Stampin’Up! More Easy Hoppity Baskets!

Stampin’Up! More Easy Hoppity Baskets!

Hey there! Hope you've had a good day. We had another reminder today that winter is not entirely gone with rounds of sleet, rain, and a threat of snow! Fortunately, the snow did not materialize, but it was pretty yucky here most of the day. A big change from Saturday when it was in the low 70's!

I hope you've enjoyed the Stamper's Dozen March Hoppity Hop Hop! If you missed it you can go back to THIS POST and hop through all 13 blogs to see what our group created for you!

Of course, you know I couldn't just make one itty-bitty basket and leave it at that! Here's a couple of sets of baskets I made for my hostess gifts for the rest of March.

The first set I inked the tulips from the Backyard Basics set with Melon Mambo and Wisteria Wonder Stampin' Write Markers and cut them out with the Backyard Basics Framelits before adding them to the baskets with Glue Dots. I also edged each basket with "grass" cut with the Fringe Scissors and butterflies from the Beautiful Wings Embosslit.

I've already given a couple of these baskets away. I went a little overboard with my punches for these baskets. I used the Boho Blossoms Punch and the 1/2" Circle for the sunflowers, and the Real Red and Primrose Petals flowers. I used the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack four-petal flower punch for the Rich Razzleberry flowers and scalloped-circle flower punch from the same pack for the centers of the Real Red flowers. All of the leafy stems are punched with the Bird Builder Punch.

Rhinestones and some Textured Impressions embossing finished it them all off nicely!

So what do you think of these little babies? Would you like one of your own? Every hostess from now on will receive a little hand-made project from me at their party!

In case you missed the tutorial, here's just the basket portion of my Hoppity Hop Hop handout:

That's all for now! I have a couple of new cards in the works, both using a new fold I call "Reverse Easel". Be sure to come back tomorrow to see the first one!

Stampin’ Up! Simple Stems!

Stampin’ Up! Simple Stems!

Hey there! Things have been pretty hectic around here the past few days, so much so that I finally sat down tonight and stamped something new:

Stampin_up_simple_stems_1 - Copy

I love the Simple Stems set in the Occasions Catalog, and this flower that I stamped with Melon Mambo ink in particular. Isn't it just gorgeous?

My color palette is Basic Black, Wild Wasabi, Very Vanilla, and Melon Mambo, very fresh, lush, and spring-y!

Stampin_up_simple_stems_2 - Copy

I used sentiments from Blessings from Heaven inside and out.

Stampin_up_simple_stems_3 - Copy

I stamped and fussy-cut my favorite blossom with Melon Mambo on Very Vanilla. I added the tiniest pearls to the center of the bloom and randomly in the greeting.

Stampin_up_simple_stems_4 - Copy

I stamped the blossom on a piece of scrap paper, then cut it out with my Paper Snips to create a mask to cover the bottom row of stamped blossoms before stamping the second row. I put a bit of 2-way glue on the back of my mask, then let it air-dry to Post-it-Note consistency so I could cover, stamp, then remove the mask so it wouldn't harm my creation.

That's all for now. It's really late (1 a.m), so if I want to have any brains for my stamping tomorrow I had better get to bed!

Stampin’Up! Another Scalloped Tag Topper Punch Card!

Stampin’Up! Another Scalloped Tag Topper Punch Card!

Hey there. Had a busy day today, but most of it was non-stamping related, so I will just cut right to it and show you my card:

Stampin_up_hardwood_chevron_lattice_1

Another Scalloped Tag Topper card closure, this time using the Hardwood Background stamp and a greeting from Petite Pairs, punched with the Ticket Duo Punch! You can see the lattice much better on this card than the one yesterday because I used one of the flower punches from the Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack!

Stamin_up_hardwooe_chevron_lattice_2

Inside I recycled the Crumb Cake ink on the Hardwood stamp by breathing on it to remoisten the ink and then lightly pressing the Very Vanilla layer on it to just get a faint image. Stamped inside is the companion phrase from Petite Pairs.

I am really lovin' coordinating my envelopes with the Envelope Liner Framelit Dies! It just give it all such an elegant look!
