Love Cats in Dainty Flowers

Posted on by

Everyone loves an orange cat, right? This Love Cat is suspended in a Dainty Flowers DSP garland that I fussy cut exactly ONCE. I love the surprise in the color combinations of this card!

  • Stamps: Love Cats
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Basic Black, Polished Pink
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, Stamparatus, Paper Snips, Basic Black Journaling Pen, Wink of Stella, Stampin’ Dimensionals, daubers, Dainty Flowers DSP (Sale-a-bration 2023)

I fussy cut that oval from the new Dainty Flowers DSP. It was definitely an act of love, because I got all OCD about it and really worked the edges. I inked up this kitty in Crushed Curry on the Stamparatus, then added some details with Cajun Craze on a dauber and stamped again. This is an ideal application for the Stamparatus!

It’s hard to see the Stella – there must be a trick to capturing it, but it’s not in my toolbox! You can see that Timeworn Type though. It’s an ideal background when you don’t want to draw a lot of attention, but want a little texture. And I pulled the Rich Razzleberry for the card front straight from the DSP. There’s a lot of inspiration in those designs!

The Dainty Flowers DSP includes shapes like this on paper that has a textural element. That background in the center of the floral oval isn’t embossed, it just has a wonderful stucco kind of printed texture. I think it adds a lot!

If this isn’t a great Valentine message, I don’t know what is. Add the Love Cats stamps to your shopping cart right HERE.

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!

Our Mini Catalog is in the final days! Don’t miss the Last Chance Products. While you’re in the store, take a look at the Clearance Rack as well – some of those goodies are perfect for Valentines!

GNOMES, GNOMES AND MORE GNOMES!

The collective name for a gathering of gnomes is a Donsy, and I created a doozy of a Donsy with the Kindest Gnomes stamps and dies!

  • Stamps: Kindest Gnomes, Penguin Place, Peaceful Deer
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay, Sweet Sorbet, and a few random bits
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Gnome Dies, Storybook Gnomes DSP, Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder, Stitched Rectangles dies, Stylish Shapes dies, Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Wink of Stella, Stampin’ Dimensionals

There are bits and pieces of other DSP and papers in all the variations – if you desperately need to know what something is, leave me a comment. I assembled the gnomes with Tombo Multipurpose Glue and then adhered them to the embossed circles with Stampin’ Dimensionals. This was creative matching at its finest!

These cards got a little dusting of Bermuda Bay snowflakes inside. They’re my cards, and I get to choose the colors! Besides, who knows what color it would snow if it snowed on Maui?

I used different sheets of the Storybook Gnomes DSP and mixed and matched hats and feet (and a few noses, too!) to come up with a Gnome Squad of cards. The message from Penguin Place had serious gnome vibes, but I used a few traditional Merry Christmas sentiments as well. Do you have a favorite?

I kinda like the guy in the middle. He has serious middle earth vibes. If you’re still holding out on the gnomes, do yourself a favor. Check out the Gnomes HERE.

MERRIEST MOMENTS

Posted on by

The intricate floral frame from the Merriest Frame dies sets the stage for a beautiful traditional card, complete with poinsettias and sparkle.

  • Stamps: Merriest Moments
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Real Red, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry (inside)
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Merriest Frames dies, Boughs of Holly DSP, Linen Thread, Gold 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon, Vellum, Stampin’ Dimensionals, retired gold embellishment

I struggled for a bit with the Designer Series paper: it’s pretty bold, and I was trying to use it almost full size on the card front. It was too busy and it overwhelmed the floral frame. But there were some skinny scraps in the chaos that calls itself my craft desk, and they turned out to be just the thing!

More out of the box…I wanted wispy bits of gold ribbon and there was none to be had. However, the end of my gold shimmer ribbon was a little frayed, and as soon as I started pulling on it I realized it was exactly what I needed!! This time I used the warp, not the weft, by cutting a 12 inch piece of ribbon and trimming off one edge. These pieces started unraveling as though they were made for that very purpose!

Craft a little joy this season with the Merriest Moments stamps and Merriest Frames dies and embossing folder!

Kindest Gnome

Oh, these gnomes! They are such fun to cut and assemble like paper dolls! I die cut a big stack of pieces and spent a delightful afternoon putting them together. So much more fun than cleaning out closets. I recommend it.

  • Stamps: Kindest Gnomes
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Night of Navy, Sahara Sand
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Gnome Dies, Aspen Tree Dies, Sun Prints DSP, Blending Brushes, Champagne Jewel Rhinestones, Linen Thread, Wink of Stella, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I had a big stack of Aspens cut from a previous project and a donsy of gnomes (yup, check it out!) The Sun Prints DSP pulled it all together – those papers are so versatile! A little Stella on the embossed lines on his beard dressed up my gnome without overdoing it.

I brushed a little Sahara Sand on the aspens and gave them a little Wink too. For some ridiculous reason I decided the gnome’s hat needed something, so it got a funny Vesuvius tassel. I think I told you earlier this month that I’ve been working outside the box!

It’s quick and easy to cut out the pieces to the gnomes as they’re all pretty simple. Give it a try! See the Gnomes HERE.

Wattle: The Brightest Beauty

Posted on by

Have you seen a wattle shrub? It’s a member of the Acacia family, and if you’re an Aussie, you likely know it well. It’s the National flower, growing across the entire country – and it’s a beautiful stamp set in the mini catalog as well.

  • Stamps: Brightest Beauty, Art Gallery
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Granny Apple Green, So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Golden Beauty dies, Artistic Mix Decorative Masks, Blending Brushes, Stampin’ Write Markers, White Frayed Ribbon, Stampin’ Dimensionals

The wattle is beloved by Aussies, and I’ve got my very own beloved Aussie, so you can see why I might be fond of this glorious explosion of color. For my card, I colored the tiny blooms with Stampin’ Write markers, using a combination of Crushed Curry and Daffodil Delight. I used So Saffron for the mask on the card base to avoid overwhelming the flowers – a lot of yellow is, well, a LOT of yellow!

Did you see my custom trim? I’ve been feeling pretty out-of-the-box lately with trim. This particular bit is what you get when you pull apart the White Frayed Ribbon. I’ve cut it in half and tried playing (unsuccessfully) with the warp, but this card uses what would be considered the weft:

It initially comes apart quickly and easily, but as it gets longer, you have to tease it out with the pointy end of your Take Your Pick tool. It has a thin, wooly look – but be careful not to tangle it, or you’ll just need to pick out another length. Ask me how I know.

How do you challenge yourself to think outside the box? Honestly, for me it’s often boredom – I’ve used this, I’ve used that, I want something NEW. (oh dear, I think you know why I’m a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator now…)

Take a look at Brightest Beauty. It’s on page 60 of the mini catalog, or you can see it HERE. It’s a bit of a sleeper, so you might be the first on your block to craft with it! I hope you love it.

Leaves of Holly Triple Fun Fold Card

Posted on by
Reply

At Backstage, Stampin’ Up!’s Leadership Conference, I received a swapped card made with this triple Fun Fold technique. It’s easy to do – but you do have to pay attention, as I’ve assembled it backwards more than once.

  • Stamps: Leaves of Holly
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Soft Succulent, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Holly Berry Dies, Boughs of Holly DSP, Gold 3/8″ Shimmer ribbon, Red Foil (retired, but Festive Foils is an alternative), Stampin’ Dimensionals, Stampin’ Trimmer

This card does get a little thick, so you might need an additional postage stamp to mail it. However, it does have space behind the panels for stamped or handwritten messages or a photo, so you can really customize it to suit your purposes.

Here’s a FILE that will help you cut your paper to create this card. Be warned, there aren’t any photos!

While I’ve made a Christmas card, this Fun Fold would be a perfect birthday card with a gift card tucked into one of the panels. Check out the Boughs of Holly Suite, but feel free to explore with your favorite DSP!

Thankful Friends and Aspen Tree dies

Posted on by

I love trees. There were beautiful aspens growing outside my first apartment in college and this beautiful Aspen Tree die cut brings back memories of standing on the second floor deck, studying their intricate bark. (I know the leaf doesn’t match, I’m claiming artistic license.)

  • Stamps: Framed Occasions, Forever Fern
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Starry Sky, Soft Suede
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Aspen Tree Dies, Fall Leaves and Amber Gems (back in stock week of 11/7), Blending Brushes, Daubers, Linen Thread

The clean edges of the die cut trees contrast well with the soft coloring achieved with daubers and the Blending Brush. Starry Sky is a perfect choice for a twilight sky behind the trees, and the little “dits” from Forever Fern suggest distant constellations.

I cut a stack of these Aspen Trees and keep finding new ways to style them. Gnomes, reindeer, birds, even Santa in a sleigh cutting across the sky would all work here, and in the spring, washes of rhododendron could fill the bottom half of the back panel. But don’t wait til spring, these dies are from the July December mini catalog – you need them now! Shop HERE.

Hello Harvest with a Charming Sentiment

Posted on by
Reply

Hello Harvest stamps lend themselves to the masking technique, and today I’ve placed the floral image on top of that big juicy pumpkin with the help of our masking paper. It’s a great card to reproduce, as once you’ve cut the mask it’s good for many repetitions.

  • Stamps: Hello Harvest, Charming Sentiments
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Memento Black, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Old Olive
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Sentiment Silhouettes dies, Deckle Rectangle dies, Masking Paper, Rustic Harvest DSP, Leaf Labels and Amber Gems, Stampin’ Blends, Dimensionals

I created a mask with the floral image by stamping it on our new masking paper and cutting it out with my snips. (The die would have been much faster, but my brain wasn’t working very well that morning.) You could use a sticky note instead of masking paper, but the beauty of masking paper is that the entire page is sticky, so you don’t have lifted edges. It’s also quite thin, so your layered image doesn’t have gaps.

I stamped the flowers first, then covered them with the mask and stamped the pumpkin. The next step was coloring, and oh, I do love to color, especially with Stampin’ Blends! I chose a sentiment from the Charming Sentiments bundle, inked it in Cajun Craze, and cut it out with the matching die. Both the sentiment and the focal point panel are mounted on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside, I came up with a little trick to expand the interior panel. I cut a strip of DSP about 1 1/4″ wide and placed it on the long edge of the Basic White panel. I ran both pieces through the Big Boss together using the Deckle Rectangle dies. I’ve actually skooched (highly technical stamping term) the DSP to the right a bit so I could get a wider interior panel.

This card could be a birthday card, thinking of you, or any number of other sentiments. I like to keep a few of these in my card stash without the sentiment – it just takes a moment to stamp and cut what you need and attach it to the front with dimensionals.

The leaves and amber gems are not available but are expected the week of November 7th. In the meantime, you can put together this entire card and add the gems later or substitute something you already have. Don’t wait on the Rustic Harvest DSP – it’s on the Low Inventory list! Shop today!

Soft Seedlings in Autumn Technicolor

Posted on by

I have a bit of a fangirl obsession with one of our Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team members. Tammy Wilson just WOWs me with her creativity, and this card is very similar to her Soft Seedlings project last month. The technique is very easy and a lot of fun, and I can’t wait to try it with other images.

  • Stamps: Soft Seedlings
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Deckle Edge Rectangles, Tailored Tags, Timber 3D Embossing Folder, Sponge Daubers, Early Espresso Faux Suede Trim, Daubers, Glue Dots, Take Your Pick (TYP) tool, assorted Sequins

This is a variation on the baby wipe technique (add drops of ink to baby wipes) but the results are more vivid because you apply the ink directly to the stamp with a dauber. It’s an addictive process because each leaf turns out differently! I made half a dozen of these a couple of evenings ago and it was astonishingly therapeutic (well, all stamping is therapeutic).

#MauiStamper Stampin' Up! #softseedling #handmadecard #diy #fall #autumnleaves #thinkingofyou #stampinupdemonstrator

The TYP (Take Your Pick) tool is indispensable when you’re adding small embellishments. Use the flat end to pick up and place the Glue Dot, and use the putty end for the embellishment (I call the putty something else but this is family blog, lol – although little kids specialize in this particular sticky bit!)

I added a few little seed pods on the inside. When you make your own cards, you get to do that!

Soft Seedlings is available now in our July-December mini catalog. You can find it HERE.
