Cute Layout

May 3, 2022

I apologize for the lateness of this post. I have been having internet issues. We are now into a new catalog, so some of these items may not be available. BUT, as you can see, you can use your own supplies with this versatile fun and cute layout.

Get ready for a FAB (Friends Across Borders) post today that celebrates easy crafting with a cute layout and cards that are fun to make.

Connie’s Been Busy!

This is a fun layout that you can use to create lots of cards that show off pretty Designer Series Paper and fun punched or die cut images. Each card looks different depending on the DSP you use and the other elements you add. This first card is so cute!

Hello Ladybug!

I used the super cute Ladybug builder punch for this card. I stamped the Real Red wings with Memento Black ink dots using the stamp from the Hello Ladybug stamp set.

All my cards today use the Heart and Home DSP. This paper has some pretty patterns and colours, and I love the woodgrain side to add just a little interest when I really want to show off other elements of my card.

Dragonfly Garden

The second card shows the wonderful bumblebee print from the DSP package, and I accented it with some dragonflies stamped with Cinnamon Cider ink on Pale Papaya cardstock. Don’t forget that there are only a few days left to get the last chance products like Cinnamon Cider ink and cardstock, and the Gilded Gems I used on this card.

Daisies

For the final card I used both the Daisy Punch, which is retiring, and the Medium Daisy Punch which will carryover to the new annual catalogue to create some pretty flowers for my card. The leaves are punched from Night of Navy cardstock using the Bough Punch, which will also continue to be available.

So, gather some pretty Designer Series Paper, some of your favourite punches, and get ready to create some cute and easy cards!

Waves of the Ocean Collection

March 19, 2022

Hello FAB followers, it’s the FAB Stampers here with another post for you. Today it’s Connie’s turn, and she is sharing a couple of cards made with the new Waves of the Ocean Collection.

From Connie’s Craft Studio

Waves of the Ocean Collection

This is a brand-new collection of products, and they are beautiful. The Waves of Inspiration Bundle is an early release from the Annual Catalogue that will go live in May, and there are 3 other products in the collection that will only be available until May 2, and only while supplies last.

Photos do not even begin to do justice to showing you how stunning the Designer Series Paper is. The colours are deep and vibrant and coordinate beautifully with the Blue Foils Specialty paper and the gorgeous Waves Rhinestone Basic Jewels. If you are at all fond of the colour blue, these are absolute must have products.

On to the Crafting!

I love the pelican stamp so want to make sure I used him on my cards. Here is the first card.

A Few Details

To stamp the wave, I used Coastal Cabana, and inked up the whole stamp. Then I used a sponge dauber to add Pacific Point and Night of Navy highlights to the stamp.

Tips & Tricks

Make sure you start with your lightest colour of ink when doing this technique, and work to the darkest. That way you won’t contaminate your lighter ink pads with dark ink.
Also, make sure you “huff” on your stamp before you stamp it, to make sure the ink is nice and moist, and didn’t dry while you were adding additional colours with your sponge daubers.

I covered over the wave after I stamped it so the pelican on the posts would not cross into the water when I stamped it.

The second card shows off what may be considered the ‘back side’ of the Designer Series Paper, the side that isn’t blue.

This time I stamped my pelican on a scrap of Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. The clouds are also die cut, and I love that the dies include texture pieces to really make the clouds interesting.

I coloured the pelican with Light Grey Granite and SU700 Stampin’ Blend on both cards.

I hope you enjoyed these projects. Now, back to Jeanne!
