Birthday Club Cards

0

I joined a monthly birthday card club and each month I get to set three complete strangers a birthday card.  How does it work?  Once you join the club you’re assigned to a team.  You have to read the rules and then agree to follow them.  Basically, you send a card monthly to the people assigned to your team.  On my first month I sent these cards. I plan to surprise one or all of my birthday pals with a special engraved item.  If you’re interested in the birthday club, check out the group on Facebook at The Birthday Club.

  

How many of you buy the 12″x12″ designer series papers and then up with half or more than half left over at the end of the year?  It’s happened to me more often than not.  But now with making cards for the birthday club, I don’t think I’ll have much left over (LOL).

The Details:

  • Use the Reverse Side of the Design Series Paper.  Stampin’ Up! designs their products so that it all pretty much coordinates.  I used both sides of the paper to use up my paper.
  • Coordinating Colors.  To coordinate the contrasting colors, I used the colors from the main layer used on the card.  How easy was that!?  VERY EASY!

A LOOP HOLE THAT GETS YOU $26 IN EXTRA PRODUCT & FREE SHIPPING  You’ll NEVER ever have to make any sales and you just let your membership expire and do it as often as you’d like without any penalties.  Here’s how:

  1. Join as a hobby demonstrator with no risk and no obligation to purchase anything further.
  2. Stampin’ Up! will literally GIVE YOU an additional $26 in product…WHATEVER you want for only $99 (a $125 value).
  3. All that with the most important! FREE shipping.
  4. …and receive a FREE laser engraved bone folder with anything you desire as a welcome gift from me!
  5. Why not give Stampin’ Up! and my Circle of Pals a test drive and start building your $99 Starter Kit here.

Use Host Code above when you place an on-line order via my on-line store, but only if it’s under $150.  Do not use if your order is more than $150 because you’ll receive additional Host Rewards from Stampin’ Up!  As a “THANK YOU” for your order I’ll personally send you a FREE engraved bone folder when your order is greater than $75 before tax and shipping.

Stamp On!

Retired Stampin’ Up! Blog Hop: Fourth of July

0

Welcome to the very first blog hop made up of members from the Retired Stampin’ Up! Products for Sale Facebook page.  Today’s theme is Fourth of July and every project is made with retired Stampin’ Up! products.  We are very excited to show you our creations and hope to make our hops something that you will follow each month.

As a military Veteran, I’m VERY proud of being American.  As an avid stamper, I love any stamp set that has the American flag.  I also enjoy clean and simple cards that anyone can make.  Often a simple stamped image can speak volumes and I think my card with just the colored in flag oozes patriotism.

The Details:

  • One continuous stamped image.  Do you think the stamped image is one stamped image?  Nope, it sure isn’t.  It looks like one continuous stamp because I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the images and give the grass as if it’s one stamp.  I love the Stamp-a-ma-jig and how it can help you line up stamps on wood blocks.
  • Make an image pop.  Since today’s blog hop is dedicated to the Fourth of July, I wanted to add emphasis to the American flag by coloring in only the flag.  That’s the focus of my card and it’s why I didn’t stamp any sentiment.  The Red, White, and Blue speaks for itself. 

You can continue to hop from blog to blog from the line-up below to see all the projects.  Please feel free to leave comments as you hop along the way.  We hope to see you again next month!

Fellow consultant Brittany’s TRUE STORY made me giggle.
Reverse Regimen
She washed her face (with R+F products of course) before dinner,
at the table her husband asked,  “Do you have makeup on right now?”
She said, “No, why?”  That’s when he said, “Wow, the products really do work!”
She said he hardly noticed when she got a short haircut and died it brown. 😂😂

Stamp Ink Paper Challenge: In Style

0

Welcome to the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge Tuesday style! This post is coming to you from the road.  Yes, being retired has it’s perks and I’ve been out of the country for the last four days.  What in the world would we do without WiFi?

Sometimes, it’s not difficult to create a card for a sketch challenge, but it sure is difficult to choose which set you’re going to use.  Close your eyes and just pick one! That’s exactly what I did and I couldn’t be happier because it’s already one of my favorites.

Stamp Ink Paper Challenge

The Details:

  • Stamp it.  Seriously!, that’s how easy it was to come up with this technique (LOL). It’s what I love about layouts.
  • Where to place the sequin!? I think this was the most difficult decision I had to make for this card.  Wherever you decide to place your sequin, just remember don’t adhere them down to the carsick until you know for sure where they  belong.  Embellishments should add a balance to the card.  But in reality, does it matter? LOL, probably not, just don’t place them on the very edge of the card.  You’ll feel off kilter.

Use Host Code above and receive a gift from me when you place an on-line order via my on-line store.  Do not use if your order is more than $150. You will receive additional Host Reward and you’ll automatically receive a gift from me.

Stamp Ink Paper: Flowers (Gorgeous)

0

Today’s fabulous Stamp Ink Paper challenge is about flowers. I don’t consider myself a flower girl, but I just wanted to make these gorgeous paper succulents so bad!!!  I seriously am beside myself. I can’t believe I was able to make them.

Join us this week at the Stamp Ink Paper  with a card or a project….as long as they’re flowers, we’d love to see your creation.

The Details:

  • Dollar Store Deals.  I grabbed a bag of green moss and aqua foam for planters at the Dollar Store! Can you believe that?!  It was a perfect fit for the Succulent made with the Succulent Framelits.  I got the planter from a local craft store for $1.50 (it was on sale).
  • Three’s the Key.  You seriously don’t need any more than three. It’s a small to medium planter and makes the perfect give too.
  • Assembledge. After cutting out three sets, I sponged the edges of all the leaves with Perfect Plum ink and our finger sponge daubers.  I poked the two leaves at the bottom the flower through a toothpick and put a generous amount of multipurpose glue and let it dry for a few minutes.  I then glued the remaining flowers after running them across the bone folder to give them a slight upward curl, but not too much.  I did the same to the tiny flowers and after they were all dry, I simply poked them through the aqua from underneath the moss.  I dipped the toothpick in the same adhesive and it gently pushed it through the moss and foam.  The end result was the prettiest gift that I’m giving to a special person.

Winter Holiday: How’s it Hung?

0

Todays card was designed specifically for this weeks Stamp Ink Paper card challenge.  The design itself was easy, yet simple and what I love most about it is that the ornament can be gently removed and hung on a real tree.  It’s a gift and a card in one. Boom! Microphone drop!

The Details:

  • Tree Branch.  The tree stamp is from a retired set no longer available through Stampin’ Up!, but you can use any tree stamp you may have in your stash.
  • How is Ornament Hung?  When I showed my husband the card the first question he asked was, “How’s it hung?”  Well, I took a 6″ of the Gold Metallic Thread and looped it through the ornament.  Before tying it together, I poked two holes in the card with the Paper-Piercing Tool and ran the end of the thread in both holes. I used my favorite tweezers to assist in tying the thread and boom!  The thread is so thin it can barely be seen.  It’s why he asked how it hung on the card.
  • Perfect Stamped Alignment.  A few years ago I purchased a Misti tool to help me align my images.  But a few months ago my friend Justin told me that Misti now has a mini tool! OMG! I had to get it and I use it 9/10 times I stamp. It also helps the image stamp with more clarity and sharpness.  I never thought it was possible, but now I know the secrets of others. LOL.  You can gone one for yourself at the Stamp Ink Paper Store here.  After you use it, you’ll understand what I mean by a more clear crisp stamped image.  It has to do with the pressure applied when stamping.

Join us and post your Winder Holiday creation on the Stamp Ink Paper blog.

Stamp Ink Paper: Guitar Song #72

0

Thank You

This weeks starts off with no more Pals Paper Arts, but I have found a plug for the hole in my heart and you’ll see it real soon.  This week,  Stamp Ink Paper Challenge sings me a Stampin’ Up love song with the guitar from the Country Livin’ Stamp Set.

Stamp Ink Paper #72

You don’t need to know how to play a guitar to stamp it on a handmade card to send someone music for their soul.  Post your card here.

Thank You

The Details:

  • Wood Guitar.  To create a realistic wooden guitar, I stamped on the wood paper from the Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack and then hand-snipped it.  Looks super realistic and I love it don’t you!?

Stamp Ink Paper: Love

14232041_10153815158103531_6990823276322308668_o

I’m in Love with anything creative and handmade and so is the rest of  the Stamp Ink Paper Design Team.  Today we made our cards to reflect anything about Love and my card is a birthday card to my great-uncle who will turn 69 in a couple of weeks.  Join us this week and show off some LOVE at the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge blog.

Stamp Ink Paper

Sometimes I have no idea what my cards will come out when I’m not using a sketch.  So, I go at it blindly and so far, I’m always pleased with the outcome.  I’m a little jealous of card-makers who can whip out a card in an hour or less.  I totally admire their talent.  This one took me 2 days…oh my.  But, it’s the love I have for card-making that doesn’t matter how long or how little it may take.  Anything made with LOVE is totally worth it.

Stamp Ink Paper

The Details:

  • Sunken Heart Cutout.  After adhering the Playfull Pallette DSP to Basic Black Cardstock, I used a heart from the Sweet & Sassy collection to cut out the heart.  I then doubled up the Stampin’ Dimensionals to add height to the cutout.  The heart with the 69 was adhered to the base first before the frame before the Stampin’ Dimensionals were applied (hope that made sense).  Doing so allowed me to center it perfectly on the base.
  • Tricky Hello Thinlits. There are endless types of glue one can use to apply very thin embellishments, but know that you don’t need to purchase tons of different types of glue.  Stampin’ Up! has the most strongest Fine-Tip glue pen that works extremely well.  No need to run it through another type that requires another gadget. I love it!!!

Stamp Ink Paper: 3D Project, Tag or Home Decor!

0

Stamp Ink Color Toilet Paper Rolls

Happy Tuesday! Today’s two projects were made for the Stamp Ink Paper 3D Project, Tag or Home Decor challenge and my projects pretty much meet all three criteria choices, although they didn’t have to.  I’ve been saving toilet paper rolls for about two years now and now that I have no more room to store them, I better start using them.  The one on the left was made with retired paper with the exception of the cutest currently Mummy from the Cookie Cutter Halloween collection.  The candle I found on Pinterest.

This week I will make roughly about 80 of the fat pillow treats on the left.  Instead of just handing out treat for Halloween, I’ll be giving each child one toilet paper roll each. they will be filled with two candies a piece…or maybe three. I gotta see how many will fill in each.  Oh I can’t wait to see the looks on their cute little faces.

Stamp Ink Paper Challenge

After putting together the projects I realized that they were both 3D, both had tags on them and the candle is actually a home decor piece!  But you don’t have to do the same, just pick one and show us what you’ve made at the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge.

Cookie Cutter Halloween

The Details:

  • Toilet Paper Roll.  This is what two years of saving TP rolls gets you…a crafted candle.  I used hot glue to adhere the battery operated tea-light that can be purchased by the dozen at the dollar store.  I even put some on the Gingerbread kid’s forehead to give it the drip look.
  • The Sentiment.  Thank goodness the photopolymer gives a little flexibility because I bent it just so slightly so that it would stamp in the shape of the banner punch.
  • Doily’s Finishing Touch.  The center of the doily is a perfect fit on the TP roll and it can be cut with scissors to make it easy to slid it down.  To get it to adhere perfectly I cut small snips on the bottom of the roll and folded them outward and used a tiny bit of multipurpose glue so the doily would lay flat.  Does the make sense?
