Welcome – Stampin’ Up! Card

1 Comment

Hello There,

Ah, it’s Monday again.  I have to say I worked harder over the weekend than I generally do during the week.   We’ve been doing the dreaded task of cleaning out the garage and shed, yuck!  Where does all the junk come from?  I swear it breeds in the shed and then moves into the garage.  Kind of like dust bunnies, but only in a much larger scale.  Goodwill will be very glad to see me today when I drop off a van load of donations.

Anyway, I’m so glad to be in my cozy office this morning happily stamping away.  I created this Welcome card that can be used to treat a guest (put it on their pillow) or for a new neighbor.  I’m sure anyone would be glad to get a welcome card.  I know I love getting cards.  It just makes my day to get one in the mail.  Note to self, send out many, many more cards.  🙂  Are you guilty of hording your creations?

Today’s project uses the Stampin’ Up! Hostess Set Sweetly Framed.  Awesome, very versatile stamp set.

You can find the supply list and how to the get the tutorial for this project free or by purchase below.

Heads Up! Last 2 days to get these tutorials for free and to get your name in the Mystery Hostess drawing.  Hurry don’t miss out.

Wonderful You – Stampin’ Up! Card

Leave a comment
Hello There,
I pretty much took yesterday off to get much needed errands done.  You know, grocery shopping, banking, a stop at the feed store for chicken food, etc., etc.
Then I took a little me time and browsed one of my neighbor’s apple orchard and pumpkin field.  I really lust after a property like theirs but don’t envy them for the work they have to put into it to keep their place going.  They literally have fruits and veggies almost year round.    I’m quite happy to be putting my garden to rest for the season.
My little venture however sure put me in the mood to do this card.   I brought together the Stampin’ Up! sets Gently Falling and Gorgeous Grunge to give it a magical Autumn feeling.  What do you think about this card for a very special person?
You can find the supply list and how to the get the tutorial for this project free or by purchase below.

Toil & Trouble – Stampin’ Up! Card Tutorial #631

5 Comments
Well it won’t be long and my all time favorite season will be here.  I adore everything about Autumn.  The harvest, holidays and especially the colors.
I have always loved Halloween and have such found memories of Trick or Treating.  I never once had a store bought costume.  We made up our own costumes back then.  I was a hobo more than once.  Stick with a bandana tied to the end of it, grunged up jeans and over sized flannel shirt, dad’s old hat and you were in business.  What homemade costumes did you come up with as a kid?  I would love to hear about them.
About today’s project, I’m starting my Halloween projects early this year.   Just because I love to make them and I am so excited to already have the new Stampin’ Up! Halloween stamps in hand.    This project has the new Stampin’ Up! sets, Halloween Bash and Toil & Trouble in them, Oooooooo  very spooky. . . . . .
The complete tutorial for this card can be found below for free.  On a personal note, please help keep this site free by supporting me, a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, by ordering your Stampin’ Up! products online through my online store.  My Family and I greatly appreciate your business, thank you.  It’s with all my heart I wish to continue bringing you these tutorials at no charge.

Project Supplies:
Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Toil & Trouble (item 131724 wood or 131727 clear) and Halloween Bash (item 130577 wood or 130580 clear)
Card Stock: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Basic Gray, Rich Razzelberry and Basic Black

Started with a 4.5″ x 6″ piece of Whisper White card stock.  Punched a 1 3/4″ circle from the sticky part of a post it note and used it as a mask for the moon.

Cut the bottom off of the die cut.  Sponged Basic Gray ink and Basic Black ink on the piece.
Stamped the crow on Basic Gray card stock using Stazon Jet Black ink.  Cut the image out.
Cropped the main image panel by taking 1/2″ off of both the right and left sides of the card stock.  It now measures 3.5″ x 6″.
Colored in just the middle of the stamp from the Halloween Bash stamp set using a Basic Black marker and then stamped it on the tombstone.  Popped the tombstone and the bird up on the main image panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Ripped the edge off of a 3.5″ wide piece of Basic Black card stock and popped it up at the bottom of the main image panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Sponged Basic Black ink around the edges.
Cut a 10″ x 6.5″ piece of Basic Gray card stock and folded it in half (card base).  Also cut a 4.75″ x 6.25″ piece of Basic Black card stock and punched the Chevron Border stamp down the left side of it.  Cut a 6.25″ x 3.75″ piece of Rich Razzelberry card stock.
Stamped the inside of the card base with the sentiment from the Halloween Bash stamp set using Stazon Jet Black ink.
Put the card together and added two Sahara Sand Candy dots.  Here it is finished.  🙂
May your day be spooktacular!
Until my next post. . . . . .
Huge Hugs!

Zoo Review – Stampin’ Up! Tutorial #627

6 Comments

Hey there,

Hope you had a terrific weekend.  Mine was spent doing projects around the house.  Thank goodness for the weekend or nothing ever would get done around here.  Weekend worrier, I am.

I did get one thing done this morning.  I have a new tutorial for you.  This one is using the Stampin’ Up! Zoo Review stamp set and I teamed it up with the Thoughts and Prayer stamp set.  I made my trees taller to be more in line with what I had in mind for my scene.  Simple  trunk extension.  🙂

Check out my tutorial below.

Before I start the tutorial I wanted to give a reminder there is only 3 days left to get your name in the drawing for this round of Mystery Hostess.  See details at the bottom of this post.

Sponged Baked Brown Sugar at the bottom of the card stock.

Kind & Cozy 1 – Stampin’ Up! Tutorial #621

4 Comments

Hey There,

I have a little window scene for you today.   I started out by using the super cute Kind & Cozy set, but ended up combining two other sets with it to build this scene.

I was asked the other day how I start a project.  I start my projects by picking a stamp set and then my main image stamp.  I then build a scene around it.   My main image stamp is the coffee cup here.

Another question I’m asked a lot is “do  I  practice my projects before doing a tutorial”?    No, what you see on my tutorials is a step by step break down of my first time making the project.  That’s why you may wonder sometimes, as you are looking at a tutorial, why I did things in the order that I did them.  You are seeing my thought process and sometimes I don’t think to add something when I first start the project, but come up with the idea as I’m building the project.  It’s a crazy kind of mind you are dealing with here, lol.   I just go for it!

Anyhow, I hope you like this project and give it a try.  The step by step tutorial is below.

Hey There,

I’m a little over whelmed by all the new Stampin’ Up! things I have here to play with.  Do you ever get that way?  So many toys, so little time, lol.  It’s a terrible problem, not!

I did finally grab out some of my very favorites from the new catalog and decided we would go to the beach together.  At least on paper.  Check it out, I used the Stampin’  Up! Wetlands set, LOVE IT!!!!   There is not a stamp in this set I could do without.  Hope you try this tutorial out.  Happy Stamping!

Project Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Wetlands (item #126697) and Woodgrain (item #128763)

Card Stock: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Soft Suede

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Old Olive, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Soft Sky and Island Indigo

Accessories: Stampin’ Up!  Brayer, Neutral Candy Dots, Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder (item #129984), Deco Labels Framelits (item #130102), Sponges and a post it note

 

I love Stampin’ Up’s framelits and this new set of Deco Labels is no exception.  So I started out this project with them.

Used the second to the largest framelit to cut out my main image panel with the Big Shot and Whisper White card stock.

Brayered Soft Sky ink on the top half of the card stock.

Brayered Island Indigo ink on the very top of the card stock.

Masked part of the sky area with a post it note and lightly sponged Island ink at the post it note’s edge to create my horizon line.

Removed the mask and sponged Crumb Cake ink at the bottom of the card stock to create the sand.

Stamped the grasses stamp from the Wetlands stamp set 3 times using Old Olive ink.

Sponged Soft Suede at the bottom of the card stock and then around the edges.

 

Used the largest Deco Labels Framelit, Big Shot Machine and Crumb Cake card stock and cut out my layer for the back of the main image panel.

Stamped the Woodgrain stamp on the Crumb Cake panel using Soft Suede ink.

Sponged Soft Suede ink on the edges of the card stock.

Cut a 4″ x 5.25″ piece of Crumb Cake card stock and embossed it using the new Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder and Big Shot Machine.

Lightly brayered Soft Suede ink over the embossed image to bring out more and to grunge up the card stock a bit.

Sponged Early Espresso ink around the edges.

Added a 4.25″ x 5.5″ Early Espesso panel, Whisper White card base and Soft Suede Candy Dots.

Here is the finished card.

Not Just for Fall Leaf – Stampin’ Up! Card Tutorial #605

3 Comments

Hey There,

I’ve been busy, busy with my vegetable garden of late.  When you are growing food you are a slave to the calendar starting the season out.  Got to prepare the soil and get those seeds and plants in the ground so they have time to grow before seasons end.  Oh yeah, and keep everything weed free.  That’s a full time job around here.   Sounds like a lot of work and it is, but boy I love my fresh veggies and the exercise is great for me to.

Anyhow, I’ve come in out of the garden to give you today’s tutorial.  Check it out, I’ve used the beautiful Stampin’ Up! set Gently Falling for this project.  Remember to give those Seasonal stamps a look now and then.  Don’t just put those Autumn sets in a box and not bring them out until October.  They can be used year about.  Take for instance my card today, I could use this card for a thank you, thinking of you or sympathy.   Keep your leaves green or white and stay away from the yellow and orange colors for your leaves and you have an everyday scene.  My complete tutorial for this card is below.  Enjoy!***************************************************************

Sponged just a little Cherry Cobbler ink at the post it note edge.

Sponged Soft Suede ink at the post it note edge and the top of the card stock.

Removed the mask and put it back on to cover the top 2.25″.  Sponged Always Artichoke ink lightly on the unmasked area.

Sponged Soft Suede at the post it note edge.

Removed the mask and lightly sponged Soft Suede ink in the uninked section of the card stock.

Stamped the leaf using Always Artichoke ink.

Colored the leaf in using a White Gel Pen.

Here are my layers:

Very Vanilla Card base 10″ x 6.5″ folded in half

Soft Suede 5″ x 6.5″

Very Vanilla 4.75″ x 6.25″

DSP 4.5″ x 6″

Very Vanilla 3 3/8″ square

Soft Suede 3.25 square

Assembled the DSP on the largest Very Vanilla panel.  Added Crumb Cake Seam binding, adhering the ends to the back of the Very Vanilla panel.  Adhered those panels to the large Soft Suede Panel and then to the card stock base.  Assembled the main image panel, Soft Suede panel and Very Vanilla panel.  Adhered them to the larger panels using Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up.

Cut another piece of Seam binding and slipped it under the already attached Seam Binding and then tied it.

Added large Basic Pearls to the main image panel.

The leaf was looking a bit flat so I added a bit of Basic Black marker to the bottom of the leaf to give it some dimension.

Here is the finished card.

Before I close I have an announcement to make, the Mystery Hostess for the drawing ending May 21, 2013 is . . . . . . . Diana Simpson!!  Diana receives the hostess benefits from the pool orders using the last hostess code.

That went so well, let’s keep doing it.  Here are the details:

MYSTERY HOSTESS:

With Stampin’ Up!’s announcement  of the new Hostess Code, we can now “pool” Online Orders together (place them individually, orders will ship directly to you – within the US only, but use the same hostess code). When smaller orders are put in together, the larger order qualifies for HOSTESS BENEFITS.

That means FREE STAMPS (or other products) I can SHARE with YOU!
So let’s get started with May’s Online Mystery Hostess Workshop!
How do you get to be part of the Mystery Hostess Workshop?
Simply use the Hostess Code below and place a minimum order of $50 (before tax and shipping) in my online store by 11:00 pm on Thursday, June 13, 2013.
Important: To be part of the Online Mystery Hostess Workshop, once you add your first item to your shopping bag the hostess code must be entered just below the Special Offers section and it should say Michelle Zindorf as the Hostess.
Once all the orders are placed, on Friday morning, June 14, I will draw ONE name to get hostess benefits on the entire order! I will call/email the winner to get your choices.
Your Hostess Code is: 3MZWCWAQ
Ready – Set – GO!! Start placing your orders now!… Remember, the deadline for this
event is 11:00 pm on Thursday, June 13, 2013.
Please do not put the hostess code in if your merchandise order is $150 or more.  You would lose your hostess benefits that you would have coming already.

Until my next post. . . . . .

Huge Hugs!
