Life is Beautiful: Cards for Every Season

7/31/2020

I love the new Life is Beautiful stamp set from Stampin' Up! This set is available in the 2020 August - December Mini Catalog. You can begin ordering from this catalog on Tuesday, August 4. Whether you want snow showers, spring flowers, or autumn leaves, you can do it all with this stamp set. So, on y go! Let's get stamping. 
Picture
First, a little technical information. The stamp of the tree trunk in this stamp set is quite large, so to stamp the whole thing you will need Clear Block F. If you don't have this very large block, you can use Clear Block D and stamp most of the tree with the parts that won't fit on the clear block off the side of the paper. This is also a great stamp to use with the Stamparatus where you don't need to have a super-sized clear block. 

For my first card, I stamped the tree with Cinnamon Cider, the leaves and ground with Soft Sea Foam, and the stars/flowers with Flirty Flamingo. I stamped the greeting twice using Cinnamon Cider and Flirty Flamingo and then cut it out. 
The polka dot tulle ribbon is knotted under the cardstock circle with the sentiment. I decided for this card, I didn't want to see the knot or bow, but I liked the look of the ribbon across the card and then the ends poking out from under the sentiment. I cut the Flirty Flamingo and Vellum cardstock with the Stitched circle dies. To glue the vellum, I used multipurpose glue and then used a sponge to sponge it on more evenly across the shape. 

I love the way the little stars stamp represents flowers on this tree. It's so soft and springlike. 

My summer card has the tree stamped with Cinnamon Cider again. Then, I stamped the leaves in Granny Apple Green and Garden Green. I decided that I really didn't want the little birds that are on either side of the birdhouse. So, I carefully snipped them apart from the rest of the stamp. I can still put them on the block in the same place, but now it's easy to stamp the birdhouse without them. I stamped three birdhouses using Bumblebee, Pacific Point, and Cherry Cobbler ink. I carefully inked the strings with Jet Black Stazon ink. This card is so simple and easy to create!

For my winter card, I started by stamping a snow storm with the dots in Pool Party and the stars/snowflakes in Coastal Cabana. I didn't fully cover the card front, but left some white areas near the edges. I think this helps add movement to the snow and suggests swirling snow showers.

Once the snow was in place, I stamped the tree trunk with Jet Black Stazon ink, once in the center and then parts of the branches on the sides. 
I tied sheer Pool Party ribbon around the front and mounted it on pieces of Pool Party and Coastal Cabana cardstock. I stamped the greeting with Jet Black Stazon ink on Coastal Cabana cardstock and trimmed one side as a banner end. For a little bling, I added a few of my favorite Artistry Blooms Sequins. These self-adhesive sequins easily add touches of shimmer, but since they are Pool Party in color, they don't show well in this photo.

You'll notice I'm not sharing an autumn card with you today. You can find a great autumn example with the Life is Beautiful Stamp set in my blog post on Wednesday. Instead, I wanted to share this simple, treeless card.

I simply stamped the dots with Coastal Cabana and the stars with Granny apple green in one area of my card front. I stamped the greeting with Coastal Cabana ink and mounted it over my stamped area. Once again, for a little bling, I added some Artistry Blooms sequins. This card is so quick, easy, and striking.

Simple Card Sketch for Quick Cards

7/29/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
For last night's Mystery Stamping event, we created cards using 5 strips of Designer Series Paper, a focal image, and a simple greeting strip. These cards are quick and easy and a great way to show off patterned paper while still using a stamped image. ​
​
Before we get to stamping and I share this week's sketch with you, don't forget that Bonus Days are nearly over. From now until August 3, earn a $5 coupon for every $50 you spend on Stampin' Up! product. That's like getting 10% back! You can use these coupons from August 4-31. Use the host code: 2XEJGNYD to earn Frequent Shopper points from me as well. (Click above to see the details about my Shopping Rewards program.) 

Ok, on to the fun stuff. On y go! Let's get stamping.

Cutting Dimensions:
Cardstock: 5 ½” x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”
Cardstock: 3 7/8” x 2 ¾”
White or Vanilla cardstock:
  • 3 5/8” x 2 ½”
  • ½” x 4 ¼”
Patterned Paper: (5 pieces) 1” x 4 1/16” of various coordinating patterns

I used 5 strips of Designer Series Paper for my cards, but you could use solid colored cardstock as well. Maybe a rainbow?
My first card uses the new Life is Beautiful stamp set (more samples coming with these stamps on Friday!) and the Plaid Tidings 6" x 6" DSP. I stamped the tree trunk with Soft Suede and added Mango Melody and Cherry Cobbler leaves. For the birdhouse, I carefully covered the two birds with washi tape, inked the birdhouse, and then peeled off the tape before stamping. This kept the birds from being inked and appearing in my stamped image. The focal image is cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

My second card uses the new Tree Angle stamp set and the 'Tis the Season 6" x 6" DSP. This DSP only uses two shades of green and two shades of red. This means it was easy to pull out 5 different patterns that were all Cherry Cobbler and Real Red to create a tone-on-tone background. I love the mix of patterns that isn't distracting because it's all the same color. I added a star to my center tree from the All the Trimmings Embellishments.

Using Water Painters to Create Fun Backgrounds

7/27/2020

Picture
Have you tried the new Water Painters from Stampin' Up!? These replace the Aqua Painters that we used to carry, are $5 cheaper, include 3 brushes instead of two, and have a wide tip brush. What's not to love?!? You can watch the video below that shows them in more detail and then check out the samples I made with some fun and easy water-colored backgrounds. On y go! Let's get stamping.
Picture
Picture
For my first sample, I made a wavy background using Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, and Melon Mambo inks. Then I added some fruit from the Cute Fruit stamp set, some texture on the background with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder, and a few self-adhesive sequins. (Have I mentioned how much I love those things? Probably a dozen or so times!)

My second sample also uses the Cute Fruit stamp set. I created stripes using the Water Painters and Petal Pink, Melon Mambo, and Coastal Cabana ink. I stamped slices of grapefruit in the background and used the stamps to create what I hope look like slices of grapefruit. The ribbon is Whisper White crinkled Seam binding that I colored with the light Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blend.

My third sample uses the Nothing's Better Than stamp set and coordinating dies. I stamped the cocktails with Jet Black Stazon ink. Then, I stamped the insides with Coastal Cabana on one end and Granny Apple Green on the other. I filled the umbrella with Bermuda Bay and the lime with Granny Apple Green. To add a little shine, I used Shimmery Crystal Effects over the drinks. The greeting is made using the Playful Alphabet dies. I mounted the Granny Apple Green cardstock on a piece of the Foam Adhesive Sheets before cutting the letters.

For my last sample, I created a fun plaid background using Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie, and Melon Mambo ink. I added a greeting from the Country Home stamp set and a sunflower and leaves from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set. I colored the images with Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, and Soft Suede Stampin' Blends.

Double Easel Card with to a Wild Rose

7/24/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Today I have a beautiful double easel card to share with you featuring the To a Wild Rose stamp set. These double easel cards are easy to make. While they don't take a lot of time, they have a stunning effect and definitely have that little something extra that is so special for the recipient. So, on y go! Let's get stamping. 
Picture
Picture
Cutting Dimensions:
Whisper White Thick cardstock: 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2"
Petal Pink cardstock: 4" x 10 1/4", scored at 2 1/2" and 5"
In Good Taste Designer Series Paper:
  • 3 3/4" x 5"
  • 3 3/4" x 2 1/4"
Whisper White cardstock: 
  • 3 3/4" x 1"
  • Scraps
Start by folding the piece of Whisper White Thick cardstock in half along the score line. Fold the piece of Petal Pink cardstock as an accordian. Adhere it as shown to the front of your folded card. The white card base should open on top and the first fold of the Petal Pink should be on the bottom. 

Stamp the roses from the To a Wild Rose stamp set with Petal Pink ink. I used only the two inside stamps for these roses. Stamp the centers with Crumb Cake ink. Stamp the leaves with Pear Pizzazz ink. For these leaves, I only used one detail stamp - the one with the stems. Cut the images with the Rose dies. 
​
Stamp the sentiment from the Forever Fern stamp set with Crumb Cake ink on your strip of Whisper White Cardstock. Adhere the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper to the Petal Pink cardstock as shown. Add the greeting strip and the flowers to the front of your card. One set of flowers and leaves is adhered to the back piece of DSP. The other set of flowers is adhered to the smallest panel on the front. Because it sticks off the top of this panel, be careful to only put glue where it touches the front panel. 
​
Picture

I added a bow made with two piece of Linen Thread by using a mini glue dot on the back of the knot. For a finishing touch, I added 3 self-adhesive pearls from the retired Share What You Love Artisan Pearls. 

​On the inside of the card, I stamped an additional rose and a greeting from the Well Said stamp set. 

This would make a beautiful wedding card for someone special. Or, with a change of greetings, it could be used for a birthday, thank you, or almost any other occasion.

Card Sketch: Banners

I love this sketch from last night's Mystery Stamping. It is a great way to show off pretty Designer Series Paper and use up scraps of paper as each strip is only 1" x 2". I used a couple of new packages of DSP from the upcoming August-December Mini Catalog. There are so many amazing patterned paper packs in this upcoming catalog! You are going to love them! So, on y go! Let's get stamping. 

Picture
Cutting Dimensions:
Cardstock: 5 ½” x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”
Cardstock: 1 ¾” x 5 ½”
Whisper White or Vanilla cardstock: 1 ½” x 5 ½”
Patterned Paper: (7 pieces) 1” x 2” of various coordinating patterns
Picture
My two Christmas cards use the  6" x 6" 'Tis the Season DSP. This paper has some fabulous patterns that are perfect for Christmas or whenever. There are some designs that have Christmas imagery - candy canes and such - but much of it is just gorgeous Shaded Spruce, Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler, and Real Red patterns.

For the greeting on these cards I used the soon-to-be-released Peace & Joy stamp set. I didn't use them for this project, but this stamp set has matching dies as well that cut out the larger words: joy, peace, and bright. There are three dies for each word. One cuts the stamped image, one cuts a larger border, and the third cuts a skinnier version of the word. This way, you can use the dies with or without the stamps. The stamp set also has some branches, holly, berries, and line-burst type images that could be snowflakes perhaps or stars or just make a glow around words. But what is really great, are the smaller negative-image block words that go along with the three larger words. ​

My third card features the Plaid Tidings DSP that will be in the new August-December Mini Catalog. These plaids are awesome! I chose ones that used Mango Melody and Rich Razzleberry, but there are lots more to choose from and I probably could have chosen four or five different color schemes to use for this card with this paper. The colors are just so beautiful. I want to gobble it up. 

To go with the fabulous paper, I used the Pattern Play stamp set. And, I added a few of the adhesive backed sequins. These things are the bomb! They are so iridescent and sparkly and they already have adhesive on them. So you just have to peel them off the backing and put them down on your card. So easy and so pretty! If you haven't picked up a pack yet, you should definitely add them to your next order. They are hands down my favorite embellishment right now. I just wish there were more colors!
Picture
For my final card of this series, I tried really hard to use up the rest of my scraps of the Flowers for Every Season DSP. I had a lot of 1/2" strips. So, I made a lot more skinnier banners than the original cards. I finished the card with the To a Wild Rose stamp set and some Bumblebee gingham ribbon. 

This sketch was so much fun to work with! I can't wait to see what all my Mystery Stampers created with it.
