MARCH 2023 DIY: Love Cats

Posted on by
1

I love these cats – and this one might be my favorite! (Who am I kidding? They’re ALL my favorites.) Getting those blended colors is a cinch with the Stamparatus. My March calendar will bring a smile to my face all month long.

  • Stamps: Love Cats, Plentiful Plants
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Old Olive, Sweet Sorbet
  • Accessories: Stamparatus, Stampin’ Write markers, Stampin’ Blends, Dauber

I set up this Lazy Bones Jones on the Stamparatus and used a dauber to color him in with Crushed Curry. I repeated the process with Cajun Craze on his back, ears, tail and paws, then used an Early Espresso marker to fill in the curved line. The last pass with the Stamparatus was to use a Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Write marker for the heart. I filled it in with a Stampin’ Blend – since I used the same color as the marker, a little smearing wouldn’t show.

The Plentiful Plants weren’t part of my original plan, but this guy looked like he was hanging out in a jungle. I stamped off the Old Olive so the color wouldn’t overwhelm my primary image.

I’m terribly fond of orange cats (don’t tell Bella & Gracie). We had an amazing tabby named Pookie who was more dog than cat, and I still miss him. There was a pretty epic post about him back in 2010.

He’s been gone for a long time now, but I still find myself stamping the Love Cats as orange cats. And now you can too! If you don’t have a Stamparatus, or the Love Cats stamps, or the colors you need to stamp a Pookie, you can find them HERE.

And now it’s time to visit Cheryl and Crystal to see what they’re up to for March!

FEBRUARY 2023 DIY: Beautifully Happy

Posted on by
1

I did not expect Beautifully Happy to be one of my favorite Sale-a-bration stamp sets*, but there are a lot of things I don’t see coming! I’ve heat embossed a number of these images and colored them with blends. It was a happy surprise to realize this would fit on the top of my DIY Easel Calendar!

*NEWS FLASH!!! New Sale-a-bration items are available as of today, February 1, 2023!! See the bottom of the post for details.

  • Stamps: Beautifully Happy, Forever Fern
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Fresh Freesia, Soft Sea Foam, Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight
  • Accessories: White Embossing Powder, Embossing Buddy, Embossing Tray, Heat Tool, Stampin’ Blends, Wink of Strella

Technically, this image is sideways because that’s the way it fits. I claim artistic license! I’ve used a number of color combinations each time I’ve colored this image, and I’ve found it’s easier to start with the green tone. When that’s done, the flower tells me what color it wants to be. (Yes, I talk to flowers…and markers, pets, my kitchen stove, you name it.)

Coloring with the Stampin’ Blends over an embossed outline is REALLY easy. It gives you a tactile guidance, and I find it you do a quick outline holding your image at an angle it’s easier to see the white lines. The little “dits” from Forever Fern are one of my favorite accents. I hope Forever Fern is around for a very long time!

This is a lovely, soothing color palette and this soft, sweet image is a perfect compliment. We’ve actually had quite a bit of rain and almost a week of grey skies on Maui! I live on the dry, south side of the island so typically if we get rain I barely have time to make a pot of chili before the sun is out again. I’ve even dragged out my “Mainland” clothes from the back of the closet (pants and 3/4 sleeve tee shirts) to ward off the chill. I know, you’re feeling really sorry for me right now.

Take a minute to visit my stampin’ buddy Crystal and see her February calendar. Our “Third Musketeer” is taking a break this month, but you can stop by her blog Create with Cheryl to see her progress on her Alphabet Book she’s making for her Grands.

Thanks for stopping by today – you can find all the supplies you need at the Online Store. I’m happy to help if you have questions about this project.

Be sure to subscribe by February 10th for your Craft Escape in a box! The February kit has a sunny theme and includes everything you need to make 9 cards and envelopes. These cards are sure to brighten the day and for the first time ever, there are coordinating dies available as an add-on!

JANUARY 2023 DIY: Friendly Gnomes

Posted on by

Here’s a Sneak Peek for the New Year: Friendly Gnomes!

  • Stamps: Friendly Gnomes
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Soft Succulent, Daffodil Delight, Sweet Sorbet, Naturals 500, 700, 800, Memento Black
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Gnome Dies, Stampin’ Blends, Stampin’ Dimensionals

More gnomes! As of January 5, the Friendly Gnomes stamps will be available to everyone – but if you were a demonstrator, you could have had them in your hands since December 1st. Just sayin’.

I love that little squirrel! It’s included with the Friendlies, along with the balloons, the greenery, and a Gnomey Mushroom House. There are lots of creative possibilities ensuring that there will be Gnomes A-Plenty at the Maui Stamper in 2023.

While the Friendly Gnomes aren’t available until next Thursday, they coordinate with the dies from the July-December 22 Mini. The Kindest Gnomes stamps are sold out, but you can see the Gnome Dies HERE.

I considered a palette that reflected winter, but in the end I really wanted to use pastel, springtime tones. Mr. Stamper and I spent some time around Thanksgiving in the Southwest, and we had our share of cold and snow, so I was ready to put that behind me. (If you live in a place that is currently snowy and cold, believe me, you have my deepest sympathies. I was ok with it for a couple of weeks, but clearly I have a tropical constistution.)

The DIY Easel Calendar is the perfect place to play with Stampin’ Blends! It’s a small space, so everything is quick and easy. If you need to add to your Blends collection (or replace a worn-out, beloved color) you can find them all HERE.

Please visit my dear friends Crystal (Hannie Joy and Crafts) and Cheryl (Create with Cheryl) to see what they’ve chosen for the first day of January. We really enjoy creating these calendars for you!

Thanks for visiting today, and Happy New Year!

DECEMBER 2022 DIY: PEACEFUL DEER with a GNOME

Posted on by
Reply

This gnome is so kind and gentle that I thought he would make a perfect companion for December. In a month when it’s easy to get lost in Things To Do and Places To Go, holding out a light to help someone find their way seems like a perfect message for this month.

  • Stamps: Peaceful Deer, Kindest Gnomes, Friends are Like Seashells (stars)
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake, Real Red, Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Smokey Slate, Basic Gray
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Gnome dies, Paper Snips, Stampin’ Blends, Stampin’ Dimensionals

It was a happy accident when I realized the images from Peaceful Deer were in perfect scale to use with Kindest Gnomes. The result is a Winter Wonderland feeling, and though it doesn’t really represent living on an island in the middle of the Pacific, it does represent my desire to slow down when things get overwhelming.

I colored the gnome’s beard and used the Color Lifter to create a softer (dare I say gentler?) beard. The light in his lantern is layered so it seems to glow. And when I colored the bunny I left a white patch on the chest and of course the cottontail!

(HINT: The Gnomes BUNDLE is retiring, but the dies will carry over into the spring. That means the Gnome stamps are retiring but there just might be a new coordinating set of stamps in January. Get the bundle and save. IYKYK.)

Crystal and Cheryl are my crafting buddies, and I hope you’ll spend a few minutes seeing what they’ve done for December. I invite you to share this post with your friends/crafting buddies and imagine how you can shine your lights together. If you need crafting supplies, I hope you’ll consider shopping HERE with me. Thanks!

TAGS: Jolly, Jingle, Believe!!

Jingle Jingle was the one Christmas set I knew I had to have from the July-December mini. Well. And the Gnomes…and the Caroling Mice…and Leaves of Holly…who can resist a good Christmas stamp set? And it’s 15% off until the 18th!

  • Stamps: Jingle Jingle
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Soft Succulent
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Tailored Tags dies, retired ribbons

Tailored Tags is a lifesaver and it’s 20% off until the 18th!! I just treated myself to a second set so that I could cut them out even faster. You can double up Basic White card stock and cut two layers at once if you have fresh cutting pads. With two sets of dies, that means I can cut four at a time.

These are super simple by design. Sure, you could fussy cut BELIEVE because it’s mostly straight lines. You could emboss the stars and add bling, too. But this is simple stamping in its most pure form and when you’re busy, busy, busy, it’s the difference between imagined and done.

Can you stand that Santa hat? It can pair with so many other stamps.

I briefly considered adding the Flat Jingle Bell Trinkets to JINGLE. It would be the perfect touch, but it would be extra. This time of year, you don’t have to do EVERYTHING over the top. Choose where to invest your effort and let simple be just that!

Put some Tailored Tags and Jingle Jingle stamps in your shopping cart and you’ll have a beautiful stack of tags in no time. You’ll feel so proud that you got it done.

Don’t miss the Seasonal Sale through November 18th! Use Host Code MDDWAJGG unless your order is $150 – then please be your own host!

NOVEMBER 2022 DIY: Flowers of Home

Posted on by

This month it’s more die cuts and less stamping. When you’re only making one of something, all that cranking of the Big Boss isn’t such a big deal:

  • Stamps: Peaceful Deer (sentiment)
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Old Olive, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede, Pear Pizazz, Pumpkin Pie
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Flowers of Home dies, Textural Elements, Stampin’ Write markers, Linen Thread, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I colored the Textural Elements (currently unavailable, expected this week) with Stampin’ Write markers. I used Pumpkin Pie for the “berries” and added just a touch of Cajun Craze to them at the stem. The stems themselves are Old Olive (as much as I love so many other greens, Old Olive is my go-to green!)

I cut a BUNCH of these little branch-bits and started playing. It’s a good thing I cut a lot: I accidentally adhered the first round to the wrong calendar. It looked great, but nope. Calendar so nice, I made it twice.

It’s hard to believe today is November 1st. That means the official end of hurricane season (yay!), but we’re still waiting for the weather to turn a little cooler. Soon the humpback whales will arrive from Alaska, and we’ll watch – and listen – for them. Did you know if you go into the ocean during whale season and put your head underwater you’re likely to hear them sing? Well, now you do.

Take minute to see what Cheryl and Crystal have created for November. You can make your own calendar if you like – details are below. Leave me a comment and let me know your favorite month so far in 2022. And as always, you can shop HERE.

October 2022 DIY: Hello Harvest

Posted on by

Don’t you love a big, round pumpkin? I’d prefer to look at one all month versus a jack-o-lantern, so I chose Hello Harvest for my October 2022 DIY calendar:

#mauistamper #stampinup #harvesthello #diy #2022calendar #DIYeaselcalendar #pumpkin #fall
  • Stamps: Harvest Hello
  • Color Palette: Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Basic White
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Rustic Pumpkin dies, Stampin’ Blends, Champagne Jewels, DIY Easel Calendar template, multipurpose glue

I took a chance and stamped the pumpkin with Cajun Craze ink. We recommend Memento to work with Stampin’ Blends because it doesn’t run, so I had to be careful not to overdo my brush strokes over the stamped portion of the image. I was feeling a little rebellious 😉

I inked up the leaves and then stamped them off. I chose the ones I liked best to die cut and added them with the swirly bits. The pumpkin is on dimensionals, and a few gems add some sparkle.

#mauistamper #stampinup #harvesthello #diy #2022calendar #DIYeaselcalendar #pumpkin #fall

I began with Daffodil in the belly of the pumpkin to get that warm glow, then worked my way out with Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze. This is a very satisfying image to color – I recommend it!

Please take a moment to see what my dear friends Crystal and Cheryl have done for October 2022. We really enjoy sharing these calendars with you every month, and we hope you enjoy seeing them!

A Cauldron of Bats: Design a Treat Box Dies

Posted on by
Reply

I am a word nerd. (Yes, I WORDLE.) So when I discovered the collective noun for bats is CAULDRON, I had to tell everyone I knew. Well, I started out by telling my family in our group chat, and now I’m telling all of you, so I think that’s everyone!

#mauistamper #stampinup #designatreat #bat #halloween #trickortreat #halloweentreat #diy
  • Stamps: Design a Treat
  • Color Palette: Black and White
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Design a Treat dies, Perfectly Penciled DSP (and a few sheets of retired B&W), Amber Gems, Tear n Tape (TnT)

Those Amber Gems from the Rustic Harvest Suite give the perfect spooky stare, don’t they? And that cute little tag is not only part of the Design a Treat dies, but there are THREE of them!! And since our Basic White card stock is a little lighter weight than standard card stock, you can cut two at once – which means I was cutting 6 in one crank of the Big Boss!!!

#mauistamper #stampinup #designatreat #bat #halloween #trickortreat #halloweentreat #diy

It just so happens that two Hershey Nuggets fit perfectly inside these little boxes. They’re sturdiest when assembled with a little bit of Tear n Tape on the flaps. I experimented with card stock and with dies for the boxes, and while card stock closes more securely across the top, the DSP is much cuter. I cut the batty tops from card stock, and they sit quite firmly across the top, keeping it closed. The advantage of using that batty top is that there’s no adhesive, so the box doesn’t have to be ripped open to enjoy the contents.

I really did make a Cauldron’s worth – this isn’t even half! They’re a single Big Boss cut to produce (run the batty bit at the same time) and they assemble easily. They’re a perfect table favor, office treat, or Halloween decoration. Find them HERE and you’ll have your own Cauldron in a FLASH 💥 (Don’t forget the TnT)

The 2023 DIY Template is now available! It’s just $5 and you may use it to make as many calendars as you like. It includes a page of covers, 12 monthly calendar blocks (4 to a page), and a set of cutting instructions. The blocks are designed to be cut to 3 1/2″ square.

September 2022 DIY: Amazing Year

Posted on by

Sunny September was begging for this sweet bunch of flowers. Amazing Year is a bit of a sleeper set and that was reason enough for me to ink it up and give it a little DIY Easel Calendar Love!

MauiStamper #stampinup #amazingyear #DIY #easelcalendar #september22 #desktopcalendar #stampinupdemo #stampinblends
  • Stamps: Amazing Year
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Memento Black, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizazz, Old Olive
  • Accessories: Stampin’ Blends, Paper Snips, White Crinkle Ribbon, Stampin’ Dimensionals

This image was very satisfying to color. I stayed with two tones, yellow and green, but played with shades of green to give those tiny leaves dimension. This is one of those “you can’t do it badly” images!

MauiStamper #stampinup #amazingyear #DIY #easelcalendar #september22 #desktopcalendar #stampinupdemo #stampinblends

I combined the two main images from the set to create this package with a bouquet. I also trimmed off the “Enjoy your day” tag and so that I could choose the placement. There isn’t much to keep it attached, so it’s much more secure this way.

Take two minutes to see what Cheryl and Crystal have done with their September DIY calendars. You’ll love their versions!
