Another OnStage After Hours Citrus Blooms Tutorial

Posted on by

Yesterday, I shared the lovely watercolor card I made at OnStage in Houston during our After Hours event. Today I’m sharing the second of the three cards.

I love the linear look this card has and the combination of the 2024-2026 In Colors together.

What do you think? Like the color combination too? I love the soft color behind the sentiment we created with our Small Blending Brushes (160518). Here is how we made this card.

You’ll need the following supplies to make this card.

Supplies:

Paper & More

Measurements:

  • Basic White Thick Card stock: Cut 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″; scored at 4 1/4″
  • Peach Pie Cards stock: Cut 1 3/8″ x 3 1/2″
  • Pretty in Pink Card stock: Cut 1 3/8″ x 3 1/2″
  • Petunia Pop Card stock: Cut 1 3/8″ x 3 1/2″
  • Basic White Card stock: Cut 5 1/4″ x 1″
  • Basic White Card stock: Cut 4 3/4″ x 5/8″
  • Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack (Very Vanilla): Cut 12″

Assembly:

  • Stamp the “orange” image onto Peach Pie Card stock using Peach Pie Classic Ink.
  • Stamp the “orange” image onto Pretty in Pink Card stock using Pretty in Pink Classic Ink.
  • Stamp the “orange” image onto Petunia Pop Card stock using Petunia Pop Classic Ink.
  • Adhere the 3 panels to the card front. Adhere the Pretty in Pink panel down first in the center and then space out the other two panels evenly on the right and left sides.
  • Using your Blending Brush add color using Petunia Pop, Peach Pie, and Pretty in Pink onto 1″ strip of Basic White Card stock.
  • Then using Petunia Pop Classic Ink and “diamond” image stamp stamp several times at an diagonal across the center of the strip as shown.
  • Adhere the strip to the card front about 1 inch up from the bottom.
  • Tie the Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine into a large bow and adhere it to the card front. The sentiment from the next step will cover the adhesive.
  • Using your Paper Snips cut a banner onto the right and left ends of the Basic White Card stock strip.
  • Stamp the sentiment “all the love” onto the strip of Basic White on the right end using Peach Pie Classic Ink.
  • Using Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere the sentiment on the the card front.
  • Stamp the inside panel and envelope as desired.

That’s it. Then stop by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing the last card we made that night.

Enjoy!

Crafting with Citrus Blooms at OnStage After Hours

Posted on by

I’ve been wanting to share this bundle with you, but unfortunately it got delayed. So today I’m going to share the lovely little cards that we were able to create during the event in Houston. While I didn’t choose this as my bundle for the event, one of my fellow table mates let me borrow hers.

So over the next few days I’ll be sharing these cards made with the Citrus Blooms Bundle (163295) with you along with how we made them.

This bundle is part of our Mediterranean Blooms Suite (163300). So without further delay here’s today’s card.

This card uses our Water Painters (151298) and our Fluid 100 5×7 Watercolor Paper (149612) to create this soft look. Add more ink to your wash for a bolder look if you prefer, the choice is up to you!

You’ll need the following supplies to make this card.

Supplies:

Paper & More

Measurements:

  • Basic White Thick Card stock: Cut 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″; scored at 4 1/4″
  • Petunia Pop Card stock: Cut 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″
  • Watercolor Paper: Cut (2) 2 1/4″ x 2 1/4″
  • Basic White Card stock: Cut 2 1/2″ x 5/8″
  • Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack (white): Cut 12″
  • 2024-2026 In color Shimmer Gems (Pretty in Pink): 5 assorted

Assembly:

  1. stamp the small “diamond” image using Petunia Pop Classic Ink onto Petunia Pop panel randomly.
  2. Stamp the sentiment “hello” onto strip of Basic White Card stock using StazOn Ink Pad.
  3. Stamp orange image onto Watercolor Paper using Stazon Ink Pad. Repeat on second square.
  4. Using your Water Painter color the images using Lemon Lime Twist and Peach Pie Classic Ink. Allow to dry. (I like to use a clear block as a pallet for my water coloring – simply tap the ink pad onto the clear block to add ink rather than squeezing your ink pad and using the lid)
  5. Adhere the first water colored panel to the Petunia Pop panel tilted it to the left as shown.
  6. Wrap a piece of Baker’s Twine around the panel and tie into a bow. Adjust as desired.
  7. Using your Stampin’ Dimensionals add the second water colored panel to the card front, tilting it to the right.
  8. If needed adjust bow and trim ends of twine then adhere the layered panel to the card front.
  9. Using your Paper Snips trim the ends of the sentiment panel at an angle on both ends.
  10. Adhere sentiment to the card front.
  11. Add Pretty in Pink Shimmer Gems to the card front randomly using your Take Your Pick Tool.
  12. Stamp inside panel and envelope as desired.

That’s it. Then stop by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing the second card that night.

Enjoy!

2024 Annual Catalog Organizational Items – Die Case Inserts

Posted on by

Today I’ll be sharing with you my Die Case Inserts for our coordinating dies. I like the fact that these sit on my shelf with the stamp sets and have the same look. All nice and neat!

If the Die set is large I’ll add a second magnetic sheet to the other side of the case so I have plenty of room.

I simply print these Case Inserts off on Basic White card stock, then trim and insert. Click HERE to learn more about that.

Here are Die Case Inserts for all the Dies found in the 2024 Annual Catalog – If you find an error or there is a problem please let me know.

Here’s My 2024 Annual Catalog Basic Organizational Items

Posted on by

Today I’ve got some wonderful items to help make organizing your craft space easier for you while you’re waiting for those fun new colors and products to arrive. These are items I’ve been using for years and find them really helpful when I’m crafting.

Be sure to add some of our Standard Stamp Cases so that you’re ready to organize your Dies too. I’ll be sharing those PDFs tomorrow.

I’ve done this with each NEW Annual Catalog launch for years (you can find past items by looking under the organization category) and I hope you’ll find them useful too.

First, I’ve created a quick reference for the Designer Series Paper. I like this chart and keep it handy when I’m looking for the colors in the Designer Series Paper. Everything you need is on this one easy chart.

Want a quick way to know what colors you have on the go? I love this purse sized inventory list for keeping my items handy, so I’m sharing it with you. It’s got all of our color families even the two In Color Families. Simply print, score, then fold to create a tri-fold reference chart that you can tuck in your purse. And if you’d like a visual of the color, add a small circle of the card stock for those that you have like I did here with a half inch circle punch above the name. Here is a photo of last years so you can see what I mean with the circles.

Tip: Make sure when you are printing this chart to turn the second side so that it prints upside down. That way both sides will be in the same direction when using.

Labels, Labels, Labels – I love labels and these make things so easy. I like to have everything consistent so with the NEW 2024 Annual Catalog. I have created new labels for my hanging file folders, Refill drawers, daubers, and the bottoms of my Classic Ink Pads.
