  • Faux Watercolor Writing Made Easy with the Stamparatus {Blog Hop)

    Faux Watercolor Writing Made Easy with the Stamparatus {Blog Hop)

    2018 Holiday Catalog Cover

    Woo hoo!

    It is the first day of the new Stampin’ Up Holiday Catalog and I’m here with a few of my team members to share with you some really cute ideas from the new catalog.

    I mean, gotta kick it off right with some inspiration for you!

    Don’t forget! If you earned Bonus Days certificates in August, you are now able to use them!  You have until the end of September to use your certificates.  You can use them on any order and as many as you want in the order! So, if you see something you love from the ideas we share, take advantage of those $5 credits to get a deal on them in September!

    Fun n Crafty Blog Hop Badge

    Ok, now back to today’s project.  One of the things I love doing with my group is swapping when a new catalog is being released.  Many of us preorder some of the new product and then create cards to swap with each other so we have more ideas and samples to share.  So, my project I’m posting today is the card I created for our swap.  I know this is the “holiday” catalog and so there are lots of great Christmas, Halloween, and Thanksgiving/fall sets.  But I spotted this Mean So Much stamp set and love how it is unique and perfect for any time of year.

    Mean So Much Faux Watercolor Lettering

    Mean So Much Bright Color with Woodgrain Card

    One of the things I love about this stamp set is how neat the sentiment looks with all the different colors of ink.  I’ve seen this type of coloring – Watercolor Lettering – before and it often takes inking a stamp partially, cleaning it off, inking it up in a different area stamping again, rinse and repeat.  Or you can brush the lettering with an aqua painter and then tap in liquid ink.  However,  this stamp set breaks it up for you and makes it much easier!

    Here is what the stamp set looks like:

    Mean So Much Stamp Images

    You see those strange faded partial letters?  Well, they actually layer surprisingly easily to create this sentiment!  So you end up with Faux Watercolor Lettering!

    Mean So Much faux watercolor sentiment close up

    Tips for getting the letters to line up
    1. Use the Stamparatus!  With the Stamparatus, you can place all 4 images on the 2 clear plates included with it and this allows you to place each stamp and try it out on scrap paper so you can make sure you like your alignment before stamping your final project.  Because once you like it, you know the stamps are always going to stamp in that same spot.
    2. Start with stamping the last part of the sentiment first (“uch to me”).  If you stamp the last part first, it will leave a large enough image on your paper, that you can easily see where you need to position the next part of the sentiment (“u mean so uc”).
    3. Work your way from right to left on stamping the sentiment. Stamp the first image, and then set the next stamp over your first image.  Since these are photopolymer stamps, you can see through to know exactly where to line up your image.
    4. Play with color combinations. I spent a while trying out different color sets until I found the combination I liked best for this card. Start by looking at patterned papers or embellishments to see which colors go together well and then branch out into what calls to you.
      For this card I used the following colors:

      Highland Heather

      Coastal Cabana

      Granny Apple Green

      Pineapple Punch

    Add Other Fun Accents like WoodGrain Textures paper, sequins, and ribbon!

    So, once I had the sentiment how I liked it, I pulled together the rest of the card.  I cut out the heart from the same stamp set and added one of the small stars from the Twinkle Adhesive Backed Sequins.  And because one star or sequin is never enough, I added more to the upper left corner as well!

    Mean So Much woodgrain and star sequins card

    Finally, for the bottom, I used scrap strips of the Woodgrain Textures designer paper and layered a bit of the Powder Pink Mini Ruffled Ribbon underneath so a hint peeked out.

    So I hope you enjoyed the idea I shared with you today.  Remember, just because it is in a holiday catalog doesn’t mean it isn’t useful all year round!  Now, I invite you to check out even more fun ideas from more of the Fun n’ Crafty Stampers:

  • Oh My Sponge Roller! And Other Cool Cards (Blog Hop)

    Oh My Sponge Roller! And Other Cool Cards (Blog Hop)

    Fun n Crafty Blog Hop BadgeI’m super excited to share with you a beautiful yet easy card to create thanks to the new Sponge Brayers!  This was a card I used in our Fun n’ Crafty team card swap recently to trade ideas using the newer Annual Catalog products. Today a few of us are sharing our swap cards in a team Blog Hop for you!

    On our team we have a range of folks from super experienced stampers to folks who are pretty new but really excited to create and stamp.  So, when we do a card swap with the team, we get a good range of styles and designs – but fantastically, they all turn out great!  I haven’t yet seen what the other 3 ladies in this blog hop are going to share with you… but I know they are really talented crafters so I can’t wait to check them out with you!

    Quick Reminder!

    Just a note to remind you that TODAY is the last day to get in on the Free Ink Pad promotion for joining our Fun n’ Crafty Stampers group by purchasing the Starter Kit.  It is a crazy good deal and we are pretty fun too. 🙂 Plus, you can swap and hop with us too if you want next time!
    ps – If you are visiting from one of the other blog hop participants – know you can get this same deal from them as well and they would love to have you join with them. 🙂

    On to the Good Stuff!  The Sponge Brayer Swap Card!

    So, I will admit it.  I tried the Sponge Brayers when they first came out and I wasn’t sure I liked them.  I was used to the rubber roller and how much ink you transferred when you used that tool.  So, I set my sponge brayers aside and went on to coloring techniques.  Well, a year later, I pulled them out to create a background and WOW they were awesome!

    I was inspired by a card from UK demonstrator Sam Hammond Donald and put my own twist on it and loved the result….Isn’t the final card fun?!

    I started by taking a 3″x4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock and then grabbing the 2 sponge brayers that come in a package.  I inked one up with Lemon Lime Twist ink and started lightly rolling from the top of my cardstock until about 2/3rd of the way down the paper.

    Then I inked up the other brayer with Granny Apple Green (my new favorite green color – brand new as of June 2018!) and lightly rolled from the bottom of the cardstock up about 2/3rds of the way.

    Once you have the dark color worked up, I went over the middle (and lightly the top) with the Lemon Lime Twist brayer, just to finish blending the colors.

    Stamp your solid image – like this tree over your newly made background first to make your base.

    I love this sentiment from the Rooted in Nature stamp set (the tree is from the same set) and just simply cut it up so I could haphazardly glue it down below my tree.  I just makes it a little more fun and eclectic when the sentiment is coming off and over the main cardstock and mats.

    And see those black rhinestones?  All you have to do is grab your basic clear rhinestones and a black sharpie and color away!  They stay slightly shiny but better fit in with the colors for this card.

    Finally, what I think really pulled it together was the Wood Textures designer paper for the background – would you agree? (and YES! it is one of the papers included in the Buy 3 get 1 free promotion that ends today)

    I tried just adding a strip or mat layer… basically something that was a bit more “economical” with my patterened paper; but none of them looked quite right.  I realized I needed to go big or not at all, so I cut up to a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece and adhered it to the front of a Whisper White card base.  It is the perfect amount of natural and texture to go with the tree image and the greens of the rest of the card.

    This card was a lot of fun to make and I hope it inspired you to try out the Sponge Brayers and the Wood Textures designer paper.  They are both total winners!

  • All About Carols of Christmas – a blog hop

    All About Carols of Christmas – a blog hop

    Carols of Christmas blog hop banner
    I’m back and sharing today another fun idea using the fabulous Carols of Christmas sneak peek bundle!  If you have stopped by my blog recently, you saw my totally different Carols of Christmas card, and that is why I love this bundle – you can make such a wide variety of cards and styles of cards with the same stamps and dies!

    *** Don’t forget, you have until Monday night (7/31) to get this stamp set & essentials pack FREE when you purchase the demonstrator starter kit or anyone can purchase the stamp set and dies as a bundle starting August 1st as part of the Holiday Catalog early release sneak peek! ***

    Tips for making this Carols of Christmas forest scene card:

    Last post I focused on the card front edge dies, so this time I wanted to play with the scenery dies instead.  I came up with a fun forest scene for you to use as the highlight of your card.  Its so easy to pull together with just a few pieces, so you could totally mass product the scene for multiple holiday cards.

    • Stamp and die cut all the pieces you need first and then quickly assemble them with your basic tape runner and Stampin’ Dimensionals!
      Here are all the pieces you need to put together the forest scene:
      Carols of Christmas die cut forest scene pieces neededYou’ll notice the wavy stitched circle on the right.  That is just the same stitched circle die from the Stitched Shapes framelits (largest circle), only cut out from the edge of a piece of scrap paper.  Then I took my paper snips and cut a wavy edge, similar in curve to the bottom of the double tree die cut.  You’ll layer this over the full circle to create a snowy hill.
    • Make it POP! Adhere the double trees directly to your large stitched circle, then add the wavy circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Then add in your single tree and deer, and any other elements you want to add.
    • Don’t stop with the die cuts! I added Clear Wink of Stella to the wavy circle to make it like twinkling snow.  I also used the Chalk Marker to add dusting of snow onto the tops of each of the branches on all the trees.

    • Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals are perfect! They are exactly the right size for holding up the body of the deer and the top of the single tree.  No needing to fuss with cutting up edges or larger standard dimensionals.
    • How to easily adhere skinny ribbons – I really wanted to add a touch of color and a border to my patterned paper.  I love this plaid pattern from the Merry Little Christmas designer paper in the Holiday Catalog but wanted more than just green and neutrals.  I was looking at my ribbons and the Fresh Fig 1/8″ ribbon was perfect!  The only problem?  How to glue it down!
      Check out my solution:
      how to cut tape to use with skinny ribbonI tried liquid glue, but it would leak through the ribbon and make an ugly dark circle.  So I knew I needed a tape.  I reached for my Tear & Tape and it hit me! Just trim off a very skinny piece from the end of the tape spool and it fit perfectly onto the ribbon.  I added 4 pieces of tape  along the ribbon and it held great.
    • Sentiment doesn’t fit? Cut it up! Finally, I wanted to use a sentiment from the stamp set, but the blocky sizing just didn’t fit my card.  So what’s a stamper to do?  Why cut it up, of course!  I stamped the sentiment on scrap paper and then trimmed each piece out.  Tape it down and it can now fit wherever you need!

    Then I just added some pearls for snow and a bit of the burlap ribbon for the finishing touches.

  • Crafting Forever Using the New 2017-2019 In Colors!

    Crafting Forever Using the New 2017-2019 In Colors!

    Fun n Crafty Blog Hop Team BadgeIt’s time for another great Blog Hop with my Fun n’ Crafty Stampers group!  This month we are playing with the new 2017-2019 In Colors!

    I hope you take a chance to hop through our projects today because these new In Colors are ones that have some surprisingly great colors in the set!  For example, while my far and away favorite new in color is the Berry Burst… I first saw Lemon Lime Twist and thought,”Ack!  How can anyone do anything with this neon yellow/green color?”

    Oh, silly me!

    I soon saw people pairing it with black and white… seriously an amazing combination.  Along with using it in other accent color combinations and now I have to say I think it is my second favorite color in the bunch!  So, lets check out these colors:

    2017-2019 Stampin Up In Colors

    I was inspired by a card by Jenn Tinline and wanted to show off all the new In Colors in one go… and they were a perfect compliment to the pens stamp in the Crafting Forever stamp set!  I used my In Color Markers to color in the pens (you just have to stamp it twice, but I tried stamping it using no special tools and it lined up really easily!)  Then I used the pens again to color directly on the rubber for the sentiment.  A little Berry Burst for the “creative” and Fresh Fig for everything else.Fun tip for this card front.  I wanted my sentiment to look like a tag, but didn’t want to have to do a lot of work to get that look.  So I did it the cheater way!

    1. Stamp your sentiment onto scrap paper and then punch out with a circle punch.
    2. Run a piece of baker’s twine around your cardstock that you want the tag to “hang” from.  Make sure to only tape down the ENDS of the baker’s twine behind the cardstock.
    3. Adhere your circle to the card so that the top of the circle is just underneath your baker’s twine.
    4. Take a second piece of baker’s twine and tie a bow onto the first piece of baker’s twine.  Then position the bow so it looks like it is in the top of the “tag”
    5. Easy peasy done!

  • Clean and Simple Elegance Eastern Palace Card

    Clean and Simple Elegance Eastern Palace Card

    Fun n Crafty Blog Hop Team BadgeWoo hoo!  This week is hopping – blog hopping that is!  This time, its my Fun n’ Crafty Stampers team who are here to share with you some fresh ideas using the newest products – our preorder goodies!

    Now, I’ll admit, technically, I might be bending the rules a bit because the goodies I have to show you – you yourself can actually order them TODAY!  Say, what?!  I’m featuring the Eastern Palace suite that is new in the upcoming 2017-2018 Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog.  I’m not going to lie, this was a suite I wouldn’t have really thought twice about if I was just flipping through the catalog.  But Stampin’ Up was smart and they decided to offer it early as part of two Sneak Peek bundles (the starter bundle & the premier bundle).  So, of course, I ordered it. 🙂  And turns out, I love it!

    Eastern Palace Suite Premier Bundle

    My favorite piece in the suite is the Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers.  That is what makes the shiny gold flower and little circles in the background of my card.  They are so EASY to do and because the stickers are clear and fairly close cut to the images, they blend in and look great!

    Easy Gold Accents with Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers

    Tips for making this Eastern Palace Clean & Simple card:

    • Sometimes the perfect Gold ink is Yellow! As I was creating this card, I wanted to have the stamped ring around my sentiment fit with the gold accents of the card since I didn’t really want to introduce another color to the mix.  And right as I was lamenting the retirement of gold ink, I looked at my Color Caddy ink spinner and saw the Delightful Dijon ink pad!  I realized that the dark yellow was a great hue to compliment gold.  Too bad it is retiring on May 31st, or I’d be using it with this suite all year!
      Eastern Palace Color Palette with Delightful Dijon
    • Scissors is all you need to pop-out this diecut flower – I saw this flower on a card by Louise Sharp and it in fact inspired this card – but when I went to use my die to cut it out, I realized that the die actually just die cuts the petals so they curl up from the cardstock… it doesn’t cut the whole thing out of the paper!  However, it is an easy 30 second fix to just grab your snips and snip the one spot in between each petal that keeps it connected to the cardstock.  A few quick snips and you have a fun new die shape!
      Easy Gold Accents on Cards with Eastern Palace Suite side view
    • Think outside the suite for coordinating accents – I had the card coming together using the cardstock, stamps, stickers, and even designer paper from the Eastern Palace suite.  But it still needed that elusive something.  Thankfully I remembered the Fabulous Foil Acetate from the current Annual Catalog.  It is super easy to miss and in fact, I often forgot I even had some from my part of last year’s product sampler I ran.  But if you look at that mosaic gold piece above the purple paper, it is a printed window sheet that coordinates PERFECTLY with this suite!  I’m so glad it is carrying over, because now that I realized how fab it actually is; I plan to use the heck out of it. 🙂

    (thank goodness for samplers saving the day with this card! and yes, I have just released new product samplers for the upcoming catalog for when a year from now we discover that item that we never thought twice about, but now 11 months later is exactly perfect for a project!)

    So, what do you think of this card and this suite?

    I’d love to hear your thoughts… please leave me a comment below and let me know what YOU think of the Eastern Palace Suite!

    Make this project at home! Here is what you’ll need:

    Eastern Palace Premier Bundle

    $103.50

    Layering Circle Framelits Dies

    $35.00

    Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate

    $12.00

    Big Shot

    $110.00

    $9.00

    So, that was my idea using something new from the upcoming catalog.  While you can order the discounted bundle this month, you will be able to order individual pieces from this Eastern Palace suite starting June 1st!  And if you just can’t wait, we’d love to have you join our Fun n’ Crafty team!  Order your starter kit and you can get this bundle, plus $21.50 in product more for less than the price of the bundle alone!  You’ll be able to order it today and then consider joining us on our blog hop next month. 🙂

  • Daisy Delight Sneak Peek Thank You Card

    Daisy Delight Sneak Peek Thank You Card

    I’m excited to finally be getting off my duff and participating in this fun Thailand Incentive Trip Achievers Blog Hop. Each month, a collection of the folks who have earned the trip and will be joining me in Thailand this July, choose a theme and share some amazing projects!  This month our theme is the “2017/2018 Annual Catalog Sneak Peek”. We want to show you some of the AMAZING products that are available for demonstrators to order right now! So check out all the cute projects and amazing inspiration!

    I have been having a blast using the new Daisy Delight Bundle.  It includes the new Daisy Delight stamp set and the Daisy punch.  And while I love my dies, I’m always a sucker for great punches.  They make projects quick and easy, and you don’t need a lot of space to get your work done.
    Layered Daisy Punch makes an easy card embellishment

    Tips for making this Daisy Delight Thank You card:

    • Double Up! I kept it sweet and simple.  I stamped my daisy in Crushed Curry twice and punched both flowers out.  The punch creates a sparse daisy, but once you start layering the punches, they really build up into beautiful flowers!
    • Perfect Complementary Punch! You can stamp the center of the flower and it punches out perfectly with the 1/2″ circle punch!
    • Add some shimmer! I’m hoping you can tell in the picture above, the middle of my flower was stamped in Early Espresso, but to get that coordinating golden glow and shimmer, I used my retiring Gold Wink of Stella brush.  It adds just the right hint of yellow to match the flower and adds lots of gold shimmer!

    Great thank you sentiment from the Daisy Delight stamp setI love the fonts and sentiments that go with this stamp set as well.  You can mix and match to fit exactly what you need your card to say.  And when I get the chance to mix and match my sentiment stamps, especially when there are different fonts, I love to mix and match my colors too!  I just picked two colors I used elsewhere in the card (Dapper Denim and Early Espresso) to tie everything together.

  • Valentines with Love Sparkles & a Blog Hop!

    Valentines with Love Sparkles & a Blog Hop!

    Lets keep the blogging streak going (because you know 2 days out of 2 is something! ha ha!) and today is a fun day because it is Blog Hop day!  I’m joining forces with some of my Fun n’ Crafty Stampers team to share with you some fun Valentine’s Day project ideas! (more…)

  • Three types of Sparkle- One Card! Merriest Wishes Silver Sparkle Card

    Welcome!  Today is another blog hop and I am hoping with my team… yay!  The Fun n’ Crafty stampers have pulled together some projects to share that is all about sparkle and shine.  So we are posting ideas for using those glimmer papers, glitter ribbons, foils, etc.  In fact, today I have 3 different sparkly products in 1 card so you can see how well they mix and match too!

    I mean, lets be honest… we all have our favorite way to put glitz on our projects,  Some folks LOVE their glimmer papers, others LOVE their rhinestones, still others it is all about the Foil sheets.  Personally, I collect shiny things but always am so hesitant to use them up that I use just a little on this project or just a touch here.

    EMBRACE THE SHINE!  

    I’m just going to say, trying mixing and matching and you’ll end up having a lot of fun!

    So, this all started with the Merriest Wishes stamp set and coordinating framelits.  I had been playing around with different combinations of layering the stamp images.  I ended up with misc pieces and decided to turn this ornament into a less traditional combination for a Christmas card!  I used the 1 3/4″ and 1 1/4″ circle punches to cut out the Navy 25 circle and the Smoky Slate detailed circle… and they layered perfectly onto the ornament die cut from the Merry Tags framelit set.

    But where is the glitz in that?  Well, let me tell you!

    1. Tie on some sparkle!  I added the Real Red and the Red Tinsel Baker’s twine from the Candy Cane Lane baker’s twine pack as a bow at the top of my ornament.  The red tinsel in the red/white twine is subtle, but cute.
    2. Grab some glimmer paper! Then I wanted to add some extra round shapes to balance the ornament, so I stamped and cut out a Real Red circle image and then went straight to the Silver Glimmer paper and cut out the same sized circle.  In both cases, I used the circle framelit from the Merry Tags die set.
    3. Stretch your sparkle with Glitter ribbon!  I had used a piece of the Fancy Frost embossed designer paper as my big white strip (I just loved the subtle embossing), but thought one more bit of shine was in order, so just grab some of the great glitter ribbons (like this 3/8″ glitter ribbon combo pack in the Holiday Catalog) and wrap it around your designer paper piece before gluing it to the card front.

    So, it was a fun way to play around and mix and match my sparkle.  I would say, if you are going to try to mix them up, pick one as your main focus… in this case, it was the Glitter Ribbon that was the big in-your-face shine.  And then use the other pieces more as accent pieces.  So a small touch of glimmer paper, and a bit of the baker’s twine… or maybe a couple rhinestones or sequins.  Play with it and see what you get!

  • Sweet Christmas Card with Suite Seasons for the Fun n’ Crafty Blog Hop!

    Today is a fun post for me because not only am I going to share the swap card that I created for OnStage Local in Vancouver, BC last weekend – but it is also the Fun n’ Crafty Blog Hop!  That is right!  Some of the stampers from my group have gotten the band back together again and we are showcasing some holiday project ideas including many using the stamp sets that are in the 25% off sale this month!  So, make sure to check them all out.

    Keeping it Simple with the Suite Season stamp set

    So, for OnStage this year, I made the poor choice of not working on my display board project particularly early, which meant as we were getting into the last week before the event, I still needed to finish up display board projects AND create a card to bring as a swap card.  Thankfully, the Suite Season stamp set and the Candy Cane Lane designer paper made it easy for me to pull together a cute card with time to spare!

    Now, I’ve had some people ask where the house came from, and if you missed it, it was cut straight from the Candy Cane Lane designer paper!  And before you start thinking “oh man!  That is a pain to cut”, let me tell you, it goes WAY faster than you might think!  I thought that was going to be the thing that was going to be the biggest pain for me with this card, but nope!  Turns out, trying to pick up and glue the little hearts were a more tedious challenge than cutting. Smile  I cut for 20 cards out of a sheet of the designer paper.

    The houses were a great balance for the size of the sentiment from the Suite Season stamp set.  I wanted the sentiment to hold it’s own and then just decorate up the other side of the card as an accent to the saying.

    And speaking of accents, if you do cut these houses out – make sure to grab your Clear Wink of Stella!  I painted it onto the snow topped portions of the house and it was super cute!

    Then it was as simple as layering over the fabulous stitched edge Real Red ribbon and one of the White Doilies (cut in half) to finish out the card.  Oh and before I forget the other touch… that little red heart at the bottom of the sentiment.  Can you guess where I got that from? huh? huh?  Smile

    It is from the Hearts Confetti Border punch!  How fun is that?!  I punched out some hearts from scrap paper and then just glued them down over the stamped heart in the sentiment.  That little extra touch of red on the right side just finishes it off, don’t you think?

    Now, like I said, this stamp set is one of the 9 sets that are available for 25% off in the month of November.  Stampin’ Up picked stamp sets that would coordinate with the NEW Stitched Edge Framelits and makes it easy to create cute projects!  They are featured in this blog hop as well as in the Premium Tutorial Pack for November!  See what stamp sets made the list:

    Holy mackerel!  Valentine’s Day has snuck up on me and I can’t believe we are less than a couple weeks away!  Good thing is… there is still time to make your Valentine’s Day treats and cards.  And yes, there is still time to order those last minute supplies and get them in time to play before the holiday!  Smile  So, to get you all fired up and inspired for all the love-filled creations, I’m joining up with the Inspire, Create, & Share crew on a Blog Hop all about Love!

    12417846_10153838682348048_338791290049439201_n

    I’m one of 14 stops on the hop, so if you are joining me from Darla’s blog, welcome!  I have a fun project to share today… a Valentine’s Treat Pouch I made as a bonus project for my Stamp Club.  It is fun to make and quicker than you might think!

    Love Blossoms Envelope Punch Board Valentine Treat Bag

    Jennifer’s Project Tips:

    • It all starts with an adorable owl – The very first thing I designed for this project was the Owl.  If you haven’t used the Owl Builder punch before, you are missing out on so many cute projects!  From owls, to penguins, to reindeer, it is a super versatile punch!
      But even when you are making a simple owl, don’t hesitate to dress her up!  I used the small flower flourish from the Bloomin’ Love stamp set and stamped it onto a scrap of Pink Pirouette cardstock before punching out the tummy for my owl.  It is like she is wearing a pretty dress!  Then punch out two of the hearts from the same punch and glue them together over her ear for instant bow.  BAM!  Cute or Super Cute??Valentine's Day Owl Builder Punch
    • Create a custom treat holder with the Envelope Punch Board – I was trying to decide what to put my owl on, when it hit me!  I could use the envelope punch board along with the cute Love Blossoms paper stack to quickly make the treat holders.
      –  Start with a 6×6 piece of patterned paper (good thing this paper pack comes as a 6×6 pack!)
      –  Use the envelope punch board to create an envelope. Start at the 2 5/8″ score line and score and punch as normal.on all sides (video tutorial for the punch board).
      –  fold in 3 of the sides but do NOT fold and press the 4th side.
      –  decorate to your heart’s content!
    • Have fun with layers!  I next created the sentiment – the banner stamp and the sentiment are both from the same Bloomin’ Love stamp set, but did you know? The banner has a matching framelit over in the Large Numbers framelit set!  Or trim by hand.  Either way works.  I stamped my banner first and THEN added my sentiment.  But then don’t stop there, add more layers!  Try wrapping the treat bag with the Watermelon Wonder satin ribbon and then layering your sentiment and the owl.
      – Want extra credit?  Keep it going!  Add a gold metallic doily to the front of the bag and adhere a 2 1/2” Crumb Cake cardstock circle for a shiny backdrop.Valentine's Day treat bag layers
    • But what adhesive to use for what?  I used a few different adhesives for this project so I thought you might like a quick guide for it:
      –  Holding together your treat bag = Fast Fuse, you want something stronger than your average tape to make sure your treat doesn’t come apart!
      –  Layering your Owl = 2-way glue pen, with all these small pieces you are trying to stick together, the glue pen is easy to handle and not messy with your little pieces
      –  Attaching your Owl = I used one Stampin’ Dimensional to keep her in place
      –  Everything else = viewers choice!  Though my preference is for SNAIL or Fast Fuse, basically some kind of tape runner

    So I hope you enjoyed my project and found some new ideas for inspiration!  Click the next button below to see what Claudia has created for the blog hop!  The next in your 14 stop hop full of love!

  • Bling Up your Card with Glitter Ribbon–A Birthday & Thank You card (BLOG HOP)

    I’m so excited to be able to join a fun blog hop today for the first time!  Welcome to the Grand Vacation Achievers Blog Hop for December. This is a monthly blog hop with many fabulous and talented Stampin’ Up demonstrators who work and play hard with their business. Smile  This month our theme is Bring on the Bling. You know I love me some sparkle and shine but I thought I’d be a bit different from my regular rhinestones (or even glimmer paper) and share some ideas using the fabulous – but retiring – Gold Glitter Ribbon!

    Holiday Catalog Ribbon – Perfect for Any Occasion!

    I wanted to share a couple ideas that used some of the Holiday Catalog items that are retiring in a few days that can give some bling and shine any time of year.  Like this Birthday Card featuring the Winter Wonderland Specialty designer paper & the Gold Glitter Ribbon.

    Tips for making this card:

    • Look for “anytime” patterns in your “Holiday” designer paper packs!  I had the Winter Wonderland designer paper in my stash and because it was in the Holiday Catalog in a Christmas section, all I could see in it at first were the snowflakes, acorns, and trees.  But when I started really trying to figure out how I could use the paper, I realized there were lots of neutral patterns that were good anytime.  Like this crackled glass pattern.  Plus, an extra bonus was that it had little shiny gold dots speckled throughout the paper so you got some subtle bling going on.  Who said gold is only for the holidays?
      PS – this paper pack is retiring on Jan 4th but yay! it is on sale as part of the Year-end Sale!
    • Layer your ribbon for cool new looks – The next thing was that I liked the idea of the Jute ribbon… but it was too wide and plain as it was.  So why not spiff it up and layer your favorite ribbon over it.  Adds a whole new dimension don’t you think?  I thought it helped balance the bright and sparkly gold in the Gold Glitter ribbon.  You can use SNAIL tape runner to adhere the ribbon together, but I might suggest a stronger adhesive like the Tear Tape to make sure that your gold ribbon really gets a good grip on the slightly fuzzy Jute Ribbon below.
    • Perfectly cut out banners from the Amazing Birthday stamp set with the bundled Banner Framelits – Did you know that the Banner framelits are a perfect match for the Amazing Birthday stamp set I used?  The stamp images fit great inside the different banner shapes for easy cutting.  Plus, you can get them together in a bundle and even save 15% off both.  How sweet is that?

    image

    So now moving on from Birthdays, another type of card that I need all the time is a Thank You card.  I was trying to use up some scraps on my desk and stumbled onto this design.  I loved the touch of gold at the bottom of the card.

    Tips for making this card:

    • Get fun effects by mixing your embossing folders and ink!  These cool polka dots are easy to do!  Just grab the Large Polka Dot embossing folder and the use a sponge dauber to sponge ink directly INSIDE the indented side of the embossing folder.  THEN put your paper in the folder and run it through your Big Shot.  As the paper is smashed into the impressions in the folder, they will also be pressed uniformly into the ink creating cool distressed looking dots of color on your paper!
    • Layered punches really help them stand out – I had fun with my cutting and punches here.  Start by stamping the leaves from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set and then cut those out (yes, it has to be by hand… sorry Smile) and then grab your punches!  I used my Petite Petals punch to punch out the Blackberry Bliss flower.  Then stamped onto white cardstock, the little flower from the Something to Say stamp set and punched it out using the Itty Bitty Accent punch pack.  They all layer together for a fun, unexpected flower!
    • Mix your metallics – Finally, just because I had used gold by adding the touch of the Gold Glitter ribobn at the bottom of the card… don’t you think it just grounds the card nicely?  I decided to add a hint of gold into the rest of the card by adding two gold sequins from the Gold Sequin trim next to my flower.  Just enough to balance the gold ribbon, but not too much that we are worried about getting gaudy or feeling like King Midas was having a field day with the card!  I stuck with gold but you can also get some fun looks by mixing gold and other metallic colors too.  So have fun and play around.

    So I hope you’ve enjoyed these two ideas for adding some bling to your projects that you can not only use anytime of year… but you can also use the Gold Glitter Ribbon to add some bling to GUY cards too!  I’d love to hear what you think!

    But keep the great ideas going by checking out the other ideas and inspiration you don’t want to miss. Remember that currently you are at my blog – JENNIFER BLOMQUIST, so check the blog hop line up list to see who is next in the list. Smile

  • Sprinkles of Life Cupcake Birthday for the Fun n’ Crafty Blog Hop – (Wednesday Walkthrough Video Tutorial)

    If you missed it yesterday, the new 2015 Stampin’ Up annual catalog launched yesterday and so today we are in full swing of everything ramped up and ready to go with all the changes that come with the new catalog.  If you haven’t seen yours yet, here is the link to the new catalog and to my new catalog walkthrough video that went up on my YouTube channel yesterday.

    See the new catalog PDF  |  Check out my new catalog walkthrough on YouTube!

    But not only is the new catalog here but it is once again time for another Fun n’ Crafty Stampers Blog Hop!  We were supposed to be mixing products from the new catalog with items from the prior catalog… you know, the good ol’ mixing of old and new.  And I can tell you, the new products do that great, especially the new In Colors!   So, while I got a little excited playing with my new stuff, I did at least mix in some old colors and my 2-1/2” circle punch to do a bit of old and new.  So it counts, right? Smile

    Triple Banner Punch + Cherry on Top paper + Sprinkles of Life stamp set = a Bright Birthday Card!

    As I was working on this card, I got inspired to put together a whole Card Class by Mail around this super duper awesome stamp set – so this is card 1 from my new Sprinkles of Life card class by mail!

    Tips for making this card:

    • The new “Banner Triple Punch” or as I call it, the Triple Banner punch, makes these banners come together super easy.  Sure, it doesn’t take that long to trim paper ends by hand with your scissors, but after using this, I can tell how great it is to not have to worry about being a little off… or wanting to go quick because I want to have 2 or 3 banner ends per card!
    • Use the color palatte of your designer paper to get you started!  In this case, I pulled the Crushed Curry ink, Watermelon Wonder, and Bermuda Bay from the Cherry on Top designer paper pack.  It really pulls everything together!
    • The Sprinkles of Life stamp set gives you a TON of options for your projects

      image
      – especially when you add in the Tree Builder punch.  Because then suddenly you get so much dimension for your clouds, trees, and cupcakes!image
    • Sponge the edges of your banners to help them POP and keep from blending into one another.  It use Crushed Curry as a bright alternative to my typical browns.
    • Get more control and a better sponged edge when you use a Sponge Dauber for your inking as opposed to direct to inkpad or the yellow sponges.
    • Don’t be afraid to stamp onto non-traditional colors!  I don’t think of Watermelon Wonder and Bermuda Bay as real-life cupcake colors, but they still totally work on a card!
    • Use the flower punch from the Tree Builder punch to get the little accent flower and then bling it up with the smallest sized rhinestone.
    • Add the perfect finishing touch with the new Dotted Lace Trim in all the new In Colors (though I have to say the Watermelon color in the lace is my FAV!)

    Watch my Wednesday Walkthrough video for even more tips and to see just how easy it is to pull this card together! And then make sure to hop along to all the other great project ideas on our Hop!
