STACK, SLICE & SHUFFLE PERENNIAL LAVENDER

Posted on by
Reply

This is a simple and fun technique that will help you dig into that stack of Designer Series Paper and turn it into pretty cards. You can keep them simple and let the paper do the talking, or you can embellish them to your heart’s content.

NOTE: These are supplies for all 3 cards 😁

  • Stamps: Perennial Lavender, Stippled Rose, Everyday Greetings, Greetings of the Season
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Gorgeous Grape
  • Accessories: Perennail Lavender DSP, Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Spotlight on Nature dies, Stippled Rose dies, Perennial Lavender dies, Perennial Postage dies, Something Fancy dies, 2 3/8″ circle punch, Linen Thread, Basic Beige Border Ribbon, Iridescent Ribbon, Glossy Dots, Purple Fine Shimmer Gems, Stampin’ Dimensionals

The first step is to choose 3 patterns that you like seeing together. Cut a panel of each one – mine were 3 3/4” x 5” – and then stack them together. Cut them into 3 pieces – the shapes don’t matter, but I found that making a template to guide me was a help. (If you don’t have a trimmer that can cut through 3 pieces of DSP, the template helps you cut each on the same. Measure a starting point and mark each piece with the template, then cut them one at a time.)

Once your paper is cut, shuffle the pieces so that you have a mixture of papers on each card front. Because our DSP is two sided, you can even flip a set of papers over! Adhere them to a panel slightly larger than your original measurement (I used a 4” x 5 1/4” base) and then to a card front (I added an extra layer at 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”). Embellish away!

ANOTHER MONOCHROMATIC CHANGING LEAVES

Posted on by
Reply

I’ve chosen different elements from Changing Leaves and switched up the layout for a completely different feeling in this monochromatic card. I’m still having fun pulling apart my Jute Trim, though!

  • Stamps: Changing Leaves, Tropical Leaf
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Wild Wheat
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Changing Leaves dies, Spotlight on Nature dies, Deckle Rectangle dies, Tinsel Gems, Wild Wheat Jute Trim, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I think I’ve said this before, but Wild Wheat was a sleeper color for me. I wasn’t much of a fan when I first saw it, but the more I’ve used it, the more I love the warmth and intensity it brings to a project. It mixes well with so many other colors too, especially grays and blues.

Those spatters were made with a positively ancient tool, but you can generate the same effect by flicking the brush end of your Stampin’ Write marker against the cap. Have I convinced you yet that you need Changing Leaves? You’ll find it in the Online Store.

RUSTIC SEASIDE WISHES

Posted on by

This card is a little bit outside the box for me – I don’t usually use this much bold color. The neutral tones of the sand dollars and other sea elements made me bold! And I do love Seaside Wishes 💕

  • Stamps: Seaside Wishes
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana, Calypso Coral, Basic Beige, Pebble Path
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Seaside Wishes dies and Hybrid Embossing Folder, Country Woods DSP, Adhesive Back Dapple Dots, Blending Brush, Pebble Path Jute Trim, Stampin’ Dimensionals, wooden skewer

I dusted the sand dollars with a tiny bit of Crumb Cake, and tucked a bit of unraveled Pebbled Path Jute Trim behind the pieces. I curled the ends of the DSP and Coastal Cabana card stock with a bamboo skewer – it’s one of my favorite crafting secret weapons. I tore the edges of the Coastal Cabana panel and roughed the DSP with my trusty paper snips, so this entire card has a much more rustic feel.

I didn’t add a sentiment – do you think I should? I can’t decide if I should put something on the front or just stamp it inside.

Are you more rustic or more crisp? It was fun to explore this style, but I’m definitely more of a crisp and clean stamper. Doesn’t matter, whatever you need, you’ll find it in the Online Store.

It’s here and it’s glorious. Check out the September – December mini catalog. You’re gonna love it! We’ve also just launched two new holiday kits to help you create quick, beautiful projects.

CHANGING LEAVES as a SYMPATHY CARD

Posted on by
Reply

Changing Leaves is one of those Swiss Army Knife stamp sets – it can do just about anything. Today’s card is a good example: by crafting it in a monochromatic palette, it sets the stage for a thoughtful sympathy card.

  • Stamps: Changing Leaves, Country Flowers
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Pebble Path
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Changing Leaves dies and Hybrid Embossing Folder, Deckle Rectangle dies, 23-25 In Color Opaque Sparkle Dots, dauber, Pebble Path Jute Trim, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I used daubers to add a little depth to the leaf – the Hybrid Embossing folder added that gorgeous texture. I unraveled Pebbled Path Jute Trim and added a strand behind the leaf, shaping it as a bow but skipping the actual knot.

Sympathy cards are the sort of thing you often need with short notice. To make sure you’re prepared, check my supplies and shop the Online Store.

SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE: CI#172

Posted on by
Reply

I haven’t joined the Colour Inkspirations challenges for ages, but this month I made a point of writing down the colours and creating with them. I wouldn’t have chosen the combination of Peach Pie, Garden Green and Pebble Path on my own, so it was a proper challenge.

(Please note that Colour Inkspirations is based in the South Pacific and uses an extra vowel, and I have done the same in today’s post.)

  • Stamps: Spotlight on Nature, Country Flowers
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Peach Pie, Garden Green, Pebble Path
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Spotlight on Nature dies, Changing Leaves dies, Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder, Pebble Path Jute Trim, Stamp and Write markers, Blender Pen, 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems, dauber, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I fussy cut the floral image since the dies in the Spotlight on Nature bundle are circular. I inked the stamp with Stampin’ Write markers and used a Blender Pen to add color to the stamped image. The Blender Pen allows a much softer touch than Stampin’ Blends, and I didn’t want to cover the detail on the stamped image.

I used a dauber to add a little extra Pebble Path to the new Birch Wood 3D embossing folder. It’s not perfect, it’s hand-made!

Have you played along with a challenge lately? I’d love to know which challenges you enjoy.

And if you need your own Spotlight on Nature bundle, shop the Online Store.

REGAL FLORA from the NEW MINI!

Posted on by

The September – December mini catalog launches tomorrow, and I hope you’re ready! Regal Flora was a bit of a sleeper for me. I added it to my Demonstrator pre-order on a bit of a whim, but I’m a big fan – tell me what you think!

  • Stamps: Regal Flora, Keeping Tabs
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Petal Pink, Calypso Coral
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Regal Flora dies, Keeping Tabs punch, Country Lace DSP, dauber, Linen Thread, 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems, Stampin’ Dimensionals

The flowers are stamped and die cut in a cluster of 3, and I made 3 clusters. I inked them with Petal Pink, then used a dauber to add Calypso Coral to the centers. There’s plenty of room for individual expression with how much Calypso you add!

My beloved Linen Thread (may it remain with us forever) winds through the flowers, and the Keeping Tabs punch provides a fun little tag (trim the punched shape through the center). A few gems add some sparkle.

The September – December mini is FULL of beautiful new products – shop early and often!

As you know, new catalogs sometimes have supply and demand imbalances, so shop the Online Store soon.

DIY SEPTEMBER 2024: BEE MINE

Posted on by

Right now in my garden, the bees are very busy, and they’ve inspired my September DIY Calendar for 2024. I reached for Bee My Valentine, because it’s so much more than a Valentine set.

  • Stamps: Bee My Valentine
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Daffodil Delight, Gray Granite, Memento Black
  • Accessories: Bee Builder Punch, Nature’s Sweetness DSP, Classic Matte Dots, Glue dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals

There are multiple Bee-Faces to choose in this set, but this one is my favorite and I keep going back to it.

The wings are stamped and punched from the Nature’s Sweetness DSP to add a little sparkle. I also stamped off the Gray Granite ink when I added the honeycomb to the background. And I like to use glue dots to assemble the bee wings and antennas because they give me a little wiggle room to make adjustments in placement and angle.

With all the amazing new products coming with the September – December mini catalog on Wednesday, it’s easy to overlook the inspiration that’s sitting right there in your craft room. Take a look on your shelves – what hasn’t seen ink lately?

Cheryl and Crystal have sweet September calendars for you too – please stop by and see what they’ve done this month.

SEASIDE WISHES WITH CORAL STARS

Posted on by

Can you imagine a better choice for a Maui Stamper card? Seaside Wishes is full of gorgeous waterfront images, and that So Swirly Embossing Folder fits right into the theme. I put that bundle on my 24-25 Annual Catalog shopping list the moment I spotted it.

  • Stamps: Seaside Wishes
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Basic Beige, Lost Lagoon, Calypso Coral
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, So Swirly Embossing Folder, Seaside Wishes dies, Seaside Wishes Hybrid Embossing Folder, Country Lace DSP, Linen Thread, Blending Brush, Stampin Dimensionals

This is one more card using our Hybrid Embossing Folder magic. If you choose not to put the dies into the folder, you’ll have a lovely embossed image to work with, but I love those sand dollars and knew I wanted to cut them out.

I chose Calypso Coral – a pretty bold color – for the sea stars, since the rest of the card was soft and neutral. Even Lost Lagoon seems subdued in comparison, and the contrast really works for me. I hope you think so too!

A jaunty row of little sea stars is the perfect accent for the envelope, and I might have slipped a few inside the card as well. Have fun with the details!

And if you need supplies for this card or any other project you’ve got going, I’m so appreciative when you shop the Online Store.

CHANGING LEAVES with COUNTRY WOODS

Posted on by

I am smitten with our Hybrid Embossing Folders, although it took me a while to realize just how they work. This layout is inspired by Alanna Wharf, a Stampin’ Up! Artisan team member. Her version is light and dreamy, but I took an earthier, more autumnal direction.

  • Stamps: Changing Leaves
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Changing Leaves dies, Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder, Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder, Country Woods DSP, Nature’s Story DSPBasic Beige Bordered Ribbon, Linen Thread, Faux Leather Trim (retired), Rhinestone Jewels, Stampin Blends, Stampin’ Dimensionals

The Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder leaves that lovely texture on the leave in addition to cutting it out. If you haven’t explored our Hybrid Embossing Folders, I highly recommend them!

I used one of the leaf stamps from Changing Leaves to create a subtle bottom border inside the card – I used Crumb Cake ink, and stamped it off before applying it to the interior panel.

If you look carefully at the photo below, you’ll see the embossing folder with the dies inside of it and something yellow. That’s washi tape, a crafter’s good friend. I made multiples of this card, and taping the die directly to the embossing folder makes sure everything is perfectly aligned every time.

I was able to cut just this one leaf with a 4″x4″ square of DSP. It makes me very happy when numbers work out that way – I got 9 leaves from each sheet of DSP with pieces left over!

Shop the Online Store for Changing Leaves and Country Woods – it’s one of the Designer Series Papers that’s on sale all month.
