You can see the projects featured in the video in a little more detail below!

___________________________________________________________

Snow Is Glistening Joy Tree Card—The 4" x 5-1/4" Watercolor Paper background is stamped with Snow Is Glistening dots in Pool Party ink, then an Aqua Painter was used over the top to create a soft color wash.  The tree was stamped in Pear Pizzazz onto Pear Pizzazz cardstock, then trimmed out by hand and popped up with Dimensionals.  The Soft Suede tree trunk was also cut out and popped up.  The sentiment was embossed with white onto Basic Gray cardstock, then die-cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  The card is finished with some Snowfall Thinlits White Velveteen Paper snowflakes, Rhinestone Jewels and a Snowflake Trinket.

 

Snowfall Blizzard of Snowflakes Card—The sensational die-cuts from the Snowfall Thinlits are featured on this card!  The snowflakes were cut from a combination of Balmy Blue cardstock and Silver Glimmer Paper.  I love the swoosh of snowflake flurries in the snowflake florish die-cut!  Add a silver embossed greeting, some White Baker's Twine, some Gray Granite Texture Weave Ribbon and Rhinestones for a beautiful blizzard of wishes!

Snowfall Merry Christmas Card—Oooh!  The large snowflake is die-cut with the Snowfall Thinlits from the White Velveteen Paper for a soft, flocked velvet texture.  The smaller snowflake is embossed in gold and the sentiment is embossed in white.  Love these pretty layers with some soft Call Me Clover stamping and sponging peeking from underneath.  The White Polka Dot Tulle Ribon adds a lovely texture at the bottom, too.

 

Happiness Surrounds Hello Friend Card—The Happiness Surrounds stamp set coordinates beautifully with the Snow Is Glistening stamp set, but it is versatile enough to help you with projects all year round!  The graphic elements, leaves and flower images and die-cuts combine here for a sweet hello friend card.  I love how the flower can double as a snowflake layer depending on the season!  Other items used on this card include Adhesive Back Sequins, Petal Pink Silver Baker's Twine and Stitched Shapes Framelits for the circle background.

Congratulations Floral Medallions Card—Again, you can see the awesome versatility of the medallion layers on this Happiness Surrounds card. The medallion was stamped on Wood Textures Designer Series Paper, and the stamped elements were die-cut with the Snowfall Thinlits!  So, so pretty for any time of year!

Picture Perfect Birthday Confetti Cards

You can never have enough birthday cards, so I'm adoring the fun Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set!  It's filled with fun sentiments and lots of two-step elements that combine to create birthday candles, party horns and gift bows!  And, they coordinate so well with the cute images on the Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper! 

 

 
PIcture Perfect Party DSP—This 6x6" pack of paper is so versatile!  There are 48 sheets, including 4 each of 12 different double-sided sheets.  One side has cool, realistic photograph imagery of birthday items like balloons, bows & party horns, while the other side has fun birthday patterns with confetti and stripes themes.  The colors are bright, cheery and fun, too! 

 

Background Basics—I selected four different Picture Perfect Party DSP patterns to create the panel backgrounds.  Each style was cut to a 1" x 3-1/2" strip, then adhered to a 4-1/2" x 3-3/4" layer of Basic Black cardstock.  It's mounted onto a Lemon Lime Twist card base.

Sentiment Oval—I stamped a Picture Perfect Birthday sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the right side of a Whisper White Stitched Shapes oval.  Next, I stamped the solid rectangle stamp from Picture Perfect Birthday in Pool Party and Lemon Lime Twist to create the candles.  I stamped the stripes image over the top of the one candle in Bermuda Bay, then topped both candles with a Crushed Curry colored flame.  I finished by stamping the confetti image three times around the greeting in Berry Burst ink.

 

Finishing Touches—I mounted a 4-1/4" x 1-1/4" Berry Burst banner onto the card front, then popped up the greeting with Dimensionals.  Then, I added a few Tutti-Frutti Sequins around the sentiment for more confetti fun! 

 

 
Two Cool—I used all the same Picture Perfect Party DSP patterns on the second card, I just changed up the card base to Bermuda Bay cardstock.

Amazing Accents—This time, I stamped a different Picture Perfect Birthday greeting and added a party horn image.  The horn is created with several elements.  The curled up end was stamped first in Lemon Lime Twist, then the fringe was stamped on the top with Crushed Curry.  I used the same rectangular image that I used for the candles for the base of the horn in Pool Party ink, then added stripes in Bermuda Bay.  How fun!  The rest of the sequins and confetti images are the same.

Perennial Birthday Blooms Cards

The new Perennial Birthday stamp is so adorable!  It's designed to be used with the equally lovely Perennial Birthday Project Kit, but the stamp set is amazing on its own! 

 

Perennial Birthday Project Kit—I LOVE the delightful Perennial Birthday Project Kit!  It includes everything you need to create 4 each of 4 styles of birthday cards, and it comes in a pretty storage box. There are even monthly "perpetual birthday" calendar dividers to help you organize your cards throughout the year!  The only thing you have to add is the Perennial Birthday stamp set!  I'll have more information on this amazing kit on tomorrow's blog, so stay tuned!

 

Perennial Birthday Stamp Set—The blooms and bits in the Perennial Birthday stamp set are so sweet, but all of the birthday sentiments are my true favorites!  This was a must-have set for my collection, and I've already found myself using it on card after card this season!  I know you'll use it a lot, too! 

 

Funny...today's Perennial Birthday cards do not even feature the sentiments that I love so much!  That's because they are projects from my Kickoff Party and I had already used many of the greetings from this set on other cards from this 20-Card class!  I was mixin' & matchin'!

 

Background Basics—I created a Crumb Cake card base with a vertical fold for this card.  I embossed a 4-1/4" x 1-1/2" piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock with the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Texture Impressions Folder and attached it with a couple strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive and SNAIL for a secure hold.

 

 

Bitty Blooms—I stamped the Perennial Birthday flowers onto a 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" layer of Whisper White in the following order:

• Stamp the larger oval blooms in Sweet Sugarplum ink randomly over the piece.
• Stamp the leaves in Pear Pizzazz ink on each bloom.
• Stamp the dotted image between the blooms in Flirty Flamingo ink.
  
• Fill in the blank spaces with the small flowers in Peekaboo Peach ink.

After adhering the layer to the card front, I added a 4-1/4" x 1/2" strip of Flirty Flamingo card stock over the seam. I also tied some pink Love Mini Tinsel Trim around the card front into a double-knot for a little sparkle & shine.

 

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped a greeting from the Watercolor stamp set in Sweet Sugarplum onto Whisper White, then punched it with the 1/1/2" Circle Punch.  It's mounted onto a Crumb Cake label punched with the Everyday Label Punch, then popped up with Dimensionals. 

 

 

 

Two Cool—The second card features the same elements in blues!  The strip on the background was changed to Bermuda Bay and I added the gold Love Mini Tinsel this time. I used Island Indigo for the oval flowers, Pear Pizzazz for the leaves, Wisteria Wonder for the dots and Pool Party for the small flowers.

I also tried a sentiment from another kit, the Lots of Happy Card Kit, for this version, stamped in Island Indigo ink.  Which color combination do you like best?

Sure Do Love You Recessed Heart Cards

My brand new January Stamp-of-the-Month features the NEW Sure Do Love You Valentine's stamp set!  It's part of the lovely Painted With Love suite of products and heavily features the beautiful painted patterns of the coordinating Painted With Love Designer Series Paper!  We'll me creating both of these cards with the class kit.  You can see the complete class details here: Sure Do Love You Stamp-of-the-Month Class Kit.

Background Basics—I adhered a 4" x 5-1/4" panel of the Powder Pink/Calypso Coral pattern from the Painted With Love DSP to a Powder Pink card base for the gorgeous background.  I LOVE those elegant gold foil accents...and you'll find them on every sheet in this paper pack, along with a pretty, full-color, non-foil print on the back.  So many possibilities!

Recessed Window—I die-cut a Lots of Love Box Framelit heart shape at the top of a 2-3/4" x 4-1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock to create the window.  Next, I stamped the Sure Do Love You leafy heart border around the window.  The entire layer is popped up with lots of Dimensionals for a fun recessed window look!

Bundle It & SAVE—Order the Sure Do Love You stamps and Lots To Love Box Framelits together in a bundle to save 10%!

Hearts & Accents—I started by adding a Gold Foil heart, die-cut with the Lots To Love Box Framelits to the center of the heart window with Dimensionals.  Then, I stamped two of the cute Sure Do Love You conversation hearts in Calypso Coral onto Whisper White, then die-cut them with same framelits and popped them up, too.  I finished by adding a 1/8" Calypso Coral Ribbon bow with a Glue Dot.

Sweet Sentiment—I finished up by stamping the Sure Do Love You banner sentiment in VersaMark ink onto Powder Pink card stock, then heat-setting it with Gold Embossing Powder until glossy & smooth.  There's a die-cut for that shape in the Lots To Love Box Framelits, too!  It's popped up with more Dimensionals. 

Two Cool—My second version begins with a different pattern from the Painted With Love DSP mounted onto a Rich Razzleberry card base.

Happy Hearts—This time, the leafy border is in Melon Mambo, and the other two conversation hearts are in Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry.

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the sentiment in Calypso Coral on Whisper White card stock.  I love the way the bold color really pops on this one!

Hi Stamping Friends!

 

I'm so excited to announce that I've earned the Stampin' Up! 2015 Getaway Trip!  This year, it's an all-expensive paid, 4-day trip for two to Newport Beach, California!

Oval Window Sheltering Tree Cards

I had so much fun creating my May Stamp-of-the-Month class featuring the Sheltering Tree stamp set.  This is such a lovely & versatile set!

 

We'll be doing the first card featured above at my class on May 14!  Class-To-Go kits are available!

 

  

 

CASEd from Tina Rappe at Stampin' Studio.   

Oval Window Card Base—I started with a Crisp Cantaloupe card base and ran through the Big Shot with the Oval Collections Framelit on the card front. Next, sandwich the card front inside the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder and run through the Big Shot for the texture.

TIP: This folder is just wide enough to barely fit through the Big Shot going horizontally, so make sure it's positioned to roll through straight with enough clearance.  If it's crooked, it may crunch the edges of your folder and possibly ruin the hinge. (Ask me how I know!) If it is a little tight, trim off some of the excess folder at the bottom of the folder.

 

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Sheltering Tree sentiment in Soft Suede onto a 1/2" wide strip of Whisper White, then cut it down to fit.  The ends are fish-tailed and adhered over the oval window with Dimensionals. 

Modified Tri-Fold—This card has a modified tri-fold opening.  I scored an 8" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White at the 4" mark and adhered it to the inside of the card, opening on the left-hand side.  The inside of my card is blank, but you could easily dress it up with some flowers and another sentiment from the same set.

 

Blooming Tree—I stamped the grass in Pear Pizzazz, then added the bare tree image on top with the Soft Suede ink.  The blossoms are stamped once with Crisp Cantaloupe ink and once with Strawberry Slush ink.  I finished the picture with a Soft Suede stamped tree swing.  So cute!

 

Two Cool—I tried a second version with a Soft Suede card base.

 

Sweet Sentiment—This time I moved the sentiment down to the bottom of the oval.

Hi Stamping Friends!

I have a nephew and niece who are both being confirmed this month, so I created his & hers Confirmation cards.  Congratulations, Marcus & Cassie!

Both of my two cool cards feature the beautiful Something Borrowed Designer Series Paper!  These cards could be used for a wedding, baptism, first Communion—so versatile!

Background Basics—I layered a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Something Borrowed DSP onto a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of matching Sahara Sand card stock, then adhered it to a Whisper White card base.  For a little sparkle, I added a 3-7/8" x 1-1/4" strip of Silver Glimmer Paper.  This is the old Silver Glimmer Paper style that is now retired, but I thought it matched the paper better than the current Silver Glimmer Paper. 

TIP: You could get a similar look by coloring the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper with an Aqua Painter filled with rubbing alcohol and Sahara Sand refill ink.

 

Woodgrain Cross—I didn't have a stamped image of a cross, so I created my own cross using a 2" x 1/2" strip and a 3-1/4" x 1/2" strip of Sahara Sand card stock.  I ran the pieces through the Big Shot using the Woodgrain Embossing Folder, then adhered them together with Glue Dots. 

Congratulations Medallion—I stamped the circular sentiment from A Fitting Occasion in Sahara Sand ink onto Whisper White, then added a fleur de lis image from the set inside the circle.  It's punched out with the 1" Circle Punch, then layered onto a 1-1/4" Scallop Circle punched out from the old Silver Glimmer Paper. 

I adhered the scallop circle to the cross with Glue Dots. The cross is popped up with Dimensionals on a Whisper White Labels Collection Framelits die-cut. 

 

Finishing Touches—I added four Sahara Sand Candy Dots in the four corners of the Label die-cut layer to give it a finished look.

 

My girl version uses the flipside of the same Something Borrowed DSP for a more feminine look.

 

Adorned With Flowers—This time, I added some Itty Bitty Accents Punch flowers from the old Silver Glimmer Paper.  I used my Bone Folder to poke in the middle of each flower to bend the petals upward, then adhered them to the cross with Glue Dots. I topped each one with a medium Pearl Jewel. The foliage, punched from the Bird Builder Punch, fills out the bouquet.

 

I traded the Candy Dots for large Pearl Jewels to anchor the label shape.  Pretty!

Complete Supplies List

• Stamps—A Fitting Occasion (wood) card #1
• Ink—Sahara Sand Classic Ink
• Paper—Something Borrowed DSP; retired Silver Glimmer Paper; Sahara Sand & Whisper White card stock
• Accessories—Neutrals Candy Dots (card #1), Pearl Jewels (card #2)
• Tools—Labels Collection Framelits, Woodgrain Texture Impressions Folder, Big Shot, 1" Circle Punch & 1-1/4" Scallop Circle Punch (card #1), Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack & Bird Builder Punch (card #2), Bone Folder, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, SNAIL

Hi Stamping Friends!

When I designed these projects for my "Last Thursdays" class, the whole intention was to feature several of the 2011-2013 In Colors since they were supposed to be leaving.

But thanks to the new Color Refresh announced yesterday, this post has now become a celebration—these colors are all staying!  Woohoo!  *jumping for joy*

CASEd from LeeAnn Greff at Flowerbug's Inkspot.

I had to try this card design because it was just a little bit different take on the Bitty Butterfly punch—creating a recessed butterfly!  Love it!  I also thought it was a good way to use up my In Color paper that was going to retire...not anymore!  *hands clapping wildly*

My card base is Whisper White and it's layered with a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of the dots pattern from the 2011-2013 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack. 

For the butterflies' backgrounds, I used the oval-shaped chevron-patterned image from the Oh, Hello stamp set to stamp Island Indigo, Calypso Coral, and Wisteria Wonder patterns on scrap Whisper White paper. Then, I punched 1-3/8" Circles out of the stamped image. 

TIP: You can get two circle punches out of each stamped oval, which is why I ended up with this multicolored card when I was playing around with colors.

Next, I punched with the Bitty Butterfly Punch onto scrap Whisper White to make the middles first, spacing them at least 1/2" apart.  Center the 1-1/4" Circle Punch over the punched butterfly shape to complete the circles.

Now it's just a matter of stacking them with Dimensionals and adding a Rhinestone Jewels.

Once you get them assembled, you can really play around with the positioning on your card front depending on where you want your sentiment. 

Save those white Bitty Butterfly punch-outs to use as additional accents, or even on the inside of the card.

The Curly Cute sentiments are stamped on a piece of coordinating 4" x 3/4" card stock with VersaMark, then embossed with White Embossing Powder.

Another version in Calypso Coral.

And, a final one in Wisteria Wonder.  I could have fun making these in EVERY color!  Oh, yes I could!

Complete Supply List: 

• Stamps—Oh, Hello, Curly Cute
• Ink—VersaMark; Island Indigo, Calypso Coral, Wisteria Wonder Classic Ink
• Paper—2011-2013 In Color DSP Stack; Island Indigo, Calypso Coral, Wisteria Wonder, and Whisper White card stock 
• Accessories—White Embossing Powder, Rhinestone Jewels
• Tools—Bitty Butterfly Punch, 1-1/4" Circle Punch, 1-3/8" Circle Punch, Embossing Buddy, Heat Tool, Dimensionals, SNAIL

CASEd from a swap I received at Leadership 2013.

I'm doing a private class tonight (*waves to Angie*) and one of the projects we'll be creating features some of our awesome Sale-A-Bration exclusive items!  

I embossed the Pool Party card front with the Honeycomb Texture Impressions Folder.  

The banners are created with a 1-1/2" x 5" piece of Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper from Sale-A-Bration, that's fish-tailed at the bottom.  A strip of 3/4" x 4-1/2" piece of Island Indigo card stock, also fish-tailed at the bottom, is layered on top. 

A 3-1/2" piece of Tangerine Tango card stock that's been die-cut with Adorning Accents Edgelits is peeking out from under the banners.  Rhinestone Jewels add some bling.

The focal point is created with the Patterned Occasions Sale-A-Bration stamp set, colored with coordinating markers, then punched out with the 2-1/2" Circle Punch.  Super easy!

Here's a second version using the cute jeans image!  Love it! 

Complete Supply List: 

• Stamps—Patterned Occasions (SAB 129624 c, 129621 w)
• Ink—Island Indigo, Pool Party, Tangerine Tango Markers
