Stampin’ Up! Stampers Dozen Blog Hop July Edition is Tomorrow!

Stampin’ Up! Stampers Dozen Blog Hop July Edition is Tomorrow!

Hey there!  Today I have a refresh of a card I featured earlier this year using the collage technique. You can view the original one HERE.

The En Francais background stamp used on the original retired, so when my hostess for this past Saturday asked to make this card I had to think a bit to find a replacement.

I believe I found perfection with Postage Due, stamped in Sahara Sand for the first layer of the collage stamping technique.

After stamping the Postage Due, we followed with the tree from Thoughts & Prayers stamped in Always Artichoke, and blossoms from Flower Shop and Petitie Petals in Rich Razzleberry. We softly sponged color on the images with a soft, swirling motion instead of pouncing or dragging the sponge.

The greeting is from And Many More with a stamped-off Always Artichoke tree behind it, then punched with the Large Oval Punch.

We used the new Venetian Crochet Trim behind the Rich Razzleberry Scalloped Oval, then finished off with a Papillon Potpourri butterfly punched with the Elegant Butterfly punch.

Inside we collage-stamped just like the outside, then added a sentiment from A Lovely Romance with Always Artichoke ink.

That's all for now! The Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop begins at midnight EDT, so all of our creations will be here in the morning!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Flowers #1!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Flowers #1!

Good morning! Today is an exciting day for me! I get to go shopping ALL DAY with ALL of my daughters and my oldest granddaughter! I can't wait!

In addition to shopping, my youngest daughter, Alisa, (who is expecting my 6th grandchild, a boy! in July) will be starting her baby registry! I love it!

Since I have a few minutes before we leave, thought I would show you another of the cards we will be making tomorrow and Saturday at my "Best Of" Class!

I received a card with this general layout from Kathy Alt at last Saturday's Stampin' Up! St. Louis Regional, so I changed out the colors and designer paper, changed the greeting, added a technique and a Rhinestone, to make it my own!

Using the Best of Flowers stamp set, of course, I inked the miniature "Upsy Daisies" (Did you know that the re-issued stamps from the past are minatures of the originals? They are, which makes them perfect as an addition to the originals!) first in Wisteria Wonder ink, and then sponged on some Rich Razzleberry before stamping all together on the Whisper White!

I did the same inking technique on the "Oh Hello" stamp from the Oh Hello Stamp set. What do you think? After using this technique on the Tea Shoppe card HERE, I am having fun coming up with new ink color combos. Some colors don't look well together, and some, such as Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant, really look almost the same when used together, so some experimentation is fun!

It probably doesn't look like it in this photo, but the chevron oval is actually stamped in Basic Gray!

Here's my Wisteria Wonder-inked stamp being sponged with Rich Razzleberry ink!

Here's a quick tutorial to make the Oval Punch Faux Bow:

Fold each punched oval gently and attach ends together with Glue Dots.

To finish off center of bow, add a small strip of designer paper, a button, or a punched out shape with a Glue Dot.

That's all I have time for today! See you tomorrow for another Stampingrox! day!

Although not a demonstrator, my youngest daughter, Alisa, is a talented artist in her own right. She can draw, paint, sew, weld, and now of course, stamp! She is my helper sometimes when I have alot of swaps to make or packets to prepare for a class, and a few days ago when she asked to be able to go through my stash to make some valentines for her sweet hubby, Cody,of course I gave my consent! I had given her the task of sorting my Glimmer Brads, and she had commented that I sure had ignored the Rich Razzleberry, Perfect Plum ones, so when she designed these that day I wasn't at all surprised she went with that color scheme! She also designed a couple more a few days later that I didn't get a photo of, but these two I had her sign for me to take a picture! (Note: a few of the items she used were from my retired stash and one stamp, the flourish in the background of the first card, is from an upcoming New Catalog set, "Everything Eleanor",so not all items are currently available for purchase, but you can check with me if you need to know what is available!)

BTW, "Sweed" is our family name for Alisa, bestowed upon her by her  older brother, Troy, many years ago, and with the exception of her Daddy, who named her Alisa, the name stuck for the rest of us! When she and Cody were married 2 1/2 years ago, she even had our Son-in-law, Johnny (Jessica's husband) use "Sweed" as her marrying name! (Don't worry, he checked, and as long as her legal name was on the marriage certificate it is a valid marriage!)

My sweet hubby took me out for supper last night, so yes, I had a good Valentines' Day! Most of my day was spent at Quilt Class with Sweed, and I also got to spend some time with Jessica and baby Jaxon, so I was able to spend the day with several, but not all, of my most-beloved peeps!

Sale-a-bration continues, and I will be back tomorrow with new ideas!

If you need anything, please don't hesitate to contact me!

 

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!
