry 1/4″ cotton ribbon around my white panel and adhered it to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Swallowtail Sympathy Card (6 of 5)

For the inside of my card, I stamped the sentiment from Bloom with Hope in Blackbery Bliss ink.  Then I added some butterflies from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set in Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss ink.  I used the same stamps to add some butterflies to the envelope too.

Swallowtail Sympathy Card (7 of 5)

I think the image of a butterfly is perfect for a sympathy card.  Butterflies are a symbol of transformation.  This card brings me a little peace as I think about the passage from this life into the next.  I know my friend is in a place of love and serenity now.

Artist Trading Cards Collaborative Project – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

2

Today’s project is a special collaborative project created by several members of an online stamping group that I participate in.  Each of us designed an Artist Trading Card (ATC), which measures 2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″, and duplicated it 10 times.  The cards were mailed all around the country and the project you see here is the result.

ATC Grid Project (17 of 17)

This project is similar to another grid project I participated in a few months ago.  If you missed that one, you can view it here.  Here are some close-ups of each individual card.  Because I wanted to create a 3 x 4 grid to fit inside a 12″ x 12″ shadowbox, I ended up creating a few extra ATCs of my own.

World of Dreams Notepad – Stampin’ Up!

Hello Stampers!  Today’s project is a notepad featuring the World of Dreams stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  As soon as I saw this stamp set in the catalog I knew it was one I just had to have!  I love a stamp set with beautiful silhouetted images!

World of Dreams Notepad (3 of 4)

For instructions about how to create your own beautiful notepads with the perfect measurements, please see my previous post here.

World of Dreams Notepad (1 of 4)

I love these notepads.  They are perfect for brightening up the corner of your desk and they make awesome gifts!  In this case, I made a whole set of them and gave them as favors at my sister’s bridal shower.  I thought that the sentiment was lovely for commemorating the beginning of my sister’s new life with her husband.  You can also add magnets to the back of these pads and keep them on the refrigerator.  You can purchase business card magnets with adhesive on them from most office supply stores.  They are perfect because they are strong enough to hold the pad in place on the fridge.

Hello Love Bridal Shower Card – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

Last night I hosted my sister’s bridal shower.  This card is one I created for her using the Hello Love stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  Hello Love is one of the stamp sets you can earn as a hostess (or if your personal order reaches $150).  Isn’t it just adorable?

Hello Love Wedding (2 of 6)

I love the Hello Love stamp set because it is very versatile.  The word bubble is blank and there are a variety of sentiments you can place inside… plus that little bird is just too darn cute!

Hello Love Wedding (3 of 6)

For this card, half of the sentiment is on the front, and the other half is inside the card…

Hello Love Wedding (6 of 6)

When I first saw this stamp set in the catalog, it did not catch my eye.  It wasn’t until I noticed the sample project in the catalog that I realized just how cute this set could be.  I’m so glad that I decided to snatch this one up!

I hope you will consider selecting me as your demonstrator for your stamping needs.  I would love to help you get your very own copy of the Hello Love hostess set.  You can email me at handcraftingheather@icloud.com if you are interested in scheduling a party or class.

A Little Kindness with Kinda Eclectic – Stampin’ Up!

Okay, I know I said I was probably not going to post this week since we are so busy with preparations for my sister’s wedding, but what can I say… I got a burst of energy and decided to get to typing!  Today’s project is a cute card created with the Kinda Eclectic stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  This set is one that was at the top of my “must have” list for the new catalog.  I just love it!

Kinda Eclectic (5 of 6)

I’ve been playing around with layering and different uses for my Designer Series Paper this week.  I just love the Typeset DSP that I used for the torn banners on this card.

Kinda Eclectic (2 of 6)

I am also enjoying combining multiple images to create dynamic backgrounds.  This is a little different than my usual style, but I like it!

Kinda Eclectic (3 of 6)

For a finishing touch on the inside of my card, I stamped the polka dot border image and some butterflies on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock.  I love how the polka dots have words inside them.  It gives the stamp added texture and interest and also made it a great partner for the Typeset DSP.

Flower Frenzy Frames for a Wedding – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

As many of you know, my sister is getting married this week.  For today’s project, I wanted to share one of the signs that we made for the wedding using the Flower Frenzy Bigz Die.

Flower Frenzy Wedding Signs (7 of 12)

If you have ever planned a wedding, you know that there is a lot of signage needed, reserved signs for the family, a thank you message for the gift table, instructions for the photo booth (all the rage at weddings these days), etc.  Of course, you know I couldn’t just put a plain old framed sign out there… what a perfect opportunity to make our signage something beautiful for the wedding using dies and punches from Stampin’ Up!

Flower Frenzy Wedding Signs (8 of 12)

For the flowers, I used the Flower Frenzy Die, Fun Flower Punch, Pansy Punch, Petite Petals Punch,  and the flower from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch.  There isn’t a magic combination, I just played around with layering the different shapes and came up with something that I liked.

Flower Frenzy Wedding Signs (2 of 12)

Here are a few tips I discovered along the way…

  • Use lots of layers & curl them with a bone folder.
  • Sponging the edges of the petals makes a world of difference!
  • Attach the layers together with Stampin’ Dimensionals to make them pop!
  • Use Stampin’ Blendabilities markers to color the pearls in the center (I used the Bronze marker from the skin tone assortment for the largest flower).

By the way, the actual signs were digital downloads purchased from Pineapple Soup Printables on Etsy.  We were able to purchase several custom signs that met our needs.  Lisa was great to work with and she got our order together very quickly.  Here are the other signs she created for us.  I would highly recommend working with her if you need any custom signage for any event.

I think these signs turned out beautifully and they will add a touch of whimsy and a pop of color to my sister’s wedding.  The frames would also make a great gift for someone you love.  Imagine giving a treasured photo of a grandchild in a beautifully decorated frame!  The possibilities are really endless.
