Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a card that I have been waiting to post for months, and it just was the right time today. For this card I used the Follow Your Dream bundle and Country Floral 3D embossing folder. Here's a look at the card.
You may be wondering how I got the large multi colored dream die cut. Well it was super easy and you probably didn't think about it either. I hadn't until I saw a video from Jenifer McGuire. All you have to do is save your messed up stamped images. Yes, that's correct if you save your stamped images that are just not perfect or not right. All you have to do is run them through with the die you want and when you get done you have a multicolored image. Yes, I know super simple and so over looked.
Once I added the die cut to the area I wanted it to be. I stamped the Big from the stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink. I ran a piece of whisper white cardstock through the big shot with the Country Floral 3D folder trimmed it down to the size needed and matted it on a piece of Mint Macaron Cardstock. I added everything to a Thick Whisper White Card base (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2). I added a thin strip of champagne foil right above the embossed image to break the two picture plains and to add just a tiny bit of shimmer.
Sadly this bundle is on the Last Chance List! So if you want it you need to order it. The bundle is only around while supplies last. So once the dies sale out then the bundle will not be there available after that. Stamp Sets on the Last chance list will be guaranteed until May 24th then after that they will be while supplies last. We have already been told that the Country Floral 3D embossing folder would carry over into the New Catalog.
I hope that seeing my card gives you a reason to start keeping all your miss stamped images to use for die cutting. I hope that you have enjoyed today's post and that you will give it a try. If you want to get the Follow Your Dreams bundle you can pick it up in my online store by clicking on the image below.
Hello and welcome to my Blog and YouTube Channel, today I am going to share with you a few alternative projects for the April Paper Pumpkin Kit. This month's kit was called Sentimental Rose and featured our first distinktive stamp set in a Paper Pumpkin box. I used just the stamp set from this month's kit a piece of 12 x 12 Whisper White Cardstock and five coordinating ink pads and cardstocks to create 10 different cards using just the stamp set in this month's kit. Here's a look at all the cards.
So let's talk about the stamp set that came in the kit. It features a large photopolymer rose stamp that is in the distinktive style of stamps (which means that its a photorealistic stamp). It has all the different shading already detailed in the the stamp. You also have great sentiments, and a lovely leaf image. You can see both on today's projects.

Tips & Tricks:
This month instead of cutting pieces of the kit apart to create the 10 alternative projects I wanted to focus on the distinktive stamp set instead. So I used a piece of 12 x 12 Whisper White and created my own piece of designer series paper and then created a super easy one sheet wonder to create the cards. I only had one small tiny piece of scrap left that I tossed; everything else went into making the cards.
In addition to the 12 x 12 piece of whisper white I used five coordinating pieces of cardstock (So Saffron, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo, and Gray Granite. I also added a few scraps of whisper white to create the sentiments. I created most of them to be thank you cards since I need them most, but did add a couple additional sentiments to the last two.
Each piece of cardstock was either scored at 4 1/4 or 5 1/2 depending on which way I wanted to make the card bases. You all know there's basically two style card bases landscape (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4) or Portrait (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2). Most of you know that portrait style is my favorite and I tend to go to it more than most. Here's a look at all ten cards that I made with the One Sheet Wonder Template above.
This is one of the things I like about card making you can get so much out of just a few products. Plus using additional items or items from one of our kits makes it even easier. Paper Pumpkin kits are a great way to go if you've never crafted before, or you don't have a lot of time to craft these monthly subscription kits are perfect. They come with everything already to go. And the great thing is they only take about 45 to a hour to put together.
I love them and I love showing you alternative ways to get more from your kits each month. I hope that you are enjoying this series. Next month's kit is a very special kit! It's called Hugs from Shelli and was designed by Co Founder and board chair Shelli Gardner. I got to do a make & take of this kit while I was at OnStage Charlotte, and what I got to see of it I loved. If you missed that post you can click here to see it.
If you want to get this kit you have to sign up by May 10th; but I think that it may sell out before that date. That has happened in the past for exclusive kits so this may just be one of them that does. So all I am going to say is if you want this kit sign up now don't wait till the 10th because it may just be gone by then. Thanks for dropping by.
Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share a really fun card that we made last weekend at OnStage Charlotte using the Follow Your Art Suite in the upcoming 2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. This catalog will release to customers in June. I just wanted to share with you a little sneak peek at the make & takes that we made during the week.
This suite of products where designed with crafters in mind. You have such fun images both in the stamp set and the designer series paper. We used both on this make and take. We will take a little closer look at some of the products a little further down in this post.
In the stamp set you have this wonderful stack of ribbon that has this wonderful ribbon heart coming off one spool. This is such a great image to show how much you love crafting. The images also have a lot of different craft tools in it that you create customized cards for any crafter. The image below will give you a little look at what's in the suite. There are some fun products inside.
You can see how using these products can lead to creating a wonderful card. Or if you wanted to create a bunch of cards you could use the embellishment kit along with a set of note cards and stamp the sentiment and use the embellishments alone on the cards. Place them back in the box and you have a great gift to give. But that's a post for another time; I guess we need to be talking about the make & take I did right.
You all know if you follow me that I do love stamping the background of the card base sometimes and when we did this at OnStage it just made my heart sing. I can't wait to play with this suite a little more. Remember that these products I've been showing you this week are not available yet. As a customer you want be able to get them until June; but if you join my Kinsmon Crafter Family you can preorder select products in May from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. If you are interested in doing so you can contact me and I will be happy to answer any questions or you can simply click here on the FAQ page on my website.
Thanks for dropping by today, I hope that you have a Happy Easter Holiday and I hope that you have enjoyed my little sneak peek of the make & takes we made at OnStage over the last weekend.
