BBQ Master

 One of the new On Line Exclusive stamps sets/bundle is so perfect for the guys in your life. The BBQ MASTER bundle is versatile as you could use it for birthdays, Father's Day or even for making invitations for a summer cook out party. Oh, and don't forget SCRAPBOOKING!!

The card that I am sharing today was inspired by Kylie Bertucci. The look is the same, however I made a couple subtle changes.

Kylie heat embossed her grill and I simply stamped it with Black ink.

Kylie used the Nested Essentials Dies of the Smoky Slate Piece, but to get the extended size, you would need to run it through the cutting machine twice. I would never ask my Tuesday stampers to do this, and I wasn't willing to put in the extra time to prepare so many pieces like this. Therefore I cut my Smoky Slate at 2-3/8" x 4". Then I used a corner rounder for the edges. The images are stamped with Basic Gray ink as well as the edges sponged with some Basic Gray ink as well. I cut the Basic Black to back it at 2-9/16" x 4-3/16".

The extra stamp used for a little grunge look is from NATURE'S SYMPHONY. 

The sentiment is stamped on Basic Black with Versa Mark and White Embossing Powder.

FOR EVERY ORDER PLACED IN MAY, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE THE GALLERY BLOOMS BUNDLE - RIGHT NOW THE GALLERY BLOOMS DIES ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE BUT DON'T WORRY - I PURCHASED IT FOR YOU SO YOU WILL GET THE FULL BUNDLE, I JUST DON'T HAVE A PHOTO OF IT.

IT COMES WITH A WONDERFUL SET OF DIES TO CUT OUT ALL OF THE IMAGES IN THE STAMP SET AS WELL AS THE FRAME YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO.

Nature Walk

This gorgeous card uses all current Stampin' Up! products and was designed by the very talented Rachel Tessman. I believe I saw this on her Facebook live, but it has not made it to her blog as of yet (at the time I prepared this blog post)

I changed up the sentiment, using the BANNER SAYINGS stamp set and punch. I also used the Pressed Flower Motifs elements instead of the Faux Bronze Pentagons.

Nature's Symphony die was used to cut out the large leaf.

I had just a bit of the Nature Walk DSP left and this is a perfect example of using up 1" strips.

I used the dark Misty Moonlight Stampin' Blend to splash little spritzes onto the card front. A trick I learned for this is if you use your Bone Folder and tap your Stampin' Blend onto it (fairly aggressively) you get a nice splatter. Rachel uses the tip of her Blend into the cap to flick the splatters, but I find that this wrecks the tip of my Blend and they are already too expensive.

FOR EVERY ORDER PLACED IN MARCH, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE GALLERY IN BLOOMS BUNDLE

Valentine's Card For Our Grandson

I chose this card for our adult grandson for Valentine's Day

It features the gorgeous NATURE WALK Designer Paper and some gold foil. I was inspired by Peggy Noe

What I changed up... the die I used for the sentiment comes from WORDS OF BEAUTY, and I used a white ribbon instead of the Balmy Blue that Peggy used.

Sometimes it is hard to come up with cards appropriate for your 20-something grandkids but when I saw this sample I thought it would be prefect for Tyler.

FOR EVERY ORDER PLACED IN FEBRUARY, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE THE BEAUTIFULLY CELEBRATED BUNDLE (A $53 VALUE)

I LOVE THESE DIES ESPECIALLY, AND THOSE CORNER DIES ARE SO PERFECT FOR CARD MAKING AND SCRAPBOOKING
