Cheep Talk Card
I made this card with one of my favorite sets from the latest Stampin’ Up catalog, Cheep Talk. I thought these cute birds were irresistible!
I used Pale Plum, stamped with the Bella Toile Background set. The strips are Regal Rose, Mellow Moss & So Saffron. I also used the Sizzix Top Note die to stamp the main image on, layered in Chocolate Chip. I got my color combo inspiration from the SU color coach. That thing is such a great tool! To add accents, I added flowers punched with my 3 Flower Punch and adhered them with mini glue dots.
This was fun to make and I hope to use this stamp set for many more projects!
I Heart Scrapbooking!
Happy Saturday! Before I go out and about on my weekend, I wanted to share some layouts I just uploaded to ScrapInStyle:
Hope you all have a nice one! Don’t forget to “Spring Forward” tonight!
February Stamp-a-palooza
A few of my local stamping friends and I get together once about every other month to stamp and swap. It’s a lot of fun, low key, and allows quality stamping time! These projects are from February and happened right before Valentine’s day, hence all the Valentine’s Day themed goodies shown.
The first pic is of all of the goodies I brought home with me including swaps and the project we made that night, which was the adorable pop up can with a surprise inside.
The second pic is of the card I made for my swap. I used SEI Twitterpated patterned paper, the Fiskars scallop edge punch, and one of my latest toys, the Quickutz Silhouette to cut out the letters. I also used my kissy kissy lip stamp from Rubber Stampede and the “A Light Heart” set by Stampin’ Up.
Our little Stamp-a-palooza (as we call it) is always so much fun and something I look forward to each time. I appreciate stamping with good friends and being able sharing a such an awesome hobby!
Polka Dot Punches Double Slider
Ok, so one of my New Year’s resolutions was to get into blogging again. As you can see, I’m a little late starting this resolution, but I’m glad to be starting it late than never! I’ve actually accumulated quite a few projects I’ve made, so I’m excited to start sharing my creations in the coming days and weeks!
This card is a double slider card made with the Polka Dot Punches (Sale-a-bration) set by Stampin’ Up. I love this set because it coordinates with 3 other SU punches: the new heart punch, circle scallop punch, and 5 petal punch. For my front panel, I first decided where I wanted my main heart image and stamped it. Then I stamped other images in coordinating ink colors: apricot appeal, pixie pink, temping turquoise, and certainly celery around it.
For the last step, I stamped the heart image in White Craft Ink on Pixie Pink cardstock and embossed it with white embossing powder. I punched out the heart and adhered it with dimensionals over the image I stamped as a placeholder.
This card is definitely more intricate to make, but worth the results!
