Stampin’ Up! Flower Patch for the 4th!

Stampin’ Up! Flower Patch for the 4th!

Hey there! Happy 4th of July! I'm having one of the most hectic (and fun!) summers in a long time, which isn't leaving much time for blogging. I actually got up at 5:30 a.m. just  to post this, and if you know me at all you know I DON'T DO EARLY very well! LOTS going on at my house, all good, which means this summer is whizzing by, and by looking at my calendar, I don't think it's going to slow down.I leave for the Stampin' Up! Inspire, Create, Share Convention in less than two weeks, then a quick family vacation to French Lick, Indiana, then keeping my grandson, Jaxon, for a few days. Add in Punch & Technique Class, Christmas in July Classes, a handful of hostess stamping parties and July is completely BOOKED!

I created this card a few weeks ago using my new Flower Patch stamp set:

Stampin_up_flower_patch_1 - Copy

I was going for a fireworks-Fourth-of-July effect. What do you think?

The "celebration" image is from the Project Life Remember This set.

Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, and Real Red inks stamped on Whisper White.

Stampin_up_flower_patch_2 - Copy

After stamping and assembling I added a thin layer of clear Dazzling Details. It takes several minutes for this sparkly glue to dry so leave it laying flat.

Stampin_up_flower_patch_3 - Copy

Inside is a sentiment from the Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit inked with Stampin' Write Markers.

That's all for now. Low-key plans today. I will be stamping and my hubby will be farming, but we are continually thankful for our freedoms to decide how to spend our days!

Here's a supply list for my Online Store:

Stampin’Up! Winter Serene Silhouettes!

Stampin’Up! Winter Serene Silhouettes!

Hey there! Today I have a card to show you I CASED and adapted from Penny Thomas and Patty Bennett. I needed a more "winter" themed card for a workshop I'm doing tomorrow. I will bring a "thinking of you" and a "happy birthday" stamp to the party so this can be adapted from the Christmas theme it has right now:

Stampin_up_serene_silhouettes_greetings_of_the_season_1

Super-duper easy to make! Here's why:

  • It's all one color of cardstock – Crumb Cake! The base is left plain, the next layer(4" x 5 1/4") is Square Lattice embossed and sponged with Crumb Cake ink. The next layer (3" x 4") is left plain, then the final layer (2 3/4" x 3 3/4") is stamped with Early Espresso and sponged with Crumb Cake!
  • The Crumb Cake card base is from a package of Cut & Ready Card Bases. A package of 20 card-ready, cut-to-size (8 1/2" x 5 1/2"), scored (at 4 1/4") for $4.95! A great value when you need to make a card quick or alot of cards at once!
  • Only two colors of ink – Crumb Cake and Early Espresso
  • Only two stamp sets – Serene Silhouettes & Greetings of the Season
  • Only three embellishments – Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folder, Stampin' Sponge, and Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details!

Stampin_up_serene_silhouettes_greetings_of_the_season_2

After you put the Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details on the little birds there is a bit of drying time for the glue before you can mail it, but it's really not that long if you don't put the details on too thick!

Stampin’ Up! Special Magical Season!

Stampin’ Up! Special Magical Season!

Hey there! I'm working on my Christmas Card Class and SWOW Class scheduled for this Friday, so I've some new things to show you the next few days. Today's card features the Holiday Catalog set, Special Season, along with the Magical Season single stamp:

Magical season 1
I stamped the tree from Special Season with Whisper White Craft ink on the Crumb Cake layer. I then squirted out a pile of Clear Dazzling Details on a scrap of cardstock and then applied a thin layer over the stamped tree. The thinner you spread it the quicker it dries! I adhered a piece of Season of Style Designer Paper to the bottom of the layer, then attached two pieces of Cherry Cobbler 1" Stitched Edge Grosgrain Ribbon to the back of the layer and tied in an pretty knot. I stamped the Magical Season stamp with Jet Black StazOn.

Here's a close up of the pretty glimmer of the Dazzling Details:

Magical season 2

Inside I stamped the "Christmas Greetings" from Special Season with Jet Black StazOn, then repeated the tree stamping with the White Craft ink. I also repeated a little strip of the Season of Style paper at the bottom.

Magical season 3

That's all for now! Thanks so much for coming by to see me today! Come back tomorrow to see what else I've been up to!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Birthdays Card #2!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Birthdays Card #2!

Today we have the second card in the "Best of Birthdays" series, an olde-but-goodie birthday candle card!

Celebrate 1©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

The white-embossed "CELEBRATE!" is the Best of Birthdays stamp used. Summer Smooches is the Designer Paper used and the candle flames are punched with the Blossom Petals Builder Punch. I dry embossed the Pacific Point background layer with the Houndstooth Textured Impressions Folder and the Big Shot. After the card was all finished I added a very thin layer of Clear Dazzling Details to the flames and let the card lay flat to dry for several minutes. I like the way the Dazzling Details made the flames curl and gave it a little more dimension!

Here's the inside:

Celebrate 2
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I used Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, and Real Red Stampin' Write Markers on this second image from "Best of Birthdays" before stamping.

Here's the class handout for this card:


Download A Candle for Every Year

The February installment of the "Best of . . " Series will be announced today! I can't wait to see and order it! I am offering a class every month using that month's set. Attendees get a $5 discount off the class fee when they order any of the "Best of. ." sets at the class.

On a family note: today we are off to take Ben, our youngest son, to the Oral Surgeon for a consult to remove two EXTRA teeth! We've known for a few years he had an extra top left and extra lower right tooth, but we were just leaving them be unless they created a problem. You guessed it! There is now a problem as the top one had started to come through in the roof of his mouth! A panoramic x-ray revealed the lower one is also "on the move", so we go today for the consult, then in two weeks he is scheduled to have both teeth removed. We will be glad to have this behind us!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Hope your day "Stampingrox"!

Stampin’ Up! Summer Smooches Cupcake!

Stampin’ Up! Summer Smooches Cupcake!

Sorry for the late posting, but yesterday was a slow day for me, so unfortunately I didn't stamp a thing! I started a new workout program with Jessica and her trainer, Holly, about a month ago, and everything goes along just fine until there is a gap in the schedule, and Spring Break last week was a definite gap! Yesterday's workout just wore me out! I spent a good part of the rest of the day finishing up the "Hunger Games" second book, "Catching Fire", so I guess I did accomplish something!

That said, here's a card I created today for a few of my workshops this month using the new "Summer Smooches" Designer Paper and the "Create a Cupcake" stamp set!

Summer smooches cupcake 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

The colors in the Summer Smooches Designer Paper are: Tempting Turquoise, Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight, Real Red, and Rich Razzleberry, so I pulled my color palette from this DSP strip! A little out of my comfort zone as I usually go for a couple of colors maximum plus one neutral, but this really works for me! The background of this main DSP strip is acutally an opaque version of Tempting Turquoise!

Here's a close-up of the cupcake after assembly. I added some Dazzling Details in dots and swirls around the stamped cupcake sprinkles because when you apply the Dazzling Details on top of Classic ink it sometimes makes the ink a little blurry:

Summer smooches cupcake 2

If this layout looks familiar, it is very similar to another Create a Cupcake card I showed you a few weeks ago using the "Everyday Enchantment" Designer Paper! Here's the inside of the card:

Summer smooches cupcake 4
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

That's all for today! I have to get ready to go pick up my three oldest grandchildren and take them to their gymnastics practice! I haven't been to their practice in quite awhile, and Cohen just started, so it will be fun to watch them! Just one of the perks of being a Stampin' Up! Demo, I can take time to do these things with my family!

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!

Holiday Mini Swap Card!

Holiday Mini Swap Card!

As you probably already know, I participate in a monthly swap with 20 other super demonstrators. Each month has a theme and this month was the Holiday Mini!

For the next few days I will be showing you one of this month's swaps. I'll start out with mine, done with the fun new Holiday Mini Hostess Set, "Warmest of Wishes"! The really cool thing about this set is that I didn't have to wait until September to get it, Stampin' Up! GAVE IT everyone who came to Convention this year!

Warmest of wishes 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2011

I know, pretty cute, huh! I LOVE t when they give us stamps that coordinate with a punch, in this case the OWL Builder Punch! The "candy candy candy candy" is from "Spooky Bingo Bits", a cute new set on page 25 of the main catalog. I was able to get it FREE from my participation as a demonstrator during Sale-a-bration earlier this year! "Warmest of Wishes" can be yours just by hosting a $150 or more workshop in your home, church, or community building. You can purchase it for only $10 of your Hostess Dollars for the Clear-mount or $13 for Wood-mount.

The 'bling" on the Textured Impression Spider Web is a NEW product from pg 41 of the Holiday Mini, Dazzling Details! Basically it's glitter glue with an ultra-fine tip perfect for adding just a little bit of bling right where you want it!

See you tomorrow, so until then, have a "stampingrox!" day!
