Nutz about Stamping

What set would you use to show off your favorite critters?

What a fun card map challenge this week! When you see favorite critters, what stamp set comes to mind?

For me it was instant: Wildly Happy! (click on the set photo to hop over to my online store)

How can you not love this stamp set? It is perfect for baby cards and children's cards, isn't it? The images are super sweet and perfect for those of you who love to watercolor, use Stampin' Blends, Stampin' Write markers, watercolor pencils and so on. 

The other fun part of this week's card map challenge is that there is no specific layout to follow. So your creative ideas can spill over onto your card stock. I decided to keep my layout very simple. I used a piece of the Well Suited paper pack:

my Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends and a strip of Basic Gray satin ribbon. To feature my favorite critters I chose to layer them onto one of my Stitched Nested Labels dies - such a nice way to feature my critters. 

Here's my card:

Now it's your turn. Try our weekly challenge and make a card using your favorite critters! We'd love for you to share your card over on the Paper Craft Crew but if you are too shy to do so, hop on over there anyway for a quick look at what everyone else created. You just might get some additional inspiration!

We are wildly happy about your new little one

In today's card and video tutorial, I am going to show you how to make a super sweet baby card idea. It's that time of year to start thinking about all those new little ones that are going to be coming into the world in the next few months so let's make a card to celebrate their birth. I am going to use the Wildly Happy stamp set and I will combine it with the new Stone 3D embossing folder!

Wildly Happy Cling Stamp Set
$21.00

 

 

 

 

I think the Wildly Happy stamp set is one of the best ever for baby cards. The images are so sweet and the line art images mean that you can colors them with your favorite coloring tools. 

What makes this card really special is that I paired the stamp set with the Stone 3D embossing folder, that is bundled with the Power of Hope stamp set - a FREE Sale-a-Bration choice with a qualifying order:

Power Of Hope Bundle
$0.00

 

 

 

 

I was inspired for my card by an idea that another demonstrator created. Her card looks completely different from mine below but when I saw her use the Stone embossing folder on her Wildly Happy card, I got today's idea - don't you love how seeing what someone else has created can spark a new idea for you? 

I decided to keep my card very monochromatic using Smoky Slate as my base color - it made me think of the color of an elephant and how the elephant's skin looks similar to the Stone 3D folder. 

Here's how to make my card, along with a video tutorial. Don't miss the extra tips on my video!

How to make a non-gender baby card

I have several colleagues at work who are expecting their first baby and all of them have decided not to find out whether it will be a boy or a girl. 

So that can make it a bit difficult when creating a baby card. What commonly happens is that card designers choose yellows or greens for card bases, just to be on the safe side. 

This Hoot Hoot Hooray card uses combo of greens: Soft Sea Foam and Mint Macaron. The Mint Macaron layer was embossed using the Tufted folder, perfect for a baby card (and wedding cards too). 

Hoot Hoot Hooray Cling Stamp Set
$21.00

The rocking horse image was coloured using Stampin' Blends and here's where the fun happens. Both pinks and blues were used to color the image, making it perfect for a card that is non-gender specific. Add a simple, sparkly bow and the card is complete:

Below is list of supplies used to make this card. You can click on the 'shop now' button on the right side of my blog to link over to my online store.

A sweet baby card that will be loved by all

This week's Paper Craft Crew challenge was a tough one for me because I thought I didn't have any sets that would work:

Last year's catalog would have worked for me because I had the Pretty Kitty set. So I almost gave up on myself and was thinking that I would simply skip this week's challenge. 

Until I got home from work and decided to see what I had that might work (I am persistent!). First I spotted the Dashing Deer set and convinced myself that a deer could be a pet. Ok ok, yes I was grasping at creative straws! 

But then I saw the Wildly Happy set. I automatically gravitate to the elephants because I just love them. And then I spotted the bunnies and BINGO, I would use this image for this week's card.

Lately I have been doing some simple stamping, keeping it easy on myself and surprisingly I have quite liked what I have created. Here's my card - all I did was use Versamark ink for the flower images on the Seaside Spray card base (yummy color it is!) and then a strip of left over Magnolia Lane paper as a contrasting layer and to coordinate with the  'grass' and flower stems (from the Daisy Delight stamp set). 

Here's my card, what do you think?

A baby card to make you wildly happy

When I saw this week's challenge map I knew right away what special event I wanted to create a card for: a baby! 

What celebration comes to mind when you see this challenge and what Stampin' Up! sets would you use? Leave me a comment under this post and share what you'd make.

Remember a couple of weeks ago I wrote a fun blog post to introduce the Wildly Happy stamp set? (if you missed it, click here)

Well that card was so fun to make and I love that set so much that I thought I would show you a second idea in case you decide to purchase it when the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog goes live next month. 

Plus, I made a New Year's resolution to use up my supplies this year so I will be guilt-free when the next Annual Catalog launches as I know I will want everything in there! 

So I gathered up the Wildly Happy stamp set, the Twinkle, Twinkle paper bits I had stored away, my Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends, and my Best Route Enamel Shapes (retiring this month). 

Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper
$11.00

Best Route Enamel Shapes
$7.00

After I stamped and colored the elephants image I die-cut it out, along with the Petal Pink layer, using my Layering Squares framelits dies. I stamped and punched the phrase - easy peasy!

And I made this Wildly Happy baby card:

This time I remembered to take a photo of the inside of the card so you can see one way to tie the inside to the outside:

Now it's your turn: challenge yourself to make a card for a special celebration even if you can't think of one coming up. You just never know when one will happen.

A fun way to frame a super cute baby image

What do a frog, a giraffe, a koala bear, a bird, a kangaroo and a rhino all have in common? The answer's obvious: they're all in the Animal Outing stamp set! And today I have a cute baby card idea that you can create that will frame one if the images in this set - literally. 

 

Animal Outing Clear-Mount Stamp Set
$21.00

I think that the new Rectangular Stitched framelits dies will have so many uses, one of them being as frames on card fronts. Right now they come in this cool bundle but in the next Annual Catalog (goes live June 4th) you can purchase them separately. 

Amazing Life Photopolymer Bundle
$50.25

When I think of baby cards, there are two ways to go: 1. soft muted colors like the Subtles collection (pinks, blues, greens, purples, yellows) or 2. Brights, which have deeper tones: blues, yellows, greens and oranges. It depends on my mood when crafting or if I know the preference of the mom to be and I want to match that. 

Or sometimes you just want to be crazy and create a bright, colorful and happy card! Why not give this idea a try? Grab your framelits, and Stampin' Blends and create a fun way to frame a super cute baby card. Here's the great news! The Animal Outing set is also coming back in the Annual Catalog! 

I love the idea of stamping directly onto the Gingham Gala paper, give it a try and see if you like it too!

Here's how to make this card:

Supplies:

• Stamps:  Animal Outing  (146597, wood)  (146600, clear)
• Cardstock:  Pineapple Punch (146971), Grapefruit Grove (146972), Whisper White (100730), Gingham Gala 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (148554)

• Miscellaneous: Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (143263), Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755), Stitched Rectangle Framelit Dies (150624), Crumb Cake Blends Combo Pack (144601), Granny Apple Green Blends Combo Pack (147274), Light Daffodil Delight Blend (144586), Light Old Olive Blend (144574)

Measurements:

• Grapefruit Grove: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
• Whisper White:  4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Instructions:

1. Score and fold Pineapple Punch card base.
2. Using the second largest rectangle and the Big Shot cut out the Whisper White layer.  Stamp using the Memento stamp pad and color using the Blends. 
3. Using the second largest and the fourth largest rectangle and the Big Shot cut the frame out of the Grapefruit Grove cardstock.  
4. Using Multipurpose Liquid Glue adhere the frame over the Whisper White 'picture' you have created.
5. Adhere the framed 'picture' to the base card.
6. Stamp 'Welcome Little One' on a 1/2" strip of the matching Gingham Gala DSP.  Cut to length desired and cut a small triangle out of the right end to create a banner.  Adhere with Multipurpose Glue.

This baby card will make someone wildly happy

I can't resist a play on words (sorry). When I won the Wildly Happy stamp set at Stampin' Up!s On Stage event this month I was wildly happy (HA). 

I love the baby images and phrases in this set and decided that even though it won't be released for purchase until June 3, I would start you off with one baby card idea that will make someone wildly happy (ok, I will stop it now). 

The first product that came to mind was the Wood Textures designer series paper and so I chose a left over piece from the pack - it seemed to have a bit of grey in the design so I decided my card base would be Smoky Slate. 

Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack
$11.00

Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends Markers Combo Pack
$9.00

 

All the images in the Wildly Happy stamp set are designed to be colored so I chose my Smoky Slate Combo Stampin' Blends to add a touch of color to the elephant image. A couple of embellishments and my card was done!

What do you think of the Wildly Happy stamp set? Leave me a comment below if you would like to see more card ideas using this super cute set (now you know how I feel about it - wildly happy perhaps??)

The perfect way to welcome a new baby

In today's video tutorial, I am going to show you how to create a very cute and colorful baby card idea, with the help of my Big Shot and Beauty Abounds stamp set.

I recently heard that two friends of mine are each expecting their first baby so I need to get cracking on some baby cards for them. I don't have specific baby sets so thought I would use what I have and then use the 'baby' phrase from the Well Written framelits pack.

Beauty Abounds Cling Stamp Set
$23.00

Well Written Framelits Dies
$40.00

As I don't know the gender of these new little ones I thought I would go for colors that are more gender neutral: Lemon Lime Twist (retiring soon!) and Highland Heather. 

Here's my card idea: the perfect way to welcome a new baby. I have included a list of supplies, measurements and my video below!

 

Stamp set: Beauty Abounds

Ink: Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist

          Highland Heather: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"; 2 3/4" square; 2 1/2" x 1 1/4"

How to create a quick and colorful baby card

Babies are born year round so it is a really good idea to have a stash waiting just in case. Today I will show you how to create a quick and colorful baby card idea using the Better Together stamp set. This set is perfect for so many occasions so I am going to create a series of card and video tutorials (see a second card idea here) using this set so you see the value in purchasing it .

To make the card below I started by choosing a strip of the Twinkle, Twinkle designer paper and let the colors in the paper be my guide for all the layers. The colors in this paper pack are:

• Night of Navy
• Gray Granite
• Petal Pink
• Soft Sea Foam
• Pool Party
• Whisper White

I also decided to keep the card very simple by using one diaper pin as the main embellishment. You can add more for more details and interest but I wanted this card to be simple so only used one.

When did you last make a card for a little friend?

 Don't forget those little people in your lives - even the ones who can't read yet. I have a very young nephew who lives in Canada and although he doesn't know me well, I still send him a card once in a while to help him practice reading and also so he knows that I still love him to bits from afar. 

The card below is such fun to create for a special young person and the Call Me Clover color is perfect for either gender. The Little Elephant set is bundled with a fun Elephant Builder punch so you can create a bunch of cards for a variety of occasions  - just change the phrase to meet your needs!
