stamp review crew: sale-a-bration bonus blog hop 2

By

Hello crafty friends! The Stamp Review Crew is back with a bonus blog hop to showcase Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-a-Bration brochure. These are fun products that you can get FREE with a qualifying purchase through the end of February. If you see something you like, don’t miss out! Order soon!

I have a couple more projects featuring the Berry Blessings stamp set. This set is part of a bundle – includes stamp set and coordinating Designer Series Paper – you can get with a $100 order. This time I am focusing just on the stamp set. Let’s see what we can do…

For this first card, I used the blueberries stamp and some ink blending with the new Blending Brushes to create a fun background.

I used Misty Moonlight, Gorgeous Grape and Rich Razzleberry inks. First I blended them on a piece of Basic White card stock, then I stamped the berries. This panel is cut with a Stitched Rectangle die as is the sentiment. Finished off with a few Opal Rounds.

For my next card, I took the berry fill in stamp and went in a totally different direction.

I stamped the berries in Coastal Cabana, Pumpkin Pie, and Crushed Curry to create fun dotted panel. The rest of the details on the card come from the Pattern Play stamp set. The gray is actually silver embossed.

Welcome crafty friends! I’m so glad you are here. Let’s play along with this week’s Paper Craft Crew challenge. This week we have a fun vertical card sketch to work with.

Sometimes with a card sketch, it takes a while for an idea to form. Not with this one. Once I grabbed the Zoo Globe stamp set, I knew what I wanted to do.

The darling little elephant was colored with Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends with a little Marvelous Magenta on the toenails. The black and white striped panel is from the True Love DSP in the Jan-June ’21 Stampin’ Up! mini catalog.

Hello crafty friends! Are you ready for another challenge from the Paper Craft Crew? Let’s try a little Tic Tac Toe shall we –

Pick a row – horizontal, vertical, or diagonal – and incorporate those three things into your creation. I chose the center horizontal row: Birthday Celebration, Use a Die or Punch and Feminine. It was perfect since I was making invitations for my Granddaughter’s FIRST Birthday celebration!

My daughter requested elephant and florals. This adorable little elephant from My Favorite Things was perfect. I colored her and the balloon with Copic Sketch markers.

The floral patterned paper is from Carta Bella. So sweet! I think it hits the mark for the tic tac toe challenge. I loved creating these for my sweet little granddaughter. I used this Adorable Elephants set from MFT for her birthday card as well. Check back on her birthday -Valentine’s day for that one. Best Valentine I ever received!

For now, be sure to check out more great creations for this challenge over on the Paper Craft Crew blog. Join the fun and play along!

Hello friends! I’m here with my creation for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge. I really enjoy using card sketches as a starting point for a card.

Sometimes, I stick to a sketch closely. Sometimes, I like to look for unique takes on elements in the sketch. This time, I did a bit of both.

I used a stencil and blending brush to create the “wash” background and a flower for the circle element. The rest of the card is true to the sketch. A fun card for a friend.

Come on and play along with the Paper Craft Crew! I’d love to see what you create with this sketch!

Hello crafty friends! Welcome to the first Paper Craft Crew challenge of the new year. If you are unfamiliar with the Paper Craft Crew, it is a fun challenge blog that has weekly craft challenges to help jump start your creativity. I am honored to be part of the PCC Design Team. We are going to start the year with a fun vertical card sketch.

Of course, when I looked at this sketch I saw those 3 triangles and naturally I thought…Strawberries! (OK, so maybe I had some new products from Stampin’ Up!’s 2021 Sale-A-Bration on my desk that might have influenced that a bit.) I grabbed the Berry Blessings Stamp set and Berry Delightful DSP – which is a fun bundle you can earn for FREE with a $100 purchase from Jan. 5-Feb 28- and got to work. Here is my take on the sketch.

I cut out the large strawberries from one sheet of the DSP and used another for the background panel. I had a fun sheet of burlap paper that I found at Hobby Lobby and thought it was a great base for the berry trio.

Well, now I am longing for warm summer days and fresh strawberries…. Sigh, it will be awhile before that happens.

Come on over to the Paper Craft Crew blog and play along!

stamp review crew: so sincere

By

Hello my crafty friends! Welcome to the first Stamp Review Crew blog hop of the new year!  If you are not familiar with The Stamp Review Crew, we are a group of international Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators who hop together on the first and third Monday of the month to bring you some great inspiration. Each blog hop features a different stamp set. You can find all of the blog hops archived on the Stamp Review Crew blog. We are going to kick off 2021 by shining a spotlight on the awesome sentiment set So Sincere.

For both of my cards, I embossed the sentiments on some designer series paper. I like the bit of design behind the words. It gives some depth to the image. My first card also uses the Celebrate Sunflowers set and dies, In Good Taste and 20-21 In Color DSP Stack, and the In Color Bumblebee ink.

For my second card I added a beautiful peony that I die cut out of water color paper and colored with Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo and Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green and Garden Green ink refills.

This particular sentiment works for a variety of occasions. This card would be great for a birthday or a wedding. The So Sincere set is full of some great sentiments in wonderful fonts and opens the door to lots of design possibilities.

I hope you will work your way through the full Stamp Review Crew blog hop for more great inspiration! From here you can click on the NEXT button below to head on over to talented Cindy or click on the PREVIOUS button to go back to creative Betty

We are down to the last two Paper Craft Crew challenges for 2020! This one is a two week challenge. You have extra time to play along! This challenge is to feature your favorite holiday stamp set.

This was a really hard decision for me. I love so many of my Christmas stamp sets. I finally settled on O Holy Night from Papertrey Ink. It has phrases from many Christmas hymns. For my card I chose to use “Joy to the World”.

I printed the music on some vanilla card stock. The sentiment is embossed in white on a stitched die cut circle. I used the Pine Boughs die from The Stamp Market cut in two shades of green, a plaid bow, and some red rhinestones to finish off the card.

Join the fun with The Paper Craft Crew and show us your favorite holiday stamp set! Thanks for stopping by! join me again to shine a spotlight on creativity!

Hello my crafty friends! The Paper Craft Crew is here with another awesome card sketch challenge to inspire you.

I still had the Fluffy Friends – Holiday set by Taylored Expressions on my desk. I pulled out some old patterned paper and voila – this fun winter card came together.

I can’t get enough of that adorable little polar bear! Add in his little hat flying off as he speeds down the hill, and you have cuteness overload! Bear, sled and hat were colored with Copic markers. The sentiment is heat embossed on Kiwi Kiss card stock and fussy cut out.

You should check out The Paper Craft Crew blog for more inspirations from the Design Team. Then, make your own creation based on the sketch and share it with us! Thanks for stopping by! Join me again to shine a spotlight on creativity!

Hello, crafty friends! Can you believe it is December already? This crazy year time has seemed to drag and fly at the same time. Well, let’s kick off this month with a fun Paper Craft Crew challenge!

I am in full Christmas mode now, so naturally I had to pull out some new stamps to use on this sketch.

These fun trees from The Stamp Market are great for a non traditional color scheme. I also used some gorgeous inks and glitter paper from The Stamp Market. Fun, Fresh and Festive!
