Stamping Fun 101

Watercolored Hummingbird Card

It was a joy water coloring the hummingbird image from the stamp set Spring Song; unfortunately this is one of the hundreds of products retiring NEXT WEEK!  

There are only 6 more days to order from the Last Chance Lists, retiring stamps are available through June 30 but retiring accessories are available while supplies last.  

Practice, practice, practice if you love the look of watercolor!  Proper tools are essential; use high quality watercolor paper made of 100% cotton, stamp the outline image with permanent Jet Black StazOn ink and my absolute favorite: apply color with an Aqua Painter. 

The Aqua Painter's handle can be refilled with water, the tip is a brush.  With practice, you will learn how to control the amount of water you are applying. 

With the water contained in the handle, the Aqua Painter is portable and versatile.  You can pick up and move color with ink from markers or ink pads, Watercolor Wonder Crayons, pencils.    

Order these products online and recreate this project or begin your own water coloring art adventure!

Re-creating Catalog Projects

In March, I hosted a Coffee and Catalog class where we re-created this cute card with the versatile stamp set Fun & Fast Notes from the Idea Book & Catalog, page 56. 

Then we began experimenting with other images from the set! 

Some cards use a larger Circle Punch for the Whisper White card stock.

HOW TO:

1. The images are stamped on both the Whisper White and the Close to Cocoa card stocks. 
2. Cut out the image stamped on the Cocoa.  Punch out the White Circle.
3. Adhere the Cocoa piece over the image you have stamped on the White Circle punched piece.  This technique is called Paper Piecing.

I have scheduled a second class with a different project. If you are in the Hampton Roads, Virginia area; join us for coffee and crafting on Thursday, May 20!

Email me to RSVP or place an order.  Order online 24/7.

All of the Idea Book & Catalog supplies can be found in a link in the right column of my blog under Catalog Supplies.

Folk Flowers Stencil on Burlap Bag

Everyone is talking about recycling these days but don't forget to reuse as well!  Reusing items you already have, things you find and buy from others.

Garlic cloves came in this little burlap bag; after planting I re-purposed it to hold a set of six cards for a gift.

The Folk Flowers Decor Stencil is from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  You might recognize the flower image, it is the same as one of our stamps, Razzle Dazzle!   

Stenciling was quite easy, I inserted a piece of cardboard in the bag so the ink didn't bleed through and sponged Chocolate Chip ink over the stencil, the ink dried quickly.

You can use the same technique for stenciling the image on cards and scrapbook pages, use more ink on the sponge for the burlap bag than the card stock. 

Create a beautiful focal image or a subtle patterned background paper for a layout.  Use the smaller imaged portions of the stencil to create embellishments.  Stencils have a great deal of value!

I love the Stampin' Up! Lots of Tags Sizzlits Dies I just received.  Two of the five tags in the set are shown here, in Ruby Red and Naturals Ivory card stocks.

Stamps sets are Vintage Vogue from the Occasions Mini and Great Friend.

Bird Punch + Butterfly Die = Easy Decorating

Birds, butterflies, flowers, hunting bargains at yard sales... I'm loving the warm weather! 

This little bird house was a found treasure at a sale that I quickly and easily decorated with a few goodies from the Occasions Mini Catalog.

The Extra Large Two-Step Bird Punch has three pieces in one punch; the bird's body, wing and the branch - love it!

(Cut your card stock in strips when you punch if you don't want to waste any, then you won't be left with blue branches when you punch the birds)

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die cuts and embosses FIVE fabulous butterflies in about four seconds flat! 

Pink Flamingo Designer Series Paper made this project even faster, the butterflies are a beautiful shade of Cameo Coral with a floral design, I simply adhered them with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Flower Fancy Watercolor Card

Flower Fancy Stamp Set with Watercolor Wonder Crayons

Today was such a beautiful sunny day, spring is here! 

I'm planning to build a spiral-shaped herb garden so my son and I went down to the ocean and scavenged rocks from the beach.  I would love to have a fountain at the base of the garden but I'm not sure that is going to happen.

Chocolate Bunny & Specked Easter Eggs

The Stampin' Up! Chocolate Bunny is popping up everywhere this spring! 

My friend recently hosted a workshop and asked me to show her how to use the Color Spritzer Tool, something I never remember I even own!

With various Stampin' Write Markers, I misted two or three colors of ink onto Very Vanilla card stock for a light, speckled look. 

Then a few punches using the Wide Oval Punch and voila: instant Easter eggs!

The Color Spritzer blows air across the marker tip, misting the ink.  One advantage to using Stampin' Write markers is that you can re-ink them using the same reinkers that you refill the Classic Ink pads! 

My friend tried a few different brands of scrapbooking markers she had from a large craft store and they were too wide to fit through the opening. 

It was fun pulling out an old tool and creating with it again.  Go "shopping" in your craft room this week and see what you can dust off and use, maybe for the first time even!  

Ingredients include:

• Inspired by Nature stamp set (111656
• Chocolate Bunny stamp (#116980)
• Wide Oval Punch (#112082)
• 1-3/8" Circle Punch for sun (#104401)
• Color Spritzer Tool (#107066)
• Old Olive 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon (#115618)
• Sponge Daubers (#102892)
• Stamping Sponges (#101610)
• Creamy Caramel, Very Vanilla, Old Olive & Rich Razzleberry card stock
• Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Bashful Blue, So Saffron, Crushed Curry & Rich Razzleberry Classic Ink

Scrapbook Layout with Wood Sheet Frame

Only two more weeks left of Sale-A-Bration! :(

I love that we can choose stamp sets from the Idea Book & Catalog that are $15.95 and under this year; like the set D Is for Dog on this layout.  

I also used the Sale-A-Bration reward Designer Series Paper Pad Welcome Neighbor for the trees along the border.

Wood Sheets (page 158) were used to make this frame, I simply cut out the center with the Top Note Bigz Die and stamped on the wood with Classic Ink. 

The wood is thin enough that I was also able to round the edges with my Corner Rounder Punch! 

The Wood Sheets are sized to fit in the Big Shot without cutting, 5-3/4" x 13-3/4" and four sheets are only $9.95.

The title is cut with the Big Shot Bigz Stampin' Up! Alphabet Simple Letters, a useful sans serif alphabet for scrapbooking with a matching numbers die set available.

I rolled the Ballet Blue background with the Stampin' Around Wheel P Is for Paw with Versamark Ink (if you only buy one ink cartridge, make it that one!) and then I rolled again with Chocolate Chip ink on Kraft paper. 

I cut out four smaller paws with the 1/2-inch Circle Punch and adhered them in the Antique Brass Build-A-Brads.

101 TIP: Wheels are a great way to create backgrounds and make your own Designer Paper on scrapbook pages, cards and other projects.  Wheels are quick, simple to use and economical as well. 

There is an area for journaling under the bottom right photo on the second page.  The Kraft-colored piece with stamped bones is popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals and a 2.5" x 4.25" tag is slid in behind it. 

The journaling tag has a Round Tab Punch adhered on the right side so you can easily pull it out.

The colors on the layout are;

• Ballet Blue
• Pumpkin Pie
• Chocolate Chip
• Kraft

Isn't our new little Beagle a cutie?  We rescued her from a local shelter last month.  She's about 6 years old and other than stealing food left out within her reach, she's a little angel!

Sneak Peek from Easter Class

Isn't the Chocolate Bunny stamp from the Occasions Mini Catalog so cute!

The detail is fabulous, he looks just like the real thing! 

I stamped every combination of brown ink on various colors of card stock and my favorite is Chocolate Chip ink on Creamy Caramel card stock. I recommend you do the same, what colors are your favorites?   I admit this doesn't look the most "chocolate-y" but you can see the most detail with this combination!

It's not too late to RSVP for one of my Easter Classes this weekend!  If you are in the Hampton Roads area join us Saturday, February 20 or Sunday, February 21 at 10:00 am.

Create three Easter cards and a 3-D project with the Eggcellent Eggs Kit and other Occasions Mini Catalog products.

Happy Valentine's Day

I have been wanting to use the Sweetheart Treat Cups and finally found the time.  Don't pack away all of your hearts on February 15; your family and friends need love all year long! 

The background Crushed Curry card stock has the I {Love} Love Jumbo Wheel in Real Red ink, wheeled twice. 

Both the Wheel and the Sending Love Epoxy Brad can be found in the Occasions Mini Catalog.

The cinnamon red hots are easily accessible with the Stampin' Up! Two Tags Big Shot die, my newest favorite! 

 

The smallest tag slides between the pieces of Real Red and Taken with Teal card stock keeping the candy in the Sweetheart Treat Cup. 

The Round Tab Punch with the three hearts stamped in red is adhered to the end of the Tag to easily pull it out.

HINT!  Punch from the bottom layer of card stock first with the Full Heart Punch, in this case the Taken with Teal color.  Then, line up the next layer to punch.  Otherwise, the punch may not reach the center of the card stock; I speak from experience!

I use Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive to adhere the red card stock to the teal because it is a strong adhesive and it has a fine tip so you can put a thin line along the bottom edge.  There is also a thick tip on the opposite end to add a thicker line along the other edges but leave plenty of space for the tag to slide in and out. 

This adhesive also dries quickly and if you get some where you don't want it, simply let it dry, then remove it with our Adhesive Remover!

Stamping & Scrapbooking Projects for Kids

It's a blizzard here and the kid's are out of school today and tomorrow.  We've been snowed in all weekend with an incredible eight inches of snow!

Yes, you read that right, eight inches shut down our city!  Of course there are only a few snow plows, Southerners don't have to deal with ice and snow very often. 

This is a fun project for you and the kids to make when the cabin fever sets in this winter.   Kids enjoy talking about themselves; they can journal, draw or just color in this book depending on their age. 

Ask them questions to get them started; what is your favorite room, which window in our house gives the best view, where is the best place to read a book?

The Welcome Neighbor Designer Paper is perfect for this project.  Adhere a piece of the brightly colored Designer Paper to card stock with a glue stick. 

Cut pages with the Scalloped Square Clear Die.  A clear die is great for a project with Designer Paper; you can line up exactly where you want the die to cut, don't worry about slicing off an element near the edge!

Stamp the house and trees with the coordinating Good Neighbors stamp set.  This stamp set and the Designer Paper are both free Rewards available in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.

Punch holes through all layers with the Crop-A-Dile and tie Bermuda Bay Ribbon through to bind your book.

• Big Shot Die Cut Machine, #113439
• Alphabet Simple Letters, #115960
• Scalloped Square Clear Die, #115950
• Crop-A-Dile, #108362

Masculine Valentine's Day Cards

Just in time for Valentine's Day, here are a few ideas to help you create for all of the men in your life!

1. Keep It Simple & Make Your Point
Imagine you are in the military.  State your purpose simply and clearly.  Keep it clean and minimal.

You don't need 5 layers of card stock, glitter and buttons.  Girlfriends appreciate embellishments, a husband wants to know how much each doo-dad costs!   

2. Color Choice
You might think men notice nothing because after living in the same house for years, he still asks you where everyday objects are kept.  You might want to make a pink Valentine's Day card or give him something with pastel-colored flowers on it.  After some research, I was surprised to learn that my husband actually does pay attention and remembers the cards I make him. 

He likes receiving a red and black card, browns are acceptable, too.

If it is obviously a "manly" card, he knows I took the time and made is just for him instead of recycling one of the hundreds I have in my craft room!

3. That's What I Like

One thing that men have in common is testosterone, which lead me to the Ransom Note card... However, with the exception of hunting, you may want the subject of your cards to be a bit lighter.   

Just create something that focuses on what they like; antique cars, outdoors, humor, camping, gardening, boats, candy, baseball, dogs, trucks. 

If nothing else, put a picture of you on the card and tell him to throw darts at it the next time you irritate him.  This is what he was thinking anyway but now that you've said it, he will (most likely) never do it!

I {Heart} Making A Difference

This is my favorite image from the stamp set I {Heart} Hearts, I love the vintage look of it!

I also love that Stampin' Up! is donating $2 from the sale of each stamp set to the American Red Cross' Haiti Relief and Development Fund.
