Thinking of You – Teresa's Stampin' Spot

The Bird and I

are thinking of you! I love birds (almost as much as butterflies) and had to get the Nested Friends bundle from the January-April Mini. I hadn’t had much time to play with it, but did get this card made and it has sparked my creativity so I’ll be playing with the bundle a bit more in the near future.

Nested Friends, Bird, Friendship, Thinking of You, InColors21-23, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #JanAprilMini2023

I love using Blender Pens to color with ink – it allows the details of the stamp to shine through while getting complete coverage. The nest is stamped in Early Espresso Ink and then I used a blender pen to spread the ink from stamping to color the nest. I added a bit of color for the leaves using the soon-to-be retired Soft Succulent Marker.

The bird is also stamped in Early Espresso and colored with the same method as the nest. I did add a little bit of Pumpkin Pie for his breast using a Watercolor Pencil. The eggs are stamped in Balmy Blue ink. Both the bird and eggs are die cut using the coordinating dies.

The sentiment is from my favorite Go To Greetings stamp set. If you don’t have this set yet, you are missing out. I love the fonts and different sizes of the images and use it frequently – as in – the set just sits on my table and does not get put away.

The base of the card is Soft Succulent – measuring 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″ and folded. The Basic White panel measure 3 3/4″ x 5″ and is mounted on a piece of Early Espresso measuring 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card.

Sending Happy Thoughts

Hi! How are you? I hope all is going well. I’ve been busy and having fun with the Sale-A-Bration products available for FREE with a purchase through Feb 28.

Today, I am sharing a card I made in last week’s Facebook Live featuring the Beautifully Happy Stamp Set that is FREE with a $100 (prior to S/H and tax) purchase.

SAB, Beautifully Happy, Stampin' Up!, SU!, Happy Thoughts, #SAB2023

I had seen a sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches Challenges in my FB feed that I wanted to give a try and this is the result.

This stamp set is a 2-Step stamping set – it contains both the outline images as well as stamps to fill in the image. The flower outline is stamped in Memento Black ink and the fill-in images are stamped in Flirty Flamingo for the flower and Old Olive for the base of the flower and bud. The sentiment is also stamped in Memento Black ink.

The base of the card is Flirty Flamingo – measuring 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″ and folded. There is a Basic Black mat measuring 4″ x 5 1/4″ and the Basic White stamped layer is 3 3/4″ x 5″.

A relatively simple stamping card – and with the 2-step stamping, very easy to create. There are times a quick card is needed, and the images and sentiments in this set are perfect for that.

If you have not yet taken advantage of Sale-A-Bration – I urge you to do so soon. As we get closer to the end of February – we may run out of your favorites – so to ensure you get the FREE items you want, shop today!

Encircled in Black and White

Hi! Thanks so much for the feedback on Monday’s card and for the votes. I will know next week how I did – so there is still time to vote if you haven’t yet.

Today, I am sharing a card using the Encircled in Friendship stamp set with the gorgeous Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper that you can earn FREE with a $50 purchase (prior to S/H and tax) by Sept 30.

Friendship, Thinking of You, Stampin' Up!, SU! #2021AnnualCatalog, #2021SAB

The Beautifully Penned paper is all Black and White and gorgeous patterns. You can add a touch of color to this paper in many ways:

For my card, I kept it as is and added a touch of color by using Water Color pencils on the flowers. I love how this card turned out and used it for my September #makeacardsendacard. If you aren’t familiar with this, once a month on my Facebook Page I ask folks who could use some happy mail to send me a private message with their address and I’d get one out to them. I am still working on September’s card design – but if you could use a pick-me-up – let me know! I’d be happy to add you to my list.

The sentiment is stamped in Jet Black StaZon – same as the flowers. I used the Layering Circle dies to die cut the sentiment and the Basic Black mat.

The base is Thick Basic White – 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″ and folded. The designer series paper measures 4″ x 5 1/4″. Basic White is used for the coordinating stamped layer – I did die cut before stamping and used the die to align the stamp in my Stamparatus and then rotated the die cut 4 times to stamp the flower image.

The Matte Black Dots were the perfect touch to finish the card.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card!

Yes or No?

Hi! I have a card to share with you that is a little out of the norm. I did share how I made it on a recent Facebook Live and some liked it and some maybe didn’t.

I do like the color combination of Blueberry Bushel and Granny Apple Green – just not sure Crumb Cake is the best color for the background.

This card features the Incredible Like You stamp set. Do you love the detail in the flower? While this is a 2-Step Stamping set – it is also a DistINKtive stamp set which allows for one ink color to take on different shades as seen in the leaves and main flower above. I LOVE this look!

To give the card a little more flair, I added a touch of white at the base of the small flowers using the Chalk Marker.

So, what do you think? Like it? Yes or no? Be honest – (but kind, please).

I’ll have a more traditional card using this set a little later in the week.

Thanks for stopping by!

And What About…

the wreath? Today’s card is the second one I shared using the Wishing You Well stamp set and is the wreath from that set.

I actually paired this with a few other stamp sets – can you identify them all?

The background features the new Buffalo Check in the Holiday Catalog – I think it is perfect and a must have for everyone! The berries on the wreath are from the Banners for You set and the sentiment is from Sheltering Tree. I love how we can use our long time friends from our collection and pair them with new sets to make gorgeous cards! Not sure I captured it well in this picture, but I did use the Clear Wink of Stella glitter pen on the bow and berries – oh so pretty!

Here are the dimensions for each of the layers:

Base: Blueberry Bushel – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″ and folded in half.

Whisper White: 3 3/16″ x 5 6/16″ (behind Buffalo Check), 3″ x 4″ for wreath

Buffalo Check: Crumb Cake – 3″ x 5 3/16″

Blueberry Bushel Mat: 3 3/16″ x 4 3/16″ (behind the wreath)

In case you missed it, this is the second card demonstrated in this video:

Wouldn’t this make a great Christmas Card? Switch out the Blueberry Bushel for Real Red or Cherry Cobbler and the sentiment and there you go! Love the versatility of the Wishing You Well stamp set!

Keeping It Simple Friday

Hi! Today I have a quick and simple card for you – because sometimes, that is just what we need. Thinking of You, Rooted in Nature, Fall, Stampin' Up!, SU! Simple doesn’t have to mean ugly. I love the Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper pack – such gorgeous colors! I am not sure I would have thought to do leaves in Blackberry Bliss and Petal Pink – but this paper is just so pretty! As I said, I kept it simple by just adding a sentiment, a little baker’s wine and a leaf embellishment. Pretty straightforward and done in less than 10 minutes.

What do you think? Do you like quick and easy? With some of our Designer Series Paper you don’t need more than a sentiment and a little embellishing.

Dandelion Wishes

Hi! I’ve got a quick and easy card for your Saturday morning featuring the Dandelion Wishes set.

Smiles, Friendship, Dandelion Wishes, Stampin' Up!, SU!, Masking

The background is sponged with Balmy Blue ink. I created a mask from a piece of the card board that comes in the Designer Series Paper Packs the same size as my front panel (3 3/4 x 5″) and cut a rectangle from the middle of it to create the mask. After sponging, I stamped the single Dandelion from Dandelion Wishes in Crumb Cake ink. The sentiment is from the You Lift Me Up stamp set.

The Whisper White panel is layer on Early Espresso card stock that measures 3 7/8 x 5 1/8″. The base is Balmy Blue card stock measuring 5 1/2 x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″ on the 8 1/2″ side. Easy enough card to mass produce and you can just swap out the sentiment for a Get Well Card, Thinking of You, Thank You or Birthday.

I also did a monochromatic version:

Smiles, Dandelion Wishes, You Lift Me Up, Stampin' Up!, SU!, Masking

Ultimate Pink Blog Hop

ultimatepinkbloghopoct2016

Hi! Today I am hopping with an awesome group of Stampin’ Up Demonstrators from around the world to help turn the internet and Pinterest PINK for the day in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month. Here is my project:

SU! Wild About Flowers, Gift of Love

I created a mask using the layering squares framelits to create my rectangle, then sponged Pink Pirouette in the opening. The leaves are stamped with Pear Pizzazz and the Flowers with Rose Red. The sentiment is from Gift of Love – a hostess set. I love the font and the sentiment.

I was having fun with my mask and the Wild About Flowers set, that I also created the card on the right:

bcapinkoct2016_small_wm

The sentiment for that card is from Best Birds. I have quite a few October birthdays and this will come in handy.
