2018 Favorite Projects

Hello friends!  I thought it would be fun to review my favorite stamping projects from each month in 2018.  I hope you enjoy them.  Here we go!


January was fun to explore design with our new Brusho powder colors and the Birthday Blooms stamp set.  See the post here.


In February I made dozens of cards with our Sweet Soiree Memories and More card pack.  See here for the post about this project. 


March brought a special order for 4 dozen corporate Thank you cards.  Our Wood Textures designer series paper is stunning for a professional yet nature-based theme.  Here is the March post.


April is one of my most favorite cards all year featuring the "You've Got This" stamp set.  I love the combo of pink, gold embossing, and vellum.  You can see the card and post here.


May was a fun fancy fold to highlight our Coffee suite.  You can see more photos of angles and details in the post here.


 June is a fun alternate design from our "Broadway Star" Paper Pumpkin kit. 


 I decorated a Mini-Pizza box and created 3x3 cards to fill it up.  Such a fun birthday kit to gift to friends. See the full post here.


July is another frilly feminine design using our Petal Promenade designer series paper and the One For All stamp set.  See the post here for this design from July.


August was a fun new technique to use the Lovely Floral texture embossing folder on watercolor paper and then color the image with our Watercolor pencils. This post can be seen here.


September was a fun design exploration with our 2018-2020 In-Colors!  See this post with all 5 cards here.


This Many Blessings card is my favorite October design and it is shared here in the post about designs for my stamp club.


My Waterfront sunset card from November is an easy favorite. I have never made a design with layers upon layers of stamped-off ink.  I was inspired by the Florida sunsets when my host challenged me to design a tropical card.  This design post can be seen here, as well as several other tropical projects.


Star of Light captivated my heart when it was first introduced and I was so happy to design with it again this year.  The gold foil edged cards and envelopes make an elegant foundation for designs.  You can see this December post here.

Well that was a fun journey through my stamping with you during 2018!  I really enjoyed sharing these projects with you.

Tropical Stamping Challenge

 It has been a wonderful dream come true to visit the Florida Gulf coast. I have enjoyed time with amazing friends at the beach and watching beautiful sunsets.


Our host challenged us to ponder these inspiring products for a tropical project.

Once we were all settled in, we got busy to create a tropical design to swap with each other.  Here are Susan and Cathy working on their creations.


 MaryKate and Cathy cutting and stamping.


Here are the final designs, first is my card.  Isn't the AMI fun for Anna Maria Island?  My card will be a sweet memento of our time together.


Cathy made a photo page for us.  We can add photos and journaling to it in our 6x8 Memories and More album.


Susan's design has beautiful layers and shapes that reflected the lush plants all around us on our beach adventures.


MaryKate made several projects.  First is a beachy treat holder.


Her luminary made a soothing centerpiece for the patio table.


The luminary holds beautiful shells and an LED tea light.


This is her card with a serene sunset and crane.


Here are my Tropical swaps all ready to share with my friends.


The interior sentiment is stamped in Granny Apple Green and  die cut with layering ovals.


Here is my grid paper with many Stampin' Up! colors stamped off before stamping on my card stock.


 Here is my trick to attach the Linen Thread in a starburst pattern. I attached a small stripe of SNAIL in the center of the DSP and pressed the Linen Thread into the adhesive.


Then I applied a stripe of SNAIL on the back side edge and pressed each Linen Thread into place in the adhesive.  Repeat for the opposite side.


Now you can see the effect of the Linen Thread in a starburst pattern.  Then I used Dimensional to attach the ovals over the top of the Linen Thread.


I used all of these Stampin' Up! colors in my sunset scene.  The layers in the sunset are stamped off once before stamping on the card stock.  I used So Saffron to lightly stamp over all the colors to add a soft glow.


Starting at the water and working up these are the colors:
Ocean: Pool Party
Beach: Sahara Sand
Tree Trunks: Soft Suede
Palm Leaves: Granny Apple Green
Sun: Mango Melody
Sunset Layers: Blushing Bride, Mango Melody, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana.
So Saffron overlays the entire image, then I die cut with the Layering Ovals framelits.

I hope you enjoyed the tropical challenge projects we designed.  It was fun to stamp together and make memories during our visit.
