Stamp Ink Paper: A Wedding

0

What do you give a friend that is an artist and her groom is a painter….LOL?  Is it obvious!?  I collect little charms and make my own chains to boot!  I then the charms when making cards.  On this card I used two cute little kissing love birds.  They are perfect for this wedding card because it has something old and something new and you can see what they are in The Details below.

If you need some inspiration for wedding cards then come on down to the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge and you’ll be sure to be inspired by our team designers. 

The Details:

  • New Stamp Set.  The sentiment is embossed with white embossing power to make it standout on the dark wood paper.  Keep a look out for the Colorful Season Photopolymer stamp set (143726). You’re going to love it.
  • New Designer Series Paper.  It’s better than the previous wood textures they had last year.  Stampin’ Up! continues to one-up itself (LOL)…..so, keep an eye out for the Wood Textures Designer Series stack.
  • Spilled Paint.  I made the spilled paint spots with the soon to retire Gorgeous Grunge stamp set, so get it while you can still buy it on-line.  You’d be surprised how many people will want it after it’s no longer available. It happens with each catalog.
  • Love Birds Bracelet.  I collect charms from all over the place and also buy them on-line.  I use them to make gifts and put on cards (obviously).  These are two love birds because it’s a wedding card.

Peek-a-boo: I’m Here for You

Here for You

We’ve all been in a place where we needed a friend and hopefully you’ve been there for a friend who has needed a friend and that friend was you. Did you know that sending someone a handwritten card provides more comfort that a text?  Try it sometime. =)

Here for you

The Details:

  • Another Brick in the Wall. I love that old song!  But hey, want to make the Brick Wall embossing folder different? Simply trim a brick out and stamp an image that will be seen through it.  How easy is that?
  • Give the Brick Wall an Old Look.  You can achieve a speckled look and give the wall some flare with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. It’s perfect and it does’t have to be perfect. 
  • Create a Vistor. Snip out another little creature on the front side of the wall so the one stuck behind the wall isn’t so lonely. LOL.  I stamped only one hedgehog from the Love You lots set and snip it and if you use a Stampin’ Dimensional it’ll look like it’s truly standing near the wall. I love it!!!

Happy Birthday: To A Classic Grandpa

Guy Greetings

Today’s card was custom made for a customer (Mark) in Alaska.  I even mailed it for him.  But what did the inside of it say?  Well, it was easy!  Mark texted me a written message which I printed and cut to size and adhered it to the inside.  Needless to say, anything handmade and custom is always loved.

Stamp, Ink, Paper: Come Sit By Me

0

Stamp Ink Paper

I seriously am the friend your friend warns you about before you meet me.  Once you get to me you too will become afraid of what will come out of my mouth without warning.  I think it began shortly after joining the military…my filter came off and never put it back on again.  But don’t worry, I’m always very pleasant and never mean-spirited, it’s always done in a professional manner to make you smile.

Stamp Ink Paper Challenge

I’ve really been wanting to use this stamp for such a long time.  It’s not Stampin’ Up! and I purchased it at a craft show a few years back. I can’t even remember who made it, except that it an old saying I’ve seen on t-shirts and coffee mugs.  I’d love for you to see all the other funny cards created by the fabulous Stamp Ink Paper crew here.

Stamp Ink Paper

The Details:

  • Make Your Own Wall Paper Background.  To make the wall paper I used the masking technique and stamped Wilma (not her name, I made it up) on a post-it and snipped her out and put it over the stamped image.  Then simply used the lines in Gorgeous Grunge to stamp in the background to give it the wall paper lines in the background.  It looked really plain when I stamped Wilma and created the background after I was done with the card.
  • Coloring. I made this card the night before I was leaving for vacation and I apologize, but I can’t remember which exact colors I used for Wilma’s clothing colors. But you can use your own favorite colors. I don’t know how to color coordinate…after spending 25 years int he military, I never color coordinated, I was just told what to wear….LOL.

You Make Me Smile With PPA 253

0

Smile1

Today’s sketch is brought to you by none other than the Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge #253.  Whew, this challenge was a definite challenge!  But I smiled through it all because without Stampin’ Up! I’d have to see a therapist and I wouldn’t be able to afford my hobby….LoL.  Funny, but not funny. HA!

PPA 253

Now, go on and check out what the rest of the designers came up with.  This challenge I’m dying to see.  Thank you Nicole Watt for keeping my creative side flowing.  These last couple challenges have been a challenge in say the least, but I LOVE EVERY ONE OF THEM!  If they weren’t challenging well, they wouldn’t be called a challenge right!

MAGGIE MADE TIPS:

  • The use of a sketch.  Whew!  Now this sketch was a challenge as previously mentioned.  But NEVER be discouraged when you are stumped.  Use it to your advantage to think outside the box!  Instead of cutting the Back to Black DSP the shape of the challenge shape, I use my Stampin’ Trimmer to create a cut out of the shape instead.  Isn’t that cleaver!?  😉
  • Contrasting texture.  I added a tiny bit of contrasting texture to my card by embossing the Real Red card-stock with the Chevron Embossing folder.  I didn’t want the pop of color to look plain.  Plus, it adds a mild 2-D effect to the designs in the DSP.
  • Where the sequin fall.  What do I mean by that?  When I add sequin to my master-pieces (that’s what they are…lol) I let the sequin fall from about 5 inches.  It’s easy to do too…hold a few in your hand above the card and let them go as if you’re putting sprinkles on a cake.

Occasions Catalog Ends This Weekend:  Don’t let yourself regret why you didn’t get an item you really wanted.  Then depending on how bad you want it…you’re gonna pay a little more and I know eBay prices are NOT what you want to pay.  I highly recommend that you take one last look at the 2015 Occasions Catalog and order what you really desire.  The majority of it is on sale anyway.

Creative Thinking (at noon today). The other night I thought and thought and then it came to me…how to pretty much earn a FREE membership. Join me for a 15 minute webinar to find out how to take Stampin’ Up! out for a test drive for free or just a couple of dollars.  This is only for non-demonstrators who do not have a Demonstrator and desire to join my Circle of Pals team. If you meet those two prerequisites, please sign up here.

NO CONTACT – What it means.  When you select “No Contact” when you place your on-line order with me it literally means, “Don’t tell Maggie I placed an order.”  This is a bummer for me because I can’t show you my gratitude for your order or send you product samples because I have no idea who you are.  When placing your order will you (pretty please) check the box that says, “YES, allow my demonstrator to contact me with order updates and other important information.”  Please know that I will never send you junk mail. Please send me a note if you have any questions.  I truly appreciate your business no matter how big or small it is very much appreciated.

A Red Birthday

0

Happy Friday my friend!  Like more than half the U.S. I love Fridays and like less than 10% of the U.S. I love Mondays too. HA!  For the last many (lost count) weekends I’ve been busy and although I often try to bring you a little something each week this week is just busy busy busy.

Birthday

However, I wanted to share the birthday card I made for my son’s birthday last Sunday.  Every year for that last few years I’ve made him a card in red.  Why? Yup, you guessed it… it’s his favorite color.  It was fast & easy as it has no frills or thrills, but he loved it!  A tap tap tap on some ink and presto here it is.  I love the clear photopolymer have you tried it?
