Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Chalk Talk!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Chalk Talk!

Good morning! It's Sunday again, which means it's Sunday Swap Day! Today I have some convention swaps using the fun new set, Chalk Talk!

Denise Sullivan combined this set with Crisp Cantaloupe Core'dinations cardstock and Birthday Basics Designer Paper. The Core'dinations paper already has a texture to it which Denise emphasized by sanding it lightly.

Brenda Meyers used Crushed Curry for her card base with lightly sanded Coastal Cabana Core'dinations paper which she had cranked through the Big Shot in the Beautifully Baroque Textured Impressions Folder. The Eastern Elegance Designer Paper strip at the bottom matches perfectly with the embossed design and the Chalk Talk stamps used. Brenda used Coastal Cabana 3/8" Ruffled Stretch Ribbon and Basic Jewel Pearls to finish off her design!

Jessica Lewis created this card with a decidedly Halloween feel, even though it says nothing scary! I think it is her color combo of Basic Black, Smoky Slate, and Tangerine Tango that gives me that impression. She embossed Vellum, stamped En Francais on the Basic Black oval with White Craft ink, and stamped the Chalk Talk flourish on Vellum with Black StazOn ink before cutting it out with the matching Chalk Talk Framelit. The "You Make Me Smile" from A Round Array has been heat embossed with Tangerine Tango and punched with the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch.

That's all for now. It's dark and rainy-looking here today. I've got to get ready to help in the nursery at church this morning. That is sure to brighten my day!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Birthday Basics Balloons!

Stampin’ Up! Birthday Basics Balloons!

Hello there! Late posting today. I'm at Jessica's house getting ready to take Ava, Cohen, and Jaxon back to my house for the day. Jessica has photo sessions all day, so I am taking them to my house to play with Liam! (Liam is at my house with Logan, Ben, & PaPa right now)

Today's card is another from my SWOW class this Saturday. As you know, I LOVE punch art, so when I found this punch art balloon several places on the net, I just had to design a card using them!

Balloons 1

I heat embossed the "Happy Birthday" from You're Amazing with white powder, then dry embossed the Bermuda Bay layer with the Perfect Polka Dots folder and the Big Shot.

The balloons were created with an Medium Oval punched piece of cardstock with one of the feet from the Owl Builder punch attached to the bottom! Pretty neat!

Island Indigo Baker's Twine was attached to the back of each balloon with a Glue Dot. After attaching the balloons to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals, I gathered the twine together and attached them to the card front with another dimensional. I then hid all the mess with a strip of Birthday Basics Designer Paper, which is where I found the color palette for this card!

Balloons 2

Inside I stamped one of the phrases from the new Remembering Your Birthday, omitting the words I needed to with Stampin' Write Markers and positioning the {YOU!} where I wanted it with my Stamp-a-ma-jig.

Balloons 3
I sponged each of the Raspberry Ripple, Summer Starfruit, and Soft Sky
balloons with the corresponding ink color, sponging more ink onto the
left side of each balloon to give it some depth, then used the new Chalk Marker from the Holiday Catalog on the right side to give the look of light and reflection!

That's all for now! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Sketched Birthday Again!

Stampin’Up! Sketched Birthday Again!

Good morning! It's Tuesday, which means Oakley will be ONE WEEK OLD TODAY! It's been an amazing week! We are so thankful he is here, is healthy, and is doing well (and so is his Mommy)!

Today's swap card was created by Meg Wheeler. Meg used a Raspberry Ripple cardbase with layers of Birthday Basics Designer Paper and Bermuda Bay from the Brights Color Collection Designer Series Paper Stack. A bit of Coastal Cabana 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Ribbon add a festive touch behind the paper-pieced "Happy Birthday Cupcake" scalloped medallion.

Sketched birthday 1

Inside is the really fun part! The Big Shot Typeset Alphabet Bigz-cut "HAPPY" is attached to strips of acrylic Window Sheet inserted into the fold of the  card so it pops up!

Sketched birthday 2
Meg used My Digital Studio to create the extra-large "Birthday" sentiment, then stamped the candle from Cycle Celebration.

That's all for now! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
