Simple Stamping Challenge Featuring Jar of Flowers Stamp Set

Hello, my crafty friends. The launch of a brand new Stampin' Up! catalog is always exciting. Hope you have been enjoying all the blogs, video blogs and Facebook posts showing off the new products - especially the new 2020-22 in colors. They are quite beautiful. Let me know what you think.
The Simple Stamping Challenge for June is to create a card using any stamp set from the new annual catalog and the new 2020-22 in colors. I thought it would be fun to try out the new Jar of Flowers Stamp Set with the challenge. What a beautiful stamp set!
#simplestamping

Can you spot three (3) techniques used on this card?

Card Basics:  The card base is a side fold A2 (cut 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4") in Misty Moonlight cardstock. The stamped layer of Whisper White cardstock is cut 5" x 3 3/4". After stamping the flowers, I created a mask for the lower portion of the flowers before stamping the mason jar, both images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Use the reverse image of the mason jar for stamping the water image using a second generation stamp of the Misty Moonlight ink. The flowers were colored using Blender Pens and Classic Stampin' Ink Refills (Bumblebee, Misty Moonlight, Cinnamon Cider, Cajun Craze, Old Olive).

To anchor the image and give the card some depth, I inked the striped line image in Misty Moonlight and stamped it across the bottom creating a ledge or shelf. The sentiments (card front and inside) are from the Well Said Stamp Set.

Give this super simple card a try! You could try it in any color, your choice.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! And check back next week for some stepped up versions of this card featured on my Facebook Live this past weekend.

Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.

Did you spot the techniques?  1) Masking, 2) Second Generation Stamping, and 3) Coloring using ink refills and Blender Pens.


Stamp On!!

Paper Crafting Blog Hop


Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the June Paper Crafting Blog Hop! I am participating in this blog hop with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from across the globe! You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you may be coming from Krissi Hannahs' blog (great project, Krissi!). Welcome one and all.

Happy Birthday is the June theme and we are featuring products from the 2020-21 Annual Catalog. There are so many excellent choices, but I am in LOVE with the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set and the coordinating Sunflowers Dies. 

I enjoyed coloring the large sunflower with the Stampin' Blends. Of course, if you were making a "short stack" of cards, maybe for a gift, you could skip this coloring step and stamp the sunflower on the new Bumblebee cardstock. The background is the Buffalo Check Background Stamp, inked in Night of Navy, and stamped on the new Misty Moonlight cardstock (5" x 3 3/4") and matted on the new Cinnamon Cider cardstock (5 1/4" x 4").

The inside is a simple sentiment "Birthday Wishes" from the Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set, accompanied by a die cue of the small sunflower stamp.

As always, thank you for stopping by my blog today! Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you and your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it!. Do not forget to check out the great project by our next blog hopper, Sue McDonald.

Quick and Easy Handmade Card Featuring Painted Poppies Stamp Set

Hello, my crafty friends. Here's a fun card that I want to show you. I love the Painted Poppies Stamp Set, but you could change this up with any stamp set from your collection.  Take a minute to gather the supplies listed below and give this card a try.

Three (3) things I love about this card for our #staysafe #stayhome days:

1. Technique: Instead of coloring these poppies with your Stampin' Blends or Stampin' Write Markers, ink up the smudge stamp in this set, "stamp off" some of the ink for a second generation stamp and stamp over the poppy image. It is not perfect coverage, but isn't it cute! So pretty.
2. Background Stamping:  I love the field of poppies stamp. It makes an awesome background!!
3. Designer Series Paper (DSP): The strip of DSP (since retired, frowny face) is cut 2" x 5 1/2" and ties this card together. Pick a card base that color coordinates with your DSP and take your cardmaking up a notch.

June Online Workshop
I will be holding an online workshop on Saturday, April 20 - like as if we were having our regular workshop in person! The card will be based on the paper cuts set out below. If you need help finding me on Facebook, message me. 

July Workshop
Not sure if it will be online or in person, but I plan to use the Jar of Flowers bundle (a bundle from the Flowers for Every Season Suite) from the New 2020-21 Annual Catalog (pp. 10-13). The bundle pricing it is a little less painful on the wallet. Use the June Host Code to purchase your own stamp set/punch. If you order the bundle, I will send you card kit packets in the mail. Then if we do meet in person (really not sure that in person will happen), I will bring them to class. This will be so fun for us all.

*IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do not already have an online account, when you set up your account, PLEASE be sure to NOT click "no contact" as I will not be able to send you your free card kit packets.

As always, thank you for stopping by my blog today! Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you and your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it!.

Easy Handmade Card Featuring Butterfly Gala Stamp Set

Hello, my crafty friends. I just wanted to take a minute to show you this quick and easy handmade card using the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set and Butterfly Duet Punch. This card was featured in my virtual class on April 25 (link to Facebook). Easy and FUN!! There is no limit to the number of ways to show off this stamp set and (any) designer series paper. Oops, I forgot that the Come Sail Away DSP retired yesterday - suggested replacement is a sheet from the Night of Navy from the Neutrals Collection 6x6 DSP Assortments.

Important announcement:  Today is the first day of the new 2020-21 Annual Catalog. (I hope you received your copy in the mail. If you don't have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator already, message me and I will send you a catalog to you pronto.) Since we are still under restrictions for large gatherings, I am holding my catalog launch virtually on my Facebook business page this Saturday, June 6 @ 11 a.m. If you need help finding me, message me for more details.


Stamp On!!
