In this month’s Stamp Club, we used this limited edition bundle to make two different cards, a Thank You and a Christmas Card.

On this card, we adhered the outside piece directly to the card and popped up the label in the center. On the Thank you card, we did the opposite. If you missed the Thank You card, you can find it here.

It’s pretty hard to see, but we used the new Tufted TIEF on the background. And, can you see that the holly berries are shiny? That’s so easy to do by just adding some fine tip glue on top of them. But, be sure to let that dry completely.

Stamps: Blended Seasons

Cardstock: Old Olive, Whisper White

Ink: StazOn Jet Black, Old Olive

Paper: Under The Mistletoe DSP

Dies: Stitched Seasons

Other: Tufted Dynamic TIEF, Aquapainter, Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker, 1/8” real red ribbon, mini gold sequins.

If you’d like this bundle, order quickly, as it’s only available for a few more days and supplies are limited! If you’d like more information on this bundle, you can find it here.

Color Your Season Thank You

The Blended Seasons Bundle is available ONLY during the month of August, so if you’d like this one, order soon!

We used the bundle in Stamp Club this month. It’s a lovely bundle, with something for all four seasons! If you missed my earlier post on this, you can find it here.

The dies are particularly pretty because they have 3 different sized labels with faux stitching on both the inside and the outside of the cut. It was just too pretty to discard either one, so we used both pieces on our cards in class.

On this card, the outside is popped up with dimensionals, while the inside stamped piece is adhered flat to the front of the card. This was my original sample.

Stamps: Blended Seasons

Cardstock: Granny Apple Green, Whisper White

Ink: StazOn Jet Black

Dies: Stitched Seasons

Other: Watercolor Pencils Assortment 1 and 2, Blender Pen, Basic Pearl, Stampin’ Blends, Subtle Dynamic TIEF, Basic Black Twine

After seeing some of the color choices of my club members, I had to make more of these!

We even colored the basic pearls using the Stampin’ Blends to match the flowers. So, what do you think? Which color do you like best?

Let’s Get Spooky!

We don’t often get clues to what is going to be in a Paper Pumpkin kit, so I’m excited to know that next month’s will be a Halloween kit!

Now, the contents are still a surprise, but for those of you who LOVE Halloween (and I know that’s a LOT of you), be sure to sign up for Paper Pumpkin by September 10th to get this kit. I wouldn’t wait until the last minute, because there are a limited number available!

If you aren’t yet familiar with Paper Pumpkin, it’s a monthly kit that includes everything you need (except scissors) to complete the project, and is delivered directly to your door! It even includes ink and an exclusive stamp set for only $19 a month.

You can order Paper Pumpkin in two ways. You can do a monthly subscription, where your credit card is billed once a month, or you can order a pre-paid subscription of one month, three months, six months, or even twelve months (you’ll save money with some of these).

If you’d like to sign up for the monthly subscription, visit www.paperpumpkin.com and be sure to list me as your demonstrator. If you’d like to order a pre-paid subscription, contact me for details!

Picture Perfect Celebration

I made this card for a challenge group that I am in. The challenge was to make a card based on a sketch. The sketch was a square card with triangles on the front. I decided to do something a little different, so made mine into a fancy fold, instead of just a square card.

I used the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set, along with paper that retired with the last Occasions Catalog.

Stamps: Picture Perfect Birthday

Cardstock: Bermuda Bay, Peekaboo Peach (retired), Whisper White

Ink: Bermuda Bay, Peekaboo Peach (retired)

Dies: Layering Circles Framelits

Other: Bermuda Bay Sequins (retired)

Even though some of these products are retired, the stamp set is still available in the Annual Catalog and would go beautifully with many of our other products! If you need any stamping supplies, I would sure appreciate your order.

Introducing Simply Shammy!

One of my favorite products in the new Stampin’ Up! 2018-2019 Annual Catalog is the Simply Shammy.

What’s so great about this product? It’s a quick and easy way to clean your stamps. And, it works hand in hand with the Stamparatus.

If you have the Stamparatus, you no longer need to clean your stamps with wipes (which can leave fibers that will affect your stamped images) or remove your stamps from the Stamparatus and place them on blocks to clean them using the Stampin’ Scrub. Just wipe them down with the Simply Shammy and they’re ready to go.

It’s also great for removing any extra ink you might get on your Stamparatus plate when you’re inking your stamps.

My shammy has been through five classes this week, and now it looks like this.

All that staining doesn’t affect its performance at all. It still works perfectly.

But, the best part? There are no cleaners or chemicals involved. It works with plain old water. Just rinse it, wring it out, and it’s ready to go. I keep mine in a standard stamp case which keeps it from drying out, so it’s ready to go at all times.

If you don’t have one of these, put it on your next order. You won’t regret it!

Enjoy Life – Round Two

At last month’s Stamp Club, I gave members a choice. I had two samples using the same supplies and the Enjoy Life stamp set. They could make the card below, or the one in my last post, which you can find here.

I think it’s fun to make such a different type of card using the same supplies. And, I have customers who want less girly cards, so this fits the bill.

Stamps: Enjoy Life

Cardstock: Grapefruit Grove, Basic Black, Whisper White

Ink: Grapefruit Grove, Memento Tuxedo Black

Other: Black 1/8” cord

I hope you enjoyed seeing two different ways to use the same supplies.

If you need any of these stamping supplies, you can order at my website link below.

Enjoy Life using Masking

This card is a project from last month’s Stamp Club. It’s made with the new Enjoy Life stamp set and the new In-Color, Grapefruit Grove.

We used a masking technique to add some interest to our white panel. We created a rectangle mask, and lightly sponged Grapefruit Grove inside the rectangle.
