Movers & Shapers Thank you!

How about this little cutie? I ordered and just received my Mover's & Shapers exclusive Stampin' Up! die for the Big Shot. And I like it! I've made a couple of pretty simple cards with it - but it's wow! with the window to the inside of the card, I think.

This is the Thank You card that my customers received this month with each of their orders. I used a So Saffron card base - definitely one of my favorite color - and some pattern papper from the Jackpot DSP! I'll give details and some pictures next week to show you exactly what the Movers & Shapers Die looks like and how I used it to create this card - did you know that the Movers & Shapers Die cuts and scores your card base as well as cutting out the Curly Label window wherever you want it?! love this re-positionable little die!

Halloween Branch Out

What do you think of this tree from Stampin' Up!'s Branch Out set, filled with black birds? I really like this set and have made some spring cards in soft colors - check out this Branch Out spring card. This month at Stamp Camp we made a beautiful autumn card with this set, and then I decided it was time to add some black birds to its branches. The falling leaves are Crushed Curry and Dusty Durango and I spritzed the Soft Suede card base with a Soft Suede marker in my Color Spritzer tool.

I made this late last night and popped it in the mail for a last minute swap. Really last minute - signed up to fill an empty spot in this swap last night. Cards are due tomorrow - Priority Mail is my friend. :)

Sweet Tea pary


Here's a really simple card featuring Stampin' Up!'s Taffy Alphabet and the Tea Party Designer Series Paper.

I stamped the Taffy alphabet in Lovely Lilac Craft ink onto a strip of the Tea Party DSP. Then I covered the letters with Clear Embossing Powder and heat set it. This is layered onto a strip of Lovely Lilac cardstock and then another mat of Regal Rose cardstock. I used the Scallop Edge Punch along the bottom of the last mat and tied a knot of Regal Rose 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon. The card base is Gable Green.

Easy Peasy lemon squeezie - wouldn't this make a SWEET little baby card?

Twick or Tweet

How cute are the Twick or Tweet stamps from Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog?! I was excited to find these super cute cards, featuring that trick or treating bird, in a swap I received this month.

I participate in (several) swap with other Stampin' Up! demonstrators and this particular swap was based on the Holiday Mini Catalog. My card used the Four the Holidays stamp set and the Merry Accessories Sizzlet die from the mini, as well as the flocked paper from Specialty Cocoa DSP. You can click here to see my swap card.

The Twick or Tweet set in these two swap cards is one of my favorite sets from the Holiday Mini.







On the second Twick or Tweet card from the swap, check out the window cut in the front of the card. This is the Stampin' Up! exclusive Movers & Shapers Curly Label Die. This Bigz Die cuts and scores your card base and has a moveable magnetic piece that allows you to cut the Curly Label window at any place on your card front. It also coordinates with the Curly Label Punch. I will be posting some fun cards using both of these soon as I just received my Movers & Shapers Die this week.

Remember that when you host a qualifying workshop with me, you can choose ANY item from the Holiday Mini Catalog for only $10. You could choose a stamp set, the Movers & Shapers Die or anything else in the Holiday Mini Catalog that you just must have. This Sweet Rewards Promotion ends soon, so be sure to call or e-mail me to schedule a workshop today.

Peaceful Easy Feeling


Here is another page from a recent Scrap A Stack event. This is created on a base of Basic Gray cardstock and used the Stampin' Up! alphabet set Taffy Alphabet.

We create six 12x12 pages at my Scrap A Stacks and the pages are a pretty wide variety of layouts and styles. This particular page was my favorite from this month's class. I love the distressed edges, the varying strips of Nouveau Chic Designer Series Paper and Taffy Alphabet is one of my favorite alphabets. However, the number one reason I love this page is because this page has a 'feel' to it - a calm, 'easy' feeling - and I think the title is perfect for that.

I love the layout for one large photo. Sometimes I like to tell a story with a series of photos and other times, the story being told needs a variety of different photos. But for this page, the story is told with a single blurred photo.

The photo is taken from my perspective, laying on the trampoline next to my husband. Our family spends a lot of time on our trampoline and on this evening, Brian and I were laying on it, while the kids caught a football thrown by Brian. The picture shows the action of the kids with their blurred motion and the ball in the air, but the emotionI get from it a content one. A happy one.

Not much journaling on this page - what can I say? The layout and the photo say it all for me and I just added a date so I would remember the time when my kids were this size and loved to play on the trampoline with us.

Recipe:
Stamps: Taffy Alhabet
Cardstock: Basic Gray, Apricot Appeal, Basic Black, Nouveau Chic
Ink: Basic Gray
Accessories: Cutter Kit, Vintage Brads, Photo Corner Punch


Here are some alternate layouts that my daughter laid out as she was helping me assemble the supply kits for class. The colors are off in these photos, but each one uses the same set of supplies - Basic Gray, Apricot Appeal, Basic Black and Nouveau Chic - cut to the same size as my layout. I guess she skipped the Apricot Appeal mat on the first photo - it's the one I like best. Maybe better than my layout - the girl needs to get hired! Now go tell a story with your pictures!

Razzleberry Postcard

This card is a CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) of a beautiful card layout that I saw a lot of last year when Stampin' Up! Winter Post was first released. Winter Post is such a beautiful and vintage looking set - I just love the different images in it, too.

The base of this card is Soft Suede; I think this is my new favorite color! Then I added a layer of Rich Razzleberry with some sponging along the edges with my Sponge Dauber and the Rich Razzleberry ink. I stamped the postcard sentiment in Soft Suede ink onto the piece of Perfect Plum cardstock. I created a square mask out of a piece of scratch paper and stamped the background stamp, En Francais, over it. Then I drew the partition line with a ruler and my Close to Cocoa marker. I rolled and tore and sponged this layer and the Soft Suede mat as well. I wrapped the reindeer and the postcard with a knotted piece of Soft Suede Ribbon and added the Vintage Brads.

Dazzling Medallion

Here is a Christmas card I stamped using Stampin' Up!'s Medallion stamp. I stamped the Medallion image in Ruby Red Craft Ink and used Dazzling Diamonds Ultra Fine Glitter to give it LOTS of sparkle.

I wanted even more dazzle than I get from the Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder, which I love and use often. So I used Heat & Stick Powder. Heat & Stick Powder is a grainy, sticky embossing powder that becomes glue-like when heated. After stamping the Medallion image in Ruby Red Craft Ink, I covered it with Heat & Stick Powder, tapped off the excess and heated it with my Heat Gun until the dully grainy powder turned shiny. An important thing to remember with Heat & Stick Powder is to heat it JUST until it turns shiny, but not longer, as you may lose the stickiness. Once my 'glue' had turned shiny, I covered it with Dazzling Diamonds Ultra Fine Glitter and tapped off the excess. Then I heated it for just a little bit longer with my Heat Gun to 'set' the glue and glitter.

This technique creates a super glittery, wonderfully dazzling image. I hope you can see a little of it in this close-up shot. It just makes you want to touch the image. I love Dazzling Diamonds for many images, but especially like to use it on all my Christmas cards and images. There's something about the holidays that demands an extra bit of sparkle.

To finish my card, I stamped this Merry Christmas sentiment from Many Merry Messages in Chocolate Chip ink and then punched each end with my Modern Label Punch. This is adhered to a Ruby Red mat with Stampin' Dimensionals in the middle and Silver Brads from the Vintage Brads collection on the ends.

Friends Rock

This is one of the cards we made at my September Stamp Camps. The Stampin' Up! set Friends Rock! is such a fun one with its trendy 'teen girl' style images. I have been having fun using it the past few weeks on swaps, scrapbook pages and a lot of different cards - but I keep going back to using Melon Mambo with it. I think it's the bright color that says "FUN" to me.

A few different techniques on this card make it really beautiful in real life. The sponging of Crushed Curry and then Pumpkin Pie around the edge of the Hey Friend piece give a 'finished' look, I think. Then the entire sentiment piece is pressed into the VersaMark pad, sprinkled with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder and heat set to give it a lot of sparkle. I love the coordinating Melon Mambo Polka Dot Ribbon! I used a small circle punch on the edge of the matted sentiment to accomodate the knotted ribbon. The sentiment piece is also adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals. The Melon Mambo card base is randomly stamped with images from the Friends Rock! stamp set in VersaMark Ink.

This is also the card I made for Jami's In Color Swap this month.

Scrapping with cards

This page will be one of the 6 pages scrappers make at my September Scrap Class. This particular page uses the beautiful, flocked paper from the Specialty Cocoa Designer Series Paper in the Holiday Mini which debuted September 1st.

Using stamped cards as a scrap page element is something my friend Dee is great at. She creates the most beautiful pages often featuring her gorgeous daughters - and usually incorporates a stamped card element as well.

For this page, I saw these beautiful Fifth Ave Floral cardlets on Jackie's blog and had to make a few. Then I created one as a card front only and knotted a piece of the new Polka Dot 3/4" Real Red Grosgrain around the top. I added the Fifth Ave Floral sentiment to it and used a Real Red Marker to color some of the flower centers. Finally I swiped my Whisper White Craft Ink pad around all the edges of the Kraft card front and set it aside to dry.

Stamps: Schoolbook Serif, Fifth Ave Floral
Cardstock: Kraft, Specialty Cocoa DSP

Time Well Spent

This is one of my favorite Stampin' Up! stamp sets Time Well Spent - I was so happy to see it carry over from the last mini catalo into the new Idea Book & Catalog.

However, this card is a re-do and I'm still not sure I'm happy with it. I had all these pieces stamped and punched from a mini catalog swap last spring. I sketched out my card and did a prototype. I stamped everything and punched the strips and adhered my mats and even masked off the sentiment set several times to stamp Live for Today on the Lavender Lace strip. Then I decided I didn't care for the card.

So I abandoned the pieces in a UFO box (UnFinished Objects) and pushed it around my stamping space. This summer I looked at the pieces again as I packed for our move from Minnesota to Colorado. Later this summer I looked at them AGAIN when I unpacked my stamping supplies. This time, I threw it in an even larger box (okay, a TOTE that won't even let me close the lid) of UFO's. For some reason, it surfaced this week and I decided I better do something with all the lovely clocks stamped and grommeted.

So here is my card - the Time Well Spent clock and its beautiful sentiment - mounted on a Lovely Lilac card base. The Jumbo White Grommet punched through the clock face on the left side. The Organdy Ribbon knotted in a bow and pushed through the grommet. The Eyelet Punch and Sage Shadow. The masked off sentiment line on the front with the complete sentiment on the inside.

Hey Friend

Here is another card I made using Stampin' Up!'s Melon Mambo cardstock and ribbon - I am just loving this In Color. I still had the Friends Rock! stamp set on my table, so I used it, too. My daughter really likes this stamp set and the cards I've made with it so far.

At my September Stamp Camps we'll be making a different card using this stamp set with these colors. This card would make a great workshop make and take; if you're interested, send me an e-mail using the button to the right.

Sage Holidays

This is a card I made for a swap I'm in with several other Stampin' Up! demonstrators. My challenge was to use the stamp set Four the Holidays from the Holiday Mini Catalog that was just released September 1st.

I love the four sentiments in this set and have made several Christmas cards with each of them already. In fact, we'll be using this stamp set, Four the Holidays, on one of the cards you can choose from at my upcoming Stamp A Stack.

I chose one of the Sage Shadow patterns from the Nouveau Chic Designer Series Paper. This pack of paper isn't designed to be a holiday paper, but I love the colors and thought it created a beautiful background. I matted it on a piece of Sage Shadow cardstock, heavily distressed with the Cutter Kit. I added a strip of Basic Gray pattern paper near the bottom with a mat of Going Gray. The banner strip is a Apricot Appeal with the sentiment stamped in Basic Black Craft Ink, then heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. I sponged the edges of the cardstock in Apricot Appeal ink as well. The points of the banner are made by using the large arrow from the My Way Punch. I adhered the banner with Stampin' Dimensionals in the center to give it a little lift.

Recipe:
Stamps: Four the Holidays, Tree Trimmings
Cardstock: Basic Gray, Going Gray, Apricot Appeal, Sage Shadow
Ink: Basic Black Craft, Apricot Appeal, Sage Shadow, Sahara Sand marker
Accessories: Cutter Kit, My Way Punch, Sponge Daubers



Don't forget to complete the Scavenger Hunt that I posted last week. All of the answers can be found on my blog (today's post has one of them!) by the end of this week or by looking through the Holiday Mini Catalog.

Manhattan Flower TriFold

How about that beautiful Manhattan Flower Embossing Folder that Stampin' Up! introduced last spring? This card is a very simple card showcasing the Manhattan Flower embossing on two front panels with some simple stamping on the inside. The embossing folder is used on both side of a Tri-Fold card and then trimmed down to emphasize the texture of the roses. The card opens to the left and then another embossed panel opens to the right to make it a Tri-Fold card.

This card is one we created at my Demo Get Together at my house last month. My downline and I meet and have so much fun stamping together and chatting and laughing and stamping and chatting!
