WINTERLY TREETOPS: CASE THE MAUI STAMPER

Posted on January 24, 2025 by mauistamper

Do you have bits and pieces of old projects hanging around? I’m at the point where I’m worried they will organize against me because they’re so neglected.

Last week, I combined elements from two projects to create this CASE (Copy And Share with Everyone):

Stamps: Keeping Tabs
Color Palette: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Cherry Cobbler
Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Winterly Treetops dies, Winterly Treetops DSP, Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder, Country Woods DSP, Nature’s Sweetness Specialty DSP, Linen Thread, Glue Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals, retired ribbon and punch

That’s the original – you can see I kept the card base, embossed panel, and specialty DSP. I didn’t die cut the Country Woods DSP with the Changing Leaves die, I changed up the ribbon and sentiment, and I added die cut birds from Winterly Treetops (I had a bag of them hanging around).

This CASE is much more colorful. These birdies were die cut from the DSP, so there is no fancy coloring involved here. I made a bunch of these with all of my leftovers!

What do you have hanging around? I confess it was very gratifying to pull all of these elements together, and I even used up some of the retired ribbon that seems to accumulate like lost socks in my craft room. Need something to finish a project? Shop HERE.

SPOTLIGHT ON PRETTY IN PINK

Posted on September 19, 2024 by mauistamper

It wasn’t my original intent, but this card turned out to be quite the girly card. ALL THAT PINK!!! Sometimes I surprise myself.

Stamps: Spotlight on Nature, Keeping Tabs
Color Palette: Basic White, Pretty in Pink, Granny Apple Green
Accessories: 24-26 In Color Designer Series Paper, Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Spotlight on Nature dies, Greetings of the Season dies, Stampin’ Write markers, Blender Pen, Pretty in Pink Bordered Ribbon, Transparent Adhesive Backed Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals

My original intent was to work with the Spotlight on Nature dies to see what I could do with them. I cut a circle from Pretty in Pink DSP from the Color Family pack, then cut a white ring with a larger circle to create a frame. I stamped the floral image from the Spotlight on Nature stamps onto a white card front, then layered the DSP with the opening over the image.

I used the marker to stamp method, coloring directly onto the stamp with my Stampin’ Write markers. Instead of filling in with Stampin’ Blends, I chose to use a Blender pen. The shading is softer and allows the details from the stamped image to show.

REGAL FLORA from the NEW MINI!

Posted on September 3, 2024 by mauistamper

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.
