Guest Stamper, Chris

Today's guest stamper is Chris

Chris shared one cute card using one of our retired Sale a Bration stamp sets: THE GANGS ALL MEER

Those little meerkats just make me smile. I love that she flipped the PICTURE THIS die horizontally, normally we see it vertically and it reminds me to change things up as much as possible to try something new

Guest Stamper, Pam

Today I will be featuring the cards that Pam shared at our team meeting last week. Pam made some pretty cards using her scraps! I just love it!

What a great patriotic themed birthday card. If I hadn't already made Sawyer's 8th birthday card for his July 4th birthday, I would be tempted to make this one.

I'm not sure what this technique is called but if I had to name it I would call it a Sun-Ray card.

Great job, Pam!

Guest Stamper, Janell

It has been so crazy busy here that I wasn't able to keep up with my blog posts last week.

Let's see if I can do better this week...

Last week was our team meeting and I just love it when my team shares what they have been making.

Today I will feature the cards that Janell shared

Super pretty using the BLENDED SEASON Stamp Set - but wait until you see the inside! Gorgeous! Right???!!!

This next card was based on the one that I featured on my blog last week, but instead of using the flowers cut from the Hues of Happiness designer paper, she embossed the flower image using Versa Mark and Silver Embossing Powder. Then she watercolored these gorgeous flowers.

Card # 3 was cased from Brandi Cox. I just LOVE the new In-Colors!! - and look how cute the envelope flap is.

Great job Janell!!

Janell also supplied our team snack for this month - I sure wish I had taken a picture of the yummy cupcakes and Cheesecakes that she brought.

I love it when my team chips in on the snack and helps with the Make & Take projects.

I'm super excited to tell you about the NEW In-Color Starter Kit Deal:

Hues of Happiness

I'm am predicting that the HUES OF HAPPINESS Designer Paper is going to be the BIGGEST HIT in the new line up of Designer Papers in the 2022-2023 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.

I have cut the gorgeous flowers and leaves from the floral designs and will be using them for upcoming classes. The HAPPINESS ABOUNDS stamp set and dies bundle is perfect coordination and the dies will cut those flowers and leaves lickity split!  Of course, if you are a fan of fussy cutting - you could easily do that as well.

I cased this card from Pinterest and a gal named Cindy Lyon (no blog to link you to)

I used the PERFECTLY PENCILED Designer Paper for my cup

I will fess up that I do not (yet) own the CUP OF TEA Bundle so I used a retired die set called CUPS & KETTLES for my tea cup, and I colored in the handle using the (Dark) Black Stampin' Blend Marker. Then I used some of the flowers and leaves that I cut out from the Designer Paper to "fill" my cup. Next I stamped the little flowers from Happiness Abounds and die cut them out.

Ahead of time I splattered black onto a piece of Basic White card stock (5-1/4" X 3-7/8") using Memento Refill Ink and a WATER PAINTER

I added a strip of coordinating Melon Mambo Designer Paper along the left side.  

The scripty "happy birthday" is also from the Happiness Abounds stamp set.

When the ladies make this card at class I will have a variety of colors of flowers so every card will look different.

Paper Pumpkin Alternative cards

Are you a Paper Pumpkin subscriber? I would love to have you subscribe and choose me as your demonstrator!

Each month this box of inspiration comes to your door. You can make up the kit as-is with the great instructions and everything you need OR you can use your creative imagination to come up with alternative ideas.

There is a small group of us that get together the first Thursday of each month to work on our kits together. Everyone has access to all of my supplies (stamps, dies, paper, etc) if you want to make alternate cards or projects.

We worked on the April kit last week so first I will share Anna's alternate cards

The pink with tiny dots is an envelope liner, the third card is the back side of one of the z-fold cards. She colored in the flower and leaves cut-out piece with Stampin' Blends.

I will say that on the on-set I was not thrilled with the kit, but it was still cute enough to make up the Z-fold cards so I did that as is. The only thing I changed was adding a little bling on the butterfly body on this first card.

On the inside I stamped "they say it's your birthday" from a retired stamp set

I thought it was appropriate with the caterpillar turning into a butterfly

I wasn't fond of the sentiment stamps so I opted for a basic Happy Birthday on this second card made as is

I liked the concept of the third card but added a cute baby from the Moon Baby Stamp set to give just a little added touch.

On the inside I stamped "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, do you know how loved you are?" so I was happy with this one.

I really didn't spend a lot of time on these three cards because I LOVED the Designer Paper that was provided with the envelope liners and I wanted to work with those instead.

This first card is a case from the front of the new catalog. I just changed up the colors and stamped the flower from Happiness Abounds. I really like the notebook die that comes with that set. The stitched label die is from Stylish Shapes Dies

Card #2 I was able to get 2 strips from one envelope liner, and then I used the Hand Penned stamp set

I have a bunch of layouts on hand and I use those layouts to come up with my cards. My birthday stamp is from the long ago retired Petite Pairs. Some stamp sets I just can't let go.

That was about all I did on Thursday night -

On Friday I wanted to play with it some more (which is very rare)

I still had some more pieces from the envelope lining and Anna and I were saying that we thought the pink polka dot design would make a cute flower so I used the flower stamp from Happiness Abounds and stamped these flowers for my next card.

The bermuda bay circle was cut from one of the envelope liners. The leaves were cut from the Hues of Happiness DSP

The third design from the envelope liners is the crushed curry with little stars

I chose to use some of the flowers that I cut out from the Hues of Happiness designer paper

This paper is gorgeous! I have used 2 FULL 12x12 sheets just of the cut out flowers and leaves - did you realize that the dies from Happiness Abounds will cut out the flowers and leaves (all but the tiny leaves, but those are easy to cut by hand). the angled piece is from a Stitched Rectangle Die, and I used the Early Espresso faux linen ribbon.

Anna decided she was not going to stockpile her leftovers from her kits anymore so she left several pieces with me to use or donate.

When I was working on these today there was one piece of a pink with white polka dot liner left so I used it on this next card instead of the regular Designer paper (inspired by a card I saw on the demonstrator planning place facebook page - a great perk for being a demonstrator)

The clouds are created with the Basic Borders Dies. 

The stamp set is Sweet Songbirds. 

I cased this from another demonstrator but changed up the Designer paper to use the envelope liner. I used a different sentiment for the outside and on the inside I stamped "you've got something to celebrate! Congratulations" I've been needing some expectant mom cards and thought this would work well.

Thanks to Anna, I had all 6 envelope flaps left and I used them to decorate two of these boxes,

and I had one piece of the yellow liner left that I had cut 4x5-1/4 (the other ones I cut 4-1/4 x 5-1/2) so I had to make a card to match. I'm already loving the Tahitian Tide In-color!!

I followed the box instructions from Cathryn

This kit said it would make 9 cards with envelopes - I was able to make 20 cards and use my own envelopes. Then...with the help of Anna's left overs I was able to make 14 more!!
