Still Stamping With Sue

Happy Birthday Card using the Amazing Life Stamp Set

 

Stampin' Up! is focusing on simple stamping this year. As most of you know, the longer you are a papercrafter, the more you tend to make challenging projects. These challenging projects are definitely WOW's and get tons of accolades. Yet they can be overwhelming for beginner and occasional papercrafters. 

 

With the simple stamping theme in mind, today's project is a birthday card using the Amazing Life Stamp Set, which can be found on page 28 of the Occasions Catalog. My friend, Lisa Schultz, made this card, but she used a different stamp set and different colors. She was kind enough to give me the okay to copy her design.

 

The color scheme is Sahara Sand, Whisper White, Calypso Coral and Bermuda Bay.

 

 

Directions:

Card Base:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Sahara Sand Cardstock, scored at 4 1/4"

First Layer:  3 3/4" x 5" Sahara Sand Cardstock. Place inside the Dot to Dot Embossing Folder and run through the Big Shot.

Second Layer:  Scrap of Calypso Coral Cardstock. Place scalloped Oval Layering Framelit on it and run through the Big Shot. Attach to First Layer with Dimensionals.

Third Layer:  Stamp image in Bermuda Bay Ink on a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock. Place an oval Stitched Shapes Framelit on it and run through the Big Shot.

Fourth Layer:  Stamp sentiment in Bermuda Bay Ink on a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock. Punch out with the Classic Label punch and attach to the Third Layer.

 

Add Wink of Stella to the cake and candle to get some glitz, which never appears in my photographs. The final step is to tie a knot in the Calypso Coral 3/8" Satin Ribbon and attach with a Glue Dot to the Third Layer.

Here a few photographs from the Occasions and Sale-a-Bration Catalog Product Extravaganza last Saturday. These are all members of my team (except for one). They put in so much work to create beautiful displays of different products from the catalogs. And then, there the important helpers at the ordering table. Where would we be without them? I'm bursting with pride that my team members take such active roles at this event. And the best news? There are five new members on my team that signed up on Saturday! Woo hoo!!!

 

 

An update on my friend's son, who was missing. Unfortunately, Corey was found deceased on Sunday morning. Truly an unfortunate and heartbreaking tragedy for the Brown family. Please keep them in your prayers.

 

 

 

Adding a Frame to the Lasting Lily Stamp Set

 

Oh my goodness! I forgot to post these card swaps that I created in December. This was the first time I used the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies found on page 28 of the Occasions Catalog. Making a frame from two of these dies added beautiful detail to these cards.

 

The Lasting Lily Stamp Set is stunning and has a great assortment of different sentiments. This is a free Sale-a-Bration item you can get with a $100 order (before s/h & tax). The color scheme I used was Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Pear Pizzazz and Blushing Bride.

 

 

Directions:

Card Base:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Crumb Cake Cardstock, scored at 4 1/4"

First Layer:  3 5/8" x 5" Blushing Bride Cardstock

Second Layer: 3" x 4 1/2" Very Vanilla Cardstock. Stamp the stem in Pear Pizzazz Ink and the lily in Blushing Bride Ink. Stamp the lily image again and set aside.

Third Layer:  Very Vanilla Cardstock frame created with two Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies put through the Big Shot.

Fourth Layer:  Crumb Cake Cardstock on the scalloped Oval Layering Framelit and put through the Big Shot. Attach with Dimensionals.

Fifth Layer:  Very Vanilla Cardstock on the Oval Layering Framelit and put through the Big Shot. Stamp the sentiment in Crumb Cake Ink.

 

Use Paper Snips to cut out the second lily image. Press a Sponge in the Blushing Bride Ink Pad and brush along the edges of the lily. Attach it with Dimensionals on top of the other lily image. The final touch is to add three Basic Rhinestone Jewels.

Take a morning winter getaway and join me and other demonstrators at this Open House. If you live in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, contact me for the exact location. Note:  this event is not open to any demonstrators who are not on Terri's Inking of You team.

 

 

 

 

(L-R):  Me, Donna, Lisa

Last Sunday, Lisa Schultz and I gave a presentation at the Stamp Share for Leaders event. Donna Griffith, from the Stampin' Up! Home Office, was at the meeting, along with 75 other demonstrators.

 

A former Stampin' Up! demonstrator's son ran away Tuesday evening in Marshalltown, Iowa. The Brown family woke up at 5:30 a.m. Wednesday and discovered Corey wasn’t in his bedroom. Home security video showed him leaving the home the evening before. If you see Corey or know anything about his disappearance, please contact the Marshalltown Police Department. I would appreciate if you would keep this devastated family in your prayers. Thank you!

 

 

Creative Inking Blog Hop - Sharing the Love

 

Welcome to this month's Blog Hop. We are sharing the love this month because Valentine's Day will be here in about a month. It is my favorite holiday of the entire year! My projects are a child's Valentine's Day card and a matching Valentine's Day treat. They are simple enough for children or adults to make. These projects were created with the Hey Love Stamp Set from the 2019 Occasions Catalog.

 

 

The color scheme is Smoky Slate, Whisper White and Blushing Bride. Isn't that skunk stinkin' cute?

 

The Blushing Bride Cardstock is textured with the Subtle Embossing Folder put through the Big Shot.

 

A 3" x 6" Gusseted Cellophane Bag holds more than enough candy for a major sugar high.

 

The back side of the treat holder shows the staple that keeps it securely closed. Complete directions and supplies used for these two projects can be found at the bottom of this blog post.

My Card Swaps using the Incredible Like You Stamp Set

 

Last weekend, I was at a crafting retreat. The project I brought to work on was my Stamp Share for Leaders card swaps. Anyone who has been on a retreat with me knows I am a social person and am easily distracted. So, it is no surprise that I didn't completely finish my swap cards at the retreat. I've been working on them whenever I could this week. I finally finished them last night. All 53 of these are ready to be swapped on Sunday.

 

The color scheme is Soft Sea Foam, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green and Very Vanilla. 

 

I created a spray of flowers and greenery with the images in the Incredible Like You Stamp Set.

 

Directions:

Card Base: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Very Vanilla Cardstock, scored at 4 1/4".

First Layer:  4" x 5 1/4" Flirty Flamingo Cardstock

Second Layer:  3 3/4" x 5" Very Vanilla Cardstock. Stamp the different images. Place the Needlepoint Elements Framelit Die over the images and put it through the Big Shot.

Third Layer:  3/4" x 3 3/4" Very Vanilla Cardstock. Stamp the sentiment in Flirty Flamingo Ink and attach to the Second Layer.

 

The final touches are to add Wink of Stella on the small flowers and attach three Basic Rhinestones. Don't you love the subtle stitching design from the Needlepoint Elements Framelit Die?

Last weekend was also a birthday bonanza for our family. Saturday was our youngest grandgirl's ninth birthday. And, Sunday was our daughter's birthday. Thankfully the retreat wasn't that far from my house, so I could celebrate with both of them. Have a fantastic Friday! Thanks for stopping by my blog today!!!

 

Creating with the Home to Roost Stamp Set - Part 2

 

If you didn't see my first blog post on creating with the Home to Roost Stamp Set, you can view it here. Today's project is a prototype card that I thought about using for a card swap, but decided against it. It uses these new products:

 

1. Home to Roost Stamp Set - Page 11 of Sale-a-Bration Catalog - Free with a $50 order (before s/h & tax).
2. Crackle Paint Background Stamp - Page 44 of Occasions Catalog
3. Gingham Gala 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper - Page 35 of Occasions Catalog
4. Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies - Page 28 of Occasions Catalog
5. Calypso Coral 3/8" Satin Ribbon - Page 25 of Occasions Catalog

 

This color scheme is Gray Granite, Whisper White, Grapefruit Grove and Calypso Coral.

 

Directions:

Card Base: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Gray Granite Cardstock, scored at 4 1/4".

First Layer: 4" x 5 1/4" Whisper White Cardstock. Attach a 2 1/4" x 4" Gingham Gala 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (Grapefruit Grove) to the bottom. Use Gray Granite Ink on the Crackle Paint Background Stamp and press onto the First Layer. Wrap 5" of the Calypso Coral 3/8" Satin Ribbon around this.

Second Layer: 2 7/8" x 4 1/8" Gray Granite Cardstock

Third Layer: Whisper White Cardstock on the Rectangle Stitched Framelit Die and put it through the Big Shot. Use Gray Granite Ink for the rooster image. Use Gray Granite Ink for the dried weeds image, but stamp off once on scratch paper for a lighter image.

Sentiment:  Scrap of Whisper White Cardstock. Stamp sentiment in Calypso Coral Ink and punch out with the Tailored Tag Punch. Attach to a scrap piece of Calypso Coral Cardstock. Use Paper Snips to cut a 1/8" border from the Calypso Coral Cardstock. Attach to the Third Layer with Dimensionals.

 

 

I love using the Rectangle Stitched Framelit Dies on my project. It amazes me how the little stitching line adds the right amount of detail.
