A Little Simple Stamping

Before I get to the project for today, I wanted to give you a heads up.  I am going to be on vacation for the next two weeks.  Some friends and I are going on another Riverboat Cruise.  I had hoped to have some cards made ahead of time, but as usual my plan did not go exactly as intended.  The hubby and cats will be here to hold down the fort, but none of them will make cards to share with you unfortunately.  I hope you are a follower of my Facebook page, BlueLineStamping.  I will post some pictures on there while I am traveling.  If you subscribe to my blog, then you will receive my email post when I am back.  I should be posting again on August 12.

I have a One Stamp Set Card with just stamping to share with you today.  You know I love one stamp set cards, and this one is super quick and easy.

 

I paired the beautiful Woven Heirloom stamp set with Pretty Peacock and Rococo Rose, and a stamped off Sahara Sand.  I added the Faceted Dots from the 2019-2021 In Colors for a touch of texture.  And that is a super easy card.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I have listed to products I used at the bottom of the post.  I hope you will mark your calendar  and return in two weeks.  Or better yet, go to the subscribe button on the right side of the tool bar and enter your email address.  That way you will get the email letting you see my posts first thing.

A Glittery Happy

Today’s card is a quick card with hardly any stamping.  It is a simple and cute card with minimal everything.

 

 

The only stamping is the Birthday Wishes, which is from the Varied Vases stamp set.  The “Happy” is from the Merry Christmas Framelits.  A bit of a surprise there and I love it.  It is wonderful to use Christmas stamps / products at other times of the year.

The Happy is die cut using the Rose Glimmer Paper and the Happy Die.  The sentiment is stamped and punched with the Classic Label Punch.  The background for the sentiment is also from the Merry Christmas Framelits.  I was thrilled that it seems to fit perfectly together.  I added two of the In Color Faceted Dots just to ground it.

The designer series paper is the Woven Threads DSP.  It is gorgeous down to the very last sheet.  I love the colors and the designs.  That is the main reason I left the card so plain, or less stamped.  The ribbon is the Rococo Rose Scalloped Linen Ribbon.  There are a few of these in the new In Colors, and they are all just as gorgeous as this one.

Thank you for stopping in today.  Please come back tomorrow for another new project.

Country Sunshine for InKing Royalty Blog Hop

 

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s July Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around SUNSHINE. The Sun is the single most important source of energy for life on Earth – it guides our clocks, calendars and planting schedules. We may be enduring a heat wave this week, but we still associate the Sun with positivity, joy and renewal. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

Looking through my stamps for a “sunshine” idea was a bit difficult.  I realized there is only one or two possible “sun” shapes and almost no sentiments.  How can that be???  But I finally found the sentiment that spoke to me and made a card to match the sentiment.  I understand that is a bit of an odd way of going about things, so I hope you like my final product.

 

 

When I made my card, I had not seen the opening paragraph that Brian wrote for this hop.  It seems to go right along with the sentiment I chose.  WooHoo!!!

I love the Country Road stamp set and was very happy that it was a carryover to the new catalog.  The pieces in it are perfect for a collage type card.  And the grass/weeds are wonderful in the background.  They are even slightly slanted for that “wind at your back” theme in the sentiment.

I sponged the background of the card using the Stampin’ Sponges and soft colors.  The sun is pretty bright made using Pineapple Punch.  The sky is Seaside Spray and the grass background is Pear Pizzaz.    I did not want the grass to be overly dark so the grass/weeds in Crumb Cake would show more.

The sentiment is also from the Country Road stamp set.  The layered sentiment section is from the Frosted Bouquet Framelits. Both pieces are included.  I added four of the Metallic Pearls for some rustic look to my sign.  The Braided Linen Thread seemed the perfect finishing touch.

Hello There

This card is one I made to finish off the Royal Challenge I have mentioned previously.  It was a Welcome Home for Brian King, my SU Upline,  from the SU Incentive trip.  I did not find a Welcome that I loved , so I went with Hello There!

 

What better stamp set to use for someone as “crafty” as Brian, than the It Starts With Art set.  I used the gorgeous Designer Series Paper from the suite of products as my bright background.  My sign is from the stamp set I Say Hello.  It is a really cute set that I believe is somewhat of a sleeper set.

I hung the sign using one of the Mini Library Clips.  the sequins scattered around were just enough bling to give some extra to the card.  I love not always laying everything out evenly, so this haphazard layout is a nice change.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you will return tomorrow for the InKing Royalty Blog Hop!

Donut Birthday

One of my most favorite foods is Donuts.  Krispy Kreme Glazed Donuts especially! So of course when I saw the stamp set Birthday Goodness I knew I had to have it.  Who would not like a donut birthday card?

 

I did not do my normal “bling” for added on the card.  I liked the donuts and the bit of DSP to do the shine.

I stamped the donuts in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with the Stampin’ Blends.  I added the strip of Designer Series Paper from the 2019-2021 In Color DSP.  The top layer is raised just for a bit of definition.

I hope you liked the donuts and will give this stamp set a look.  It is becoming one of my favorites.

A Little Rain

I was so happy when Fable Friends carried over to the new Annual Catalog.  It reminds me of the childrens fairy tales of my youth.  Another of our Facebook challenges last week was simple an Animal.  I debated for just a minute and then went with the Goose from Fable Friends.

 

 

I paired a couple of stamp sets to make this card.  I love that the Goose is wearing a raincoat, so that was my starting point.  I wanted to give her a bright and cheery coat to wear in the rain.

I paired High Tide to get the puddled water and the grass.  The rain came from Birthday Backgrounds, and the sentiment from Love What You Do.

I used the Stitched Rectangle Framelits for the sign.  This is the trick again of cutting it out with the die leaving the excess length towards one end.   Then re-inserting it to the point you need for the proper length.  The stitching makes this so easy to do, as you simply press the stitches back onto the die.  That way you know it is lined up properly.

Enjoy Life

I have really enjoyed playing with the stamp set Enjoy Life.  The sentiments are spot on and the images are great for encouragement and sports.  We can all use those, or at least I can.  I must have subconsciously been thinking of The Tour De France when I made this card. LOL!!

 

Actually, this was for one of the challenges while Brian King was away on our Facebook group.  It was titled Transportation.  But it does totally fit the Tour De France.

The Swirl & Curls Embossing Folder seems to be a perfect match for the bicycle.  Like the wind and he is speeding along!  The color pairing is a bit different.  I just played around and came up with Merry Merlot and Pool Party.  I never would have thought to pair these two.  I like to peruse my ink pads and look across them for different combinations.

Go For It

I am not sure why masculine cards are , or at least seem to be, hard to make.   What if masculine cards are our everyday cards just in a different color?  I believe the project I have for you today is one of those cards. It does not scream masculine, but the colors I chose lean that direction.

 

 

This is a really quick card to make.  The longest time part is the embossed basket weave.  And now after my opening paragraph, I can see this done in lighter colors and perfect for anyone.

I am not sure why I got on the masculine talking point.  Maybe because this card was intended for a male???  Who knows with me.  But I hope I have given you food for thought.

Thank you for stopping by today!  I really appreciate it and hope you will return tomorrow for another new project.

Magnolia Enjoy Today

I know there are a lot of Magnolia cards being shared.  I believe it is because the suite of products is just so darn beautiful!!  So I am sharing another one.  This is a pretty simple card in that there is not a lot to it.  I love the “clean” look of this one.

 

The gorgeous DSP is the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper.  It is the reverse (you know how much I love to use the reverse sides!) of the black background with the small flower above on it.  I layered it on a Whisper White piece to hopefully not have it blend into the base card.

The flower is stamped with Early Espresso Ink.  If you give it just a minute, then it does not bleed when you color it with the Stampin’ Blends.   I love using other than black for my outline a lot of times.  I have yet to have one bleed when the blends are used with it.  I colored the edges of the petals with the Light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend.  The leaves and stem are done using Light Mossy Meadow and Light Crumb Cake.

The sentiment is from the Good Morning Magnolia set as well.  Another plus in the column for this set is the sentiments. It is stamped in Mossy Meadow on Petal Pink card stock.  I punched it out using the Tailored Tag Punch for a bit of a different shape.

Both the flower and sentiment are raised with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  For just a touch of extra, I added a couple of the Gingham Gala Adhesive Back Sequins.  These are great for just a bit of extra texture but they don’t jump out at you!

Thank you for visiting today!  I hope you will come back tomorrow for another new project.  I have all of the supplies used at the bottom of the post.

Botanical CASE Catalog

Today is another of the Royal Challenge cards I made last week.  This one is a CASE of the catalog.  I chose to use the catalog card as the idea, but used everything different than they used.  A CASE can be just the idea, layout, or a pretty much copy.  I love that we SHARE EVERYTHING!

 

This is a CASE from page 41 of the Annual Catalog.  When I saw the DSP behind the cut out, I realized I had done a similar one recently.  But I love the look and I just happened to be playing with the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper.  I knew I had to use it.  This gorgeous paper is simply above and beyond all the other beautiful paper Stampin’ Up! carries.

For my card, I used the Stitched Rectangle Framelit Dies and cut out Daffodil Delight.  I then stamped on the “frame” with Daffodil Delight Ink and a stamp from Botanical Bliss stamp set.  I also die cut the Garden Green stems using the Botanical Tags Dies.  The sentiment and flower is from Botanical Bliss as well.  It is stamped and then punched with the Darling Label punch.  I love this almost square punch.  It is the only one that is not more oval shaped!

Thank you so much for visiting today.  I will have another new project to share with you tomorrow.
