This image is from the set Today and Every Day” found on page 168 of the big catalog. I used the new black & white bakers twine with the new white satin ribbon and colored the image in with Blendabilities. The DSP is Back to Black also found in the big catalog. I am very happy with the way this turned out. What do you think?
This is one of the single stamps that SU is featuring in the Big catalog. I embossed it in white craft ink and then colored it in with our White Stampin’ Chalk Marker found on page 211 in the big catalog. I think it gives it a realistic look! I used the Basic Hodgpodge Clips on page 209 and the Strawberry Slush Thick bakers twine. The DSP is from the All Abloom paper stack.
This set called ‘Amazing Birthday’ is another set that we got FREE at convention. It is so versatile. You can use either punches or framelits with this card. I love the sentiments. If you are one of those crafters that surf the net for ideas, then I am sure you have seen a ton of cards made with this set. The DSP is from All Abloom paper stacks found on page 185.
I wanted to purchase this set right from the beginning but I knew it was one of the sets that SU was giving us FREE at convention so I held off. I have seen so many beautiful cards made with this set. You can find it on page 164 in the big catalog. I used Dazzling Details on the flower and punches on both the butterfly and flower. Great set!
I love this stamp set call ‘Today & Everyday” found on page 168 in the big catalog. It is a great set to use your Blendabilities on. In fact, at convention, SU used this exact image to show Demos how to use the blendabilities. Mo, who wasn’t that enthused with them, after using them at convention with this stamp, she now loves them. As I have said before, there is a bit of a learning curve using them but once you do, it is awesome. The DSP I used on this card is Flashback.
I used crystal effects on this flower after I colored it with the Blendabilites. I really like the way it came out. This is another single stamp called Blended Bloom and can be found on page 167 in the catalog. This is a great stamp for learninghow to use the blendabilities. I also used the new washi tape Beach House found on page 190. So many beautiful things in the catalog. If you don’t have a catalog and want one, contact me here.
This is another card we made at club meeting. The DSP is the specialty paper ‘Typeset’ on page 184 in the catalog and the stamp is another single called Snapshot! We used blendabilities on the camera. This is one of 5 single stamps that were given to all attendees at convention. I already had one so I swapped this out with Mo an I took hers, she had the rocker that said ‘You Rock”.
This was one of the cards we made at the Friday night club. I love the new in-colors Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey. The stamp is a single in the catalog called Bloom for You. We have the matching punches for this card.
I colored this card with the new blendas that won’t be available to the public until August 1st. The colors I used here are Melon Mambo, Night of Navy, and Old Olive. I did use this card as a swap at convention. I actually had made so many cards for my classes and clubs that I had several 1 only cards to swap. I will be posting some others also.
Well right about now we are settled in our hotel and enjoying what SU has in store for us. Conventions are soooo much fun. If you have never been you are really missing out. I am going to try and post some events from convention every day so you can see how things roll here.
This card I created for Lyssa’s ‘Convention Quality Swap’ that is lheld every year at both convention and Leadership. One of my faves! She usually have 5-6 groups of 20 people in each group trading swaps. However, it has become very overwhelming for her and everyone is only allowed to enter one group. This year to make it easier on her she changed it to 15 people in each group. I might add that she swaps in every group. Whew…that’s a lot of card making. I am in group #3 and here is mine:
You know how I love vintage. Well, naturally I had to enter the “Very Vintage Swap” and this is the card I created for that swap. I had to make 15 of these which wasn’t bad, but still a lot of FUN work.
I had to make 25 of this card for a swap at convention. Actually, after the cocktail party on Wednesday evening a group of us that are staying at the Hilton are doing a fun swap in our PJs. This is always so much fun.
Anyway there are 25 of us and Mo and I have been busy making swaps, although this is the only one that I had to make 25 of. I never realized when I started to create this card that it was going to take me 3 days to complete 25. With all the punching, framelits, stamping, embossing, and embellishments, I was done in. Have got to seriously re-think when I create swaps how many I have to make before I commit to a design. Won’t make that mistake again! LOL
This stamp set is another hostess set called Nuts About You. We made this card at our Friday night hostess club. I used our Fringe scissors on the grass and added banners to the top. Hope you like it!
I got the idea for this from a video posted on the Stampin’ Connection by Linda Bauwin. I think it is so stinkin’ cute! I used our new incolors and the stamp set Work of Art. The flower is made from the new Fun Flower Punch.
I love the vintage technique and it really suited this Hostess stamp set, found on page 240 of the catalog. The set contains 11 stamps with beautiful images and lovely verses. You can get this set as one of your benefits when holding a workshop or a book party. In addition, if you are a hostess in one of my clubs you can also get this set. Contact me HERE to find out how.
The sentiment and image are from Timeless Talk, and the DSP is Modern Medley both from the Big catalog. I used the Word bubbles framelits, found on page 36 of the Occasions catalog for the sentiment.
This is one of our single stamps in the Occasions Catalog on page 20. I stamped the image with Stazon Black ink on watercolor paper and colored with our markers and aqua painters. Popped it up on dimensionals and layered on Wisteria Wonder DSP.
This card was made with the Geometrical set found on page 26 in the Occasions catalog along with the Triangle punch. I used the 1″ circle punch for the ice cream. I got the idea for this card from Paper Crafters’ Library. I changed it around a bit by adding the DSP and the sentiment. Hope you like it!
We made these little Easter treats at Stamp camp and hostess club. I used the new Scalloped tag punch and covered the nuggets with In-color designer series paper. The bunny image is from Storybook Friends. Just the right size for classroom friends or co-workers.
To make, cut the card stock at 2″ X 8 1/2″ and score from each end at 3 1/2″. Punch both ends with the Scallop Tag Topper punch and thread ribbon through holes. Decorate front of treat holders with something Easter. Wrap the nuggets with DSP cut at 1″ X 3″. Adhere with glue dots. Easy peasy!
Doesn’t the background on this card look like the old ceiling tiles? I made this with the Silver foil card stock and the Beautiful Barougue Embossing folder. I embossed the image on Shimmery white card stock with White craft ink. I spritzed the image with clear water and dropped coastal cabana ink refill into the image with my aqua painter. When it hits the water it disburses into the most beautiful watercolor technique. I love the effect, how about you?
Okay, I am working a little behind in my “This and That journal” (found on page 19 of the Occasions catalog), for our Disney Cruise because I have not rec’d all the pictures yet from everyone’s cameras. This journal is perfect size for a special trip or vacation that you may want to keep all together for those wonderful family memories.
Wednesday night was Pirate night on the ship and it was so much fun dressing up for this. If you remember Johnny Depp with the hat and dreadlocks, I actually purchased his headgear from the Disney Store online before our trip for Dad. Chris made his own costume and it was awesome! My son-in-law Mat looked just like a pirate with the eye patch.
This is another card that I photographed in the sun but I think you got the picture, right? It is from the stamp set Language of Love found on page 25 of the mini and the DSP I used is from the In-Colors DSP Stack found on page 141 of the big catalog. We made this at last night hostess club.
This stamp is a single stamp found on page 20 of the Occasions mini called “Blessed Easter”. However, I opted to use just the flowers and mask out the sentiment on this card. Easy to do. If you want to learn techniques like this you can contact me HERE. I also used the Banner Framelits found on page 27.
This is another card we made at one of my hostess clubs. It is made with the presents from the Holiday catalog but instead of using Christmas colors I used it as a birthday card. The DSP is called Birthday Basics and can be found in the Big catalog.
This is a fun way to create a card in a matter of minutes using our punches. The stamp set can be found in the Big catalog on page 85 called Polka Dot Pieces. I used both our red and silver glimmer paper and the Thinlits Label Card #133479. The embossing folder is called Pretty Print.
I must apologize for the beautiful sun coming in the window in my craft room this morning and ruining my sample picture. Although, I love the sun and is the main reason I moved South. I wanted to live in a place where the sun shines every day. We chose to live in Mount Pleasant, SC and have never regretted moving here.
I created this card with the embossing Folder, Arrows Textured Impressions, found on page 26 of the new mini, and I used the DSP Fresh Prints on page 33. The stamps and the framelits you can find on page 18 and can be purchased as a bundle saving you 15% when you buy them together.
I love this stamp set called “Love you More”. It is so stinkin’ cute. This is one of the cards we made in my hostess clubs this month. I used Quatrafancy DSP, Summer Starfruit, Strawberry Slush, and Midnight Muse. If you would like to be part of one of my clubs contant me HERE.
Hey all, Sarah Webb here! I have been a product designer at Stampin’ Up! for a little over six months, now. When I started working here back in March, my first assignments were for the annual catalog 2014.
These are some of the cards that were created for our Downline/ Sideline Shoe box Swap this past weekend. These cards were created by Patty Biggerstaff, Maureen Leeper and Chelle Naron. So much talent! Don’t you just love them? There were several others that I will post another day. It was a pot luck and the food was outstanding. Not only can these ladies create works of art but they can cook too! Patty Biggerstaff offered her house to hold this event with 15 ladies all taking part in the swap.
It is such awesome fun to get together, stamp and share ideas with a bunch of ladies who all love what we do. If this sounds like the perfect job, believe me, it is. You can join my team and start your own business. Contact me here to learn more.
I love this little cardinal from the Hostess set “Warmth and Wonder” in the Holiday catalog. These ornaments are made from the framelits released last Christmas. I covered them with washi tape. You can do so much with that tape. I love, love, love it! Our Holiday catalog has both Halloween/Fall and Christmas Washi Tape. Call me you get yours.
I used the stamp set Wetlands again to create this card. I took a class in Savannah a couple of years ago with the famous Michelle Zindorf for brayering and now I hardly ever use my brayer. So, I thought it was time to get it out. I love this technique and should use it more often.
I used the Expressions Thinlits to make this card. You can find them on page 36 of the Holiday catalog. This set has three different sentiments. A little tip on how to use these: Place the cutting plate on the magnetic platform (or tab 2 of the regular platform) and then add your card stock or paper. Add two (2) pieces of wax paper and then the thinlit. Cover with the cutting pad and run through the machine. Easy peasy! If you do have a problem removing the fine little letters you can use your paper piercer through the little holes in the thinlit. If you need more information contact me HERE.
This card was created with the set gorgeous grunge and the designer paper Etcetera. The sentiment is from Delightful dozen. All of these products can be found in the Big Catalog.
