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.

    ~~~

    We held our monthly team swap last week and I am proud to show off their talent with you. 

    First is a pretty card made by Jane who featured the Softly Stippled designer paper seen here. 

    She also used the Deckled Circle dies, Something Fancy & Gorgeously Made dies, along with the Something Fancy stamp set for her greeting.  Love the colors of Wild Wheat with Lost Lagoon together! 

    There are many possible color combos in this pretty designer paper. Most people pass by it in the catalog or online but in person the pretty colors and soft prints sell it!

    This Softly Stippled DSP is one of the free choices during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. Earn it free with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase. See it online here. 

    ~~~

    Next is a fun fold card made by Paula who also chose the Softly Stippled designer paper. 

    Her fun fold is a 'Joy fold' turned on it's side.  Very cool.  It's filled with textures and two coordinating colors of Wild Wheat & Calypso Coral which are the colors in the pretty designer paper. Her greeting is from the Softly Sophisticated bundle and the Double Oval punch is used too. 

    Measurements:

    • Wild Wheat – card base is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", middle layer is 3" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • Calypso Coral is 4" X 8 1/2" scored at 5 1/4"
    • White textured layer is 3"X 3 3/4" (done with Basics 3D embossing folder) & inside is 2 3/4" X 4"

     

    ~~~

    Next is a beautiful monochromatic card made by Candy who chose to use the Softly Sophisticated bundle seen here.  It includes both a stamp set & the pretty embossing folder used here. 

    Her colors are Very Vanilla with Pecan Pie.  That main scenic image is from the Quiet Reflection stamp set seen here.  It's a distinktive set which means it provides multiple hues of color when stamped with one ink. 

    Measurements:

    • Pecan Pie card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
    • Vanilla 5 1/4" X 4", center is 3" square, scrap for greeting die-cut (Perennial Postage dies)

  • Shabby Chic Lovely & Sweet card with video tutorial & free project sheet!


    Here's the last card made in last week's video featuring the Nature's Sweetness suite. I absolutely love this color palette! 

    It's Pecan Pie with Pebbled Path & Gold accents with a rich monotone look. Look closely at the layout. It's basically a few random layers with only one that's layered.  Adding a few smaller elements creates the balance here. 

    Details & tips:

    • Note the distressed edges on a few of the layers. That is done by rubbing your open scissor blade over the edge of the paper.  Fast and fabulous results! *watch how I do it in the video below.
    • The large stamped Pecan Pie layer and the DSP square are both sponged with Pecan Pie ink to age them a bit. 
    • That butterfly is one of our Paper Butterfly Accents colored with a Light Natural Tones blends marker. I added some Gold Enamel Effects in streaks all over it. *see how in the video
    • I added Gold Enamel Effects as berries on the tall leaf die-cut on the left. 

    Here's how I stamped the inside.  The greeting is from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set from Sale-a-Bration. 

    Here's a picture of the Lovely & Sweet bundle I used here. See it online here.

  • Lovely & Sweet card is filled with textures; get the free project sheet or watch the video


    This is one of the cards I featured on last week's Live video. I chose to showcase the Nature's Sweetness suite.  

    The colors include Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake, Pretty Peacock, White & Pecan Pie. See the neat woven trim on the edge?  that is done with the new Faux Leather trim that has a subtle gold shimmer to it.  The holes and the leaves are made with the Notes of Nature dies seen here. 

    Below is a photo of the entire suite of products. 

    If you order this suite you'll earn two free Sale-a-Bration choices!  Or get it and almost $20 more with the Starter Kit deal! 

    Other dies include the Cheerful Daisies for the label and the Deckled Circles behind the flowers/leaves.  I also used the Wink of Stella with Lost Lagoon ink to color the flowers and added a Blooming Pearl to each one.
