Folded Frames Tutorial & On Stage

As I’m typing this up I’m  getting ready for my Shoe box swap and the first ever Stampin’ Up! On Stage event. Whoo hoo! There isn’t anything I enjoy more than getting together with other stampers and stamping. And this event is sure to be a ton of fun!

Would you like to see what I’ll be sharing at my Shoe box Swap? This card highlights the Folded Frame technique and while it looks difficult it really isn’t – which is always the type of technique I love!

From Land to Sea Folded Frame OnStage Sherrie Shoebox Swap 2015

This card was created using our From Land to Sea stamp set (138720/139361) found on page 83 in the Annual Catalog. I love anything water and turtles so that is where I started when creating this card. (Remember those pet turtles that we had and the little plastic dish with the palm tree to keep them in? Oops I’m probably dating myself, oh well my love affair with turtles started with my first pet turtle.)

Want to know how I made this Folded Frame? Well you’re in luck – I’ve done a quick video tutorial on Folded Frames for you so you can make them too!

So what do you think? Why not give it a try and create your own Folded Frame out of your favorite Designer Series Paper?

Supplies:

Stamp Set: From Land to Sea (138720/139361), Something to Say (134177/134180) and World Map (130342/130345)

Inks: Lost Lagoon (133644), Mossy Meadow (133645), and Soft Suede Classic Ink (126978)

Paper: 2014-2016 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack (138433), Lost Lagoon (133679), Mossy Meadow (133676), and Whisper White card stock (100730)

Accessories: 1/8″ Mini Brads (122941), Blender Pen (102845), Simply Scored Tool (122334) and Diagonal Score Plate (125886) , Washi Tape Label (138296) and Word Window Punches (119857), Paper Piercer (126189) and Stampin’ Pierce Mat (126199)

Joyful Season

One of the things that I enjoy doing during the winter is watching the bird feeder outside my dining room window, especially when it snows.  And here in the North Georgia Mountains Cardinals are regular visitors. When I was a child in Wisconsin that flash of red was something that we didn’t see often so Cardinals always bring a smile to my face no mater what season so the Joyful Season stamp set was on my list!  And since it is a two-step stamp set this little guy gives you lots of stamping choices.

Check out these great cards using the set that I got in a swap. This first card was given to me by Sandy and uses our new  In Color Ribbon choice, Mossy Meadow (138419) along with the popular Home for Christmas Enamel Dots (140536).

Joyful Season 2015 Holiday Catalog Swap (1)

This second card is from Joann and has a more elegant feel, while Sandy’s feels more down home or country. That is part of what I love about our products – use the same stamp sets, but choose different colors of products and you’ve got a totally different feel.

Joyful Season 2015 Holiday Catalog Swap (2)

I love the Home for Christmas Designer Buttons button (139639) that highlights the great bow made with our Bow Builder Punch (137414).

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Joyful Season (139770)

Thankful Forest Friends

Need a fun set for the fall? Why not check out the Thankful Forest Friends. It contains a lot of fun images that can be used all kinds of  ways and different occasions since it contains animals.

Thankful Forest Friends Holiday Catalog Swap 2015 (2)

Today’s card was given to me by Tanisha and makes a great card for someone special. She used the Into the Woods Designer Series Paper for the banner on this card and used the same colors and her Stampin’ Write Markers when she colored the sentiment.

Color coordination is one of the things that I love about Stampin’ Up! It makes life so much easier when you don’t have to think about coordination. (And I quickly found I saved a lot of money when I started using Stampin’ Up! products compared to when I shopped at those big box stores with coupons since everything works together.)

I love the texture of this card that was created with the Wood Grain Embossing Folder. And the Into the Woods 3/8″ Cotton Ribbon adds even more texture. If you haven’t felt this ribbon, it’s soft and ties wonderfully.

Supplies:

Stamp Set:Thankful Forest Friends (139720/139723)

Paper: Into the Woods Deisgner Series Paper (139586), Soft Suede (115318), Daffodil Delight (119683), and Whisper White Card stock (100730)

Accessories: Soft Suede, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Write Markers, Into the Woods 3/8″ Cotton Ribbon (139612), Paper Piercer (126189) and Stampin’ Pierce Mat (126199), Oval Collections Framelit Dies (129381), and Wood Grain Embossing Folder (127821)
