Feb 3, 2014 | Big Shot, Birthday, Cards, Ronald McDonald House Charities |
The Tag It stamp set is the annual Ronald McDonald House Charity stamp set from Stampin’ Up! Part of the sales from each set go to Ronald McDonald House. We have a group that goes to our local house and stamps with the guests that are staying there. I will be going tonight with my friend Leishman.
I thought I would share this cute card that I had at my Card Maker’s class this week that uses the Tag It stamp set.
This one is a birthday card that I actually “recycled” from parts for a Christmas card – you can see it HERE on my FB page. Hopefully that link works :).
Here are the supplies that I used:
- Crumb Cake card base
- Season of Style Designer Paper Stack (from the Holiday catalog)
- Cherry Cobbler card stock & Scallop Edge Border Punch
- Silver Glitter Paper
- Cherry Cobbler Baker’s Twine
- Tag It stamp set
- Whisper White card stock
- Stampin’ Write Markers – Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Baked Brown Sugar
- Chalk Talk Framelits (they coordinate with the stamp set!)
I used the Stampin’ Write Markers to color the stamp image so that I could make it multiple colors. Do all of the coloring, then huff on the stamp and stamp it on your card stock
I’ll try to take some pictures tonight when we go to the Ronald McDonald house so I can post them to my blog.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Jan 31, 2014 | Cards, sympathy, Watercoloring |
Are you ready for Spring? I am!
In a normal winter I think we have a handful of days that we get below freezing, let alone in the teens or lower. It seems like this winter that has been the norm. What is up with this weather? I’m afraid all my plants are going to be frozen and dead I guess I’ll find out in a few months. I did notice the Bluebirds are starting to house hunt. They have been going in and out of the bird houses trying to choose the one they want this year. Normally they always take the same one but we shall see what they decide on this year. I’d like to put a little sign on each – Welcome Blue Birds, Welcome Chick-a-dees, Welcome Titmouse – and then they would know which house is theirs – but I don’t think they would care.
Anyway this little card idea that I found on Pinterest (by Claire Daly) has a beautiful bird image on it from the Stampin’ Up! Hostess set – Simply Sketched. It’s a set you may have missed seeing in the catalog – since the hostess sets are now in the very back I think they aren’t noticed quite so much. I know I keep forgetting I have it.
Here is what I used on mine:
- Soft Suede card base
- StazOn Jet Black ink, Soft Suede & Pool Party Classic ink for watercoloring
- Ovals Collection Framelits
- Large Oval punch
- Quatrefancy Specialty Designer Paper (the Pool Party strip), Modern Medley Deisgner paper (the music strip), Neutrals Collection Designer Paper Stack (the Soft Suede strip)
- Naturals White card stock – what the bird image is stamped on
There are three greetings in the stamp set – I chose to use the sympathy one, but there is also a birthday and a thanks. It makes this a very versatile set.
It’s going to be a good one to use with the new Blendabilities Markers that will be coming out some time this quarter from Stampin’ Up! They are our new alcohol based marker sets. There will be 12 colors ( I think to begin with so I believe more will be added later) coming in sets of 3 markers – each set has a Dark, Medium and Light version of the color. If you click on the photo below you should be able to read the colors on the larger version.
There will also be a color lifter and skin tone colors. These are in production here in the US and will be available sometime this quarter. I’ll let you know when Stampin’ Up! gives us more information.
Thanks for stopping by today.
Jan 30, 2014 | Cards, Occasions Catalog 2014 |
We learned about some trends occurring in the crafting world right now when we were at Leadership. This one is gold. Yep, apparently Gold is back in and I know I have been seeing it everywhere. I’m waiting on my order for some of the new Gold items from the Occasions Catalog – right now my order is delayed due to our Atlanta weather – it should have been here on Wed. – no update yet on the delivery – hopefully it will come on Friday so I can have it for the weekend. But in the meantime I did create this card in honor of the Gold trend. This one is based on a swap I received from Natalie Travis – I made minor changes.
This card features the Happy Congratulations stamp set from the Stampin’ Up! Occasions catalog. Here is what I used on it:
- Happy Congratulations, Gorgeous Grunge stamp sets
- Early Espresso card base
- Cherry Cobbler Co-ordinations card stock
- Gold card stock
- Early Espresso Cherry Cobbler classic ink
- Gold Encore Ink
- Gold Baker’s Twine
- 3/4″ circle punch
We still have snow and ice. Although the sun was out today and the temps got above freezing briefly. Schools were closed today and will be again tomorrow. It seems Ryan has hardly been in school this month. I think we will all be ready to get back to a regular schedule on Monday.
