Paper Pumpkin Pop Up Blog Hop - Be Mine Valentine



Hello stampers -  surprise!!!  Today we are holding a Paper Pumpkin Pop-up Blog Hop to feature alternate designs for the Be Mine Valentine kit.  This kit is adorable and coordinates with the Animal Expedition suite in our annual catalog.

I decided I wanted a card.  I used the stamps to create pattern on my Crumb Cake background layer.  Then I cut the pillow boxes into rectangles, to use them as designer series paper.


The heart stamps and enamel hearts are such a sweet coordinating touch.

These are the colors that coordinate in this kit.  You can stamp with any of these to complement the kit elements and add a fresh twist.


Here are the intended pillow box projects made up as the kit was designed.  Aren't the colors vibrant and extra-ordinary?!?


The kangaroo is so fun. I loved the suggestion to cut along her pouch opening.


It was a whimsical touch to see the heart peeking out from kanga's pouch.  I am really looking forward to using these pillow boxes to gift as Random Acts of Kindness during Valentine's week.  I'm confident that the adorable decoration factor will bring smiles and then the sweet treat inside will add another smile.  Be sure to order your refill kit so you will have plenty to share!

Ink.Stamp.Share Blog Hop - Lovely Lattice



Hello crafty friends!  Welcome to our monthly Ink.Stamp.Share. Blog Hop as we share our Occasions projects with you.  Except I got excited and made a Sale-a-bration based project.

My card features the Lovely Lattice stamp set and the spectacular Rectangle Stitched framelits dies (which are in the Occasions catalog).  I used our Copper Embossing Powder to heat emboss the image onto the Very Vanilla card stock.


Here is a close-up to see the Stitched rectangle details on the card front layer.  The Rectangle Stitched Framelits are unique that they create the embossed stitched effect on the inner and outer edges of the rectangle it cuts.  This creates double versatility from each die - such a smart and efficient design by Stampin' Up!


I know you will love using these products in your stamping studio.  Be sure to order your favorite new products and start using them in your stamping projects!

Hello friends, I wanted to get this out to you immediately so you can plan accordingly.

Be sure to order your favorite items now, so that you do not miss out.  Here are two more products that are running low and will soon be sold out. The good news is that they will both be in the new 2019-2020 Annual catalog, so they will be back in inventory eventually.  Here is the update from Stampin' Up!

"Sales for the following product have exceeded our forecast and are continuing strong, resulting in a significant number of backorders. Due to Chinese New Year and port congestion delays, estimated arrival is mid-March.

This product will remain available until Friday, January 25 at 10:00 AM (MT); it will then be placed in not-orderable status.

OnStage Valentine Swap - Accented Blooms

Valentine Team Swap - Accented Blooms


Back in November at Onstage, my team had a group swap of Valentine designs with Annual catalog products.  I enjoyed this challenge and creating my design.  I used Powder Pink card stock with the "Accented Blooms," and "P.S. You’re the Best" stamp sets. 



Crumb Cake Stampin’ Pad was used to stamp the sentiment and floral image. And Versamark was used for the heart from "P.S. You're the Best" that I stamped all over the background.



 I punched out the sentiment with the Tailored Tag punch.  The Pretty label punch was used to punch the vellum label layer. These are adhered together, and the Rose thread was looped and attached to the vellum.  


Adhere a piece of vellum to the top of the Powder Pink card stock layer.  Then I adhered one end of the ribbon to the back of that layer. There are two hearts die cut from our "Sunshine Wishes" thinlits, one is vellum and one is Powder Pink.  The ribbon is strung through the hearts so that they hang from the ribbon. The loose ribbon end is adhered on the back side of the Powder Pink card stock.



Wink of Stella is painted onto all of the flowers.  Then I assembled my card: Powder Pink layer is adhered to the Crumb Cake card base, the sentiment tags are then attached onto the card front with dimensionals.


I hope you have enjoyed learning about this alternative idea for a Valentine card design.  We have lots of beautiful stamps, embellishments, and designer series paper to help you with your Valentine projects.  I would love to help you!

Kre8tors Blog Hop - Tea Together



Hello and welcome to the January Kre8tors Blog Hop!  This month's theme is Occasions/Sale-A-Bration Tic Tac Toe Challenge. Each participant must complete a line containing three squares on our Tic Tac Toe Challenge graphic.


I love a Tic Tac Toe challenge - it is so fun to pick which combo to use for my design.  My design started with the top left corner to go diagonally across the board: Sequins, Punch, Ribbon using the Tea Together stamp set and Tea Time framelits.  Our silver edged cards and envelopes are so elegant and match the silver mini sequins in my design.  I stamped a tea cup on the envelope flap.


The black and white Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper was the starting point for my tea pot.  I added a punched out Balmy Blue butterfly from a different sheet of the DSP.  It is placed on the tea pot.  The other butterflies are colored with a Stampin' Blends dark Balmy Blue marker and embellished with sequins.


I layered a strand of the silver mini sequins onto the Balmy Blue organdy ribbon.  The sentiment circles are adhered with dimensionals over the ribbon.  I placed half a doily as a "platter" beneath the tea pot. 


I die cut a tea pot in Balmy Blue card stock and adhered it under the butterfly DSP tea pot.  This created a nice shadow of Balmy Blue peeking out from under the black butterfly tea pot.  

I hope you will join our fun and use the Tic Tac Toe challenge to make a design at home.  

Now please use the Next button below to hop over to see Tricia's design for our challenge.  The full list of participants is below the next button.
