Grateful Bird – Stampin’ Up! Card

Leave a comment
Hello there and happy Friday!
I know it’s bad to live for the weekends, but some how I just cannot help it and I even work from home.  Maybe it’s because work is lighter and generally there are friends and family around to share the weekend with.
I’m excited about tonight because once a month the Zindorf Sister-in-laws get together for dinner, there are six of us and it is so much fun.   It all started some time ago when Russ and his five brothers started getting together once a month for boy’s night out.  Well the Sister-in-laws soon followed suite and we started having our girl’s night out on the same night the guys go out.  I think we probably have more fun then the guys.  🙂 We won’t be telling them though, they will want to start hanging out with us!
Now about my card today.  I figure some of you over acheivers have your Christmas cards all mailed out and you now need something to stamp.  So today’s project is a thank you card.  Your going to need some to thank all those peeps who showered you with Christmas gifts or had you over for holiday dinner etc.
Since I had the Bird Builder punch still out on my desk from my last project I decided to pick it up and use it again.  I’m conserving energy by not putting my supplies away, lol.  I think this bird looks totally happy flying around in this scene.

Winter Deer – Stampin’ Up! Card

3 Comments
Hello There,
I’m moving a bit slower than usual, I’m under the weather with sinus issues.  Tis the season here in Ohio for that.
Even though I’m not feeling well it doesn’t stop me from stamping.  Gotta love a hobby you can do when your down.
Today’s card is not a downer, for sure!  Check it out, I used the deer from the Stampin’ Up! Hostess set, Warmth and Wonder.  Paired it up with my favorite all time ever, flourish from the Stampin’ Up! Everything Eleanor set.  Now that’s a Winter scene for you!

Embossed Ornaments – Tutorial #519

10 Comments

Hey There,

Are you stuck in the United States heat wave?   We are expecting temps to reach 105 degrees for the next couple of days here.  Now, I know that isn’t extremely hot for some of you in the USA, but it’s unusual here in Ohio in June.

I’m just trying to keep cool by thinking of Christmas.  So hence, the Christmas card project today.   Besides, I now have 2 Christmas cards done for this year, lol.

I think I have lost my mind.  I’ve been running the oven kicking out some Blueberry Zucchini Bread.   I’ll give the recipe for those of you who are interested at the end of this post.   It’s yummy!  Already, my garden is producing more veggies than Russ and I can eat, so I’m trying to do some baking and canning to stay ahead of the game.  This Blueberry Zucchini Bread is super moist and freezes well.

Here are a few Stampin’ Up Reminders before I start the project.

Check out what’s new at Stampin’ Up!  The brand new Annual Catalog has been released.   CLICK HERE TO LOOK AT THE CATALOG ONLINE. I got my order in and I’m ecstatic about the new products and, of course, the new stamps!    CLICK HERE TO PLACE AN ORDER. Contact me at mzindorf@aim.com or 937-344-1312 with product questions.

Now on with today’s tutorial. . . . .  . .

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Merry & Type and Snow Swirled

Card Stock: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler and Baja Breeze

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Baja Breeze, Island Indigo, Midnight Muse, Cherry Cobbler and Gold

Accessories: Stampin’ Up! Sponge Daubers, Versamark Pad, Versamarker, Clear Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Stampin Dimensionals, Framelits – Apothecary Accents, Big Shot Machine, Baja Breeze Seam Binding, Stampin’ Markers – Pink Pirouette and Cherry Cobbler, Prismacolor Gold Marker.

Are you getting inspiration from this blog?   One way you can help support it is to order your Stampin’ Up products through me.   Click HERE to place an order and have your order delivered directly to your door step from Stampin’ Up!

 

Gotta love these new Framelits from Stampin’ Up!  This set is the Apothecary Accents (item number 127003).  I used the large one on the right.

Die cut it using Whisper White card stock and the Big Shot Machine.

You won’t be able to tell what I stamp here until I start putting in the background color.   Take my word for it, lol.

Stamped Snowflakes at the top of the card stock using Versamark.   Embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

 

Stamped the Ornaments using Gold ink.  Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

 

Colored the images in entirely using a Pink Pirouette marker.  Added Shading by adding Cherry Cobbler marker to the outside of the area and then blended it using the Pink Pirouette marker.   I left it light in the middle of the ornaments to give it a rounded look.

 

Heated the ornaments quickly to set the marker.

Colored over the ornaments (stay inside of the gold embossed image) using a Versamarker.   Embossed the entire image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.  Now all the images are covered with embossing powder and will resist the background colors I will be putting on next.

Sponged Baja Breeze ink on the inside of the card stock and at the top.

Sponged Island Indigo ink around the edges of the card stock, leaving the middle of the card stock light.

Sponged Midnight Muse at the top of the card stock.

Softly wiped the embossed images off with a paper towel.

Cut a 4.75″ x 6.25″ panel of Cherry Cobbler.   Stamped a snowflake all over the card stock using Cherry Cobbler ink.

Added a 5″ x 6.5″ Baja Breeze Panel, 3″ x 5″ Cherry Cobbler Panel and a 3.25″ x 5.25″ Baja Breeze Panel.

Edged all of the panels with a Prismacolor Gold Marker.   To edge the card stock, put the marker tip 1/2 on the card stock and 1/2 on your scrap paper as you pull the marker along the edge.

Assembled the card adding a 10″ x 6.5″ Whisper White card base folded in half and a Baja Breeze seam binding double bow.

The main image panel and the 2 panels below it are popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Now about that Blueberry Zucchini Bread. ………….

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 4 mini-loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar. Fold in the zucchini. Beat in the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Gently fold in the blueberries. Transfer to the prepared mini-loaf pans.
  3. Bake 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the center of a loaf comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes in pans, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.

This recipe is from allrecipes.com.

May you have sunny days and cool breezes.

My heart and thoughts are with those of you that are in the flood areas of Florida or the fire areas of Colorado.  Please be safe.

Until my next post. . . . . .  .

Strung Up Christmas – Tutorial #513

18 Comments

Hey There,

LOL,  I know, I know, you just never can tell what you are going to find on this blog from one day to the next.  Here it is June and I kick out a Christmas card.

Well, the thing is, I sometimes get into a creative rut.   When that happens, I take out my Stampin’ Up! catalog and challenge myself to create with a stamp set that I randomly open the catalog too.    This time I opened to the holiday section and the one brand new stamp set I have on that page is this yummy set called Chock-Full of Cheer.   So here is a little Christmas cheer in June.   Check, one Christmas card made, lol.

A little about this project, I used ripped post it notes to mask to create my snow drifts.   This creates a lot of depth in the scene.   Take another look at the project and you probably think this was done by layering paper to create the snow drifts.  Think again, the main image panel is just one sheet of Whisper White.

Here are a few Stampin’ Up Reminders before I start the project.

Masked the bottom inch of a 3.25″ x 7.5″ piece of Whisper White with a couple of Post it notes.

Stamped the candy canes using Cherry Cobbler ink.

Removed the post it note masks.

Ripped some post it notes and masked as you see below.   Sponged Baja Breeze ink between the two torn post it notes.  Note:  try not to get the ink on the candy cane.

Sponged Wisteria Wonder ink at the bottom of the area.  Note:  try not to get the ink on the candy cane.

Removed the top mask from the left side and moved it to the right side.  Repeated sponging the Baja Breeze ink and then followed up with Wisteria Wonder ink at the bottom.

Removed all of the post it notes and sponged Baja Breeze ink at the bottom of the card stock.   Be sure to leave some white showing at the top of the first snow drift.

Sponged Wisteria Wonder ink at the bottom of the card stock.

Using the fine tip of a Basic Black marker drew in a line for my lights.

Used the mat pack template and markers to color in circles to create the lights along my black string.  I made some in Tempting Turquoise, Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive.

A closer look.

Added a 8″ x 9″ piece of Baja Breeze card stock folded in half so it measures 4″ x 9″,  8.75″ x 3.75″ piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock.   Added Baja Breeze Seam Binding (double layer) to create the bow.  Add a piece of Real Red ribbon to the front bottom of the main image panel.  Adhered the main image panel to a 3.5″ x 7.75″ piece of Baja Breeze card stock and then pop them up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.     Added Dazzling Details to finish off the card and give it some wonderful sparkle.

Here is the finished card measuring 4″ x 9″.   This card fits into a 10# sized business envelope.

May you find joy in your heart no matter what time of year it is.

Until my next post. . . . .  . . .

Winter Red Bird Card Blog Candy and Tutorial #475

64 Comments

Hey there,

I put together a rustic Winter scene for you today.  I was gearing this card more towards manly than feminine so, I left off any form of frill, such as, ribbon and glitter.    I also, left off any type of sentiment since this scene could be used for so many occasions and I don’t know what the user would be using it for.

Follow along with the tutorial below to make one of these cards or you could leave a comment at the bottom of this blog post telling me to put your name into the blog candy drawing and try to win this one.  🙂   I’m putting this card up for blog candy and will use a random number generator on Wednesday, December 14, 2011.   If you are getting this blog post via e-mail, please CLICK HERE, and then leave a comment.  Please no e-mail entries.

Good Luck!

**********************************************************************

Reminder!

My customer drawing for December 2011 is a full set of Stampin’ Up! Clear Mount Acrylic Blocks and a rockin’ Stampin’ Up! Clear Block Storage Caddy to store them in.  The block set includes 9 different block sizes.    Total prize package is an $86.90 value.    How do you enter?   For the month of December, 2o11, when you place a Stampin’ Up!  order using me as your Demonstrator,  you will receive one entry toward this months prize for each $25 increment in merchandise purchased.  Place an order for $50 and get two chances and so on and so on.    CLICK HERE TO PLACE AN ORDER OR TO BROWSE.   Your order will be shipped directly to you from Stampin’ Up!.

If you stamp with clear-mount stamps, you’ll need a clear block to adhere your stamps to. Stampin’ Up’s blocks are a clear choice. Made from high-quality, sturdy acrylic, these blocks can hold one stamp or multiple stamps if you want to create a collage of images.

Clear Block Storage Caddy - by Stampin' Up!

This compact storage caddy holds one of each size of our clear-mount blocks. The foam insert securely holds the blocks in place; an additional foam insert sits between the blocks to protect them when the caddy is closed.

■ Opens flat for easy access
■ Locks shut
■ Built-in handle makes it easy to carry
■ 8-1/16″ x 10-5/8″ x 1-13/16″

Cut 2 4″ x 9″ piece of Whisper White.  I know I want my main image panel to cross over my card at a diagonal so I held the card stock the way I wanted the main image panel to appear in the finished card and then cut the sides off of it using a paper cutter.

Using a glass mat and a craft knife, cut out a curly branch from Whisper White card stock.  Note:  when using a craft knife, move the card stock, not the knife when cutting.  This gives you better control and not such choppy lines.

Colored part of the branch using a Basic Black marker, leaving the areas that I wanted snow to appear white.

Punched 3 berries using a hole punch and Cherry Cobbler card stock.

Punched 2 birds, one from More Mustard card stock and one from Cherry Cobbler card stock.

Cut the beak off of the Cherry Cobbler bird and layered it over the More Mustard bird.

Added Cherry Cobbler marker to the bottom of the bird and the bird’s wing.   Followed up with a bit of Basic Black marker at the very bottom edge of the bird and the bird’s wing.  Also added a Basic Black dot for the bird’s eye. 

Now back to our main image panel.  Masked the bottom of the card stock using a post it note with a ripped jagged edge.  This mask is masking our snow area.

Brayered Baja Breeze ink in the sky area.

Brayered Not Quite Navy ink at the top of the card stock, not covering the Baja Breeze ink entirely.

Sponged a hint of Not Quite Navy at the horizon line (post it note edge).

Stamped a hint of trees in the distances using Baja Breeze ink and the pines from Stampin’ Up! set Plant Hope.

Removed the post it note mask and put a new one on that has a hill ripped into it.  Sponged Baja Breeze ink at the post it note edge.

Move the post it note down and over and sponged in another drift using Baja Breeze ink.

Removed the post it note and sponge Baja Breeze ink at the very bottom of the card stock.

Assembled my bird, branch and berries onto the main image panel.

Cut a 3.75″ x 8.75″ piece of Stampin’ Up! Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper and then sponged Soft Suede ink around the edges of the both the paper and the main image panel.

Added a 4″ x 9″ Baja Breeze card stock panel and assembled.

Using the mat pack and piercing tool, pierced holes along the edge of the main image panel on both sides.  

Added a dash of White gel pen from one hole to the next to create faux stitching.

Punched a decortive lable punch from Soft Suede card stock and then cut it in half.  Sponged Basic Black ink around the edges of each piece.

Added them to my card front along with 4 Basic Black brads.  Sponged Basic Black ink all around the card front edges.

Added a white gel pen highlight to the top of each berry and a Cherry Cobbler marker shadow to the bottom of each berry.

Here is the finished card measuring 4″ x 9″.

May your day be filled with love and laughter.

Until my next post. . . . . . .
