The Convention Swap that Made Me Need the Alphabet Rotary Stamp
~~ LAST DAY to Shop the Holiday Extravaganza ~~
~~ Join Stampin’ Up with me & pick out $125 in any catalog or sale items to receive for only $74.25!~~
With all the hub bub about the Online Extravaganza, I was looking through the list and seeing the things I loved and the items I totally wanted to grab. For example, the Alphabet Rotary Stamp. I had seen it in the past and didn’t think much of it, but now that it is 50% off Today ONLY, I thought I would share the card that got me super excited about it.
This was a convention display board card by Jeanna Bohanon that I received as a swap card this last summer. I’ve totally been meaning to share it but thought now would be a great time. Can’t we all use a little sunny rainbow in our day? I also love how complicated it looks, but how simple it is to create! My kind of card!
Tips for making this card:
- Heat emboss your image (in this case the LOVE from Seasonally Scattered) with white embossing powder. Then do some quick coloring with your Stampin’ Write markers over the top of the embossing powder. The dye-based ink will not stick to the embossed image, letting the white show through.
- Add your own sentiment touch by using the Alphabet Rotary stamp! It gives you 13 spaces for numbers, letters, or characters including these cute hearts. You can add spaces too so you could make it be more than one word. It is a perfect way to add your own touch to sentiments on your card.
- Add some scraps from your craft table, like some Black Chevron Ribbon (or pick one of the colors that is on sale today for 50% off too!), some Brights buttons, twine, or even that cute 1/8” Silver Taffeta ribbon.
I can’t wait to play with my rotary stamp and have fun making lots of customized sentiments for my cards and scrapbooking!

Clean and Simple Card using Amazing Birthday–but NOT a Birthday Card!
Alright, I’m back with more of the cards from the 2014 Stampin’ Up convention display board. Today was one of my favorite cards because it was so clean and simple but I loved the color combination because it really makes an impact.
Notes about this card
- The thing that is cool about this stamp from the Amazing Birthday stamp set is that it has all these stacked elements in one stamp, so it is perfect for using your markers to color each part differently. But if you are in a hurry, stamp the whole thing in one color (like Bermuda Bay here) and then stamp another copy on scratch paper using a different color and cut out select sections to adhere over the top:Use the sun image from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set to create a background that emphasizes the word Amazing. Heat emboss with silver embossing powder for shine and texture that stands out in real life.
- Ask anyone who was with me at convention, I was the goofball who couldn’t stop talking about the new mini stapler that is coming out from Stampin’ Up. I loved the idea of having an easy handheld stapler to add something fun and different. I really like using it to hold down ribbon run through the top of the Scallop Tag Topper punch. I will tell you the Stampin’ Up stapler size is different than the Tim Holtz stapler. So you will different mini staple size options if you end up with both.
And I have to say, I really love this color combination – Bermuda Bay/Basic Grey/Very Vanilla! Great for any type of card you need. Don’t be surprised if you see more of this combo from me in the future. Oh, and even better – the Bermuda Bay ink pad is on the weekly deals this week! In fact, there are 3 ink pads on the weekly deals this week. So it is a great time to supplement your ink collection. Plus embossing folders and a set of framelits, there is lots of fun to be had.
Check out what’s new with the weekly deals here:

Check back tomorrow when the Fun n’ Crafty team will be doing a great blog hop giving you lots of ideas for using your Big Shot on your projects! See you then!

Pretty Snowflake Fun with Vellum
I recently held my Vellum technique class and one of the favorites from the class was this holiday card:
One of my favorite things that I love to do with vellum is run it through the BigShot because it makes the coolest bright white image over the frosted white of the vellum cardstock. Then I love sponging on the back side of my embossed image to add a pop of color.
Turns out it is perfect for using with the Northern Flurries embossing folder for snowy snowflakes. Though next time I think I would add a bit of glitter and sparkle to the front of the card for an extra magical touch!
In this example, I attached a piece of embossed vellum to the top of a Whisper White cardbase with it only being adhered to the left edge of the card front. By only adhering it to one side, the vellum pops up just a little and gives you a softer look.
Project Supplies Used
- Best of Snow stamp set
- Northern Flurries embossing folder
- Bracket Label punch
- Silver 1/8” ribbon
- Winter Frost designer paper pad
- Vellum cardstock
- Smokey Slate & Pool Party Ink
So give it a try and let me know what you think!
