Two For Tuesday: Message in a Bottle

August 22, 2017

It's Two For Tuesday (TFT)! I have a couple of cards for you using the fun Message in a Bottle stamp set. This is a new stamp set this year and it's filled with whimsical sea friends, oceanic creatures and tons of punny greetings. All you need now is a bit of creativity and some wind in your hair!

Message in a Bottle - Mermaid

Adhere four 1-3/16 squares (Layering Squares Framelits Dies) to 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock (Perfect Plum, Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry, Soft Sky cardstock)
Wrap Bermuda Bay 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon around panel and tie in a bow.
Adhere to folded 11" x 4-1/4" Soft Sky card base.
On 2-1/8 Whisper White Circle (Layering Circle Framelits Dies), stamp greeting with Soft Sky ink, and mermaid with Basic Gray ink.
Use Blender Pen and Watercolor Pencils to color mermaid - (Rich Razzleberry=tail, Bermuda Bay=hat, shells). Adhere to card with card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Message in a Bottle - Boat

1-3/16" squares are nautical inspired colors = Pool Party, Real Red, Basic Gray & Night of Navy, with Pool Party Baker's Twine
Card base is Basic Gray
Stamp image with Basic Gray ink, and greeting with Night of Navy ink.
Use Watercolor Pencils - Real Red and Basic Gray to color flags

I can't get over how stinkin' cute this stamp set is! Add the fun blocks of color to communicate the theme of your card and you've got a home run! I think you'll see me using this color-block layout again.

Stop by tomorrow for another Message in the Bottle QC card. And be sure to add it to your shopping bag, so you can start playing with it right away!

Enjoy~Dawn O

Monday, 8/21 CASE the Catty (CTC): Remarkable You

August 21, 2017

Stampin' Up! catalogs are a great source of inspiration...why not use them! For this week, we selected a sample from the Stampin' Up! 2017-2018 Annual Catalog on pg 161. I was drawn to the "color block" look of today's sample. Check it out...

For my card I chose a favorite stamp set of mine that I haven't used in awhile...Remarkable You. It's filled with remarkable flowers for remarkable people. These big, bold flowers send a clear message of your thanks and gratitude.

As the "layout" for the card was already provided in the sample, this card came together rather quickly. See how...

Remarkable You Grateful card

Adhere 2" x 4" piece of Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper on folded 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Berry Burst card base.
Lay about a 2" strip of Snail adhesive down DSP. Use about 5" of 1/2" Berry Burst Finely Woven Ribbon and create a "fan fold" ribbon detail on the adhesive (I just did 3 full folds and left the extra ribbon on the right edge that will be covered up.). If needed, add a glue dot between each "fan" to help it stay down.
Stamp flower image (from Remarkable You stamp set) with Archival Basic Black ink on scrap of Shimmery White cardstock. Use Aqua Painter to color flower using Berry Burst & Old Olive inks. Let dry.
Cut out flower using Paper Snips, adhere to 2-1/8" Stitched Shape Framelit Square (Whisper White) with Stampin' Dimensionals. Adhere to card covering over the right edge of the ribbon detail.
On 3" x 5/8" strip of Whisper White, stamp greeting with black ink. Adhere to card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Attach two Basic Rhinestone Jewels.

I'm doing CASE the Catty with my friend, Dawn Thomas. Be sure to check her CASE out too!

If you like the Remarkable You stamp set like I do, be sure to add it to your shopping bag today!
(Note, this stamp is is red rubber and come in wood mount or clear mount.)

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #244: Be Merry Mistletoe

August 16, 2017

It's time for another DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we're having a "Color My World" challenge.

In staying with Holiday Inspiration Week, I naturally selected the Be Merry Designer Series Paper for this week's color combo.

This surprisingly easy card is elevated with the use of embellishments, like the Boxwood Wreaths. See how...

Merry Mistletoe Reindeer Card

Wrap Garden Green 3/8 Stitched Satin Ribbon around 4" x 5-1/2" piece of Be Merry Designer Series Paper.
Stamp reindeer image with Versamark ink on scrap of Basic Black cardstock. Cover with White Stampin' Emboss Powder, tap over excess and melt with Heat tool. When cooled, use a Stampin' Sponge and lightly rub a little Whisper Whisper Craft ink around the image to give it a "chalkboard look".
Die cut with 3-1/4" oval from Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. Adhere to 3-1/2" Cherry Cobbler scallop oval from Layering Oval Framelits Dies. Adhere to panel from step #1 with Stampin' Dimensionals. Slide ribbon/bow into place. Then adhere completed panel to folded 11" x 4-1/4" Basic Black card base.
Attach Cherry Cobbler Enamel Dot (Regals) to nose.
Cut a 1/2" piece from a Boxwood Wreath Embellishments. Shape and adhere with Glue Dots.

Go ahead and cut up the Boxwood Wreath Embellishments - makes them go a long ways!

Use Stampin' Write Regal Markers to ink and stamp inside greeting. Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green.

Add the Boxwood Wreaths Embellishments to your shopping bag while you're shopping the newly update Clearance Rack!

Holiday Inspiration Week: Tiny Treat Box with Many Mittens Framelits Sneak Peek

August 16, 2017

Holiday Inspiration Week continues with a fun Clear Tiny Treat Box, that combines some Annual Catalog products with new products from the 2017 Holiday Catalog, coming September 1st.

Little known fact about me...I love to decorate packages! I like to add handmade tags, ornaments, ribbons and doodads to made my packages look pretty. When I saw the Green Sprigs (144627), I went giddy!!

So, if you're anything like me, you're gonna love Stampin' Up!'s 2017 Holiday Catalog. It's filled with lots of great holiday products for both card making and packaging!

This festive box features the coming soon Smitten Mitten Bundle (with coordinating May Mittens Framelits Dies) - 146070. Take a look...

Be Merry Tiny Treat Box

Assemble and fill Clear Tiny Treat Box
For belly band, wrap 1-3/4" x 9" piece of Be Merry Designer Series Paper around box. Start at bottom and crease at box edges as you wrap around the box. End at bottom and adhere to previous end. Do not adhere to box, so it can slide on and off.
Wrap 22" of Real Red Mini Tinsel Trim (144636 - coming soon!) around box and tie in a bow.
Create mitten tag from 6" x 2-1/2" piece of Whisper White Cardstock. Fold in half and die cut large mitten shape (from coming soon, Many Mittens Framelits Dies 144672), by place "cuff" edge a smidgen past the fold. Die cut another mitten from Be Merry Designer Series Paper and adhere to front of folded tag. Die cut "cuff with texture piece" from Garden Green cardstock. Adhere to mitten. Cut hole in corner of tag with 1/8" Circle Handheld punch. Stamp "to/from" (coming soon Smitten Mittens stamp set) on inside of tag with Garden Green ink.
Insert 14" of Linen Thread through hole in tag and tie into a bow around the Mini Tinsel Trim.
Insert Green Sprig into the tag hole.

This festive Clear Tiny Treat Box came together quickly. It would be great for party favors, co-workers, stocking stuffers, teacher gifts and more! Start planning now to get ahead of the holiday busyness.

Add the Clear Tiny Treat Boxes to your shopping bag while you're shopping the newly update Clearance Rack!

Holiday Inspiration Week: Two For Tuesday with Be Merry

August 15, 2017

We're continuing Holiday Inspiration Week with Two For Tuesday (TFT).

Here are two quick & cute (QC) cards using Stampin ' Up!'s Be Merry Designer Series Paper ...same layout, different holiday! Also, a sneak peek of some new 2017 Holiday Catalog products coming 9/1. Let's take a look...

4-1/4" Square QC Card - Christmas/Love

Adhere 4" square of Be Merry Designer Series Paper to folded 8-1/2" x 4-1/4" card base (Cherry Cobbler/Basic Gray)
Place 3-1/4" square of cardstock (Cherry Cobbler/Basic Gray) all the way into the (coming soon) Everyday Label Punch, center side to side, then punch. Adhere the "negative" piece to center of card.
Stamp images (from coming soon Labels to Love stamp set) on scraps of Whisper White (Cherry Cobbler, Smoky Slate). Color heart with Powder Pink Stampin' Write Marker.
Tie and/or adhere bow (Cherry Cobbler 1/4" Double-Stitched Ribbon/2017-2019 In Color Bitty Bows)
Attach Basic Rhinestone Jewels

Coming September 1st...Labels to Love (144970w or 144967c)! This versatile stamp set covers Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas & Valentines Day. Plus it coordinates with the new Everyday Label Punch (144668) - see below.

The LOVE card uses the Be Merry Designer Series Paper too...not just for Christmas!

TIPS for making 4-1/4" square cards:

If you have a lot of holiday cards to make this year, this style of card can make your Designer Series Paper go farther by getting 9 pieces out of one sheet of 12x12. With 12 sheets in a pack...that's a lot of cards!
If you're worried about mailing square cards, a 4-1/4" square card will fit in our standard envelopes just fine with no extra postage.

Add the Be Merry Designer Series Paper to your shopping bag while you're shopping the Clearance Rack!

Holiday Inspiration Week: Be Merry Designer Series Paper

August 14, 2017

Welcome to Holiday Inspiration Week! This week I'll be sharing Stampin' Up! holiday inspiration from both the current Annual Catalog and the upcoming 2017 Holiday Catalog.

Today I'm starting off with a quick & cute card using the Be Merry Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalog. If you have a lot of holiday cards to make this year, using small strips of Designer Series Paper not only look cute, but can make a pack go a long way!

Be Merry QC Holiday Card

Cut three 4-1/4" strips of Be Merry Designer Series Paper into various heights (1/4", 1/2", 3/4"). Adhere to folded 11" x 4-1/4" Thick Whisper White cardstock.
Below paper strips, stamp "border" image from Merry Merry Mistletoe stamp set with Garden Green ink.
Stamp greeting with Cherry Cobbler on scrap of Whisper White. Die cut with Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies, 2-3/8" Circle. Adhere to 2-1/2" Cherry Cobbler Scallop Circle (Layering Circle Framelits Dies).
Wrap 12" of Cherry Cobbler 1/4" Double Stitched Ribbon back and forth, adhere to backside of greeting, then adhere to card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Adhere Metallic Sequins with Fine Tip Glue Pen

With a design like this one, you can get a lot of holiday cards done in no time at all, AND have paper to spare. Speaking of...there are several patterns in the Be Merry DSP pack that can be used for other occasions as well (think "birthday"). It would be a great one to add to your stash.

Enjoy~Dawn O
