mmm...Stampin' Time

Hello! Thanks for popping by. If this is your first visit please leave me a comment to say where you’re from.

Today I have a very cute shaker card to share with you.

I started by cutting the space for the Cloche Shaker Dome from a piece of Penguin Playmates 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper. The die is from the Cloche Dies set. Then I wrapped and tied the lengths of Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon.

I positioned this DSP layer over a piece of Basic White card and traced the shape of the cloche die cut space. Using a small piece of the spotted DSP I cut a dome shape and adhered it over the traced area. Then I stamped the hilly line from the Penguin Place Stamp Set, fussy cut along the stamped slope and glued it in place. I used Evening Evergreen to stamp the tree.

The Penguin Builder Punch was used to punch out the Fresh Freesia penguin. I used some of the Snowy White Velvet Sheet to punch out the peguin’s central area. The eyes were stamped using Jet Black StazOn, the scarf in Soft Succulent and the feet were punched from Misty Moonlight card.

The shaker dome was then attached to the DSP card front layer. Then I carefully placed some Subtle Shimmer Sequins in the centre of the dome area and peeled the backing from the dome and added Mutlipurpose Glue across the back to adhere these layers to the card base.

I stamped the sentiment several times before trimming then down into the smaller segments. They were popped up onto long, thin strips of Stampin’ Dimensionals cut from the edge of the sheet. It was fun to create a repeat of the sentiment – BE COOL – BE COOL . BE CHILL – BE CHILL . BE MERRY – BE COOL.

The same sentiment was stamped on the card insert and envelope. And, for the final tounch, I added some Fresh Freesia In Colour Gems to the card front.

These are most of the products I used for this project.

So, what do you think of my penguin shaker card? It was so much fun to make.

Until next time, happy stamping.

Hello and welcome to my very late Saturday project share. I am so delighted that you have popped by!

I did not have a scheduled post for today and thought that I would have a project to share with you much sooner.

But then I was delightfully distracted! While I was enjoying breakfast, I was on my iPad and opened Facebook. I had missed a Facebook Live of Patty Bennett so I watched the replay. During her Live she was sharing details of her visit to the Stampin’ Up!® Head Office in Riverton, Utah in recognition of her 2 000 000 Career Sales Achievement (from February 2020).

One of the things she shared was her crafting session she enjoyed with Shelli and Sara. After she showed the fun fold card they made, I decided that would be the style of card I would make today. I started about 10.30am and after many interruptions I have finally finished and photographed it.

For my version of Patty’s card I decided to use the Merriest Moments Bundle in conjunction with the Whimsy & Wonder Suite. Here is my card – make sure that you leave a comment and tell me what you think.

I started by cutting and scoring a sheet of A4 Misty Moonlight cardstock into the three panels needed for this fun fold. Then I adhered the piece of Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Sereis Paper to the front layer of the card.

Then I used the stitched rectangle die from the Merriest Frames Dies to accurately cut out the centre of the front layer.

The next step was to cut and emboss the Polished Pink Shimmer Vellum. This included the detailed leaves frame as well as the smaller layered floral and leaf elements that you can see in the top left hand corner of the frame.

The central raised layer comprises a Polished Pink Shimmer Vellum die cut element and the stamped sentiment and die cut Basic White layer. This was popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals and positioned precisely on the DSP layer, as you can see.

When you see the card completely opened, you will know that I added another layer of the Specialty DSP (the baubles design) and a very simply stamped layer of Basic White card for someone to write their Christmas greeting.

The same image was also stamped on the envelope. My final step was to add some Subtle Shimmer Sequins to the card front.

I was so delighted to spend time today creating a card that was inspired by the stamping session Patty Bennett enjoyed with Shelli Gardner and Sara Douglass – wow, when it comes to inspiration, does it get any better than this?

Whoops, this image is a little blurry. I hope that it still gives you an idea of the way card looks when opened this way.

I am so pleased with the way this card has turned out. What do you think?

Until next time, happy stamping.
