#178 Stack-Slice-Shuffle Make It Monday

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. What a beautiful weekend here in St. Louis. My heart goes out to all affected by Helene! About 30 years ago our garage and basement flooded. What a mess, but nothing compared to our friends in Florida. I can only imagine the valley of emotions as you begin recovery and clean up. Our prayers are certainly with you.

For those of you more inland, hopefully you had a chance to get into you craft room for a bit of creating. Today, I am excited to share with you the Stack, Slice, and Shuffle technique to create three…..well perhaps six cards. Stay tuned this week to see the other three.

Bye Bye Birdie ~ #177 Make It Monday

Happy Monday everyone. Today I am excited to share three cards for three different occasions using the birdies from the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle feature in the 2024 Holiday Mini Catalog. I used an embossing folder for each card. It is amazing how a simple embossed layer enhances our card projects.

I love how sweet these cards turned out and it is all because of those stinkin’ cute birds! This is definitely a set to add to your stash. It is so versatile I know you will have fun creating cards for any season.

Lifetime of Love Make It Monday #176

Happy Monday. Although it is almost fall, here in St. Louis the weather has been quite warm. The next few weeks are supposed to be in the 90’s which is not really typical for September. Oh, I am not complaining but I do hope we get some good fall weather in October.

I do have to wonder about all the young couples who are planning to get married this month. Chances are when they chose a September date they were not planning on summertime weather. While the weather might not be perfect for a wedding, today, I do have some pretty great wedding/anniversary and or birthday cards for you to create.

Here is a Closer Look at today’s cards!

For today’s cards I used the Lifetime of Love stamp set and coordinating dies, which is featured in the 2024-2025 annual catalog. I hope you enjoyed today’s Make It Monday. Be sure to stop back on Wednesday for our Weekly Wednesday video series. Happy Stamping!

Layers of Beauty ~ Make It Monday #170

Layering is a technique used to add dimension and texture to our creations. By combining different papers, textures, and embellishments, layering can guide a viewer’s eye by creating visual cues that strategically highlight focal points. But what if you tried layering with different masking templates like in our Layers of Beauty Bundle. This simple layer helps to add color detail in all the right places.

While this is not a 5 minute card technique, it really does not take long to add the differently layers to your floral image. It does take a bit of patience to let the template do all the work, I am sure you will not be disappointed, as creating these layers is simple and if you take the time to add each layer I am sure you will be amazed with the artistic result. Happy Stamping!

Attitude of Gratitude ~ Make it Monday #169

Today I have more crafting fun with the Textured Floral Bundle from Stampin’ Up! Put on an attitude of gratitude and create three fun cards to show your appreciation. You never know when you are going to need a thank you card.

I am always amazed at how different our card creations turn out when we use a variety of colors or we add a little bling. This is one of those stamp sets that looks bold with a darker ink and soft and subtle with a lighter color. Have fun experimenting and Happy Stamping!
