Just Keep Swimming

Wednesday, February 26, 2020

Okay, Stampers, we are nearing the end of the month already, and you only have a few days left to get the FREE Best Dressed Tassels with a qualifying order. See below for all the details.
Remember these purses that I featured earlier using the tassels?

They would be perfect for your graduation cards and projects.

The cards I am featuring today are from the stamp set, MAKE A SPLASH.

Make a Splash is the Hostess Exclusive Stamp Set from the Mini Catalog.

I enjoying seeing what other demonstrators design with the stamp set, but I haven't seen many ideas for this set so I went to work to design a couple.

This first one was my first thought - about a fish escaping and what better - to theme it for a retirement.

This second card - I pulled out my collection of layout designs and came up with this...

The colors I chose are So Saffron and Seaside Spray on a Basic Black base.

The fish in the bowls are basically the same on both cards.

We will be making this second card at an upcoming class, but right after I made it, I had a friend who needed 2 of them for her grand daughters who were both swimmers.

Not only do you get FREE product with every $50 purchase during Sale A Bration...

This is what Stampin' Up! says about the BEST DRESSED TASSELS:

These colorful tassels add a touch of fancy to your projects. Customize them with Classic Stampin’ Ink Refills; you can dye the Whisper White tassels to create any color or combination of colors.

* 18 tassels: 6 each of 3 colors
* 1-7/8" (4.8 cm) long with gold ring at top

Product colors: Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Whisper White

Hole in One?

Tuesday, February 25, 2020

A very cool card for all you golfers out there.
My hubby and my dad are on an online golf league. Sounds kinda goofy, but they really enjoy it, and it is MUCH cheaper than going to the links. They also do not need to fight the elements of weather, and they play against other golfers all around the world with the farthest being someone who lives in Australia. Recently I heard my hubby giggling because he sunk an eagle.

Stamp Set: Clubhouse Bundle with the Golf Club Dies #153816

Lily Pad Impressions

Friday, February 21, 2020

This pretty card is like playing with a puzzle!

The Designer Paper is part of the FREE Sale a Bration products called Lily Pad Impressions (#152284).

So much fun to put this together. I did use some retired sticky sheets to make it easier, but a dab of Tombo Multipurpose Glue (#110755) would work fine as well.

Tip: when adding the deeply embossed Corrugated Embossed (#151811) piece like to use some Tear 'n Tape (#138895) to stick it down so as not to smash my embossed piece

Dies: Lily Pad Dies (#152315) are FREE with a $100.00 purchase, Bouquet Bunch Dies (#143659)

Stamp Set for the tiny little HELLO is from Beautiful Bouquet (#143666)

Card Inspired by: Su Mohr

The darling little flower you see on the side is actually hand carved soap from Thailand. Our friends (who are also cousins) have a son and daughter-in-law living in Thailand as missionaries and they brought this back to us after they went there to visit them.

Poppy Moments Dies

Thursday, February 20, 2020

Such a pretty card using some Vellum

Did you know that Stampin' Up! sells colored Vellum Card Stock?

Perennial Essence Vellum (#149101) comes in 3 colors: Old Olive, So Saffron and Petal Pink, but when you don't have the color you need all you need to do is use the clear Vellum Card Stock (#101856) and color it with a sponge (#141337) and Ink. In this case we used Blackberry Bliss (#147092).

I did find that if I wanted to spritz the card with Champagne Shimmer (#147074) it was best to do it before you added the flowers, as it made the colors run a bit.

Stamp Set: Witty-cisms (#151686)

Card Stock: Whisper White Thick (#140272), Whisper White (#100730), Mossy Meadow (#133676), Blackberry Bliss (133675)

Dies: Poppy Moments (#151594), Stitched Rectangles (#148551)

Label Me Bold FREE Tutorial

Monday, February 17, 2020

I have mentioned before that I am in a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Group called Tutorial Medley

This was my card submission for the month of February using the LABEL ME BOLD Stamp Set and the SPECIAL SOMEONE Stamp Set.

I have a FREE TUTORIAL for you all, with step by step instructions on how to make this card.

LABEL ME BOLD

(With Special Someone)

· The Label Me Bold Stamp Set is one that you need to use along with your other stamp sets. I love the solid background of this type of stamp and seems to be quite the “thing” lately.

· Stamps: Label Me Bold #151631, Special Someone #151643

· Card Stock: Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes #131527, Whisper White #100730

· Ink: Memento Black #132708, Early Espresso #147114, Crumb Cake #147116, Smoky Slate #147113, Real Red #147084, Balmy Blue #147105, Granny Apple Green #147095

· Tools & Accessories: Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals #144108, Tombo Multipurpose glue #110755

Measurements:

· Whisper White Card Stock: 4-3/4” x 3-1/4”, Extra Whisper White Card Stock to stamp the squirrel, mouse, balloon and “for you” greeting.

Instructions:

1. Using Granny Apple Green ink stamp the grassy area by stamping off 2 to 3 times depending on how dark you want it and how juicy your ink pad is. Then I turned it around and stamped over the same area – stamping off 2 to 3 times.

2. Using Granny Apple Green ink stamp the tiny dots stamp over top of that grassy area – stamping off only once.

3. Using Balmy Blue ink stamp the sky – stamping off once.

4. Stamp the Squirrel in Early Espresso and then using the step 2 stamp for the squirrel stamp it to fill in with crumb cake. I stamped off once.

5. Stamp 2 more squirrels on scrap Whisper White. Cut one out using paper snips or if you purchased the new Special Day dies that are available February 4-March 31, 2020. #153587. The second squirrel, cut out only the arm and hand.

6. Stamp the little mouse using Memento Black and fill in with the step 2 stamp with Smoky Slate.

7. Stamp a second mouse the same way onto scrap paper and cut out. When I fussy cut mine I did not cut out the feet and tail. I you purchase the Special Day Dies it will cut them all out.

8. Stamp the “for you” using Real Red Ink onto scrap Whisper White and hand cut.

9. Stamp the balloon string so it is attached to the squirrel’s hand, stamp the heart balloon at the end of the string. Fill in with the step 2 of the heart balloon with Real Red Ink. Stamp a second balloon the same way and hand cut (or use the Special Day Dies)

10. Assemble by adding Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the squirrel, mouse and balloon. Add the “for you” with a Mini Dimensional and a dab of glue where it attaches to the squirrel. Now using a dab of glue add the single arm you cut out so it looks like he is holding the sign.

11. Stamp a squirrel the same way as before onto the front of your envelope.

12. Your card is complete!
