Christi's Creative Crew: June 2020

Weekly Challenge, part 2

Tuesday, June 30, 2020

Using last weeks, Weekly Challenge I made up a few extra cards showing how versatile this layout is.

This first card was inspired by Connie Stewart.
What I changed up:
LAYERS!

I love to add at least one layer!
I embossed this top layer (after stamping it with SO SENTIMENTAL Stamp Set) using the Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder
I added the 3 circles - and instead of punching the 3 holes like in the previous cards (you can see yesterday's blog post HERE), I punched out 3 - 1-3/8" circles. When they sit atop the embossed piece it makes them stand out
and even though you cannot see it on this photo, I spritzed the front with Champagne Shimmer Paint (mixed with Rubbing Alcohol)

This second card turned out so cute!

I stamped the Whisper White 4" x 5-1/4" with the TASTEFUL TEXTILE 3D Embossing Folder (#152718) - it's my new favorite.
I also added a few GILDED GEMS (#152478) that are so classy with a faceted opaque gold color.

I wanted to give some dimension to my pineapple so I stamped and cut out 2 extra layers

This is such a fun layout and the CUTE FRUIT Stamp Set can be found in the Beginner Catalog, but also at my online store (#153301) Only $16.00
I think what I love the most are the darling little faces you can add to your fruit. I'm guessing I will be using these little faces for more than just this stamp set.

This time I turned the design on it's side and used the retired RIDE WITH ME Stamp Set and the BALLOON BOUQUET PUNCH.
The Misty Moonlight Stampin' Blends is the perfect blue for my truck.
Balloons are Poppy Parade, Crushed Curry & Granny Apple Green

I had several of these cute ladybugs already cut out so took the opportunity to use them on this layout.

We had a "BEE" challenge a few weeks ago but it didn't stop me from using these cute bees from the (retired) HONEY BEE Stamp Set.
The sentiment comes from the April Paper Pumpkin Kit
I covered up the word "be" with the little bee.
The flowers on the hive are from our new CONFETTI FLOWERS BORDER PUNCH (#152723)

It's June 2020!

Weekly Challenge

Monday, June 29, 2020

Last week, I issued a challenge to my Stampin' Up! team to take this card (that I featured last week) and to make a card using this type of layout.

I made a second card to show them

I just couldn't wait for my ZANY ZEBRAS Stamp Set to arrive to make this card.

I stamped the words and punched out my 1-3/8" circles before I embossed it with the Embossing Folder.
Then I took one of the circles (re-punched it to a 1-1/4" circle) and embossed it with the TASTEFUL TEXTILE Embossing Folder.
I popped up the circle with a Stampin' Dimensional.
The Happy Birthday is stamped onto Bermuda Bay with Versa Mark Ink and heat embossed with Black Embossing Powder.
I enhanced the black stripes on the zebra using my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker (#100082 - only $3.00).
After I completed this card I was wishing that I had put a little spring behind the Zebra to bring him to life.

Here are the cards that the gals on my team came up with last week

Barb made this super fun froggy card for our challenge using the SO HOPPY TOGETHER Stamp Set that we earned for FREE during Sale a Bration in 2019. Love those little froggies!!

Vicki used her new WHALE DONE Stamp Set for her card - so VERY cute!!

Janell used the JAR OF FLOWERS stamp set - so very pretty!!

and she made it in 2 different colors - which one do you like best?

Barb made a 2nd card because this is such a fun layout!! Aren't those Elephants cute - She apologized for it not being a Stampin' Up! set, but I think they are adorable and I would just rather everyone would be stamping!!

Linda K made this pretty floral card using BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS,

PEACEFUL MOMENTS and SOFT SPRING.

This one made me giggle! Lynda C made this one using one of our super

fun Sale a bration Sets HEY CHICK

Pam shared this darling PARTY PANDA'S card - so - so cute!!

This one was made by Karen - it is very similar to one I made with this same LADYBUG set

Debbie O sent this card. She took advantage of her FREE Sale a Bration products

INSIDE: I cute Japanese lantern

Inez sent this one using the NOTHING'S BETTER THAN Stamp Set

On the inside she also used the challenge:

Jodie used some of her retired Designer Paper and the CRAFTING FOREVER Stamp Set (R)

Rachel used the TIMELESS TROPICAL Stamp Set for her challenge card.

Makes me hungry for some sweet pineapple

(or a trip to Hawaii!!)

It was a fun week seeing all of the cards come in for the challenge. They are all so great, and I am so happy to get them stamping and sharing.

It's nearly the end June 2020!

Lovely Labels Pick A Punch

Friday, June 26, 2020

Want to check out some of the new products from Stampin' Up!
The Lovely Labels Pick a Punch is a great value for such variety of sizes and shapes all in one punch!

You can purchase this fabulous punch as a bundle with the LOVELY YOU stamp set. Just look at all these fabulous word phrases. I just love the font!

I made this card based on Lyssa Z's card on Pinterest.

What I changed up:

I added layer! Of course I did!! I struggle with Clean & Simple Cards so wanted to add more dimension.
I also changed up the color scheme so that I could use all of the new In-Colors.
One more change: I used the Subtle Embossing folder on the card base which helped to make it pop a bit more. (I used the confetti stamp from SO SENTIMENTAL)

Inside the card I used the LOVELY YOU PICK A PUNCH to let my sentiment stand out. I used Versa Mark Ink with White Embossing Powder onto Misty Moonlight Card Stock.

Inside Dimensions are: Misty Moonlight 5-1/8" x 3-7/8"

Whisper White 5" x 3-3/4"

Misty Moonlight tag is 1" wide.

Front Dimensions: Thick Whisper White card base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored at 4-1/4 & embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder

Whisper White (regular) 5-1/8" x 3-7/8" & 5" x 3-3/4"

Whisper White tag 1-3/4" x 2-5/8" and I used a ticket tag punch for the corners. I'm pretty sure there is a die out there for this but I must not own it so had to figure it out my own way.

I made these cards for our kids who came to help assemble some steps off from our deck, plus I believe I might use it for my In-Color Club as well.

Lucy & Katy will be so glad when they can go outside & into the back yard whenever they want. However there is a gate so we can monitor their access as well.

Here is the finished product:
