A Little Lace SIP Card - Stamps Ink & Paper

 Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a card that I made to send out to three of my Kinsmon Crafters Team members that just had their Anniversary being a Demonstrator.  So, I wanted to make them a little card to celebrate the occasion.  It took me a little while to figure out what set to use but I ended up using the A Little Lace Stamp Set.  I love this stamp set but haven't used it a lot so I thought it would be perfect for these Stampin' Anniversary Cards.  Here's a look at the card.  

I created this card so just using Stamps, Ink, and Paper.  This would be a great beginner crafter card and one that is easily mass produced because it is just stamps ink and paper.  I started out by cutting all the paper for the three cards.  My card base is Cinnamon Cider Cardstock cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  I then took a piece of Whisper White Cardstock that was cut at 3 3/4" x 5" and stamped the lace image onto it using the hinge technique and my Stamparatus using Cinnamon Cider Ink.  

I then attached it to my card base with Stampin' Seal Adhesive.  Next I stamped the floral image from the A Little Lace Stamp set onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock cut at 3" x 4".  I used my Wink of Stella to color the large flower.  This gave a little bit of a color wash to the flower and made it stand out just a little bit more.  I love the slight watercolor effect that this gives to the cards, and it adds a little more interest.  I attached this panel to a 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" piece of Cinnamon Cider Cardstock and popped the panel up on the front of the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.  

You can see in the above picture how it adds dimension to the card.  To finish all the cards off I will add a piece of 4" x 5 1/4" Whisper White Cardstock to the inside so I can write my personal message to each of my team members that just celebrated their anniversary with the team and Stampin' Up!.  Let me go ahead and mention that if you spend anywhere close to $100 on your Stampin' Up! orders then you should join my team and start getting a discount on your orders as well as all the other benefits to being part of the Kinsmon Crafters and Stampin' Up! family.  You can read all about the benefits here.  You get $125 in products with your choice with free shipping on your starter kit for only $99.00.  It's the Ultimate Deal all the time!

My Meadow Happy Birthday Card

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am sharing with you a card I made this week using the My Meadow Stamp Set.  I can not believe that I've not played with this stamp set since I got it back in November at Centerstage.  I think I was a little intimidated by it.  I thought it would be a little harder to create with than it really was.  But it was quite easy.  Here's a look at today's card.  



All I used for this card was the stamp set, a little ink, and a little cardstock.  I know right!  Can you believe that this was created with just stamps ink and paper.  I started out by stamping the gazebo in Soft Suede Classic Ink where I wanted it to be.  Then I added the ground in Pear Pizzazz Classic Ink.  I stamped it a couple times and decided where it overlapped looked likes little hills.  


Next I stamped the set of tree trunks in the background first.  Then I stamped the larger tree trunk in the stamp set in the foreground.  All the tree trucks were all stamped in Soft Suede Classic Ink.  I then added the leaves with a combination of first and second generation stamping in Garden Green Classic Ink on to of the trunks.  I then stamped the water with Coastal Cabana Classic Ink in the foreground.  I justed used one stamp to create the water.  I just flipped it around to fit into the each area.  


To finish off the card I added the stamped background to a Pear Pizzazz mat and stamped the sentiment onto a Pear Pizzazz piece and made a fishtail banner.  I popped the sentiment up on Stampin' Dimensionals.  I added the completed matted card front to a Garden Green card base.  And that finished the card.  Thanks for dropping by today if you need any of the supplies you have seen today you can pick them up in my online store by clicking on the items in the shopping list below.

Celebrate Sunflowers Note Card

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you little sneak peek of some upcoming products with a note card that I Made using the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set, from the 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  Here is a look at my project for today.

Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set: 

The Celebrate Sunflower (New in the 2020-2021 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog: will allow you to honor and celebrate friendships with heartfelt sentiments and a stunning set of sunflower images.  The stamp set features wonderful line art sunflowers and leaves that are perfect to color with your favorite coloring media.   The large sunflower image is great for a card front as well as elements on your cards.  I featured it today on my note card.

This is a cling mount stamp set so it will stay in place on your block no matter what you are using it for.  There are eight stamps in the set four of which are line art images.  You have the large sunflower, which is one of my favorites, a smaller sunflower image with leaves attached, and two sets of different size leaves.  Along with some great mixed font sentiments.  The deeply etched images will give you excellent detail as you can see with my little note card today.

Note Cards Perfect for Any Reason: 

I used the large sunflower to stamp all over my note card in Daffodil Delight Classic Ink.  I stamped it in a triangular pattern to add visual interest to the note card.  I then added the large leaf image stamped in Old Olive Classic Ink to fill in some of the white space on the note card.  This is a perfect example of some simple stamping.  Anyone could create this not card, from beginning crafters to someone that has been doing it for years that just needs to make a bunch of cards quick.

I love to make note cards for some occasions because they are the perfect size to be tucked into someone’s lunch, bag, or anywhere.  Plus, they come in a pack of 20 with envelopes so you have plenty to work with.  Another great thing about them is they are ready for you to make and send, no cutting needed if you do not want to add any additional layers.  I only added one additional layer to my note card today.  I stamped the sentiment on a piece of Daffodil Delight Cardstock after stamping the sunflower image on it.  First, I stamped the sunflower off before stamping on the 1 1/16th x 2 ¾” piece of Daffodil Delight Cardstock.  Next, I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive Classic Ink and cut a fishtail banner on one end.  I added it to the note card with a couple Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To finish off my note card I did stamp the large sunflower on the front of the envelope to have a matching presentation to the recipient.  I also stamped it on one corner of the flap.
