Dragonfly Garden Mix It Up Series #1 final Tutorial

Today marks the end of my Mix It Up Series Series #1 and it’s final project. This week I’ve been sharing with you cards all made with the same pieces, just mixed up. This technique is a fun and quick way to create cards quickly. Whether your new to stamping or a avid crafter like myself you’ll find this series a great way to craft.

Today’s card once again uses the classic Misty Moonlight and Bumblebee combination. Since it uses just 2 ink pads it’s a great way to start building your color collection. And since they both are part of our 2020-2022 In Color Collection you can choose our Cardstock Assortment pack since it contains all 5 colors in the In Color collection.

Done in a landscape layout it with simple stamping – this sentiment is a great way to spread some cheer.

Here is my video tutorial and a printable PDF also for you. Did you know that each of my PDF tutorials not only gives you a complete supply list, measurements, and step by step directions as a companion to the video but it also includes the YouTube link? Yep, they do – that makes it simple to keep everything in one place!

Darling Donkeys meets Oh So Ombre

Today I’m sharing another card made with the Darling Donkeys stamp set from the Sale-a-bration Brochure. I’ve just fallen in love with these little guys and their sweet faces. They are so quick and easy to color with our Stampin’ Blends – and I find coloring with our Stampin’ Blends quite relaxing too.

This time I’ve team the image up with our bright and cheerful Bermuda Bay pattern from the Oh So Ombre 6×6 Designer Series Paper that you can also find in the Sale-a-bration offerings.

This card is quick and easy to stamp and when the image is teamed up with this bold sentiment it is perfect to send to a friend to brighten their day. Want to see how quick and easy this was to stamp? Why not check out my video tutorial?

Darling Donkeys Tutorial

Did I say darling? Yes! This stamp set is just too cut and I couldn’t wait to ink it up and put it to paper when I first saw it.

Today’s card was one that I cased from the Sale-a-bration brochure. Do you ever do that? I love the fact that our catalogs have such great ideas that we can copy and share! I used this cute little card for my Team OnStage After Party last November, so today I thought I’d share it with you so you can make some too.

Floating & Fluttering Thank You Card Tutorial

Today I’d like to share another tutorial with you. I’m running a bit behind because my internet is having issues. So please bear with me as I work through this problem over the next few days. Today’s card uses the Floating & Fluttering Bundle found in the 2021 January – June Mini.

This bundle of products doesn’t contain sentiments so it was perfect to team up with the FREE Sale-a-bration stamp set Heal Your Heart (Sale-a-bration 152291) that you can earn when you purchase this bundle and spend $50 in product.

Want to see the card now? I chose one of my favorite color combos for it – Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green.

When doing a technique like blending colors you’ll want to choose colors next to each other on the color wheel rather than across from each other for a more pleasing feel. If you use colors across from each other you’ll get a more “muddy” look when you blend them.

If you don’t remember your childhood art class basics, there are primary colors Red, Blue, and Yellow.

When primary colors are mixed with the color next to them you get the secondary colors, orange, violet, green. And of course, if there is more of one of the primary colors in the mix that is more dominate, you’ve got the tertiary colors or 3rd set of colors.

If you’ve been stamping for a while you probably do this intuitively with your color combinations without even realizing it as we all have color palettes we use repeatedly because they make us happy.

On to the tutorial. I’ve created both a video and PDF for you that I wanted to share.

Quite Curvy Note Pad Holder & More

Whew! The week is flying by and tonight starts the Stampin’ Up! OnStage@Home event. I’m excited about this opportunity to gather with my fellow demonstrators from around the world. It’s sure to be a jam packed 3 days as always and while it is not a live event in Salt Lake as planned originally I’m just happy that I’m able to participate this way from home. Stampin’ Up! never disappoints at these events.

I didn’t want to spoil the surprise earlier this week, but by now everyone should have received their little goodies in the mail. So….. today I thought I’d share with you a fun project that I made as a gift for my team members that will be joining me for the OnStage@Home event. I just love the Quite Curvy Bundle so I started there.

I just couldn’t resist these sweet little birds and the fact that the sentiments curve along the die cut edges! So want to see what I made?

Here you go this soft and sweet note pad holders

I’m really pleased with the way they turned out and I had some sticky notes and flags that I thought went perfectly with this project too!

So what do you think? Want to learn how to make your own? While you may not have the same little flags and sticky notes I’m sure you can find some similar sized for your projects. Or how about a sticky note and mini calendar? The options are endless and I find that one of the fun things about creating a gift like this.

I’ve put together a video tutorial for you. It’s a bit longer than my normal videos, but it shows you the how to from start to finish. And as always I’ve given you a printable PDF with a complete supply list and step by step instructions.
