Detailed Things

I generally tend to stay away from fussy detailed dies on my projects but that is one thing I am trying to start to use more.  The Die Brush definitely makes it easier to get all those fussy little pieces out once you run the die and paper through the Big Shot. 

On this card I used the Detailed Floral thinlits on some Pear Pizzazz card stock and added some Fabulous Foil designer acetate between that layer and a piece of Sweet Sugarplum card stock. 

The acetate is difficult to see in the pictures and maybe was a step I didn't really need on this one.

Supplies:

Layering Love

Sweet Sugarplum ink

Sweet Sugarplum, Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake, Whisper White card stock

3/8" metallic ribbon (SAB 2017)

Detailed floral thinlits

Fabulous foil designer acetate

Enjoy the Little Things

Well, if things work out like I hope they do in a few hours I will be really enjoying the little things - a weekend scrapbooking retreat with lots of my great friends!  Since I am writing this post a week early, my hope is that we won't be still digging potatoes so I can get to the retreat!  I am in need of some down time and friends, it has been a long haul this harvest season.

These notebooks were really easy to dress up since they already had the cute chevron covers.  I textured some Whisper White card stock with the Cable Knit folder and stamped my sentiments, added some mats and some ruched ribbon and I had some fun little notebooks ready to go.

Supplies:

Layering Love

Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy ink

Whisper White, Basic Black, Tip Top Taupe card stock

ruched ribbon

notebooks

Cable Knit folder

Live Laugh Love

I have been trying to find some good projects for my nieces to do when they come over for their annual 4H project day with me.  This is one of the things I thought they might have fun with. 

When Stampin' Up! had fabric, I played around with these hoops a little and had a few of them leftover.  I opened the hoop and carefully placed the designer series paper in between the two pieces, cutting around the circle leaving about 1/2" to 3/4".  Then, I tightened the hoops together as much as I was able to and trimmed any remaining edges on the back.

The decorating is pretty self explanatory, but I did take some White Perfect accents and add some color to them with markers.  Fearing that they might not dry well like that, I added some Wink of Stella glitter brush over the top so they also have a little sparkle!

Supplies:

Layering Love

Dapper Denim, Mint Macaron ink and markers

Whisper White, Dapper Denim card stock

2" and 2 1/2" circle punches

metallic thread

burlap ribbon

ruched ribbon 5/8" Dapper Denim

July Paper Pumpkin Layout

I decided to use one of the little boxes from the July Paper Pumpkin kit on a scrapbook layout.  All I did was cut off the tabs and then added it to my page.  It is placed over a piece of Fabulous foil designer acetate and next to a piece of Serene Scenery designer series paper.

I added a couple different die cuts from the Sunshine Wishes thinlits collection, a In Color doily, washi tape and some rhinestone flowers (retired) to complete it.

For the journaling, I just wrote on the lines of the designer series paper.

Supplies:

I have found that the Timeless Textures stamp set can be used in a lot of different ways for cards and scrapbook pages.  For this one, I did quite a bit of distressing with it using some new In Colors.

I chose Sweet Sugarplum, Peekaboo Peach and Flirty Flamingo for my inks and added a sentiment from Layering Love, another set that is easy to use for both card making and scrapbooking.

I added a little bit of ruched ribbon and a safety pin to finish the card.

Supplies:

Layering Love, Timeless Textures

Sweet Sugarplum, Peekaboo Peach and Flirty Flamingo ink

Very Vanilla, Peekaboo Peach card stock

Flirty Flamingo ruched ribbon

Layering Ribbon

I was messing around with some of the new ruched ribbon on this card, just adding several strips across some Playful Palette designer series paper.  It might look better with some different colors...?

I added a little glitter with the Wink of Stella glitter brush under my sentiment and inside the heart.  There are some brush stroke images from the Painter's Palette stamp set on the card base, I used Dapper Denim ink on the same color card stock.

Room in Your Heart

This card is a fairly quick and easy one that I have put into my Stamp a Stack rotation.  I will offer the participants the option of this card or one using greens if they choose to make a baby boy card. 

The onsie is from the Something for Baby stamp set and the hearts and sentiment come from the Layering Love set in the new catalog.  I added some Playful Palette designer series paper as well.

June Stamp Club Projects

I wanted to use as many new catalog items on our stamp club projects as I could this month.  There are two different designer series papers in the projects below - Playful Palette and Affectionately Yours...a new punch called duet banners and a couple different stamp sets - Layering Love, Swirly Bird and Pun intended.

I chose some new in colors for this card - Flirty Flamingo and Sweet Sugarplum as well as some ruched ribbon.

This one uses the Swirly scribbles thinlits and some Peekaboo Peach card stock...

And finally the layout which again uses the duet banner punch, Affectionately yours specialty paper and Pun intended stamp set.

Hope you enjoyed these projects!  I always have room for more in my monthly stamp club or my Virtual (every other month) stamp clubs!  Contact me here if you would like more information about either one of them.

Layering Love

Finally, some new catalog samples for you!  This card use a few of the new In Colors - Dapper Denim, Peekaboo Peach and Flirty Flamingo.

The sentiment comes from a stamp set called Layering Love and the background is a stamp set called Perfectly Wrapped.  I added a little bit of Playful Palette designer series paper and some 3/8" ruched ribbon in Sweet Sugarplum.

Supplies:
