Hello there Calendar makers and enjoyers! We’re glad you’re here and hope you’ll enjoy our February calendars. This month, I’m using a number of stamp sets to create my calendar – and a brand new, not -yet-released tool! Tell me what you think:

I started with the line of hearts from Along These Lines, then decided they weren’t enough. Before I knew it, More Was More. Hearts. Flowers. Little Pink Dits. Doesn’t that say Valentines’ Day to you?? 😆

Those hearts are aligned with our brand new Stampin’ Positioner, available February 3rd. But wait, there’s more!

Join Stampin’ Up! and get your Positioner for free with your kit! Crafting is even more fun with community, and when you join my team you’ll enjoy all the perks that come with that, like a 20–25% product discount, early access to the latest products and catalogs, and so much more – plus a free Stampin’ Positioner. There are absolutely no strings attached. Message me and we can chat about whether or not this is right for you.

ADD LAYERS FOR A CONEFLOWER BIRTHDAY

I’ve had the Coneflower Celebrations bundle for a while, but as sometimes happens, I was busy with other things and left it languishing on the shelf. I decided it was time to see if I could play with the 3D aspect of the dies.

  • Stamps: Coneflower Celebrations
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Pecan Pie, Garden Green
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Coneflower Celebrations Dies, Linen Thread, Blender Pen, Blending Brush, Dauber, Wink of Stella

I used three different dies for the flowers. One layered the top set of petals and needed nothing more than a bit of ink – I brushed on Crushed Curry and daubed a little Pecan Pie on the edges.

The second layer went underneath. You can stamp one side and run it through the Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine with the double sided die, but then you need to align that image for the second side. These stamps are photopolymer, so it’s pretty easy. These petals had color added as well – you can see the difference in the top part of the two-sided flower.

The final die is the “cap” done in Pecan Pie with a very generous application of Wink of Stella. When all those pieces were assembled, I stamped the leaves and stem and colored them with the Blender Pen, then put it all together.

The final touch was ink splatters – I used a different splat die, then realized that Coneflower Celebrations has a gorgeous splatter! In my house, we call that delayed intelligence. Hope you enjoy! All products are available in the Online Store.

LLAMA CHRISTMAS OR LLAMA CELEBRATION??

Llamas are back – this time in landscape! Their necks aren’t quite as long, but there’s room for more of them, and more llamas can only be a good thing. Please tell me you agree.

  • Stamps: Long Time No See, Spooky Halloween
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Memento Black, Gray Granite, Smoky Slate, Lost Lagoon, Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade
  • Accessories: Stampin’ Blends, Paper Snips (no longer available), Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon (retired)

I really wanted this to be a Christmas Card, but when I switched out the sentiment I had second thoughts. This sentiment is from Coneflower Celebrations, and I think it fits better. Ugh. I need to find order a Christmas sentiment this shape!

Either way, this card was colored with Stampin’ Blends much the way Tuesday’s card was. The llama-neck-sweaters have 3 colors, and if you look closely you’ll realize that some of the llamas are Smoky Slate and some are Gray Granite. Those funny starry background bits are from Spooky Halloween, because it was sitting on my desk begging to be included (Yes, the stamps talk to me, and I respond. And yes, that probably means I’m certifiable.)

Look at their perky ears! They’re waiting for you to tell them how handsome they are!! Go ahead, make their day. And then shop the Online Store for your own perky llamas.
