In The Field

Hi!  Today I am saying goodbye to a few more of my favorite stamps and embossing folder.  I shared these cards in my Facebook Live last night.

Field Journal, Masculine, Thank You, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #2020AnnualCatalog

The main images are from the Field Journal stamp set.   I wanted to show that the set could be used for feminine cards as well as masculine.  I also incorporate Here’s A Card – a great sentiment set for both the front and inside of the card as well as the Swirly Frames stamp set – great for adding a little punch to your cards.  I decided to use the same color palate for both cards – Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler.

Both pieces of Cherry Cobbler have been embossed.  The berry card uses the Old World Paper Embossing Folder – love the texture you get from this folder.  The Chipmunk uses the Subtle Embossing Folder – a little hard to see in this picture – but does add a nice touch to the overall card.  I am sad to see both folders leaving our line-up next week.

If you are missing any of these products, simply click on them below to go to my store and add them to your cart.  They are truly a great addition to your crafting stash!

Here’s the video showing both cards and how they are made:

Sunshine on A Rainy Day

Hi and Good Morning!  It is a rainy Saturday here for me and I could use a little brightening up – so decided to share with you today this fun interactive card featuring one of my favorite sets that is sadly retiring on May 3.

Just Because, Friendship. Under My Umbrella, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #2020AnnualCatalog

The images for this card are from the Under My Umbrella stamp set.  The set along with the coordinating Umbrella Builder punch are both leaving us on May 3.    I die cut squares using the two largest stitched squares from the Stitched Shapes Dies (also retiring on May 3).

The boots and flowers are stamped with Black Memento Ink and colored with the following Stampin’ Blends:  Real Red, Pool Party, Old Olive and So Saffron.

I did mention the card is interactive – if you pull on the ribbon, the boots flip open to reveal this:

Revving It Up For The Guys

Hi!  We are counting down the Annual 2020-2021 Annual Catalog and today we are saying goodbye to Geared Up Garage and coordinating dies with these masculine birthday cards!

Garage Gears, Masculine, Birthday, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #2020AnnualCatalog

Did you check out the prints in the Well Suited Designer Series Paper from the January-June Mini Catalog?  They are great to pair with this set in the Annual Catalog.

For this particular card, I stamped the car in Memento Black ink and colored with the Real Red Stampin’ Blends.   The sentiment is from the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set and also stamped in Memento Black ink.

To add a little flair, three banner tags were created using the retiring Triple Banner punch from Basic Gray, Real Red and Basic Black card stock.

For this second card, I switched up my color palette to Gray Granite and Night of Navy.

Geared Up Garage, Masculine, Birthday, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #2020AnnualCatalog

The designer series paper is once again from the Well Suited Designer Series Paper pack in the January-June Mini catalog.  The gas can and tool box are stamped in Night of Navy ink and die cut.  The gears are die cut from Night of Navy card stock.  I added the oil splotches behind my tool box using Gray Granite ink.  I love how this card turned out.  As I have a brother-in-law that is a mechanic, this card is perfect for his birthday!

I have a few family members that are into cars and racing and the top card will be perfect for them.

Make sure you grab the stamp set and coordinating dies soon – they are both on SALE on the Last Chance list.  The dies are on low inventory – so don’t wait!  Click here to get them today!
