Sophisticated Sled- Fun Fact Friday!

Christmas 2024, Online Exclusives /

Did you know that over 9.5 million Americans ice skate? Shocking right?  Apparently over the past ten years skating has not been a popular, but since the pandemic is making a comeback. 

The first ice skating competition was put on in 1892 by the International Skating Union (ISU), not my alma mater, Illinois State University, LOL.  That event was open to all amateur skaters. The first figure skating event was at the Summer Olympic Games in 1908 and since 1924 has been part of the Winter Olympic Games.  Interesting, right?

Today’s cards were created by one of the designers at Stampin’ Up! and features the online exclusive stamp bundle Sophisticated Sled and the Winter Meadows 12 x 12 Designer Series paper pack.

Weekly Wednesday #30-Banner Stamping

Happy Birthday, Online Exclusives, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Join me in creating a fun card using the new Caring Leaves stamp set in the Holiday mini catalog. Although you may think this is a total fall set, today I am using three fun In-Colors for a spring/summer birthday card. I hope you enjoy this technique I am calling banner stamping.

This fun card will turn out differently every time depending on how you blend the colors on your banner panels and of course what colors you use. The Caring Leaves stamp set it perfect for this technique because of its’ solid bold lines. So grab your favorite colors and a few blending brushes and let’s get creating.

Rip & Flip Technique~Weekly Wed. #29

Just Because Cards, Stamping Techniques, Thinking of You, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Hey all I am back with another Weekly Wednesday video. Since last month was the big paper sale, I thought I would share a technique for you to use with your new paper stash. This technique really is a quick and easy way to create a variety of cards in five minutes. Check out the video below. I promise, it is short and simple!

https://youtu.be/E7IXudEqhPg

A Closer look…

Now here is a closer look at the Perennial Lavender paper pack that I used to create this card. The only trick to this technique is to be sure that you have coordinating colors on both sides of your paper. Stampin’ Up! does an amazing job at providing that for us. If for some reason you want to use two different sheets, no problem, just be sure to cut them to be 4 x 6 before you rip and then have fun mixing and matching.

Today’s Card, Supplies, and Measurements:

Gorgeous Grape CS- 5-1/2 x 8-1/2
Gorgeous Grape Ink
Basic White CS-3 x 3
Perennial Lavender DSP- 4 x 6 -rip and flip
Deckled Circle Dies
Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine
Adhesive-my fav is our Liquid Glue
Stampin’ Dimensionals

Love, Love, Love this paper. Again, just be sure to cut your designer series paper a 4 x 6 so you have some wiggle room and then the two pieces will easily overlap making it easier for you to assemble. If you choose a one way pattern design like the image above, be sure to position the paper in your cutter so your pattern will not be upside down. Happy Stamping!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae
