All Together: Cute Cards & Stamping Tips

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, ON SALE! by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’m going to share with you some cute cards that highlight the All Together Designer Paper that is in the Clearance Rack! I’ll share the Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends markers … I use these markers all the time, but they seem to get overlooked in the catalog. See them on page 136 of our Annual Catalog.

I am really enjoying these Stampin’ Blends with this designer paper … it’s so much fun, and so needed in these times. I feel stampers are conduits to a happier world … sending joy one card at a time!!

This card highlights 3 different patterns from the All Together designer paper. The designer paper was created with a nice and simple design so we don’t feel like we have to go crazy with shading and trying to create a realistic hand! It’s easy and fun to make … and share! I believe that every act of kindness truly does change the world.

Check out the layering on this card …

I created this color pallet of sorts with the 10 Naturals Stampin’ Blend markers …. I will have links below so you can check them out for yourself.

Now … when you get your markers, you can write in the numbers like I did below and then try some color combinations of your own. I did a little experimenting on one of the patterns in the designer paper.

Here’s a sample of how you can use this pattern of raised hands … So simple to create, and to show your support for another. Behind the card you’ll see more of the All Together Designer paper patterns.

Here is another card that highlights two pattern in the paper stack and the Stampin’ Blends … This really is a versatile designer paper pack and your can have a whole lot of fun with it!

Here are two fun techniques that you can use on Black & White Designer paper like the All Together Designer paper that is ON SALE in the Clearance Rack.

A super simple technique to change the look of your designer paper is to simply color in the images … Image, you can that these hearts “Bubble Bath” for It’s a Girl card or use Balmy Blue for an It’s a Boy! Don’t stop there … Real Red for Valentines, or Multi-Colors to show support, or choose any color that supports a loved one fighting for cancer.

For my next technique … OMBRE; you can do this several ways!! You can use your Stampin’ Blends to simply apply the color. Another way is to use a layering of color with the use of your Blending Brushes … this creates a soft look. Speaking of a soft look … how about watercoloring; use your Water Painters and ink or a paint brush. You could also use your Watercolor Pencils and Blender pens. So many ways to create the Ombre look.

The paper patterns shown are from the All Together Designer Series Paper. Don’t forget … Stampin’ Up! has add many new items to the Clearance Rack today!! Have fun and grab those discounts … Your sales will qualify your for the BONUS Days Coupons / Reward as well.

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have two cards that highlight the new Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends markers … Available May 1st. My Facebook followers knew I would showcase this sheet of designer paper because I am always asking them for “a show of hands” … lol

A simple card created by our Stampin’ Up! designers ….

I’m liking the new colors and grabbing all my stamp sets that I can use them on!! I was even cruising through the catalog again, but I’ve got some great ideas I will be sharing with you soon.

If you watched the video I shared yesterday, this card features two different designs from the All Together Designer Paper … and they even colored it like a rainbow! It looks great against the black background with the little white hearts.

I think the “pinky swear” stamp … at least that’s what it reminds me of, would make a perfect kids card as well. I’ll have to work on that one!

Here is the “All Together Collection” which includes the bundle, the set of 10 Stampin’ Blends and the Designer paper ….

I also have the Stampin’ Blends and the Bundle separate if you prefer ….

If you missed the download yesterday, I will leave it here ….

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’m going to share with you two cute cards and a short video that highlights the All Together Collection by Stampin’ Up! I’ll share the new Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends markers … It’s a fun sneak peek as these will not be released until May 1st … luckily that is only a couple days away!

Let me begin with the video which is a replay of my Facebook LIVE mini-class.

I am really enjoying these new markers, and the stamp set and designer paper are so much fun, and so needed in these times. I feel stampers are conduits to a happier world … sending joy one card at a time!!

As I stated in the video, the designer paper was created with a nice and simple design so we don’t feel like we have to go crazy with shading and trying to create a realistic hand! It’s easy and fun to make … and share! I believe that every act of kindness truly does change the world.

Now … when you get your markers, you can write in the numbers like I did above and then try some color combinations of your own. I did a little experimenting here …

You know I’m going to have to come up with a card using those raised hands … I’m always asking for a “show of hands” for this or that … lol

Here is my card where I highlight the stamp set and dies along with the markers. … This really is a versatile stamp set and your can have a whole lot of fun with it!

This card was fun to make … and always remember that you can pick designer paper or greetings from anything you have in your stash. I’m sure you can come up with some really cool stuff. And like I said, those markers are perfect for hair and/or fur!! lol

Thank you for spending time here today, and to those of you who hung out with me last night for the LIVE broadcast.

Have an awesome day and don’t forget to share your smile 🙂
