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.

Colors – Crumb Cake (C), Soft Suede (R), Old Olive (C), Pear Pizzazz (R), Basic White (C)

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.

Love Cats Stamp Set

Today I thought I would jump over to a stamp set from the mini catalog that is retiring. Just a reminder that while some of the items in the mini catalog will be carrying over many are retiring with the main catalog so be sure to get your favorites be for they are gone. My daughter is super sad to see this stamp set go as she is a huge cat fan. I need to give the creativity of these cards to her. She wanted to stamp with me one day so I had her pick things out and help to figure out how to stamp them. I guided her a bit as she is only 11 but overall they were mostly her creations. I think she did a great job.

156485 – Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon (C)
155714 – Polished Pink 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon (R)
152709 – Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch (R)
149643 – Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder (R)
Colors – Polished Pink (R), Basic Black (C), Basic White (C)

(R) Retiring, (C) Carrying Over. (M) Found in the Mini Catalog

I bought the set specifically so she could use it for her valentine’s. We played around with a couple of ideas, ended up doing the project on the right which was attaching the image to one of our 3×3 envelopes. Before attaching it we punched a small hole in the bottom that we could put a sucker stick through. One of the things I loved about this project is that we used the stamparatus to make it easy for her to stamp the same image over and over again. I’m really sad that this tool is leaving as I haven’t had much of a chance to share it, but it sure can come in handy.

Butterfly Brilliance

After creating my video for my recent post on duel embossing techniques I wanted to try using the Butterfly Brilliance Stamp set that I mentioned my friend Alisa Tilsner used. I wanted the colors to be brighter those so I decided on more of a rainbow look. The card on the right uses the same wet embossing technique I showed how to use in the video.

The card on the left however is slightly different as the set doesn’t have an embossing folder but instead has a matching set of dies. The set has a set of dies that will cut out all the stamped images and it also has lined butterflies. For this project I used the blending brushes the same way to create the background and then used both dies to cut out the butterflies and place them over the background. I will be honest I love how this turned out.

I created this before I found out about the retiring list, however once I found the set and dies were retiring I new I need to share it right away. I’ve included a list of the retiring items so you purchase them before it’s to late.

155092 – Butterfly Brilliance Stamp Set (R)
155523 – Brilliant Wings Dies (R)
155052 – Biggest Wish (C)
158138 – White Frayed Ribbon (R)
160430 – Pool Party Grosgrain Ribbon (C)
159185 – 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds (R)
Colors – Mango Melody (R), Bermuda Bay (R), Polished Pink (R), Basic White (C)

Curvy Snowman Card

I created this card to show case some of the products from the quite curvy bundle that is available now through January 4, 2021. The Quite Curvy Stamp Set and Curvy Dies will be in the Jan – Jun Mini catalog; however, if you want the Christmas stamp set that I’ve used or the paper you’ll want to make sure to get it before this promotion is over.

I’ve created a video with step by step instructions showing you how to use the dies to create your own card with this unique way of opening. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Please feel free to share your creations in the comments or on my Facebook Page.

For your convenience I’ve created a PDF of all the products needed to create this project. I’ve also include the PDF with all the information about the Quite Curvy Bundles and promotion. Remember you can order them on my website at www.candiceanderson.stampinup.net.

In the video I said that I would create a card with the piece that I cut out of the pool party. I’ve use the designers series paper ( #155969 for $11.50) from the Quite Curvy Bundle to complete the card. I’ve also created alternate samples using the Warm and Toasty stamp set from the current Holiday catalog. I’d love to know your thoughts. Please share in the comments which stamp set you prefer the Snowman or Warm and Toasty.

Additional products used:

Warm and Toasty stamp set (#152615 for $22.00) from the current Holiday catalog
Snowman Builder Punch (#150643 for $18.00)
Snowflake Splendor 1/4″ Ribbon (153541 for $8.00) from the current Holiday catalog
Timeless Label Punch (#149516 for $18.00)
Wink of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897 for $8.00)
