Let's Chat (the stamp set!)

Hello Crafty Friends!

Guess who totally forgot to update their blog this weekend?  This gal!  I made these cards on Thursday night using the Let's Chat stamp set from the Jan-Apr 2024 Catalog.  Unfortunately, it's not carrying over to any catalog or online, so get it by 4/30/2024 if you like it! There are no dies with this set, but it's not too terribly bad to fussy-cut the pieces.

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously.  

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it on YouTube.

My first card is a big one - 5 1/2" x 5 1/2", and it's a WOBBLER!  Yes, the entire telephone is on a wobbler.  I love those things!   I wanted a large card, because that gives a lot of room to write.  Plus this telephone seems so big, I thought a larger card would carry it.  I'll have to make my own envelope, but that's definitely doable.

I always get asked - where do I get my wobblers?  Here you go: Action Wobbles Mini – 100 pack:  https://amzn.to/3AG9nO0  I thought was the best value.  You could get a 48 pack for $13, or 100 for $19.  

Use the telephone cord to stamp a fun background.  

Paper measurements:

• Berry Burst:  5 1/2" x 11”, scored and folded at 5 1/2”
• Masterfully Made Designer series paper:  5 1/4" x 5 1/4"
• Basic White:  5 1/4” x 5 1/4”, for inside of card
• Berry Burst:  3 3/4" x 3 3/4"
• Basic White:  3 1/2" x 3 1/2"
• Basic White:  scrap to stamp/hand-cut telephone and greeting bit

Finish off with some Iridescent Pastel Gems

Stamps:  Let's Chat

Ink:  Pretty Peacock, Berry Burst

Paper: Berry Burst, Basic White, Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper

Other:  Iridescent Pastel Gems, Wobbler

The second card is a Circle Easel card.  SO cool!!!  You can make an easel card with ANY shape.  This is how it looks flat - and this just under a 4 1/4" circle, so it WILL fit into a medium envelope.  Stamping and hand-cutting all of the telephone pieces was the hardest part about this card...only because fussy-cutting can be a little tedious.  I got through cutting all of these pieces, but I don't think I would have been able to make more than one of these cards at a time.

Coffee cup is cut directly from a piece of designer series paper.

Paper measurements:

• Lost Lagoon:  (3)  4 1/4"ish x 4 1/4"ish circles  (You need 3 pieces to make the easel card base)
• Basic White:  4"ish circle, for inside of card
• Little Latte Designer series paper:  4"ish circle, plus 1 coffee mug to cut out
• Basic White:  scrap to stamp/cut telephone pieces and greeting

Here's what it looks like standing up front and then back - watch the video to see how to assemble all these pieces.

  

Back side shows you the scores, so the card opens up and still lays flat.

Stamps:  Let's Chat, Latte Love

Ink:   Lost Lagoon

Paper:  Lost Lagoon, Basic White, Latte Love Designer Series paper

Other:  Circle cutting system (Creative Memories), Pastel Iridescent Gems

Don't forget to Click on my Workshop of the Month page for full details of how you can get a Make-n-Take packet and FREE STUFF for this month's workshop.  This month's code is good through 4/30/2024.

I'll be featuring the Stippled Rose bundle this coming Thursday.  This is one of the bundles that is carrying over into the NEW catalog, but it will no longer be available at the bundle price.  If you want to save that 10%, get it by 4/30/2024!

Craft Roulette Challenge #209 - Nuts About You

I'm back at it!  Another Craft Roulette challenge finished. This is submission number 56 for me.

Find Craft Roulette on YouTube @CraftRoulette, subscribe to their channel, and play along when you can!  Every week is different and lots of fun!  

Episode #209 parameters, and how I met them:

• Project: Tri-fold Card
• Colors:  Sleigh Ride - I went with beige (trees or the sleigh itself), and white (snow)
• Element:  Joke(s) or Funny - Pun inside
• Random: Out of proportion - tiny card is 3" x 3"

Open the first fold - I mean...I could just leave the sentiment as is, and it would still be true.  HAHAHA!

Then the second - 

I added the peanuts to the front with a Mini Action Wobbler, and then finished with some Swirl Dots.

This 3" x 3" card is NOT mailable.  It's too small.  I'll have to put it inside a regular (medium) size envelope, OR leave it on the table for Dave.  :)

Supplies you'll need to create these (Stampin' Up, unless otherwise noted.  Items may be retired.):

Stamps:  Nuts About You (Unity Stamp Co)

Ink:  Basic Beige, Early Espresso

Paper: Basic Beige, Basic White, Sahara Sand designer series paper

Other: 1 3/4" and 2" circle punches, Decorative Circle punch, Swirl Dots, Mini Wobbler

Here's a fun little video of the wobble that I added -

April 2024 Virtual Workshop: Retirement Party!

Hello Crafty Peeps!

I hope you're enjoying your weekend!  This post is for my Retirement Party Workshop, which just aired Thursday night.  This is the yearly workshop that I focus on products that are RETIRING.  The new catalog goes live May 1st, so the Retiring Lists are out.  Everything that is retiring (stamps, dies, punches, papers, inks, reinkers, markers, all the things) is while supplies last.  

If you don't have the same products that I'm using, I hope you've got something similar in your stash that will do the trick.

Check out my Workshop of the Month page for details about my workshop, the ordering specials and the online ordering code.  Short version:  Use code PMEBDFWD when placing your qualifying order online this month and get some freebies!   

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously.  

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it on YouTube.

My first card features the Inked & Tiled stamp set, and coordinating papers - Inked Botanicals.  I've also embossed the background with the Timeworn Type embossing folder.  I'm having a hard time believing that folder is retiring, but it happens!

I've got 3 panels of designer series paper here.  Stamp and hand-cut the flower, and add a greeting.  You could also replace this flower with a die-cut flower, all in a solid color cardstock.  

Paper measurements:

• Lost Lagoon:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2”, scored and folded at 4 1/4”
• Lost Lagoon:  4" x 5 1/4", embossed with Timeworn Type folder
• Basic White:  4” x 5 1/4”, for inside of card
• Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper: (3) 2 1/2" x 1 1/2"
• Basic White:  4 1/4" x 5 1/2", notched corner to stamp and cut flower and greeting

Finish off with some Iridescent Pastel Gems

Stamps:  Inked & Tiled

Ink:  Lost Lagoon, Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral

Paper: Lost Lagoon, Basic White, Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper

Other:  Timeworn Type embossing folder, Iridescent Pastel Gems

On the second card, I've featured the Masterfully Made designer series paper and a striking die-cut.  This particular print has some ripped paper flowers on the back - use that side if you want.  If you're using your own stash, choose something that this black die-cut will look nice against.  Otherwise, a very simple card.

Paper measurements:

• Basic Black:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2”, scored and folded at 4 1/4”
• Basic White:  (2) 4” x 5 1/4”, for inside and front later
• Masterfully Made Designer series paper:  3 7/8" x 5 1/8"

Notice that I didn't poke all the bits out of the stems?  That was kind of a happy accident.  

Stamp the greeting and pop it up.  Another shocking retirement item - the Double Oval punch!  I've used that one a LOT.

Stamps:  Artistically Inked 

Ink:   Midnight (Catherine Pooler)

Paper:  Basic Black, Basic White, Masterfully Made Designer Series paper

Other:  Artistic dies, Double Oval punch, Iridescent Rhinestones

The third card is actually using some dies that are not from Stampin' Up.  I'm die-cutting a moose and a bear for all of the make-n-take kits.  You choose which one you'll use for this card.  The foil behind the trees is Rose Gold...forgot I even had it, and now it's retiring!

Paper measurements:

• Early Espresso:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
• Copper Clay:  4 1/16" x 5 5/16", cut with Aspen Trees die
• Rose Gold Foil:  4" x 5 1/4"
• Early Espresso:  scrap to die cut moose & bear
• Very Vanilla:  1" x 4"
• Very Vanilla:  4" x 5 1/4", for inside of card

Finish with some of the Rustic Metallic dots.

Stamps: Inked & Tiled

Ink:  Early Espresso

Paper:  Early Espresso, Copper Clay, Very Vanilla, Rose Gold Foil

Other:   Aspen Trees dies, Nature's Silhouttes #2 (Taylored Expressions), Banners Pick-a-Punch, Rustic Metallic dots

The last card is probably my favorite.  I got this design from Karen Titus, and I love it!  You'll cut your square of designer series paper into strips - whatever width you want.  I ended up with two the same width, but that was not on purpose.  :(

I'm including the punched out pieces for the ladybug in your kits as well.  You'll just need something to make the dots.  I used Sparkle Gems here, but you could stamp black ink with a pencil eraser, or any small circle - whatever you have to make dots.

I popped up the strips of designer series paper with foam, on top of the Crushed Curry.  Crushed Curry is glued down flat to the card front.

Paper measurements:

• Garden Green:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
• Crushed Curry:  3" x 4 1/4"
• Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series paper:  3 1/2" x 3 1/2" square - cut into whatever size strips you want.
• Basic White:  1" x 5"
• Sweet Sorbet/Basic Black:  scraps to punch ladybug pieces

Since I used the black Sparkle Gems on the ladybug, I didn't add any other gems or doo-dads to this card.

Stamps:  Artistically Inked

Ink:   Midnight (Catherine Pooler)

Paper:  Garden Green, Crushed Curry, Sweet Sorbet, Basic Black, Basic White, Fresh as a Daisy Designer series paper

Other:  Ladybug punch, Sparkle Gems

On Stage 2024 Projects: Fun Fold cards and a cute Mini Album!

Happy Easter Friends!

I hope you're doing whatever it is that you want to do today, and enjoying yourself!  We had our Easter dinner with the family yesterday, watched Aquaman last night, and then I slept in LATE.  Now I'm going to be tied to this computer for the rest of the day organizing all my tax info.  :(  Last Minute Lucy!  So - enjoy your day, however you are spending it.  

Today I'm sharing three projects that I made on Thursday night.  These were all project ideas that were shared with us at On Stage a couple of weeks ago.  Of course, the presenters used upcoming NEW catalog products, so that was the biggest difference in mine.  I hope you like them!  

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I am streaming to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously.  

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it on YouTube.

Both of these fun fold cards were presented by Mary Ellen Stites.

The purpose of the first fun fold design is to show off an entire piece of 6" x 6" designer series paper.  When the card is open, you see the entire thing so this is perfect for those "scenery" type papers.  I had to go back to my autumn pack.

You'll want to watch the video to see how I cut the designer series paper.  Basically, you want to cut in order, so the scene stays in tact.

Paper measurements:

• Copper Clay:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at  2", 4 1/4"
• Basic White:  4" x 5 1/4", for inside of card
• All About Autumn Designer Series Paper:  5 1/4" x 6", cut across the 6" side at 3 1/2", 1/2".  You're left with a 2" piece at the end, which you need
• Copper Clay:  3 1/2" x 5 1/4"
• Copper Clay/Wild Wheat:  scraps to die cut leaves
• Copper Clay:  scrap to punch Decorative Circle punch
• Basic White:  2" circle

Picture of the car opened and flat - isn't that cool to see the whole scene?  I love it!

I did pop the greeting up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Finished off with some Opaque Ovals.  These are Pecan Pie, but they match close enough.

Stamps:  Well Said (NEW catalog stamp set)

Ink:  Copper Clay

Paper: Copper Clay, Wild Wheat, Basic White, All About Autumn Designer Series Paper

Other:   Decorative punch, 2" Circle punch, Opaque Ovals

Next is a Gatefold card with a belly band.  What's different about this gatefold is the extra fold-over flaps on the front.  It adds more opportunities for different patterns, plus it's a new twist on an old favorite design.

I don't have the balloon set, so I just cut a pair of balloons directly out of the designer series paper.  I did tape it to a piece of Basic White before I cut, to make it a little sturdier.

Paper measurements:

• Fresh Freesia:  5 1/2" x 11", scored at 1 1/4" and 3 3/8" from each end.
• Basic White:  4" x 5 1/4", for inside of card
• Fresh Freesia:  1" x 11", for belly band
• Lemon Lolly:  3" x 4", cut with postage dies
• Lighter than Air Designer series paper:  (2) 1 3/4" x 5 1/4", (2) 1" x 5 1/4", (1) 2 1/2" x 3 3/8"
• Basic White:  scrap to stamp/cut greeting

Here's a picture of it opened up -

I added some of the Rainbow Dots all over to finish.  I also ran the Clear Wink of Stella all over the balloons.

Stamps:  Well Said

Ink:  Fresh Freesia

Paper: Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly, Basic White, Lighter than Air Designer series paper

Other:   Postage dies (Unity Stamp Co), Rainbow Dots, Clear Wink of Stella marker

The third project is an adorable Mini Album using 6" x 6" papers for the inside pages.  No cutting of your pattern papers!  Finished size is 3 3/8" x 6 1/2".  The cover/base of the album is made only from cardstock, but it's sturdy!  No chipboard, no whiteboard (from the packs of designer series paper).  Just cardstock - a few layers.

If you watch and share the video by Thursday afternoon, I'm pulling a name and giving away my PROTOTYPE album.  Not this one that I'm sharing.  I made my prototype with Lost Lagoon cardstock and the Inked & Tiled Designers series papers inside.  I did emboss the front cover layer with the new So Swirly folder like this green one, and it's got Pool Party sheer ribbon ties.  It's pretty!  I'm shipping anywhere in the world, so please feel free to share and comment SHARED either on the YouTube video, or the Facebook video.

Back to this one - I wanted this mini to be for my On Stage pictures.  I've got a Lemon Lime Twist base, and then the pages inside are from the Glorious Gingham designer series paper.  I used all of the prints/colors in that pack.  2 of each color, so I've got 10 pages.

Paper measurements:

• Lemon Lime Twist:  8 1/4" x 9", scored according to pattern
• Lemon Lime Twist:  (2) 3 1/4" x 6 3/8", (1) 3/8" x 6 3/8", for inside the cover
• Lemon Lime Twist:  3 1/8" x 6 1/4", embossed to add to front cover
• Glorious Gingham Designer Series paper:  (10) 6" x 6", scored at 3" for pages

PATTERN -  These are the cardstock pieces to make the base.

Let's look at the inside of the book.  This picture is me and my friend Penne when I first arrived at the hotel in Houston.  She came to the hotel and dropped off some snacks for me and my friends - she's so sweet!

After you glue all of the folded pages together, the very last/back page gets glued to the inside back cover. 

See how the pages are only attached to each other, and then to the very back.

The mini album that was presented at OnStage, they used Basic Black for their album base, new papers that are bright and cheery colors, and black and white pictures.  Very striking!

Stamps: Simply Zinnias bundle

Ink:  Midnight (Catherine Pooler)

Paper: Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst, Basic White, Glorious Gingham Designer Series paper

Other:   Alphabet a la Mode dies, So Swirly embossing folder, Stampin Write markers (Berry Burst, Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist), Iridescent Rhinestones, Ribbon Duo combo pack

I hope you see how you can customize this little album to whatever occasion you need.  Add plain white paper to the pages for journaling if you'd like. 

Join me this Thursday at 8pm ET for my April Workshop, which will be my Retirement Workshop.  I'll be showcasing products that are on the Last Chance list.

Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!

March 2024 Virtual Workshop - A Little Latte Love

Hello Crafty Friends!  It's a drizzly, dreary day here in Maryland today, but I don't mind it.  :) 

This past Thursday night, I demonstrated my March Virtual Workshop.  I featured one of the new Online Exclusive suites this month - A Little Latte.  The Latte Love bundle,, along with the Little Latte papers, ribbon, and Swirl Dots.  I love everything about this suite!  My goal is for you to be able to use ANY coffee or hot drink themed stamps that you might have in your stash. 

Check out my Workshop of the Month page for details about my workshop, the ordering specials and the online ordering code.  Short version:  Use code HXADABJN when placing your qualifying order online this month and get some freebies!   

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously.  

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it on YouTube.

The first card has an embossed tone-on-tone background, and I added a strip of the Little Latte designer series paper along with a few mugs that are cut out directly from the designer series paper.  Easy peasy!  All you need to stamp for this card is the greeting!  Use any greeting you want.  I grabbed this one from the Cheerful Daisies set.

Paper measurements:

• Lost Lagoon:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2”, scored and folded at 4 1/4”
• Lost Lagoon:  4" x 5 1/4", embossed with Basics #3 (dots) folder
• Basic White:  4” x 5 1/4”, for inside of card
• Little Latte Designer Series Paper:  2" x 5 1/4" (plaid print), and chunk of mug print to hand-cut 3 mugs
• Basic White:  scrap to stamp/hand-cut or punch greeting

I added some of the Pecan Pie Swirl Dots to finish this one.   

Stamps:  Cheerful Daisies

Ink:  Lost Lagoon

Paper: Lost Lagoon, Basic White, Little Latte Designer Series Paper

Other:  Basics #3 embossing folder, Swirl Dots

For the second card, my goal was to show you that you can mix and match colors and prints for your coffee-themed cards.  We don't always have to use browns or coffee prints.  I used the Just Kiddin papers for these.  Azure Afternoon and Berry Burst.  

Bonus - these papers and card design are great for ANY theme.  Instead of the coffee cup, you could add a birthday cake, boom box, roller skate, balloons, animal, stars....anything!  This design and these papers are very versatile.

Paper measurements:

• Azure Afternoon/Berry Burst:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2”, scored and folded at 4 1/4”
• Basic White:  4” x 5 1/4”, for inside of card
• Azure Afternoon/Berry Burst:  2 1/4" x 5 1/4"
• Just Kiddin' DSP:  (2) 1" x 5 1/2", one print; (1) 2" x 5 1/4", second print
• Azure Afternoon/Berry Burst:  2 1/4" x 2"
• Basic White:  2 1/4" x 1 3/4"
• Basic White:  4 1/4" x 5 1/2", notched corner to stamp/cut coffee cup

I did pop up that coffee mug, and added some Clear Wink of Stella to the center design.  Finished off with some Gold Foil gems.

Stamps:  Latte Love, Season of Chic

Ink:  Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake

Paper:  Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Basic White, Just Kiddin Designer Series paper

Other:  Stampin' Blends (Azure Afternoon, Balmy Blue, Berry Burst, Bronze), Clear Wink of Stella, Gold Foil Gems

The third project might be my favorite this month.  This is a 1-2-3-Z-fold (fun fold) idea that I got from my friend Sue (Krusin' Through Ink).  It seems to be a combination of a book binding and z-fold card.  The result is pretty cool!  I also like that you get to see 3 different prints of paper.  

Only thing you'll need to stamp on this one is the greeting.  The little cup die-cuts will be included in your make-n-take kit.

Paper measurements:

• Pecan Pie:  4 1/4" x 11", scored at 2 1/8", 4 1/4", and 5 1/2"
• Pecan Pie:  3 1/4" x 4 1/4"
• Little Latte Designer Series Paper (3 different prints):  (1) 1" x 4", (1) 2" x 4", (1) 3" x 4"
• Basic White:  2" x 4"
• Pecan Pie:  scrap to punch out Decorative Circle 
• Basic White:  2" circle

You'll need to watch the video for assembly.

Top view, so you can see the Z-fold part -

Finish with some of the Pecan Pie Swirl Dots.

Stamps: Latte Love bundle

Ink:  Lost Lagoon

Paper:  Pecan Pie, Petal Pink, Lost Lagoon, Lemon Lolly, Basic White, Little Latte Designer series paper

Other:   Decorative and 2" Circle punches, Swirl Dots

The last project is an extra-large tag.  This one is 3" x 6"...I like that size for tags.  You can tie this on a gift bag, mail it to a friend with a message on the back, use it in a journal or mini scrapbook, or even use it as a bookmark for paper books.  Tags are SO versatile!

I stamped the coffee mug on Basic White with Mossy Meadow ink, then ink blended all over it to color it in.  Then die-cut it.

Paper measurements:

• Early Espresso:  3" x 6"
• Little Latte Designer series paper:  2 3/4" x 5 3/4"
• Basic White:  2 3/4" x 5 3/4", for back of tag
• Pecan Pie:  1 1/2" x 2 3/4", embossed with Painted Texture folder
• Basic White:  4 1/4" x 5 1/2", notched corner to stamp and cut out coffee mug and greeting

I'm including the Jumbo Eyelet for this tag, and a length of the Natural 3/8" Polka Dot trim.  You'll need some linen thread or baker's twine to add.  

Add some of the Vanilla Swirl Dots to finish.

Stamps:  Latte Love bundle, Circle Sayings

Ink:   Mossy Meadow, Early Espresso
