Fancy Friday Blog Hop - Blue Christmas

November 21, 2019

Blue Christmas! That is our Fancy Friday theme this month. What a great theme, don’t you think? Shades of blues are a great choice for holiday cardmaking. I find they can be awesome for Christmas, Hanukkah, and winter in general. I opted to create a card for the season celebrating a snowy winter using Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay. I love how these two teal blues play off of each other.

The snowflake images are from the Christmas Layers dies. I die cut multiples of these (3). I am a big fan and love how these Coastal Cabana snowflakes look tiled across this Bermuda Bay card base. These snowflakes have been tacked down using the Fine-Tip glue pen.

Ready to see more? You just arrived from the fabulous (and always a pro with blue) Lauren. Next up is the amazing Paula. I can’t wait to see what she and all my fancy friends have created for a BLUE Christmas.

Beautiful Friendship Birthday Card- Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Fancy Friday Blog Hop - Flowers (Beautiful Friendship)

September 26, 2019

Do you like floral stamps as much as I do? I think I use florals more than most stamps. The Stampin’ Up! catalog is full of beautiful floral stamps: Magnolia Lane, Daisy Lane, Floral Essence, Bloom and Grow, Beautiful Friendship are just a few! One of my favorites is Beautiful Friendship. I like the watercolor look of the roses and the fonts in this set are fantastic.

I created a birthday card with a big bouquet of roses. I used shades of pinks and corals. Bermuda Bay makes a great green and really compliments the pink flowers. A full list of supplies can be found below.

Ready to see more? Next up is the amazing Teneale. I can’t wait to see what she and all my fancy friends have created using flowers.

Monday Montage 146 - Beautiful Friendship

August 25, 2019

The Montage Montage crew is back today to share what we are working on.

This week I was playing around with the Beautiful Friendship stamp set … just for fun. No reason other than to craft. I did need to create a wedding card but ended up with a birthday card. Lol. Here is the card I came up with. It’s sweet and simple with a few nice layers all clustered in the center of the card.

I’m digging these colors together: Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, Sahara Sand Bermuda Bay & Basic Black. The black really makes everything POP.

The Monday Montage crew is a talented bunch. A quick refresher, the Montage gals host a blog hop every other Monday showing you fun and exciting Stampin’ Up! products. Ready for more Stampin’ Up! inspiration? Be sure to loop through the entire hop and see all of the amazing artwork created just to inspire! Next up is Cheryl.

Birch - Stamp Review Crew

August 18, 2019

Welcome to the Birch Edition of Stamp Review Crew. I love background stamps. What could be better than a really large stamp? When I say I love them, I really do. I have a collection. I never get rid of them. I’ve posted a few pictures of my collection at the end of this post.

This background stamp is the pattern of a Birch tree. I’ve used it on my card inside the stitched window. I’ve also created a couple of napkin rings. The Birch looks so real. Just like it was shed from a tree. Both projects also use the Beautiful Friendship stamp set.

What is the Stamp Review Crew? We are an international group of paper crafters that get together to feature and review a single Stampin’ Up! stamp set on the first and third Monday of each month. All of our previous stamp set reviews are archived. Click here to see all of the hops!

Ready for more inspiration using this stamp set? Next up is Lou. Be sure to go through the hop to see what ALL my talented friends have created using this set. Thanks in advance for taking the time to comment. I love to hear from you.

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!
