Technique Tuesday … Kissing Technique & Video

Posted in New Product Intro / Video, Techniques by

Hello Stampers ~

Today is my second post for Technique Tuesday.  I will be sharing a Stampin’ Up! video tutorial along with my card share… yes, I will have a card for you too.  I thought it would be a great way to for you to see how the technique is actually done… almost like being a member of my Technique Club.

I’m going to start with a Stampin’ Up! video that introduces you to the “Kissing Technique”.  Enjoy!

Kissing

with
Emily Montoya
Have you ever heard of the kissing technique?We’re not talking about the technique with your sweetie-we’re talking about the one with stamps! Check out this sample featured in this video, see how the butterflies have an extra texture? It’s the beautiful product of two stamps getting together!

Wasn’t that fun!  How did you like the finished cards … so cute.  Here is the card that I created using the “Kissing” Technique:

Now for my card …

I thought it would be fun to add a little “kiss” to the frosting on the cupcakes from the “Build a Cupcake” stamp set and kissed it to the “Hello Doily” stamp.  I inked up the the frosting of the cupcake and kissed it to the Doily to create the neat pattern you see.

000_0905

Of course I then had to pull out the coordinating punch “Cupcake Builder”. Ahhh, so much easier than cutting them out.  My color pallet for today comes from the Retro Fresh Designer Series Paper: Very Vanilla, So Saffron, Coastal Cabana and Baked Brown Sugar … with a touch of Strawberry Slush added in!

I added a touch of the Retro Fresh DSP and topped it off with the Coastal Cabana Ruffled Stretch Ribbon.  Speaking of “topping” things off… I colored 3 of the larger pearls with a red Sharpie, and the put them on my cupcakes.

Finally, my greeting comes from the Perfectly Penned stamp set.  I don’t know what I will do when they retire that set… I use it all the time!

000_0907

Hope you take the time out of your busy day for a little kissing 🙂

Thanks for checking out my blog today!  Check out below for a list of today’s ingredients.

Wishin’ you a terrific Tuesday!

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Last night in my Technique Class were were passing two Bigshots around the table … one for cutting, and one for embossing.  We were talking about how every time you roll your texture folder through the Bigshot, you have the one tab always in the way … that brought us to the “Texture Boutique” Embossing Machine!

132657G

Texture Boutique Embossing Machine

132657

Price: $29.95

The Texture Boutique Embossing Machine works with Textured Impressions Embossing Folders to transform ordinary cardstock, paper, metallic foil, or vellum into an embossed, textured masterpiece.
This machine embosses only; it does not die cut. Comes with 1 pair of Standard Embossing Pads and 1 Mylar Shim.

I love that this is portable and so easy to use … I can’t wait to get mine (just ordered it)!  You can view or purchase this by clicking on the item name highlighted in pink.

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Yesterday morning I was packing up my customer orders and came upon a fantastic item, it’s the new “Yay for Cards!” Bundle.

First, let me start at the beginning, with our Sale-a-bration catalog.  We’ve all noticed that the seasonal catalogs are a bit different, they start by showing us samples of the products showcased in the catalog.

The Sale-a-bration catalog begins by stating how you can earn FREE gifts!  It then moves into “bundles” … bundles that are a bit different than what we are used to.  These bundles are product suggestions “bungled” to help you achieve that FREE gift!  I think that is awesome!  There is something for everyone.

The “Yah for Cards” Kit makes 23 cards and includes everything … I mean everything!

• Happenings Simply Created Card Kit (makes 15 cards; envelopes included)
• On Its Way Simply Sent Kit (makes 8 cards; envelopes included)
• Thanks & Hello Wood-Mount Stamp Set
• Smoky Slate and Strawberry Slush Classic Stampin’ Pads
• Mini Glue Dots

One item included in the kit that I want to point out is the “Happenings Simply Created Card Kit”  …

Looks easy … and FUN!  The kit also includes the “On Its Way” Card Kit.  The “Yay for Cards” Bundle is perfect if you’re the kind of person who never has enough cards on hand but never has enough time to make a bunch, don’t despair! Our Yay for Cards bundle pulls together what you need to create loads of cards without spending loads of time.

Watercolor Thank You …

Posted in New Product Intro / Video, Thank You by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I want to share with you some more patterns from the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series paper.  Yesterday I showed you my least favorite … today I will show you two of my favorites!

I must say, I am really beginning to fall in love with this new designer paper, and I can’t wait to host an event and let you get your hands on it.  In fact, watch for an e-mail announcing my “Sale-a-bration Stampede”… I am working on the details now, and will be sending out details in about a week.

On to today’s card share, I have used 3 more patterns from the Watercolor Wonder Designer Paper …

000_0529

Can you tell which are my favorites?  You’re right, it is the flowered patterns.  They were both so beautiful, I wanted to share them both.  I tied the colors together by using the yellow & gray stripped pattern … the Smokey Slate (gray) is found in the blue pattern, and the yellow from the striped coordinates with the yellow & tangerine, it then tied them together perfectly.

I began with the usual 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ cardstock in Whisper White, and folded it in half for the base of my card.  The mat for the card is Smokey Slate and is cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″.  The flower pieces were cut at 3-1/4″ x 1-7/8″ and the stripped pattern was 1-1/4″ x 1-7/8″.  These will now piece together nicely on the mat… much easier to do than a puzzle.

My greeting comes from the stamp set “Lots of Thanks” found on page 29 of the Idea Book & Catalog (our main catalog).  I then cut the greeting and the Smokey Slate mat from the “Ovals Collection Framelits“.  There are 7 layer dies with this set, so they can highlight any greeting!

000_0525

I always stamp my image / greeting first, and then cut it out … that way I don’t have to worry about it being crooked, because I can always place the die where I need to.

I wanted to add a special little touch to the card, so I cut out one of the flowers from the designer paper and popped it up over the greeting.  To finish, I added a couple of “Pearls” from the jewels on page 171.  You can also click on any of the links (highlighted in pink) to view the product details.

So here you have it, some of my favorite patterns from the “Watercolor Wonder” designer series paper.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to spend it with me.

Have an awesome day ~

It’s a Boy … Sneak Peek

Posted in Kids Kards, New Product Intro / Video, Sale-a-bration by

Happy Saturday my Stampin’ Friends!

Hope this post finds you well and in good spirits.  We are having a beautiful day here in southeastern Wisconsin … we may even get to 40 degrees!  I’ll take this “heat wave” since they are predicting below zero temps in 2 days.

Today I have a cute little “Sneak Peek” card for you that not only gives you a sneak peek at the Occasions catalog, but also a Sale-a-bration item that you can earn free!

As I promised yesterday, I am going to show you a peek at the new designer paper “Watercolor Wonder” … there are so many beautiful patterns in there, I decided to showcase my least favorite~

000_0513

I’m not to big on “splotches” … is that a word?  Anyway, I decided to challenge myself with my least favorite, but I must say that I love the way this turned out.  How cute for a baby card.  I know my baby is 30 something, but I still recall that little ones are good at making “splotches”.

Once I chose the paper, I cased a pattern from our Stampin’ Success magazine, and used the new “Banner Framelit Dies” to cut out a banner from the designer paper.

Next, I punched a banner from our Sale-a-bration banner punch, but it was a bit short, so I made it longer.  I took a picture showing how to do it, but because the product has not yet been released … I can only show samples and not the actual product.  So I will be sure to show you how I did it, after the catalog release.

I used the same stamp set as yesterday, “A Dozen Thoughts” and decided to use my “Stamp-a-ma-jig” to place the words where I wanted them on the banner.  I then roughed up the edges to create a bit more texture.

000_0511

Then I just finished it off with a pretty little bow.

Thank you for stopping by today!  Enjoy your Saturday.

I teamed the note cards with the “Million & One” stamp set.  A little thanks to all of you who follow my blog.

I embellished the card by pairing up our beautiful butterfly punches… they looks so good  layered together.

First is the “Elegant Butterfly” punched and sponged with Crisp Cantaloupe from the 2013-2015 In Color Collection, then “Bitty Butterfly” which was punched and sponged with So Saffron.

Once layered, I topped off the butterflies with the pearls.

Happy Heart Day … Guest Stamper

Posted in New Product Intro / Video, Valentines & Love by

Hello stampin’ friends ~

Today I will share with you another card from our Star’s Christmas Party. 

Today’s guest stamper is Eileen S.We will take a break from Christmas and share with you a cute card that will warm your heart and get you yearning for Valentine’s Day.

101_2314

Eileen used the NEW Envelope Punch Board to create her card.   Watch for an upcoming class that focuses on Envelope Punch Board projects in January. 

Envelope Punch Board includes:
* An easy-to-use chart to create up to 66 different envelope sizes (including standard sizes). The measurements are provided both in inches and centimeters.
* A scoring tool in a convenient storage slot.
* Two punches designed right into the tool itself: one to make the envelope and one to round its corners.

The greeting comes from the “Tags for You” stamp set found in the Holiday catalog, along with the coordinating “Label Bracket” Punch.

The card is highlighted with the beautiful Silver Glimmer paper and fabulous punches.  The “Polka Dot Parade” Designer Series paper really brings it all together and makes is pop.

101_2314

To complete the card (as many of us do when we sign off) are the “xoxo” hugs and kisses from the “Oh, Goodie” stamp set.  You can find that in the Holiday catalog as well.

Thanks for stopping by today!
