My favorite Stamp Set

Hello Stamping Friends,

Happy Friday to you! It's a gorgeous day out there so be sure to get out and enjoy the sunshine and the beauty that God has given us.  Today is also Fabulous Friday and you know what that means, right? Yep, that's correct, a Sisters in Stamping challenge. This week we needed to make something using our favorite new stamp set from the catalog. I must admit, it's not an easy task to pick just one stamp set. I could have picked the top five and made a card with it but I'm sure that would have been quite an interesting card, to say the least. Too many different types of artwork to match up. lol

So I narrowed it down to one set. The set that I have gone to over and over since I've gotten it. Seriously have used it in several classes, workshops and even used it for a swap. It's the Traveler set. I love the images with this set and it works perfectly with the world map background stamp.

 

I just sponged the background with wild wasabi and marina mist ink using a sponge after stamping it in crumb cake. It was just randomly done. I'm sure if you look close enough, you will see water where land is and vice versa.  I love how the background looks like an enlarged version of the globe. Actually, look at the globe, that is Africa shown on it, right? Wonder if that was done on purpose by the artist. Things that make you go Hmmmmmm.

 

Don't forget to visit Sisters in Stamping to see the favorite sets of the other Sisters.

Stamping Supplies Used:
Stamps: Just Sayin', Traveler, & World Map

Ink: Marina Mist, Wild Wasabi & Crumb Cake

Paper: Marina Mist, Wild Wasabit & Very Vanilla Cardstock

Accessories: Word Bubbles Framelits Dies, Big Shot, Dimensionals, Stampin' Sponges

 

Remember I still have the special on. I'm getting closer and closer to reaching my goal but I still need a little help. Sale is now through Sunday. See post HERE for all the details. If you need anything please order by Sunday to help me. I would greatly appreciate it.

Make A Wish

Hello Stamping Friends,

Happy Wednesday to you. We are half way through the week, any big plans for the weekend?  We have more relatives coming to stay with us from out of town. Last week was my brother and his family and now it's Don's brother and his family. The first few weeks of summer are always super busy around here with catching up with far away family and we love every minute of it. Of course, the kids love the extra outings that end up being planned as a result of company here. Amusement parks, waterparks, ice cream, family picnics and impromptu pizza parties with everyone gathered to name a few. (Of course, Don really likes the company for the simple reason that the house gets  a little extra loving with more cleaning than I've been able to do during the school year).

Onto today's card. This is one of the cards we made at stamp a stash last month. (This months stamp a stash is tomorrow if you haven't registered yet, just let me know and I can fit you in. 12 cards and envelopes for $20.) I know must of us think of birthdays with Make a Wish but really you can give it to anyone that is wishing big.

 

And the colors make this a great card for both men and women (boys or girls). The clothespin is a fun extra touch that adds to the card. I didn't use any snail adhesive on this card. It is assembled completely using dimensionals.

 

Stamping Supplies Used:
Stamps: Gorgeous Grunge, Perfect Pennants

Ink: Tangerine Tango, Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, So Saffron

Paper: Very Vanilla Cardstock

Accessories: Dimensionals, Retro Fresh Washi Tape, Paper Snips, Mini Metallic Clothespins

Dots, Dots & More Dots

Hello Stamping Friends,

Hope you are enjoying this day. I sure am. It was absolutely fabulous not having to set an alarm this morning to get up and get ready for school. I'm going to love this summer vacation. Last year, there wasn't much relaxing in the summer. with a house under construction there was always something to be done or somewhere to go and pick out things. I vow to make this a relaxing summer. I'll let you know how I make out at the end of summer.

 

Today's card is made using something that I love, love, love. Polka dots. The more the better, well, at least that's how I see it.  I embossed the black cardstock with the awesome new giant polka dot embossing folder. Then I used the circle stamp from Work of Art and whisper white craft ink to stamp polka dots inside the embossed polka dots.

 

I stamped the greeting on a scrap of white cardstock and then punched it out using the 1 3/4" circle punch. Added a few more circle punches behind that and finished it off with some of the new thick baker's twine.

 

Stamping Supplies Used:
Stamps: Work of Art

Ink:: Whisper White Craft, Black Staz-on and Strawberry Slush Classic Ink

Paper: Strawberry Slush, Whisper White, & Basic Black Cardstock

Accessories: Big Shot, Polka Dot Embossing Folder, 1 3/4" circle punch, 1 3/8" circle punch, 1" circle punch, Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive, & Strawberry Slush Baker's Twine

 

Have a great day!

Happy Summer, Finally!

Hello Stamping Friends,

We are so excited here in the Yurkanin household. Summer has officially started as of about an hour ago. School is finally out! Yippee! Yahoo! Woohoo! and any other excitement words you can think of. It was a long school year. Now it's time for sleeping in, no homework, no routine or schedule, just fun, fun and more fun.

First, I need to share with you the challenge for Sisters in Stamping this week. We are doing a color challenge for you. Tempting turquoise, melon mambo, daffodil delight and whisper white. Hope you enjoy.

 

I made a fun summer birthday card. Great for all those parties where children will be the recipient. It gets even better once you open the card. Check it out below.

 

A pop-up of birthday presents. Isn't it great? Everyone loves fun, interactive cards. This one is pretty easy to do as well. You need to cut three strips of designer paper (1" x 2", 1"x 3", and 1" x 3 1/2"). Start with folding the inner part of the card (5 1/4" x 8 1/4").Fold the designer paper in half. Attach the strips of designer paper using snail adhesive starting with the bottom strip (which is the largest strip). Fold of designer paper on the fold of the whisper white paper. When you have all three strips on the white cardstock. You cut the to end of each strip. Fold to make them pop out. Attach the white cardstock to the base of the card.

 

 

Red, White & Blue

Hello Stamping Friends,

So excited to share my projects with you today. Over at Sisters in Stamping our focus this week is any 3-D project. I made these adorable little boxes and couldn't wait to share them with you. They use two new big shot dies that are in the 2014-2015 Catalog, the fry box and the hamburger box. What a cute pair. There is even a stamp set in the catalog that would work very well with the set.

 

I made mine with a patriotic flair but seriously you can do so much with these box dies that would make them great for any special event you are planning. Of course, these patriotic boxes would be great for a 4th of July party.

 

I have always loved the fry box but it was a lot of work before now to make because you would have to copy/trace onto your cardstock, cut with scissors, score, fold, and then put it together. Now all you need to do is run it through your big shot, fold and use some adhesive. Definitely a huge time saver.

 

The hamburger box is adorable. It's smaller than a regular sandwich size from a fast food restaurant but I think it's the perfect size for a party favor. Again, you can decorate this with any theme to make it suitable for your occasion. It's pretty easy to put together, too, so that makes it awesome.

 

You will be seeing more creations using these dies, you can count on that. 

 

Don't forget to head over to the Sisters in Stamping today to see more awesome 3-D projects.

Get Ready For Father's Day

Hello Stamping Friends,

Today at Sisters in Stamping we are getting ready for Father's Day by sharing some great Father's Day cards with you. I used the new Tap Tap Tap set for my card. I just had to have it when I saw it in the new catalog. Reminds be of years gone by. I remember getting my electric typewriter with the correcting tape. I thought I had the coolest tool yet. Little did I know where that was headed way back then. Now we have computers and programs that highlight when we have a spelling error. We've come a long way, huh?

 

Anyway, back to the card. I thought it was pretty fun and neat to make a card for my dad that he could relate more to. I'm pretty positive he could work the typewrite much easier than he could work the computer. He has an iPhone but he still doesn't do a whole lot on it. I'm just so proud that he can text. lol

 

The teeny tiny wishes stamp set is perfect to fit in the lines of the paper stamp that comes with the set. Plus, the Happy Father's Day font is perfect for a typewriter look. Of course, you can change out the greeting and use the card for just about any occasion. I look forward to making more cards using this set.

 

Stamping Supplies Used:
Stamps: Tap Tap Tap & Teeny Tiny Wishes

Ink: Black Staz-On

Paper: Basic Black & Very Vanilla Cardstock, Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper

Accessories: Gold Pen, Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive
