Pear Thanks

Today I have a quick card using two complimentary Pear products. That is not something I would normally think of as a having a starring role. However they work wonderfully together.

Stampin' Up!, penciled pear, fruit salad, earthtone shimmer gems, natural tones linen thread, circle punch, jackie beers

STAMPS

The Penciled Pear is focal layer of the card. I have always liked it for a plain card with a pop. It is sort of a subtle stamp. And it has great sentiments included in the set. For this card I used the Direct To Rubber Technique using Stampin’ Write Markers. Granny Apple Green is the body, Old Olive is the leaf and the shadow, and Early Espresso is the stem. The set does not include matching Dies. So I fussy cut the pear to layer here.

The sentiment is one that I mentioned is included in the stamp set. I believe it is such a sweet way of saying Thank You. Having these type cards ready to go when someone is extra special, or for a friend, is always nice.

The Stampin’ Write Markers used in the Direct To Rubber Technique only are available in a color family pack. Now is the perfect time to get two packs of these. The current Sale-A-Bration Starter Kit Special includes 2 packs of Stampin’ Write Markers as a Bonus!!! Additionally you receive a special Stamp Set plus the regular $125.00 in products of your choice for $99.00. And did I mention that shipping is FREE!!! If you are interested please reach out to me.

PAPERS

This fun Pear paper is actually from the Sale-A-Bration DSP named Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper. The pack has almost any fruit you can think of included. I was surprised when I saw the pears and immediately thought of the Penciled Pear to “PAIR” with it! LOL!!!

To add a bit more to the sentiment and focal layer, I fussy cut a pear from the edge of the strip I had cut away from the sheet. It tucks perfectly under the Penciled Pear. And to help the pears stand out I layerd them on an Early Espresso circle.

EXTRAS

The circle behind the pears is the first of the extras. This was made using the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. I love circle punches for quick focal layers. To add some texture, I used two different products. Beneath the circle I added a twisted bow using the Natural Tones Linen Thread from the last Mini Catalog. And of course some bling. This bling is not super shiny. It is the Earthtone Shimmer Gems which are in a few different colors. I used a trio of the green to highlight the green pears.

Arched Birthday

I have had a hard time of getting my mind wrapped around the Online Exclusives. Basically I forget to look at them. I am old fashioned and love the catalog in my hand. However, now that I have begun checking out the Online offerings, I am in love. And looking on the website is becoming normal. I shop on websites all the time.

All of this said, today’s card is made with a fabulous Online Exclusive Die set. It is the Everyday Arches. There are several of them and they all layer. That is my favorite thing! So after all of my talking, here is the card.

Stampin' Up!, everyday arches, shadowed shapes, unbounded love, shaded spruce, regal foiled, jackie beers

STAMPS

The arches are what I began with, but this amazing stamp is also a star. It is similar to a stamp set we had previously that I loved. The name is Shadowed Shapes. And that is a perfect name for these stamps. When I saw this set of two stamps I knew I had to have it. The stamp is a negative really. To add color to the detailed cut out places I went over them carefully with Shaded Spruce and Real Red Stampin’ Write Markers. I used the direct to rubber technique of using the brush tip to gently go over the stamp. In this case it was going over the fine cut out pieces.

To begin with I had to decide on the solid color of the stamp. In thinking of the strawberries as they are shown, I decided it needed to be sky blue. Balmy Blue was my choice. I inked the stamp with the Balmy Blue and then used the markers to do their thing. Of course I love that it also has an arched top. The inside of the card has sentiments from the awesome Unbounded Love stamp set.

PAPERS

There is no designer paper today. It shocks me every time. I went with the colors from the strawberries. The Real Red makes a bold arch for the stamp. To keep things somewhat simple, even though the arches are a standout, I went with Basic White for the card base.

The cutting of the Real Red arch left a perfect layer for an outline. When I really looked at it, I decided it had to go on the inside of the card. The sentiments are from the Unbounded Love stamp set. Here is the inside open view.

EXTRAS

The Everyday Arches are my star as mentioned several times. I used the 3rd and 5th from largest to cut the images. For the texture touches I add a ribbon of the Shaded Spruce Satin & Sheer Ribbon. It is wrapped around and secured on the back then a separate pieces is tied in a knot on the front. Easy Peasy! And the final touch is the bling. Even though these are not shiny bling, I love them. They are from the Regal Foiled Adhesive Dots. I chose to use both the red and the green for a different look.

Sending Love

It has finally dawned on me that Valentine’s Day is just a short couple of weeks away. When looking through my stamp sets I checked out the wonderful new Hearts of Elegance Bundle. The Dies are what grabbed my attention for a fun card that is a little different. It is a heart shaped card.

Stampin' Up!, hearts of elegance, marbled elegance, low profile dots, melon mambo, pretty in pink, jackie beers

Here is the fun open view:

Stampin' Up!, jackie beers, hearts of elegance

STAMPS & DIES

The Hearts of Elegance Bundle, from the new drop of Online Exclusives, contains great Valentine and Love sentiments as well as a few additional images. The Die set is fabulous! There are two large Dies, the two larger on the front of the card, and then several smaller ones. The inside White and the DSP are the same Die that doesn’t exactly fit the second largest. But it does fit the largest and has a few smaller in the layering line.

The rose is from the stamp set and did not complete as I envisioned. The single stamping of it left two much open space. So I turned it just a bit and stamped again. That worked perfectly except I should have done them in complimentary colors I believe. I did add some highlights with Stampin’ Blends. And the banner sentiment is from the set and fits perfectly across the front of the card. As does the inside Happy Valentine’s Day!

PAPERS

The color choices in paper are pulled from this gorgeous DSP. It is the Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper. The paper has been so popular that it is currently out of stock. Hopefully it will return soon. I did not realize it was out until I had already used it on the card.

To match the DSP, I used Melon Mambo as the card base and Pretty In Pink for the large layer. I believe I covered up the pink of the marbling with the banner though. The fun heart shaped card was made by beginning with a regular 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 card base folded in half. I only wanted the one corner to be connected for a unique look. To make this happen I placed the Largest heart shape Die on the front of the folded card in landscape mode. And I simply pushed one of the heart tops past the fold just a bit. It does take several run throughs on the Cut & Emboss machine to cut through the two pieces of cardstock.

EXTRAS

This gorgeous DSP really doesn’t need a lot of bling assistance. Since I shared a card yesterday that had no bling, I felt obligated to add a bit more today. The Low Profile Dots seemed perfect to add a more gold. Plus they were handy! And they help bring out the gold leaves for the rose. That was a thought that may throw some folks off. I took some creative license and added the gold leaves to the rose as an added touch of bling. When Wild Wheat retires I will be lost as I use it regularly for a gold ink color.

Fine Wine

I love the “Fun” stamp sets that the Stampin’ Up! Artists design. They generally will find their way to my craft room. The card I am sharing today is from one of those Fun sets. This one has a variety of designs and sentiments to make you smile. And that is what card making is all about in my book.

Stampin' Up!, one more year, timeless plaid, labeled with love, circle punch, linen thread, jackie beers

STAMPS

This Fun stamp set is named One More Year. It has unique designs and sentiments to wish someone a happy birthday. I love this one with Wine and Cheese. You cannot go wrong here for almost anyone in their adult years.

The wine and cheese are stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored using Stampin’ Blends. For the sentiment I went with a bit of fussy cutting to get it to the size I needed for the label.

PAPERS

The DSP used today is partly due to this being a male birthday card. And I love the plaid designs. The name of the DSP pack is Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper. This is a 6 X 6, so I see a lot of different projects coming soon in plaid! I paired the plaid with Flirty Flamingo as the card base and Cherry Cobbler as the layer.

EXTRAS

There are several products under the Extra banner today. First are the layers of the wine and cheese. These are the 2″ and 2 3/8″ Circle Punches. And the sentiment label is from the Labeled With Love Punch. To add some color to the open area of that label, I used the Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Write Marker to “Flick” some splatter onto it. Unfortunately the markers are only available as a color family pack.

To my surprise I realized there is no bling! But there is some additional texture that leans toward masculine. I used Linen Thread to tie a strip around the card and added a double knot for the bow. I love Linen Thread in place of ribbon on certain cards.

Floral Butterfly

I have a gorgeous butterfly to share with you today. Generally I do not choose the butterfly sets but this one really got my attention. Part of the grab is the matching Die set and the other are the sweet sentiments that go along with the butterflies. You will be seeing more of this bundle in the near future from me!

Stampin' Up!, beautiful butterflies, floral delight, low profile dots, old olive, daffodil delight, jackie beers

STAMPS & DIES

This card is all about the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle! This is a fabulous bundle of images, sentiments, and some really neat Die details. My card is a bit on the simpler side of things for this first one. The big star is the large butterfly. You can see the wonderful details of the Die even in my photo. To give myself away, I actually intended to use the other side of the butterfly as I chose that paper first. But after seeing the detail and it seemed to show better on this more floral side. The detail on the reverse does not disappoint either.

To decide on the sentiment for the front of the card became a bit of a challenge. There is a lot going on for this card front. Since the butterfly is so large and I have it going from edge to edge, I opted to do the same with the sentiment. This strip of Daffodil Delight was from trimming the layer. I cut it to fit and then stamped this simple Happy Birthday.

PAPERS

The butterfly and the DSP layer are one sheet from the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper pack. As I said above, my plan was to use the other side of the butterfly. That is what is now the layer pattern. I flipped both pieces back and forth a few times until I decided to go as you see.

The flowers at the bottom of the card are from another sheet from this same DSP. I fussy cut these little flowers to add to the card. There is also a corner piece on the inside of the card. Please remember when you have a design in the corner of a sheet that it is not wasted! They work wonderfully by being cut out and added to the bottom of the inside layer. I apologize that I failed to get a photo.

EXTRAS

To add some bling to this card was debated for a few minutes. There really is a lot going on here. But I gave in to my normal way of doing things. And I am so happy I did. These gold dots are from the new Low-Profile Dots that are an Online Exclusive item. And they are really low profile! In fact they feel almost flat. This pack has both gold and a pink/coral color. You will be seeing me use a lot of these little sweeties!

Love & Thanks

The card I have to share today is a mix of new OnLine , Sale-A-Bration, and Mini Catalog products. This octagon shape is the star.

Stampin' Up!, memorable blooms bundle, elements of text, beautiful bokeh, purple sequins, berry burst, lost lagoon, jackie beers

STAMPS & DIES

This focal octagon shape is from the Memorable Blooms Bundle in the Mini Catalog. There is another smaller Octagon that fits inside this one. That Die has a floral design included. For this card all I needed was the plain shape. For the inside of the shape I used one of the Elements of Text stamps that is a new Online Exclusive set. This is the long, skinny text stamp. There is a larger, more square, one also. It is stamped as the background using Smoky Slate Ink.

The pretty floral stamp in the focal layer is from the Memorable Blooms Bundle as well. It is stamped using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink and then colored using Stampin’ Blends. My colors for the entire card are Berry Burst and Lost Lagoon. That is what I used to color the floral. And the simple, yet bold, sentiment is from the stamp set as well.

PAPERS

To create the background of this card was as simple as choosing this sheet of paper from the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper. This sheet is what inspired the card colors. And the strip of the sentiment is the reverse side of this splattered sheet. I wanted to use it but was afraid the ink would not show very well on the Berry Burst darker color. However with the boldness of the stamp it worked just fine. I love stamping on DSP!

The card base is Berry Burst with layers of Lost Lagoon. The little strip beneath the sentiment layer was all it needed to give it some grounding.

EXTRAS

To have some additional of the berry color, I turned to one of the Free items from Sale-A-Bration. These are the Purple Sequins. Products are Free with a qualifying order. These sequins are a couple of different shades of pink. They fit perfectly with my card today.

Blooms of Thanks

I love opening the boxes of new products! Seeing items in person is so much better than in the catalog. Along those lines is the star of today’s card. Two little die cuts and the card is practically finished! This is a fun and versatile type card.

Stampin' Up!, memorable blooms, spring corners dies, party dots, fruit salad , crushed curry, jackie beers

STAMPS and DIES

The stamp for this card is great. But it is not really the star of the card. The cut outs in the two corners are what makes this simple card so cute. And it was so simple to do! The cut outs are from two separate Dies from the Spring Corners Die set. (There is also a fabulous matching stamp set.)

The Dies are perfect to place in corners as you can see. I simply chose my Basic White layer and added the two dies where I wanted them. One run through the cutting machine and here we are! I have seen cards where folks have cut the large flower several times in different colors and then pieced the cut out pieces into this outline. Those are really pretty, but I opted for quick and easy on this one.

The sentiment is from a separate stamp set. It is from another new set the Memorable Blooms. It is a bundle in the Mini Catalog. One of my favorite things is a mixing of fonts. And this one really stands out.

PAPERS

To create the background of my flower I wanted daisy colors. In looking through my DSP, I found this piece from the Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper. It is a Sale-A-Bration DSP, which means you can get it free with a qualifying order amount. Actually I used two sheets of the same pattern. The layer behind the die cut areas is the opposite side of the layer piece.

The layer piece looks like the inside of an orange slice when you see the full sheet. And to compliment the yellow of the DSP, I went with Crushed Curry for the card base. When trying to decide how to place my sentiment I noticed a scrap of the DSP on the table. So I fussy cut the sentiment and layered it on the scrap. Then I fussy cut the DSP scrap to match. It was very quick and I do not mind fussy cutting at all. Especially on this which had some straight cuts.

EXTRAS

The bling for the card was chosen to match the yellow again. These are sweet little color dots and not really shiny bling. But that is okay with me. I like matching my colors sometimes. These are named Party Dots! How cute is that. There is a variety of colors in the package.

Love You More!

I am back from my knee replacement surgery. Woohoo!! It was so hard not being able to go down the steps to my craft room. The worst part was not really the getting down or back up. It was that I do not really have the room to prop my leg up. And it has not cared for hanging down for any length of time. I am at three weeks post op now and it is behaving itself and accepting the seated position down there. Being short has all kinds of issues. But feet not reaching the floor is one of the most problematic!! Enough about me. Just know that I am happy to be back creating for you, and myself!

Today’s card is a simple one using the Friendly Seagulls stamp set. It is Sale-A-Bration time and this is my favorite of the catalog. The cute french fries is what grabbed my attention. My last meal wish will be a hamburger and french fries!! LOL!!!

Stampin' Up!, friendly seagulls, antique pearls, crumb cake, basic beige, coastal cabana, balmy blue, jackie beers

STAMPS

The stamps used are all part of the Friendly Seagulls stamp set. The seagulls do not have matching dies. So I did have to fussy cut them. I like fussy cutting so did not mind at all to create the scene I had in mind. They are stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored using Stampin’ Blends.

The shells are stamped using Crumb Cake Ink and are just part of what you would see on the beach. Although my experience is they are generally broken! I did add the cute little bubbles, or foam, at the water line. That is so appropriate. And of course the birds flying overhead.

PAPERS

The papers are what make this scene. Shockingly, there is no designer series paper used. To create my seashore scene I began with a piece of Basic Beige cardstock. Next came strips of Coastal Cabana for the water and Balmy Blue for the sky. These were scraps I had on hand. I tore the edge of the Coastal Cabana to show the water coming onto shore. The two pieces were then layered onto the Basic Beige and cut off on the length. Really it was much easier than I anticipated!

EXTRAS

The extra is only one thing. The Antique Pearls are from the new Mini Catalog. I love them!! They have a great shine and are pretty flat. You could count the seagulls as extras since they are fussy cut. But I did not raise them. They are glued flat onto the scene.

Happy Heart

I have shared a lot of Christmas cards in the last couple of weeks. The Last Chance List caught me off guard when it appeared. I really missed the notices to us demonstrators on that. My reason for trying to get all of these made is that I am having my second knee replacement today. The first was back in June. So I may be away for a couple of weeks. Hopefully it will not be that long. But my craft space is in the basement. So it will depend on the new knee.

The card I have to share today is one I really love. It stars one of the snowmen from the Snowman Hugs stamp set. These guys seem so happy and it makes me want some snow. Not really!!! I live in the south and snow here is a mess.

stampin' up!, snowman hugs, sentimental christmas, circle punch, sequins, jackie beers

STAMPS

This scene from Snowman Hugs is just so sweet. I love the set, but this one is my favorite from the set. It is hard to say if the rabbit is giving the snowman a carrot for his nose, or if the snowman is giving the carrot to the rabbit. Either way it is a sweet scene of giving.

The image is stamped using Basic Gray Ink and then colored using Stampin’ Blends. I took liberties with the colors as I wanted them to match the DSP. And I love the sentiment. It is included in the stamp set and is one I have used several times already. Sadly this set is on the Last Chance List as well.

PAPERS

This gorgeous sheet of DSP is once again from the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper. If you have this paper I hope you love it as much as I do. At first I was not sure it would work with my snowman. But I think it did okay. It seems to blend with the happy theme.

The other papers are all pulled from colors of the DSP. I used Shaded Spruce, Real Red and Basic White. There are other colors from the Stampin’ Blends, but if possible they are the same as the paper.

EXTRAS

The snowman scene is fussy cut with my fabulous Stampin’ Up! Paper Snips. For the sentiment layer I used a 1 1/2″ Circle Punch but then cut off one edge to lay flat with the edge of the DSP. The sentiment is then simply fussy cut, or more square cut, to fit on the circle. There are a few of the flat adhesive sequins scattered around as well.

Winter Beauty

The Yuletide Village stamp set is one that I really debated on purchasing. Then I saw the potential for quick and easy cards and was sold. This set is beautiful and can be used in a very detailed card as well.

Stampin' Up!, yuletide village, sentimental christmas, stylish shapes, pearls, jackie beers

STAMPS

The stamp I chose to use from the Yuletide Village set is this small cottage. I thought it would be a sweet little cabin in the woods. With the way the image is layered and the DSP I left off a sentiment for the front of the card. Plus the stamp set does not include any sentiments.

This image is stamped using Basic Gray Ink and then colored using Stampin’ Blends. The snow is Pool Party Ink and Stampin’ Blends. All of the Stampin’ Blends colors are listed in the supply list.

PAPERS

This gorgeous sheet of DSP is from the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper. I believe it is now sold out from the Last Chance List. Sorry to have used something no longer available.. I made a lot of Christmas cards for this last week not realizing the list would come out as early as it did.

The pine limbs and needles of this paper inspired everything else. It completed my vision of a little scene to peer at. So the layer behind the cottage is Pecan Pie and was pulled from the limb. To add to the pop of White, both the focal layer and the little snow flakes in the DSP, I added a thin layer of Basic White between the DSP and the Pretty Peacock card stock.

EXTRAS

The “scene” layers are cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Sadly they are on the Last Chance List as well. These are fabulous Dies to have in your stash. To complete the snow and sparkle, I added a scattering of Pearls around the card for my bling.
