A Touch of DSP!

Paper Crafting Ideas / March 31, 2021

If you have been stamping for awhile, especially with Stampin’ UP! then you are probably family with DSP. Last week I posted the retiring list of products from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. It might seem like everything is retiring, but I assure you there are more wonderful sets, bundles and kits heading your way in May!

As a Stampin’ UP! Demonstrator, I get a sneak peak at the NEW catalog and you are going to love it. Sorry I am not allowed to share it just yet. If you missed the list last week, I will have a button at the end of this post that will take you the pdf.

Although the colors in today’s card are not retiring, the patterned paper will not be returning.

Begin with a Misty Moonlight card base that measures 5½ x 8½. In landscape position, (aka the long side) score at 4¼. Fold and burnish. This will create a card base.
Cut the six ½ x 4” strips of the 2020-2022 Designer Series paper attach them on the diagonal to a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Basic White cardstock, trimming as needed. As you attach them at an angle, each piece will become smaller and more will need to be trimmed off.
Once all colors are arranged and glued down, stamp the sentiment from So Sentimental in Misty Moonlight ink to the upper portion of the white cardstock.
For the finishing touch randomly add several 2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots.

This is a quick and easy layout that looks great with a variety of patterned papers. It is also a great way to use up those smaller pieces of scrap paper! I hope this inspires you to take a second look at your scrap collection and create something beautiful!

Artfully Thinking of You!

2 Comments / Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Paper Crafting Ideas, Thinking of You / March 27, 2021

Today’s card feature the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper in the Spring mini catalog! This is such a great suite and is filled with tons of product that is sure to get you motivated to create something beautiful.

I focused mainly on the paper and used the greeting from the Framed for You stamp set, which will be retiring soon and I am super sad about that because it has become my go to for greetings. I love how the greetings are a bit smaller and have an elegant font. Oh well, I guess I will have to find a new favorite!

Check out the Framed For You set and many other retiring products soon before they are gone, gone, gone!

CLICK HERE FOR RETIRING LIST

Begin with a Petal Pink card base that measures 5½ x 8½. In landscape position, (aka the long side) score at 4¼. Fold and burnish. This will create a card base.
Cut a 4 x 5¼” and a 3 x 3 7/8” piece of Old Olive cardstock. Attach the larger piece to the card front and set the smaller piece aside.
Cut a 3¼ x 4”, 7/8 x 5¼” and 1 x 2” piece of Petal Pink cardstock.
Cut a ½ x 5¼” strip of Gold Foil cardstock. Layer the gold strip onto the Petal Pink strip that measures 7/8 x 5 ¼”. Now layer that strip across the Old Olive layer on the card front.
Cut a 2¾ x 3½” piece of the Fine Art Gallery Designer Series paper and layer it to the Old Olive piece you set aside. Now layer the Old Olive to the 3¼ x 4” piece of Petal Pink and attach to the card front as show in image.
Stamp the “Thinking of You” greeting from Framed for You in Memento Black on the small remaining piece of Petal Pink cardstock. Trim it down and attach to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I hope you enjoy creating with the products in this amazing suite.

Vine Design-It’s Black and White!

Paper Crafting Ideas, Thinking of You / March 26, 2021

If you have not purchased the True Love Designer Series paper from the Spring mini catalog you don’t know what you are missing. I have totally enjoyed the versatility of this paper. You can leave it black and white or spice it up by adding color with the Stampin’ Blending Brushes or the sponge daubers. If you missed the spiced up with color post, CLICK HERE

**True Love Designer Series Paper # 154281 $11.50**

Today’s card was inspired by this black and white paper. I used the stamps from the Vine Design set to create my own black and white paper.

Begin with a Basic Black card base that measures 5½ x 8½. In landscape position, (aka the long side) score at 4¼. Fold and burnish. This will create a card base.
Cut a 3 ¾ x 5” piece of Basic White cardstock and randomly stamp images from the Vine Design set in Memento Black ink and attach to the cards front.
Cut a 1 x 4” strip of Basic Black cardstock and punch both ends using the Lovely Labels pick a punch.
Stamp the greeting on some white cardstock and cut it down to be 5/8 x 3 1/8” and layer on top of the Basic Black punched embellishment.

Add a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Basic White to the inside of the card and stamp a few flowers of your choice on the inside. There you have it a very clean and simple stamping project created with just a few basic supplies. Check out this set and many others in the Spring mini catalog. Products in this catalog will be available until June!

Sand and Sea Fun!

2 Comments / Paper Crafting Ideas, Thinking of You / March 16, 2021 / Fun with stickers, Opal Rounds, Sand and Sea

I love the sound of the ocean wave, preferably in person, but while getting a massage or falling to sleep at night is nice too. Although I would love to vacation in a home on the beach, I am not sure that I would be brave enough to actually live along the ocean shore.

The waves are beautiful but can also be powerful and a bit scary. I guess if it were on a bluff and close enough to walk, like say a mile or two, that would be awesome.

Today’s card was created as a virtual make and take by a fellow demonstrator, Kathrine Anderson. Thank Kathrine for sharing your time, energy, and talent with all of us!

This card was sent to me as a kit and contains some of the pearlized paper, the seashell stickers and was embossed with the seaside embossing folder.
The pearlized squares are decorated with the stickers and also a round opal jewel.
I used Early Espresso ink and the Framed for You stamp set to stamp for the greeting and added some linen thread around the card front.

Enjoy this set while it lasts! I do hope they carry it over to the 2021-2022 annual catalog, which is coming very soon!!! If you would like to add this to your collection, don’t forget to add and apply the host code to your order!

Thanks guys, I really do appreciate your orders!!! Remember if you spend $25 either through my online store or by emailing me your order you will receive the March Virtual stamp camp class free. Class links and directions will be emailed the last week of the month.

ClICK HERE TO ORDER

Enjoy!!

Well Suited!

Happy Birthday, Masculine Cards, Paper Crafting Ideas / March 15, 2021

If you are like me and struggle creating manly looking cards, then you are going to love the new Well Suited Suite. It has everything you need to create that perfect card for the men in your life. Fun fact, the paper inspiration was actually created from a real tie collection from one of the employees at Stampin’ UP!

Today’s card was part of a make and take from a virtual stamping event and was created by fellow demonstrator Sally Nusbaum. Thanks Sally!!!

This second card was also included in the virtual make and take, but I changed up the original card just a bit. This one was created for a woman and the jewel bling to create the necklace was made using the Opal Rounds from the Sand and Sea Suite pictured on page 41 of the January thru June 2021 catalog.

The “Happy Birthday” greeting is stamped in Rococo Rose ink and punched out using the Double Oval Punch.

I hope you enjoy working with this suite and create many wonderful manly cards!
