Just For Jamie

I'm getting ready to head to So Cal for Jamie's 4th Birthday!!!  Hard to believe.....Here's the card I made for him.  He loves dogs, so this set seemed to work.

The Long Time No See set not only has a llama, but a cute, wiener dog (I've got a beagle, so this is close).

The DSP is retired, but any multi-color paper works.  Something easy and simple to make!

Long Time No See Card

It's Friday and I'm in the process of getting ready to have a display table at the Desert Quilters Show tomorrow here in Henderson.  But I wanted to take a moment and share another card we made this week.  

The Longtime No See Set can be used for lots of different occasions, but I really like how it was used as a Christmas card.  The Llama is just so cute--so is the wiener dog!  Need for Tweed DSP adds just the right background.  Since I never get my paper quite straight, I like to put it at an angle.  I hope you find as much fun with this set as I did.  Have a great weekend--Susie

Everyday Arches + Some Changes

Some changes are coming to Stampin' Up!  They have decided to discontinue Stampin' Write Markers. Coloring directly onto "cling/rubber" stamps is less used these days.  Stampin' Blends are more popular. They've moved to Last Chance Products and are available while supplies last.

They also are transitioning away from "cling/rubber" stamps and are updating their packaging for stamps and dies to a sleeker, slimmer packaging that will make it easier to save space.  Stamps/dies will now come in the same size packaging, making easier to store bundles together. 

 

Now---to the Everyday Arches card!  The ladies loved this card in their class this week.  It's an Online Exclusive from several months ago that I overlooked.  And this card is actually my creation (with a bit of help from Pinterest).  What I love most about it are the "arch" dies.  They go big to small and there are 10 sizes!  So many possibilities.....And the DSP provides all the color combinations.  I never would of thought of putting a strip of Old Olive from the DSP at the bottom!

Christmas Already--Jolly Holly Card

Summer may not be over, but it is time to begin thinking about Christmas and cards.  The Jolly Holly Bundle was released with the July Online Exclusives (I find I love the bi-monthly release of new products more and more).

The Hybrid Embossing Folder can be used lots of ways--
  • use only the folder to get the texture on your cardstock
  • use with the large die inside embossing folder to texture and to get partial die cutting of the holly
  • use the dies alone and get lots of die cut holly
After gluing the embossed cardstock (edges only) onto your cardstock, gently raise the holly leaves up from the cardstock; the "joy" fits in the center--hardest thing in making the card is to get the "joy" straight; color and die cut some holly to adhere to the card front; add a few rhinestones (you can color them red with Stampin' Blends) and your card is complete.  Thanks to Jennifer Sunseri for the great idea and video!!

Inspiring Imperfections

Happy Monday---the heat ~110 degrees continues here in the desert!  Hoping to get into the 90's by the end of the week. 😅 Don't forget products with the new In Colors are 15% off through the end of the month.

Since it's too hot to even go the pool, it's a perfect time to stamp--isn't it always??  The Kintsugi Inspirations Suite in the 2025-26 Annual Catalog is absolutely beautiful--especially the DSP!  It has two sheets that contain different colors of vases, bowls, and then the flowers.  Easy to use the dies to cut out and make a variety of colors with the same layout.  I did use Joined Together embossing folder on the card base and used Textured Notes rectangles under the vases.  Something out of my wheel house, but was well-received by the ladies last week.  :)

Artistic Leaves + In Color Sale

15% Off - See ALL the Products HERE
Since we're still in Summer, I wasn't ready yet to do a card in Fall colors, but I really like the Artistic Leaves stamp set that came out in the July Online Exclusives.  Create with Stamping Friends solved my dilemma.  This beautiful card uses the leaves set, but does them in bright, happy colors.  The card is done by stamping the two different leaves on top of each other in different colors.  Soft Waves Embossing Folder adds a gentleness to the card.  Enjoy making this one.  I'm sure I'll be using it again with Fall colors when the leaves begin to change.
