Finally got my mojo back! I spent a lot of time on Pinterest looking for ideas and all at once, I was excited about stamping again. This bout with pneumonia with asthma complications really took a lot out of me. Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts! I’m using the I Love Lace Background Stamp and paired it with the Tea Party Clear Mount Stamp Set. The image was stamped… Read More »
Wish I could show you the individual items but I’ll be posting pictures as I made cards using the new stamp sets. I am so excited – I love everything in the book! But I guess you could say that about me every time we get new products! I love Stampin’ Up! This card features the new Sale-a-bration Stamp Set called Simply Wonderful. You can get it for free from… Read More »
Today’s card features the Blended Bloom and Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Sets. The Blended Bloom is perfect for coloring with the blendabilities. I’ve included a Stampin’ Up! video on some simple tricks to using our blendabilities. Because the card doesn’t lay flat, I added a band that slips off and on really easy. The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set. It was punched out using the Modern… Read More »
How long do you think it would take you to make this card? Once I had the card stock selected, it took me under ten minutes! I used the Seasonally Scattered Clear Mount Stamp Set to make this quick and easy card. First thing I did was to color in the rhinestones using the darkest marker from the Wisteria Wonder Assortment Blendabilities – then set them aside to dry. I… Read More »
Today’s card features the Pleasant Poppies Stamp Set. I love the rich color you can get using the Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities Assortment. The stems were colored in using the Old Olive Blendabilities Assortment. I did a little sponging on the top with Soft Sky Ink and Pear Pizzazz for the bottom of the card. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set. It was stamped with the Tuxedo Black… Read More »
To stop shopping is to stop breathing! That the sentiment for this image from the In This Together Clear Mount Stamp Set. And I have to admit that I am a bit of a shopaholic. I bought a thinlit die that matches the stamp set from Dies by Dave. This is so cool and I hope he continues to make more dies for our stamp sets. He is not affiliated… Read More »
Today’s card features the Love & Sympathy Clear Mount Stamp set.I wanted a watercolor effect so I colored the flower image with Old Olive for the leaves and stems and Rich Razzleberry for the flower. I then lightly spritzed it with the Stampin’ Spritzer (filled with water) and then stamped the image onto Naturals White Card Stock. You think a card like this would take five minutes or so –… Read More »
Oh the flowers you can make with the Flower Patch Two-Step Photopolymer Stamp Set! It’s got all the shapes and sizes you’ll want plus great greetings and several stems for endless possibilities. I really didn’t have pattern paper to match the colors I wanted to use for this card so I made my own! Using a Sponge Dauber, I stamped a random pattern of circles using the Blushing Bride Classic… Read More »
I cased this from the Annual Catalog (page 240). I just changed it up a little to make it my own. I used Elegant Eggplant Card Stock instead of Crumb Cake Card stock and changed a couple of the dies used on the card. I also added gold sequins from the Sequin Trim Ribbon. This set is perfect for coloring with the blendabilities. For today’s card, I used the Wisteria… Read More »
Today’s post uses the Choose Happiness Stamp Set and the Notable Ornament Stamp Brush Set. When I first started stamping and making cards, I made vintage, shabby chic type of cards and then somehow I got away from it. Don’t know why since it’s my favorite type of card! What is your favorite card to make? I also noticed that Stampin’ Up! is going away from the vintage look and… Read More »
