Leaf Collection

How many ways do I love thee, Leaf Collection? This versatile background stamp can be used in many ways, but first and foremost it’s a background!

  • Stamps: Leaf Collection, Sweetly Scripted
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Summer Splash, Memento Black
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Deckled Circle dies, 24-26 In Color DSP, Rhinestone gems, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Stampin’ Up! really hit the DSP Color Family patterns out of the ballpark this year! They’re versatile and varied. Those color packs are a great value – the In Color packs have 4 sheets of each pattern (5 colors) and the Classic Color packs have 2 of each pattern (10 colors).

This layout is quick and easy, and Sweetly Scripted has a sentiment for just about any message you want to send. Whip up a few of these and leave off the message – you can add it in a jiffy and be ready for anything!

And if you don’t have Leaf Collection, shop the Online Store.

JUNE 2024 DIY: SEASIDE WISHES

I did a happy dance when I saw Seaside Wishes on the demonstrator pre-order offering. It was at the top of my shopping list, and that should come as no surprise. I have lots of plans for these images!

  • Stamps: Seaside Wishes
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, Calypso Coral
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Seaside Wishes dies, Blending Brushes, Wink of Stella, Stampin’ Dimensionals

There’s a little Wink of Stella along the shoreline, a bit of sea foam if you like. The pebbled path is stamped-off to keep it subtle. I brushed a light layer of Pool Party above the path and Crumb Cake below it with Stampin’ Brushes.

This calendar page is perfect for the start of summer. To be honest, we don’t really notice summer – June is mango season. Lychee and passionfruit are soon to follow. We have seasons, but they’re different from the traditional ones on the calendar. (Whale season starts anytime late October to early November!)

I’m so glad you’ve visited our calendar mini hop! Please stop by to see what Cheryl and Crystal have created for June. We look forward to hearing what you think each month.

And if you need your own Seaside Wishes, shop the Online Store. There’s a hybrid embossing folder too – but the images were too big for my little calendar. (The embossing folder is currently unavailable, and is anticipated in the warehouse next week.)

Sweetly Scripted with In Color DSP

I love featuring a single color with black and white. I have yet to find a combination that doesn’t work – and I thought Shy Shamrock was a stunner:

  • Stamps: Sweetly Scripted
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Shy Shamrock, Basic Black
  • Accessories: Iridescent Adhesive Backed Discs, 24-26 In Color DSP

Have I mentioned how I love Sweetly Scripted?????

The font combined with the length of the sentiment makes it a natural for a focal point. And that diagonal panel is simple: cut it to the width you want, mat it with Basic Black card stock, and place it diagonally on your card front. Use your snips (or a trimmer if you prefer) to square the corners and you’re done!

What color would you choose for this project? We have so many to choose from!

And if you need some fresh new colors, shop the Online Store.

Vintage Butterflies

I had such fun with this! Bold Butterflies is from the archives, but you might not guess that looking at this card:

  • Stamps: Bold Butterfly (Vintage), Translucent Florals
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Pretty in Pink, Petunias Pop, Pool Party, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight
  • Accessories: Paper Snips, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Glossy Dots Assortment

Do you have vintage stamps that haven’t seen daylight in a while? I was challenged to find a way to use this oldie-but-goodie in a more modern design. What do you think?

This is a VERY simple design and I think that’s why it works. It lets those big Bold Butterflies shine. The center butterfly is fussy cut (this stamp set pre-dates dies by years!!)

What vintage set have you kept and not used? Time to dust it off!

And if you need paper and ink to complete the project, shop the Online Store.

Hexagons In Color

The Heartfelt Hexagon punch has been super popular, and if you’re lucky enough to have one I hope you’ll try this fun card:

  • Stamps: Something Fancy
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Petunia Pop
  • Accessories: Heartfelt Hexagon Punch, 24-26 In Color DSP, 3/4” White Trim (retired)

I found it easiest to punch multiple hexagons and then play with them until I found a pleasing pattern.

I need more cards with this sentiment 😳 sad, but true! I’m glad to have it.

This layout works with just about any DSP Collection, but it’s especially well suited to our color family collections. Just mix and match the patterns!

If you need a fresh pack of DSP, shop the Online Store.

Leaf Collection: Welcome Friend

Leaf Collection is the most versatile large format stamp we’ve had in a long time. Today’s card uses it traditionally: as a background image.

  • Stamps: Leaf Collection, Sending Love
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Pretty Peacock, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, So Swirly Embossing Folder, 2 3/8” Circle Punch, 1 3/4” Circle Punch, Linen Thread, Iridescent Adhesive Backed Discs, Stampin’ Dimensionals

This layout is not my usual style, but I’m challenging myself to mix things up. I added texture with the embossing folder to break up all the solid color elements.

The card base could easily have been one of the component colors, but I favor white card bases. They’re clean, they don’t distract from the elements of the design, and I don’t need to add another inside panel for the message.

Take a minute to check your large format stamps – if you don’t have something like Leaf Collection you’ll find it in the Online Store. And don’t miss Free Shipping with a qualified order on May 21!

BEST.FRIEND.EVER IN COLOR

Here’s another version of the Country Flowers images I colored last week featuring some of the 24-26 In Colors. I think I like the kettle better than the bucket!

  • Stamps: Country Flowers
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Petunia Pop, Pretty in Pink, Shy Shamrock, Wild Wheat, Memento Black
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Deckle Rectangle dies, 24-26 In Color DSP, Wild Wheat Textured Ribbon (retired), Stampin’ Blends, Stampin’ Dimensionals

My inspiration was one of the card sketches on page 22 of the 24-25 Annual Catalog. I didn’t follow it exactly but that’s the beauty of a sketch – you can interpret it to suit your needs.

I stamped the sentiment on a narrow strip of card stock and trimmed the ends at an angle. The original piece of card stock was quite long, which allowed me to place it on the focal point panel and lightly mark exactly where I wanted to trim the ends. Sometimes I surprise myself by actually thinking ahead.

Can you keep a secret? I initially colored the leaves with Granny Apple Green, but when I decided to use the color family DSP pack I just colored right over them with Shy Shamrock. And I consider it a minor stroke of genius that I saw the potential for Wild Wheat to create the impression of a brass kettle.

Well, Bella says I’m done on the computer for now. She’s a bossy girl when bedtime approaches. Take a peek at the Online Store to see Country Flowers and all the other products I’ve used to create this card. And thanks for stopping by!

MAY 2024 DIY: ICE CREAM SWIRL BERRIES

It’s May Day! And I’m thinking about SUMMER FRUIT. The Strawberry in the Ice Cream Swirl stamp set has been calling my name for days, and I’ve given it an entire month on my craft desk:

  • Stamps: Ice Cream Swirl, Sending Love, Bee My Valentine
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly, Memento Black
  • Accessories: Stampin’ Blends, Masking Paper

The strawberry isn’t the focal point of the Ice Cream Swirl set, but I noticed it when I was editing my stamps to be current with the new 24-25 Annual Catalog. I’m a big fan of fruit in season, and we get beautiful strawberries from Upcountry Maui this time of year.

I masked the strawberries as I stamped them – I always stamp the middle first! After I colored them with my Blends, I thought it needed a little something more. I tried a bunch of options, but a little bird made me happiest, and you KNOW that’s how I make my decisions.

Thanks so much for visiting our little calendar mini hop! Please stop by to see what Cheryl and Crystal have created for May. We love to make these little calendars and share them with you.
