    • TOMORROW (6/2) – shop out of all 3 catalogs (old annual, new annual, occasions catalog), LAST DAY for the old prices (some large punches, the Big Shot, Big Shot plates, and ink are increasing slightly; everything is getting rounded to the nearest dollar or quarter) and current hostess benefits, NEW get 2 free stamp sets when you become a member of my Fun n’ Crafty team!

    So, lets move on to some cards!

    I was inspired by a similar card idea by Patty Bennett and so love the idea of creating this quick and easy thank you card.  And it gave me a last hurrah with more of my favorites that are going away.

    Featured Retiring Products:

    TOMORROW is your LAST CHANCE to snag these!

    Tips for making this card:

    • These cards are great because they are a SUPER EFFICIENT use of your designer paper!  Cut your 12×12 piece of designer paper into 9 – 4”x4” squares… you’ll get 108 pieces in a full pack of paper.
    • Mount your pattern paper to a 4-1/4” x 4-1/4” card base (so a 4-1/4” x 8-1/2” piece of cardstock folded in half) and you are almost done!

    • Add some ribbon, a punched flower, and a sentiment and you are done!
    • I’m so sad the Petal Potpourri stamp set is retiring, but at least the punch is sticking around!  Punch out a stamped image and then a solid colored cardstock using the Flower Medallion punch and then glue them together so that the wide flower petals from the solid cardstock punched flower is layered behind the skinny petals of the stamped and punched flower.  It ends up looking really cool!

    • You can keep it as simple or as fancy as you want.  And with a great patterned paper like this Painted Petals designer paper, you really can’t go wrong!

    Project Supplies Used:

  • Pastel Fun with Kinda Eclectic

    Happy Thursday!  I have a quick share for you today using my beloved Kinda Eclectic stamp set in another totally different way.  This was another of my convention display board cards and one that was fun to see up on the boards:

    Thoughts for this card

    • I love using this sun stamp image for a background on my projects (I have an awesome card storage box that I’ll be sharing soon that does this as well!) but when you switch up the colors it gives you totally different looks. 
      In this case I used:  Pistachio Pudding, Daffodil Delight, Perfect Plum, Smoky Slate, and Blackberry Bliss for the sentiment.
    • Add coordinating strips of cardstock behind your image to help emphasize the colors you chose.  If you keep your brightest color in the middle it will make that color really pop!

    • Add color around your punched images with a sponge dauber to help them stand out from the rest of your card.  Especially if you have a busy background like on this card.
    • Don’t be afraid to tear your paper!  It makes for an easy way to add texture and interesting layers without much work.

    This card was fun because it was a totally unexpected color combination for me.  I think I found papers around my desk and I knew I wanted it light and it all came together. 

    If you want more fun ideas for color combinations or want to share your recent combos, I asked the other night on my Facebook page what color combinations folks had used recently and there were some great combos there as well!  So stop by, check it out, and then share what you have been using!

  • Gorgeous Grunge Polaroid Birthday Card

    Gorgeous Grunge Polaroid Birthday Card

    One of the things I especially love about crafting is that two people can take the same supplies and turn out completely different cards with totally different styles.  As you may have noticed from my blog, my style tends to be more clean and simple cards that can be created pretty quickly.  That said, Rosemary Bryson is one of the gals in my downline and she can take the same products I have and seem to effortlessly turn them into stunning works of art!  For example, this card:

    I love how she combined the stamp sets and punches to create such a unique look!

    The hearts were stamped using the Perfect Pennants stamp set and then traced with a white gel pen and then covered in crystal effects.  she also added sequins and glimmer paper dots to add some extra sparkle and shine.  Such a fun idea!

    And it is really hard to tell, but she actually inked the entire paper (the polaroid frame) with versamark and embossed it with white embossing paper to give it that thick, shiny feel!  See, that is something I never would have thought to do.  And add some more embossing on the background paper with Gorgeous Grunge and you have a fun paint splatter effect to keep any part of the card from being boring. Smile

  • Lovely Lattices with the Chevron Border Punch

    Lovely Lattices with the Chevron Border Punch

    Today is my day to share some ideas over on the Stampin’ Stylin’ Inkspiration blog and I thought I would share with them and you a technique that has been around for a while but I only recently gave it a try myself – making lattices with the Chevron punch!  If you haven’t tried it yet, this is an easy technique that has lots of possibilities.

    To get started, here is the card that was my first attempt with this idea:

    It was my chance to play with a few of the fun new tools from the Occasion catalog including:

    So, when I would see that lattice or similar looks on other cards, I always thought it was really hard and complicated.  I wasn’t sure that I could make it myself, but I finally figured that since I had the Chevron Punch I ought to at least give it a try. 

    Turns out it is easier than I thought!  Wanna see how to do it yourself?

    Start out with two 1.25″ x 5.5″ strips of cardstock.  Punch the chevron pattern on each one.  Here is where I lined up the first edge of my cardstock to get started punching so that I had the right amount of spacing.

    Now, after you punch the first set of chevrons, slide the paper over and continue punching along the paper strip.  Make sure you only see silver through the punched chevrons as you go!  Otherwise your chevrons will be uneven and won’t braid together very well.

    Once you are done, you should have two strips of cardstock that look about the same.  Lay them next to each other on the table so the chevrons are pointed in the opposite directions.

    Now, start “braiding” the paper.  That is lay the two strips on top of each other in this orientation and start tucking the chevron tips so that the top layer chevron tips are *behind* the chevron tips of the back piece of paper.  I know that is a little confusing to read in text, but if you look up close, this next picture might help!

    Wha-bam!  You have a handy dandy snazzy lattice to use in your projects. 🙂  Now, because you braided them together, your final piece is actually a little bit longer than 5-1/2″.  So you can position it how you’d like on the front of your card and trim off the extra – so, no worries if your ends look a little strange.

    Tuck in some flowers… add some butterflies… stamp your background with the Hardwood stamp set and you have a really fun card!

    I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial!  I highly recommend giving it a shot.  There are so many fun things you can do with this technique.  For example, check out another idea for something you can do if you make this lattice with two different colored strips of cardstock!

    In this case, I used Melon Mambo and Whisper White, then I glued it over a piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock for bright look on white.  What do you think?  Pretty right?  Smile  So give it a shot and get creative and you may just love what comes out!

  • Waiting for News on the Stampin’ Up Blendabilities?

    Waiting for News on the Stampin’ Up Blendabilities?

    So, I’m delaying my originally planned post for today until tomorrow.  So in the meantime, I wanted to share some news I just learned and remind everyone that there is only 5 days left for the Super Starter Kit deal!

    And, after I tell you about the Blendabilities news… you are really going to want to make sure you know about your option for being a member of the Stampin’ Up Family. Smile

    Stampin’ Blendabilities – Coming Soon(ish)

    Now, if you haven’t heard of Blendabilties, they are Stampin’ Up’s version of alcohol ink markers.  These types of markers are great for blending colors and get complex shading of your images.  It also isn’t nearly as hard as it looks either!

    Here is an example of the type of project you can make:

    Pleasant Poppies

    I don’t have this type of marker yet (I just got to play with them at Leadership in January) but I found this BEAUTIFUL card created by Darlene DeVries.  She used Copic markers which is the same type of marker so you can see the possibilities with the Pleasant Poppies stamp.

    Now, if they have Copics, why am I waiting to buy Stampin’ Blendabilities?

    A few reasons…

    1. Stampin’ Blendabilities are more cost-effective!  They will be available for $11.95 for a set of 3 as opposed to $5-$8 a marker.
    2. They will come in SU colors and so coordinate with the papers, cardstock, and accessories I already have.  (I know, I’m a sucker for easy matching!)
    3. You get your markers in sets of 3 that tell you which shades go together.  So no guessing.  I can get a set of Cherry Cobbler markers and have the light, medium, and dark in one set and know I can shade anything red and know which marker colors go together.
    4. And of course, as a demonstrator, I get an extra discount… and any chance to save money on some awesome tools is always a great perk!
    When can I get some Stampin’ Blendabilties?

    So, here is the tricky question.  Thankfully, Stampin’ Up realized that there are a LOT of people eagerly waiting for these markers and so they are trying to make sure they have enough inventory to prevent backorders.  Turns out, manufacturing is taking longer than they thought, so they have had to shift the release date.

    Demonstrators – If you are a demonstrator, you will be able to preorder 6 of the colors plus some accessories with the new catalog products preorder on May 1st!  Then when the new catalog launches June 2nd, the skin tone colors will be out next.

    Customers – We are still waiting to hear when they will be available for everyone to order.  All the Blendabilities products will be shown in the new Stampin’ Up! catalog in June but the date for ordering will be based on how manufacturing goes in the next couple months.  (The goal being as soon as possible when the new catalog launches)

    I’ll keep you posted as they update us, but if you are really eager for your own set of Blendabilities, consider getting your Stampin’ Up starter kit and joining the demonstrator family!  Get all the perks including seeing the 2014-2015 catalog first & get in on the early ordering the new products!

  • Button Buddies Flower Fun

    I know we are in fall time and so a lot of the projects are rich colors and holiday themes, so I hope you don’t mind me going off in a completely different direction with this bright and cheery card!

    This was one of my “scraps” cards.  As in, I have a terrible time throwing in my recycling bin any stamped scraps, embossed papers, or other rejects from working on one card that I just know could be used on another card later.  But then those half used papers pile up and I start to go a little bit crazy.   So, I’ve been trying to periodically make a card mostly or completely out of scraps I have left over.

    So, first I had these flowers from when I was trying to pick a pink color for a different card.  Turns out they go great with a homemade glitter brad I created for a Crystal Effects class.  (That is a Cameo Coral In Color brad that has been covered in Crystal Effects and dipped in Dazzling Diamonds glitter!)

     

    I had left over Wisteria Wonder cardstock that had been embossed with the stripes going the wrong way for a card I was prepping for a class one time and so it worked perfectly here.  And then I decided to break out my FAVORITE paper right now – Early Espresso Coordinations cardstock.  If this paper doesn’t stick around after the Holiday Catalog I will be (1) surprised and (2) so very very sad!

    I ran a scrap through the Woodgrain embossing folder and my Big Shot and then punched out a Modern Label punch to use as a mat behind my sentiment punched out with the Word Window punch.

    I really was happy with how the card turned out AND the fact that I used up a number of scraps!  It still doesn’t put too much of a dent into my scrap pile, but it’s a start!

  • Halloween Colors but not a Halloween Card

    This afternoon, I finally got to have some quality time with Photoshop on my computer and finished editing a bunch of project photos to share here on my blog.  However, when the time came to pick what to share with you tonight, I kept gravitating towards Christmas cards, and while I can’t wait to share more holiday ideas with you, I just wanted to give Halloween and pretty fall colors their time too.  🙂

    So I thought I would share this card I received as a swap at convention that I just loved.  I thought it was so pretty and a great way to show that a few simple punches and some tied ribbon can make a big impression.

     

    I don’t know who the designer was of this card since there is no name or contact info on it (though if you do know, please let me know so I can give proper credit!) but whoever you are, thanks for the great inspiration!

    All the butterflies are from the Papillion Potpourri stamp set and the main butterfly was punched using the new butterfly punch.  Yes, I know what is going on my Christmas and Birthday wish list!  I just love the versatility I see in this stamp set and punch.  Does anyone really miss the old butterfly punch?  🙂

    Anyway, hope you enjoyed this non-Christmas inspiration.  I’ll be back again with more Christmas cards soon!


    PS – Ready for the new Stampin’ Trimmer?

    I just want to make sure everyone had heard… Stampin’ Up! is finally ready with their new and very improved paper trimmer.  It is available for demonstrators to preorder now and will be available for all orders starting in November.  So get your wish lists ready!

    If you have any questions about the trimmer and why it is so awesome, let me know and I can fill you in.  I got to play with one at Convention and have been impatiently waiting ever since :).

  • Peek-a-boo Emboss Resist with Raining Flowers

    Oops, I was so focused on getting the first week of my 12 weeks of Christmas newsletter ready that I totally got behind and forgot to get this post up! Well, I’m fixing that now.  (and if you want to get exclusive holiday ideas sent to your inbox, just make sure you are on my mailing list and you will be all set!  And can I just say I LOVE the first project…. soooo elegant. Smile)

    This is another fun idea for how to use your clear embossing powders.  I don’t know what the “official” name for this technique is called – so I’m going to call it Peek-a-boo Emboss Resist.

     

    imageTo get this effect, you want to find some fun pattern of designer paper and stamp your SOLID stamp image (like this flower from the Raining Flowers stamp set) onto the paper with Versamark ink.  Cover with clear embossing powder and heat with your heat gun.

    Now, use your brayer to run a dark color over your designer paper until you can’t see the paper’s pattern any more.  The embossed areas will resist the ink (you can take a tissue and wipe off any extra ink that is trying to stick around).  So, your pattern will show through the inked area and “peek-a-boo” through!

    I will say, the hardest part is picking what pattern to show under your stamped image… at least for me. Smile  I had to hold up paper patterns and stamp images to my mom to decide what to try out for this card and so, thanks to her for this card!

    This was one of the cards we made for my Awesome Embossing class.  I’m thinking of putting this class together as an online class.  So, let me know if you would like to see this as an online class and I’ll make sure to put it together to share!

  • Fun Pumpkin Halloween Card with Jack of All Trades

    Alright, I’m starting to get into the fall and Halloween spirit… if you follow my Facebook fan page, you’ll have seen that I have been debating whether to jump into the Halloween project bandwagon but everyone’s enthusiasm for these cute projects has convinced me.  So, don’t be surprised to see more Halloween treats posted here over the next few weeks! 🙂

    But in the meantime, I wanted to share this swap I got at convention that I just LOVE!  From the colors to the embossed and sanded Core’dinations cardstock to the fun jack-o-lantern, it just made me smile.

    card created by Pam Zimmerman

    This card uses the Jack of All Trades stamp set to create the pumpkins and even includes the witches hat!  (I had to double check because it was so perfect).  But I really like the added touch of the Woodgrain embossed Early Espresso core’dinations cardstock and then a sanded version of the core’dinations cardstock for the modern label punch out with the sentiment.

     

    So now that I’m in the mood for Halloween, I want to hear – what is your style for Halloween projects? Cutesy characters, Gothic designs, or something else?

    Guess its time for me to start creating!

  • Using Ribbon Scraps–The Ribbon Heart Card

    I was stumbling around Pinterest the other day (I don’t browse very often, but am always amazed at the beautiful and creative projects there) and saw a card that completely inspired me!  I saw it and knew it would be perfect to do with the Stitched Satin Ribbon that is out right now (and available FREE with the Back to Spool promo too!)  It is all about cutting out your favorite shape – in this case a heart from the Hearts Framelits pack – and adhering your ribbon scraps to the back of the shape:

     

     

    The card I saw was by Diane Zechman and used different sizes and styles of ribbon scraps; and really, you could repeat this idea with any variety of shapes, colors, and sizes and it would look great!  Plus it is perfect for those of us who see a piece of ribbon that is more than an inch long and feel like it would be wasteful to just throw it away. 🙂  So, here is what we can do with those pieces!

    A couple tips for this card:

    1.  If you are going to do the doodle/dashes around your shape, draw those on before you run your cardstock through an embossing folder.  So much easier and you don’t have to deal with the texture messing up your pen lines.

    2.  Run your tape runner around the edge of your shape to help adhere your ribbon down.  I found that easier than trying to guess where on the ribbon to put the adhesive and it make the ribbon more taut across the punchout area.

    3.  If you are going to use dimensionals to raise up your embossed cardstock layer, add some dimensionals around your punchout opening.  This helps hold down your ribbon as well as adds some stability to your open area.

     

    So, I hope you enjoyed this idea as much as I did.  If you try it out, I’d love to see what you come up with!  Leave a comment with a link to your sample or post it on my Facebook page to share you creative work!

    And if you love this ribbon as much as I do, get it FREE with any order of $40 or more… in fact get 2 spools with an $80 order, 3 spools with an $120 order…. you get the idea. 🙂

  • Another Fresh Vintage Faux Tiled Card

    As I’ve been cleaning up my craft room and trying to clear out scraps and the little hodge-podge of items I’ve stamped or cut for a project and then later decided I didn’t want to us them; and in the process I came across more of my Faux Tiling samples.

    faux tiled thank you card

     

    I had scored and stamped the Whisper White paper when I was trying to decide on a design for a class a couple months ago and though I decided to go with the diagonally scored version, I couldn’t let this go to waste!  Just had to add a sentiment from the Just Believe stamp set, a couple punches (word window and modern label), and some scrap Basic Black 1/8” Taffeta ribbon.

    I can’t decide which version I like better, todays card or the original version.  What do you think?  Diagonal scoring or square with the pretty sentiment?

  • Happy Halloween To You

    Well, the calendar says it’s October 31st and so that means it is officially Halloween!  And so whether today holds parties, trick-or-treating, pumpkins, or just hanging out at home; I wanted to wish you a happy and safe Halloween!

    For today’s card, I wanted to get some good time in with this Frightful Sight designer series paper.  See, this is one of those paper packs that I thought was super cute and just my style for Halloween – and then I let it sit on my shelf for months!  Can anyone relate to that?  (Please, someone say yes!)

    Anyway, I realized that Halloween was almost here and so I grabbed my paper and started playing around.  The basic layout of this card was from a sketch my mom shared with me years ago but I think it still holds up.  I sponged the edges of just about everything with Basic Grey ink to help give it a dirty/spooky feel and I especially love how it turned out on the cat.  The pumpkin was made by taking a 1” circle punch and punching out two circles.  I trimmed one down into an oval and then cut the second in half to glue behind the first “circle”.  I finished it off with some scrap Always Artichoke cardstock to make the stem.  Pop a few pieces up on dimensionals and add a Basic Grey corduroy button (currently available for a steal on the clearance rack) and there you go!

    So from our house to yours:

    Have a Spooky, Fun, and Happy Halloween!
