Christmas Stamp A Stack

This was my first Stamp-a-stack class.  There were 4 designs and each person made 5 of each card. It was time consuming to prepare for, however, everyone worked hard to finish and loved the cards!  As I am still trying to increase my own supply of stamps, dies, paper, and ink, my cards have some Stampin' Up prouducts and others that I have collected along my card making journey. If you can't make the exact card I hope it may give you some ideas to incorporate your stamps.

This was my Christmas Card.  It was very time consuming to make but so beautiful

I used Whisper White and Night of Navy paper and ink. 

The Hearts Come Home stamp set and Hometown Greetings dies.

Fall Card Classes

Wow how time flies! I knew I hadn't updated my blog in a while, but I am really behind!  Life got busy in the fall with company, softball, and card classes!  So with a little time on my hands I will show you what my card classes were busy doing this past season.

A fall card that could be for a birthday or another special occasion.



Birthday Cards



All occasion and sympathy cards

Halloween! 

The top pumpkin card was made with 3 ovals cut from the oval die set.  One was double cut to make the opening for the haunted house stamp. The curly vines were cut from the Stitched Stars die set.

The bottom card was made from the October Paper Pumpkin Kit.  It was an alternate card using the treat box pieces.

Thanksgiving!

I loved the new Stamp and die set, Gather Together and Gathered Leaves.  I used the matching DSP paper which cooridnated such lovely fall colors. 

                          

So Many Stars, So Many Possibilities!

Hello Stampers!

I would like to share more about the stamp set used to make this card.  It has so many possibilities of different ways to use some or all of the stamps and dies.

So Many Stars Stamps & Stitched Stars Die Set

Here is a close up of the stamps and dies

The die cuts are delicate as are the stamps.  They can be used alone or together, creating a different look and designs every time. The Stitched Stars are fantastic! I can already see how they can be used year round on many types of cards.  They also can be layered to give a stitched frame.

This is one stamp set I know I will be using alot!

Ready, Set, Here We Go!

Hello Stampers,

For my first post I am just going to share some of the cards I have made for my recent card classes and card swaps. As I am a new (March, 2019) Stampin' Up! demonstrator, and am slowly increasing my products, some of my stamps are not in the current catalogs, but ones I have previously purchased.  Even if you don't have the exact stamp set I hope they give you some inspiration as you create your cards!

Beautiful Bouquet Stamps & Bouquet Bunches Dies

and  Grown with Love Stamps & Garden Grown Dies

This thank you card was a combination of Beautiful Bouquet and Grown with Love. I used so Saffron, Peek-a-boo Peach, Calypso Coral and Granny Apple Green.

Daisy Delight Stamps & Daisy Punch

These two cards were both done with Daisy Delight.

The pink one was made with Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green. The yellow one was So Saffron, and Wild Wasabi.

Lily Pad Lake Stamps & Lakeside Dies

These two cards were both done Lily Pad Lake. The top card was for a card swap.  I used water color paper to do the back ground.  So Saffron, Peek-a-Boo Peach, Calypso Coral, and Dapper Denim and Lemon Lime Twist. 

The cardstock was Seaside Spray and Calypso Coral.

 I got the idea for the card below from a card designed by Laura Malanowski that she created for our card swap in June when the new annual catalog came out.

I used Tempting Turquoise paper and ink.  

So Many Stars Stamps & Stitched Stars Die Set

This card was made for our recent card swap.  These stamps and dies are from the new Holiday Catalog.  I used Delicata Golden Glitz ink also purchased from the new holiday catalog. I use vanilla paper and a gold matte paper. This stamp set and dies have many possibilities!

This was my first attempt, on Night of Navy, the gold is pretty on dark paper too.

Home to Roost

This card was made with Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Real Red paper and ink. For the wheat background I stamped once with a freshly inked stamp, moved it a little and stamped again to get the lighter shades, giving it some depth.
