A Little Under the Moon with Dophins!

Just wanted to share a quick card today using Stampin' Up!'s Under the Moon Stamp Set!  This set is so perfect for a quick stamped card ... that is still gorgeous and full of depth! 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Petal Pink, Peach Pie, Lemon Lolly, Coastal Cabana, Basic Gray, Basic White

Inks: Petal Pink, Peach Pie, Coastal Cabana, Basic Gray

Cardstock/Papers: Lemon Lolly, Basic White, Thick Basic White

Stamps: Under the Moon

Tools:  Countryside Corners Dies, Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder, Water Painter (for splatter), Heat Tool

Accessories: Iridescent Faceted Gems, Basics Wow! Embossing Powder

I first cut out a Countryside Corners piece then did my stamping right on that.  A few tips: 

🐬  Ink up the moon in Petal Pink.  Then use a sponge dauber to "pounce" some ink onto the clouds.  Then stamp onto the cardstock! 

🐬 Stamp ocean image twice.  First time stamp right under the moon.  Then turn the stamp upside down and stamp it right under the first ocean stamp. 

🐬  I used clear embossing powder on the dolphins to give them a little "jumping out of the ocean" glow.  Hee.  Can't tell in photos but is a fun subtle touch when you see it in person. 

But just a few layers and and one embellishment and you have a fun card to give anyone you need to say thank you to!

Thank you for visiting!  I hope you enjoy this card!  Please let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything!  Would love to help you get your hands on this cute stamp set from Stampin' Up! or anything else you need!

Artisan Fun With the Regal Flora Bundle!

Is it time again?!  Time again to hop around with some of Stampin' Up's Artisan Design Team?!  Why YES! Yes it is!  😀  Today we are sharing projects we made with the Regal Flora Bundle.  This bundle is actually part of a gorgeous winter suite ... but we are switching things up a bit!  Instead of using the full suite, we are just using the bundle!  And NOT using colors in the suite!   I LOVE doing this because I think sometimes you can get stuck on a particular "vibe" - depending on how you first saw a certain set of products.  Well let us help you see outside the box!  Come hop along and see what we made using different colors with the Regal Flora Bundle! 

A bit different then what you have maybe seen of the Regal Flora Bundle, huh?!  Hee.  (If you haven't seen this suite of products yet ... click HERE to see Stampin' Up!'s Sept-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog.  Then go to page 34-35 to see it!) And I ♡ LOVE ♡ it!  I also love how you can use basically the same supplies and colors and get two totally different "vibes!"

But let me show you each project a bit better!  

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lime Twist, Petunia Pop, Basic White, Basic Black

Inks: Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lime Twist, Petunia Pop, VersaMark

Cardstock/Papers: Azure Afternoon, Basic White, Basic Black

Stamps: Regal Flora

Tools:  Regal Flora Dies, Cute Crochet Embossing Folder, Small Blending Brush, Bone Folder, Water Painter (for splatter), Heat Tool

Accessories: Iridescent Faceted Gems, Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Basics WOW! Embossing Powder

This first card was really fun to make.  There is a piece of Designer Series Paper as the base of the card (from the Bright & Beautiful pack).  I love the texture this easily gives.  Then the Azure Afternoon panel is stamped & embossed to add some gorgeous texture without extra bulk.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE that detailed die that is peeking out of the side of this panel.  

The florals and leaves are stamped, die-cut, & layered to create a gorgeous focal point.  I blended some ink over the leaves so the flowers with the white outline would pop ... and the leaves would blend and play a more "supporting" role.  😃

The way that greeting pops too ... I just love the boldness of this card! 💖

This next card, I continued on with the same color palette, but in a more subtle way.  That white card base makes the colors pop, but yet tones it all down.  Which do you prefer?!  

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lime Twist, Petunia Pop, Basic White, Basic Black

Inks: Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lime Twist, Petunia Pop, VersaMark

Cardstock/Papers: Basic White, Basic Black

Stamps: Regal Flora

Tools:  Regal Flora Dies, Fern Embossing Folder, Small Blending Brush, Water Painter (for splatter), Heat Tool

Accessories: Iridescent Faceted Gems, Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Basics WOW! Embossing Powder

I love the interest that the panels create.  They are so easy to do also.  Just cut out a few panels, stamp, blend, then splatter.  Layer together, offsetting for more interest, and add your focal point.  

I used that gorgeous detailed die because how could you not?!  It is SOOOOO gorgeous!  😍😍😍

And kept it simple with just one of the floral die-cuts and a leaf.  I used the same Basic Black with embossed white greeting cause I love how it pops!  

What do you think?!  Which card is your favorite?!  What technique or detail do you want to try?!  I would love to see anything you make with this bundle! AND ... I am so excited to share with you what others on the team made! 

Because guess what?!  YES!  So much more gorgeous inspiration to come!  And it is time to keep hopping! 

NEXT IN OUR HOP IS ...

Need a Treat?! With Autumn Abundance Paper Pumpkin Kit!

I shared two alternative cards using the Sept 2024 Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Kit, called Autumn Abundance, in THIS POST and THIS POST.  Today I am sharing another fun alternative! This time, I took the small card in the kit, added a few score lines, and made a little treat holder! 

Here it is with a treat inside:

And what it looks like without a treat inside! 

I love that little peekaboo window! 

I added a piece of the one of the other cards on the inside & stamped a greeting.  Here is what it is opened up ...

Then you just add your treat and you've got the cutest treat card! (And if you didn't want to do a treat ... any small gift would be so much fun added! 

I hope you enjoy!  Thank you so much for visiting!  Please let me know if you have any questions and if I can help you get your own Paper Pumpkin Kit in the mail each month!

Stripe-y Artful Amaryllis!

Have you checked out the Artful Amaryllis Bundle in Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Catalog?  It is a fun one and I couldn't wait to play with it!  So here we go! Sharing my first card that I made with this bundle! 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Calypso Coral, Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Coastal Cabana, Basic White

Inks: Calypso Coral, Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Coastal Cabana, Memento Black

Cardstock/Papers: Calypso Coral, Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Basic White, Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper

Stamps: Artful Amaryllis

Tools:  Cute Crochet Embossing Folder, Round We Go Dies (scallop edge), Artful Amaryllis Dies, Happy Labels Pick A Punch (scallop edge on greeting), Water Painter

Accessories: Iridescent Foil Gems, Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Wink of Stella Glitter Brush

I just did a little watercoloring and then wanted to add a pop! - so I made that fun stripe detail!  It was so easy.  Just add some Adhesive Sheet to a piece of "scrap" cardstock, cut the colors of cardstock that you want into small strips, then add them to the piece of cardstock with the Adhesive Sheet! 

Look how much fun it is!  💗  And here are a few photos to show the fun way I used the dies ... 

1.  Watercolor your image, including the Coastal Cabana background.  Use the coordinating die and cut it out from Masking Paper.  

2. Squeeze the Coastal Cabana ink pad together before opening it, creating a pool of liquid in the lid, open it, and grab the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush! 

3.  Add the mask, and splatter - using the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush - by picking up ink with the brush and flicking it in the lid over the watercolor paper.  

4.  Remove the mask and voila!  So gorgeous!  

Also feel free to add a little Wink of Stella over the floral image!  It really is SO pretty - just wish I could get a good picture of it!  Haha. 

I hope you enjoy this card!  Please let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything!  Would love to help you with all your papercrafting needs!

Color Challenge for TGIF Challenge #493 Turns Into A Tropical Halloween!

 Yay!  I love a fun color challenge!  When you see this color challenge, I think you could maybe guess why it took me into a Halloween mood.  Haha.  I was actually going to purposefully not do Halloween because of that.  But then I got a fun idea in my head and just went with it.  So HAPPY HALLOWEEN for TGIF Challenge #493! 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Very Vanilla

Inks: Pumpkin Pie, Memento Black

Cardstock/Papers: Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, Halloween Spells Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Under the Moon

Tools:  Mini Alphabet Dies, Beach Days Dies, Heat Tool, Water Painter

Accessories: Iridescent Faceted Gems, Clear Embossing Powder

Can you guess the colors that are in the challenge now?!  Hee.   Just in case you can't, and since you are here for a color challenge, here is the official color challenge graphic! 

Pretty Halloween-y, huh?!  However ... I combined a couple of Stampin' Up! products that I don't think would typically make you think of Halloween.  I used the Under the Moon Stamp Set & the Beach Days Dies.  And just look at how powerful colors can be!  Because in my eyes ... using these colors makes this all a bit spooky and ready for Halloween! 🧡🦇👻🖤 (And yes ... I also know the "Boo!" sentiment helps with that.  Haha.

I really do love the dark silhouetted palm trees.  And I love how the moon & ocean images look also.  

I used the fun paper pack called Halloween Spells for the card front.  I love that little patterned touch behind the focal point.

What do you think?  Did this color combo spark some ideas for you?!  Can't wait to see what you create! with it!  Head on over to the TGIF Challenge Blog to check out what the others on the TGIF Design Team created and to play along with us!

Petunia Pop Cake Fancy Background!

Wanted to share a quick card I made with a stamp set that I just got!  I was going to make a cute cake birthday card, but a different vision ended up on the card.  Haha.  

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Petunia Pop, Summer Splash, Gray Granite, Basic White

Inks: Petunia Pop, Summer Splash, Gray Granite

Cardstock/Papers: Basic White, Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper

Stamps: Cake Fancy, My Small Business

Tools:  Heartfelt Hexagon Punch, Timber 3D Embossing Folder, Water Painter

Accessories: Iridescent Faceted Gems, Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Summer Splash 3/8" Bordered Ribbon

Yes - I still used the Cake Fancy Stamp Set.  I used the rectangle cake piece to stamp the fun background!  

It is all stamped with Petunia Pop, and I just stamped twice between re-inking the stamp to get the fun variation of color!  Look how pretty! 😍

Then I just stamped some flowers from the stamp set, cut them out, and added them as a little accent.  

I punched a hexagon using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch from Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.  I watercolored it (Gray Granite ink), stamped it (My Small Business Stamp Set), added some ribobn, and voila! A fun thank you to give someone! 

Pretty quick card to make and so much fun!  And just shows how versatile this stamp set it!  

Think outside the cake!  Hee.

Autumn Abundance Alternative ... Part 2!!

Just another alternative made with the FABULOUS Autumn Abundance Paper Pumpkin Sept 2024 Kit from Stampin' Up!  Check out THIS POST to see the first alternative that I posted! 

Today's card also has a pop of Pool Party addition to go with the original colors from the kit.  But not as much as the last card.  

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Pool Party, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Copper

Accessories: Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins, Linen Thread, Pieces from Autumn Abundance Paper Pumpkin Kit

I used a mix of pieces from the kit as well as some additional items from the Annual Catalog. 

I love the wood cut card fronts and added a piece to the bottom.  

The top is some Crumb Cake cardstock stamped with one of the stamps from the kit and then the leaf image from Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set.  Then some splatter added! 

The Early Espresso cardstock strip is embossed with the Timber Embossing Folder. 

The background on the card front is from the Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper. 

I hope you enjoy this alternative!  Paper Pumpkin Kits are SUCH a good $$ deal!  They come with a stamp set, an ink spot, and then all the supplies needed to make multiples of the current months project! Which you can then make as is, or mix & match with other supplies to create so many fabulous projects!

Autumn Abundance Paper Pumpkin Fun With An Alternative!

Have you checked out Stampin' Up!'s Sept 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit yet?!  It is called Autumn Abundance. I love getting this fun box in the mail!  📪 You can create the projects as instructed ... you get everything in the kit needed to make the projects as shown ... or you can take the pieces and change things up!  Either way is so much fun!  

Today I am sharing one of the alternatives I made for the Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Live video using the kit & a few extra goodies.  I added Pool Party to the color combo ... because I like things a little fresh and fun no matter what the season is! 💗 Hee. 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Pool Party, Early Espresso, Night of Navy Copper

Inks: Pool Party, Night of Navy

Cardstock/Papers: Pool Party, Early Espresso, Autumn Abundance Paper Pumpkin Kit pieces

Stamps: Autumn Abundance Paper Pumpkin Stamp Set

Tools:  Spotlight On Nature Dies, Every Celebration Dies, Timber Embossing Folder

Accessories: Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins, Linen Thread, Pieces from Autumn Abundance Paper Pumpkin Kit

See how fun Pool Party is with this kit!  I just took the Spotlight of Nature Dies & used the largest stitched circle to cut out a piece from one of the card bases that came in the kit.  

🙌 💗 🙌 💗 🙌 ***DO YOU KNOW STAMPIN' UP! OFFERS COORDINATING DIES AS AN OPTIONAL PURCHASE FOR THE PAPER PUMPKIN KITS?!?!*** 🙌 💗 🙌 💗 🙌

I absolutely love that they added that and that's where the "Hooray" die-cut comes from!  It is called Every Celebration Dies & you can only order these as a Paper Pumpkin subscriber!  (So reach out if you need to become one!)

TIP: Add Adhesive Sheets to cardstock before die-cutting!  This word is gorgeous, and thin, so it makes it so nice to just make it a "sticker" to easily adhere! 

Also ... yes that copper leaf is in the kit.  IT IS STUNNING!  On the sheet you pop the leaves out of, there is a fun little outline left after you pop it out.  So I just took my Paper Snips and cut around the outline to add another fun layer to the leaf.  😍

Another fun detail ... I stamped the Pool Party cardstock before embossing it with the Timber Embossing Folder.  I love the texture and detail it gives.  

All in all ... I hope you enjoy this card!  Check out the live on Stampin' Up!'s Paper Pumpkin Facebook page to see more!
