Try 3-D Scrapbooking to Enhance your Photos!

Posted in 3-D Projects, Gift Giving ideas, Scrapbook by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I have a 3-D project to share with you that has a touch of scrapbooking flair! As the temperature drops, there’s no better time to embark on a journey of artistic expression, and the Bee Mine Suite is here to make it even more enchanting. This whimsical assortment features an array of “bee”utifully designed stamps & papers; from buzzing bees and honeycomb patterns to sweet sentiments that evoke the warmth of heartfelt emotions. 

I want to share and inspire you with this cute creation ….

Let’s start with what makes this a 3-D project … this cute little picture frame that I picked up at the $$1.25 Store! This is a cute picture frame to begin with and holds a 4″ x 3″ photo, so that is the measurement of my designer paper. These cute little projects make the PERFECT Grandparents Gift on Valentines Day and cute to have around the house as your 3-D Scrapbook. Friends love these too!

The photo montage can be easily moved into your scrapbook. I attached the bee and jar of honey with a glue dot (Just enough to hold it) and then using your Take Your Pick tool… you can remove it as well to go into your scrapbook. 

The sentiment, bee and jar of honey all come from the Bee Mine Suite.  I used the Circle Die from Stylish Shapes and the banner die from Nested Essentials to embellish my creation and to create the focal point! And yes, that is my Armani again. This one is going to his mama for Valentines Day ❤

Whether you’re assembling a scrapbook filled with cherished memories or working on a whimsical 3-D project, the Bee Mine Suite provides the perfect elements to bring your vision to life. I’ve got links to the products used today below.

Thank you for joining me today.

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 ~

Touch of Whimsy your Style? Try the Festive & Fun Stamp Set

Posted in Christmas, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Are you looking to add a touch of whimsy and color to your holiday cardmaking? Look no further than the delightful Festive & Fun stamp set, coupled with the versatility of Stampin’ Blends markers! Specifically designed for ease and creativity, these tools can transform a our cute giraffe stamp into a vibrant, eye-catching focal point.

One of the standout features of the Festive & Fun stamp set is its charming giraffe illustration. This adorable character becomes a joy to color using Stampin’ Blends. These alcohol-based markers offer smooth and seamless blending, allowing both novice and experienced crafters to achieve professional-looking results effortlessly.

The secret to achieving stunning color depth lies in the layering and blending capabilities of Stampin’ Blends. Begin by selecting your desired shades for the giraffe’s body: Lemon Lolly & Medium Naturals. I used the Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce and Smoky Slate to color the rest. With the fine and brush tips of the markers, apply the lighter shade as the base layer and gradually add depth by layering the darker shade. I go over again once I lay down the darker color which really blends them and creates a visually appealing finish.

I used the Scallop Contour Dies to highlight my images and took it one step further by coloring the stitch lines around the die … the Designer paper is a Walk in the Forest. For each package of designer paper sold, $3 will be donated to a charity (Toy’s for Tots) in our area.

If you caught my video / post yesterday … you’ll notice that “brushing” technique using the Shimmer White Embossing paste on my tree. So, unleash your creativity and bring this adorable giraffe to life with the vivid hues of Stampin’ Blends markers. Even a subtle change in designer papers and layer can add to the festivities! Don’t forget that Wink of Stella on your Star and ornaments!!

Time to grab your Festive & Fun stamp set, Stampin’ Blends markers, and Nested Essentials Dies, and embark on a colorful crafting escapade today!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy crafting!
