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.

May Paper Pumpkin Alternate Project

Hello, my crafty friends. With the weekend full of activities, not much time for crafty fun so this is a quick alternate card using the stamp set from the May Paper Pumpkin kit, A Kit In Color, and some scraps of cardstock from my "pile."

The card base is a side fold A2 (cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4) in Whisper White cardstock. The rainbow strips are built up from the lower right corner on a 5 x 3 3/4 piece of Flirty Flaming cardstock (use strips that are too long, then trim) and layered on a 5 1/4 by 4 piece of Mango Melody cardstock. The sentiment stamp "hey" is inked in the new 2020-22 In Color Misty Moonlight and fussy cut. (I felt that the separation between the two blues was enough for them not to "clash.") 

Give this super simple card a try! 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! 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.

Easy Handmade Card Featuring Royal Peacock Stamp Set

Hello, my crafty friends. I just wanted to show you this beautiful card using the Royal Peacock Stamp Set/Bundle slated for retirement at the end of this sales period, June 2, 2020 (or while supplies last after May 22) The plan was to make this card in our workshop last month, but that did not happen due to circumstances beyond our control. I know that one of my club members purchased this bundle, but let's go over the measurements and cuts together because at our online workshop this Sunday, we will make a totally different card using the same basic layout. Easy and FUN!!

The card base is a side fold A2 (cut 5.5 x 8.5, scored at 4.25) in Bermuda Bay cardstock. The first layer is a straight cut piece of the Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper (cut 5.375" x 4") and the second layer is that gorgeous blue sheet from the SDSP (cut with the largest Stitched Rectangle Die). The full peacock stamp is inked with Pretty Peacock (2019-21 in color) and the second stamp of the accent feathers image is inked with Blueberry Bushel (retiring 2018-20 in color). Layer the peacock on a third layer of Pretty Peacock cardstock Stitched Rectangle Die (3d from center) that was embossed with the Beads & Baubles Embossing Folder.

The leaves are die cut from the coordinating Noble Peacock Foil Sheets, adhered right behind the peacock and set on the lower left of the card front. Bedazzle with several Noble Peacock Rhinestones.

Important announcement:  This Saturday I am participating in the May Global SU Share Fair as a presenter. I have teamed with fellow demonstrators around the globe to bring Facebook Live video demonstrations into your stamp space this Saturday, May 16.  My time slot is 3:00 p.m. (ET). Our regular online workshop will proceed on Sunday, May 17 at 11:30 a.m. - we will be using the Daisy Lane Bundle/see below.

Joining the Facebook Global SU Share Fair is by invitation only so please PM me that you want to join the group to receive your invitation. You will need to accept the invitation and give my name as the answer to the question to join the group.

May's Online Workshop*

*We will not be able to meet in person again this month (frowny face).

We will be using the Daisy Lane Bundle (p. 23 of the Annual Catalog). If you do not have these, pick out your favorite flower stamps/punches and let's get to crafting.

If you are placing an order for the Daisy Lane Bundle, or anything, be sure to use the May Host Code for a fab surprise this month.
