HELLO, IT’S SATURDAY & TIME FOR SOME #simplestamping

This week I have chosen the Gumball Greetings Bundle to feature for my schedule of projects.

My pre-order, from the upcoming 2022 – 2023 Annual Catalogue, arrived yesterday afternoon! I’ll try to do an unboxing Facebook Live over the weekend to give you a bit of a sneak peek.

Both boxes weighed a total of 35 kilograms – thank goodness we have a trolley in our apartment building.

Okay – let’s see some #simplestamping projects using stamps, ink and cardstock.

The gumball machine is made up of three seperate images. Fortunately, the stamps are photopolymer. This means that it is easy to see exactly where you are stamping and each image can be aligned accurately.

I used the Tuxedo Black Memento and Flirty Flamingo inks to stamp the images for this super simple cards.

For this card I simply added the Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Write Marker to colour some of the areas of the gumball machine.

For the next card, I added some Designer Series Paper and dies.

The striped paper is from the Pattern Party DSP.

After stamping the gumball machine elements, I used the Gumball Machine Dies to cut each of them. Then I connected them using Stampin’ Dimensionals to have it pop up off the card front.

The sentiment was stamped on a small piece of Basic White cardstock.

Tomorrow I will share two stepped up versions of this card with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

A NEW FUN FOLD CARD FOR YOU TODAY

Fun Fold Friday is everything the title says – Friday, Fun Fold card and heaps of Fun.

The card today is an ARROW Fun Fold card.

I used a half sheet of Bermuda Bay cardstock for the card base. After marking the centre of the card front, along the bottom of the front flap, I scored from that point up to the top outer corners. Then I scored from the same centre point to 1-1/2″ from the top outer corners. After burnishing these score lines I was able to create the arrow shape.

The Pattern Party 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper was perfect for the panel sections of the card.

I stamped the kite tail directly onto the DSP. After I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the kite, it had Stampin’ Dimensionals attached so that the kite would look as it was floating. This was repeated with the clouds.

The sentiment was stamped, cut out and popped up with dimensionals.

Using the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends pen, I coloured some Rhinestone Basic Jewels to add the centre of each of the bows.

I stamped a cloud on the card insert and envelope.

Tomorrow I will have a new stamp set collection to share with you for the week.

Until then. happy stamping.

TIME FOR SOME FUN

Hello crafty friends. Welcome to today’s project share. I am so pleased that you’re visiting my post.

I wanted to use my Give It a Whirl Dies again because I’ve only used it once so far. One of my goals for the rest of the year is to work my way through all of my Stampin’ Up!® goodies that I have only used once.

For this project I decided to use the Brew Some Fun Stamp Set and Pattern Play Designer Series Paper.

I wanted to use smaller images and stamp them several times to fill the spaces on the spinning card piece. The tea bag cup, party hats and flowers stamps were the perfect size to do this. After they were stamped I coloured them using Stampin’ Write Markers™. Let’s take a spin and I’ll show you the other two segments.

I used the same die, that cut the viewing space, to cut two pieces of the DSP. These were then posiotined to create the segmented circle.

To assemble the card I added a layer of striped DSP to the base. Then I used a brad to hold the spinning mechanism in position under the Misty Moonlight front panel.

I stamped the greeting in Misty Moonlight onto a small piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock. Then I used the scalloped die to cut the circle that I could place inside the Bumblebee scalloped frame.

More scalloped frames, in coordinating colours, were cut and adhered to the card front, card insert and envelope.

It was fun to make another spinning card. Now I’ll need to think of some other card ideas for this set of dies.

What do you think? Who would you like to brew up some fun with?

Until next time, happy stamping.
