Whale of a Time ocean scene thank you

My card for you today uses the Whale of a Time suite (154126) from Stampin’ Up!  This is a beautiful suite of products that includes ribbon, Designer Series Paper, sequins, a 3D embossing folder, stamps and a punch.  These products can be purchased as a suite, as a bundle or individually depending on your desires.  I began with an A2 card base in just jade,  I embossed a piece of balmy blue cards stock with the Seabed 3D (152700 ) embossing folder (stunningly beautiful in my opinion), cut it to 4 x 5 1/4” then spritzed with champagne mist shimmer paint mixed with rubbing alcohol.  To this I added a layer of the Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper (152460) cut at 2 x 3 1/4”.  I then stamped two seahorses and the coral and kelp on whisper white.  These images are from the Whale Done stamp set (152470).  It can also be purchased in a bundle (154053) with the Whale punch to save 10%, although we did not use the punch today.  The seahorse is stamped in balmy blue, then thumped with  a Stampin’ write marker in misty moonlight to create the two-toned color on him.  I used the same method on all of my images to create a multi-dimensional image.  For the second seahorse, I stamped in bumblebee ink and thumped in calypso coral.  The kelp is stamped in pool party ink and thumped in pretty peacock.  For the coral, I stamped in calypso coral ink and thumped in cajun craze.  I added a piece of pool party sheer ribbon to the embossed layer and tied a bow.  I then added my sentiment on top of the ribbon.  This piece is cut at 1 1/2 x 3/4” and stamped just jade and thumped with pretty peacock.  I did have to fussy cut the images as the stamp set does not have coordinating dies.  For the finishing touch, I added sequins from the Whale of a Time sequins (152461).  

I love how it turned out.  If you would like to purchase any of these products or any additional Stampin’ Up! Products, head on over to my online store by clicking on the shopping cart in the upper right.  I would love to earn your business.  Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.  Thank you for stopping by, I really appreciate you taking time from your busy day.

Time to celebrate treat boxes

Happy July 4th everyone!  Today’s project is a box inspired by Angie Pyjas of Stampingwithamore.  I slightly changed her measurements so the box would fit together more to my liking.  These will be going out to the employees of our local Winco store.  The finished box size is 3 x 1 3/4 x 1”.  I used whisper white, real red and misty moonlight cardstock along with the Designer Series Paper from the Boho Indigo product medley.  The sentiment comes from Itty Bitty Birthdays.

You will need a piece of whisper white cut at 5x5.  Score on the one side at 1” and 4”. Rotate clockwise score at 2” and 3”.  Burnish score lines then cut up the score lines on either side of the small squares to form tabs.  Place adhesive on the inside of two of the longer flaps on one end.  Fold the opposing sides in over your tabs, then fold the adhesive tabs up and secure to make the box.

Next you will need a piece of  real red card stock that is 8 1/8” x 3 1/8”.  Score on the landscape side at 2 1/32, 3 1/32, 5 1/16 and 6 1/16.  This piece will wrap around your box.   Dry fit your box by placing the box bottom into the 1” sections and wrap.  Then round the corners of the top flap.  You will need Designer Series Paper cut at 3/4 x 2 7/8 and another piece cut at 1 3/4 x 2 7/8 in landscape if a directional Paper.  Adhere to box to the wrap in the bottom 1” section.  I used liquid glue.  I the. Adhered then front and back to the box front and back to secure.  You do not have to do this step if you like the look of it hanging loose.  To secure the flap, I used a very thin Velcro adhesive dot.

To decorate, I stamped my sentiment in real red on whisper white and cut with the smallest scallop from the stitched so sweetly dies.  I added this to the second smallest scallop rectangle from the same die set.  This was added to the front.  I had some retired stars on hand to embellish and added some red rhinestones to finish it off.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my project today.  This box could be used for any occasion simply by changing the colors and sentiment.

Red, white and blue jar of flowers watercolor car

The project I’m showing you today was created as a make-n-take for my local stampers group.  We had our first in-person workshop this month.  As we are a group under 10 persons, we were allowed to meet.  My friend Lynette had asked me to create a card that could be used as a thank you and used the Jar of Flowers stamp set from the new annual 2020-2021 catalog.  This is the project I came up with.

I started with a whisper white card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2”.  To this I added a piece of Designer Series Paper from the Boho Indigo product medley (153132 Or refill 153925) cut at 4 x 5 1/4”.  I die cut the second largest scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies (151690) out of seaside spray.  I did a very light watercolor wash of night of navy and cherry cobbler on Fluid 100 watercolor paper (149612).  Let dry thoroughly, then stamp the jar image with memento ink and punch with the Jar punch (152703).  This punch can be purchased separately, or as a bundle (154064 ) with the Jar of Flowers stamp set.  I then stamped the floral spray from Jar of Flowers (152515) on whisper white card stock with momento ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends in misty moonlight, cherry cobbler, just jade, light seaside spray, light night of navy.  I used wink of Stella on the white flowers and the cherry cobbler flowers.  I then fussy cut the floral spray.  I first added my jar to the seaside spray die cut and then used stampin’ dimensionals to add the floral image.  

I thought this card could be used for most any occasion and certainly fits the upcoming holiday.  I hope you have enjoyed my card today and have been inspired.  Thank you for stopping by.  If you would like to purchase any of the products I’ve used today, please stop by my online store by clicking on the shopping cart in the upper right.  I would love to earn your business.  Please leave me a comment, I’d love to hear from you.

Jar of Flowers In Good Taste fun fold card

Today’s projects use a fun fold card.  It uses the Jar of Flowers stamp set (152515) along with Celebrate Sunflowers (152517) for the sentiment.  The Designer Series Paper is from Ornate Garden (152488) and In Good Taste (152494). Both cards are colored with Stampin’ Blends markers.  The ribbon on the first card comes from the Forever Greenery Trim combo pack (152475).  I used linen thread for the trim on the second card.  Both cards are made the same way.  I started with a standard card base of 4 1/4 x 11” , folded in half at 5 1/2”.  I added an additional score at 2 3/4“ and folded this score in the opposite direction making a “Z” fold.  I then added a card layer of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2” to the inside half of the fold.  If you would like to see exactly how I made this card, please check out my video on my Facebook business page at KnT Designs by Teresa and while you are there, like my page.  Look under the videos tab and you will find it.  It was recorded on June 1, 2020.

Blossoms in Bloom

Blossoms in Bloom is the feature bundle for today’s project.  It uses both the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set (152684) and the Many Layered Blossoms dies (152684).  If purchased together as a bundle (154123), you save 10%.  I started this card with a card base merry merlot and added a layer of rococo rose to this. The focal image is stamped on whisper white in rococo rose and garden green for the leaves.  I then die cut one of thicker floral of the Many Layered Blossoms dies in merry merlot, then added a second die cut in soft suede to finish off this card.  I did cut away the leaf parts of the dies to obtain this look.  I did not include a sentiment as this card can be used for any occasion just be adding the sentiment to the inside.  I did not want to detract from the focal image.

I hope I’ve inspired you today, thank you for taking time from your busy day to stop by my blog.  It is truly appreciated.  Please leave me a comment, I’d love to hear what you think.  If you would like to purchase any Stampin’ Up!

Wildly Grateful Scrappy technique challenge card

Today’s card is one I made for Kylie  and Bruno Bertucci’s scrappy strip technique challenge.  I hope it inspires you to try this technique.  It’s supper simple.

For this particular card I cut a base for the strips in cinnamon cider at 3 3/4” x 5”.  I cut a piece of whisper white at 4 x 2 3/4”.  On the whisper white I stamped various images from the new Lovely You stamp set in the new in colors misty moonlight, bumblebee, just jade, magenta madness and cinnamon cider randomly all over the cardstock.  I then cut that piece into multiple strips of different angles along the portrait side.  I also cut 2-3 pieces of each of four of the five new in colors, excluding cinnamon cider.  Alternating the stamped and solid card stock pieces, I glued them to the cinnamon cider base leaving a then border between each strip.  After stamping the sentiment in misty moonlight, and adding the bumblebee flowers, I cut it out using the smallest label of that shape from Hippo and Friends dies.  I cut the next size larger label out in cinnamon cider and then cut the ribbon slots using the dies included with the die set.  The ribbon comes from Flowers For Every Season combo pack.  It started as whisper white and I colored it using the dark misty moonlight Stampin’ Blend.  The bow is also a piece of the same ribbon, this time cut in half to make a thinner bow.  After adding the ribbon to the scrappy strip base it was mounted to a thick whisper white card base over a mat layer of cinnamon cider Designer Series Paper which is included in the 2020-2022 in color 6x6 paper stack.

As You See It Challenge #224—-Speed Painted Poppies

Today’s card I made as a challenge from my stamping friend Tracy.  She had participated in her very first challenge, I can’t say I’m very far ahead of her.  Although, this isn’t my very first challenge, it’s pretty close.  So here goes, the challenge was to make a card with flowers in 10 minutes or less.  I was allowed to gather my stamps, ink and paper and design my card in my head or sketch it out.  I designed this card in my head, loosely based on a card I had created several weeks back.  It was a time intensive card with a lot of coloring and shading with my stampin’ blends.  So, I pulled out my Painted Poppies, Varied Vases for the sentiment and First Frost to use one of those stamps to color in my smaller poppy.  I sure hope you like it as much as I do.  

I started with a piece of whisper white cardstock cut at 5 1/8 x 3 7/8I stamped the sentiment in early espresso first near the center of the card to ensure I would have plenty of room for it.  Next, I stamped the large poppy outlines, then the smaller poppies in early espresso.  I then filled in the larger poppies using lovely lipstick.  The smaller poppies were filled in with a stamp from First Frost in seaside spray and grapefruit grove.  I then masked the poppies with a post it note and stamped the leaves in early espresso.  These leaves are very quickly colored using the stampin’ blends in the old olive combo with a little light mossy meadow.  I then added my focal image to a card base of early espresso cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, and folded in half.  Time to finish was 8:37:57. #simplestamping

I would love it if you would play along as well.  This was a lot of fun!  Thanks Tracy for asking me to play along.  Now, if you would like to purchase any of the items I’ve used in my project, click on the shopping cart to the right.  It will take you directly to my online store, where you will find the products you might need.  I would love to earn your business.

Happy Birthday To You In purple

Today’s project starts with a base of Whisper White cardstock.  To this, I stamped the splotchy image from the Painted Poppies stamp set (151599) around the outside of the card base in Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Purple Posy (stamp can be inked with the Stampin’ Write Marker if you don’t have the stamp set which is no longer available).  I cut the rectangle frame using the Heirlooms Frames and Dies (152325) in Gorgeous Grape.  I then used the coordinating embossing folder (which comes with the dies) to emboss the frame.  To the back of this I added a piece of Purple Posy cardstock.  I then stamped the birthday cake image from the Sale-a-Bration free Happy Birthday  To You stamp set onto Whisper White, twice.  I colored the first image completely and only the flowers on the second image using my blends in Highland Heather combo, Purple Posy combo, light Blackberry Bliss and light Call me Clover.  I first cut the fully colored cake image with the coordinating Birthday Dies (153590) which are only available until March 31, 2020, or while supplies last.  I fussy cut the centers of the flowers from the second image and added them on top of the complete cake image with mini glue dots.  I cut the bottom from the cake piece and added a die cut cake platter from the Birthday dies out of gold foil to the cake piece.  I added this entire piece to the front of my frame and tied a piece of purple tri-colored ribbon (149708) around the frame piece prior to adding to the card front.  I love how this turned out.

Lucky little Ladybug card

Today’s project features a free Sale-a-Bration stamp set which you can earn with a qualifying order or by hosting a workshop ((either in person or virtual).  I also used the coordinating Ladybug dies (153588) which can be purchased through March 31, 2020, or while supplies last.  I started with an A2 card base in Granny Apple Green.  Then on a layer of Whisper White, I stamped the four lady bug image around the edges, masking the corners with a sticky note.  I cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the stitched scallop die from Stitched So Sweetly dies (151690) and then stamped the large flower.  I also stamped the large flower on a scrap piece of cardstock, along with the lady bug.  I colored these images in with Stampin’ Blends, then cut them out with the coordinating dies.  In the die set, there is a die to cut the entire flower, or just the flower top.  In cut just the flower top.  The sentiment also comes from the same stamp set.  I added the scallop rectangle to a piece of basic black cardstock, then added to the lady bug framed whisper white piece.  I saw a similar card on Pinterest by Terri Pocock.

The photo below shows the colors I used for this card.

February Paper Pumpkin alternative

Today’s project features the large stamp from the February 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit.  I used the envelope from the kit as Designer Series Paper on the front of my card which I added to a white card base.  The sentiment strip is the reverse side of the envelope or the inside of it.  I stamped it with Pretty Peacock ink.  To color my flower, I used a mixture of stampin blends and water coloring.  The flower is stamped on shimmery white cardstock.  I was inspired by Chelsey Christensen, also known as Creative Chelsey.  The sentiment comes from a coordinating Sale-a-Bration stamp set called Happy Birthday which you can earn for free.....now who doesn’t love free?

Unique Lovely Lily Pad card

Today’s project was inspired by a video I watched (sorry, I can’t remember who).  It features the Sale-a-Bration free stamp set called Lovely Lily Pad (152288).  It can’t be purchased, but can only be earned for free with a $50 purchase.  In any case, she took the medium lily and stamped it in multiple directions to make a new unique flower.  I loved how it turned out and immediately had to try it out.  This card is the result.  I first diecut a piece of whisper white card stock using the Stitched So Sweetly dies (151690).  I then stamped the medium lily using Memento Tuxedo Black ink (north), then flipped the stamp upside down (south) and lined it up so the bottom was touching the bottom of the previously stamped image.  Next, I stamped the image on a piece of sticky note paper with two thicknesses, then fussy cut it out just inside the outline to form a mask.  I used these masks to place over the two images I stamped on my cardstock.  I then stamped the lily two more times in the openings to the east and west of the masks.  You will have stamped the image four times (north, south, east and west) to form the new flower image.  Very clever right?  I then repeated this process randomly to fill my diecut.  Using my stamping blends, I then colored the images.  The ink pads in the second photo are the colors of blends I used.  I mounted my focal image on a piece of basic black cardstock.  I cut a layer of Follow your Art Designer Series Paper (149489) for the base layer and tied a piece of the Polka Dot Tulle ribbon (146912) around the piece before mounting it to an A2 size card base in basic black.  I left it without a sentiment so I can add it later and use for any occasion.  This card is perfect for a birthday, anniversary, wedding, just because and even sympathy.

Stampin’ blends Used:  Lovely Lipstick light 147026, Rococo Rose combo 149572, Pineapple Punch combo 147280 and Mango Melody dark 147944.

Always Thinking of You Pleased as Punch card

Today’s card features the Pleased as Punch Designer Series Paper (153558) available through March 31, 2020 or while supplies last as part of the Coordination Product Release.  This paper coordinates with several of our punches, but can be used without.  I used an umbrella from the paper which I fussy cut as I don’t have that particular punch.  My card base is thick whisper white and I stamped all around the edges with a splatter stamp from the Painted Poppies stamp set (151599).  This stamp set can be purchased alone or as part of a bundle (151605) with the Painted Labels Dies.  By purchasing as a bundle you save 10% and you earn a free Sale-a-Bration item through March 31.  The sentiment comes from Very Versailles (149275). I used Thoughtful Blooms and the small bloom punch for the flowers.  These are both free Sale-a-Bration items through March 31, 2020.  The focal image is mounted on a piece of pool party card stock cut to 3 3/4” x 5”. Ink colors used are Blushing Bride, Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue, and Pool Party.  The leaves in the umbrella flower basket are cut from Granny Apple Green use Coordination Product Release Nature’s Thoughts Dies (153586 )which coordinate with the Positive Thoughts Stamp set(151490). Both are must haves in my opinion.

My second card uses two pieces of the Pleased as Punch Designer Series Paper.  The umbrella is again cut from the paper and the base layer is a piece of the Designer Series Paper.  This is where I took my color inspiration from.  The sentiment comes from the Beautiful Moments stamp set (151677) and is cut using a die from Ornate Frames dies (150664) which carried over from the 2019 holiday catalog.

Thoughtful Blooms Stone Thank You card

Hello, I’m back after a long absence.  Life has been crazy busy and something had to give.  Things are better and it’s time to get back to blogging.  Hopefully, I can keep the momentum going.  Today’s card is one I made using several Sale-a-Bration products which are available through the end of March 2020 with a qualifying order.  For every $50 increment you spend, you earn a free Sale-a-Bration item of your choice.  This card uses the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set, small bloom punch and stone embossing folder which is part of the Power of Hope Bundle.  The small bloom punch will be available for purchase in the upcoming 2020-2021 annual catalog.  In addition, I used the bee stamp from the January Paper Pumpkin (if you don’t have this set, you could use a bee from the Honey Bee stamp set (151527) which can be purchased separately, or as part of a bundle which includes coordinating dies (153792).  Colors used on this card are coastal cabana, early espresso, pineapple punch, so saffron and calypso coral.  The sentiment is from Label Me Bold (151631).  This set was inspired by Million Dollar Sales Achiever Jasmin Schulz.  Focal images are on a diecut from the Nature’s Thought dies (153586) which are part of the Coordination Product release available through March 31.
