Simple Fall Fest Card

I like to make simple cards in my classes....something anyone can duplicate and make dozens of. This is one of those cards...

I used the Fall Fest stamp set and coordinating Fun Fall Framelits. The background is Hardwood stamped onto Soft Suede. I layered up some Color Me Autumn Washi Tape then added a banner with a greeting. Finished it off with a Gold Button and some Linen Thread.

Super easy!

Happy Stamping,

By The Tide Blendabilities

Color Challenge time at Hand Stamped Sentiments. This Saturday I'm doing a little demo table for a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator meeting. I'm showing how to use Blendabilities. Fun!

I thought I'd make my card this week for HSS to use as a display for that event too.

I used the Night of Navy color pack of Blendabilities on the fish. I added some little banners and 2 strips of Hello Honey Ribbon. I embossed the background with the large polka embossing folder and done! Easy masculine card!

Join us this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments!

Eggplant and Gold

It's time to be inspired by Stampin' Celebration! Join us this week!!

I made this simple card with a paper flower using scallop circle punches. Spritz the scallop circle punched paper and crumble up. Uncrumble them and lay out to dry. Once dry layer them and adhere them together. Fluff up and there you go!

Here are the GORGEOUS inspiration photos....

Merry Seasonally Scattered

This was a card I made for the Stampin' Up! Convention Display Board. Although it didn't make it on the actual board I just wanted to share it with you. :)

Lots of silver sparkle and white embossed stamp image on Bermuda Bay cardstock.The card front is mounted on Silver Foil Paper with Silver flowers and some rhinestones. I used the negative image to frame the stamped greeting. The cut out is a shape from the Apothecary Accents Framelits.

Happy Project Life Kinda Eclectic Card

The Project Life by SU! cards can be used in Memory Keeping, but really there is so much more you can make with them! This card showcases one of the 4"x6" cards from the Everyday Adventure PL Kit. The "Happy is one side of the card and I cut off part of it. The striped banner in the stack of the banners is the piece I cut off, just the other side of the PL card. I stamped the sunburst from the Kinda Eclectic set behind the greeting. Added some silver foil paper and star sticker from the Everyday Adventures accessories pack. There you have it!

Happy Stamping,

Kinda Eclectic, Kinda Simple

Who doesn't like an easy card?! I LOVE this card, the colors, the use of stamps and the ease of it. The most difficult part was "fussy cutting" out the leaves and deciding where to place the rhinestones. Other than that...this is a great card to make over and over. This set again....awesomeness!!

This card didn't make it on the display board, but there were so many similar cards up there, I felt honored to "be like" my peers....or should I say the SU! rockstar artists!! Please make sure you visit their blogs. They are listed below....

Seasonally Scattered Scrapbook Page

I wanted to use this particular picture for my scrapbook page, so I matched the colors to it. I used Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey, Very Vanilla and accents with Gold Foil paper. This page measures 8"x8".

I cut out 3 of each sized hearts from the Hearts Framelits. I folded them in half, and then adhered them together. Then I fanned them out to create a 3D look. The stamp set is called Seasonally Scattered.

Happy Stamping,

Kinda Eclectic Notepad

I love making gifts, especially practical ones. Who can't use a cute notepad/pen set?!? I made this little set for the Display Boards at this years Stampin' Up! Convention. The stamp set is called Kinda Eclectic.

Here is how I made it:

1. Measure your notepad. Mine was 4"x6"....a scratch pad from Staples.

2. Cut cardstock 6"x 10"

3. Score cardstock at 4", 4-1/4", 9"

4. Crease the first 2 score lines (this is where your notepad will fit into).

5. Fold over and glue down the flap at the 9" score mark.

6. Cut a 3/4"x 3" strip of cardstock and curl it to wrap around the pen. Make sure it's not too tight so the pen will easily pass through the hole.

7. Glue the strip to leave a hole for the pen then glue that to the back of the notepad.

8. Glue the notepad into the little holder.

9. Decorate up the front of the notepad holder. Cuteness has arrived!!

**I use Tombo Mono Liquid Glue**

The DSP pictured above is called Lullaby. Simple project that you can make dozens of...makes a great gift. SO great that I made some for my roommates at Convention.

Here they are... I used the same stamp set and no DSP. I stamped a little more, too. I LOVE them!! I did fussy cut the leaved out. Kind of relaxing, if you are in the right mood.

Here is a photo of me and my AWESOME roomies....okay, we didn't all share a room, but we are SU! BFF's!!!

L ro R: Jane Lee, Stacie Jensen (no we're not related, but we should be),

Erin Gonzales, Erica Cerwin and Me....the luckiest girl to know these ladies!!

Seasonally Scattered Thanks

Sometimes you see a stamp set and think....what in the world will I make with that? Well, that is this set, Simply Scattered. But after playing with it, I found myself having a little bit of fun!

I love making SIMPLE cards....stuff you can do in a class. This card is no exception.

I took markers (tempting Turquoise, Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive)...colored them directly on to the stamp, huffed on it a bit and stamped it onto white cardstock.

I added it to a layer of Melon Mambo and then a Whisper White card. Topped it off with some rhinestones, and that's it! Easy, simple, clean and fun!

Rainbow Amazing Birthday

When I saw this stamp set for the first time, my eyes were drawn to this particular stamp in the Amazing Birthday stamp set. I immediately thought, rainbow! Then I got my box of goodies from SU! and the Sweet Taffy DSP was in there. Ah ha! Bright rainbow colors! So, I painted markers on the stamp and put it all together with the DSP background. Cute, colorful, EASY and fun!

Ingredients:

Stamps: Amazing Birthday

Colors: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo

Accessories: Pumpkin Pie chevron ribbon, Melon Mambo taffeta ribbon, rhinestones, Chevron Border punch (I cut it down a bit), Apothecary Accents framelit.

This is a GREAT card to make in a class. It's so easy, but it showcases a bunch of different products.

Awesome Card Sketch

Bright colors are so popular right now. Nothing looks cooler and more like summer than Tempting Turquoise and Pumpkin Pie. I got to create this sketch and I think it has a lot of possibilities....I decided to go simple with it.

Get on over to Hand Stamped Sentiments and play along. You will be inspired by some cool DT projects too!

The new In Colors are really growing on me!! I got to play with them a lot over the past couple months. I was selected to be a Display Stamper and I got to use a bunch of new FABULOUS products. I am SO EXCITED to show them to you!!

This card is made for the color challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments. They are Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon and Tangelo Twist. I used the new set called Work of Art. I painted the chevrons on the stamp with the markers and stamped it once, re-inked, then stamped a second row. Then using Early Espresso I stamped the greetings.
