September Tour de Freaks!

 It's time for the September Tour De Freaks!  We're primarily featuring products reflecting this time of year ... FALL & Holidays!  We love the items in the Stampin' Up! catalogs related to this time of year so grab a cuppa' and take the tour!  We have ten 'tourguides' this time so be sure to go all the way around the tour to see everyone's creations until you end up back where you began! Welcome also to all of you who have arrived from my very talented friend Debbie Henderson's blog.  Didn't you just LOVE her projects and artistry?!!

 One of my favorite things about fall (other than losing the 100 degree temps!) is the beautiful colors of the trees and shrubs.  When I saw the Vintage Leaves set in the Annual Catalog, I could imagine them in rich fall colors and knew right then that I "needed" this set! : )

The new Leaflets Framelits are fabulous to diecut these; lucky us, we now have TWO sets of leaves that coordinate with these framelits!

Stamps:  Vintage Leaves, Endless Thanks (sentiment)
Inks:  Hello Honey, Tangerine Tango, Mossy Meadow, Rich Razzleberry
Paper:  Delightful Dijon, Mossy Meadow, Cajun Craze cardstocks; Timeless Type DSP
Accessories:  Leaflets Framelits, Lots of Labels Framelits, Washi Tape Punch, Gold Sequins, AquaPainter, Gold Thread, Boho Chic Embossing Folder

I love cute little 3-D projects that are quick and easy to make; I was really excited to see the new Square Pillow Box Thinlits in the Holiday Catalog!  It is so easy to whip up these pouches that can be decorated any way that makes you happy; you can use it for treats, small gifts and even a gift card!   

I used my Bohemian Washi Tape to decorate this one (finally!  what took me so long to use it?!)  This pouch reflects some of the richness of fall colors that are so appealing:

Stamps:  Acorny Thank You set
Inks:  Rich Razzleberry
Paper:  Bohemian Designer Paper; Delightful Dijon, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla cardstocks; Gold Glimmer Paper
Accessories:  Bohemian Washi Tape, Bitty Banners Framelits, Acorn Punch, Gold Button, Bermuda Bay Twine, Woodland Embossing Folder.

Tour De Freaks!

Welcome to the June Tour De Freaks!  This month the group is featuring NEW products from the 2015-2016 Stampin' Up! Catalog!

You may have just arrived here from the talented Julie Davison's blog and I'm sure you enjoyed her wonderful creations!  There are fourteen stops on the hop this month so just grab your beverage and sip away while your tour through all the wonderful creations ahead!

I chose to mainly feature one stamp set, Friendly Wishes,  and one Designer Paper Stack:  Go Wild, and used other new items in the process as well!

I just love the designs in the Go Wild DSP Stack... it features some cool animal prints in it as well as other interesting designs!  This card could be used for a number of occasions and could make a good Father's Day card for one's hubby this Sunday! 

Stamps:  Friendly Wishes, Groovy Love sets
Inks:  Real Red, Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper:  Go Wild DSP Stack, Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper White
Accessories:  Sweetheart Punch, Hearts Border Punch, Silver Buttons, Silver Baker's Twine, Venetian Crochet Trim, Project Life Corner Punch.

My second card uses the colors in the Go Wild Paper Stack (Black, Tip Top Taupe, Whisper White) plus Hello Honey.  I used the new Triple Banner Punch to shape the ends of both banners... so easy, peasy!!  The sentiment was diecut with the Tags and Labels Framelits... Love how they layer!!  I did layer them once again on a piece of Black cardstock.  This card could also be used for a Father's Day card this Sunday!

Inks:  VersaMark
Paper:  Tip Top Taupe, Hello Honey, Basic Black cardstocks; Go Wild DSP Stack
Accessories:  Black Stampin' Emboss Powder, Heat Tool, Tags and Labels Framelits, Big Shot, Triple Banner Punch, Woodgrain Embossing Folder, Antique Brad, Hello Honey Bakers Twine (from Sale-A-Bration 2015).

My last card features another sentiment from the set as well as a print that reminds me of a giraffe's markings (It also comes in black in the DSP stack).  I was excited to break out a new set of framelits, Lots of Labels; I really like their shape and also how nicely this set of framelits layer.

I colored the words and heart with Stampin' Write Makers and punched out some coordinating flowers from cardstock for accents, then added a wrap of Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine.

Papers:  Watermelon Wonder, Whisper White, Hello Honey, Cucumber Crush, Tangelo Twist.
Accessories & Tools:  Lots of Labels Framelits, Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack (sm. heart), Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine, Basic Pearls, Stampin' Write Markers.

Next stop on your tour is the inimitable and creative Wendy Wexler!

Creative Blog Hop!

Welcome to my blog!  Today I'm participating in a Creative Blog Hop where I share my projects and my "creative process" then nominate two more stampers who will then next week share their projects and process with you!  I was nominated by Connie Babbert,  of Create with Connie and Mary fame; Connie and I have been stamping friends for, um, a long time, meeting in a small online group of stampers; we are still members to this day!  We have met at Stampin' Up! conventions a number of times, sharing dinner and swaps too!   Here's Connie's wonderful blog and the post she did last week for this Creative Blog Hop!

We traveled for Christmas so I couldn't get my pre-order of new Occasions Catalog products early; they arrived right after Christmas so I couldn't wait to begin creating with them!  Of course with Valentine being right on the horizon I wanted to jump in making cards for family who live away from me which I will need to mail early!

I had been wishing for an embossing folder of hearts and there is was in the new catalog!  YAY!  So sweet!  I paired it with a small black and white heart print from the Stacked with Love DSP, Strawberry Slush Baker's Twine, a Hearts Border Punch strip and 1/8" Black Taffeta Ribbon.

Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper hearts add some sparkle and pizazz!

My second card also uses the same color scheme... I love this Strawberry Slush color and am already dreading it's retirement this May!  sniff, sniff!  Isn't this butterfly fabulous??!  It's diecut with the new Butterflies Thinlits Die...there are three in the set!  The sentiment is from the new You + Me set and it has some really cute stamps in it... besides coordinating with the DSP stack!

I cut two of the largest Heart framelit, scored one horizontally just above the "dip" in the top of the heart then glued the portion above the score line to the front so the card will open easily.  The DSP was diecut with the second from largest Heart framelit.  I added some Strawberry Slush Sequins from the In Color Sequin Assortment to embellish!

OK, now to answer the questions...

1.  What are you working on now?
     I am working on card samples of sets I pre-ordered out of the Occasions and Sale-a-Bration Catalog!  I really like so many of the stamps and products and I'm eager to use them.  I'm also working on my challenge cards for Create with Conie and Mary Thursday Challenge Team as well as an upcoming Control Freaks Blog Hop.

2.  How does your work differ from others in your genre?
     I find that each stamper has her/his own style and I enjoy seeing what and how others create.  My style has also evolved over time and is influenced by trends in the industry such as colors, new products and techniques.  However, I tend to be pretty critical of my own work so if I don't think it's just right I will take it apart and re-do it or just start over!  I like vintage and shabby chic but find that more and more my style is more clean and crisp.

3.  Why do you create what you do?  
     Usually I create things because of a need:  to send a card for an occasion or just to lift someone's spirits.  I also create samples for workshops and other activities.  Sometimes it's to fulfill a request.  It is rare in my life to just get to sit down and create just for the fun of it but if I have some idea or inspiration rolling around in my brain itching to get out on paper, I'll somehow make time for it!  Mainly, I love to create and have been doing that most all of my life through various skills or crafts so I'll sneak it in somewhere! : )

4.  How does your creative process work?
     One thing is sure:  It varies!  I often will look through my stamps to find one that fits the occasion or theme then I might look for a layout or sketch to use with it.  For this I usually go to my Pinterest boards where I've saved some (ok, tons!) of sketches and get some ideas; usually I'll modify one to fit the stamps I've selected.  Next I'll select papers and color schemes.  When I start out and already have a color scheme, I usually first look through my designer papers and see if there is one that fits the color scheme; if not, I may stamp my own or use solid blocks of color, ribbons or washi tape.  However sometimes inspiration comes first which gives the impetus to create; for example one day I noticed the unusual colors in a lady's blouse then came home and used them to make a card!  I've also received inspiration from paintings, upholstery patterns and even the cover of a PB catalog!  : )  Right now I have a shopping bag from a store hanging in my stamp room because I love their logo design and plan to use it as the basis for a project, modified of course..  Inspiration is everywhere if you look!

To continue the fun and creativity of this blog hop going, I have nominated Deb Currier and Sue Erickson!  Deb is on the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge and Design Teams and has a wonderful clean papercrafting style!  I have known Sue for years and we have met both at Stampin' Up! conventions and also conventions which our husbands attended as part of their profession!   Sue has a lovely style and also uses My Digital Studio for many projects!  Deb and Sue will post next Monday, January 12 but you can see their blogs now by clicking on their full names above. 

Thanks for reading all this as I shared some about how my creative process works!  I'd love to hear about yours too!

Happy New Year  a few days late!

September Tour de Freaks!

Welcome to the September Control Freaks Blog Hop, aka Tour de Freaks!  We have a total of eleven fabulous stampers creating with a "Halloween Boo to You" theme for you this month!  Be sure to travel all the way around the hop; if you started with me, you'll end up back here and know you completed the tour!  You may have arrived here from Justin Krieger's blog; he does wonderful artwork!

The first card today features a pumpkin diecut with the next to the smallest Oval Framelit (3 pieces), embossed with the Stylish Stripes folder and decorated with leaves from the Fall Fest set and Linen Thread.  The boot and saying are from the Bootiful Occasions set which has four fun boots in it!  I used Blendabilities to add color to the boot and veins to the leaves.  The background DSP is Basic Black from the Neutrals Paper Stack.  I brayered the top with So Saffron and the lower quarter with Mossy Meadow.

 

This little BOO card scene has Island Indigo DSP from the Regals Paper Stack as the background.  The Fall Fest pumpkins are the In Color Tangelo Twist.  Our friendly little ghostie is also from the Fall Fest set, diecut with the Fun Fall Framelits, as are the pumpkins.  I used my Fringe Scissors to cut a little grass and added a few fall leaves.  BOO is cut with the Perfect Print Alphabet Bigz Dies and the Big Shot. I would use a letterl-sized envelop to mail this card since the ghost extends over the edge, or you could just trim it off and use the regular A2 size.

This little 3-D Pumpkin was cut with the Curvy Keepsake Thinlit Die from Tangelo Twist dotted Confetti Celebration DSP.  These are so quick and easy to make it's ridiculous and you can decorate them any way you want!  This one is simple:  I just used Mossy Meadow for the bow and a black bird punched out with the Bird Builder Punch!  

I guess I could have named this post "Pumpkins and Polka Dots" but when I started, I didn't know that's how it was going to end up!  lol!  That's the creative process, isn't it!!


Thanks for visiting!  Next up is the most creative and amazing Mary Brown!!

Four Feathers and More!

I'm excited to be on my first Control Freaks' Blog Hop!  Wow, what a talented group of ladies they are!  So you may have just come from Dawn Olchefske's blog but if you started here just click on the link on each blog to go around the loop and see everyone's projects!  Our theme this month is Simple and Elegant... I started rather simple but seemed to have gotten more "stuff" on my projects as I went along! 

I chose to use the new Four Feathers set and Framelits for my first two projects.  Here's my first card:

I used the feather framelits to cut into the Basic Gray to expose the Confetti Celebration DSP underneath.  The medallion is from the Starburst Sayings, stamped onto Brushed Silver cardstock then embossed with Silver Embossing Powder.  Happy Birthday is from the Endless Birthday Wishes set.

 Here's a little bit closer look;  a Bermuda Bay Candy Dot centers the medallion.

 
I clustered the feathers behind a greeting from the Blue Ribbon set, stamped in Calypso Coral layered on a Designer Label frame.  You'll see Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana and Crisp Canteloupe in the feathers and the thick Baker's Twine.  This is a simplified version; I pared it down a bit from the original!  lol!

Last is one of my favorite things made with the new Fry Box Die in the new catalog.  Although I didn't use the feathers here, I used a southwest theme to decorate this treat box using the Geometrical set, Fringe Scissors, Star Framelit and punch.  I filled a small cellophane bag with almond kisses and tied it up with Crushed Curry Chevron Ribbon adding a bit of Gold Sequin trim for fun!  These boxes are SO simple to make... I see lots of them in my future!  : )

The next person on the Hop is the amazing Wendy Weixler!  Click on the link to go to her blog; she will have some fab projects for you to enjoy!

You encourage me so much when you do! :) Check back often for announcements regarding future tours. Each blog on the tours showcases beautiful projects using Stampin' Up! products and may have a specific theme such as a mini catalog or the Spring-Summer 2009 Idea Book & Catalog.

My set for today is Friends 24-7. It is one of first sets that attracted my attention when the new catalog came out. Each of my three cards features a different stamp from this set as its focal point to feature the versatility of this set.

This first card uses the bird in a vintage style card. The Blush Blossom layer is stamped with the damask image in Blush Blossom ink; the edges are sponged lightly with gray ink and the top corners punched with the Eyelet Border Punch. This is layered over Sahara Sand which has been wheeled with the Friendly Words Jumbo Wheel in celery and stamped with the damask in Bordering Blue.

The focal layer is stamped with Basic Gray and colored with a Blender Pen and ink from the lid of the ink pads. One edge is treated with the Spiral Punch and sponged then layered on a Bordering Blue layer. Finishing touches are the Little Leaves stems die cut with the Big Shot, Basic Gray Taffeta Ribbon and a blue button from Button Bouquet assortment.

The ornate damask image is the focal point for my second card today. The card base is Baja Breeze layered with the simply stunning pearly white striped cardstock. This is "buried" (lol!) in the catalog in the Taste of Textiles Specialty Paper. This is a selection of unique papers unlike anything else SU carries, and they are fabulous! I regret it took me so long to come across them! Check them out yourself on pg. 156 of the catalog!

The damask image is stamped in Baja Breeze on Shimmery White cardstock (another often overlooked beauty!) A teal Ice Rhinestone Brad at the tip adds a touch of classy bling. The sentiment is from Hugs and Wishes set. This was placed on a Baja Breeze layer that has been treated to the Eyelet Border Punch. A bow of that gorgeous White Organza Ribbon

This is one of the cards from my recent Stamp-A-Stack using the Viola! set (#115102, $25.95, p. 45). Isn't this chef just great fun?!

He was stamped with Staz-On then colored with Blender Pens and reinkers using Blush Blossom (skin) and Riding Hood Red (scarf and cuffs). The cake was colored with the Pink marker and Red reinker and Blender Pen. Just the pants part of the stamp was stamped on the check paper, then the pants cut out and adhered to the matching part of the stamped chef to give him those great checked pants. Watch out, Mario!! (Do you watch the Food Network?!)

The cake was stamped on a scrap, colored, cut out then applied to the platter with Dimensionals. The candle flame was highlighted with glitter for some "fire"! : ) The greeting from the set was stamped on Kiwi Kiss then punched out with the Curly Label Punch and layered on another black punch for depth and emphasis, then attached with Dimensionals.

This set comes with three accessories to sit on the platter as well as two greetings. Viola To Go is an accessories set of six made specifically for the platter and could also be used in other ways too. A very fun and useful set! And great for a man-card also!

Stamps: Viola!
Inks: Staz-On Black, Basic Black, Bashful Blue, Blush Blossom, Riding Hood Red Classic Inks; Pretty in Pink Marker
Paper: Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White, Basic Black card stocks; Bella Rose Designer Paper (check), Candy Lane Designer Paper (dots)
Accessories: Photo Corner Punch, Curly Label Punch, Paper Snips, Blender Pens, Dimensionals, 2-Way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.

Thanks for visiting again today! Come back soon!

Friends 24/7 in Blue and Chocolate

Here is another card from my recent Stamp-A-Stack using a very popular set, Friends 24/7. And what a beautiful set it is! It includes this bird as well as a lovely damask stamp and others, six stamps in all.

I stamped the bird in Close to Cocoa on Whisper White cardstock then stamped the damask image in Sahara Sand around the bird like a background stamp. I added some color with the Stampin' Pastels and a cotton-tip swab, punched the corners with the Ticket Corner Punch and layered this onto Chocolate Chip with the corners also punched.

The card base is Sahara Sand. On a piece of Bordering Blue, I rolled the Friendly Words Jumbo Wheel in Sahara Sand for a very suble effect and adhered it to the card. A piece of chocolate dotted DSP was added to the base and Chocolate grosgrain ribbon was added to cover the seam between the two papers.

"Here for You" was stamped in Chocolate Chip on a small piece of Bordering Blue then punched out with the 1 1/4" circle punch and layered onto a 1 3/8" circle of white. This was layered on a Chocolate Chip punched scallop circle and dotted with the White Signo Gel Pen.

The bird piece was adhered to the upper blue portion of the card and the scallop circle adhered with Dimensionals.

Stamps: Friends 24/7 (#114218, $25.95), Friendly Words Wheel (#114696, $8.50)
Inks: Sahara Sand, Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa
Paper: Bella Rose Designer Series Paper; Bordering Blue, Chocolate Chiip, Sahara Sand, Whisper White
Accessories: Ticket Corner Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, 1 3/8 and 1 1/4" Circle Punches, 5/8" Chocolate Grosgrain Ribbon, Signo White Gel Pen, Stampin' Up! Chalk Pastels, Dimensionals.

Flight of the Butterfly

It's spring and time for fresh colors and butterflies! This is one of the cards I made for my Stamp-A-Stack last week; it uses a lovely and versatile set titled Flight of the Butterfly. What a fun set too! It is a "Two-Step Stamping" set where you stamp once then stamp a different stamp on top of that which is designed to add more dimension, color or detail to the first stamping. For example, I stamped the large solid butterfly in Pale Plum then stamped the flower stamp, which is the same shape and size, on top of that in a deeper color, Perfect Plum. This can easily be done with the Stamp-a-ma-jig for perfect placement of your layers!

The Designer Paper is from the Delicate Dots package which was a Sale-A-Bration premium product. I just love the soft and spring-y colors in it and this is one of my favorite patterns in the whole package! The Eyelet Border Punch used on white cardstock to make the eye-catching border is a great finishing touch! The butterfly "trail" is one of four sentiments in the set and is stamped in Old Olive ink.

Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly (#111564, set of 10, $31.95)
Inks: Pale Plum, Perfect Plum, Certainly Celery, Old Olive Classic inks (pgs. 154-5)
Paper: Delicate Dots DSP (Sale-A-Bration, retired); Whisper White, Pale Plum, Perfect Plum
Accessories: 1/4" White Grosgrain ribbon (#109025, 15 yds., $4.95); Stamp-a-ma-jig (#101049, $11.95), 3/16" Corner Rounder Punch #109047, $6.95), Eyelet Border Punch (#113692, $15.95)

Thanks for coming by for a visit! Please come back soon, and REMEMBER to come back Monday for sure for the new and innovative LateNightStampers BLOG TOUR!! You will begin here on my blog, travel via links to other blogs and end up back here when you finish!
