Pieces & Patterns, Pick a Pattern - Dinosaur Hello card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin' Up!

Pieces & Patterns is a super fun, cute and diverse stamp set. I've finally gotten around to playing with it a little bit and ended up making some cards perfect for the wee ones. These projects are for the kids! Dinos & critters, what more can I say.

Both cards use images hand cut from the Pick A Pattern designer series papers and paired with a cute sentiment from the stamp set.

Happy Birthday Gorgeous and Happy Birthday Thinlet from Stampin' Up! 2017 - Charlet Mallett

Sketch Challenge TGIFC111 - Happy Birthday Gorgeous!

June 9, 2017

YIPPEE! It's Friday. Seriously, thank goodness. This has been one long week. This weekend will be busy as well. Birthdays abound! Nicholas turned 7 and we are hosting a friend party, the goal is to hunt pokémon. Benjamin turns 15 Sunday. We are still debating how to celebrate his fun day. Anyway, onto birthday cards.

Welcome to another TGIF Challenge!!! And, it's a SKETCH challenge for you to work with. I love sketch challenges. Having a sketch to start with takes so much pressure off and makes putting elements together easy.

Today's card features the Happy Birthday Thinlet and Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set, two new favorites from the new catalog. I cut apart the 'Happy' from the thinlet and paired it with the stamped 'birthday' from Happy Birthday Gorgeous. This card also features two new In Colors, Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist.

I love how the petal shape in the Petal Burst embossing folder matches so well with the leaves in this stamp set. This card also features two new punches! Yeah for new.

Check out the TGIF Challenge blog to see how all of the designers interpreted this sketch. Play along with us! Thanks for dropping in.

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!

Rose Wonder - Stamp Review Crew

March 5, 2017

Welcome back! Today the Stamp Review Crew is stamping with Rose Wonder. This is a large stamp set with many different occasion verses included in the set. The set has coordinating thinlets. Both are available in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. I chose to create a wedding card and used the Wedding Wishes phrase. The lace border image along the bottom comes from the Delicate Details stamp set, which is part of Sale-a-bration and can be earned for free with any 50$ USD purchase.

A note about this card ... I likely won't be recreating anytime soon. I had this great idea to use the negative spaces from the large rose thinlet as the primary image for my card. I really love the look of this but, boy, it was a time suck. It also uses a fair amount of foam adhesive or Stampin' dimensionals.

To create the flower I die cut the large rose and left all of the pieces carefully in place in the die. Next, from the back side of the rose I added foam adhesive to all of the negative pieces. Some of those negative pieces are super tiny so I needed to cut down the dimensionals a bit. Then I adhered the rose to the card front and carefully pulled the positive rose image away from the negative rose image. Viola! Looks so simple but it really took forever.

Are you ready to be really inspired? Hop along to the talented Rochelle to see her lovely project. If you are traveling backwards visit Charlene, another amazing stamper! You can always start form the beginning at the Stamp Review Crew blog.

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!
