Quiet Reflection

Do you like simple stamping? Or stepping your project up with a quick and simple technique? The Quiet Reflection stamp set (162689) gives you all of these options, plus it has some great sentiments too!

This first card uses a simple technique of stamping, crumpling the paper and adding some sponging to the crinkles.

Two Classic Inks were used to ink up the image, Pean Pie and a bit of Mossy Meadow on the top image which gives it a cool effect. The sentiment was stamped in Mossy Meadow and the Pecan Pie 1/2″ Bordered Ribbon (161634) adds a bit more texture to the project.

This next project uses the same two color ink technique for the image but this time it is Mossy Meadow and Pretty Peacock.

The card has been stepped up with our dies the Deckled Rectangle Dies (159173) which have been used to cut out the image. Texture has been added with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) to the Lost Lagoon layer and a few of the Pretty Peacock sequins from the Adhesive Backed Sequins Trio Pack (161206). And this last card uses a fun technique too.

The image was stamped in our Pebbled Path, if you haven’t added this color to your ink collection you’ll want to since it is a lovely warm gray. Then some color was added to the stamped panel in Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushel with our Blending Brushes (153611). Add a bit of Linen Thread (104199) as your horizon. Finally our Christmas Pinecones Dies (1569309) were used in a non traditional manner to emboss the Pebbled Path card stock layer. Simply turn the dies over so that it doesn’t cut your card stock and run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss. It will emboss your card stock this way rather than cut the pinecones out. A great way to add texture and a fun technique that packs a wow factor.

More Inked & Tiled

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.

This next card uses a fun fold and the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper (161157).

While this card shows off 3 of the patterns it also uses the fun Adhesive Backed Sequins Trio Pack (161206) that add a bit of shine to the punched pieces.

And next a card that uses the fun Twisted Ribbon Technique.

If you love the colors in this pack of Designer Series Paper

you’ll enjoy using it with other products like this card does.

The Wanted to Say Dies (161594) were used to create this lovely card stepped up with our Stampin’ Cut & Emboss. Not only does it use dies, but some texture has been added with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) and Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins (161627). When using these kind of dies our Adhesive Sheets (152334) make it a breeze to create layers like this.

Adorning Hearts

The Adorning Hearts Stamp set (162563) is an elegant one with it’s lovely flowing font and floral images.

It also has a coordinating Hybrid Embossing Folder and dies making it a lot of fun to create with.

Today’s cards all use the stamp set to create lovely card for celebrating your loved ones. This first card uses non traditional Valentine colors and fun gate fold card to create a lovely soft feel. The heart shape floral wreath has been stamped in Pool Party Classic Ink with the sentiment stamped over top.

The Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper (161157) sets the color pallet for the project. And the Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon (161171) adds a bit of texture. For a more traditional look this next card uses our Real Red and Flirty Flamingo. While it uses the same heart shape wreath it has a very different feel to it. Don’t you love how a simple change in color does that?

The wreath has been colored with our Flirty Flamingo and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends giving it a soft feel. The background uses the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) to add a bit of texture along with the NEW Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack (162759) and a few Basic Rhinestones Jewels (144220).

This next card teams the sentiment from the set with the Most Adored Specialty Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 162976) that you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-bration.

It’s a beautiful pack of paper with gold foiling and images that will coordinate with the different Mini catalog products.

The Valentine Card has been stamped in Real Red and uses the dies from the Adorning Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder & Dies (162569) and the Real Red heart uses Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder (156392) to put a song in it’s heart. Love that as I have a band director for a daughter and can’t resist music themed items! A couple of the FREE Opaque Faceted Gems (Sale-a-bration 162979) add a bit more texture to the sentiment panel. Look form them on page 9 of the Sale-a-bration Brochure, they are easy to miss and you’ll defiantly want some.

Whew – that’s a lot of Sale-a-bration products you can choose from when you place a qualifying order during Sale-a-bration. Remember you can earn as many free Sale-a-bration products as you wish during January and February!

Bird’s Eye View & More

Love books? Then you might just enjoy creating with the Bird’s Eye View stamp set (161436) found in our Annual Catalog.

This set is filled with fun little images that immediately got me thinking about my years helping in our children’s elementary school library. A book lover myself the kids were always happy to have me asking questions about the latest series they were reading. Normally that meant a Harry Potter book, that was almost as big as them!

Today’s card is done in Fresh Freesia and uses the bold patterns of the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper (161192) as a back drop. Speaking of those days, I thought I’d share this next card with you that uses the Coffee with Friends stamp set (161389). Coffee after working together was always a fun way of ending the day at our local coffee shop on the Lawrenceville square. While the shop is long gone the friendships have lasted.

My entry level coffee of choice was a latte back then. LOL and sent me down a path of regular coffee drinking and being on the look out for the next coffee shop to try out. Ah the lazy afternoons enjoying a cup with friends.

This card is done in our Lemon Lolly and Azure Afternoon, a lovely soft combo. It uses our Stampin’ Blends to add color to the focal point and a bit of texture has been added to the background with simple stamping and our Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505).

I always enjoy sending a card like this to my old friends when it’s been too long since we’ve gotten together, the sentiments are perfect. (And I must admit I’ve got a thing for coffee themed sets.) How about you? Do you have someone you like to catch up with over a cup of coffee?

Warmest Heart

Have you seen this fun little set, Warmest Heart (162336) in our Mini Catalog? I know I missed it, that is until I got this fall Get Well card during a swap. I’m always needing to create get well cards so I went looking.

This fun little stamp also has a coordinating die set giving you lots of options when creating.

Today’s card uses Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie to create a warm fall feel along with the plaid pattern from the Them Bones Designer Series Paper (162215). A bit of texture was added with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) some sponging and a simple technique of dragging your finger nail, Paper Snips, or even your Bone Folder across the edges of your card stock to create a frayed look. And if you don’t recognize it the big sending hugs sentiment is from our Layering Leaves stamp set (161277), don’t you love the way our products coordinate together?

Enjoy and then why not stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some cards from the Curved Occasions stamp set from our Mini.

Little Monkey

Oh what fun is the zoo! And these little monkeys are too cute.

Little Monkey Bundle (161379) is filled with adorable images and fun sayings AND has a coordinating Little Monkey Builder Punch (161378) who wouldn’t love that?

Check out these fun cards using the Bundle. This first card uses the punch for a bold look.

A bit of texture was added to the back ground with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) and our quick and easy Stampin’ Blends were used to color the vegetation. Or how about this fun little card to say HI to someone?

It also has been colored with our Stampin’ Blends and a to of “sky” has been added behind using the Blending Brushes (153611) and some Classic Ink.

Monkeys for us have become a family favorite when visiting the zoo. On a trip to Honolulu’s Zoo last year we ran across a Gibbon monkey, this little guy was very vocal. Check out this quick little video I took. Click HERE or on my photo below.

It was so funny we were mesmerized and spent quite a while watching him sing and sing. This little guy marks his territory by a whooping, piercing “song,” and he went on for a while, you could hear him across the zoo too. LOL. We’ve never seen anything like it. (You can learn more about him HERE on the zoo’s website). By the way this zoo was a wonderful, if you have a few hours why not check it out?

So what do you think? Do you find this set as adorable as I do? Why not check it out in my Online Store?

More fun with Adorable Owls

I can’t get enough of this adorable little stamp set, how about you? So today I’ll be sharing some of the swap cards that I received using this cute little guy. I just love how you can use the set for all kinds of cards.

How about some friendship cards to start? Here is a fun one that uses our new Happy Labels Pick a Punch (160693) for the fun little swing that the owl is sitting on.

Our Basic Border Dies (155558) and fun Three Twine Combo Pack (160597) and Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins (160387) compliment another of our Sale-a-bration products, the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper Stack (Sale-a-bration 160836). Cute right? And this next friendship card takes on a whole different feel that is more nature geared.

This time the Soft Suede layer has been dry embossed with our Timber 3d Embossing Folder (156406) for some texture. The branch has been cut from Mossy Meadow using a die from the Meadow Dies (155852) and the Stylish Shape Dies (159183) adds a bit more texture with it’s stitched edges and Vellum Card stock piece.

And these next three cards a great for celebrating. This first card is bright and cheerful and it pulls it’s color pallet from the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper Stack (Sale-a-bration 160836).

And how about a fun faux window card?

This card is done in softer colors and uses the By the Bay Specialty Designer Series Paper (160434) giving it a landscape feel to the backdrop. How cool is that?

And finally a fun little graduation card using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) and Regency Park Designer Series Paper (160559)

to create a classic Blue & Gold combo. A Bit of our Metallic Woven Ribbon (159198) and Adhesive Backed Milky Dots (160582) complete the look.

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s cards and stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more cards made with our Sale-a-bration products with you!

I’m not sure what it is about this little bird, but I’m drawn to him with that sweet little face. Check out this lovely card highlighting the image.

Colored with our Stampin’ Blends this little bird give a wonderful pop of color to the project. The Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper (155718) add a lovely touch to the card and sets the color pallet too. I love how our Designer Series Paper help to tie everything together. How about you? And this next card highlights the Holly Border Punch (Retiring 156379) along with the retiring Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set (156362) stamped in Soft Succulent.

The Pearlescent Specialty Paper (154291) and tone on tone is quite striking in it’s simplicity. Texture has been added to the Basic White layer using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) and Pearls (144219). So simple but at the same time sooo elegant.

Nature’s Harvest

The fall leaves have turned to golds and red here in North Georgia, we are at our peak leaf watching season and with Thanksgiving right around the corner I thought it was a great time to share some wonderful cards created with the Harvest Meadow Suite of products (156280).

This Suite is filled with wonderful images and products perfect for creating one of a kind projects. Check out these cards made with the suite.

This first card not only uses the lovely Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper (156494) but also the really cool Cork Specialty Paper (156393) for some added texture. The images were stamped on the Tailor Made Tags (155563) and some Brushed Metallic Adhesive Back Dots (156506) were added along with the Diamond Weave Ribbon (156507) for even more texture and interest. And how about this next card?

The flowers have been colored with our Stampin’ Blends and the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) some wonderful subtle texture.

If you enjoy these flowers check out this next card using the coordinating dies for a silhouette effect.

A bit of shine was added to the card with the branch that has been cut out of our Silver Foil Specialty Pack (156457) and White Glittered Organdy Ribbon (156408). Of course, extra interest is added since it is a fun fold with the sentiment peaking out from the inside. Open the top flat and lower the bottom to see the full inside of the sentiment panel.

Strong of Heart

Today’s card is one that has been stamped with a set that you might have missed in our Mini Catalog, I know I did the first few times I flipped through our Mini. You can find the Strong of Heart stamp set on page 5.

I think you’ll enjoy the Strong of Heart stamp set (156376) with it’s sentiments, they’re perfect for some of those difficult cards we have to make.

Stamped in Misty Moonlight and Mint Macaron this card has lots of texture. The Timeworn Type Embossing Folder (156505) is used on the background of the Basic White layer that has been cut with our Scalloped Contours Dies (155560). This die makes cutting angles like these quick and easy. The bottom of the panel has been stamped with the swash image from the sent and the sentiment has been too after being stamped off.

A clean and simple card to stamp but simply lovely.
