Stamp with Michele

Guest Artist- Barb Culbertson

Barb brought this card to show me about a week ago.  So glad to see she is using some of her Stampin Up product she purchased longer ago.  I love it and if you haven't figured out what she used to make the flower & stem, it is the Bird Builder Punch. 

 

Stampin Up product used:  Big Shot, Lattice Bigz Die, Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Whisper White Textured cardstock, Bird Builder Punch, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Real Red 5/8" Satin Ribbon. 

 

 

 

 

Guest Artist- Nancy Carpenter

Although Nancy is in a much warmer place right now she had showed me this card prior to leaving & I had not showed it yet.  Thought it was a perfect time due to the snow we just received yesterday. 

Isn't it just adorable? 

 

Punch art is so fun.  How many different Stampin Up punches can you see used here?  I see at least 7 without too much looking.  Love also the Basic Pearl she added to the snowflake. 

 

 

 

 

 

Have a great Friday!

February Stamp a Stack- Creative Elements

I can't believe my February Stamp a Stack is next week already.  I know the RSVP is today but I do have spots open so will still take them until 9pm tomorrow so I can cut it this weekend. 

 

I was asked to come up with a tag for a customer so she could use it as a business card.  I ended up liking the tag & decided I could add it to a card and use it as my last Stamp a Stack card. 

Stampin' Up! product used:  Creative Elements stamp set, Big Shot, Two Tags Bigz Die, Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, First Edition Specialty Designer Series Paper, Victoria 5/8" Crochet Trim, Vintage Trinkets, dimensionals, Mini glue dot.

This card is a partial case of a card I found online.  I did change up a few parts of the card but it is the same layout & colors. 

 

Stampin Up product used:  Stampin Up stamp set Just Believe, Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Boho Blossoms Punch, Basic Pearls, Cheerful Treat Hostess Designer Series Paper, Old Olive 1/2" Scallop Dots Ribbon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

February Stamp a Stack- Sprinkled Expressions

 Here is another fun card that could be used as a graduation card but also just for someone who accomplished something & you want to share it with them.  I used my Simply Scored to make the lines around the outside of the card.  The glittery star on there was our silver glitter paper but it you see it in person you will see a yellow tint to it as I had sponged it. 

The best part is the stamp set was free.  It is in the Saleabration Brochure & now through March 31st you can get it free if you put in a $50 order. 

Stampin Up product used:  Simply Scored, Stampin Up stamp set Sprinkled Expressions, Silver Glitter paper, sponges, Poppy Parade 1/2" Stitched Poly Ribbon, Pocketful of Poies Designer Series Paper, dimensionals, retired small star punch.

 

 

February Stamp a Stack- I Dig You Masculine card

I received a beautiful Convention swap card this summer from another demonstrator Michelle Halleen who made a Twisted Easel card.  Her card is pictured below mine.  I loved all the colors & thought it would be the perfect boy or masculine card. 

Stampin Up Product used:  Stampin Up I Dig You stamp set, Well Worn Designer Series Paper, Modern Label Punch, dimensionals, Basic Rhinestones. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

February Stamp a Stack- Loads of Love Masculine card

Many of my customers are always looking for nice masculine cards.  I found a similar card using some different Designer Series Paper so I changed up the colors and the paper. 

Stampin Up products used:  Pocketful of Posies Designer Series Paper, Loads of Love stamp set, Loads of Love Accessories stamp set, Watercolor Paper, Watercolor Wonder Crayons, Aqua Painter, Night of Navy 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, dimensionals, glue dot & 2 circle punches. 

 

Just wait until you see tomorrows Stamp a Stack card.  It is another masculine card & it is called a "Twisted Easel" card.  You will just have to come back to check it out.   

 

February Stamp a Stack card- Love & Laughter Wedding Card

I had so much fun playing with some of my new toys a week ago.  This uses a new stamp set from the Occasions Mini called "Love & Laughter".  I think it could be used for a wedding, wedding shower, anniversary or engagement card. 

I am so loving the Saleabration Designer Series Paper called "Everday Enchantment".  I stamped on one piece after cutting it with our new Labels Collection Framelit Die & Big Shot. This piece was also sponged & several Basic Pearls were added.  I then took a piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock & used the tiny hearts Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing folder. 

I will also have an option to stamp some flowers with the Bordering on Romance stamp set if you don't want to use this stamp set for the Stamp a Stack.

 

 

 What do you think?  Want to come stamp with me?

 

Happy Valentine Day & Guest Artist- Nancy Carpenter

Nancy is down south for a couple months but prior to leaving she left this cute Valentine treat bag for me with a couple Ghiradelli chocolates in it.  How sweet. 

She used a taller sack but cut it off.  The Whisper White cardstock was crimped & sponged.  She used a retired stamp set, Big Shot, Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit Die, Basic Rhinestones, Cropodile & Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon. 

 

Can't wait for you to be back Nancy.

Downline Meeting & Sneak Peeks

I am so mad at myself.  I put my camera in my car in the morning so I wouldn't forget it & then left it in the car & forgot to take pictures.  With that said, I think all that attended agreed that we had a wonderful time.  I will share with you what my mother & myself received from a couple of them. 

Yvonne made the card using the Stampin Up retired Love You Much stamp set & Sarah made the Valentine Treat box using the Candy Conversations stamp from the current Occasions Mini & was using up some retired Designer Series Paper from a couple years ago that I loved. 

Thanks to both of you.  Not expected, but appreciated.

 

 

For our stamping time at the meeting we focused on a new product not even out yet as I had won it at Leadership.  Demonstrators can't even preorder it until February 20th so I have felt very special.  I had already shown the cute little treat basket last week on my blog that they all made but then they also were able to make the below card which used the Faux Tile technique.  Not only did it use the Sneak Peek Simply Scored Diagonal Plate but also a stamp set called "Everything Eleanor" that will be in the next new Catalog.  Also used on this card is some Baha Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon, the Antique Brads & Basic  Pearls.
