Nutz about Stamping

These 3 bundle products make beautiful cards for any occasion

The Changing Leaves stamp set from Stampin' Up! is a must-have for any paper crafter who loves the fall season.

This set features a variety of intricate leaf designs, from delicate veins to bold and graphic shapes. The coordinating dies make cutting out these gorgeous leaves a breeze, allowing you to add dimension and texture to your projects effortlessly.

Here's what I love about this bundle:

• Versatile Designs: The stamp set includes multiple leaf shapes and sizes, perfect for creating layered looks and unique compositions.
• Coordinating Dies: The dies are designed to perfectly match the stamps, making it easy to cut out your stamped images for a polished, professional finish.
• Embossing folder: Die-cut your leaves and then emboss OR emboss and then die-cut. Either method works perfectly using designer series paper or plain cardstock. 
• All Occasion Sentiments: Complete your cards with beautiful sentiments included in the setl - no need sentiments from other sets! 

I chose to use the Changing Leaves bundle on this week's Paper Craft Crew tic-tac-toe challenge:

I combined the bundle with my Full of Life designer series paper - I have really come to love the colors and designs in this pack:

You can create beautiful projects using these dies

Hello fellow crafters! I bought a new set of dies and I can’t wait to show you this fun card idea using them. 

These are the Pocket Thoughts Dies. You can get them bundled with a stamp set but I chose to purchase them separately because  I immediately saw so many uses for them using the supplies I already have.

As the name already indicates, these dies allow you to add fun pockets in different sizes to your paper crafts and these pockets can hold gift cards, money, and anything else you like!

I choose to use some left-over bits of the Perennial Lavender paper to make my card a real stand-out. Yes! You can still buy this paper at my online store. 

The hand-painted designs were inspired by fields of wild lavender and the wildflowers that grow right alongside it. Use these lovely sheets as a background image or die-cut pieces to use as an accent for your card making projects, which is what I will do for today's project. 

The steps to make my card are super easy. All you have to do is watch the video below - you will also get to see the inside of the card!

Here's what you need to gather together to make this project at home.

Doesn't this stamp set make you feel happy?

It does to me. And today's card is just as play as the images and fonts in the Happiest Day stamp set: 

Create paper crafts with versatile sentiments and artwork perfect for a variety of occasions. Send a card to encourage, say hello, wish happy birthday, or just recognize a friend in a cute, heartfelt way. Combine images to create sun rays, dragonflies, and rainbows in one or multiple colors. Stamp any images repeatedly to create a fun background or make your favorite design the centerpiece of your card. The Hey sentiment fits nicely within the sun ray and the sprinkle texture piece is great for collage style backgrounds. This stamp set has so many creative options for so many occasions!

You need to try this cool card technique

Hi fellow crafters! Today I have a really cool textured background idea to share. This technique will take your cards to the next level!

For my project I am using the Friends for Life bundle:

The set includes a variety of sentiments that can be used individually or together to create a perfectly personalized message. The different fonts and sizes make it fun to mix and match.

The dies feature a large heart shape with a patterned interior, which we will be using on today’s card plus a variety of smaller hearts that make cute accent pieces. Use either of the sentiment die cuts as the focal point of your card or tag. I am going to be using this leaf die to create today’s background technique so let’s get started.

To add a touch of color to my card I chose a pattern in the Full of Life Designer Series Paper pack - so yummy!

Here's how to take your papercrafting to the next level

Today I want to introduce an Annual Catalog bundle that is not just a stamp set and dies, but also a set of 5 masks too. I am going to show you how to use them on a piece of designer series paper. Want to see this cool technique?

Introducing the Layers of Beauty bundle: 

Add eye-catching details to your paper crafts with this bundle! The set features a card-front-sized floral arrangement. It's perfect for using different coloring tools and creating something unique for each recipient. You can customize it even further with the additional stems and small flowers stamps. Finish off your craft with a heart-warming sentiment!

You can use the big floral die for a quick and cute paper piece or use the smaller florals and branches and arrange the flowers however you want! You can use the die cuts on patterned paper for fast crafting or try them on Basic White cardstock and then experiment with different coloring techniques.

This bundle includes 5 masks that are meant to be layered, one by one, to create a special image. The masks are numbered 1–5 so you know which layer comes next. There are also notches in the masks to help with perfect alignment. Mix and match the ink colors you use for fun crafting each time!

What makes this technique special is that I am going to stamp directly onto designer series paper and then color the image! When you try this idea at home, choose a designer paper pattern that is quite subtle and a lighter color. My choice is from the Country Woods pack:

The wood designs in this paper are great for all crafting occasions. You can dress it up into something elegant, or dress it down for something shabby and chic. 

And here's my card: 

If you want to see how I applied the colors to the stamped image, watch the video below.

Will you join our simple sketch challenge?

Hello! It's time for a simple Paper Craft Crew card sketch: 

And I knew just want I wanted to use too - a background stamp! Have you seen the new Leaf Collection stamp? 

This lovely background stamp is the perfect size to serve as the backdrop for your card making. The leaves intertwine to create a lovely pattern that’s perfect for coloring. Add some fall colors to warm the look or go with shades of green for lovely foliage. If you want to step up the look, you can fussy cut the center leaves and use them as layering pieces.

For today's card I kept is clean and simple - as the challenge stated. I did use 3 different colors of green on my leaves, adding the ink color using my Sponge Daubers. 

Here's my card: 

The phrase comes from the Enduring Beauty stamp set - I love to mix & match, do you too?  

Super simple. Stamp, layer and adhere to the card front.

Here's the bundle Adventurous Sky bundle (click the photo below to order):

Stamp and die cut the sketched planes to create a fun centerpiece on your cards or make the thoughtful sentiments the main focus, adding some unique texture and interest with the welded metal stamp image and cloud dies. This bundle is a great way to make cards, gift tags, and other paper crafts for the aviation-loving or thrill-seeking friend or family member in your life.

I also used the new Take to the Sky designer series paper - so yummy!

These maps, blueprints, textured clouds, and sketched planes are fitting for aviation, military, outdoor, or adventure-themed cards and crafts. Use the planes and clouds as backgrounds, or fussy cut around the topographical map lines and plane blueprints for a fun focal point. 

Here's my challenge card:

Isn't the designer series paper pattern cute? I can't wait for you to see the whole pack. It's perfect for masculine and travel projects!

Let's think of spring with this colorful challenge

This week's Paper Craft Crew card sketch challenge is a fun one for spring!

So I dug through my stamp stash to see what I could find. Here's a bundle I have not used in months! So today is the day:

 

Send your best wishes and congratulations with the elegant Translucent Florals bundle. These delicate petals add effortless beauty to any personal card or gift. Stamp the flowers and leaves together for a elegant centerpiece or create simple yet beautiful backgrounds by repeatedly stamping one design. With four sentiments to choose from, you’ll have just the right thing to say.

Although the sketch above is really colorful, I decided to go for muted colors instead (dare to be different!): Soft Sea Foam and the retiring Sweet Sorbet. 

Here's my card - don't you love the embossed layer too? It adds a little....je ne sais quoi!

 

What will you create this week? Which floral set/bundle will you use? I would love to know so leave me a comment.

You need to see this unique and beautiful card front idea

Hi fellow crafters. Today I have another easy technique to share using the Layered Florals 3D embossing folder. This is a gorgeous card idea!

Each beautiful flower in this folder will add depth and movement to any card, scrapbook page, gift tag, or other paper craft. Go for a monochromatic look with white or black paper to add a touch of subtle detail or use with your favorite jewel-toned paper to make a flower moment that pops right off the page! We are going to use this folder to create stunning card front elements!

To create a card front window I am going to use the Scalloped Contours Dies: 

 

Use these dies to cut out your floral shapes scalloped border dies for all your decorating desires! The scalloped edge borders in this set range in size, allowing you to decorate a card front or create scalloped labels for your sentiments.

These beautiful layers were inspired by a card sketch

Happy Valentine's Day to you! I am sending you LOTS of creative love today with this fun Paper Craft Crew card sketch challenge! Why not give it a try too? 

 

I have been using my Flight & Airy paper so much in the past few weeks that I decided it was time for a break. When I saw this sketch I wasn't quite sure what to use but I did know that I didn't want a solid color background. I dug through my stash and spotted this:

Which, of course, led me to this; 

And an idea was born! I wanted to create lots of layers on my card - so I did! I am sure I was inspired by a card I saw in the catalog but in no time it became my own idea. 

Here's my card: 

Quick question: do you follow me on Instagram? If not, you might want to do so this week. Just sayin'! 

Now it's your turn - give this week's sketch challenge a try - create lots of fun layers using the products you have on hand. If you want to purchase the Perennial Postage bundle or paper, click here to hop over to my online store.
