You Are Remarkable Weekly Wed. #55

Leave a Comment / Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Happy Wednesday or should I say Happy Hump Day?Not everyone remembers this term in fact, it is more of an American slang. Who knew?

The term hump is a slang expression commonly used to refer to Wednesday, the middle day of the traditional workweek. The 1950s was the first time when Wednesdays were called ‘Hump Day’. The term is believed to have originated in the United States and has been popular ever since. During the 20th century, Wednesday earned its reputation as ‘hump day’ as a way to inject some excitement into the otherwise monotonous work week. Clearly these workers did not craft for a living! LOL

Today our card was created using two online exclusive stamp sets, well, technically one stamp set and one set of dies, but hey who wants to be technical! I created our card today using the You Are Remarkable stamp set and the dies from the Textured Notes Bundle. You are going to love creating with these beautiful rectangles.

Introducing two new stamp sets and a new In-color as we create a quick clean and simple card. If you are not familiar with Clean and Simple stamping, it typically refers to cards created using minimal supplies. The cards I have seen usually feature a stamp set, cardstock and some ink. Of course you are always welcome to bling it up, after all what crafter doesn’t like a little bling, right?

I hope you enjoyed today’s clean and simple card. Have fun playing around with different colors and of course different stamp sets. Happy Stamping!

This is some of our retired patterned paper, but it is still a great choice.

For this sample I used the same paper pack, coordinating colors, but a different strip for each section. The greeting is stamped with Memento Black ink and fussy cut with our paper snips. I love our snips, they make fussy cuttings so easy. Click here for our paper snips!

Weekly Wed. #50 Friends of the Ocean

Happy Birthday, Thinking of You, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Happy Wednesday. I am once again featuring two cards I created using the Friends of the Ocean paper pack. It is time to think about venturing out to the beach. Summer will be here before you know it.

Our first card was created using the Lemon Lime Twist cardstock. I don’t often use this color, but it coordinates perfectly with this paper pack. Plus it is so vibrant and just plain fun! The greetings if from With You in Mind and is stamped with Melon Mambo ink.

Sticking with the colors in the paper our second card is the In-color, Summer Splash. It also coordinates perfectly, so fresh and summery! I stamped the greeting from Layering Leaves in Summer Splash and cut out some of our tiny ocean friends using my paper snips. If you watch the video, you will know why I needed to add the extra starfish.

Enjoy these fun summer colors and this paper pack of ocean friends while supplies last. Click here to view the online last chance products. Happy Stamping!

Elements of Text-Weekly Wed. #49

Just Because Cards, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Happy Wednesday all. I hope you are having a blessed week. Today we are playing with an online exclusive set, Elements of Text. This is a great set to add a muted background to many of our current stamp sets. I am using Spotlight on Nature for todays card, but I can also see using it with Beautiful Butterflies, Textured Notes, Sketched Butterflies, and Thoughtful Wishes, just to name a few. LOL

Start with a colored card base of your choice. I used Pretty in Pink and Misty Moonlight for today’s cards. Add a coordinating layer of cardstock 4 x 5-1/4 to the card front. I chose Basic Black for my pink card and Crumb Cake for the Misty Moonlight version. You will need a layer of white for stamping that measures 3-3/4 x 5. I used Pretty In Pink and Crumb Cake ink for my cards today-see video for details. The greeting is from Simply Said, and yes, it is one of my favorite greetings sets in the 2024-2025 annual catalog.

As always you can add 4 x 5-1/4 piece of Basic White to the inside and decorate as desired. Since the Pretty in Pink cardstock is light, I am not going to add a white panel to that one, but again that is totally your choice. There are no mistakes in stamping, only creative opportunities. Go ahead, think outside the box and add some bling. Everyone’s taste is different and that is what makes stamping with friends so much fun! Happy Stamping!

#47 Weekly Wed. Everyday Details~Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Happy Wednesday all. I hope the weather has warmed up for you. Here in St. Louis, it is gorgeous. Much like our card today! LOL Today I am featuring a set from the annual catalog. The dies are amazing! Be sure to add this to your order today.

I started with a Highland Heather card base. For the rectangles, I cropped a 2-1/2 x 4 piece of Basic White and Gorgeous Grape CS. The greeting was stamped in Gorgeous Grape on a 1 x 2-1/2 and then cropped with the small rectangular die. See video for details on the birthday greeting, recognize it? It is from Beautiful Butterflies. I attached all pieces to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The inside has a small butterfly, see video for details.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Sometimes it is good to color with watercolor pencils. Don’t be afraid to alter your stamps if they are not working for you. It is always fun to think outside the box. Happy Stamping!

Weekly Wednesday #46 Shades and Hues

Designer Series Paper, Thank You, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Hey friends I am back with another Weekly Wednesday video and the designer series paper pack for today’s card is on the Last Chance list. Click Here for the Shades and Hues and other products that are on sale. I know this paper pack will get your creative juices flowing.

To create today’s card, begin with a 4 x 5 -1/4 piece of designer series paper. The color of course is your choice. I choose the Pool Party-Coastal Cabana hues. Cut the panel in portrait position (short side at the top) at 2-1/2. Simply flip the smaller piece so the solid side is showing and attach both pieces to a Basic White card base. See video for details.

I stamped the solid banner from Kiss of Texture with Pool Party ink. The greeting is from Simply Said and stamped with Coastal Cabana. The banner dies from Stylish Shapes crop this banner perfectly-who knew? I love it when everything coordinates. Add a strip of Coastal Cabana CS and a few pearls and you are all set. Love it! This paper pack does all the work,. Be sure to order your pack today as it is on the Last Chance Product list and supplies are limited!

Thanks for stopping by!
