You Warm My Heart

Hi Everyone! Since Spring is sort of here, I have been thinking of warm days with beautiful flowers. Right now my garden has some very similar in bloom.

This would look beautiful in pinks, or blues. I just might have to try it!

Summer Anniversaries!

Hi Everyone! Did you miss me!? I know I haven't posted anything in a long time, truth be told, I haven't been in my craftroom in a long time! I finally got one card done the other day! Just one! I have many more to make, because August (hard to believe we are already at the end of July!) seems to have lots of Wedding Anniversaries in it. Here is the one I came up with the other day.

 

I love looking at summer gardens, they are so full of colour. The inspiration for this card is from a garden full of Petunias. They were so beautiful, and I wanted to capture it forever.

Potted Plants

Hi Everyone! Today's card is for one of my wonderful neighbours. You see, I live by really great people, who like to help each other out. The other day I was out back with my daughter and my lovely neighbour stopped to say 'hello'. Somehow the conversation lead to flowers and the next thing you know we are in her backyard admiring her beautiful flowers. Then I ask her for advise on some of my own flowers. Well, that turned into her helping me re-pot some plants with her potting soil. So, I just had to make her a 'Thank You' card!

Here is a close up of the center of the card so you can see the detail better. I wish there was a way to get the stem of the plants coming out of the dirt better. (I'm a bit of a perfectionist, if you didn't know already!)

The pots are actually made from a Quickutz die. Not sure if anyone remembers what those are! It is the ice cream tub, modified of course!

 

Stampin' Up! Supplies:

 

Paper: Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Rich Razzleberry, Real Red

 

Inks: Old Olive, Black Stazon, Daffodil Delight

Summer Silhouettes

Hi Everyone! Sorry, for not posting in a while. The weather here was so gorgeous, that I just needed to spend time with my family! Hope you don't mind!

Today, I have for you 2 cards using the same stamp sets: Summer Silhouettes and Perfectly Penned (retiring).  Did I tell you how much I really LOVE Summer Silhouettes!? Inspiration for the cards came from spending time outdoors with my family.

I used the same colours for both of the cards. (I'll list everything that I used at the bottom of this post). This one opens to the right.

 

This one opens from the bottom. It reminds me of a bouquet of Summer flowers.

 

 

Here they are together. As you can see, they both are completely different cards, yet I used the same stamp sets.

 

Stampin' Up! Supplies:

 

Paper: Sahara Sand, Pistachio Pudding, So Saffron, Whisper White

Spring Flowers 6

Hi Everyone! Today, I have the last of Spring Flowers card for you. For this one I used: Summer Silhouettes for the leaves, Bloomin' Marvelous for the flowers, For You for the greeting, and Best of Butterflies for the dragonfly.

You wouldn't believe all the different cards you can make with Summer Silhouettes! I am so happy this set didn't end up on the retired list. It is one of the first sets that I bought when I became a demonstrator. Certainly hasn't let me down! It has 9 different stamps for $21.95 (clear). This is one set that I would highly recommend.

Again, the orientation for this card is different. It opens from the right side, but still a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card. The base is Whisper White, layered with Regal Rose, Basic Black, then Whisper White to stamp on. The flowers are stamped in Regal Rose, the leaves are in Smoky Skate, while the dragonfly and the greeting are Black Stazon.

 

Stampin' Up! Supplies:

 

Paper: Whisper White, Regal Rose (retired), Basic Black

 

Ink: Smoky Slate, Black Stazon, Regal Rose

 

Stamp Sets: Summer Silhouettes, Bloomin Marvelous (retired), For You, Best of Butterflies (retired)

 

Accessories: Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Pearls

Spring Flowers 5

Hi Everyone! Hard to believe the week is over! Where did the time go? That's okay, bring on the weekend! It's supposed to be beautiful. Maybe my kids will go swimming again!

Today, I have for you somewhat of a different card. I have made them before, but this one is different because it doesn't open up. You actually pull the card up...  to reveal a recipe card! Totally cool right!? I haven't had a chance to print out my recipe yet. I have had numerous people ask me for my gluten free granola bar recipe, so I thought this would be a lovely way to give it out.

 

So, once I print out the recipe I will adhere it to the Strawberry Slush card.

Stampin' Up! Supplies:

Paper: Baked Brown Sugar, Strawberry Slush, Whisper White

Inks: Night of Navy (butterflies), Pistachio Pudding, Strawberry Slush

Spring Flowers 2

Hi Everyone! Today, I have a similar card as yesterday. This time I was using a colour combination that Stampin' Up! made up. Of course I had to change it up a bit.

Pizza Boxes!

Hi everyone! Today I have for you 2 different sizes of Pizza Boxes. One mini and one a little larger, (no, it doesn't hold a regular size pizza!) I have been wanting to make these for a long time. They are just adorable. You can put anything in them. In one, I have 3x3 note cards with envelopes and the other one I wanted something different. I haven't decided yet what that will be, but the possibilities are endless. Maybe some chocolates!

 

The last photo is of the mini Pizza Box with the 3x3 cards that I made to go inside. I didn't want the cards to say 'Happy Birthday' because the box is the gift already wrapped and the cards inside are to be given away.

 

There are lots of tutorials out there. For the larger one, I found the tutorial on Splitcoaststampers. (I know it says mini, but there is a smaller version out there). However, I can't remember where I found the mini one, probably you-tube.

Ink: Real Red, Pool Party, Old Olive

Ink: Crisp Cantaloupe, Old Olive, Black Stazon

Triple Time Stamping (Tutorial)

Today I have for you a tutorial on how to make this lovely card. In the card world they call it Triple Time Stamping. I know what you're thinking, this card is way too hard. Actually it's really easy. Let's get started!

First you will need these supplies:

Stamp Sets:
Summer Silhouettes (c 126447)
Flower Shop (c 130942)
Simply Sketched (c 129672)

Inks:
Garden Green (126973)
Crushed Curry (131173)

Paper:
1 - Whisper White Cardstock (100730) 2 x 3 1/4
1 - Garden Green Cardstock  (102584) 2 1/4 x 3 1/2
1 - Whisper White Cardstock  3 x 4 1/4
1 - Garden Green Cardstock  3 1/4 x 4 1/2
1 - Whisper White Cardstock  4 x 5 1/4
1 - Garden Green Cardstock  8 1/2 x 5 1/2

Accessories:
White Baker's Twine (124262)
White Designer Button (130031)
Stampin' Dimensionals (104430)
Pearl Basic Jewels (119247)
Black Stazon Ink (101406) For the Greeting

1. This is what the Whisper White Cardstock should look like.

2. Now you need to put a LITTLE bit of adhesive on the back of the 2 smaller Whisper White Cardstock pieces. You only want a little because you will have to remove them later.

 

3. Now you are going to layer them like this photo. (Hard to photograph white paper!) They need to be centered on top of one another.

 

4. Now the really fun part! Stamping the leaf images on to all 3 pieces of Whisper White Cardstock. Randomly stamp where you want the leaves to go. Always remember that it is more pleasing to the eye if you stamp an odd amount.

 

5. Now for the flower, same as the leaf, wherever you want them. (Remember odd numbers!) We are almost done! See, it wasn't that hard, was it!?

 

6. Now you take the Whisper White Cardstock layers apart and you adhere them to the Garden Green matts that you previously cut.

 

7. Before you adhere it to the card, now is the time to wrap your Bakers Twine around the 2 first full layers and add your button. I also stamped my Birthday Greeting (Black Stazon) at this time.

 

8. Last step! Adhere it to your card base with dimensionals!

 

 

 

Here is another card I made using the same method.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Please leave me a comment, I would love to know what you think or if you have any questions about the cards that you see here. All these supplies can be purchased through Stampin' Up!, just press the shopping cart button and happy shopping!

 

Happy Stamping!
