Turtle Friends

Posted on by

I love turtles and find them fascinating, always looking for their little heads peeking out of the water or sunning themselves on the log when at a pond. I think this love for turtles was instilled in me with my first pet turtle as a young child. Remember, the little turtles that you placed in the clear plastic “pond” with a little palm tree in the middle? I’m afraid my little guy tended to be an escape artist. lol

So when I saw the Turtle Friend Bundle (155819) I immediately fell in love with it’s cute images and all occasions sentiments.

The fact that the bundle includes a punch makes it quick and easy to use too! Check out these projects made with the bundle. This first card done in Bumblebee and Old Olive uses the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder (149643) as a back drop.

The Tailor Made Tags Dies (155563) highlight these cute little duo. And this next monochromatic card is done in our new Soft Succulent.

It uses our fun 2021- 2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum (155616) for a pop of shimmer behind the turtle. This paper is awesome and comes in all 5 In Colors, and it is great for overlaying on another layer like this project does.

This next project is a fun fold that swings up the little turtle up for display.

Created using our Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper (155761) and Evening Evergreen the turtle has a shinny shell that was created by adding our Shimmery Crystal Effects (150892) and that shine is also carried over in the Genial Gems (155500) that are used on the sentiment panel. Cute right?

The final project I’m sharing with you today is a treat bag made with our Ombre Gift Bags (155479) filled with some turtle chocolate treats.

Check out the adorable little flower, it’s our Loose Flower Flourishes (155808) that come in 3 of our 2021-2023 In Colors. This accessory is perfect for using with our In Colors since they are a great way to bring trendy colors to your stamping.

Saying goodbye to Delicate Petals

Posted on by

Can you believe it is already the 16th? The month is going quickly and that means that our Last Chance products from the January June Mini Catalog won’t be available much longer.

With just 2 weeks left I thought I’d share some cards using stamp sets from the Mini that will be gone soon. This first card uses the Delicate Petals stamp set (154475).

Done in Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple and Bumblebee with a bit of Wink of Stella for some shimmer it highlights the wonderful friendship sentiment that is included in this all occasions set. And if you’re a flower lover you’ll also want to check out the Wrapped Bouquet Bundle (156217).

The Always in My Heart stamp set (154337) is also filled with wonderful sentiments and floral images like used with this next card.

This next card uses the retiring Vine Design stamp set (154488) and our Double Oval Punch (154242) making it a quick and easy card to create.

This punch is a lot of fun to work with and has a coordinating set that is going away, the Oval Occasions (154477). This bundle (156261) along with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (154317) were used to create this next card.

The Treasured Medallion Bundle (156237) was used to create this colorful card with gold accents.

The Treasures of Life set (154519) was used to create this next card along with the Gilded Leafing Embellishment (154560) which gives the image a rich feel.

And if you are looking for a set that gives you some great sentiments for those difficult times, you’ll want to be sure to check out the Wonderful as You stamp set (154252).

And finally this last card uses the Happy Thoughts (154507) stamp set.

It’s filled will wonderful sentiments like these that can be teamed up with your other favorite products like the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (154558) and your favorite punch or die to create quick cards.

Whew! As you can see a lot of great products are retiring. Remember our Last Chance List is while supplies last and there are discounts up to 50% off so it’s a great time to stop by my Online Store and get yours before they retire this month on 30th.

Pirates & Mermaids

Posted on by

This is a fun new stamp set that is a treasure for birthday and more. The Pirates & Mermaids stamp set (155703) has great images and coordinating sentiments too.

Check out these fun cards using the mermaid perfect for coloring with our Stampin’ Blends for bright, bold colors.

this first card teams up the set with our Checks & Dots Embossing Folders (155432) for a bit of texture. The seaweed image from Smooth Sailing Dies (149576) adds a pop of color and the Layering Circle Dies (151770) draw your attention to the sweet little mermaid. Don’t you love how our products work together?

This next card uses some color as a backdrop, using our Sponge Daubers (133773). On top of the sponging our Decorative Masks (155553) and a bit of Shimmery White Embossing Paste (145645) add a bit of shimmer and creating a cool effect.

And finally this last card uses our Pearlescent Specialty Paper (154291). The Soft Sea Foam Classic Ink has been added using our Blending Brushes (153611).

The little mermaid has been colored and cut in half. She peeks out from 2 slits that have been cut in the Pearlescent Specialty Paper with our Paper Trimmer (152392). Cute, right? And for a bit of texture the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder (154309) has been added to the Basic White Layer on the card front.

So what do you think? Which card is your favorite? As you can see this set is a lot of fun to work with so why not check it out? You’ll find it on page 58 in our Annual Catalog.

Each month my team gathers for our monthly Team Meeting and we share, laugh, and stamp with each other. Part of this monthly meeting is swapping. I always love to see what my group has been creating and so today I thought I’d share our June swaps with you.

This first card uses our Sweet Ice Cream Suite found in our January – June Mini Catalog on page 49. While the stamp and punch carried over to the Annual Catalog, the coordinating products in the Suite did not and are still available until June 30th while supplies last.

This fun fold card is sure to make someone smile.

How about a quick emboss resist with our Blending Brushes (153611) and the Dragonfly Garden stamp set (155079)?

This soft and subtle look was created with 2 of our NEW In Colors, Polished Pink and Evening Evergreen and White Embossing Powder (155554). And here is a fun spanner card made with the Pansy Petal Suite of products found on page 28-29 in the Annual Catalog.

Hats Off

Posted on by

Have you seen the Hats Off Bundle (158361) in the Annual Catalog on page 47? It’s a great option for the dudes in our lives with its sentiments and images. The baseball cap is something that most mean have in their closets, or in my son’s case his prize possession. When he gets a new cap like he did yesterday, he’ll give it special attention until it is worn in just right. I guess you could call his hats, the guy version of shoes. lol

So today I’ll share 3 projects with you highlight this fun stamp set and coordinating dies. This first card is done in Crumb Cake and Early Espresso and packs a lot of texture.

It not only uses the Tasteful Texture 3D Embossing Folder (152718) but also the lovely Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim (152472).

Next up –

This lovely card using the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (152494) Misty Moonlight, Smoky Slate and Real Red. Check out the bat it was made using the Suit & Tie Dies (154322). Yep, simply flip that tie upside down and you’ve got a great bat! This card not only has the wonderful woven texture from the Designer Series Paper but also adds some stitching with the Stitched Rectangle Dies (151820). The Smoky Slate layer was dry embossed with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder (155431) for even more texture.

And finally a fun 3D project using the Bundle (158361) It’s quick and simple to make

The colors chosen for the topper were taken right off the package of gum too, which has been slid into one of our 6×8″ Cellophane Bags (102210). A quick and simple gift for that little slugger in our life.

Timeless Tropical 3d Treats

Posted on by

With the summer time fun starting soon I wanted to share these fun tropical theme treats with you that I received during my Incentive Trip swaps. Such fun for graduation or even a pool party.

This first one hold a couple of Ghirardelli squares which is always a popular treat. I love the sparkle this treat holder has as it uses our Rainbow Glimmer Paper (153056) for some extra pizzazz!

This treat has been made with our Acetate Card Boxes (150428). Simply cut them in half and you’ve got two treat boxes that are really sturdy treat. Pop it into our Printed Gusseted Cellophane Bags (151312) and tie it up with some ribbon they’re easy to take with you too.

And this next treat uses our NEW Simply Classic Treat Boxes (155566)

A little bit of ribbon creates a fun pull tab to open the box. This little box holds quite a bit too.

And my final share for the day is a fun Ombre Gift Bag (155479)

Filled with a fun face mask to help rest & relax during the summer holidays.

Fun right?

Why not check out the Timeless Tropical Stamp set (151497) you’ll find it on page 21 of the Annual Catalog. It’s got a coordinating set of dies too! You’ll love the Tropics Dies with all their detail stamp and why not create fun projects that just use the die cuts? Some of the images, like this pineapple can be used on their own which is an added bonus.
