stamp review crew: free as a bird

By

Time for another Stamp Review Crew Blog Hop! Today we are putting the beautiful Free As A Bird stamp set in the spotlight. This set is part of the amazing Bird Ballad Suite of products which includes the gorgeous Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper, Nested Label Dies and Bird Ballad Trinkets. (All of which I used on today’s card!)

I saw a fantastic card layout done by Ronda Wade and it inspired me to try it with these products. It is a fun tri-fold card that let’s you feature the beautiful DSP in a unique way. Here is the front of the card as it is closed. I cut a window with one of the Nested Label Dies. I love that you get the stitching on both the cut out and the negative. Next I fussy cut around the branch of birds that I had colored with my Stampin’ Blends. I wrapped some Linen Thread around the side and tied on one of the Bird Ballad Trinkets.

When you open the front of the card, you get a great view of that beautiful paper.

But, that is not where it ends! Open it one more time…

You get a peek at the reverse side of the beautiful DSP. On the center panel, I added a Petal Pink panel that I stamped on with Petal Pink ink for a tone on tone look. I used the Nested Label that I cut out from the card front for the sentiment and added a flower and leaves that I colored with Stampin’ Blends and fussy cut out.

stamp review crew: piece of cake

By

Time for another Stamp Review Crew blog hop! Today we are shining a spotlight on Piece of Cake. This is such a fun set. I mean come on, who doesn’t like cake! As my first card says “Cake is the answer…who cares what the question is!”

I went for a bright color scheme for my first card. Bermuda Bay, Poppy Parade and I just realized I used Lemon Lime Twist which, much to my dismay, has retired. You could also use Granny Apple Green.) I used thin strip of striped Bermuda Bay DSP to balance the cakes on the opposite edge. The little heart epoxy droplet was colored with my Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends.

For my second project, I wanted to showcase the great sentiments in the set. Colors used are Pool Party, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green and Rich Razzleberry.

What is the Stamp Review Crew? We are an international group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators that get together to blog hop the first and third Monday of each month. For each hop we chose a single stamp set to feature. All of our hops are archived. Click here to see all of the hops!

Be sure to check out what the rest of the SRC Design Team has done with this fun set. I’m sending you over to my friend Lou or you can go back to Nikki.

osat blog hop: something old, something new

By

The One Stamp At A Time crew is back with another blog hop! Our theme this month is Something Old, Something New – blending new and returning products in the 2019-20 Stampin’ Up! catalog. I love this time of year. All the new goodies bringing fresh inspiration and breathing new life into the supplies I already have. This hop is a great way to look at older supplies with a fresh eye.

For my projects I chose to pair the old Flourish die set, Well Said stamp set which carried over from the Occasions catalog and the NEW In Color Seaside Spray. I was die cutting lots of the flower for a swap and trying to maximize my paper. When I was done, I loved the look and decided to turn it into a card.

I stamped the Seaside Spray die cut piece with Crackle Paint background stamp in Seaside Spray ink and layered it with dimensionals on a Whisper White card base. I love the shadows popping it up gives. I masked off the With Love & Sympathy sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings and embossed it in white on night of Navy card stock. I added a paper pieced flower top and a rhinestone to finish it off. Simple, yet elegant.

I kept the simple elegance going for my coordinating project.

I added a die cut panel to a gable treat box. (which i just realized are retired. Oops. You could do the same thing with one of the pizza boxes.) The sentiment is from Well Said. A little rhinestone in the flower is a fun detail.

This is a great duo to let someone know how much they mean to you. Thanks for stopping by. Go check out the rest of the hop to see the amazing projects the OSAT Design Team has created.

stamp review crew: lilypad lake

By

The Stamp Review Crew is back! Today we are featuring the wonderful Lilypad Lake. I hope you will hop through and check out the wonderful creations the design teams have to share with you!

For my first card, I went for an ombre background using Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay. I stamped the Crane in Gray granite and added a few Pool Party shadows with my aqua painter. Embossing folders help add texture and interest to an otherwise simple card. Pinewood Planks on the card base and Subtle on the Stitched Circle die cut.

My second card went a bit more rustic with the help of the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper. Reminds me of a framed painting. The sun and sentiment banner are colored with Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends.

What is the Stamp Review Crew? We are an international group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators that get together to create projects using a specific stamp set. We blog hop on the first and third Monday of each month. I’m excited for you to see what my talented friends have created.

inky friends: last chance blog hop

By

The new Stampin’ Up! catalog is coming! That means lots of exciting, fun new stamp sets to create with. It also means that we need to say good-bye to others. For today’s Inky Friends Last Chance Blog Hop we are going to showcase some of those wonderful sets that are bidding us farewell.

My projects put the super fun set Blow Out The Candles on stage. I think this set was really overlooked in the catalog. Which is a shame. It is some much fun! Be sure to grab it for yourself before it is gone for good.

My first card is a really quick one with a bright color scheme. Pool Party, Gorgeous Grape, and my FAVE Lemon Lime Twist. This would be great to make a bunch of cards to have on hand in different color schemes.

I stepped things up with this next card. I absolutely LOVE how it turned out!!

I wanted another bright color palette, so I went with Coastal Cabana, Poppy Parade and (surprise) Lemon Lime Twist. I also used the Stitched Shapes and Stitched Labels framelits for some added detail. Finished off with a tiny little knot of Poppy Parade striped ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to check out the rest of the stops on the blog hop for more amazing inspiration. From here you can go on to Rhonda or back to Sara. You can find the full blog roll on the Inky Friends page.

osat blog hop: fabulous florals

By

It is time for another One Stamp at a Time blog hop! Today, we are spotlighting those fabulous florals. I am SO ready for them to start blooming around here. I was over winter three months ago! And yet we keep getting cold weather and snow… ah, spring time in Minnesota.

My projects feature the beautiful All That You Are stamp set and the gorgeous Floral Romance Designer Series Paper in the 2019 Occasions Catalog.

This card and sweet little gift box would be great for a bridal shower or for a good friend.

I started with a Soft Sea Foam card base and stamped the floral spray in Mossy Meadow. The floral vellum in the Floral Romance dsp is so beautiful. And the dark leaves help hide the adhesive as does the corrugated Mossy Meadow strip. The sentiment is embossed in white on Fresh Fig card stock and tied with a bit of the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon. A few Frosted Flower embellishments with pearls in the center complete the card.

This adorable little gift box uses one of the Clear Tiny Treat boxes wrapped in the floral vellum. The top is decorated with the flowers and other dies from the Frosted Bouquet Framelits.

A little bit of Fresh Fig ribbon and some pearls are the perfect accents for the florals. The sentiment is from the Well Said stamp set also in the 2019 Occasions Catalog.

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to check out all of the great Fabulous Floral projects the OSAT design Team has to share! Please click on the blue box below for a pop up list of the design team.

stamp review crew: incredible like you

By

After a too long hiatus, I am so happy to be back hopping with the Stamp Review Crew! We have a great blog hop featuring the fun stamp set Incredible Like You from the 2019 Occasions Catalog.

My first card features a fun floral wreath. Colors used are Flirty Flamingo, Poppy Parade, Lemon Lime Twist, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, and Coastal Cabana. A fun and bright greeting for a friend!

My second card has a much softer feel using Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam. I stamped directly on the Wood Textures dsp. The dots and sentiment are embossed in white. I traced around the word amazing with my Petal Pink Stampin’ Write Marker to highlight it.

osat blog hop: #simplestamping

By

It is the second Thursday of the month. That means it is time for another One Stamp at a Time blog hop! The theme for this month is #simplestamping. Stampin’ Up! challenged us this year to get back to basics: stamps, ink and paper. As fun as it can be to go crazy with layers, embellishments and details, clean and simple can be just as effective.

Varied Vases is a great set for simple stamping! Stamp a few vases and a bold greeting and you have a great card to send someone a little hello. Vase colors are Pear Pizzazz, Calypso Coral and Petal Pink.

Varied Vases: sour cream treat container - Center Stage Stamping

Simple Stamping also works for a cute little treat like this little sour cream container. I added a 1″ circle punch and a bit of Petal Pink metallic bakers twine for the little tag. Perfect for a couple of Hershey Kisses – chocolate is always a win!

Be sure to check out everyones #simplestamping creations on the blog hop and then give it a try yourself. Don’t forget to upload your creation to social media with the hashtag #simplestamping. You can find the full blog roll call by clicking on the little blue rectangle below.

stamp review crew: first frost

By

Welcome to another Stamp Review Crew blog hop! *The Stamp Review Crew is a group of International Stampin’ Up! demonstrators who want to show you how much you can do with ONE stamp set. Each edition the SR Crew will showcase a new featured stamp set. Each stop along the hop will show you a different idea, or ideas using that set!* Today we are hopping to bring you some inspiration for the beautiful First Frost stamp set.  This set is part of the gorgeous Frosted Floral Suite in the 2018 Holiday Catalog.  It is perfect for occasions year round.  If you have already started the hop, you have come here from Nikki and her beautiful creation.

My first card pairs this set with the stunning Frosted Floral specialty dsp/ . This paper has a beautiful pearlized frosted look.  Trust me.  The picture doesn’t capture its true beauty.

First Frost: Wishing You All the Best - Center Stage Stamping

I cut a slightly smaller square of vellum to soften the dsp and layered a small Crumb Cake square that I ran through the Corrugated Textured Embossing Folder.I stamped the flowers and stems on Shimmer White card stock to carry over the shimmer.  The dark stem is actually cut from Copper foil and there is a bit of Copper Thread peeking behind the large flower.  The sentiment is stamped on vellum which is only adhered behind the flower. The edges of the card base were stamped with an image from the Timeless Textures set to give it a distressed look.

For my second card I had to pair this with what else but the Wood Textures dsp.  I seriously don’t know what I am going to do when this stuff retires.  I better start hoarding it soon! (Who am I kidding, I have already been hoarding it!)

First Frost: good cheer - Center Stage Stamping

I stamped the flower in Flirty Flamingo and the leaves in Lemon Lime twist and Tranquil Tide and cut them out with the coordinating Frosted Bouquet Framelits. I added some Champagne Shimmer Paint on the berries of the vellum sprig.  The sentiment label is wrapped with Linen Thread and layered on a Pool Party panel.

Thanks for stopping by!  I am sending you over to Holly for some more gorgeous inspiration!  Enjoy the hop and join me again to shine a spotlight on creativity!
