Good morning and welcome to your week! I hope you had a great weekend! We got some things done – not least of which was getting catalogs in the mail. And doing a little rat-killing in my craft room. That’s what we call those pesky little “things to do and fix” – nothing huge, just stuff that needed doing, you know? 🙂
We ALSO had a super fun Amy’s Inkin Krew Team meeting on Sunday! We talked a little business and then three of us presented a project using the Beauty of Friendshipbundle and most of us ALSO used the gorgeous Beauty of the Earth DSP. Interestingly – all THREE of us did a fun fold! 😉 I thought I’d share my project with you today! Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all – welcome to another edition of the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team blog hop! Each month we make projects centered around a theme – and this month our theme is Giving Thanks! We can interpret that any way we want – so…be sure to check and see everyone’s projects – we’ve got a bunch of talented ladies hopping with us this month!
I used two really cool products – well, three if you add in the Beauty of the Earth DSP! The Festive & Bright Bundle – with it’s pretty apple-garland border – and the Thinking Thanks & Peace stamp set. Take a look-see:
Well – happy Friday again! Last weekend was so busy – and FUN! – that it’s nice to say there’s…really nothing on the schedule for THIS weekend! I know there are a lot of you out there in Blog-land that are in the clean-up phase after Ida – so that’s going to be a lot of hard work for a hot minute! Sending positive thoughts and prayers out to you!
If you were able to join me yesterday for my YouTube live, I appreciate you spending part of your day with me! If not, but you’d like to see how to make this card (it’s got some fun techniques in it – including a Double-Loop Bowdemo!) – here’s the link to it on my YouTube channel!
Well – the weekend is upon us again! Hope you’ve got something cool planned. No – literally “cool” – like…to counter the crazy heat!! I’ll be chopping shares today in the Air Conditioning and then…we’re planning to watch Black Widow tonight on our “home theater’. Some people call that…the TV in the living room. With a bag of Skinny Pop!! 😉
So – if you were able to join me yesterday for my YouTube live, I sure appreciate you spending part of your day with me! If not, but you’d like to watch the replay to see how to make this fun fold card, here ’tis!
I made another Twisted Triple Easel card a few weeks back – using the wonderful Wild Cats bundle from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. You can see it right here!
This one uses the same basic structure – the “cake” if you will – but it’s decorated with the amazingly pretty Pretty Pumpkins stamp set, with its bundled Detailed Pumpkins Dies. And…Beauty of the Earth DSP! Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! We’ve got a theme challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table! I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
I got a new stamp set in my pre-order (well, THAT’S the Department of Redundancy Department, right?) that has been sort of burning a hole in my stamp shelf. So when I saw the theme for our challenge – it was a no brainer! I pulled out the brand new – coming on 3 Aug in the Jul – Dec 2021 Mini Catalog! – Welcoming Woods stamp set. And I paired it up with some Beauty of the Earth DSP (which just so happens to be on sale right now with a 15% savings!). Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! We’ve got a color challenge to work with today and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table! I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
I decided that the colors in our challenge were really suited for the gorgeous Beauty of the Earth DSP (this one just so happens to be ON SALE right now – save 15%!!) so I pulled it – and the coordinating Beauty of Friendship bundle out to use on today’s card. Take a look-see:
Happy half-way-thru-the-weekend! Hope it’s going well. Our planting plans were thwarted by rain most of the day on Saturday. And I suspect we’ll be thwarted by eveything-is-soaking-wet-and-muddy today. So…another inside-work day for us, I’m guessing. Bleh. 😉
If you were able to join me yesterday for my Facebook live, I appreciate you spending part of your weekend with me. If not, but you’d like to check it out, here’s the replay on YouTube! 🙂
This card features a sneak peek at the new Beauty of Friendshipstamp set with its bundled Beautiful Trees dies – with the Beauty of the Earth DSP taking center stage! You’ll be able to get all of it starting on 4 May when the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog goes live. Take a look-see:
I started with some of the Beauty of the Earth DSP that I cut for a card front – then I cut a smooth-side circle from the middle using a Layering Circles Die.
I matted the DSP panel on Misty Moonlight and Cinnamon Cider mats using Liquid Glue.
I matted the DSP circle on scallop-edge die cuts – in Misty Moonlight and Cinnamon Cider – from the Layering Circles dies. Then I added it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
The Beautiful Trees dies has two rectangular dies for sentiments. I used the smaller one to cut a wood-grain piece of DSP from the Beauty of the Earth DSP.
I stamped the Beauty of Friendship sentiment in Cajun Craze on a piece of Basic White and cut it with the second rectangle die in the Beautiful Trees dies – then adhered it to the wood rectangle with Liquid Glue.
Now – my trim uses Crumb Cake and White Baker’s Twine from the brand new Baker’s Twine Combo Pack (it has FIVE rolls of twine!!). I cut about 16″ of each – two in Crumb Cake and one in White.
I tied them together in a knot and then braided it. When I got done – I used Glue Dots to adhere the “rope” in a figure-8 loop to the card front.
I added a few double-stacked Stampin’ Dimensionals right by the loops and used them to adhere my sentiment to the card front – and that was it!
On the inside, I added a second sentiment from Beauty of Friendship sentiment in Cajun Craze to a Basic White panel. In the corner, I stamped the tree trunk image in Early Espresso, added the smaller tree top in Cinnamon Cider (this is SUCH a cool image!). Then I used the little splotches image to stamp all over in Cajun Craze and Misty Moonlight.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Misty Moonlight and Cinnamon Cider mat and then into my Cajun Craze card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Beauty of Friendship tree on the front…
…and more of the wood-grain Beauty of the Earth DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! This Beauty of the Earth suite is so gorgeous – with the watercolor-inspired images in the DSP and the wonderful sentiments and trees in the Beauty of Friendship stamp set. And – I haven’t even really gotten busy with the Beautiful Trees dies!
