No Need for Art Class

July 23, 2021July 23, 20211 Comment

You don’t have to be able to draw to be artistic: Rubber stamps are the tools that give you the creativity without the time and commitment of becoming a master!

The Hand-Penned Petals suite has stamps that appear hand-drawn, with two step-stamping images to “fill in” colors and hand-penned greetings.

Pair the stamps with the coordinating dies and Designer Series Paper and you’ll be creating keepsakes your friends will treasure for years to come. When you choose the suite of products, it includes the stamp set, dies, Designer Series Paper and Genial Gems embellishments!

Sweet as a Peach: July 3 for Free

July 9, 20211 Comment

I could survive on fruit alone, and probably in my crafting, as well. Who wouldn’t love to bite into a sweet, juicy peach on a hot summer day?

In July 2021, I’m sending out 3 projects to my customers who purchase either the You’re a Peach Produ ct Suite OR the Sweet as a Peach bundle…and let me be clear ~ The Suite is SWEETEST! It includes the stamp set, the coordinating dies, adorable Designer Series Paper AND a set of mini jam jars. (HINT: You might want to snag a second pack of the You’re a Peach DSP as it’s also on the July Designer Series Paper Sale and you are going to gobble it up).

Did you see that peek that you can also turn the peaches into cherries? (or plums, or even blueberries!)

While I will mail the consumable supplies for the free projects to you, there are a few supplies you may need. You are welcome to substitute colors you already have, but these colors will coordinate best for your projects:

Ink Pads: Pale Papaya, Flirty Flamingo, Pear Pizzazz, Cherry Cobbler, Calypso Coral, Memento Tuxedo Black, Craft White
Tools: Sponge Daubers, handheld hole punch, Tear & Tape Adhesive, Stampin’ Seal, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine (or mini machine)

I created this card for a swap and wanted you to see the Stitched Greenery Die, which you may not have even noticed in the catalog, but is my new favorite. It covers a whole card and paired with the peaches, it adds the perfect texture:

Tip for stamping perfectly ripe peaches: Stamp the peaches in Pale Papaya ink, then use a sponge dauber to add a *touch* of Flirty Flamingo ink on one side of the image before stamping onto your paper!

Trendy Hanging House Plants

July 2, 2021July 9, 20211 Comment

BLOOM WHERE YOU’RE PLANTED SUITE

I have early memories of my mother creating macramé and the trend of hanging house plants in these woven hangers has returned with fervor! You can enjoy this old-is-new-again fashion (without having to remember to water the plants) when you create with the Bloom Where You Are Planted Suite.

One cool feature of this suite is that the dies not only cut out the stamped images, but ALSO many of the printed images on the coordinating Designer Series Paper! If you need MORE of the patterned paper to pre-cut for projects, it’s on sale during our June DSP sale!

For this card, you can ink the right plant image with Calypso Coral ink, then stamp off once on scrap paper, but before stamping again on card stock use a sponge dauber inked with Old Olive ink to add highlights on edges of the leaves on the stamp, then press your image to the card stock and cut it out with the coordinating dies.

Hydrangeas Abound

March 29, 2021March 29, 2021Leave a comment

Hydrangeas represent gratitude, grace, abundance, and beauty. The Hydrangea Hill Suite offers you abundant beauty & grace with for your Spring creative projects with a two-step stamping set, coordinating dies and Designer Series Paper and accessories.

Warm up your creativity with this bundle or suite from my Stampin’ Store in March 2021 and you’ll also receive supplies for 3 exclusive projects from me! UPDATE: We are getting low on inventory for some of the products in the suite, so this is your best opportunity to order!

Sharing a few “bonus” project photos with you as well; The first shows how lovely the hydrangea blossom is when embossed in white and watercolored.

WATERCOLORING TIP: Squeeze your ink pads when they are closed, then pick up the ink from THE LID when opened (never put your water pens onto your ink pads to pick up ink!)

This is one of our acetate card boxes that you could decorate and fill with a small gift like tea towels, napkins, cash or thank you cards for a newlywed couple. While the mercury glass acetate sheets in this suite are colored Rococo Rose or Highland Heather on one side, they are silver on the back side, as used on this sample.

March 3 for Free: Hydrangea Haven

March 8, 2021March 8, 2021Leave a comment

Each month I offer a different “free kit” for a bundle from the newest catalog: During March, when you purchase the Hydrangea Haven bundle (or Hydrangea Hill Suite Collection available again mid-March), I will send you 3 tutorials by email and the consumable supplies via USPS to complete the projects.

With blossoms beginning to burst forth this month, these lovely bunches of flowers seemed a fitting way to spring into crafting that coordinates with the season! There are a few products you’ll need to complete the projects: Scissors, adhesive and Stampin’ Dimensionals, Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine (or Big Shot), Tuxedo Black Memento pad AND these suggested Stampin’ Up! ink pads: Highland Heather, Misty Moonlight, Rococo Rose and Seaside Spray. These colors also coordinate with the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper. You may want to add these items to your cart when you are ordering the bundle.

TIP: Rococo Rose and Seaside Spray are two retiring 2019-2021 In-Colors leaving us in April, so if you need to order ink refills for your ink pads (or matching card stock or accessories), get them SOONER than later, as they tend to sell out quickly!

While these pretty purple projects are NOT part of the kit, I did show you how to use the Hydrangea with the gorgeous Mercury Glass Acetate Sheets (included in the Suite Collection) during a recent Facebook Lunchtime Live Crafting:

Want to plan ahead for future 3 for Free kits? The kit with your purchase for April will be the Sweet Ice Cream bundle (or Ice Cream Corner Suite Collection).

In case I haven’t mentioned it recently, I know you have many options for purchasing your craft supplies and I *TRULY* appreciate when you choose me to keep you stamping. Your support of my small business means the world to me, so thank you from my heart to yours.

The Brilliance of Butterflies

March 4, 2021Leave a comment

Let your creativity take flight with the artistic designs of the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle! This stamp and die bundle is an exciting early-release from the upcoming 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.

This unique collection is made up of:

* One LARGE stamp with intricately detailed butterfly images.

* A coordinating multi-image die cut out the images in one pass and additional coordinating, detail-rich dies to add even more beauty to your projects. You’ll love both the convenience of stamping once and cutting once!

Only through May 3rd (or while supplies last), you can also get your hands on the gorgeous, limited-release, coordinating designer series paper and a unique, textured specialty paper that will add a pop of brilliance to your projects. Many of the paper images coordinate with the dies, too!

Paper coordinates with the dies

VIEW COLLECTION ONLINE

The Butterfly Brilliance Stamp Set is perfect for every butterfly occasion. Not only is the art style realistically detailed which allows for a wide range of versatility, these butterflies are modeled after butterfly species from around the world! The butterflies on this single stamp are arranged for an easy background stamp, or alternatively, use a masking technique to stamp individual butterflies!

This unique set is made up of one large stamp and it coordinates with the die to cut out the images in one pass.

You may want to purchase a second stamp set so you can cut the butterfly images and use independently.

TIPS: The Gilded Leafing is packed tightly in the container and is super light so it can “float” around easily. Open the container carefully and consider storing the leafing in a larger storage container with a lid. This makes the leafing easier to use and also easier to return excess leafing once done.
