mmm...Stampin' Time

Hello, thank you for popping by!

Thank you for joining us for our Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop! We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop for ideas and creative inspiration. We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world that are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin’ Up!® business and reach some goals we have set. We really appreciate your support.

Each month I look forward to creating thank you cards to send to my customers who have placed an order with me during that month. Some ofthese cards will also have a gift from me as well, if the order was at least $50 and the HOST CODE was used.

I also get to share these cards on a blog heap that I participate in.

I hope you like the cards that I have made., using the CORNER BOUQUET STAMP SET and the SIMPLY SUCCULENTS BUNCLE from the JANUARY -JUNE MINI CATALOGUE and SALE-A-BRATION BROCHURE.

If this card looks familiar it may be because you saw three more of them on a post I shared last Friday. This is the second card I made during my Facebook Live last week.

To see how to make this card make sure you catch up with my Facebook Live on my mmmstampintime page. Unfortunately, there was a glitch with the streaming so the presentation is in two parts.

There will lots of other thank you cards, made by demonstrators around the world. Check them out and get some great ideas for your own cards. I hope you enjoy hopping.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

Hello to each of you who enjoy a challenge. If you have been popping by regularly you will know that one of my 2021 goals is to participate in blog hops and challenges as a way to encourage me to move outside my comfort zone. If you’re new to my posts, thank you so much for checking in – I hope that you like what you see.

It is time for the #CI92 Challenge and this is not my typical colour palette – hence, the challenge. Although, I must say the tulips look gorgeous.

I decided to use the ENJOY THE MOMENT STAMP SET for this card and wanted to add texture and ‘aging’.

I stamped the Bottle Tree Pod stamp onto the Soft Suede card base, using the same colour inkpad.

Then I added colour directly onto the stamp using my Stampin’ Write Markers® and stamped them onto some Basic White card stock. Then I flicked Soft Suede splotches using both the dark and light Stampin’ Blends and then added texture using the OLD WORLD PAPER 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER.

Then I began giving the edges of the Basic White panels a very roughed up time. My Paper Snips and Pick Tool helped the deconstruction process.

The sentiment I chose is lovely. Friendship isn’t complicated – it is found in the simple things. The ‘simple things’ gave me the opportunity to add Daffodil Delight to the card. Ticking boxes – all five colours used!

I teased open some of the BRAIDED LINEN TRIM to create the ‘bow’ elements that are popped under the sentiment panel. I used Mini Glue Dots to hold the fold in place and secure them under the sentiment.

I stamped the same pod image, using Daffodil Delight and Garden Green, onto the card insert. And, I will do the same for the envelope – when my order arrives. Can you believe that I ran out of C6 white envelopes about 12 cards ago. LOL (You will love this – for such a long time, I thought that this meant ‘lots of love’ and my daughters thought that I was ancient. They set me straight – laugh out live).

A pop of Clear Wink of Stella and I’m done.

Make sure you let me know what you think – this style is not what I typically create – moving into other territories.

Happy stamping.

Hello to each of you. Thanks for popping by to see my latest post.

Today, I want to share another card that has a die cut cactus overlay. The POTTED SUCCULENTS DIES has a large overlay die that is an impact element for any project. I shared an earlier card that had the overlay with water colouring below.

This cards is really very uncomplicated.

The card base and overlay are both Basic Gray. A piece of the DSP from the FLOWERING CACTUS PRODUCT MEDLEY was used. The cactus was also cut from the DSP using a die from the same medley.

My go to STITCHED RECTANGLE DIES was used to cut the sentiment.

As I said, this is an uncomplicated card design. I think the white outline around the cactus helps to lift it up from the overlay – it seems much cleaner this way.

Who, in your life, makes the ordinary extraordinary? I’m thrilled that I have a few of them in my life.

Happy stamping.
