Hello Magnolia Stamp Club Card for June

2019-06-18T08:00:00.000-04:00

The Good Morning Magnolia bundle is wonderful to create cards with. Stamping the large magnolia with Memento Black ink and using Stampin' Blends to color in the magnolia makes a card so easy and quick to create. For this card, I used the Bronze, Old Olive, Petal Pink blends to color in the large magnolia. Adding a Gold Faceted Dot in the middle of the magnolia really adds a gorgeous touch to any card. Have you purchased the Good Morning Magnolia bundle yet? If not, don't wait too long. You will want to stamp with this set for a long time to come.

Z-fold card opened fully

Tip: Cut out a piece of thick Whisper White cardstock with the Magnolia Memory dies to adhere to the back of your large magnolia. This way you will not be able to see the blends come through the back of the cardstock when you adhere it to z-fold of the card.

Wonderful You Lunch Bunch Card for May

2019-05-21T08:00:00.000-04:00

This gorgeous card was made with the Rooted in Nature stamp set and Nature's Roots Framelits. The Sahara Sand and Petal Pink layers were created using the Stitched Labels Framelits. They have become my go-to when I want to add a touch of feminine to a card. The words "wonderful you" is part of two sentiments from the Rooted in Nature stamp set. We fussy cut around the words and added them to the card using mini dimensionals.

Lemonade Lunch Bunch Card for May

2019-05-19T08:00:00.000-04:00

The Lemon Zest and Jar of Love stamp sets made this adorable summer card possible. Who doesn't love a little mason jar full of lemons? The lemons and mason jar made me think of making lemonade with my kids during the summer. We love to have a few fun projects to create over the summer including lemonade and popsicles. I punched out a little window sheet to put in the front of the lemons in the mason jar to make it look more realistic. Isn't it so cute!

Beach Happy Stamp Club Card for May

2019-05-14T08:00:00.000-04:00

The Beach Happy stamp set in the Occasions Catalog makes me long for beach days. With the school year almost over and summer weather beginning a bit early here in NC, I can't wait to go to the beach again this year! The first card was created with paper piecing for the beach umbrella and beach chair.

Original Card Design by Tina Rappe on Pinterest

This second beach card uses mostly Pineapple Punch with a touch of Pumpkin Pie sequins. It is bright and sunny!

Original Card Design by Jackie Noble on Pinterest

This third beach card reminds me of something in the tropics. Flirty Flamingo, Mango Meloday, Old Olive and a touch of Crumb Cake make this card very inviting. Tip: If you are using photopolymer stamp sets, you can bend them and shape them however you would like while putting them onto your clear block. Then, you can create a different look with your stamp sets like the palm tree bending to the left in this card.

Flowering Desert Stamp Club Card for May

2019-05-09T08:00:00.000-04:00

The Flowering Desert stamp set was a quick favorite of mine in the Occasions Catalog this year. Unfortunately, it will not be returning in the new catalog. I will still ink up this stamp set and use it for some beautiful desert scenes. Sometimes you just need a different type of stamp set to create an unusual card. I loved the color combinations used in this card: Call Me Clover, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green and Petal Pink. They remind me of colors you would see during sunset near the mountains and deserts.

Sailing Home Stamp Club Card for May

2019-05-07T08:00:00.000-04:00

The Sailing Home bundle became my first purchase in the new catalog. Demonstrators get to see and pre-order items from new catalogs a month before customers. So if you would like to get a sneak peek and be able to use products sooner, you will want to become a demonstrator and you will be able to save 20% with each order.
When we needed a Father's Day card this year, I knew I had to ink up the Sailing Home stamp set. This card also uses the new In Color - Seaside Spray for the waves. This blue is a perfect shade to complement the blues we already have. Adding the new Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker's Twine in a knot at the bottom of the card adds a bit of dimension and a nice masculine touch to the card. To create the lightly colored boats, I inked the boat stamp in Night of Navy then took a Blender Pen to the boats to blend the ink while it was still wet.

Beautiful Day Lunch Bunch Card for April

2019-04-30T08:00:00.000-04:00

I love the Abstract Impressions stamp set! It is so much fun to use and gives your cards or projects a different look. Adding the different types of flower images to a piece of cardstock transforms the card instantly. You can add any color combinations you like but I absolutely LOVED the orange and purple tones in this card. It made me instantly think of SPRING and how nice the weather is during one of my favorite seasons.

Painted Seasons Lunch Bunch Card for April

2019-04-25T08:00:00.000-04:00

The Painted Seasons (SAB) stamp set made these cards so easy to create. The color combination of Blueberry Bushel, Coastal Cabana, Mango Melody and Sahara Sand make these cards really "pop" and makes it feel like summer. The first card is a shaker card with the Iridescent Sequins inside. The second card has a circle frame but is not a shaker. The bird is cut out using the Birds and Blooms Thinlits (soon to retire) and Champagne Foil Sheets.

Butterfly Gala Stamp Club Card for April

2019-04-16T08:00:00.000-04:00

I wasn't sure about the Butterfly Gala bundle when I first saw it in the Occasions Catalog. But I LOVE how it was used in this card originally designed by Kylie Page on Pinterest. The bright colors with a black and white polka dotted background just make the butterflies absolutely "pop." The Butterfly Duet Punch makes creating this card so simple since you can cut out 2 butterflies at once (a large one and a small one at the same time). I hope you will give this Butterfly Gala bundle a try before it's gone!

Changed it up to be a birthday card and I absolutely LOVE the plaid DSP!

My 10-year old daughter created this one by listening to my instructions.

To create the butterflies with two-toned color, I stamped the wings (top then bottom) in a lighter color first (example, Lemon Lime Twist) then I stamped off to make it lighter. Next, I used a sponge dauber to add a darker color on the edge of the wings (example, Granny Apple Green). I love the look of the two-toned butterflies and how much color and dimension it gives to both the large and small butterflies!

All for You Stamp Club Card for April

2019-04-11T08:00:00.000-04:00

Some people are intimated by vellum. I think it adds a nice touch to any card and softens the look of the card at the same time. For this card, we embossed the large flower image in white embossing powder then colored the back of the image with Stampin' Blends. When you color the back of the image, it lightens the color and makes sure there is no smearing on the card due to the ink. For this card, I created it as a Mother's Day card. Simple and elegant all at once.

If you enjoy this look but want to soften the look, you can emboss the image in white embossing powder and leave it like that. No coloring on the back. It looks just as nice on a card or project.

Lovely Day Stamp Club Card for April

2019-04-09T08:00:00.000-04:00

This month's Stamp Club created this gorgeous card. I absolutely LOVE the Floral Romance Speciality DSP with the touches of printed designs on the vellum. Using the Forever Lovely stamp set and the Lovely Flowers Edgelits gave this card a bit of elegance that couldn't have been achieved without them. Amy added the Frosted Flower embellishments to her card which I CASEd and it gave a nice look to her card. I didn't have any so I added extra pink flowers with the gold metallic pearls.

Stampin' Up! recently came out with a new Sale-A-Bration offering...the Painted Seasons bundle (a stamp set and DSP). I absolutely LOVE it! The stamp set can be used for different seasons and the DSP adds great color combinations.

If you haven't gotten your hands on this stamp set, framelits and DSP, make sure to order them before March 31st!

The next card we created during Stamp Club this month used the Follow Your Dreams stamp set and Chase Your Dreams framelits. I love boho designs lately and have been researching new blog designs using dream catchers so this card was perfect for me. The colors Highland Heather, Pool Party and Rich Razzleberry was delightful together. The Chase Your Dreams framelits made this card so easy to put together.

Home to Roost Easel Card for March Stamp Club

2019-03-05T08:00:00.000-05:00

The first card we created at Stamp Club this month was an Easel card using the Home to Roost (SAB) stamp set. I love the Wood Textures DSP look behind the rooster. We watercolored the rooster using the colors: Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake and Real Red using an Aquapainter. To create this simple easel card all you need to do is cut a card base like normal (4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2") then score again on one side at 2". This creates the base for the front of the card. Then attach the front of your card to the 2" section of the cardbase with an adhesive of your choice.

The second card we created during Lunch Bunch this month used the Lovely Lattice (SAB) set and the Basket Weave Embossing Folder.

Incredible Like You Lunch Bunch Card for February

2019-02-23T08:00:00.000-05:00

This month's Lunch Bunch cards are both flowers. Both are bright and cheerful but used different stamp sets and layouts. The first card we created used the Incredible Like You stamp set from the Occasions Catalog. The bright colors and unexpected layout gives this card a lot of appeal. The ribbon softens the look of the card and adds dimension as well.

A candy jar, bright colors and gingham paper all added to the charm of this card. The original card idea used the color combinations of Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Grapefruit Grove and Soft Suede. It wasn't my favorite when I CASEd the card so I switched it up by using Balmy Blue, Flirty Flamingo, Gorgeous Grape and Pear Pizzazz. Which card do you like the best?

Humming Along Stamp Club Card for February

2019-02-07T08:00:00.000-05:00

The next card we created during Stamp Club this month used a "smooshing" technique. For the technique, pick up your ink with a clear block, spritz with water and lift the ink with a window sheet. Then place your window sheet on your image. It is another way to give your card a watercolored look that isn't perfect. For this card, we used the Humming Along bundle from the Occasions Catalog. Some customers used the flower and others used the hummingbird. Either image gave a wonderful look to our Club cards and made using the "smooshing" technique a lot of fun to try.

Lasting Lily Stamp Club Card for February

2019-02-05T08:00:00.000-05:00

This month our Stamp Club created 2 flower based cards and a whimsical birthday card using Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration Catalog items. The first card we created used the Lasting Lily (SAB) stamp set and the Botantical Butterfly (SAB) DSP. I loved the bright color combinations of Granny Apple Green and Rich Razzleberry. Tip: Make sure your ink pad is not too juicy when using any of SU!'s Disinktive stamps. If it's too juicy, the image won't look like a photographic image and usually is too dark. To remove a bit of the ink from an ink pad, take a paper towel and press it on the ink pad or take the back of a spoon and press the ink down into the ink pad. Both methods should give your image a nice look.

Forever Lovely Lunch Bunch Card for January

2019-01-19T08:00:00.000-05:00

This month has been full of new stamp sets, framelits or thinlits, DSP and embellishments. I love using Stampin' Up! products when I'm creating and I love the new Occasions and SAB Catalogs right now! The first card uses the Polished Stone technique. It's been a long time since I've used a technique like this on my cards. It gives this Valentine's Day card, Anniversary card or "just because" card a gorgeous, classy look. I used the colors Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam and a touch of Champagne Shimmer Paint to create the Polished Stone look. To create the Polished Stone look, you put a jumbo cotton ball on a bull clip and add a bit of rubbing alcohol. Next, add drops of reinker of your choice and shimmer paint to the cotton ball. Lastly, drab the cotton ball on Glossy White cardstock in a pattern or just all over the layer. The idea for this card came from Lynsay Mahon and Pinterest. I loved her card so much I had to CASE it!
