get well soon

I’m back with another card featuring the stamping on designer series paper technique. I had so much fun creating the first one, naturally, I had to try it with a different pattern. Today’s card features the same Healing Hugs stamp set and Tropical Escape designer Series Paper. This time I used the Basic Black tiny dots pattern and Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime Twist and Gray Granite.

I just love this stamp set! The big bold rose and leaves and the leaf outline work so well together . A beautiful card to brighten someone’s day. I love how you can change up designer series papers. I have a few more dsp patterns I want to try this with. Try it for yourself and let me know what you come up with!

That’s a wrap for today. Please, join me again to put a spotlight on creativity.

healing vibes

September 21, 2018 By Mary Haugen

It has been raining and dreary here all week. I just want to curl up with a warm blanket and watch movies all day. Or hide out in my craft studio and stamp all day! I have been working on some fun projects and I cant’ wait to share them with you. One of my favorite things to work with is designer series paper. Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Paper is a versatile tool to have in your crafting arsenal. It is a great way to add detail and can make a simple project really stand out. But, it doesn’t have to stop there. You can stamp on it and personalize it even more.

For this card, I took the Basic Black striped sheet from the Tropical Escape 6″x6″ Designer Series Paper and stamped the flower and leaves from Healing Hugs. I used Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist and Gray Granite. The card base is Basic Gray and the Sentiment is stamped in Basic Black on Gray Granite card stock. I cut out some Lemon Lime Twist leaves from the Animal Friends thinlits and a Berry Burst Stitched Shapes circle. I also ran the stitched circle through the Big Shot with the Subtle 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. A wonderful way to send some get well wishes to a friend.

That’s a wrap for today. Join me again to put a spotlight on creativity!

carnival of colors blog hop

July 13, 2018 By Mary Haugen

It’s good to be back blog hopping with My Inky Friends. This time we are spotlighting some of the fabulous NEW Stampin’ Up! colors. Stampin’ Up! has done a color revamp and it is fabulous! They have introduced ten BRAND NEW colors and brought back six former In Colors to the core color families. Plus there are five BRAND NEW In Colors! So. Much. Color!!! I LOVE IT!! You may have arrived here from Yapha if you are following the hop in order. (or from Sharleen if you are being wild and crazy and doing the hop backwards).

Today, I get to put the NEW Mango Melody center stage. This is such a fantastic cheerful color. This first card let’s this color introduce itself with the help of the Delightfully Detailed Laser-cut Specialty Paper.

The sentiment is from the Stitched All Around stamp set. I cut out the label from the coordinating framelit set, Stitched Labels. between the framelits and the Laser cut paper, the work is done for you! Just throw on a few rhinestones for some added bling and voila!

For the next card, I added in a bit of Basic Gray and the Dandelion Wishes stamp set.

The patterned paper strips are from the new 6″x6″ Designer Series Paper, Brights and Neutrals.

For the last card, I cast Mango Melody with fellow NEW colors Gray Granite and Granny Apple Green. They take the stage with the Healing Hugs stamp set.

The card base is embossed with the Basket Weave 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. This cheerful color combo should brighten anyones day!

Now, head on over to Sharleen. She has some great projects featuring the new In Color, Pineapple Punch. Be sure to follow the full blog hop circle for great color inspiration!
