Tuesday's Tip at Ten-Triple Tip

 

Tuesday's Tip at Ten with a Triple Tip from Miss Monday's card. 

1. Use Smoky Slate light blend to outline the bottom half of the butterflies to create depth to your image.

2. Use 1 inch by 2 inch strips of the adhesive backed sheets for the Happy Birthday die cut for easy gluing.  (I got the paper from the scraps when I cut the Basic White as well)

3. Die cut the stitched rectangle from the center of the Basic Black Matte. This helps save paper and no body will ever know you were the wiser.

Today's Miss Monday's cards were inspired by the talented Tami White! I made these for a swap that required me to use at least 2 of the 5 colors for the card. So I knew I wanted something I could color with my blends and was able to use 3 of the 5 colors.

Tuesday's Tip at Ten-TOP 5 Cards to Travel With

 

Have you ever traveled somewhere and wish you had a card to give to someone while you are there? That happens to me all of the time and sometimes I pack prepared and other times I don't. So I've created these Top 5 Cards I highly recommend you pack before you travel!

5. Thank You

While traveling you may be visiting people and staying in their homes. How wonderful would it be if you left them a thank you card to find once you were gone! Also, when traveling you are usually eating out more then usual. I know the hard working waitress (that you will never see again) thank you card will go a long way and you can express how grateful you are for A) not cooking and B) not doing the dishes! 

4. Birthday

A Birthday is bound to happen while you are away. It could someone you know (family member) or someone you just met! Either way, a Birthday card is a must to bring while traveling. I had 4 people that had or will have Birthdays this month at the family reunion I just attended. I could have saved a stamp and hand delivered them. 

3. Thinking of You

When traveling you usually visit family or friends. Because you are near, you find yourself talking more and may discover some hardships they are going through right now. A thinking of you card will mean more than you will ever know. You don't have to say even much in it, because with this one, the thought really does count. 

2. Holiday

Before you head out, think what Holidays may occur while you are away. For example, I was gone over Father's Day and packed 3 Father's Day cards to give to the Fathers in my family that would be there too! One family member commented "that they wish they would have thought of that." So look at the calendar and pack for the nearest Holiday. 

1. Blank

Bring a blank or card two! No words on it, just pretty stamped images. Have this be your wild card and you can use it for ANYTHING. Some examples would be for someone who just had a baby, a wedding, or even hand write congrats in the inside for something wonderful that happened to someone (graduation, new job, etc.). You can't go wrong with a blank (no words) card. But just be really thoughtful with what you write inside. 

Safe Travels and...

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!

Fun Fold Friday- Turtle Friends Easel Card

Throwback Thursday-Playful Pets Paper

 

Throwback Thursday with the Playful Pets DSP that just retired in end of May! Our family dog, Lily, has had some health issues (enlarged heart and fluid in her lungs) recently right before we were going to leave for our Family Reunion at Lake Powell. We didn't want to board her and didn't think it was wise for her to come (too much stress on her healing body) and so we took her to some friends house where she could be watched while we were away. They took such good care of her and needless to say, we were super grateful! So, quickly I whipped up this Playful Pets DSP card! It literally took me under 5 minutes to make. No Pinterest inspiration needed this time. It is a very basic layout. DSP with a matte. Punched hearts in DSP and in cardstock and a very simple bow. This layout would be great with lots of different Stampin' UP! DSP's and there was NO STAMPING done to make this card. 

Sometimes simple is best! 

Lily Dog doing well and visiting Home Depot.

Tuesday's Tip at Ten-What do pack in your Stampin' Travel Bag

 

Tis the season for lots of traveling! The Summer is here and people are traveling more! I am traveling this week and was getting ready to pack my Stampin' travel bag. Because you know I can't not stamp for 6 days! Below are some items that I highly suggest you pack.

Kits/Paper Pumpkin 

First you will need something to work on. Kits that are precut and are all inclusive are perfect and usually don't take up much space (just a little box). It is a great time to dust off those unfinished kits or try one of the new online ones. 

Paper Pumpkin $22

Online Kits $12-$19

https://www.stampinup.com/categories/shop-products/other-products/kits-collection?demoid=2130375

Mini Bag

Everyone should include a mini bag of supplies or must have items. Those would include (but not limited to)...

Paper Snips

Adhesives (glue dots, liquid glue, dimensionals, seal, etc.)

Ink (color of choice)

wipes

clear block(s)

If you include these items you are sure to have hours of fun while you are out traveling this year! I have forgotten a clear block before and had to get really creative (bottom of a glass cup)! 

What would you included in your to Go Craft Bag?

Miss Monday- Stellar Birthday & To The Moon

 

Today's Miss Monday features two new stamp sets with a "spacey" feel to them! Stellar Birthday and To The Moon. My husband is switching over to the Space Force this week and so I knew I needed both of this space themed sets. I made this little girl Birthday card mostly fun looking with the Stellar Birthday but check out that giant moon! That is from the To The Moon stamp set and just adds so much to this card! Scroll down to see the slight differences between the two cards and to get all the measurements and steps on how to create this card in your craft room. 

The Stella Birthday stamp set is the "star" of this card and this is only some of the great images from this set. See the whole stamp set over at my online store by clicking below. 

https://www.stampinup.com/products/stellar-birthday-cling-stamp-set?demoid=2130375

I used my Stampin' Blends to color in our cute space girl. 

https://www.stampinup.com/categories/shop-products/featured-products/ink-coloring/markers-more/alcohol-markers?demoid=2130375

This is also a little Space Dude that you could color and attach to your cards. The big difference to my girls today is their hair color and space belt. 

I used the planets stamp to create the fun background and used my diagonal/triangle method to make it look random. I started at the top left and stamped down at a diagonal. Then based off of those first images I stamped I would make triangles with them and make sure no "planets" align. 

For the moon I tried two different things. I used Basic Gray for both cards but I stamped one on Basic White and one on Smoky Slate. Then the Basic White Moon (with the brown hair girl) I popped up with dimensionals. Which one do you like better? The brunette or blonde?

Royals Team Kit-All For Baby

 

I am just loving this All For Baby stamp set by Stampin' UP! I've been out of the "baby card" making business for a little. Not many of my friends are having kids now a days (I am getting old). But now nieces and nephew are having babies (crazy right)!!! I made these for my Royals Hearts Stampers team kit class and there is a video at the bottom you can watch to learn how. Mind you, I used some of the retired In Colors because the soon to be retiring Hydrangea Hill DSP had the best "baby colors". But you could substitute the DSP and colors for whatever shades of pink and blues you have.
