INKED BOTANICALS FUN FOLD

Posted on by
Reply

Production is not my jam, but I made 20 of these cards for a Fun-Fold swap at Stampin’ Up! leadership last month in Las Vegas. My absolute FAVE Inked Botanicals DSP was the star of this Square Double Z-Fold card.

A handmade card with floral designs and the sentiment “Hello Friend”
  • Stamps: Inked & Tiled
  • Color Palette: Very Vanilla, Lost Lagoon, Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo, Crushed Curry
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Scalloped Contour dies, Inked Botanicals DSP, Daubers, Linen Thread, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Stampin’ Blends

There’s a bit of cutting involved to get all the pieces, but after that it’s pretty much glue, glue, glue! The paper does all the heavy lifting for this card. Because I made so many, I did some mixing and matching of color and pattern:

The pattern across the bottom is the same, but I used 3 different Lost Lagoon papers for the front. There were also variations for the Crushed Curry panel on the inside.

The card base is 8 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ scored at 2 1/8″ and 4 1/4″. The narrow band across the bottom is 8 1/2″ x 1 1/4″ with the same scoring. All DSP is 1/8″ narrower on both sides to create a narrow margin for the mat. I chose a rectangular panel from Scalloped Contour dies for my focal point, but many other shapes would work well.

Have you made a Z-fold? A Double Z? I’d love to know how you coordinated the panels. And if you need some of that yummy Inked Botanicals Designer Series paper, shop the Online Store. Tell them I sent you 😁

SEPTEMBER 2023 DIY: Abundant Beauty

Posted on by

I’m really excited to share a sneak peek of a new product. The September-December Mini catalog debuts our first set of layering masks called Abundant Beauty. See if you think that’s an appropriate name:

A Handmade calendar page for September. It features 3 stenciled flowers in yellows and reds with green leaves.
  • Stamps: None (gasp)
  • Color Palette: Lemon Lolly, Crushed Curry, Poppy Parade, Cherry Cobbler, Copper Clay
  • Accessories: Abundant Beauty Decorative masks, Regular and Small Blending Brushes, 23-25 In Color dots, DIY Calendar template, Wink of Stella, Paper Snips, Masking paper, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I gave my Blending Brushes a workout. It’s easy to align the masks as they are numbered AND have a notch in each layer so you can register them accurately. There are 3 sizes of flowers on the masks, but I chose the smallest one and repeated it.

I used masking paper to cover the 2 flowers that I placed directly on the calendar, and then brushed some leaves (a bit randomly, I’d say) around them. I brushed a third flower on a scrap of Basic White and cut it out with my snips.

The color combinations are ENDLESS. I expect this to be a really popular item, so shop the Online Store early! The Mini is available beginning September 6th.

I’ve had a number of requests for the 2024 DIY Calendar template. I’d intended to offer it early this month, but the wildfires on Maui have been very disruptive. My family and I are fine, and our home was unaffected, but our island is like a small town. I appreciate your patience – I’ll make the calendar available soon.

Cheryl is taking a break in September, but Crystal has a calendar for you. Take a look at her beautiful calendar! And thanks for stopping by today.

AUGUST 2023: BIRD’S EYE VIEW

Posted on by

Oh these chunky little birds have stolen my heart! There’s something about the Bird’s Eye View crew that enchants me. These three are colored with Stampin’ Blends, and there’s a little color riddle in this calendar – do you see it?

A Handmade calendar page for August with 3 birds colored blue, yellow and green.
  • Stamps: Bird’s Eye View, Easter Bunny
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Azure Afternoon
  • Accessories: Stampin’ Blends, Masking Paper

I’m always torn when new birdies show up in the catalog, because I might already have a *few* bird stamps. But I’m certain I don’t have any birds wearing glasses, so that gave me the justification I needed to add The View to my Stampin’ Collection.

After I stamped this little family, I decided they needed something upon which to stand. Fortunately, the Easter Bunny was more than willing to share a little grass, and masking paper made sure the grass remained in the background.

SEASON OF CHIC: WATERCOLOR

Posted on by
Reply

I’m a late arrival to Season of Chic, but I’m now a true believer. It’s a versatile two-step stamping collection, and that makes it perfect for this simple watercolor technique:

Two white handmade cards with the sentiment "Happy Birthday", one with yellow flowers and one with purple flowers
  • Stamps: Season of Chic, Go To Greetings/Something Fancy
  • Color Palette: Basic White with Orchid Oasis, Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green and Parakeet Party/Basic White with Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Winter Wheat, and Old Olive
  • Accessories: Watercolor Paper, Stampin’ Spritzer, Dauber, Big Boss, Chic dies, Deckle Rectangle dies/Stitched Rectangle dies (retired), Metallic Ribbon/In Color Jute, Tinsel Gems/In Color dots

Do you have a favorite demonstrator (or two) whose work you never grow tired of? For me, Tami Hewlett is one of those people. She recently shared a stunning card showcasing a simple watercolor technique, and I really wanted to give it a try. Ink is applied to the stamp and the stamp is misted with water. Once it’s been stamped on watercolor paper, details are added using the two-step stamping technique.

I don’t have the Tropical Leaf Bundle that she used, but these flowers made me happy. I tried a number of color combinations, and the range of yellows and purples were very satisfying. For this technique, it makes a big difference to have that two-step outline. It adds shape and definition to the soft, flowing watercolor.

I originally intended to use Orchid Oasis with Starry Sky, but the combination was too dark and didn’t have enough contrast. Highland Heather provided the balance I needed.

Each flower is unique, depending on where I placed the ink and how much water it got from the Spritzer. Tami applied the darker ink direct to the stamp, but I found it gave me more control to use a dauber.

The watercolor paper makes a big difference. It absorbs the water, distributing the color evenly without distortion of the paper.

What color combination would you choose? I’m looking for more ideas! If you’d like to try this technique, shop for Season of Chic stamps and dies, or Tami’s choice, the Tropical Leaf bundle. Either way, I’m confident you’ll have a lot of fun!

SHARE A MILKSHAKE – 3 WAYS!

Posted on by

The Hello Irresistible Designer Series paper makes another appearance today with Share a Milkshake. The combination of Lost Lagoon and Lemon Lolly is truly irresistible!

A Handmade card with a patterned paper background, ice cream cone, and the sentiment “Life is Sweeter with You”
  • Stamps: Share a Milkshake
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Lemon Lolly, Lost Lagoon
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Share a Milkshake and Stylish Shapes dies, Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper, Basic Gems, Stampin’ Dimensionals

The little cone was my starting point. When it popped out of the die, I confess: I squealed! You need to understand that ice cream is one of my family’s Love Languages. Growing up, there were always at least 4 different flavors in the freezer. We are serious about this stuff!

A Handmade card with a patterned paper background, ice cream cone, and the sentiment “Life is Sweeter with You”

I’m not sure what flavor a Lost Lagoon scoop would be, but it looks pretty good with Lemon Lolly so I’ll let you use your imagination.

Which of these 3 versions of Hello Irresistible do you like best??

That grid pops out of the die just perfectly, and it creates a bunch of gorgeous little rectangular shapes. I let them sit in a little heap for a long time before I swept them into the round file. I’m sure I’ll think of a use for them later.

STAMPS ON SALE and the BIGGEST WISH

Posted on by

I love the Biggest Wish stamp set. And it’s on sale today, along with all Annual Catalog stamp sets (does not include host, bundle or online exclusive.) I put “HELLO friend” together with a punched textural background for a quick card with a Big Wish:

White card with circle offset center and words "HELLO friend"
  • Stamps: Biggest Wish, Country Bouquet
  • Color Palette: Basic White, BubbleBath, Lost Lagoon
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Stylish Shapes dies, 2 3/8″ Circle punch, Inked & Tiled “X” punch, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I have some very old Lost Lagoon ribbon, but I chose to keep this card current. I cut some Lost Lagoon paper into narrow strips and adhered them behind the circle focal point for a simple embellishment.

These punched elements are really easy to align for this technique! Punch a dozen and you’re ready to go – these were easy to do by eye. Biggest Wish has all the words you need in fonts that work together.

BEST LABEL and SOMETHING FANCY

Posted on by

I’m still playing with DIY backgrounds. I’ve found that punches work well as every piece is the same size and shape. Best Label created a lot of texture!

  • Stamps: Something Fancy, Country Bouquet
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Lemon Lolly, Soft Sea Foam
  • Accessories: Best Label punch, Big Boss, Stylish Shapes Dies, Textured Floral Dies, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I confess that I grew a little weary of lining up and adhering all those little Best Labels. Don’t look too closely, as they’re not perfectly straight! If I were to make another, I would use pencil lines or washi tape to create a grid, but I was feeling bold and trusted my eye to get it straight. Oops.

A Handmade card with a textured background and a square element with the phrase “Here’s to beautiful beginnings and happily ever afters”

The little hearts are from Country Bouquet. Since they’re open, they’re a light-touch accent to the sentiment. I thought about adding some Lemon Lolly Solid Gems but left them off in favor of the little floral clusters from the Textured Floral dies.

JULY 2023: INKED & TILED

Posted on by

Inked and Tiled is my new top-of-desk fave! Today those flowers make a super-bloom meadow for my July DIY Easel calendar:

A Handmade desktop calendar for July 2023 with a field of yellow flowers
  • Stamps: Inked & Tiled, Lighting the Way
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Parakeet Party
  • Accessories: Daubers, paper snips, masking paper

I use daubers to apply the ink to the stamps. They’re faster than markers, and I think the coverage is better. After I stamped them on the calendar, I stamped the flowers again on masking paper and fussy cut them with my snips to mask the flowers. Such a mindless activity when you’re on hold (forever, and ever, and ever, and ever) with the tax department.

A Handmade desktop calendar for July 2023 with a field of yellow flowers

I ink the stem with the daubers first, then use Lemon Lolly on the top of the flower. I dip the edge of a dauber in Daffodil Delight and carefully add it to the base of the blossom. (Sometimes more carefully than other times!)

The background is stamped with an image from Lighting the Way – I think it’s a lightning bug swarm. I used Lemon Lime Twist, stamped off once to keep it soft and in the background. The background mat is Parakeet Party, because I liked it better.

INKED and TILED for a FRIEND

Posted on by

The sentiments in the Inked and Tiled stamp set are perfect for so many occasions: Thank You, Happy Birthday, Hello Friend. I like to use Hello Friend when I’m making a card for my stash. I can add another sentiment on the inside when I’m ready to send if I want to make it a birthday or thanks card.

A handmade card with 3 coral flowers on a white background and a printed paper panel on the side
  • Stamps: Inked and Tiled
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Lost Lagoon, Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Basic Borders dies, Inked Botanicals DSP (on sale!), Stampin’ Dimensionals, Daubers

The leaf is inked in Lost Lagoon, stamped off, and then stamped 2nd and 3rd generations on the card. The color is applied to the floral stamp using daubers, which allow a lot of definition but in my opinion, provide a richer ink application than using the marker method.

The two border cut panels are created by sending Basic White and Lost Lagoon card stock through the Stamp, Cut and Emboss machine together with the corner die from the Basic Dies. They’re offset and the edge of the Basic White panel is turned under. The assembly is adhered as one piece to the card front.

a shaped paper panel with 8 adhesive dots

I used MANY Stampin’ Dimensionals for this layer. It’s my card and I’ll do what I want!! You can also see where I turned under the Basic White panel. I like the resulting smooth edge.

To finish up, I diluted a single drop of Lost Lagoon ink in a tablespoon of water and used a brush to splatter the front, No ribbons, no gems, just a nice flat card for mailing!

TEXTURED FLORAL BIRTHDAY IN Lemon Lolly and Fresh Freesia

Posted on by

It’s technically Spring for another 4 days, so I’m calling this Textured Floral birthday card a celebration of Spring! The combination of Lemon Lolly, Fresh Freesia and BubbleBath is perfect for a floral explosion.

  • Stamps: Textured Floral
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Lemon Lolly, Fresh Freesia, BubbleBath, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Deckle Rectangles, Adhesive Backed Solid Gems, Artistic Mix Decorative Masks, Blending Brush, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I promised myself I would hold back on new floral stamp sets when the 23-24 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog was published. Ahem. So much for those promises! I couldn’t resist all the floral images with so many centers and leaves to mix and match with the blooms. Does it count as breaking a promise if you didn’t really mean it in the first place? Asking for a friend.

A Handmade birthday Card with flowers in lavender, yellow and green on a white card base with the sentiment “birthday blooms for you”

You can just see the edge of the masking I did on the Granny Apple Green panel. The Blending Brush is the perfect tool to whisk ink evenly across the mask. I prefer subtle texture in my layers.

I’m not quite sure how I feel about the offset panel. I don’t mind asymetry, but I prefer parallel or perpendicular lines. I guess you could say this one is just a little bit outside the box for me! If you need Textured Floral in your crafting box, shop the Online Store.
