Amazing Phrasing

8/23/2022

0 Comments

 
I can't believe Sale a Bration is almost over!  I love so many of the offerings especially this Amazing Phrasing stamp set. It has so many options. 

Here I paired it with the Dots and Spots die that was added as a Sale a Bration item as well as the fun Host Paper Pack "Celebrate Everything".  
Picture
Have you ever used a punch to create a background?  The Handmade Tag punch works great for this idea! 
Picture
This last card was a fun fold card.  The top flap slips under the kitty cut out.  I stamped the sentiment directly on the Designer Series Paper.

Be sure to get your orders in before the end of the month to earn this great stamp set and more! Use Host Code ​ZEEXCECK.

Hippest Hippos

8/15/2022

0 Comments

 
I always love the animal set that Stampin' Up! offers during Sale a Bration and the hippos are no exception.  They are so cute! I had a lot of fun playing around with just the stamps and with the coordinating dies you can also earn.

​Using a stamp to create a background tone on tone is a go to technique for me.  It's easy and cute! Plus any stamp that I can color with Blends is a fun one. 
Picture
I did a little paper piecing for the tutu on this one. And you know I  never miss a good pun! 
Picture
This card really shows off some of the fun dies that are included.

Wonderful World Bundle

7/21/2022

0 Comments

 
My first thought when I saw the Wonderful World bundle in the Sale a Bration catalog was "I don't need another flower set"...but I still got it.  And, once I started using it I couldn't stop!  Check out all of these ideas.

I know fussy cutting is not for everyone but sometimes it really is worth it! Check out how nicely this flower stands out on the card.  I added a few of the Adhesive Backed Sequins for some bling.   
Picture
This is a design I use over and over! It's an easy one to replicate and it always shows off our gorgeous papers. 
Picture
Here's a slightly different option. 
Picture
I did a little of everything on this one. Fussy cutting, embossed background, multi layers, bling...
​I love how it turned out! 
Picture
For this one I used one of the stamps in the bundle.  This card was one of my make and takes at my Open House last weekend.  
Picture
Another card using the stamp.  It's a quick design that really shows off more of the papers.  
Picture
This group of cards are thank you notes for my customers this month.  Again, same layout as above, but I particularly liked how the flowers could be cut with the punch to look like postage stamps. 
Picture
Don't forget you can earn this bundle for FREE with a $100 order through the end of August.  Current Host Code is KZ9VYDQS.

Monday Montage 218

7/17/2022

Saturday was my Open House for the new July - December mini catalog and the new Sale a Bration items.  I have been playing with a lot of new product to create samples to share.

One of the stamp sets I was drawn to right away was the All Bundled Up set. These little critters are so cute! I love an image that is perfect for coloring with my Blends and this moose did not disappoint.  

The other new product I'm really enjoying is the Host only Designer Series Paper pack Celebrate Everything.  This pack of paper contains 48 sheets and is only available on orders over $150 which qualifies for Host rewards.  Let's talk if you'd like to earn this paper for FREE along with Sale a bration items!

Rainbow of Happiness

12/4/2021

0 Comments

 
Are you ready for a sneak peek of new product coming in January?

​I am having so much fun with the new Rainbow of Happiness bundle. Paired with the Sunshine & Rainbows Sale a Bration Designer Series Paper (which you can earn for free in January) it makes easy and adorable cards.  My favorite kind! 
Picture
Both of these are so simple.  The card on the left is a simple die cut on a piece of the Designer Series Paper (DSP).  Adhere to card front and stamp your sentiment.  Done! 

The second is a CASE from a sample in the Sale a Bration brochure.  I changed it up a little by cutting the DSP to 4 x 5 1/4 and layering on a card stock base. 
Picture
This card showed me I needed to re-ink many of my ink pads!  I still like how it looks but that is not full ink coverage for sure.  I love that our inks can be reinked so you don't have to keep buying new ones.

​It's another easy layout but I like the look of adding velum over DSP to give a muted look. 
Picture
Adding the white 4 x 5 1/4 panel to the black panel gives it a pop against the white card stock base. I did fussy cut the clouds from the DSP because I did not have the new cloud punch yet. 

All of these cards make me happy.  I love rainbows and bright colors! No supply list since the items aren't available for purchase until January but I hope you enjoy the sneak peek.

Shaded Summer and Summer Shadow

9/3/2021

0 Comments

 
I've admitted before that I often manage to overlook items in our catalogs.  The Shaded Summer stamp set is one of those.  I have a lot of flower sets and, as a stand alone stamp set, I passed it by.  When coordinating dies were added to the Sale a Bration offerings I took a new look at it and realized that besides beautiful images, it also had some wonderful sentiments! 

Below are two cards I made using these products.  I share a "This or That" on my social media every week and this week I used these two cards.  The white card won by a lot!  You can check it out on Facebook or Instagram if you want to add your vote! 
Picture
I've found myself reaching for Fresh Freesia more and more lately.  It's currently my go to purple.  
Picture
On both cards I paired Fresh Freesia with Soft Succulent.  I achieved the two color look by using my Stampin'
 Write markers directly on my stamps. 

PS Don't use Blends for this technique! The alcohol based ink dries too quickly and they are likely to stain your stamps.
Picture
Pulling in a few other items completed the cards.  I used the new Timeworn Type Embossing Folder for both background panels.  I also cut both of the background panels to 3 3/4 by 5 instead of my usual 4 x 5 1/4 size.  I liked the look of the extra space. 

You can earn the Summer Shadow dies for FREE with a $100 purchase through the end of the month.  My current Host Code is DFEUZWE2.

Happy stamping!

Penguin Place

8/17/2021

The Penguin Place Suite and coordinating Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper are a current favorite of mine. There are so many ways to use these products to create adorable cards.  
Picture
The penguin can be stamped or punched thanks to the coordinating punch. 

​Above I stamped the cute critter directly on my card stock.  I coordinated with Regals colors to create a fun birthday card. Using the Regals 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper makes an easy background.  It's hard to see in the photo but there's some Wink of Stella on that balloon! 
Picture
For this card I switched to the Designer Series Paper and fussy cut some of the cute critters out.  The paper makes putting together a card so easy! The only stamping on this one is the sentiment.  The rest is all thanks to the adorable paper which is a FREE Sale a Bration item you can earn with a $50 purchase.

My Top Sale a Bration picks!

2/26/2021

Honestly, I like them all!  But, here are a few favorites to share with you.  Remember that Sale a Bration ends this Sunday, February 28th.  You can choose an item with every $50 you order. Click here to order or check out the list at the end of the post. 
Picture
This Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper makes a card all by itself! However, add the In Bloom flowers and it's a gorgeous card. 
Picture
The Corner Bouquet stamp set allows for quick and easy cards.  Use it for tone on tone or ink it up with your Stampin' Write Markers for a beautiful look. 
Picture
Another amazing Designer Series Paper pack.  The Flower and Field can also  make a card by itself.  I love doing a little fussy cutting to get the pretty flowers to play front and center on my card. 
Picture
The Darling Donkeys are too cute to miss! So many fun ways to use them.  Here I colored using Wink of Stella!  Just dip it in a little ink refill and color away.  
Picture
This card is double duty! Both the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper (which is a Level 2 item with the Berry Blessings stamp set) and the Approaching Perfection stamp set are items I've been using over and over.
