How-To Use Stampin' Blends to Colour Silver & Gold Designer Series Paper

2022-07-28T19:00:00.152-04:00

The Silver & Gold 6x6 DSP is really pretty but lacks some colour. The best thing about this paper is that you can add your own colour very easily! For today's card you'll learn how to use the Stampin' Blends to colour the Silver & Gold Designer Series Paper (DSP). I hadn't tried using Stampin' Blends with this paper before and I love how it turned out!

The first step is deciding what colours to use. Because this is a Christmas card I decided to go the green route. Out came my pile of green Stampin' Blends! What are Stampin' Blends? They are high-quality alcohol markers that are sold in a combo pack that has a dark shade and a light shade, for an amazing colour blending experience. When choosing colours I used a few small strips of the DSP to figure out what order looked best. The colours on this card from left to right are: Mint Macaron dark, Shaded Spruce light, Bermuda Bay light, Granny Apple Green light and Mossy Meadow light. I suggest using the light Blends first and add in the dark if the colour isn't what you were expecting. Tip: Start from the lightest shade you have, I started on the left side with Mint Macaron. When done adding the second colour take the first colour and colour over the joining line. This will blend the colours a bit making the different colour less harsh.

To finish the card I pulled out the cure Handmade Wished stamp and punch because it has some wonderful greetings with different fonts that you can mix and match for tags to put onto homemade treats or add to your holiday cards. I changed up the direction of the merry stamp as it is designed to be curved as shown in the photo below but I was able to mostly straighten the stamp as I put the it on a clear block. You can change the shape a little for some photopolymer stamps as the material is bendy where the red rubber stamp aren't able to be shaped when putting them on a block.

The Handmade Wishes bundle includes the Handmade Wishes Photopolymer stamp set and Handmade Tag Punch. When you purchase these two items as a bundle you save 10% off the price of buying the stamp and punch separately. Plus, bundles will help you quickly cut out stamped images for a single project or create multiples of the same project with ease. This bundle is $50.25 and you would need to choose $9.75, such as the Tear & Tape adhesive, to reach $60, then you can choose the Silver & Gold DSP for free.

Create a Christmas Card Using the Santa Express Memories & More Card Pack

2022-07-26T19:00:00.050-04:00

Have you started thinking about Christmas cards or making them yet? I figured that if I can make at least one or two Christmas cards each month that means there are less I need to make come November when I look at the list I'm sending cards to! An easy way to create Christmas Card is using the Santa Express Memories & More Card Pack.

Santa Express Memories & More Card Pack - Item # 159595

This card pack includes multiples of the cards. In total there are 54 cards: 6 each of 6 designs in 3" x 4" and 6 each of 3 designs in 4" x 6". The card pack also includes 2 sheets of stickers, 4 acetate overlays, and 2 laser-cut sheets to embellish your projects.

This easy card was created using the card pack along with the red card from the Memories & More Cards & Envelopes. You can create 20 cards really easy with these two products and can add other items from the Santa Express Suite if you'd like. May I suggest the coordinating designer series paper? For today's card I layered the candy cane card onto the card base. The cards are 4.25" x 6.25" so that you don't have to cut down the 4" x 6" card from the card pack. The sentiment "it's the most wonderful time of the year" is cut from one of the 3" x 4" cards. I'm keeping the top part of the card that has a pile of presents on it for another project. Not sure what the project is but it's nice to keep the pieces for when you think of the best use of it! That's where the red and white stripe strip is from, another project that I trimmed down a 4" x 6" card. For the white tag you could use some Basic White cardstock but I used the center of one card to die cut using one of the labels from the Seasonal Labels dies. What do you think of this card?

Scrapbooking with Today is the Day Memories & More Card Pack

2022-07-23T21:00:00.074-04:00

Scrapbooking is what introduced me to Stampin' Up!. My friend, Andrea, shared that I could use stamps and ink to make embellishments for my scrapbook layouts instead of trying to find the right sticker! Over the years I've switched from what I call "normal layouts" like today's layout to pocket pages. Scroll on through this post to see how scrapbooking with Today is the Day Memories & More Card Pack can make it easier to craft layouts.

Using a Memories & More card pack is very different from using a pack of designer series paper when crafting a 12" x 12" scrapbook layout. One trick is to take either two 3" x 4" cards or one 4" x 6" card to put on either side of a photo like I did above. The grid paper style is a 4" x 6" card cut at 1.5" on the long side. There's a video below to see learn to create this layout.

The white card with the leaves on it was coloured using the Mint Macaron Stampin' Blends. Just to add a little colour to the card and I wasn't worried about colouring outside the lines. Tip: pick a stamp set you like that looks good with the cards you've chosen for your layout. Then you can stamp directly onto some of the cards or onto your base layer of your layout.

What To do With the Making Plans Collection

2022-07-19T19:00:00.109-04:00

Are you someone who uses a planner? Or are you like me and use an app for that? I was intrigued when I saw the Making Plans Collection on page 19 of the Sale-A-Bration catalogue. During the demonstrator preorder in June, one of my favourite reasons to be a demonstrator, I was able to add the planner to my order so that I could play with all the pieces to share ideas on how you can use it! In this blog post I'll share 3 ideas of what to do with the Making Plans Collection and how you can receive it for free.

The outside of the planner is gorgeous with the floral images, a strip of Calypso Coral on the binding and the cover is closer to Very Vanilla than white. It's kept closed with a magnetic clasp and inside there is a loop to hold your favourite pen. Inside it's very pink (I'm a big fan of purple!) but has a removable divider, a large pocket and smaller pockets for notes.

Also included with the planner is a thick stack of paper! Calendars are included up until Dec 2023, along with weekly priorities sheets, dividers, and some blank pages. The Making Plans stamp set is also included in this collection. Perfect to add words or bullets to your planner. Or use it on other projects. If you'd like to watch a video on what is in the Making Plans Collection use this link: http://Planner.FromWhereIStamp.ca

The first idea is to use it as a planner, either in monthly or weekly format. List items such as holidays, birthdays and appointments. This is also a great way to track any workshops or Stampin' Up! events you will host or attend. Keep your notes in it too.

A second way is to use the planner to create a scrapbook! The 6" x 8" photo pocket pages fit in the planner but need 4 extra holes added to work with the binder rings. The pages are wider than the pages included in the collection but the planner cover will still close nicely. I used the Today's the Day Memories & More card pack to fill in the pockets, but you could slip in some photos or even create your own pocket cards using designer series paper or cardstock. This memories & more card pack includes fun & inspirational quotes. A bonus idea is to use this as a inspiration journal album!

The third idea is a card sending reminder. Keep track of birthdays and anniversaries on the monthly calendars. Then use the 6" x 8" full size pocket page to keep envelopes & cards that you will send out that month. Once you make a birthday card, slip it into the large pocket page with a completed envelope and it's ready to send. Keep the pocket page tucked behind the month calendar for easy access.

Yeti to Party Christmas Card Using Watercolour Pencils

2022-07-14T19:00:00.096-04:00

July is World Watercolour Month. I love to watercolour so this is a great excuse to show you some tips and tricks to create a Yeti to Party Christmas card using the Watercolour Pencils. Today's card uses the Yeti to Party stamp set. It's adorable & perfect for birthdays and Christmas!

This Yeti jumped out at me in the Jul-Dec Mini Catalogue cause it's so darn cute! It can be found on page 38 of the catalogue. And on the next page you will find the Whimsical Woodland 3D Embossing Folder. For this card I've added some White Craft Ink to the embossed Shaded Spruce cardstock using a Sponge Dauber to add the ink to the raised trees. It adds a layer of interest to your card. Have you tried adding ink to an embossed image, drop me a comment below to let me know.

Yeti to Party stamp set Item # 159826

In the above photo you can see the trees that I used both Granny Apple Green that is very close to the Parakeet Party ink used to stamp the trees and Garden Green. Mixing pencil colours can expand the colours you have access to. I did the same with the mountains, mixed Balmy Blue and Cajun Craze together. There are 2 packs of Watercolour Pencils available from Stampin' Up!. If you have both packs then you can mix and match the colours.

To add colour using the Watercolour Pencils is adult colouring! Fill in as much of the image you want with the pencil(s). Add more pressure but not too much if you want a portion to be darker. Next step is to decide if you want to soften the lines or colours. If you do, like I have on this card, you would use a Blender Pen to add liquid to the Watercolour Pencil lines to blend the colour. A word of warning if you use Basic White cardstock like I did, be careful how much you blend or how hard you press down with both your pencils and Blender Pen or you will damage the cardstock.

Christmas Scrapbook Layout Using the Tree Lot Dies

2022-07-07T20:30:00.052-04:00

Do you like pine trees? I think pine trees are one of my favourite objects to take pictures of, second only to taking pictures of neat looking clouds. Why am I talking about pine trees? Today's project shows how you can create some cardstock pine trees and create a Christmas scrapbook layout using the Tree Lot Dies.

There are some fun layers in the Tree Lot dies. The cardstock colours chosen for the trees were pulled from the Painted Christmas designer series paper (DSP) that is a returning favourite from last year! Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz and Evening Evergreen were die cut and glued together using the Adhesive Sheets. The Adhesive Sheets are thin double-sided adhesive that you pull off one side and put the sticky side down on the cardstock, die cut your pine tree intricate die then peel off the second backing and stick to the full pine tree die cut. No glue escapes onto your fingers, your project or your workspace! It's awesome stuff.

For this layout I've used the Crumb Cake cardstock as photo layers. Each is 0.25" bigger than the pictures I plan to put on them. 4.25" x 4.25", 4.25" x 6.25" and 5.25" x 4.25". You could use part of one or a whole one for your journaling or add a piece of Basic White cardstock above the square photo layer.

A closer look at the detail of the page. Embellishments added were the gold trim found in the Simply Elegant Trim package and some gold dots from the Brushed Metallic Adhesive-backed dots. Adding a few embellishments to your scrapbook layout ties all the elements together.
