Painted Poppies & More

Today’s cards are swaps that my team members brought to share at our January Team Meeting. I always enjoy seeing what they are crafting since everyone’s styles can be so different and well, it’s just fun to share.

These first two cards use the Painted Poppies stamp set (151599) and products from the Peaceful Poppies Suite (153938). This first card shows off the mirror image effect you can create with the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper (151324). When you cut the sheet into 4″ sections and then cut them in half again, you match up the mirror images. How cool is that?

This next card uses a Crossover Gate Fold to show off the suite of products.

If you love these cards and the Suite of products you may want to check out my February Class schedule and my Peaceful Poppies Class. Not only will you get a class with me when you’ll learn how to use the products, you’ll also receive great products so you can go home and immediately start stamping! CLICK HERE to see my Calendar of Events and learn more about my classes, both live and Kits to Go.

Here is another fancy fold, this time a Double Door fold using the Stitched Be Mine Dies (148527) from the Annual Catalog.

It’s been teamed up with the lovely From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper (151189) and a sentiment from the Dandelion Wishes stamp set (151345).

And finally last, but not least a lovely card using the Daisy Lane stamp set (149325) and coordinating Daisy Punches (143713 and 149517).

Done in Cherry Cobbler and Blushing Bride it uses our Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack (149615) for the small gingham background. It’s soft and sweet and perfect to send to a friend.

I feel really blessed to have such a great group of stampers and we always have the best time together sharing and stamping.

Did you know right now is a great time to purchase a starter kit? It’s the best deal in the catalog and during Sale-a-bration (until March 31st) not only will you get to choose $125 in product, an addition FREE stamp set of your choice, but you’ll also receive a Mini Paper Cutter and Designer Series Sampler.

Under My Umbrella

It’s been another rainy day here in North Georgia, but while we have gotten almost another inch of rain today and over 6 inches already this month, we’ve been fairly lucky. As I was walking past my windows I just noticed all the mist across the fields, it was so pretty I thought I’d share a picture with you tonight.

All this rain makes me feel like its a fitting time to share some of the swaps I received using the Under My Umbrella Bundle of products that you can find in our January – June 2020 Mini Catalog on page 42.

This stamp set and it’s coordinating punch are great for all kind of occasions – check out the sentiments.

Cute right? And it has a coordinating punch too which is great for quick and easy projects.

Here are a couple of fun cards made with the bundle This first one is a fancy fold done in Gorgeous Grape.

And this second card uses our Petal Pink – so soft and pretty when teamed up with the So Saffron and Soft Suede.

This card uses a technique that we call paper piecing. Stamp your image onto the Designer Series Paper of your choice, in this case it’s the Bird Ballard (149592) from the Annual Catalog, then cut or punch out.

And finally this bright and bold card done with a wash of color for it’s back drop.

The umbrella has been done with paper piecing again, but this time using the See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper (149443). Aren’t techniques like this simply great? And how different this card looks from the one above it!

Here are a few more ideas for you using this bundle.

Enjoy! Then stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a tutorial with you for this months #imbringingbirthdaysback card.

Bonanza Buddies

After watching the news last night and the horrible wild fires in Australia it got me thinking about all the people effected, the Australian Zoo, the late Steve Irwin, and his families work to save the animals. My daughter’s love of crocodiles began with the Crocodile Hunter as a child and she still can’t pass up an opportunity to see them. Anyhow I bet you wonder where I’m going with this, right? Well she had me watching the latest TV show (sorry I can’t remember what it was called) over Christmas break with her, which got me thinking about Koala Bears which naturally made me think of this adorable set in our January-June 2020 Mini Catalog filled with animal images.

I know that’s the long way around, it’s funny how we connect things in our thoughts, but I wanted to share this card with you today highlighting this little koala bear. Its such a fun card. I received in my recent swap and it shows just how cute this stamp set is!

The set coordinates with a set of dies that cut out the Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper too in addition to the stamped images, fun right?

In fact there is a whole Suite of Products that is build around this stamp set – filled with tons of fun products.

Why not check it out?

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Bonanza Buddies (*151567)

Inks: Gorgeous Grape (147099/147164), Smoky Slate (147113/131159) and Basic Gray Classic Ink (149165/149166)

Dressed to Impress & My Technique Book

Yesterday I shared a fun card that I made with you inspired by a demonstration at OnStage. (You can see my post HERE sharing videos and PDF for this project.)

Today I wanted to share my Technique Book with you.

When I started stamping I kept every card I made that used a technique so that I could remember how I created it. Not exactly the point of making a card, right? We should be sending them out!

So, this book is designed as a companion to my Classes and Team Training. It uses our Memories & More 6″ x 8″ Album and pages so it allows you to keep a little sample of the technique along with step by step instructions for that technique all in one handy place – So you can reach for them easily! Now I send those cards instead of hanging on to them and you can too!

Here is the Reverse Die Cutting Technique Page and assembly instructions PDF for this project, so you can see how it looks and give it a try.

Reverse Die Cutting Technique Book PDF

Reverse Die Cutting Technique Instructions PDF

I’m BIG on instructions so I include them with every Class I do, whether it is a LIVE event or KIT to GO Class. And with your first Class/and order album and page order I send you a PDF with the cover labels so you can decorate your Technique Album as desired using your favorite technique.

Enjoy!

Stop back by next week when I’ll be sharing my organizational items for the NEW Mini Catalog!

Supplies:

Paper: Whisper White Card stock (100730)

Accessories: Basic Black 6″ x 8″ Album (144203) and Variety Pack 6″ x 8″ Photo Pocket Pages (144205)
