The new Idea Book and Catalog has arrived!!  
Please reach out if you would like one!

So many of you have expressed your love for the new layout. Although at first, I was on the fence, I am now in love as well.  It is the biggest change they have made with the catalog but one for the better.  I always felt their Idea Book and Catalog was overwhelming for new customers, you just didn’t know where to look for things to make a project  unless you knew what you were doing. With this new layout everything you need to replicate a project is right there, woo hoo.
With that said, I would love to know what your favorite thing about the new layout is.

Stampin Friends January 2024 Blog Hop - Life’s Special Occasions

 

 

Welcome to Another Year of Stampin Friends Blog Hop! 

Happy HAPPY NEW Year!!!!

Welcome All to 2024!!

I can’t believe it is time to start hopping again!  I have so much doing this every month and I hope you enjoy hopping along with us!  This year, as in past years, we will have a new theme each month.  Some months we will be showcasing cards and other months we will have a greeting card along with a 3D item.  So lets….GeT…..ReADy..tO…CREATE!!!!

If you are following along the hop, you have arrived from Steph’s blog. Be sure to read through my blog, comment below and continue to Maureen’s blog.

If you get lost along the way, no worries, you can find a list of Blog Hoppers at the end of each Blog. ENJOY!

This month we are showcasing cards that are about celebrating Life’s Special Occasions.  The Occasion I chose was celebrating the birth of a new baby!  I found it’s never a bad idea having a few baby cards on hand. The greatest thing about this card, the stamp set and Designer Series Paper (DSP) used was FREE!  Right now Stampin’ Up! is having their Sale-A-Bration sale, so for every $50 you spend in product and can select a FREE item from their Sale-A-Bration Catalog, win, win!

MATERIALS NEEDED

Stamp Set: Cradled in Love

Paper: Basic White CS (4 1/4x11”) scored at 5 ½” and 6 ½”

Shimmer White CS (scraps)

Flight & Airy 12”x12” DSP (4 ¼” x 4” and 4 ¼” x 1”)

Ink: StazOn; Calypso Coral Light & Dark Stampin’ Blends

Tools/Accessories: Deckled Circle Dies; Purple Fine Shimmer Gems; Classic Label Punch; Calypso Coral Ribbon; Wobbles 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. I used the book fold technique for this card. The card base is basic white folded in half, then it gets folded the opposite way at the second score line.  I adhered the 1” section between the center score and 1” score line together.  This now gives me a square(ish) section to work with for my major image.  NOTE: If you make your second score at 6 ¾” you will have a perfect square).
2. 
   I adhered the 1” strip to the left of the card front and the 4 ¼” x 4” piece of DSP to the “square” section.
3. I then died cut a circle ring out of shimmer white card stock using the deckled circle die that measured 3 ¼” and the second circle after that which was just under 4”.  I adhered this to the center.
4. I stamped the crib image on shimmer white card stock with StazOn.  I then colored it in with calypso coral stampin’ blends.
5. I fussy cut it out and adhered it to the center of the circle using a wobble.  Believe it or not, this is the first time I have ever made a card with a wobble.  So Much Fun!
6. I then stamped the sentiment also on shimmer white card stock and punched it out with the Classic Label Punch.  I adhered this to the card front with dimensionals.
7. Lastly, I embellished the card front with purple fine shimmer gems.

   

I hope you enjoyed my first project of year!  I can’t wait to share a lot more with you this coming year!!  Be sure to check back regularly.  My hopes are to share a lot more projects with my stampin’ friends!  Comments of any kind (well hopefully nice ones, lol) are greatly appreciated.  When you are done, be sure to hop on over to Maureen’s page!!

See you next month!

STAMPIN' W/TIZIANA JANUARY 2024 NEWS

Stampin Friends July 2023 Blog Hop - Perfectly Punched

Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop!

I hope your Summer is going wonderfully, that is if it is Summer where you are.  We, in New England have finally got the heat and Humidity.  Most people hate this weather, but not me!  It doesn’t last long here, so I will take all that days of it that is given to me.

Our July blog hop is all about “Perfectly Punched”.  What I am gathering from this topic is that it can be anything that uses a hand help punch.  It seems lately, there are not too many of them, with the cricket and metal dies.  I however, prefer punches over the others.  They are easy to use, and people share them very well in a class setting, lol.  I was also happy that this was a topic for the hops because I have a few of them that have never been used.  So today, I am using Happy Hedgehog stamp set and coordinating punch. Check it out below!

If you are following along the hop, you have arrived from Maureen’s blog. Be sure to read through my blog, comment below and continue to Barb’s blog. If you get lost along the way, no worries, you can find a list of Blog Hoppers at the end of each Blog. ENJOY!

 

 

MATERIALS NEEDED

Stamp Sets: Happy Hedgehog Bundle; Color & Contour; Petal Park Bundle

Paper:  Copper Clay CS (5 ½” x 8 ¼”), scored at 4 ¼”)

Fresh As a Daisy Designer Series Paper (DSP) (4” x 5 ¼”)

Basic White (3 ¾” x 5”); ( 5 1/4” x 4”); (Scraps for stamping and punching)

Ink:  Basic Grey; Pecan Pie, Colypso Coral; Petal Pink; Momento Black

Tools/Accessories:   Picture This Dies (R); Adhesive Backed Solid Gems; Liquid Enamel Dots

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.    Today’s card I started with a base of copper clay cardstock, layered with a 3 ¾” x 5” piece of very vanilla cardstock.  I stamped the speckled image from Color & Contour in Old Olive ink and used the stamp off method to lighten the color a little.

2.    The next layer is a piece of 4” x 5 ¼” Fresh as a Daisy DSP.  I die cut the circles in the DSP using the Picture This die.  We can set this aside and work on the rest of the card.

3.    On basic white cardstock, stamp all the images needed.  I stamped two sets of flowers from Petal Park.  I used the colors calypso coral for the outlines and petal pick for the fill.  I stamped three mushrooms, two small hedgehogs and one big hedgehog from the stamp set Happy Hedgehogs.  I also stamped my sentiment in basic black.

4.    I used the stampin blends for most of my coloring.  (Sadly, I have not mastered the shading techniques with these markers.  I really need to practice that).

5.    All the pieces were fussy cut except for the large hedgehog.  The one thing I did want to note about punching out the hedgehog, is if you stamp the image twice you can make him 3-D with the punch!  I seen this technique from Tracy Elsom.  What you do is punch a full hedgehog and then just the top part.  Using the tool with the ball at the end you roll it around the smaller piece to create a pocket.  Fill this pocket with a small piece cotton balls.  Then attach it to the full punched hedgehog.  Isn’t it the cutest?

   

 

 

 

   

6.    When all of my pieces were completed, I then placed them onto the card base.  All the hedgehogs and the sentiment were adhered with dimensionals and the other pieces with double sided adhesive.

7.    Lastly, I embellished the flowers with adhesive backed solid gems and dotted the mushrooms with enamel dots.  (These are so easy and fun to use!  I am so happy Stampin’ Up! isn’t coming out with more colors)

So there you have it, my Perfectly Punched card!  I hope you enjoyed this month’s blog post and found a fun way to use your punches!!  Comments of any kind (well hopefully nice ones, lol) are greatly appreciated.  When you are done be sure to hop on over to the next blogger, Barb on the list!

See you next month!

Stampin Friends August 2022 Blog Hop - All About the Paper!

Welcome to Stampin Friends Blog Hop! This month is “all about paper”.  As paper crafters, where would we be without paper, lol. The point of this months blog is to showcase all the wonderful that is out, especially my favorite Designer Series paper from Stampin’ Up!  

If you are following along the hop, you have arrived from Jo’s blog. Be sure to read through my blog, comment below and continue to Jean’s blog. If you get lost along the way, you can find a list of Blog Hoppers at the end of each Blog.  ENJOY!

I am always amazed (not sure why though) at the product selection Stampin’ Up! has to offer.  My greeting card and 3D project was made using only one of their Designer Series Paper pack and a bunch of coordinating card stock, along with one product bundle.  Below are all the supplies used to make my projects.

MATERIALS:

Season of Chic Bundle
Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper
Gold Foil Sheets
Soft Succulent Card Stock
Petal Pink Card Stock
Melody Mango Card Stock
Soft Suede Card Stock
Basic White Card Stock
Very Vanilla Card Stock
Basic Pearls
Basic Rhinestones
Momento Black Ink

What better way to showcase the beautiful paper this DSP has to offer, then by using just about all the different sheets on one card?  Below is my card along with some simple instructions.

CARD MEASUREMENTS:
Card Base: basic white card stock, 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/2”
Second Layer: gold foil 4” x 5 1/4”
Third Layer: 5 pieces of DSP, 15/16” x 3 3/4”
Scraps: soft succulent, petal pink, soft suede and basic white

I do like cards that come together very easily and this is definitely one of them.  The majority of the card is adhered together with adhesive.  The sentiment panel is adhered with dimensional, to make it pop up a little.  Then I embellished it with basic pearls. (These are still my favorite go to embellishments, along with the basic rhinestones).

Another great way to showcase DSP is by making a sampler frame.  When I first noticed the bundle, Season of Chic, in the catalog (I’ll admit, it was just about two weeks ago) I fell in love and thought it would be the perfect bundle for a seasonal frame.  My original plan was to use it in my frame class, but unfortunately, it didn’t come in in time. But  I am excited that I got to use for my blog. Normally, I would make an insert for each season, this is what I did form my class.  However, to be able to use the different sheets of DSP in one frame, I made this one to reflect all four seasons.

             

FRAME
Frame size: 11 x 11, it the mats opening was 4 1/2” x 4 1/2”.  by I enlarged it to be 6” x 6”.
Background stock: Gail Foil 7” x 7”
Squares: 4 pieces of DSP  3 16/17” x 3 16”/17”
Scraps: 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” in petal pink, pool party, mango melody, soft suede, basic white and very vanilla. 1/4” sheet of gold foil

Each square showcases a different season, so I only used the dies for this.  The hardest part for me is always color coordination.  This is how I solved the problem.  I die cut ALL THE PIECES from the dies set (except the background die) in just about all the coordinating colors.  Then I just played around with what I thought worked best.  Here is the final result and of course I used basic rhinestones and pearls to embellish each panel.

To show how fun and versatile you can make these frames, here are the inserts I made for me class.  My apologies for using many retired products.

     

    

I hope you enjoyed my “all about paper” projects!  Don’t forget, comments of any kind (well hopefully nice ones, lol) are greatly appreciated. When you are done here be sure to hop on over to Jean’s Blog.

See you next month!
