Creating with the Country Birdhouse Card Bundle

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Step into a world where creativity takes flight … Today, I’m thrilled to unveil my first card made with the captivating Country Birdhouse Card Bundle, a harmonious blend of nature’s charm and artisanal craftsmanship, featuring the exquisite Country Woods Designer Series paper. Join me on a journey through the artistry of handmade cards, where every detail whispers of serenity and grace.

At the heart of this bundle lies the coordinating Country Birdhouse Dies, a collection crafted to transform ordinary cards into extraordinary works of art. Inspired by the timeless allure of countryside living, these dies allow you to create charming birdhouse-themed cards that capture the essence of pastoral beauty.

A perfect pairing to the bundle is the Country Woods Designer Series paper. With its rustic textures and earthy hues, this paper serves as the perfect canvas for your creative vision. Whether you’re crafting birthday greetings, heartfelt sentiments, or messages of appreciation, the Country Woods Designer Series paper adds a touch of rustic elegance that’s sure to delight any recipient.

I constructed this charming birdhouse-themed card adorned with the Country Woods Designer Series paper, using the coordinating dies. To infuse my creation with a burst of color and whimsy, I incorporated the enchanting “Pretty in Pink” hue from Stampin’ Up!’s color palette. This delicate shade of pink served as the perfect accent, adding a playful touch to every detail of my birdhouse card.

For the sentiment, I turned to the Nested Essentials Dies to die-cut the heartfelt greeting, “Hello Friend,” stamped in Pretty in Pink ink. This warm and welcoming message serves as the perfect invitation to linger a little longer in the cozy embrace of the birdhouse card.

My birdhouse-themed card would be complete without a flourish of florals, so I embellished my creation with blooms crafted from Pretty in Pink and Moody Mauve cardstocks. Adorned with delicate rhinestones, these flowers add a touch of sparkle and whimsy, evoking the beauty of a sun-dappled garden in full bloom.

You can purchase these supplies by clicking the links below, let your creativity take flight, and let the tranquil beauty of the Country Birdhouse Card Bundle inspire your next crafting masterpiece. Happy crafting!

Birthday Buzz: A Bee-Themed Celebration!

Posted in Birthday, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today, we’re buzzing with excitement as I showcase a delightful card featuring the Bee My Valentine Bundle, but with a twist – it’s all about birthdays! Who said these bees were only for Valentine’s Day? I’m flipping the script and infusing some birthday cheer into our crafting with this fun and vibrant card design.

The front of the card is the vibrant floral pattern from the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper. This paper not only adds a burst of color but also sets the perfect backdrop for our birthday celebration.

At the center stage, our adorable bee friends are highlighted courtesy of the Perennial Postage dies. These fussy cut bees create a charming focal point, bringing the theme to life. But what’s a bee without its shimmer? A touch of Wink of Stella on the bee wings adds a magical sparkle, elevating the whimsical vibe of the card.

While the card may be buzzing with bees, it’s all about sending heartfelt birthday wishes. To emphasize this, I’ve cut the card front short to prominently display the birthday greeting from the So Sincere stamp set. It’s all about making sure my recipient knows they’re being celebrated on their special day!

No birthday card is complete without a bit of sparkle! Besides the Wink of Stella on the wings, I’ve adorned my card with iridescent rhinestones, strategically placed to highlight the stamped birthday greeting. These little gems not only add a touch of elegance but also make the card truly shine.

As card makers, we have the wonderful ability to create moments of joy and celebration through our handmade creations. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or just a day to spread some love, there’s nothing quite like receiving a handmade card filled with thoughtfulness and care.

With the Bee My Valentine Bundle, I’ve shown that you can take a theme traditionally associated with one occasion and adapt it to suit any celebration. Birthdays are just the beginning – imagine the possibilities for weddings, graduations, or simply sending a “thinking of you” message!

Thanks for hanging out with me to discover what all the “buzz” was about!

Enjoy your Friday!

A Perfect Finale: Petal Pink and Basic Gray in Harmonious Blend with Gold

Posted in HOLIDAYS, Valentines & Love by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

As we bid adieu to our week-long exploration of exquisite gold color combinations, we reserve the grand finale for a pair that not only complements gold but elevates it to new heights – Petal Pink and Basic Gray. These two hues, when intertwined with the shimmering brilliance of gold, create a symphony of elegance and sophistication.

For our concluding showcase with the Most Adored designer paper, I chose the design adorned with delicate gold hearts. Armed with blending brushes and the soft blush of Petal Pink, I embarked on a journey to craft a gradient effect that would serve as the perfect backdrop for our design.

The stars of the show, the adorable bees, were meticulously fussy cut from the Bee Mine Designer paper. I incorporated the Bee Mine bundle, utilizing both the sentiment and die cut from this delightful collection. The result was a seamless integration of elements, each contributing to the overall allure of the project. And a touch of the Wink of Stella on their wings.

What truly sets this card apart is the attention to detail… I think it’s my favorite! The bees, with their intricate patterns, add a touch of whimsy, while the sentiment and die cut from the Bee Mine bundle infuse a heartfelt message into the design. It’s not just a crafting project; it’s a visual story, told through carefully chosen elements that weave together seamlessly.

To add the finishing touches, I reached for gold cord and Petal Pink Foil Gems. The gold cord, with its understated glamour, brought a sense of unity to the composition, tying together the gold highlights from the Most Adored designer paper. Meanwhile, the Petal Pink Foil Gems introduced a subtle shimmer, echoing the softness of the Petal Pink gradient. 

This final card encapsulates the essence of what we’ve discovered… It’s not just about colors; it’s about the stories they tell, the emotions they evoke, and the artistry that unfolds when they come together. 

On the Flip Side …

When we turn the page on our Most Adored Designer paper, it reveals a charming transformation from shimmering gold hearts to a delightful pink and red plaid. Where our first card was all about the glitz and whimsy, this card is bold and to the point. 

I cut three 1 1/4″ x 4″ pieces of the plaid pattern and matted them in Real Red. This not only accentuates the boldness of the red and pink hues but also adds a touch of sophistication to the overall design.

For the backdrop, I opted for a Basic White mat, which was embossed with the timeless Timeworn Type pattern. This embossing detail introduces a subtle texture, elevating the visual appeal and adding a vintage touch to the composition. It’s a nod to the past, seamlessly integrated into the contemporary vibrancy of the plaid pattern.

The sentiment, borrowed from the Bee Mine bundle featured in our initial card, takes center stage once again. However, this time, it undergoes a transformation of its own, being die-cut with the versatile Everyday Details Dies. This alteration not only reinforces the adaptability of the Bee Mine bundle but also infuses a fresh perspective into the sentiment, making it a perfect fit for this design. 

To add a final touch of sweetness, small red hearts were delicately die-cut using the Sending Love Dies. These whimsical embellishments scatter across the card, tying together the theme of love and warmth. 

If you’ve been following the past 4 days, you’ll note the Most Adored Designer paper has proven to be a canvas of endless opportunities, and there’s joy in every discovery. Thanks for hanging out with me during this discovery of color and techniques!

Here is a list of supplies I used for today’s cards ….

Most Adored Double Box Fun Fold Card

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~ As we continue our journey through the enchanting world of crafting with the Most Adored Specialty Designer Paper, today marks the 4th day of exploration. In this blog post, my spotlight hues for the day are the rich Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce. The floral patterns of the paper come to life as we unleash the magic of Stampin’ Blends. The Pansy Patch stamp set takes center stage for a heartfelt sentiment, while the Stitched with Whimsy Dies add a touch of whimsical charm. Let’s take a look at today’s creation! 

I thought it would add some excitement by highlighting my paper with the Double Box Fold, a fun fold that lays flat in the envelope for mailing. The Most Adored Specialty Designer Paper, in the pretty floral pattern, becomes a canvas for creativity. Using Stampin’ Blends in Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce, infuse vibrant hues into the delicate blooms. The seamless blending of colors adds depth and dimension, transforming the paper into a work of art that harmonizes perfectly with the regal touch of gold. 

For the sentiment, I chose the Pansy Patch stamp set, which offers a perfect blend of grace and sentimentality. Stamp a heartfelt message onto the card, and then use the Stitched with Whimsy Dies to frame and highlight the sentiment. The intricate stitching adds a touch of sophistication, making the sentiment a visual focal point on the card.

Most Adored Gold with Night of Navy Accents

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Valentines & Love by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

In the world of crafting and creative expression, certain elements stand out as timeless and beloved. Gold is undoubtedly one such element, radiating opulence and sophistication. Today, our product spotlight revolves around the Most Adored, and we’re going to explore how Night of Navy, a rich and deep hue, beautifully complements the regality of gold. 

The Most Adored Designer paper has captured the hearts of stampers worldwide with its premium quality and versatile appeal. Along with the Gold Foil designs and cute Valentine designs on the “flip side”, what makes it so popular is that you can get it for FREE during our Sale-a-bration promotion, with a qualifying purchase.

For today’s creative adventure, we turn our attention to Night of Navy. This deep, dark blue is synonymous with elegance and pairs seamlessly with the richness of gold. I used the swirl pattern and infused it with Night of Navy ink and my Water Painter. It appears to be dancing harmoniously with the golden accents, creating a mesmerizing effect.

I used the Watercolor Wash Technique over the Most Adored Designer paper, as it dries it lightens, so I went back over some areas with more ink to get the true Night of Navy color too. The die cut circles with a border of circles comes from the Everyday Detail Dies. And to take it over the top … I embossed the Paper Butterfly in Gold and embellished it with gold pearls from the Festive Pearls collection. 

On the flip side, we delve into the romantic realm with Card #2. Here, I used both sides of this sheet of designer paper with punched Hearts, and die cut the little hearts from our Sending Love Dies. As we approach the season of love, this creation becomes the perfect canvas for a heartfelt Valentine’s Day card. The Basic White background adds a sense of stability, making the hearts pop with warmth and affection.

My greeting comes from the Throughout the Year stamp set. You all know I love my sentiment sets, especially when they provide so much versatility as this one does. This was highlighted by die cutting the greeting from the Something Fancy Dies.

I’ll conclude the Most Adored collection, with its resplendent gold and Valentine themed flip side takes center stage in the world of crafting. The Night of Navy emerges as the perfect companion, adding depth and elegance to our project. So, whether you’re crafting a mesmerizing swirl pattern or crafting a heartfelt Valentine’s Day card with punched gold hearts, embrace the magic of Most Adored Designer Series paper.

Thank you for joining me today, I’ll meet you back here tomorrow featuring yet another color combination, and flip side card!

Get Your Cardmaking Groove On for New Year’s Eve …

Posted in Birthday, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Are you ready to bid adieu to this year in the grooviest way possible? Buckle up your roller skates and grab your Disco Ball stamp from the Curved Occasions set because we’re about to slide into the New Year with style and flair! 

The Curved Occasions stamp set isn’t your average set of stamps. Sure, it’s got the retro roller skates that scream ’80s nostalgia, but it’s also the secret weapon for any occasion you can think of…. Birthdays, thank you notes, or just because – these stamps have got your back.

But let’s talk about the true star of the show: the Disco Ball stamp. This stamp is the epitome of party vibes, shimmering with nostalgia and ready to turn any piece of paper into a dance floor. You can practically hear the funky beats just by looking at it!

I brought in the “Wanted to Say” and “Patchwork Pieces” dies to help this party get started … we all like to have our friends around, right? These two dies compliment our Disco Ball and New’s Years celebration card perfectly. I used dimensionals on every other panel to create that “glowing” look for the Disco Ball.

As the disco beats echo through the halls and the glittering ball drops at midnight, let your cards be the talk of the town. It’s time to slide into the New Year with style, pizzazz, and a whole lot of stamping magic…. But this bundle retires January 3rd, so grab yours today.

Here’s to a year filled with spinning disco balls, endless creativity, and fun cards that bring joy wherever they go! 

Happy New Year my friends ~

Throwback Thursday: Daisy Garden in Gold

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Techniques by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have a card from the Daisy Garden stamp set, and it’s stunning in gold! I embossed the Daisy Garden in Gold on Very Vanilla cardstock. Let me just say, sometimes simplicity can be stunning …

I matted the embossed image with the Gold Foil paper (4″ x 5-1/5″) which really highlights the gold daisies. This front is attached to the Very Vanilla Base (8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″). Heat embossing is the technique that attracted me into stamping!

The greeting comes from the upcoming “Celebrating You” stamp set … it will be available January 4th in the Mini Catalog, as will the beautiful Brushed Brass Butterflies! I die cut the greeting with the Tasteful Labels dies …

I added a strip of the beautiful Gold Shimmer Ribbon that can be found in the current Mini that expires on January 3rd. So today … you got to see something new, with something in our annual catalog. I like utilizing my stamps and accessories from both catalogs.

Thank you for joining me today. Enjoy your day ~

ThrowBack Thursday: Blooming Birthday

Posted in Birthday, New Product Intro / Video, Quick -n- Easy by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I would like to share a post from August of 2014 … It’s still as relevant as it was two years ago. This is a sweet and simple birthday card that will bring a smile to anyone who receives it.  I used the new “Flower Patch” stamp set!  This is one of our Photopolymer sets, and makes the two-step stamping super simple because of the clear images.

I have a video for you to view that highlights the “Flower Patch” stamp set …

My card base color is the new In-Color Mossy Meadow along with the Whisper White which truly highlights to ink colors we will be using on our card.

The flower was created by stamping our largest image first, in the lightest color: Crisp Cantaloupe.  I then layers the Calypso Coral next, and completed the flower with the Cajun Craze… and topped it off with a pearl.

000_1352

STAMPIN’ TIP:  The leaves were added behind the flower by creating a mask.  Stamp the largest flower image on a piece of scrap paper and cut it out.  I always cut inside the line.  Then place it over the flower and stamp your leaves … it gives the appearance they are behind the flower!

It’s been a while since I’ve used a two-step stamping set and forgot how fast you can create a beautifully layered, colorful card.  I added the Daffodil Delight flowers in the background to create another pop of color.

There is no longer a bundle available as this was an earlier post.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card and video!

Happy Birthday ~

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I want to share with you a card I received from one of my downline members, Brenda! We had a team meeting last night, and of coarse we stamp and swap … so there will be more beautiful samples I will be sharing with you.

Brenda’s card is a celebration of Sale-a-bration! Her card showcases some of the fabulous items you can get free with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration …. and we have less than 2 weeks : (   to get all the freebies we need!

Let’s begin with the stunning background piece Brenda created with the “Irresistibly Yours” Specialty Designer series paper. These come white with a glossy white pattern so you can color using a variety of techniques! Brenda created her’s by simply sponging the colors onto the paper and then wiping off any excess…. it really is stunning!

The beautiful butterfly and the flower come from a Sale-a-bration stamp set that was added to the already hefty list of freebies! This is the “Nature’s Perfection” stamp set…

And last by definitely not least is the “Simply Wonderful” stamp set Brenda used for her greeting. I love this stamp set, it has wonderful “useful” greetings with nice fonts … aren’t we always looking for new and more greetings!

I hope you enjoyed Brenda’s card as much as everyone in our Star’s group did!  I will have more of our swaps to share in the upcoming week.

Be sure to stop back tomorrow for my “Simply Sunday” … I will also be featuring the “Irresistibly Yours” paper and the “Simply Wonderful” stamp set!

Thanks so much for stopping by …

Have a wonderful Saturday!
