It’s Your Day … Masculine Card

Posted in 2019-20 Annual Catalog, Man Cards by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Wow … those weekends sure go fast!  I hope you had a chance to check out my Simply Sunday post that featured “A Good Man” stamp set.  Truth is, this is the same stamp set I will be using today!  I’m stepping it up from the simplicity of yesterdays card and adding some more dimension and interest to the card. This card is inspired by my brothers upcoming birthday.

I wanted to layer some of the handsome designer paper from the catalog … the Come Sail Away is very masculine and compliments this stamp set nicely (I used it yesterday too).  To me, there is nothing more relaxing that sitting on a beach or cliff side over looking the water so I added a nautical touch to my card.  I went with a monochromatic style as well …

I knew I wanted to use the sail boats and the striped paper, so I wanted the striped paper to look like it fit the entire front (but I didn’t want to waste the paper you couldn’t see, so I used two 4″ wide x 1″ pieces and centered them at the top and the bottom on the front / base of my card.  The designer paper with the sail boats was cut into the 4-1/4″ x 4″ wide and then I added a touch of Night of Navy to the top and bottom for an added touch of color and to pull the Night of Navy throughout the card.

I then stamped my image “of the guy relaxing” in Night of Navy onto Whisper White … then I used the Aqua Painter to pull in a little color into his shorts and hat.  This helps draw the eye to the focal point of the card.

I was using the “It’s Your Day!” for my greeting but wanted more … so I used two of the rectangles from the Stitched Rectangle dies together to create an interesting visual effect to the card. With that, I used the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies to cut out my greeting … this kept the texture of stitching throughout the card.  To bring another “circle” shape and balance out my card, I used the ships wheel also known as the helm.

So … if you have that guy in your life that loves the beach, sailing or boating of any kind, the combination of “A Good Man” and the “Come Sail Away” Designer paper is a must have.  I will be sharing some of my creations using the Come Sail Away Suite later this week, so I hope you keep back so you don’t miss a thing.

I would love to hear what you would like to see from the new catalog, till then, I’ll keep sharing what I already have stocked up.

Thanks for spending a part of you Monday with me!!

Have a good day and I’ll see you tomorrow.

Simply Sunday … A Good Dad

Posted in 2019-20 Annual Catalog by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I have not been feeling well and I just took the time off my blog. BUT … I’m back today with a new card from an wonderful new stamp set; A Good Man!

I was thrilled to see the “masculine” stamp sets carry over from the Occasions Catalog and to find this one in the new catalog along side them.  If you haven’t checked it out yet, here is a glimpse of the stamp set ….

You will find “A Good Man” on page 147.  Today’s card is all about being a good dad, perfect for the upcoming Father’s Day holiday.  This simple card will be easy for you to recreate.  I have a list of steps listed below on how I assembled it …

I actually began by choosing a designer paper and I liked the color scheme of the Come Sail Away Designer Series paper. It has a wonderful array of masculine colors; Night of Navy, Balmy Blue, Mossy Meadow, and Soft Suede.

The next step was to determine the size I wanted to stamp (5-1/2″ x 2-3/4″) this size fit my stamped images nicely and gave me room to add a nice embellishment. I used the twine from the Sail Away product suite.  I used Night of Navy to “pop” my stamped images … I used scrap pieces and trimmed them off at 5-1/2″ to align with the stamped image.  You could do the same with the designer paper, as this is a great paper saving technique. The assembly was then mounted onto the Balmy Blue and then the Sahara Sand base.

That’s it … simple!  Oh yes, I forgot to mention that when I stamped the man and child, I used the Aqua Painter right after I stamped the image to pull a little color out and create a focal point that draws your eye to the stamped image.  It was stamped in Night of Navy.

Thanks for hanging out till I got back!!  Be sure to stop back tomorrow, I have another great card using the stamp set “A Good Man”. It’s a step up from today’s card, and I’m sure you’ll love it.

Have an awesome day … It’s Monday!! See you tomorrow.

Guest Stamper: Gloria H.

Posted in 2019-20 Annual Catalog by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have yet one more beautiful card from the Magnolia Lane product suite. This card was made by my friend and fellow demonstrator Gloria Helmbrecht.  This was Gloria’s swap card from the Stampin’ Up! Leadership event we attended a few weeks back … with all the pretty samples being shown, I just had to share with you.

Gloria stamped her magnolia image and cut it out using the coordinating dies.  She then creatively colored her magnolia using the watercolor technique.  The flower was then mounted onto the card front that had the stunning Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper.  This designer paper features hand-painted impressionistic imagery in rich colors.

Coordinating colors in the Perennial Designer paper includes. Balmy Blue, Blackberry Bliss, Blueberry Bushel, Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Flirty Flamingo, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Petal Pink, So Saffron, Whisper White.

I am so excited to share more of the products from the new catalog in the upcoming posts … Is there anything that you would like to see right away? Hopefully I have that item and can share some samples with you.

Thank you for checking out my blog today, hope yours is a good one.

Magnolia Lane Product Suite …

Posted in 2019-20 Annual Catalog by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I hope you enjoyed your weekend and the parade of cards that I showcased yesterday. Just a quick reminder that today is the last day for the retirement list and discounted items, also to stock up on cardstocks and stuff before the price increase that is in the new catalog.

Today I want to share one of my favorite product suites in the new catalog; the Magnolia Lane product suite.  There are going to be so many different ways and techniques to use with this beautiful suite, the possibilities are endless! I started with the basics, designer paper and stamps to create a beautiful card to say “Thanks” for supporting me in my stamping business.

I wanted to showcase the beautiful Magnolia Lane Designer paper so I used the Magnolia Lane Memories and More Cards & Envelopes for my base. The designer paper is cut 4″ x 3-1/2″ to fit inside the silver borders that are preprinted on the base.  I stamped the “thanks” onto Whisper White cardstock and punched it out using the NEW Timeless Label punch … this was popped up with dimensionals and the front of the card was finished.

These are just 3 of the patterns I used to create my Thank you cards ….

To create the inside of the card, I cut a 5″ x 3-1/4″ (approximately) piece of Whisper White … this gave a  more even border around the white.  I then stamped the sentiment onto the cardstock.  To finish I stamped the small magnolia bloom and colored it with the Petal Pink and Mossy Meadows Stampin’ Blends combo packs.

The Stampin’ Blends give the perfect touch of color to the magnolia stamps, so easy to shade and highlight with the combos … I like the way it make “me” look like an artist and all I’m doing in coloring!  This is just a little peek into what you’ll be able to create with this product suite. I’ll be hosting a class and will be sharing more magnolia’s with you.

So friends, I’m sure you know by know that you can save 10% when purchasing the stamp set and dies in a bundle, well, if you look in the upper right hand corner of the catalog on page 37 … you will see that you can now order the “entire” product suite with just one number!!  Wooo Hoooo … easy, breazy!

Thank you so very much for stopping by and spending some time with me today. I would love to know what you would like to see from the new catalog.  Need one?  If you are looking for a demonstrator, message me and I would be honored to help you!

Let’s start out this week with a smile … have a great day!

Simply Sunday: Card Parade …

Posted in ON SALE!, RETIRING by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Where did the weekend go? Can’t believe it is Sunday already, however it’s the perfect time to grab a cup of coffee and kick back and join me in a review of many of my favorite cards.  These cards highlight the stamp sets, designer paper, vellums and accessories that are on the “Discounted” retiring list.

We all enjoy a discount of our favorite items, and I am thrilled that Stampin’ Up! has chosen some of our favorites to discount.  If you are on a budget, as I mentioned yesterday … you may also want to stock up on your cardstock as there will be a price increase in the new catalog.

Let’s begin with a little fun from one of my Stampin’ Retreats …

I created these cute little apron boxes simply by making a little box and gluing the die cut apron to the front and the back. The Stampin’ Up! logo actually came from the grid paper!

My next sample comes from the Beautiful Day stamp set …

Along with the Beautiful Day stamp set, this card showcases the Brusho Crystal Colours which are also discounted.  If you’d like to see the Step by Step instructions for this card … CLICK HERE.

Oh, oh, oh … do you love lace? If so, I have the perfect specialty paper, the Delightfully Detailed paper …

Woooo … this Laser Cut specialty paper makes card making so easy!  CLICK HERE to view 3 more samples using the Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut paper. You will enjoy seeing the different styles you can create with this paper.

It’s always sad to see one of your favorites leaving, but it’s pretty awesome when you can get it on a discount. This card was created using Vellum cardstock and the Detailed Dragonfly thinlits …

Once the dragonfly was cut out, I sponged the color on the back and I added the sparkle with the Irridescent Ice embossing powder … that has been discontiued but you can easily use a little glue and our Dazzling Diamonds – it looks amazing!

I’m happy to tell you that the next card share I have for you has double the rewards; the Broadway Bound Specialty Designer paper and the Happy Birthday Thinlits dies are discounted!

This cute and simple card was created with the Broadway Bound Specialty Designer paper as the background and the Happy Birthday cut from the thinlits die … it is highlighted by adding a piece of vellum behind it which pops the greeting while still allowing the designer paper to show through!

Another popular die set is the Hometown Greetings thinlets that coordinated with the Hearts Come Home stamp set. I actually used the “Hearts Come Home for Christmas” as my theme for the Annual Holiday Stamping Retreat. Here are some of our cards …

Oh my gosh … this was a fun card to create. CLICK HERE if you want more information on how I made this card.

Here is another favorite that makes me sad that it’s on the Discontinued List; Large Letters Framelits Dies.  I’m sure you’ll agree with me that the creative possibilities are endless with these dies. My fav is the amazing technique: The Eclipse Technique

Although I used the cat punch, the technique is to cut an image and pop it up above the area punched, the Large Letters Framelits are famous for this technique. The “celebrate” from the “Celebrate You thinlits dies are also discounted! Check out my never seen before Eclipse Card done with the Large Letters dies …

These dies have a permanent home in my crafting arsenal for sure 🙂  Are they in yours?

Are you ready to make your Christmas cards in July… many do, and you may want to add these next two to your shopping list; the Snowflake Sentiments Stamp Set (Wood Mount Only/Discounted) and the Swirly Snowflakes Thinlits Dies…

So, so, so pretty! And if that wasn’t enough … I have another amazing set of card samples for you, using the Starlight Thinlits dies…

If you are not ready for Christmas and are in need of a little lift, may I suggest the Up and Away Thinlits dies, perfect for graduations and more …

How about one more? This little beauty comes from the Window Box thinlit dies …

We made this at one of my retreats, a sweet little box perfect for gift giving, and it’s a gift in itself!  There are sooo many more items on this discounted list, so I have added a listing of the items below.

Thank you so very much for taking time out of your weekend and joining me for this card parade.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend ~

Check out the NEW In-Colors

Posted in 2019-20 Annual Catalog by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Happy June 1st to you!! It is another rainy day here (and in a lot of places) which makes it a good day to stamp, however when I see my friends throughout the country posting pictures of water running over the bridges or creeping into their back yards … it gets a little scary. My prayers are with all of the families struggling with the flooding.

Hope this will take your mind off of your troubles today.  I would like to share with you the new 2019 – 2021 In-Colors …

The color pallet for the NEW 2019-2021 In-Colors are soft and muted and are going to compliment so many of our current color pallet. I am loving these, it’s hard for me to pick a favorite … so I’ll pick 2: The Purple Posie and the Pretty Peacock are two of my favorites! Yet the Seaside Spray is soooo pretty. What is your favorite … Let me know in the message box below.

Here is the Seaside Spray in a close-up …

I used the “To a Wild Rose” stamp set to showcase my In-Colors. This pretty stamp set is a Photopolymer and a “two-step” design … The rose has a realistic base stamp and the second is more detailed and allows a beautiful highlights and lowlights when stamped. I did not use that stamp, I used the third which has the detailed line design.

The “To a Wild Rose” is going to create some amazing cards so you will be seeing more from this stamp set.  Sometimes I buy stamp sets just for the greetings/sentiments and this one is perfect for friends.  We all need that one or two special friend in our life can can get us through anything … then we are truly blessed ❤

I hope you enjoyed my In-Color showcase today, you’ll be seeing a lot of these colors in the upcoming year, I think these colors are amazing … I’d love to hear what you think.

Also … I want to let you know that there is going to be a minimal price increase on the cardstocks and stuff, so now would be a good time to replenish your inventory. The new catalog and prices go live on June 4th!!

Thanks for hanging out with me today, hope to see you back tomorrow.

A Rosy Thank You …

Posted in Promotions / Deals, Quick -n- Easy, Thank You by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Don’t you just love Fridays!! I do … and I have the day off of work, it can’t get better than that 🙂  Although, I do have a pretty little card to share with you today.  It is from the Everything is Rosy product medley.  Today is the last day you can order this amazing product medley. On this card I showed my “Rosy” class, three fun and easy ways to use the Rose Gold Glimmer paint that is included in the kit … on this card we “stamped”!!

Stamping with this beautiful shimmer paint is only one way to use it, you can also spatter and spritz!!  I have the instructions for all 3 techniques noted in the “Card Instructions” when you purchase the Product Medley from me.  This view shows all the shine … love it!!

Do you see the cute frame around the “stamped” greeting?  That was part of the multiple images we got out of our one pass through the BigShot! They really enjoyed all the stampin’ tips during this class. It’s always my goal to show something fun and new at my card classes.  The beautiful floral embellishment is included in the kit … easy breazy card!!

This view shows a little more detail … sometimes all that shine and glimmer is a little bright for the camera! lol  Not for me, I love it!  The Rose Gold Foil paper in this kit is stunning and so many of the patterns in the designer paper have the Rose Gold Foil in it to coordinate so beautifully.

Please let me know if you have any questions on this amazing kit, just remember if you are thinking about ordering it … TODAY is the LAST DAY.  I have listed the items below for your quick reference or shopping… and I thank you!!

Have a great weekend and I’ll see you tomorrow.

TODAY’S PRODUCT LIST …

 

Last-Chance Products—Discounted Items & Sweet Treats!

Posted in 3-D Projects, Gift Giving ideas by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have some “sweet” cards and 3-D projects to share with you.  We’re approaching the end of our Last-Chance Products promotion, and in these final days, Stampin’ Up! identified some items they now discounted up to 30%.

The discount pricing will go into effect at 12:00 PM (MT) on Thursday, May 30. I just wanted to let you know to get these discounted products while they last!

Click here to see the list of discounted last-chance products.

Oh my gosh … my club members fell in love with this cute little project we did at our Annual Spring Stamping Retreat, now you can get the goodies at a discount to make them!!

The Sweet Cups are discounted as well as the Sweet Pins & Tags and the Coastal Cabana/Granny Apple Green Reversible Ribbon!

These cute little treat cups were so easy to make!!  I simply took one of them apart, tossing the bottom, and then opening up the seam of the cut so I could lay it flat onto my designer paper and us it as a template to cut the pattern out!

A coordinating piece of designer paper was cut from one of the circle dies to decorate the top of the cover.  We used the Tombo glue to attach our ribbon onto the sides of the cover … tied a bow ant glued that on as well.

I fell in love with this entire product suite … it is so cute and as I’m writing this blog post, the How Sweet It Is Designer paper and the Sweetest Thing Photopolymer Bundle are still available to purchase!  Check out these cute projects you can create with the Product Suite ….

This bundle and designer paper will be hanging out in my stamp room for a while, not sure I can let it go after it retires. This time of year is a whirlwind … we have to say good-bye (unless you snag it up) and then there is the excitement of the new catalog.  I have several hitting the mail box tomorrow … and some tucked inside orders, and even more ready for pick-up … Do I have yours?

I’ve got more on order so I will have them ready for my Catalog Kick-Off Party … Watch for details coming soon!

Contact me if you have any questions on the retiring projects and/or new catalog. Thank you for joining me today.

Hope your day is a good one!

 

 

Bowing out “Graceful” …

Posted in RETIRING by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’m going to share with a the card I promised a while back from the Graceful Glass designer vellum.  The beautiful stained glass imagery is perfect for coloring… and I used the Stampin’ Blends.  Because it’s vellum paper you can create stunning stained-glass effects with it!  The Graceful Glass has 24 vellum sheets: 2 each of 12 single-sided designs.  These are the samples from Stampin’ Up! …

And now … my creation, and probably my last from the Graceful Glass designer vellum since it is retiring in only a few more days.

I did not add the greeting to the front of my card as I wanted to showcase the beautiful design of the vellum.  This would make a beautiful birthday card, a sympathy card or what ever you choose.  I chose a very spring-like color them with Highland Heather, Flirty Flamingo – Light, and Mossy Meadow.

I used the Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to add some texture to the card and create interest to the eye. I enjoy using the entire bundle … the dies coordinate nicely with this vellum.

I thank you for sharing a part of your day with me and checking out my blog.

Have a beautiful day ~

Add a Drop of Sunshine

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

A couple weeks ago, Stampin’ Up! introduced the Everything Is Rosy Medley—and we can’t get enough of it! This medley has everything you need to make so many gorgeous projects—designer series paper, rose gold foil sheets, mirror embellishments, ribbon, dies, and (of course) stamps! You can even use the rose gold shimmer paint or the foil-lined die cuts to add a pop of shine to just about anything you make. Want to know all about how amazing it is and get tips on how to use this medley? Watch the video below …

But hurry, this medley is only available for just a little bit longer and while supplies last. Don’t miss your chance to add this ray of sunshine to your collection, because with the Everything Is Rosy Medley, you can make everything you have—well—rosy!

You will also get the directions for the 5 cards we did in our class, which includes a Gift Card Holder … a big hit in class!!

Thank you for joining me this Tuesday, and I hope you have a good day!

Loyal & True: Guest Stamper … Gloria

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Happy Memorial Day to you… just a quick post today.  I have a very special card to share with you today that was made by my friend and fellow demonstrator Gloria.  She is former military and created this swap at our Leadership event last weekend (and she gave one to me)!!  Gloria used the Loyal & True stamp set …

I loved the swooshes of red so I asked Gloria how she did it, and she said she just sponged the background … Love it!!  It gives a lot of movement to the card, like the flag is actually waving.

The simplicity of the card really makes a statement … Today is the perfect day to share this card with you, as we honor the fallen who gave their all defending our freedoms… true heros.

Thank you for stopping by today, I appreciate it.

Have a wonderful day,

Today’s Stampin’ Supplies …

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping back.  I hope you enjoyed the 6 cards I shared yesterday from the Everything is Rosy Product Medley that were created by the amazing design team at Stampin’ Up!

Today I have a super cute card that I created for our Everything is Rosy Class last Thursday.  I love getting together face to face with my Stampin’ Friends … so watch for some upcoming classes.  I’m also going to reactivate my Monthly Newsletter … I hope you sign up to be on my mailing list, if you haven’t already. Just click on the link located within the black banner at the top of my page.

Enough business … let’s get to the card!!

Another “simply” beautiful card … I began by choosing my designer paper which had both the Night of Navy and Melon Mambo (with brilliant streaks of Gold Rose throughout) so I decided to use the Melon Mambo as my base.

The greeting is framed in Rose Gold Foil and surrounded by our pre-printed die cuts which are all in the same color ranges as the designer paper so it matches perfectly (that’s why I love these product medley’s). The frame was die cut at the same time we cut the other frames and backgrounds for my last card… In fact, we cut enough with one pass through the BigShot to make 4 cards!

I thank you for taking time out of your holiday weekend to visit me today… this product medley is amazing and well worth the investment you’d make with your purchase, plus I will send you directions for the 5 cards we did in our class, which includes a Gift Card Holder … a big hit in class!!

Just a reminder … there are only 5 days left to purchase the amazing Everything is Rosy Product medley!

Enjoy your holiday weekend and be safe.

Six on Saturday … Cards that is!!

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Yesterday I shared a card from my Everything is Rosy class … today I have 6 more card samples!! The Everything is Rosy Product Medley was designed with the avid crafters in mind. Who better to share projects and ideas than the avid crafters from our Concept Art Team. Here are some of the projects they shared on our recent video.

Our first two cards were created by Jen Campbell … This card uses the pre-printed die cuts that are included in the medley … the white leaves were cut using the coordinating dies in the kit.  She sponged Balmy Blue on the background … a nice way to supplement and add color to the Night of Navy and Melon Mambo.

The next card was created with colors not included in the medley.  She used a few of the pre-printed die cuts in the kit, but once you’ve used them up … you will have plenty of life left with this beautiful stamp set and coordinating dies …

The next two cards were made by Leanna and she uses the components of the product medley to create a shaker card!  She also used the Nested Stitched Framelits that will be coming in the new catalog …

Her next creation highlights not only the kit but the Rectangle Framelits Dies that are currently in the Occasions Catalog.  She also used Rocco Rose (NEW In-Color) instead of the Melon Mamba, adds some Pear Pizzaz with the Night of Navy and look at the softness it brings to this card …

The final two cards were created by Cindy Schuster.  You are going to love the Ombre card she created using the edgelit die that is included in the die package included in our Everything is Rosy product medley ….

She used Berry Burst, Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo and Powder Pink.  I love the lacy look this die creates when using it this way.  Let me say that it is also stunning when you die cut the Rose Gold Foil paper included in the kit.

On our last card Cindy uses a very different color pallet beyond the kit.  You can keep creating with the amazing stamp set and coordinating dies …

It’s just like any other coordinating bundle you purchase … just stamp, die cut and assemble.  The kit is amazing and I will have another card to share with you tomorrow.  Here is a picture of all the goodies included in your kit …

Please let me know if you have any questions about this product medley … I’m here to answer any questions or concerns you may have.  The Everything is Rosy Product Medley is only available through the end of this month (or until sold out).

Thank you for sneaking away from your holiday weekend to check out my blog, and I hope to see you again tomorrow to view yet another beautiful card using this medley.

Have a great day …
