Greatest Journey

Have you ever fallen in love more with the dies than with the stamp set?

That is how I felt when I first saw this suite. It was the dies that drew me to them. Maybe because my family is very outdoors and we love to camp, hike and bike and I thought these would be perfect to make cards for them and scrapbook pages. When I started to play with this stamp set I really wanted to use the blending brushes in a unique and different way. I chose to use the dies to cut out a template that I held to create a layered effect on the card. Rather than having a blended look by using the template I was able to create depth to the background without adding more layers. I finished it off by layering cardstock that I embossed the saying on with white embossing powder and the used one of the die cut images as a focal point.

I originally created this card as a swap with my Stampin’ Up! team and I’m happy to report that I was one of the winners of the swap with this card. Here is a close up picture where you can see the detail better.

After creating the card for the swap I decided I wanted to see what I could come up with using some of the other images and sayings in the set. Here’s what I came up with. What do you think? I still like the first one the best, but I like these as well. I know I’ve said this before, but I’m sad this one didn’t carry over from the mini catalog as I think it’s a great set and I love the dies.

Uniquely Artistic

Uniquely Artistic is another stamp set that I received as a gift and wasn’t sure what to do with it. I struggled with the ideas a bit but thought that it would be the perfect set to pair with the Thanks and Hello embossing folders that are also retiring. Rather than stamping a greeting I used the Wink of Stella to highlight the word I wanted to focus on as you can see it the closer up image.

141897 – Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush (C)
Colors – Crumb Cake (C), Soft Suede (R), Old Olive (C), Pear Pizzazz (R), Basic White (C)

(R) Retiring, (C) Carrying Over

I went with different colors and a slightly different look for the other embossing folder and image but kept the same basic idea of highlighting the word with the Wink of Stella. I used the trim from the online exclusives and some vellum cardstock to add depth to the flower image.

Happy Birthday

Did you know that today is my birthday!

Yep it is and to celebrate I wanted to share with you three different birthday card sets featuring retiring stamp sets. This first set is my favorite; however, one of the things I like about all these cards is that the layouts are mostly interchangeable. I’ve used the current In Colors on all these cards. While these colors will be around for another year, many of the accessories are not so I recommend grabbing them soon before they are gone (if they aren’t already.) There are three cards for each stamp set as there are three main images in each set. Also, each set uses the same layout but each card is twisted to show the versatility of the layouts.

Party Puffins

This set features a pocket to hold a gift card or cash for a quick and easy gift. I love how easy it is to create this pocket. I actually saw a tutorial for it on Facebook. I will work to get a video done to show you how easy it is to create this pocket. One of my favorite parts of this set of cards is the background. Even though the colors are all different the background is created the same way. I actually used a VersaMark pad and clear embossing powder rather than stamping it with the ink. This is what gives it the shine that you see. I also added shine to the penguin birthday hats using the Wink of Stella Brush.

Colors – Sweet Sorbet (C), Parakeet Party (C), Tahitian Tide (C), Starry Sky (C), Orchid Oasis (C), Basic White (C), Basic Black (C)

This Birthday Piggy

I featured the In Color designer series paper for this set of cards and a design that uses a half cut front. The part that is cut off is actually scored and placed under the background paper to create the part that flips over the card you can see this in the open section. I made sure to include the greeting beneath the flipped section. I will admit that I used the dies that were available a while back to cut out the images rather than fussy cutting them. They were available on the clearance rack, but I’m not sure if they are still there.

Elephant Parade

I got this fun idea from one of my fellow demonstrator Michelle Pepper. Again I mixed up the layout to show the same concept different ways. This stamp set doesn’t have as many stamps that work for birthday sayings so I did bring in a different stamp set for one of the sayings, but it does have other saying that you can use to create a variety of cards. I used the Wink of Stella Brush again to add sparkle to the balloons and the background is created using the In Color Glimmer paper. Just a note be sure to stamp your creating before you emboss your background to make sure you get a clear stamped image.

Nothing’s Better Than Stamp Set

I fell in love with this stamp set from the first moment I saw it, but in the time that I’ve had it I’ve struggled to actually create with it. This week the Global Design Project has a color challenge #GDP389 which included the colors Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie & Tahitian Tide. When deciding what retiring stamp set to use I thought that the cocktails in this set would make for a perfect. Honestly, I love how it turned out. I know that there are stamps in the set that you can use to fill in the element of the cocktail glass however I decided to used my markers instead. This allowed me to have different levels of liquid in the glass. To add a bit of sparkle I finished them off by coloring them with the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush. Which just so happens to be one of my favorite ways to add a bit of sparkle to a project. This set has so many great words that I just had to use multiple on the card. I also could resist stamping on the inside of the card as well.

When I’m creating I often struggle with coming up with a layout. I’ve turned to creating my own challenge which is to choose a design layout from my collection in my Pinterest board. I also have a board for color combos that I will use when needed. I turned to this board when trying to decided on a layout for this design. I love Pinterest for ideas. It’s a great place to get inspiration. I also use the catalogs, follow other stampers on Facebook and blogs, and sometimes search the internet or just look around me. What do you use for inspirations when you are feeling stuck?

After making my first card I decided to challenge myself to make more cards using this stamp set and the same color combo. The hard part was in my mind this color combo didn’t really work with the other words and images in the stamp set. This meant I needed to think a bit out of the box to create these cards. I also challenged myself to continue to use layouts from my Pinterest board. Can you figure out which layouts I used? The last challenged I used was to incorporate more retiring product including, dies, embossing folders, colors and embellishments. I’d love to hear which design is your favorite. If you take a moment you’ll see I tried to use almost every stamp and every die to create these cards. Again I stamped the inside of each card and I used multiple of the different sayings.

Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set

For these cards I challenged myself to create simple cards using only stamps and inks. Stampin’ Up! refers to this a simple stamping. I thought this stamp set worked perfect for this type of project. I actually struggle not to add ribbon or embellishments to a project. One of the nice parts about these cards are not only are they inexpensive and fast to create they are totally flat so you don’t have to pay extra to mail them out. Sending a card in the mail has become somewhat of a lost art. I’ll say I’ve even slacked at it, but I love getting in the mail and need to remember others do too.

I used the blending brushes to add a pop of color to the monochromatic design. Have you tried the blending brushes yet? The more I use them the more I love them. Originally I thought that you could get all the ink out of them and while that is true to an extent I have found that it doesn’t completely go away so I try to use a different brush for color families. I would love to have a brush for each color – but like many of you that’s not economically something I can afford. Besides that there are some any other products I want. One thing I have liked is that we now have the small blending brushes. I actually prefer these ones. You can find them in the current mini along with the storage for them; however, the best news is that they are carrying over to the main catalog.

Amazing Silhouettes Stamp Set

I was given this stamp set at a Stampin’ Up! event and I will be honest I wasn’t really sure what to do with it. Because it had three different images I challenged myself to create a different card using each image. I also wanted incorporate other retiring product and realized it was the perfect opportunity to highlight background stamps, embossing folders, dies and word stamps. I even used one of our online exclusive embossing folders. Recently Stampin’ Up! introduced new products that are only found online. Be sure to check them out on my website when you are ordering your favorite retired products. I’d love to hear your thoughts on these projects.
