Textures & Frames; who knew you could create such fun & variety?!


At first this stamp set baffled me; what would I do with it?  Well leave it up to the creativity of others to spark my own!  I got some ideas online and all of a sudden I couldn't stop! 

I shared all of these cards and tips on making them on this week's Tuesday FB Live.  Look!

The card above is my favorite.  It truly makes me smile!  That sentiment is from the In Your Words stamp set in the back of the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It's free with a $300 order through Sept 30th.  See it here. 

You may wonder how I achieved that perfectly shaped smile on these faces.  I searched all of my stamp sets for a circle shape and found one in the cat in the Cute Halloween set.  Watch the video here or seen below to see how I did it.  The eyes are clear rhinestones colored Black with my Blends marker.  The colors are Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Fresh Freesia and Pacific Point. 

In the video I also share a neat tip on getting a smaller Postage shape from our Rectangular Postage Stamp punch.  

If you love quirky and unique get this while you can.  This fun Textures & Frames stamp set is free with a $50 through the end of September. *stock up on your favorites and earn it free!

This next card uses the same solid circle image to create a colorful background for the nice, large greeting in the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set.  I also used the Basic Border dies to create the eye catching rick-rack border trim. 

These colors include Fresh Freesia, Bermuda Bay & Granny Apple Green. 

~~~

Next I added some vellum dragonflies to a colorful column on this White card using the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and the Dragonflies punch.  

The greeting is also from the wonderful In Your Words stamp set; I fussy cute it and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

~~~

I love this one too!  It's cased from my Team Member Tracey.  I had to make one in these colors.  

The die-cut swirl is from the Painted Labels dies and again the greeting is from the In Your Words stamp set. 

~~~

I was inspired by the card on the lower right (seen by other Demo's) to create one with TALL candles!  I used my Stamparatus for both of these cards!  Watch how in the video below or click here. 

These colors include Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point & Crushed Curry. The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. 

Which is your favorite??

~~~

And lastly is a simple card using the open circle image and a few stars die-cut with the Stitched Stars dies and our Rainbow Glimmer paper.  

The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set.  I love how easy you can create a masculine card with this unique stamp set!  

Don't miss out if you want this set! It's unavailable after Sept 30th! You'll also get 10 free hand-made cards from me with a $50 order!  Details are below.

  • Inked & Tiled with a gorgeous background with video & blending tips!


    Today I'm sharing one of my favorite cards I've made this month. These colors are so me!  I needed to make 28 of these for the Norway cruise with Stampin' Up! We have to option of joining a card swap and I always try to do something unique for this special swap. 

    I chose the new Copper Clay with Black and Coastal Cabana. Aren't they beautiful together? 

    This card features the new Inked & Tiled stamp set seen here. It actually comes in a bundle with two punches. But I didn't use those here.  

    After I stamped the flowers in Black ink I used Blending Brushes to add both Coastal Cabana and Copper Clay ink.  We have both regular and small Blending Brushes now.  For a background like this I recommend the larger set of brushes. See them here.

    Tip: when wanting a smooth blend, I recommend adding ink to your brush and start off of your paper. Slowly work your way on with a soft, gentle swirling motion. Adding pressure can give you blotches or other marks.  It's also helpful to have a fully inked pad.  *Remember that is helps to add ink a little at a time. It can be a slow process! 


    Isn't that texture gorgeous with the blended background?!  

    When I was creating this card I made the card on the right first.  If you look closely the stamped panel does not have any texture on it.  Adding the Exposed Brick embossing created the perfect finish!  


    In the video I share two other beautiful cards made with the Inked & Tiled stamp set.  

    You can watch me make this card on the video here. Or click on the photo below to watch.

  • Fresh, new color combination with Inked &Tiled – fun fold with video tutorial too


    I've been working double time getting ready to leave for our Norway cruise – this year's incentive trip with Stampin' Up!  I'm thrilled to go on this year's trip with my husband.  He's a fabulous traveling partner! 

    Depending on WIFI, I hope to share photos on Facebook and Instagram while we're gone.

    "Fewer than 1% of Stampin’ Up!’s demonstrators worldwide achieve this trip."

    ~~~  

    I'm not usually a Subtles or Neutrals kind of gal but I sure love this beautiful color combination!  It's Gray Granite, Petal Pink with a bit of our new Pebbled Path.  

    What do you think?  I haven't Gray Granite often because I never found a color to pair it with.  But Pebbled Path is gorgeous and among the same color tones. And add Petal Pink and it's beautiful!  

    I stamped the large leaf image repeatedly on the Gray Granite layer. The greeting is on a white die-cut from the Timeless Arrangements dies. I added a few of the pretty die-cuts under the greeting before layering a folded piece of ribbon (Ribbon Duo Combo Pack) and then to the punched & textured Petal Pink circle.  

    My card is an easy Z-fold – 4 1/4" X 11" card base scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".  

    I added lots of texture with the Timeless Arrangements dies.  The pretty 'Hello' greeting is from the new Layering Leaves stamp set. It's a new favorite and I LOVE that it matches the Bough punch!  See it here.

    Isn't it a beautiful set? 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 4 ¼” X 11” score at 2 ¾” & 5 ½”
    • Earthen Elegance DSP front 2 ¾” X 4”
    • Gray Granite 4” X 3”
    • Petal Pink 3 ¼” X 4 ¼”,  circle 2 ¾”
    • White inside 5” X 3 ¾”

  • Cheerful Daisies card; perfect for Springtime!


    I'm excited to share this pretty card with you. We made it at my May card clubs. It features the Cheerful Daisy bundle.  

    I absolutely love the colors!  I chose Lemon Lolly, Garden Green, white and the new Azure Afternoon.  I think the blue washed layer from the Fresh as a Daisy designer paper shows off the white & yellow daisies perfectly.  

    Here's how we finished the inside: 

    I sponged extra yellow on the Lemon Lolly daisy centers before adding the White die-cut over them. Here's  a photo of the dies  display I made: I did not add the separate individual daisies that fir over the large yellow die-cut below.  On my card they're white.

    The ribbon wraps all around the card front and ties on the far left.  The greeting covers the knot so you see mostly the ends. 

    Check out that amazing, detailed greenery die-cut!  It even comes out of the die easily.  Love it!  


    See the Cheerful Daisies bundle here; I think it's wonderful!  Best daisy set we've had for awhile.
