Thoughtful Banners - Stamp Review Crew

May 14, 2017

WELCOME!!! Welcome to another Stamp Review Crew blog hop. This week we are sharing fun new ways to use a current staple, Thoughtful Banners! This stamp set has a greeting for almost all occasions. So many options and choices. I chose to create a Graduation card for my nephew.

I created the square background by stamping the bar piece from this stamp set repeatedly in Lemon Lime Twist on Whisper White card stock. I LOVE this new color. The graduation cap is hand cut from black card stock. The tassel has been trimmed down to be more in proportion to the cap. These mini tassels are available in June. So cute!

I can't wait to see what our Stamp Review Crew has created with Thoughtful Banners. Next up is Nikki Spencer. Thanks for stopping by.

Basket Bunch - What Will You Stamp Challenge

April 3, 2017

The Basket Bunch stamp set is so cute & egg-stra special! LOL. I am totally in love with it. Basket Bunch is also this weeks What Will You Stamp challenge set. This stamp set has Easter/Spring images and coordinating framelits.

I created two cards for this weeks challenge both using the easter egg images and sentiment from the set. The first card uses the sweet basket from the framelits. This card is a little more detailed. The second card is super simple and basically uses stamps, ink and paper.

Check out what the team created over on the WWYS blog and play along if you have this set. Happy spring!

March Madness- Anything Goes - TGIF Challenges 101 #TGIFC101

March 31, 2017

Welcome to another TGIF Challenge. This week we were asked to let loose! We had no theme, no direction, and we've given free reign to create whatever we wanted. I decided to continue to play with the Oh, So Succulent bundle. I love these products.

YOUR challenge is to choose a TGIF project to CASE! Doesn't this sounds like so much fun? You can see all of the projects options over on the TGIF blog.

If you decided to case my project I've provided a simple template and/or color combo for you to reference. Can't wait to see what everyone creates. HAPPY STAMPING!

Supplies listed below.

Hello! I rarely show my face on here but I thought I’d pop in between cards and say hello from Stampin’ Up! OnStage in Raleigh!!! My crafty HEART is so full catching up with old and new friends. The people are always the best part of any experience, especially this one. I feel so lucky to catch up with my upline, old co-workers, the Artisan gals from various years, Monday Montage, TGIF challenges crew and even a sprinkle of Global Design Project peeps. So many lovely people who make my life better! It’s rare to find a place where you know so many people from decades of your life. Yay for stamping! I won’t spam you with all the many photos but here are a few. Yes, I’m usually a dork. ❤️❤️❤️

My fav… pulling out an OLD stamp set from the stash to create a custom background. I played with type to match the background to the primary image using simple watercolor and stamps. Paint and stamp in same color. Easy. Color is Blackberry Bliss. Stamp sets are Stampin’ Up! oldies but goodies: Rough Type & PS I Love You. #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #useyourstash #cardmakingideas #cardmakingreels #papercrafting #handmadecard #cardmakingchallenge

All time favorite stamp set? How about favorite of the month? Year? I have so many "favs" and they rotate. Today we are sharing projects using our favorite stamp sets from our stash. There are certain stamp themes that I am certain to buy and keep. Any stamp set with a typewriter... or camera image, purchased! I have loads. On this card I used two typewriter themed stamp sets. 'Rough Type', which is and old alphabet stamp set. Remember those? It seems like we don't have many aphabet stamp set options anymore. Good thing I kept so many around ... The typewriter image is from a stamp set called 'P.S. You're the Best'. Check out what my friends created using their favorite STASH stamps sets!
