Team Time Fun

Each month we gather to stamp and share with each other and so today I thought I’d share some of the fun cards that my team members have created over the past 2 months. I can’t believe they got buried on my desk and I haven’t shared them with you before now.

These first 2 cards use the Country Home stamp set (147678) from the Annual Catalog that you can find on page 90. This first one uses the beautiful Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper (153527) to choose it’s color pallet.

And both these cards have been colored with our Stampin’ Blends which gives them that great bold rich, color.

And here is fun fold card using the Beautiful Autumn Stamp set () and lovely Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (153520).

This card uses the fun impossible fold to create a card that pops up but mails flat.

And one using our Stitched Leaves Dies (153567) that has been teamed up with the colorful Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper (153527) again.

I really like the way these dies have the stitched edging that can be used on negative images like this and on the positive images too.

A gratitude journal made with the lovely Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper (152488) – done in 6×6 and filled with paper to fill. A page for each person to personalize or use it as a lovely book to use yourself.

This next project uses the Grace’s Garden stamp set (151513) and is a fun fold card.

That once again folds flat for mailing.

This next grouping of projects is for Christmas and I’ll continue with some more fun folds. First this easel card that uses the Sweetest Time Bundle (155169).

And last but not least Shirley shared some little wooden pumpkins she made using the technique we used during our Peak Princess Event. You can see more and the tutorial for that project about that HERE.

And how about some Christmas projects? This first card uses the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper (153487) and teams it up with the beautiful Forever Gold Laser Cut Specialty Paper (152493)

And for a here is a fun fold teepee card using our Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper (150444) with it’s beautiful images.

Champagne foil Sheets (144748) were cut out using the Forever Flourishing Dies (152714) and were used as a backdrop for the sentiment. This card also folds flat for mailing simply by undoing the well placed velcro dot.

And now for some fun 3d projects – A cute little box that holds a couple of nuggets using the Little Treats stamp set (153516).

And fun tags using a variety of the holiday stamp sets found in the Annual and Holiday catalog. Can you name them all?

There are 4 different stamp sets used for these tags. Don’t look if you are still guessing but here is the list. Detailed Doves (153406), Christmas Gleaming (150464), Merry Moose (150494), and Perfectly Plaid (149418). Hand made tags for your packages make them extra special and are a lot of fun to make!

whew… what did I tell you, lots of great projects! I’m truly blessed with such a great team to share and stamp with.

Beautiful Autumn & More

Today I’m sharing a couple of cards with you using the Beautiful Autumn Bundle (155189) and more. This bundle has quickly become a favorite of mine with it’s lovely sentiments and selection of images that can be punched out. There are a great size for treats also, which I love to make too and makes it a versatile option for the fall season.

This first card uses the bold color pallet from the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper (153527) that it uses. I love the way this little stack of 6×6 pattern can be used from fall all the way through the end of winter due to the selection of colors in it.

And here is another card using the same stamp set, but this time it has been teamed up with the beautiful Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (153520).

The sentiment has been cut out using the Tasteful Labels Dies (152886). If you haven’t invested in this set of dies you’ll want to since it is wonderful for all kinds of projects! It contains all kinds of shapes and sizes making it a great addition to your collection!

And today’s final card add these wonderful embossed leaves that were cut out with the Gathered Leaves Dies (150662).

Beautiful Autumn Thank You Card Video Tutorial

I love having the measurements printed out so I can refer to them also, so here is a PDF for you. And of course all my tutorials include the link to the video on them for easy reference when you are ready to craft.

Beautiful Autumn Thank You Card Tutorial PDF

Have you ever wondered why I include both the ink pad AND refill number in my PDFs? Well back when I started stamping I only purchased the ink pads and then when I needed the ink refill I didn’t have them. Lesson learned, now I always suggest purchasing them together – no headaches when you need to them and are in the middle of the project your making. AND even more fun there are some great techniques that use those reinkers by themselves too!

Enjoy and you’ll want to make sure to keep reading until the end for the supply list.

Beautiful Autumn Tiny Treat Box & More Team fun!

Yesterday I shared the Home Decor project that we made at the Peak Princess event this past weekend, today I thought I’d share the little treat item that I made.

They are filled with these fun fall Hershey’s Kisses that I found locally.

I just love the colors of the candy – yes, I do shop for candy that way. (My daughter thinks this is a pretty crazy way to shop for chocolate, but she is always on the hunt for me too!)

These treats were quick and easy to make for everyone. I have whipped up a quick video so you can make some to if you’d like.

Beautiful Autumn Tiny Treat Box Video Tutorial


And of course it’s always fun to have a PDF that contains a complete supply list for projects. So here it is.

Beautiful Autumn Tiny Treat Box Tutorial PDF

I also mentioned I’d share some more photos so here are a couple from the classroom.

This last picture is of the Sweet Potato Crostini I made for the event. The marshmallows spent a bit too much time under the broiler I’m afraid. Don’t you hate that? But they were still quite tasty.

They were a big hit with my guys so I thought you might enjoy the recipe – they are light, tasty and easy to do.


Sweet Potato Crostini

2 T. sugar

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

24 slices 1/4″ thick French bread baguette

2 to 3 T butter, melted

Topping:

2 c. mashed sweet potatoes

1/4 c. chopped pecans

3 T. packed brown sugar

2 T. butter, melted

1 1/4 c. miniature marshmallows, halved

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix sugar and cinnamon. Arrange bread sliced ona baking sheet. Brush with butter; sprinkle with sugar mixture. Bake until lightly browned, 5-7 minutes. Remove from oven; preheat broiler.

Mix sweet potatoes, pecans, brown sugar, and butter; spread over toasts. Top with marshmallows, pressing lightly. Broil 3-4 inches from heat until marshmallows are lightly toasted, 1-2 minutes.


So easy and tasty too!

Enjoy!

Celebration Tidings

I just love it when a bundle gives you both a great stamp set that you can use for several occasions and a wonderful set of dies. And the Celebration Tidings Bundle does just that. Not only will you love the images in this set but the labels in the coordinating dies are very versatile and can be used will all kinds of stamps.

Take a look at these first 2 cards that use the lovely pumpkin image

Teamed up with the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper and Embroidered Ribbon it’s got a lot of texture and a great Halloween feel. And this card below uses the same image with a different sentiment. The image is framed this time with the Stitched Rectangle Dies (151820) and the little acorn and leaves from the Beautiful Autumn Bundle (155189) a pop of interest and color in the lower corner.

These next two cards were created for Christmas using the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper (153492)

Flipping the dies on their side gives this last card a different feel and the Detailed Trio Punch (146320) in the lower corners allows a bit of the Old Olive to peek through.

So what do you think? You can check out this set in our August – December Mini Catalog on page 57 & 58. Don’t have a catalog? Email me your name, address, and phone number and I’ll be happy to mail you one.

Beautiful Autumn

This Suite of products has been particularly popular with it’s set of 3 punches – it’s great for quick and easy projects too.

Check out these lovely cards made using the Beautiful Autumn Bundle (155189). This first card is sweet and simple perfect for #simplestamping and beginners as it uses a limited number of products.

Beautiful Autumn

Our Classic Ink Mint Macaron, Early Espresso and Cajun Craze were used for the stamping along with the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper for a bit of gold foil.

This next card uses the punches to punch the images from the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper. Soo easy!

Beautiful Autumn

The strip of Early Espresso down the center was embossed using the Tasteful Texture 3D Embossing Folder (152718) to add a bit of texture along with the stitched die to cut out the sentiment. Lovely.

And this final card is strikingly elegant in it’s simplicity. Once again texture was added to the Very Vanilla panel using the Tasteful Textured 3D Embossing Folder. The beautiful foil panel is then layered with some stitched squares and topped with the stamped images that have been colored with our Stampin’ Blends and punched out with the Autumn Punch Pack (153609).

Beautiful Autumn

A bit of the Metallic Ribbon (153553) and Acorn Trinkets (153552) make this card extra special.

What do you think? Like this Suite of products? Why not check it out ? And remember if the Suite item number is unavailable due to a back order, you can still order the individual items.

Enjoy!

On a personal note.

While I was originally suppose to fly out yesterday for this event I guess things worked out for the best since since it’s now being streamed. I’m really excited about this event and look forward to it starting this afternoon.

While I was disappointed not to be able to gather together with my fellow demonstrators and friends and see New Orleans for the first time, Stampin’ Up! has already started this event with a bang! I received a surprise package in the mail earlier this month – This lovely box and it’s from Tiffany & Co.!

What a treat! I never dreamed I’d receive a gift from Tiffany & Co.! So I sat it on my shelf for a few days just enjoying the special box and wondering what was in it before I opened it.

We’ll be using these special flutes during our Welcome session later today. I’ve already got my sparkling cider chilling! It’s going to be a full 3 days streaming together!!!

Did I mention I was excited? This is a going to be another fantastic Stampin’ Up! event I can already tell just from the pre-event information we’ve received. LOL!!!

Well I’m off to set up my classroom with all the creature comforts for streaming.

Stop back by next week for more inspiration and my September Class information and my first Christmas Card Stamp a Stack this fall.
