Stampin’ Up! Share What You Love Graceful Glass Sneak Peek

Posted on April 13, 2018 by stampsnlingers

Happy Day.

Happy Happy Friday!

Today, I considered using all current products.

And then, I spied with my little eye…The Share What You Love goodies laying in plain site on my craft table.  And decided…nah!  I’m playing with that gorgeous Share What You Love Specialty DSP, the Lovely Floral Dynamic TIEF and some of the goodies in the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit.  In the course of making the card, I also pulled out the Painted Glass stamp set and the fun Graceful Glass 6″ x 6″ Designer Vellum.  Take a look see:

 

My layout was inspired by the sketch challenge over at the Paper Craft Crew.

I began by embossing a Basic Black panel in the Lovely Florals Dynamic TIEF (available 1 May in the Gotta Have It All early release bundle!) and then I matted it on Grapefruit Grove card stock (1 June) with Fast Fuse.

With the largest circle Stitched Shapes Framelits die, I cut a circle image from the Graceful Glass 6″ x 6″ Designer Vellum (available 1 June).  I used a few Glue Dots to adhere it to the card front.

I pulled out one of the beautiful pearlized papers in the Share What You Love Specialty DSP and fussy cut some flowers.  Then I found a great leaves image in the Rooted in Nature stamp set (1 June) and stamped it in Tranquil Tide ink on Mint Macaron card stock (1 June), then cut it with the matching die in the Nature’s Roots Framelits (1 June – bundled with the Rooted in Nature set).

I also cut some leaves with the Eclectic Layers Thinlits – available now – from Basic Black.

I wound some Pear Pizzazz 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon across the vellum circle with Glue Dots.

Finally, I stamped a sentiment from the Painted Glass stamp set in Grapefruit Grove on one of the pretty die cut sentiment labels in the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit.

I put Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the sentiment and used them to wind Silver Metallic Thread loops. Then I popped it over the ribbon.

I used Liquid Glue and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to layer all the flowers and leaves around the sentiment.

I added a couple of the silver rose embellishments to the large flowers (these might be my favorite embellishments EVER!) and some Share What You Love Artisan Pearls and the card front was done!

On the inside, I stamped the small rose image from the Painted Glass set in Tranquil Tide on a Whisper White panel.  Then I used my Clear Wink of Stella as a paintbrush to color the rose in Pool Party and Tranquil Tide.  Finally – cuz I really really love them! – I added another of the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Grapefruit Grove mat and into my Basic Black card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

On the front of my Whisper White Medium Envelope, I added another Painted Glass rose in Tranquil Tide and Pool Party…

…and then added a little more of the beautiful Share What You Love Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Last night you got to see all the goodies in the Share What You Love bundle (the Gotta Have it All) – and I hope this card helps you know that YOU GOTTA HAVE IT ALL!  And – once June rolls around – plan to add the goodies from the Graceful Glass and Nature’s Poem Suites to your stash!  Hope you like!

I’ve added some info below about the Share What You Love early release down below – be sure to check it out, okay?  1 May is just around the corner!

Yesterday was grooming day!

The Man has gotten pretty stoic about it – he only rolls his eyes a little when I ask him to get up on “the spot” (a few beams in the barn so I don’t break my back brushing him!).

We do his feathers…

…and his skirt…

And, of course, the pantaloonies.

These fluffy beauties are no accident, people!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Varied Vases Sneak Peek for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on April 12, 2018 by stampsnlingers

Happy Thursday, y’all – and welcome to another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! It’s sketch week and we’ve got the full complement of hoppers today!  Do be sure to check out all their projects when you’re done here, won’t you?

I decided to play with one of the new stamp sets – actually a bundle! – in the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog.  It’s Mary Fish’s Million Dollar set – called Varied Vases.  It’ll be available to customers on 1 June and will be bundled with the Vases Builder Punch.  To round it all out, I used the beautiful new Nature’s Poem DSP.  Take a look-see:

Our sketch for the hop challenge…

This Photopolymer stamp set and punch are really nice – the images are crisp and very easy to line up, and the sentiments are nicely varied for lots of different occasions!

I started by Fast Fusing a piece of the Nature’s Poem DSP to a Cajun Craze mat for the card front.  Then I made the DSP strip – it’s the other side of the card front design! – matting it on Cajun Craze as well.

I used a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere a length of 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon over the DSP.

With the Leaf Punch, I cut 4 Vellum card stock leaves and adhered them to the card front with Liquid Glue.

For the art/sentiment, I cut a Stitched Shapes circle from Whisper White card stock.  With the line image from the Varied Vases set, I stamped the flower outline in Soft Suede.  Then I added the color – with a fill-in image – in new Grapefruit Grove (coming on 1 June!).  I also used Grapefruit Grove to add the pretty little Varied Vases sentiment.

On a piece of scrap Whisper White, I stamped the vase image in Cajun Craze and punched it out using the Vases Builder Punch.  Then I popped it over the stem of the flower with a couple of Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added more Dimensionals to the back of the circle and used them to wind a few loops of Linen Thread, then I popped it all onto the card front.

A tiny bow of Linen Thread on the vase and a single Pearl Basic Jewel finished off the card front.

On the inside, I stamped a second sentiment from Varied Vases in Grapefruit Grove on a Whisper White panel.  I added the flower image again – this  time stamping the images off twice before stamping the panel.  And then I added one more little Pearl Basic Jewel.

I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Cajun Craze mat and into my Soft Suede card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another of the Soft Suede and Grapefruit Grove Varied Vases flowers on the front.  And I added a Cajun Craze vase…

…and the envelope flap got some more of the Nature’s Poem DSP.

Et Voila!  Folks – Varied Vases is such a wonderful stamp set and when combined with the bundled Vases Builder – I do believe this is going to be a heavy favorite when the new catalog goes live on 1 June!  And, there aren’t enough superlatives for the Nature’s Poem DSP – it is just so gorgeous!  Hope you like – and are busily adding it to your GottaHaveItGottaGetItNow list!! 🙂

Stampin’ Up! Bubble Over With Happiness

Posted on April 11, 2018 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and…HAPPY HAPPY HAAAWWWWMP DAY!

Does anyone know how to really spell HAAAWWWMP Day?  I think I spell it differently every week! 😉

Today I made a quick and fun birthday card with the Bubble Over stamp set and bundled Bottles & Bubbles Framelits.  The addition of some appropriately bubbly paper from the Myths & Magic Specialty DSP brought it all home.  Take a look-see:


I borrowed the layout from this week’s CAS(E) This Sketch challenge.

I started with a panel of Whisper White for the card front and added an angled piece of bubby paper from the Myths & Magic Specialty DSP (retiring with the Occasions catalog) with Liquid Glue.

I wrapped a length of Lemon Lime Twist 3/8″ Mini Striped Ribbon around the seam, using Tear & Tape Adhesive and securing it in the back.  Over that I wound some Whisper White Solid Baker’s Twine three times – also fastening it in the back, this time with Fast Fuse.  Then I Fast Fuse’d the whole thing to a Peekaboo Peach mat.

I stamped the Bubble Over sentiment in Bermuda Bay and added a little Lemon Lime Twist card stock heart that I’d cut with the die from the Bottles & Bubbles Framelits.

The bottle is stamped in Peekaboo Peach (it’s obviously orange soda!) on Whisper White and cut with its matching die.  I also stamped the two bottle caps – in Lemon Lime Twist and Bermuda Bay and cut them out.  They’re each popped onto a Silver Foil “cap” – created with the fun cutting/embossing die in the set – with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

I dry fit the bottle and caps and then stamped the bubbles in Pool Party ink and a few Lemon Lime Twist hearts over where the bottle would be placed.  Then I popped it and the caps on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the bottle label image in Bermuda Bay on Lemon Lime Twist card stock, fussy cut it to avoid a border, and popped it onto the bottle with Dimensionals.

I added round Glitter & Clear Epoxy Shapes over the bubbles and droplet-shapes onto the bottle – and the card front was done!

On the inside, I added Pool Party bubbles, Lemon Lime Twist hearts and round Glitter & Clear Epoxy Shapes to a Whisper White panel.

I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Peekaboo Peach mat and into my Bermuda Bay card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got Bermuda Bay bubbles and Lemon Lime Twist hearts on the front…

…and more Myths & Magic Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Bubble Over – with Happiness!  Fun how the Myths & Magic DSP works so perfectly with an orange soda!!  And love the Bottles & Bubbles Framelits!  This is another set that is carrying over – but won’t offer the bundled 10% savings!  So…you know what you need to do!  Hope you like!

I’ve been trying to get back into the exercise and diet groove after falling so far off the wagon this past weekend that I couldn’t even hear the jingle of the harness!

To that end – I’ve resumed walking to and from the mailbox.  And the barn.  And taking the long way to feed.

Finn – as the designated mom escort/defender accompanies me on these jaunts.

He’s never sure when we might go, so…he maintains a close watch (unless he’s asleep and then…well.  I have to remind him of his duties)

And, since he’s never really sure how long the walks will be – he’s always prepared.

See it?

Here.

Now do you see it?

Yes – it’s his Prime Rib bone.

Just.  In.  Case.

Posted on April 10, 2018 by stampsnlingers

Mornin’, y’all!  It’s Tuesday so…time for another Stamp Ink Paper challenge!

I decided to use a stamp set from the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog – and it’s one that I WON on a Prize Patrol!  It’s called In Every Season – and it’s one that grabbed my eye the moment I saw it as I flipped thru the glorious pages of the catty!

Notice there are 12 flowers?  Perfect for a 12-month calendar. Or a sampler.  Or an inchie card!

I used one of the flowers – and a sentiment from the Special Celebrations stamp set (carrying over!) – plus some ombre sponging to make my card.  Take a look-see:

Good Monday, y’all!  It’s the Monday after OnStage – and…wow!  What a weekend it was!  Lots of surprises and fun give-aways!  Saw lots of demonstrator friends-from-afar!  Totally wonderful – and…whew!  I’m tired!  And already excited for Orlando in November!

If you were able to join me last night for my Facebook Live video, I sure do appreciate you spending some of your weekend with me! If not, but you’d like to take a look, here’s the YouTube link.

One of the nicest Suites in the Occasions catalog is the Truly Tailored suite of products  – they’re just perfect for making masculine cards!  Which is exactly what I did with this card today.  I used the Truly Tailored stamp set for the sentiments and the handsome plaid in the True Gentleman DSP.  Take a look-see:
