Wonderful Wednesday- Paper Pumpkin Pick of the Crop Bonus Card

 



It is Wonderful Wednesday and the last one for June! If you order today, I will send you the Pebbles Enamel Shapes to help your Wednesday a little more Wonderful!!! Just order with the Hostess Code
ETDCBADQ



Today's Wonderful Wednesday creation comes from the Paper Pumpkin Pick of the Crop kit stamp set! I always like to find ways to use the stamp set once all of the supplies from the kit is gone. If you would like to see what came in the original kit, click here to visit that blog post. 


I found a fun way to make these strawberries with just a little extra fussy cutting. 


For the inside of the card I used the masking technique and my Stampin' Blends to come them in. 



I used the Scalloped Contour Dies to create this layer look and the Gingham embossing folder for some added texture. 


To make the strawberry with 2 colors is quite easy with just a little help of your Paper Snips. Just like a strawberry starts out green/white, so does the base of our strawberry. Then stamped in the Sweet Sorbet is the strawberry center with the stems cut off. Glue them together and you have a pretty sweet two toned strawberry! 

Supplies
Pick of the Crop Stamp Set
Scalloped Contour Dies
Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
White Embossing Powder
Heat Tool
Paper- Garden Green, Sweet Sorbet, Basic White
Ink- Veramark, Memento Ink, Sweet Sorbet, Evening Evergreen
Stampin' Blends- Sweet Sorbet, Soft Succulent or Granny Apple Green
Dimensionals

Measurements
Sweet Sorbet Cardbase: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored @ 4 1/4
Garden Green: 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Basic White: 4 x 5 1/4
5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Scraps of Garden Green and Sweet Sorbet for strawberries

Steps
  1. Measure, score and cut your paper.
  2. Die cut your Scalloped Contour layers. Die cut from the center of the Garden Green the smallest scallop rectangle.
  3. Heat emboss with white onto the smallest scallop rectangle your favorite saying that fits. I used the "Love You a whole bunch". 
  4. Stamp in Evening Evergreen onto the Garden Green scrap and stamp in Sweet Sorbet onto the Sweet Sorbet the strawberry. Fuss cut them both out but remove the stems from the Sweet Sorbet. Do this 3 times. 
  5. Emboss with the Gingham Folder onto the Basic White. 
  6. Glue your layers to the cardbase front. Use dimensionals to attach the label and then add the strawberries to be slightly behind the label. 
  7. For the inside, stamp one strawberry onto a post it note or masking tape and fussy cut it out. Stamp in Memento Ink one strawberry into the corner of the Scallop Rectangle. Cover it with the mask and stamp next it to make the strawberries look like they are over lapping. Color the strawberries with your Stampin' Blends and glue the scalloped rectangle into your card.

Tuesday's Tip at Ten- Stamping on Canvas

 


Did you know you can use Stampin' UP! Inks to stamp onto canvas material???
It is quite easy and fun to customize something like a bag. This canvas bag came with the June Paper Pumpkin kit but you can order more as a Paper Pumpkin subscriber by clicking here. 

These cute bags are the perfect size for cards and are great as gifts. What a fun way to personalize something for someone by stamping onto these bags. 

My Tips when stamping on Canvas Bags:
-Avoid the edges
-Don't wash bags, only spot clean
-Use Stazon Ink if you want it to be permeant
-Stamp on a flat and hard surface

I can't wait to see what the bags you get will look like! 
Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!

Tuesday's Tip at Ten: How to Make Your Own Ombre Paper

 


You can make your own Ombre Paper with ease with 3 Stampin' UP! Products:

Cardstock
Ink
Blending Brush

Use the same color of cardstock with the same color of ink and pick a side off the paper that you want to create the Ombre look. Ink up your blending brush and blend from the bottom up (making the bottom the darkest). It is such a subtle but really nice look and doesn't take much effort. 

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!

Miss Monday- Creativity Now Splendid Thoughts Projects

 


On Saturday, June 18th, Stampin' UP! held an Demonstrator Online Event where we got to order early and stamp with a set that is coming out in the Mini Holiday Catalog in July! We used a Product Suite called Splendid Day that includes the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set, Splendid Stems Dies, Soft Seafoam Ribbon, Open Leaf Trinkets and the AMAZING Splendid Day Specialty Foil Designer Series Paper. 

Look through these cards I made but designed by Stampin' UP! to get just a taste of this Suite that is soon to come! I'll tell you what I like most about each card/project. I would LOVE to hear which is your favorite in my comments section below. 



This one I loved how we made a watercolor look with the Stampin' Blends for the background. 


This card really featured showing of the DSP's Foil side and how simple it is to create a background look with the single lined images. 



This card was all about the dies! It shows how you can stamp and then die cut out the image or just die cut out the leaf outlines. Both are just stunning and don't you love that brick embossed background???


This card was fun and included some heat embossing and used the "scraps" from the card above with the "let's celebrate". 


We also made a bag with the DSP that could hold the cards we made (super cute idea)! 



Since I was stamping LIVE with the event I had an oops moment, but LOVE how the bag turned out with showing off both sides of the DSP!!!


This foil paper is just amazing and it comes in different SU colors that it has never came in before (Soft Seafoam, Fresh Freesia, Pool Party, Calypso Coral)!!!

I sure loved this Demonstrator event and hope you loved this sneak peek too! 
(Ask me how you can become a Demonstrator too this month)

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!

Fun Fold Friday- He's All That Father's Day Card

 


Fun Fold Friday with the He's All That Stamp Set and Dies! 
This fold is called a Miara card and I was inspired by Vy Tran's video on Pinterest. I just change it up by leaving out some extra DSP panels and using different sayings on the belly band. 


What makes this card so much fun is all of the score lines that create a fun twist when opening. Mind you, these score lines can be tricky to fold just right. Watch my video to get some bonus tricks. 


The secret number for this card is 1 7/8 (almost 2 inches). That is where you mark on the score line with a pencil and score to the corner or to the next score line. It is also the measurement on the DSP to cut off at an angle. 


My boys are going on a major 3 day campout with my husband this Summer and so this card is perfect for him. But there are lot of DSP combos you can make for this Fun Fold using the He's The Man paper. 

Supplies
He's All That Stamp Set
All That Dies
He's The Man Designer Series Paper (DSP)
Paper- Early Espresso, Soft Succulent, Basic White, Sahara Sand
Ink- Early Espresso
Adhesive- Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid Glue
Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
Paper Trimmer
Bone Folder
**Patience

Measurements
Early Espresso Cardbase: 10 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored @ 3 1/2 & 7
Soft Succulent Belly Band: 8 1/2 x 1 scored @ 2 & 5 3/4
DSP (2): 3 1/4 x 5 1/4
Basic White: 3 1/4 x 5 1/4
Sahara Sand: 3 x 3 (die cut)

Steps
  1. Measure, score, and cut your paper. 
  2. For your cardbase you will need to score from the 3 1/2 score line by marking it at the TOP at the 1 7/8 spot. Use your paper trimmer or scoring tool to score from that mark to the corner and to the other score line corner. Do the same thing on the BOTTOM of the 7 inch score line. Watch the video to see how to fold along the score lines. 
  3. For the DSP and Basic White you will need to make some extra cuts. Measure on the front DSP on the top right 1 7/8 down and cut it at an angle to the corner. Do the same thing with the inside DSP just mark on the bottom left side of the DSP. For the Basic White, you need to mark on both sides. Top left and bottom right. 
  4. Die cut in Sahara Sand the shape you want to fit the saying you are using. 
  5. Stamp in Early Espresso your saying onto the die cut paper. Stamp onto the Basic White as well. 
  6. Glue on the DSP and Basic White to the inside of the card. 
  7. Attach the belly band by using dimensionals to attach the label saying (see video).
