Watercolor Month Guest Stampers

Tuesday, July 19, 2022

Stampin' Up! has told us that July is National Watercolor Month so I encouraged my team to make a watercolor project to share at our team meeting. I was super pleased with how many participated in the challenge.

Here are some of the watercolor challenge cards that my team made...

Joyce made this first card using WILD & SWEET stamp set 

Inez made 2 watercolor cards using the clear block technique 

Karen made this next card using a watercolor wash technique

Marlane's card features a long retired Honeybee Home stamp set (it was definitely a favorite stamp set of mine)

Blessings of Home with Honeybees

Thursday, June 2, 2022

Today my hubby and I celebrate 45 years of marriage! WOW! where have all these years gone?

One week from now we will leave on vacation to celebrate - heading south to Jekyll Island off the coast of Georgia. We've never been there, but we love to go to new places. It's been a long time since we've taken a nice vacation (2018 was our last one to Greece)

So where is my hubby today? He is on a two day fishing excursions with some of the men from church.

Do I mind? Absolutely not! This is such a wonderful time for the men to bond and I get a day to spend with my friend, Janell. After a doctor appointment we will meet up for lunch and some girl time. 

Here is the fourth card that the ladies made at the May Card Class

I wanted to use the new TWIGS & SPRIGS Embossing Folder, and the FABULOUS FRAMES DIES.

I came up with this card which features the smaller flower bouquet from BLESSINGS OF HOME Stamp Set.

I was super excited that the Pool Party sheer ribbon was carried over for another year. I probably use this ribbon the most of any. Probably because Pool Party is one of my go-to colors.

I colored in the flowers using Stampin' Blends in these colors: Pool Party combo, Flirty Flamingo Dark, Soft Seafoam Dark and Soft Succulent light for the leaves, with Petal Pink light for the center of the flowers.

We made a second card that day using the same BLESSINGS OF HOME Stamp Set but this time we used the larger floral bouquet

This one was inspired by Ann Schach

I love the soft colors on this one with Soft Succulent and Petal Pink

A new product I'm using is the BRUSHSTROKES Specialty Paper that gives the greenery sprigs a softer touch.

OTHER: Hive 3D embossing folder, Soft Succulent Ribbon and Honeybee Home Stamp Set & Dies for the bees and sprigs

Come Stamp With Me Cards

Wednesday, April 13, 2022

WOW!! A HUGE THANKS to everyone who came to my Come Stamp With Me Class on Tuesday this week.

I was busy every.single.minute.of this day, and I LOVED it!!

Instead of 4 card stations, I set up 6 card stations and when the day was complete, I only had 3 cards left. This includes the extra 8 cards that I had to cut more of plus I sold 2 of the samples!! I would say that this was a bang-up day!  I will have to reevaluate for next week so I don't run out.

This was the card that sold out first (I couldn't cut more because I did not have anymore of the designer paper.) The EXPRESSIONS IN INK Designer Paper is on the LAST CHANCE LIST so if you love it like I do, NOW is the time to get it ordered.

Thankfully, the Artistically Inked Dies and the Contour Dies are both carried over to the new annual catalog. This card was inspired by Su Mohr

Talking about the new annual catalog... I have my stock in hand and if you need one, I hope you will reach out to ask for one.  I would love to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!!

This next card is the card that I had to cut extra of. Thankfully, I had a lot of this designer paper on hand so I was able to do that.
This is called a BOOK BINDING TECHNIQUE. You can make the binding narrower, but I wanted to feature a bit more of the pretty paper so I went wider. The Heart & Home Designer Paper is available through June 30 because it is featured in the January to June Mini Catalog. Each 12x12 sheet is print on one side and a woodgrain on the opposite side.

HOWEVER the Misty Moonlight Card Stock used here IS on the LAST CHANCE LIST. 

The ribbons used here are both carried over to the new annual catalog 

1-1/2" Metallic Mesh Ribbon & 1/4" White Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon

Stamp Set: Honeybee Home and Dies, also a die from the Horizon Dies set.

The punch for the sentiment is the LOVELY LABELS PICK A PUNCH.

I thought about adding a little gold bumblebee trinket, but wanted to keep it fairly monochromatic. It's hard to see but I added some iridescent sequins from a previous Paper Pumpkin Kit.

Here are my measurements:

Card Base: 4-1/4" x 11" scored at 3-3/4" & 5-1/2"

Designer Paper: 4" x 1-1/2" & 4" 3-1/2" 

Label: White - (before being punched): 1/2" x 3-1/2", Misty Moonlight: 3/4" x 3-3/4" (before being punched)

This card was inspired by Amy Rudd as seen on Rachel Tessman's blog
