July-December Mini Coming Soon!




Hey Y'all!
I have been a busy girl! I think I broke a personal record this week...June is a busy month for me. In addition to my regular everyday schedule, I go to Youth Camp with our church for a week, and we always leave Father's Day afternoon. And today is the Stampin Up! demonstrator event, Creativity Now. My team and I are getting together for a day of crafting fun....the event doesn't start until 6:00 this evening, but we are having a Salad lunch and then several of us have created a "Shoebox Swap," a project you design and prep, and all the supplies fit in a "shoebox." There will be 7 of us, so I had to create my project and prep for 7 people to make it today. I also signed up for 2 card swaps in a Demonstrator group. One was using new product from the July-December Mini, and one using products from the Saleabration catalog, both will be available to customers July 1st. For each swap, I had to make 13 cards. And they had to be mailed yesterday because of me leaving for Youth Camp. Then Thursday was one of my monthly card events, Rose City Stampers, where we make 3 projects. So this week I have made 26 cards for the Demonstrator Swap, designed and prepped 3 projects for a class, designed and prepped 7 projects for our Shoebox Swap, plus the prep for the Creativity Now event....whew! PS, my house is telling the tale...it looks like a tornado has come through. But you know what, I wouldn't trade my life for anything. 

I wanted to share the 2 cards I created for the Demonstrator Swaps. This is the card from the J-D Mini. It uses a bundle called Celebrate With Tags. If you like to create your own gift tags, you will want this!


This is the card I made featuring the Saleabration item "Tree Lot Dies." It coordinates with the "Trees For Sale" stamp in the Mini. 


To add texture and dimension to the trees, I did a watercolor wash in Shaded Spruce onto a piece of Shimmery White carstock, then die cut the trees from that. I used the detail stamp to stamp the branches, and I love how they turned out!
Well, that's all for today, I will be sharing our Creativity Now projects and Shoebox Swaps in future posts, so stay tuned. Now I've got to go make a Pound Cake for camp and Chicken Salad for our event...I think I'm gonna sleep good tonight!

Ombré Technique for the Stampin Dreams Blog Hop





Hey Y'all!
Today on the Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop, the theme is Ombre. It is a pretty popular look that has been around for a while. "Ombre" just means the color fades from dark to light. For my project, I chose the Let's Set Sail Bundle and used a Blending Brush to create the background.



I started at the bottom of my Basic White piece and inked it pretty heavily in Tahitain Tide. Then without re-inking my brush, I moved up the piece and allowed the ink to fade and get lighter and lighter. This effect can also be achieved with more than one ink color...start with a dark color and then use lighter inks. I used Smoky Slate and Pale Papaya for my sailboat, and stamped my sentiment onto a cloud created with the Cloud Punch. You can see I added ink to the edges of the cloud by lightly dragging my brush around the edges. I stamped the bird image in Smoky slate and the water image in Tahitian Tide to give more texture. I made my cardbase a little fancier by starting with a top-folding cardbase (4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2) and cutting off one edge at  2-3/4. So simple but it adds so much! I tied some Tahitain Tide Baker's twine around my scene panel and added it to a piece of Basic White  I die cut with the Scalloped Contour dies. I added a 4 x 5-1/4 piece of Basic White to the inside of the card, and Voila! l
Now let's see everyone else's creations!

Peaceful Deer-Stampin For Christmas Blog Hop






Hey Y'all!
It's the first Saturday of the month, and that means it's time for our monthly Stampin' For Christmas Blog Hop. 



Today I'm sharing this card I made with the Peaceful Deer stamp and coordinating Deer Builder punch. Pool Party, Gray Granite, and Real Red is the color palette I chose for this project. If you know me, you know if I make a Christmas Card, some shade of red is going to be included somewhere. I chose the Real Red Mini Ruffled Ribbon, but it just seemed too wide, so I cut it lengthwise to give me a narrow stirp of ribbon to tie around my panel.


Here is a look at the inside of the card. We enjoy inspiring your creativity every month, now take a look at what everyone is sharing!

Card Measurements:
  • Cardbase-Basic White Thick 8-1/2 x 5-1/2, scored at 4-1/4
  • Real Red panel 4-1/8 x 5-3/8
  • Basic White panel 4 x 5-1/4
