Hello there,

Today I decided to use an unexpected palette of colors.  How do you like it?  All this pink really makes for a famine greeting card for sure.

Do you have special card stock, like gold and silver that you have been hoarding?  Today I used a panel of gold card stock behind my main image panel and it really made the card so much more special.  I had to ask myself, why I don’t use this card stock more often?  What am I waiting for?  How about you?

Happy Stamping!

 Until my next post. . . . . . 

Huge Hugs!

Sea Turtles – Stampin’ Up! Card

Leave a comment

DSC_0025

Hello there,

A little bit of play on light (light areas and dark areas) can really make your scenes.  It created a peaceful ocean scene with those turtles just cruising by.  Stampin’ Up! inks and sponges made quick work of that background too.

I hope today’s project inspires you to get inky today.

 When you find yourself longing for just the right ribbon color how about inking up some white ribbon to match your project.  Stampin’ Up’s Whisper White Organza ribbon inks up like a dream in just a moment with little mess.
Just sponge it on.  It’s a great reason to keep stocked up on this ribbon.  🙂

Happy Stamping!

Red Balloon – Stampin’ Up! Card

Hello there,

Sometimes my cards all seem a bit serious for the little ones on my card list so I created today’s card to fill that gap.  Gotta love this frog with his goofy grin from the Stampin’ Up! You’re Sublime stamp set.  The balloon and it’s shading was made super simply with the Stampin’ Up! Balloon Celebration stamp set.  I think they make the perfect pair!

Timeless Textures and Daisies – Stampin’ Up! Card and how to organize your sponges

2 Comments

DSC_0026

Hello there and happy Monday!

I was thinking this morning about a sentiment in the Stampin’ Up! stamp set Helping Me Grow, which is “thanks for helping me grow.”   Did you know you help me grow?  Everyday when I sit down to create I try to come up with something new for you.  You inspire me so much to look around my craft room and seek out new stamp sets, products and techniques in order to keep things fresh and exciting in my craft and yes, help me grow.  For this I am so thank for you!  In turn, I hope you are inspired by what you see here and you never tire of growing along with me.

Today I teamed up the Helping Me Grow stamp set with it’s big bold flower images with the Timeless Textures stamp set to create my collage background.  The Timeless Textures stamp set has super collage elements.  There is no end to the different backgrounds you can create with it.  These are a couple of must have sets.

Over the weekend I took stock of some tools that I use everyday and boy were my sponges worn out and really, really sad looking.   Using worn out sponges is not good.  You don’t get the same results like you do with a new sponge and they are so cheap to replace.  So I replace mine once a year.   I completely dumped my sponges in the trash and start over.
Organizing your sponges is super simple and saves so much time having your sponges set up so you can visually see the color you are looking for.  I highly suggest this!
Purchase a few packs of Stamping Sponges, item #141337.  They come 3  round sponges to a pack.  Cut each sponge in half and then each half in half and then each one of those in half.  You will have 8 sponges from one single round sponge.  That gives you 24 sponges from one single pack.
Note:  for the sponge topper, you can use a 1.5″ square of card stock, a 1 1/2″ circle punch or any label punch or die you have in your arsenal that is as wide as your wedge of sponge.  Create your topper for each sponge out of card stock that matches your  ink pad.  If you don’t have the matching card stock then sponge your topper with that ink color.  🙂
I write the name of the color on each end of the topper and fold it in half, sandwich the sponge with it and then staple it on.  That gives you a great handle to use and your fingers don’t get as inky when you use it.
Mine are stored in a tackle box tray.   The tray had a lid but I’m too lazy, I mean time efficient to keep opening the lid so I took it off.  🙂

Today Celebrate You – Stampin’ Up! Card

Leave a comment

DSC_0027

Hello there,

The Stampin’ Up! Stamp Set Sheltering Tree will take you through every season of the year.  Such a versatile stamp set!  There are beautiful sentiments in the stamp set but I needed a birthday card for today so I used sentiments from other sets today.

To add more interest to the card I die cut a section out and popped it up.  Simple touches to a card can add so much.

Happy Birthday Bear – Stampin’ Up! Card

Leave a comment

DSC_0021Hello there,

I used the fun Bear Hugs stamp set along with the sentiment from the Age Awareness stamp set to create this juvenile appropriate card.  The bears are so cute and easy to pop into different scenes that you create.  A bear poking it’s head out from behind a tree is sure to make the recipient smile.   The mountains in the background remind me of the beautiful Smoky Mountains were you still need to be alert when it comes to bears.  This one seems friendly enough though. 🙂

Pearl Peas – Stampin’ Up! Card

Hi there,

I had a bit of fun with today’s project.  I kept envisioning the leaf from the Friends & Flowers Stamp Set, item #140511 as a pea pod.  To make those peas extra special I added Basic Pearls for the peas.  So fun, right?  Also the images are embossed in gold to make it extra special and rich looking.

Pears – Stampin’ Up! Card

Leave a comment

DSC_0095

Hello there,

Let’s take a solid pear shaped stamp and make some realistic looking pears out of it.  I teamed up the Stampin’ Up! Apple of My Eye stamp set with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set to create this effect with some layered color.

I created my pears with spots because I grow pears here and know they come with speckles all over them.  I hope this project inspires you to get inky today.

YOU CAN SEE JUST HOW TODAY’S PROJECT WAS CREATED IN TODAY’S TUTORIAL.  SEE HOW TO GET IT AND 11 OTHER TUTORIALS FROM THIS MONTH FREE BELOW.  LEARN TECHNIQUES YOU CAN APPLY TO YOUR OTHER STAMPING PROJECTS AS WELL.
