Celebrate Sunflowers Class

I have a new class to share with you today! When you purchase this class, you'll get supplies to make 6 cards - 2 each of 3 designs, plus one gift box. Sunflowers might make you think of summer, but I think these projects have a fall vibe. 

 

There are options for every price range. 

Option #1 ($88): This option includes the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle, a 1/4 package of Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper, Gilded Gems, Braided Linen Trim, a Sponge Dauber, cardstock, envelopes, and step by step instructions for creating the projects.
Option #2 ($56): This option includes the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set, but NO dies, and everything else listed above.
Option #3 ($27): This option does not include stamps or dies, but does include everything else listed above.
Option #4 ($15): This option includes the tutorial only.

 

If you'd like to purchase this class, you can sign up here.

 

Happy Stamping!

Tulip Congratulations

A few days ago, I saw some BEAUTIFUL photos of red tulips with the In Good Taste paper as the backdrop. It was so pretty, and inspired today's card!

For the tulips, I inked my stamps in Poppy Parade ink, and then used a sponge dauber to add a little bit of Melon Mambo on the bottom and sides. It's subtle here, but this is a fun trick to add multiple colors to your stamped image! The sentiment is once again from the stamp set 'A Grand Kid.' (Have I convinced you yet that you need this sentiment stamp set in your life?!)

The card is finished off with a few Frosted Epoxy Droplets, which have been colored with the Dark Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends Marker. Here is a full list of supplies:

Stamps: A Grand Kid, Timeless Tulips

Ink: Poppy Parade, Melon Mambo, Old Olive; Stampin' Blends: Dark Poppy Parade

Paper: Early Espresso, Whisper White, In Good Taste DSP

Embellishments: Braided Linen Trim, Frosted Epoxy Droplets

Tools: Tulip Builder Punch, Versamark, White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Happy Stamping!

Thinking of You Fall Card

The Come to Gather DSP is so pretty for fall, and it was the starting point for this card. My color combination was a blend of Merry Merlot, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, and Very Vanilla. I don't use Very Vanilla often, but it was the perfect fit this time!

I also pulled out the Colorful Seasons stamp set. This one has been around for a few years, but it has the prettiest fall leaves, especially in the coordinating dies! For this project, I simply stamped the leaf outline. I thought it coordinated with the DSP, and knowing Stampin' Up!, that was probably intentional!

This paper has so many pretty patterns. Come back on Thursday to see another card featuring this paper!

Stamps: Colorful Seasons
Ink: Crumb Cake, Merry Merlot
Paper: Merry Merlot, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Come to Gather DSP
Embellishments: Holiday Rhinestones, Braided Linen Trim
Tools: Stitched Nested Labels Dies, Die Cutting Tool
Adhesives: SNAIL, Stampin' Dimensionals

Happy Stamping!

Christmas Card Club: Timeless Tidings

It's time for the last month of my Christmas Card Club already! Don't worry though - I've got a few more Christmas-themed classes to go planned between now and Christmas.


This month's class features the Timeless Tidings stamp set. With your class kit, you'll receive the stamp set in your choice of wood or clear mount, a roll of Braided Linen Trim, and the supplies and instructions to make 15 cards (5 each of those pictured below), plus envelopes. You supply your own ink and adhesive. I used Mossy Meadow ink to complete these cards.

But wait, there's more! This stamp set goes with the Timeless Tidings Project Kit, and if you'd like to add it onto your class, I will throw in 5 bonus cards (the one pictured below)!

The cost is $61 plus $7 shipping for wood mount, and $52 plus $7 shipping for clear mount. If you'd like to add on the project kit, ink, or adhesives, just let me know and I will adjust the cost for you. Per Stampin' Up! policy, you must email me for a link to purchase this kit. The deadline to purchase is November 23, and I will mail the kits out by November 30. However, if you purchase early, I will do my best to get it out sooner to you!

Happy Stamping!

Facebook Live: Snow is Glistening

Are you ready for some Christmas crafting? No, not yet? Let me tell you a little secret. I craft for Christmas all year! I love to make my own Christmas cards, and we have close to 150 people on our list, so.... I need to start early! On my recent Facebook Live, I shared a card using one of the cute little Galvanized Buttons as a Christmas tree topper.

Curious about the stamps used on this card? They come from the set Snow is Glistening, which is a limited time product available to customers in November. That snowflake Christmas tree is so pretty!


You can see how I put this card together here. Thanks for watching!


Stamps: Snow is Glistening
Ink: Whisper White Craft Ink, Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede
Paper: Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White, Soft Suede

No Line Watercoloring with Country Home

Have you seen this technique yet? No line watercoloring is a new technique to me, but I had to try it after seeing some beautiful projects that were made using it. If you're curious about how it works, you can watch my Facebook Live from today. Basically, you stamp an image in a very light color - I used Sahara Sand stamped off once. Then you watercolor using an Aqua Painter and your ink pads. Here's the result:

It's a different look, but very artistic, I think. I'll be sharing a card later this week that I used Stampin' Blends to color, and the two looks are completely different! Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Stamps: Country Home
Ink: Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss
Paper: Whisper White, Blackberry Bliss, Shimmery White, Wood Textures DSP
Accessories & Tools: Aqua Painter, Galvanized Buttons, Braided Linen Trim, Versamark, White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool

Happy Stamping!
