The Inked Botanicals Suite Collection (161172) is a lot of fun to work with and with it packaged in a coordinating Suite Stampin’ Up! has given us a one stop shopping experience too.
So today’s cards all use the products from this Suite. This first card is simple stamping –
The card has been stamped using Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry and Lost Lagoon Classic Inks that have been stamped off first before stamping onto the card front to create a softer color. The sentiment has been stamped onto a strip of Very Vanilla card stock and then punched out using the Tiled Punch Pack (161167) and then layered over a bit of the Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon (161171). You’ll love this ribbon it ties nicely and is soft.
Yesterday was a crazy kind of day and so I didn’t get to share with you my weekly tutorial, but with the rain coming in again this afternoon it is a great time to spend a little time crafting! So here you go.
Today’s card uses the Bee Mine Suite and is quick and easy to create since it uses punches. The adorable Bee Builder Punch (162553) makes creating this fun little bee quick and easy and the 2″ Circle Punch (Online Exclusive 133782) will make your stamping so easy too. I love sentiments that are punched out like this since they make everyone successful. I know as a beginner stampers I loved punches since if I needed to stamp again I didn’t have to start all over again and could just do the one image or sentiment.
Here is a video tutorial for you
And of course a PDF that you can print that even contains the YouTube Link for easy reference!
with it’s metallic finish. If you haven’t seen this trim in person it really is quite cool and the dies in this bundle give you a quick and easy way to weave through the paper like on this card.
If you haven’t seen this suite before why not stop by my Online Store today and check it out? During Sale-a-bration when you purchase this Suite you’ll be able to choose from our FREE Sale-a-bration products too!
Here is North Georgia spring is always heralded in with our Dogwood trees that dot the landscapes and woods. They never fail to impress either and so I expect that if you love them too you’ll enjoy creating with the Detailed Dogwood (Sale-a-bration 162953).
Once again this stamp set is an image only set so that you can team it up with your favorite sentiment as you create. Here are a couple of cards that use this lovely set. This first card uses the soft Bubble Bath and have teamed it up with Lemon Lime Twist. The Watercolor Painted was used to color the images to create a quick and easy wash of color.
Don’t you love how color impacts our creations? Something as simple as a color choice makes a project feel so different even when you use the same stamp sets allowing you to make it your own.
Do you love dogs? I know I do. I can’t remember a time that a dog wasn’t apart of our family someone we loved. From my first little pup at age 4 to our two current little babies, dogs hold a special place in my heart. So when I saw the Doggone Friendly Stamp (162729) I knew it would be part of my shopping list.
Today I’m going to share some fun cards from my swap that use this stamp in different ways. I like the fact that this stamp has it all and we can highlight one or all of our sweet faces! This first card does just that.
The card front was stamped in Pebbled Path and then circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) was used to cut out the image desired. The pup has been colored and highlighted and then layered onto a larger circle of Misty Moonlight. This layered shape covers the hole that was created. And how about this next card that uses a quick pop of color on their bandanas with our Stampin’ Blends to draw your eye?
This stamped image was stamped Pecan Pie once and then cut into three sections at 1 1/2″, 2 1/8″ to decorate the panels. So simple but it packs a wow in shades of brown.
Three cards, three totally different looks! It’s one of my favorite things about paper crafting, while we start with the same supplies we can create a project that is our.
On a personal note I thought I’d share a quick pic of my pups. Kona and Hana who are now 21 weeks old and just got their first grooming.
We named them after two towns we were able to visit on vacation recently. They are such sweet little faces, don’t you think? Why not leave me a comment and tell me what kind of pup you have?
Love the zoo and all the animals? Have a little tiger of your own, or just love cute? The Jungle Pals Stamp Set (Sale-a-bration 162950) that you can earn during Sale-a-bration with a qualifying order is just too cute!
I love the fact that this stamp set contains images only so you can team it up with the sentiment set of your choice or even our little Mini Alphabet Dies (162934) like this first card does.
And this next card uses the neutral side of the Just Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper (162828) as a backdrop and to set the color pallet. The cute little animals are simply stamped and then the vine and grass Dies add a bit of bit of texture and color.
If you love a good trip to the zoo, why not check out these Sale-a-bration options in my Online Store that you can earn with a qualifying purchase. And of course if you’d like to earn more FREE things on your shopping list why not host a private party? Contact me today to set up a date and time to gather with your friends!
I’ve got another fun tutorial for you today using the Bee Mine Suite Collection (162560). This time it is a treat, containing something sweet! I’ve got my Team Winter Retreat this weekend and wanted to make something special to put on their tables today for those spending the weekend. So here is what I came up with.
I cased this layout from the Mini Catalog – I love how the samples can inspire us, don’t you? I simply changed it up slightly to suit my needs and voila! A fun little candy bar slider. When I found this candy bar at my local Aldi during the holidays I knew it would be perfect as a little treat using the Bee My Valentine Bundle (162554) so in the cart it went.
And of course I wanted to have a little signature panel for the back of the slider so a little message could be written too. Fun!
Gifts like this is one of the reason I started stamping. I love to make fun items to gift to family and friends and this makes it easy to do and cost effective too! Something that was helpful when my children were young and I need to make a class set.
Want to see how I made this Candy Bar Slider? I’ve got a video tutorial for you today along with the PDF which will have a complete supply list, YouTube Link so you can print it off and go back to it easily, along with step by step instructions too.
Yesterday I shared a card that we made during an OnStage@Home event. So today I thought I’d share the other card we made with a quick little water color technique.
I loved punches when I first started to stamp they always made me feel successful since I didn’t have to stamp the entire card without any mistakes. How about you? Do you love them too? While I eventually build my collection to include dies and the machine I still love the ease and portability of a punch!
Here is a quick video for you showing how we made this card and of course a PDF too.
Today’s card is one that I’ve been wanting to share with you for a while, but it’s been kind of crazy around here with the weather and family so it got delayed. But you’re in luck berceuse I’ll be sharing more tutorials with this Suite. Today’s card was one of our Make n Takes during our November OnStage@Home events and now you can make one too!
Not only is this card quick and easy it’s totally cute with this little bee. And the punch makes it super easy to create a bunch of these.
Here is a quick video sharing how we made this card during the event. Along with a PDF that has a supply list, step by step instructions and measurements too.
Like it? I’ve got several more tutorials for you that I’ve been working on too! So don’t forget to stop back and see them all.
