Nutz about Stamping

Combining 3 different products can bring an interesting result

I have to admit that the jury is out on today's card that I created using this week's card sketch challenge:

 

I think this challenge is one of the more unique ones and for a while I drew a blank. At first I thought that the paper strips could be designer paper, and they could. But that didn't speak to me so I cancelled out that idea. 

Then I spotted:

 

This canvas-looking Hues of Happiness paper features illustrated and painted flowers on one side with all-purpose patterns on the other side. Designed to represent the Stampin' Up! color spectrum, the repeating patterns can be used as focal images or as accent pieces on your card bases and scrapbook layouts. Or create elegant backgrounds with the color gradient patterned sheets. And that's what I decided to do! 

Fun Fact: If you are on Instagram, check out this official Stampin' Up! video, showing how the Hues of Happiness paper - so cool! 

Right. Paper chosen. 

Next: the strips. I immediately thought of my Sending dies. I chose the shorter tag die which I would use instead of paper strips. 

 

And now for the phrase. That also came easily - from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set:

 

 

Combine these three products and you can make this card too: 

I would love to see what you create using this sketch challenge, especially if you use uneven lengths of the strips. I just couldn't do it - maybe you are braver than I!

4 simple products you can use to create a beautiful teacher gift idea

School will be starting soon and so I created a video to show you how to use your crafting supplies to make a gift for your children's teachers this year. If you no longer have children of school age, no worries; this gift idea is also great for coworkers and friends too.

 

Here's what I used for my teacher gift:

 

The Happiness Abounds stamp set features all-occasion sentiments to celebrate those you love with greetings in various sizes and line-art floral images perfect for coloring which is what we will be doing today. You can also create simple designs with a solitary blossom and use those as accent pieces on your paper crafting projects. You can go simple or more sophisticated whatever pleases your artistic taste.

 

The dies not only match the stamp set but you can also use them on the coordinating Hues of Happiness designer paper. I used this paper for my teacher gift idea as well.

 

 

I also used the Glossy Dots Assortment pack on my project - did you know that you can get the entire collection at a discounted price? Who doesn't LOVE saving money? This has to be one of my all-time favorite collections - it has so many uses!

Note: this suite is so popular that it is showing 'low inventory'. Get yours now by clicking on the photo below.

Giving a gift? Let this trio of cuteness give you helping hand

It is always exciting when we are introduced to a new catalogue and the range of new products that we are going to be able to add to our collection. Amongst all the beautiful festive bundles in the new July-August Mini-Catalogue are the cute Christmas Scottie Stamp Set and coordinating Scottie Dog Punch.

The Photopolymer Stamp Set features three Scottie Dogs in different poses and a selection of bows, ribbons, a present, some snowflakes and a square tartan stamp. The tartan can be used as a background, as a rug or blanket and to create tartan Scottie dogs.

The coordinating punch matches the standing dog image and the larger of the bows. As well as punching out the stamped image, you can also create fun, bold dogs in a variety of patterns by punching dogs from Designer Series Paper.

This card was created by punching 2 Scottie Dogs from Basic White cardstock. One was turned over to the other side before both dogs were stamped in the Tartan design – one in Cherry Cobbler and the other in Night of Navy.

A Deckled rectangle was cut in Basic White and the sentiment stamped on it in Night of Navy ink. The two dogs were stuck onto the rectangle facing each other. They were each given a bow of the opposite colour. Some Silver Metallic Edge Cotton Ribbon was coloured with a Night of Navy marker and used to wrap around the base of the rectangle. A smaller piece was used to create a knot.

A larger Cherry Cobbler Deckled Rectangle was embossed with the Gingham Embossing Folder. The Basic White layer was stuck to this Cherry Cobbler layer. They were both added to a Night of Navy card base that had been randomly stamped with snowflakes in Night of Navy ink.

A Basic White insert was added to the inside and this too had been stamped with Night of Navy snowflakes.

This delightful Christmas Scottie bundle will make a great addition to your festive crafting supplies this year, so remember to add them to your shopping list.

Have you seen the product to use to create perfect puffs of snow?

Snowfall Accents Puff Paint is advertised by Stampin’ Up! As a wintry accent for creating perfect puffs of snow. It does do this very well. Simply shake the bottle before using, apply a thin coating to your artwork and use the Heat Tool to transform it into festive 3D snowflake accents.

However, Snowfall Accents Puff paint is not just for snow! This decorative accent can be used for so many more creative accents. Such as:

· Beverage foam – any beverage that has a foamy layer on top – such as a freshly poured mug beer or a root beer float

· Whipped Cream – top off a dessert image or ice cream shake with a topping of fluffy whipped cream

· Marshmallows – add dimension to a s’more dessert image or a cup of hot cocoa with marshmallows floating on top

· Bubble Bath – imagine a bubble bath overflowing with bubbles – give those bubbles some dimension & texture with this puff paint

· Clouds – add dimension to images of clouds to emphasize

· Stones – give a stone walkway some dimension by adding puff paint to the stones. Then add color after heat setting with a Stampin’ Write Marker or Blends Marker.

Note: Stampin’ Up! Does warn that applying the paint over a stamped image may cause the ink to smear. I did not experience this, but I suggest you test a sample before applying the paint to a piece of artwork that you have spent a lot of time working on.

2 colors can create a soft, serene and simple background layer

I love all things Asian. I think it is the peaceful, tranquil feeling that I get when I experience Asian design which has clean and simple lines, and uses organic materials like bamboo and wood with a touch of greenery from plants. The brushstroke style of the Bamboo Beauty set helps you to create a serene looking card in an Asian design.

 

 

 

The bamboo images in this stamp set are sized perfectly for cardmaking; either stamp the branches in a random pattern for a minimal look or use the bamboo and branch images together to create a bamboo forest. The authentic kanji symbols translate to “friendship” so this stamp set is perfect for gender neutral friendship cards. Aren't the phrases fabulous!

 

When creating an Asian style card, try to achieve an overall effect that is very peaceful and calming and you can do that through your ink pad choices. 

 

I applied ink using some sponges - check out your local craft store for synthetic silk sponges. You can usually get a pack of them (8 - 10) and they are very inexpensive.

 

Today I am going to show you how to create a beautiful clean and simple Bamboo Beauty card idea. The background for this card is created using a fun sponging technique. You ready to learn how? Here's my card and don't miss my step-by-step video below.

Stampin’ Up! announced at the beginning of July that it was time to celebrate World Watercolor month and even though July is over, dust off your watercolor pencils  as I have a fab idea using the Stylish Sketches stamp set from SALE-a-bration.

What products would you use to create a beautiful forest fantasy?

Oohhhh, today's card map challenge is full of possibilities!

I feel I kind of went for the obvious on my card but I LOVE how it turned out. I have a new pack of paper from the July - December mini catalog, called Boughs of Holly and one of the patterns is filled with trees - can you spot it below:

These beautiful papers embrace the classic emerald green and rich reds we love to see at Christmastime with poinsettia, holly, and evergreen motifs. It also includes a more neutral birch tree bark pattern, soft polka dots, and abstract swatches of classic seasonal colors. You can also cut out images for quick textured and detailed layering pieces. Create card fronts, gift tags, scrapbook pages, and more!

But: this paper goes beyond Christmas as you will see below. I think the pattern I chose pairs beautifully with the Majestic Mountain dies!

And here's my challenge card:

And, yes, it is your turn now! Try this week's card map challenge and see what kind of forest fantasy you can create.

Holly Berry dies - so many more uses than just for Christmas cards

The Leaves of Holly bundle is a beautiful new Christmas bundle introduced in the July – December Mini Catalog.

From simple touches to elaborate designs, garnish your seasonal cards, tags, and gift boxes with this classic Christmastime foliage. You can stamp either the base leaf stamp or detailed leaf stamp alone for quick greenery. Or take advantage of the Two-Step design to create images with added texture and dimension. Try out different color combinations on your leaves and berries to create beautiful boughs of holly. Make beautiful crafts, “From Our Home to Yours” and spread the “Peace & Joy” of the season.

But you don’t have to stick to the Christmas theme when using the dies. Combine the dies with other products you have on hand to create cards for other occasions too. Think fall, masculine, memory pages, spring, and summer!

Here’s one idea to try:

And here’s how to make this beautiful friendship card.

Supplies Stamp sets: Eden’s Garden (157823)

Paper and cutting dimensions: Old Olive: 8 ½” x 5 ½”; (2) 3 ½” x 2” Mossy Meadow: 3 ½” x 3”; (2) ½” x 4”

7. Adhere leaves to card base, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

8. Attach phrase layer to card base using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

It’s time to take a second look at your stamp sets and dies, to see how you can use them beyond the obvious.

this is the EASIEST way to make beautiful cards (no complicated tools required)!

Do you find yourself wanting to make a beautiful card but you just don't have a lot of time to make it? Do you believe that cannot make beautiful cards because you don't have fancy tools and a pile of products? Today I am going to show you how to create a beautiful 'clean and simple' Color & Contour card idea, one that is stunning. You ready to learn how?

 

'Clean & Simple' is a technique that I don't use that often and I don't know why. All you need is a stamp set, ink and cardstock. If you love what you make the first time, you can easily make lots more and in a short period of time. 

I recommend the Color & Contour stamp set for getting creatively colorful. The open-line floral art and abstract filler stamps allows for a range of coloring techniques. Try freehand watercoloring for a modern look, or use ink and sponge daubers on the filler stamps to create an ombre floral effect! This set is also available in French.

Tip: click on the link below to order the stamp set at my online store! 

 

When the Color & Contour set was first introduced it was bundled with these FAB dies. Each are still available to order but now are sold separately. So if you don't yet have the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and dies, no worries. You can still make today's card. 

Here's how to make this beautiful card at home. For step-by-step instructions, check out my video below. 

Supplies
Stamp set: Colour & Contour (154994)

Ink: Polished Pink; Fresh Freesia; Parakeet Party; Tahitian Tide; Starry Sky

Make your own singing songbird ensemble with the Sweet Songbirds bundle

Remember the struggle I had with last week's card map? Well, this week went so much better!

Everything fell into place so sweetly (pun intended). I started with a piece of the In Color designer series paper:

From there I had a look through my stamp sets and spotted Sweet Songbirds, which I haven't used in a while: 

You can make your own singing songbird ensemble with the Sweet Songbirds Stamp Set! Stamp the images in different colors for a custom look—a light pink body, a darker pink wing, and yellow feet. Nestle your birds into the nest image or perch them on top of the branch. With multiple everyday sentiments, you're sure to use this cute stamp set all year long!

Or you can keep it super simple too, by stamping directly onto your card stock. To add a little pizzazz to my card I stamped the leaves twice, cut out one set and used Mini Stampin' Dimensionals for visual interest. 

Here's my card:
