Faux Tile Technique-Make It Monday #98

Make it Monday Videos, Stamping Techniques / February 27, 2023

Hey all, today I am excited to share with you another Faux technique to add to your card making portfolio. This is a fun technique that can be stepped up to create beautiful and elegant hand-stamped cards. In this video I am sharing two different ways to create faux tiling, one super simple and the other a bit more involved. Pick your favorite or try them both out. Either way, I am sure you will not be disappointed.

Christmas Flash Back-Favorite Things Friday!

Christmas 2022, Favorite Things Friday / February 24, 2023

While it is getting cold here in St. Louis, we are not getting the snow that is blanketing the northern plains, and so I thought why not flash back to a favorite Christmas card using an old time favorite stamp set, now retired-Lovely As A Tree.

I created this card for as one of our stamp camp projects many years ago, so I am not sure the exact measurements. I did start with a Basic Black card base and I am guessing my white panel is 3¼ x 4¼ and the black panel is 3-1/8 x 4-1/8. I stamped the trees in our Craft White ink and used a sponge to create the snow. I do not remember what set the sentiment is from, but I am sure you will find something in your holiday stash. You might even have the Lovely As A Tree set, as it was a super popular set and in the catalog for a really long time. I am guessing if they brought it back it would continue to be a best seller among new stampers.

I hope you enjoyed this Flash Back-Favorite Things Friday. As much as I love Christmas and snow, I am looking forward to spring! Happy Stamping!

Seeing Red Circles-InKing Royalty Blog Hop

19 Comments / Blog Hop / February 22, 2023

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s February Blog Hop! This year’s hops are inspired by our favorite shapes and favorite colors – today’s projects showcase some of Stampin’ Up!’s amazing shades of red. We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

Why is it that the simplest themes tend to be the most difficult? I love the color red and for some reason my mind went to circles because Valentine’s Day is over and well, I just could not do hearts. Some days I am just on the struggle bus and while it took me much longer than need be, I am happy with my results.

I started with a Basic White card base and to another layer of white measuring 4 x 5¼, I added a 1 inch strip of Poppy Parade, Real Red, Cherry Cobbler and Merry Merlot. I used liquid glue to attach each strip. Then I ran the layer through my Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine using the Metal Plate 3-D folder. I then cut the layer using my Picture This circle die.

The greetings and the flowers are from the Lovely You stamp set. I stamped everything with Real Red ink. I fussy cut the flowers using my paper snips and attached them to the small circles using a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional. I hope you enjoy my circles of red card creation.

I hope you have fun hopping with us to day, next stop is Stamp Me Silly with Jan Dufour. Don’t forget to leave a comment, we love hearing feedback from you!

Sentimental Park Bundle

2 Comments / Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thank You / February 21, 2023

My card today was created using the new Sentimental Park Bundle. This new bundle is available in the mini 2023 Spring catalog. This is a super sweet card, but I would not consider it to be a clean and simple card. It is not hard by any means, but does have a few moving parts and several steps for using the dies.

I began with a Basic White card base and embossed another layer of Basic White using the 3-D Fern embossing folder. I added that to a layer of Night of Navy and then to the card front. The strip of Designer Series Paper is from the Sun Prints pack. I cut my strip to be 2 x 5¼. The squares are dies from Stylish Shapes and all other dies are included in the Sentimental Park Bundle.

I love all the little flower dies that come in this bundle. They are great for adding that additional embellishment, here I used one on the greeting which I stamped with Night of Navy ink. The other flowers are cut using Basic White and Night of Navy CS with the stem from Old Olive.

I hope you enjoyed this card. I really am enjoying this set and love all the greeting possibilities. Happy Stamping!
