Construction Zone #BackStage Swap Tutorial

Posted on by

Wow, I’m back from Vegas and another fantastic Stampin’ Up! event and sort of have my computer working, so I thought I’d share with you one of the cards that I made for my #BackStage swap in Las Vegas.

I really love the way they turned out and couldn’t pick a favorite color so I made several. I got a good response from my fellow swappers with this Annual Catalog stamp set which was nice too.

I couldn’t resist using the Construction Zone stamp set (161582) that was one of my first must haves but haven’t had time to play with. So since my computer was driving me nuts, I decided it was a great time to chill and create with this fun little set. And I had a blast so I’ll be sharing more tutorials with you soon.

Cute right? and it has some great all occasion sentiments. While my son is now in his 30s I can remember his love of his little tonka trucks and construction equipment. So I know that the cards I create with this set will bring a smile to his face, after all I think it is a great set for our guys all ages.

I chose Crushed Curry from the Regals Collection Designer Series Paper (161642) for my original design that I will share with you today for my tutorial, but as you can see fork lifts come in all colors so the Brights Collection works well too!

Want to see how I made this so you can make some too? Check out my Video tutorial below along with my PDF with measurements, supply list and step by step directions.

Wildlife Wonder

Posted on by

Today’s cards both use the Wildlife Wonder stamp set (157923). This set is filled with lovely DistINKtive images that are great for simply stamping along with some great sentiments that you can use all year round.

Sets like this one are also great for the men in our lives. Check out this first card that uses the owl image to create a wonderful birthday card.

Done in the rich colors of Pecan Pie and Lost Lagoon it uses the Countryside Corners Bundle (161472) to create the frame that highlights this image. A bit of detail was added to the owl with our Stampin’ Write Markers for the eyes and feathers.

Owls are pretty cool and I’ve found watching my high school classmates owl cam at her home in Texas a lot of fun these past 2 years. The other night she caught two of them on her bird bath. Technology can be so cool.

And these next two cards use the bear image which can definitely be found in my North Georgia back yard. This first card as been stamped with our NEW color, Pecan Pie

the Garden Green card stock background is embossed with our Fern 3D Embossing Folder (158804) and a bit of texture has been added with sponging and the 1/8″ stitched ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack (161318).

And how about this last card? Done in Basic Gray? While it uses the same image the colors make it feel so different. So what do you think? Need a nature inspired set for the guys in your life? You can find this set and other sets inspired by nature in my Online Store.

Posted on by

It’s Friday and that means another tutorial, this weeks card highlights the lovely masculine paper, Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper (161534).

This paper is filled with lovely images and masculine colors that are great for all kids of masculine card. Today’s card uses the smaller fish pattern which made me thing of the Aquarium in Chattanooga so I thought it would be perfect for this birthday card that I needed to make for a friend who loves aquariums.

This card is done in the In Color, Boho Blue and Misty Moonlight that I love together!

I’ve team up the sentiment from the Go To Greetings Stamp set (158763)

This is a set of dies that I think you’ll be reaching for time and again during crafting since they have this lovely stitched edge and are great for creating focal points like this one.

You’re Awesome Vintage Tools Card Tutorial

Posted on by

This past weekend I was able to attend the first live Stampin’ Up! Back Stage event that was held in New Orleans after 3 ling years. It was sooo much fun seeing everyone and connecting again after so long. Of course, I wanted to participate in everything, so I started working on my swaps for the first night of the event.

Of course I wanted to share them with you too! So today’s card is the first of 2 that I designed for the swap. Today’s a masculine card that I created using the Vintage Tools stamps set that uses a color pallet right from our Regals and Neutrals collections that are perfect for the guys in our lives.

This stamp set is one of my favorites since my guys do a lot of home improvements and my son has been drawn to wood working since he could walk into Sears. One of our have to stops when out at the Mall back when he was 3! (Now, if you could only see his work shop!)

The image I used for this project also reminds me of my childhood and my father, who had to plain down the doors in our new home so they were able to close and not stick. I can remember watching the little rolls of wood falling as he shaved off the top corner and tested it each time. Odd, how such little things stick in our mind isn’t it? I couldn’t have been older than 4 as I watched him.

Want to see how I created this card? I’ve done a quick video and pdf tutorial for you.
