ICS BLOG HOP-FALL FUN!

                                         

     

Hello hoppers! Welcome to the Fall Fun Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop! This month we are welcoming Fall in-although I'd rather stick with summer personally! lol There is so much beauty & fun in fall tho. I hope you check out the creations by this wonderful group of independent Stampin' Up! demonstrators!

Here's my card:

So I am featuring the most beautiful Splendid Autumn 6x6 DSP!! OMGOSH if you haven't seen it you are missing out!!! It is so gorgeous!!! It completely stands on it's own without any major "extras"! 

I love this technique! No idea what it's called, but it sure is purty!! It reminds me of looking through a blind at the beautiful scenery!  This is one I wouldn't say no to sending to a guy. It's very simple, & landscapes are totally neutral!

Not a ton of supplies used here other than the DSP! I used the                       Natural Tones Linen Thread, Faux Glass Dots, and the Everyday Greetings stamp set for the greeting! 

So I hope you enjoyed & feel inspired to check out this beautiful DSP! I love that it's in a 6x6 pack!

Now please check out the beautiful blogs listed below!!! I'm sure you'll find something that fits your fancy!!!!

Happy Stampin'!

NEW AT SU-CATALOG SKETCH INSPIRATION

Hello friends! This month on the New at SU Blog Hop we are using the sketches on page 22 of the new Annual Catalog as inspiration for our creations!!! This group of international independent demonstrators is so creative, but sometimes it's nice to let someone else do the "thinking" for us! If you haven't noticed these sketches then I suggest you take a look!!! There are some amazing ideas there!

Here's my card:

Here is the inspiration sketch:

Now using a sketch is really fun! It gives you a "quick start"! You can see here I simply turned the card to  landscape instead of portrait. You can "copy" the sketch exactly or use it as inspiration! I did copy it pretty closely here-just turned it!

So I had fun  using all my new In-Colors on this! I just LOVE working with the Decorative Layering Masks! I think they make such a beautiful image & they are so easy! This Layers of Beauty combo of mask & stamp set makes such a pretty card!!!!

The outline of the image is stamped using Basic Gray to help soften the image! The Blending Brushes are the perfect tool to use here! And the mask is so easy to clean when you are finished!  The beautiful Unbounded Beauty 12x12 DSP is the perfect paper to coordinate!!! So many options in that pack to work with here! I kept it subtle!

The only other materials used on the card are the so fun                               Metallic Enamel Effects Basics (Silver) pack-full dislosure-I can't stop using these!!  lol And the Baker's Twine Essential Pack!

Now please go visit the other blogs listed below to see how they interpreted these awesome sketches!!! I'm sure you'll get some super creative ideas!!!

Happy Stampin'!!

ICS BLOG HOP-ITS A GUY THING!

 

Happy June! As we are heading into the warmer days, we are also heading towards Father's Day! So this month this amazing group of independent Stampin' Up! demonstrators are bringing you "guy" ideas!  This is always a tough one for me! lol But let's see how we do!

Here's my card:

So for the guys I always say "less is more".   As a cardmaker, I love to add all the fun frilly stuffs to my creations! Well for the guys, that's a no-no! lol My theory is you can do it with either color or content (ie., stamp set, pictures, etc.)-just keep it simple!

This card has so little stamping on it! In fact, I had to dig through my stash to find sets with just a "happy" & "day" that were not to fancy! lol Found them on Something Fancy (there's irony there! lol) and Cheerful Daisies!

The DSP is the real star of the show here. It's the brand new                        Country Woods 12x12 DSP! I do love the "natural" look, and this DSP is all that!

The letters were formed with the Alphabet A La Mode Dies. Just popped up the panel & it give the "shadow" letters!

Embellishments are the '23-'25 In-Color Jute Trim Pack & the                   Metallic Enamel Effects Basics-silver! No fancy bling! Altho I do use the     Enamel Effects on many many cards!!!!

So I hope this gave you a good masculine idea! I know I'll be hopping through this hop for inspiration!  I always need ideas, and right now there's nothing in my stash to pull from in a birthday "emergency"! lol

Now hop over to Hawaii to Cheryl's blog to see what she has to share! I know you'll love it! Simply click on her name here or the icon below! Then keep going for some great "guy-spiration"!

Happy Stampin'!

NEW AT SU-COUNTRYSIDE CORNERS & SENDING SMILES

 

This month on our New at SU Blog Hop we are trying something different-we are CASEing each other!!! Yup! This group of International independent demonstrators is featuring our own wonderful creations! 

If you are not aware, CASE means Copy And Share Everything!! We find a creation by one of our amazingly talented hop-mates and CASE it! I was given the wonderful Rachael Coon over at The Joy of Stampin' with Rachael to CASE!!! 

So here's her creation I decided to copy:

If you click on either picture it'll take you directly to her post! Or just simply find her amazing blog from the links down below!!!

Here's what I came up with:

You cans sign your name on the bottom/Parakeet Party!

I didn't have a gift card handy so I just used a piece of white paper to illustrate!

Now it's always nice to have a "plan" when creating! I loved this gift card holder that she came up with!!! Now when CASEing you can copy design, colors, layout, etc.-just about anything in the card you like! I liked the design here but I don't have the products she used! So I pulled out some of my favorite retiring products to feature for one last time! So sad!

The retiring stamp sets are Sending Smiles, Perennial Postage &        Countryside Corners. I'm trying to use up my retiring In-Colors too! Gonna miss this Parakeet Party so much!!! The dies used are Sending, Scalloped Corners and Countryside Corners (the only on-retiring product on the card!!!) Throw in some Basic Pearls colored with the matching Stampin' Blends & ya got a nice embellishment!!!!

So hope you enjoyed this CASE! I'm lovin' Rachael's blog & hope you do to! Be sure to visit it!!!! As well as the other blogs below!!!

Happy Stampin'!

ICS BLOG HOP-FAREWELL TO 2022-2024 IN COLORS

 Well it's that dreaded time of year-saying goodbye to our 2022-2024 In-Colors! And yes, we will welcome some really pretty new ones, but it's always sad to see some go. This month on our Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop we are featuring some beautiful creations in homage to these colors that have been with us for 2 years!!!! Join us in their farewell!!!

Here's my card:

This card uses ALL retiring products! We are losing so many products this year! So many new & exciting ones coming though!

This card uses all 5 of the retiring In-Colors. My fave has always been the      Starry Sky. It's such a pretty, deep tone.  The stamp set has been with us for 2 catalogs & has been used quite a bit! I hate that the Scallop Contour Dies are going!!! I've used them so much! Such great backgrounds! Alas alack!

The image was embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. Also retiring. I liked how this one just gives that little bit of texture to the card. 

Lastly, the embellishments. The Metallic Woven Ribbon has been my fave ribbons for a long time! They are nice & thin-good for mailing! And so easy to tie! Hoping for some great new ones just like them! It's finished off with the dragonsflies from the Dragonflies & Birds Adhesives. I am literally shocked these are not returning!!!! They sold out so fast & I waited literally months for them to come back into stock!!! I would've thought they would still be around! Well don't be surprised if ya see one "flying" around on a future project!!! lol Love em!!

So time to say goodbye. I'll miss these and so many more retiring products. But look forward to welcoming some great new ones!!!

Now hop over to Janey's blog to see her goodbye! Simply click on her name here or on the icon below! Then keep going! I know you won't be sorry! Get some ideas to use up the retirees-to make room for the new ones of course!!!! lol

Happy Stampin'!!!

ICS BLOG HOP-EASTER LILIES

 

Happy spring! Well-almost! Here on the Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop we are going "springy" this month-Hopping into spring! I thought that would be a perfect time to create an Easter card!  What is more springy than Easter?!

Here's my card:

This is a "fun fold" of sorts.  I wanted to be able to add some interest to the oh so beautiful Easter Lilies stamp set & dies!!!! This one give a bit of interest with the front panel.  You can just sort of see it here. Hard to photograph it!!!

I simply cut out the center of the front of the card then used it as the top matte.  Stamped & embossed it using the Fern Embossing folder! I thought it went with the ferns that are stamped! 

Simply added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies embellishments to give it that special attention! The sentiment panel is cut from the Countryside Corners Dies.

Of course I had to finish off the inside! Had to make sure the image is in the middle as it's covered by the mat in the front! 

This is a super easy stamp/die set, and it looks soooooo pretty!!!! I think it makes a very special Easter card!

Hope it gave you a "springy feeling"!!! If you want more spring, hop over to     Terri's blog!!!! And keep going! I know I sure need a dose of spring!!!! Simply click on her name here or on the icon below! It'll take you on a "spring fling"!!!!
