April 2017 – Teresa's Stampin' Spot

I Scream, You Scream

We all scream for Ice Cream!! Where did that come from? It was popped into my head when I started this post for today. My Waterfall Ice Cream card!

SU! Stampin' Up! Sprinkles of Life, Waterfall Card

On Saturday, I am hosting a class featuring Waterfall Cards – and this is one of the cards we will be doing. I love how it turned out and hope the attendees do as well.

When you pull on the string at the bottom, the scoops of ice cream flip up:

And again:

This also reveals the rest of the sentiment!

I used the directions found here with one slight adjustment – my colored squares are only 1 3/4 x 2″ as I wanted the scoops closer together and 2″ in height left too much blank space for me.

My Top 10 Retiring Must Haves

Hi! Today I thought I’d share with you my Top 10 Retiring Must Haves. If these aren’t already in your collection – I highly recommend them!

SU! Gorgeous Grunge

Gorgeous Grunge – This is a great set to add depth and dimension to any project. I am sad to see this one go.
Endless Birthday Wishes – Love the font on this set – perfect for anyone
Endless Thanks – See number #2 above
Special Reason – While I haven’t had much chance to showcase this set in the Occasions Catalog – I do love it. The sentiments and the font jump out at me and it was one of the first bundles I purchased. Unfortunately, the framelits are no longer available – but the set itself is a great addition to anyone’s collection.
Crazy About You Stamp Set & Hello You Thinlets – Looking for a set that covers so many different needs? Try this one.
Wetlands – Perfect for masculine cards – from birthday to saying thank you.
Picture Perfect – 3 step stamping made easy. This photopolymer set is easy to use and makes gorgeous images.
Elegant & Bitty Butterfly Punches – I love butterflies and have used these punches on so many projects. Add a few rhinestones or pearls down the center to jazz them up. You can also sponge a little ink around the edges.
Owl Builder Punch – This little guy can be dressed up for any occasion – from weddings, graduations, nurses to just himself.
Curvy Keepsake Box – this box is so versatile – from holding little chocolates to little toys – it can be dressed up for wedding favors or used as countdown to Christmas boxes. A must have for anyone who gives little gifts.

There you have it. My Top 10 items from the retiring list. Have fun with it! If you need to add any of these to your collection, simply click on the picture below to be taken to my on-line store. The current hostess code is: BC7RAWEH

Hi! Question of the day – do you like stamping on Crumb Cake? I forget how pretty cards can look when you don’t use Whisper White or Very Vanilla for your main panel.

A Sketch Challenge

Hi. Today I am playing along with this week’s Freshly Made Sketch #282.

Stampin' Up! SU! Basket Bunch, Little Cuties

For this card, I used the little chick from the Basket Bunch set and the coordinating dies to cut him out. He is colored with Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin pie markers. The sentiment is from the Little Cuties stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Basket Bunch, Weather Together, SU!

For this one, I used the daffodil flower from the Basket Bunch set. The sentiment is from Weather Together. I chose to stamp the sentiment around the outside for this one. The smallest and largest Square Stitched Framelits were used to die cut the squares. The flowers are Daffodil Delight and the background is Soft Suede.

Lastly, I made this one: Stampin' Up! SU! Basket Bunch, That's The Tag

This one uses the flower from Basket Bunch and the sentiment from That’s The Tag. I distressed the edges of the Island Indigo to give a little dimension to the panel. The base and flowers are Soft Sky.

All 3 cards are 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 – a fun size to play with from the traditional A2 size.

What’s the last non-traditional size card you made?

A Little Shelter

Hi! Last week I saw this card by Jen Timko and loved the layout – so wanted to give it a try. Here is what I came up with:

Stampin' Up! SU! Weather Together

I love how it turned out! The clean look is just striking. I used the Weather Together bundle for the umbrella and sentiment. The Designer Series Paper behind the umbrella is from the Cupcakes and Carousels paper stack. As Jen did, I also layered a piece of vellum over the designer paper to mute it a little more. My colors are Peekaboo Peach and Soft Suede.

I’d love to know what you think!
