Sweetly Scripted with In Color DSP

Posted on by
2

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!

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

Posted on by

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!

COUNTRY FLOWERS IN GRAY GRANITE

Posted on by
Reply

Country Flowers offers multiple ways to fill a kettle – or a bucket – with plants and flowers. I stamped a stack of options and played with a lot of colors, but this two-tone version turned out to be my favorite:

  • Stamps: Country Flowers, Sweetly Scripted
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Gray Granite, Granny Apple Green, Memento Black
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Stylish Shapes dies, Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, Stampin’ Blends, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Country Lace DSP, Pebble Path Jute Trim, Stampin’ Dimensionals

The Country Lace DSP and the Eyelet 3D embossing folders are perfectly coordinated, and give added texture to the card stock strip. I thought about adding some kind of gem or dot, but honestly, I’ve done that with nearly everything I’ve made the past few weeks and I wanted something different. The jute trim is more in keeping with the country feeling.

I’ m still working on my Blends technique. I tried to be more consistent with the light on the leaves and the kettle, and it’s better than others I’ve done in the past!

There are more images colored with Blends just waiting for a little love. This one was really fun to assemble, and it came together quickly – so I’m encouraged. It would be easy to replicate this and put a different Sweetly Scripted Sentiment (say that 5 times!!) on each version.

Country Flowers is from the 24-25 Annual Catalog, and Sweetly Scripted is an Online Exclusive. Don’t miss either one – shop the Online Store.

MAY 2024 DIY: ICE CREAM SWIRL BERRIES

Posted on by
1

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.

SENDING LOVE on a SUNNY DAY

Posted on by

Sending Love is a stamp set that really speaks to what we card-makers do: it’s all about that message that you write and mail to brighten someone’s mailbox. I don’t know about you, but most of my mail is from realtors! It seems most everything else is electronic, so when there’s an envelope with a hand-written address, I get pretty excited.

  • Stamps: Sending Love
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Gray Granite, Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, Real Red, Memento Black, Basic Black
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Sending Love dies, Stampin’ Blends, Sunny Day DSP (SAB 24), Stampin’ Dimensionals

This card was inspired by Elizabeth Price, one of our amazing Stampin’ Up! Artisans. I made a few changes, mostly to simplify the project for a group crafting event.

When I stamped the mailbox with Memento Black, I avoided the grassy bottom. I used a dauber to add a bit of Granny Apple Green to the grass, because who wants dead grass at the bottom of their mailbox?

I love the cheeriness of this color combination. I had knee surgery in early March, and as I progress through rehab (exercises! exercises! exercises!) I’m getting to the point that I can actually do something besides my exercises! These bright colors lift my spirits and I hope they lift yours as well.

The Sending Love Bundle is retiring on April 30. The stamps and dies will still be available, but will no longer be offered at a bundled discount. If you love it, get it now and save!

APRIL 2024 DIY: PLANTED PARADISE

Posted on by
Reply

When I’m not crafting, I’m in my garden. It shouldn’t be a surprise that I have lots of plant, flower and tree stamps in my library! My April calendar is an homage to all the colors in nature:

  • Stamps: Planted Paradise
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Sweet Sorbet, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Shaded Spruce
  • Accessories: Paper Snips, Sponge Dauber, Stampin’ Spritzer, Stampin’ Dimensionals

For my colorful leaves, I inked the stamp in Daffodil Delight and applied Sweet Sorbet and Garden Green with a Dauber. I misted the stamp lightly with the Spritzer and stamped. I love the watercolored effect.

You might be thinking “OK, MauiStamper, it’s pretty and all, but what kind of plants look like that?”

Behold my garden:

This is Codiaeum variegatum, known locally as Croton (although that’s technically inaccurate). I have leaves this shape as well as plants with long, strappy leaves, and there are a number of other varieties common to the tropics. They love the climate and we love them!

Sweet Sorbet is retiring April 30th and I will miss it! But there are 5 gorgeous new colors coming to take the place of the 22-23 crew, and we will see them soon 😁
