Simply Sparking Stamp Set

Happy Wednesday, today I’m featuring a card similar to one Stampin’ Up! showed, but with my spin on it.

The card uses the Simply Sparkling Photopolymer Stamp set. While I’ve used the cherry image on my card, any of the fruit images would work.

SIMPLY SPARKLING PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET (ENGLISH)

I’ve created my own background, using Bubble Bath, Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide ink. Blending brushes make adding the color easy. Once color was applied to the Basic White card stock, the cherry image was stamped using Basic Gray ink. Mat is Basic Gray card stock and card base is Bubble Bath.

Greeting for the card is a combination of the Biggest Wish and More Wishes stamp set. Nested Essentials Die was used, and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls are added for embellishment.

If you would rather not create your own background, the Bright & Beautiful Memories & More Cards and Envelopes would work wonderfully!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by today, hope these projects have inspired you to try paper crafting. When you decide to place an order for Stampin’ Up! products, I would appreciate your business.

Nov23 Christmas Projects

Happy Christmas in November!

Today I have some of my favorite projects for you that can be made with any designer series paper and for any occasion! These make the perfect accessory when giving a gift card! At the bottom of the post is a downloadable project sheet with a few additional photo’s.

First up is my favorite pocket holder. Add a card made with the same paper for a coordinating gift.

Additional pockets with pieces of paper I had left! If you are looking for items to add, some of the persons favorite candy bars, note pads, etc. work well. For Halloween, I made these for some of my favorite trick or treaters!

Who wouldn’t like a notepad holder?  Feel free to decorate the front if desired.

Next is the inside of the notepad holder.

Final project, Cocoa Packet or Treat Holder, both with and without packaging.

Simply Sparkling Bundle

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving; we had a wonderful meal eating by the light of our Christmas decorations!

When the new On-Line Exclusives dropped earlier this month, I fell in love with the Simply Sparkling Bundle which includes the Simply Sparkling Stamp Set and the Simply Sparkling Dies.

There’s something about the sound of a can opening: it’s the sound of refreshment, of bubbles, of sparkling joy! Capture that essence in your paper crafting projects with this coordinated bundle. Stamp then die-cut sparkling beverages in cans you customize to match the fun “flavor” of any greeting you want to send. Bundle includes 21 stamps and 17 dies.
SIMPLY SPARKLING BUNDLE (ENGLISH)

Card Specifics:

  • Blueberry Bushel card stock base – 5½” x 8½”, scored at 3″ and 7¼” on the long side
  • Lemon Lime Twist card stock mat – 2 7/8″ x 5 3/8″
  • Merry Bold & Bright Designer paper – 2¾” x 5 ¼”
  • Can is stamped in Basic Gray ink die, the Holographic Paper used to die cut top/bottom pieces of the card, add with liquid glue or adhesive sheets
Here is the card vertically. The Fizz tastic image is used to close the card.

For the card below I turned it horizontal and used a circle to close the card.

Last Chance Starts Today!

Today the Last Chance Sale starts with Stampin’ Up!

One of the stamp sets retiring is Cheer to the Season. My Sunday Stampers used the stamp set this month to make a Christmas card. I’m using the set today for an anniversary and birthday card.

This is a Distinktive stamp set; it has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images.

CHEERS TO THE SEASON CLING STAMP SET (ENGLISH)

For my first card, Pebbled Path and Lost Lagoon are the colors of choice. Sketched Plaid stamp provides the backdrop for the card. Tartan Foil Specialty Paper and the Countryside Corner Dies help make this card. Greeting is from Ringed with Nature Photopolymer Stamp set, stamped in Lost Lagoon ink to match the Tartan paper.

Next, for the birthday card, I’ve teamed the image up with a Scalloped Contour Die and greeting from the Very Best Occasion stamp set.

Finally, to finish the cards, add your embellishments of choice!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by today, hope these projects have inspired you to try paper crafting. When you decide to place an order for Stampin’ Up! products, I would appreciate your business.

November Sunday Stampers

Hello there, hope you are having a good weekend, I sure am!

Today my Sunday Stampers will be gathering and here are the cards they will be making.

First, I’m featuring the Cheers to the Season stamp set, along with the More Dazzle Specialty Paper along with some designer paper.  The boughs are from the Cheerful Daisy Dies in Early Espresso card stock.

For the inside, another Deckled Circle Die is used, along with a greeting from the Very Best Occasions stamp set.

Next up is a card featuring the Light the Sky Bundle.  Don’t forget to add some fireworks to the inside of the card. I thought Starry Sky ink was perfect for the card.

Finally, using the new Meandering Meadow Designer Paper and the Garden Meadows Bundle. Each person will pick the embossing folder they would like to use to emboss the outside later.

Finally, the arch die cut will be used for the inside of the card along with the last piece of designer paper.

Autumn One Sheet Wonder

Happy Sunday, hopefully you remembered to change your clocks back an hour, we did.

Today I’m sharing a Stamped One Sheet Wonder Card with you.  The card starts with a piece of Very Vanilla card stock that is stamped with images from the Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set.

The ser is also a Distinktive stamp set; it has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images.

Images are stamped down the center and across the center of the whole sheet of paper. Once happy with the look, cut down to the desired size, mat, add to card base, add sentiment and embellishments.

Card basics:

  • Thick Very Vanilla card base

Glimmer Paper Sneak Peek

Hard to believe it’s November 1st!  Remember, if you’re in a time zone or location that “falls back” one hour, this coming weekend is it! Don’t know about you, but I would rather have the hour of daylight in the evening vs. morning.

Today’s card features the Light the Sky stamp set, part of the Light the Sky Bundle along with a sneak peek of the new Three-Color Glimmer Specialty Paper. This paper, item 162813, available November 7th as part of a new group of Online Exclusives. Colors include Highland Heather, Petal Pink and Pretty Peacock.

Colors in the card include:

  • Pretty Peacock
  • Lost Lagoon
  • Moody Mauve

To adhere the stamped Basic White card stock to the Glimmer Paper, I used Tear and Tape, I like a strong adhesive when working with Glimmer Paper, Seal Plus would work well also. Greeting layer was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finally, here is what the bundle looks like, not only does it have a New Years greeting but it’s perfect for any celebration!
