Smile, it's Fall

Remember to Create!

Hello Stamping Friends,

Hope you are having a fabulous Friday. I'll be honest, mine isn't so fab since I am not feeling well. You know it's bad when you come home from school and take a nap, a four hour nap! Hopefully that's just what I needed and I'm on the upswing now. I think it's sinus related.

However, it is Friday and that means fabulous Friday with the Sisters in Stamping. Good thing my project was already made because who knows what it would look like if I had to create today.  (HAHA)

The theme today is a fall card. My card is "fallish." It's a bit untraditional, guess that is who I am right now being my last card was a little untraditional as well.  I love the ferns that come with the new daisy set, Daisy Lane.

I stamped the ferns in two different colors, pear pizzazz and garden green before cutting them out. Again, my color inspiration came from some designer series paper Garden Lane. Be sure to use your resources in that catalog to help you make beautiful looking projects.

Don't forget to head over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for more fall inspiration. Thanks for stopping by. See you again soon.

Welcome Fall Y'all Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop

Remember to Create!

Hello Stamping Friends,

It's a great night to share some fabulous fall creations with you. It's time for a blog hop with the Stamper's Dozen. This month is all about welcoming fall y'all. I love the fall season for all things fall: leaves turning colors, pumpkins, hayrides, cornstalks, crisp weather, apples (not apple cider, though) and so many other things. However, I never really get super excited about fall coming because I know what is coming WINTER!!!!! And I will say, I do not love all things that come with winter because it lasts too long here in Northeast Pennsylvania. Once that snow starts it likes to stick around until March, so I will hold off as long as possible. Know what I mean?

I used a nontraditional fall look for my card. I didn't use a ton of orange, reds, browns and greens on my card. I went with a more elegant, subtle look by using more neutral colors and just a little bit of the pretty peacock. I know pumpkins are overwhelmingly orange but I have to say, "I love white pumpkins!" I actually have several around my house that I use to decorate with every year. You know me, I like to be a little different if I can.

Honestly, the paper was my inspiration to stick with a white pumpkin on this card. See those few white ones? I love how Stampin' Up!'s designer series paper can help guide my projects and I know I will love the finished look thanks to the both the designer and colors in the paper.

Don't forget to keep hopping through each of the blogs below. I'm positive you will find more great fall inspiration. Thank you for stopping to visit. I appreciate the love and support from you.

Memories and More Card Pack = Quick and Easy

Remember to Create!

Hello Stamping Friends,

Welcome to another Fabulous Friday with the Sisters in Stamping. This week we are sharing cards made using the Memories and More card packs. These card packs are so fun to use for such a great variety of projects. Obviously, they are awesome for memory keeping (AKA scrapbooking), but they are also superb for making quick and easy cards. What other things do you think you can use these cards for?

Let's look at how easy this card is. I used whisper white and basic black cardstock to go with the card pack. The striped background is a 4"x 6" card cut down to 4" x 5 1/4" to fit the front of the card. The anchor is a beautiful laser die cut from the pack. That it's the main image is done for you. The hardest part may be removing the plastic the cards are wrapped in. LOL I used the "thanks" stamp from the Sailing Away stamp set, but, honestly, you can use any greeting you want. It would be a great birthday card or even a sympathy card for someone who loved being on the water.

Ready to go make some quick cards of your own? 

Oh, and don't forget to head over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for more ideas using the Memories and More card packs.  Thanks for stopping by. See you soon.

A Card We Hope We Don't Need

Remember to Create!

Hello Stamping Friends,

Happy Friday.  I just love Fridays. They are the last day of the school week and we get to share with you some great stamping ideas.  This week with the Sisters in Stamping we are focusing on a card most of us need, but one we don't really enjoy making: a sympathy card.  For obvious reasons, these are not the most fun cards to make. I mean honestly, it's the one card we always hope we don't need.

This is a great subtle card that I feel shows a lot of emotion. And that's all thanks to the great designer series paper, Perennial Essence. It's such a soft-looking paper thanks to the hand-painted impressionistic imagery on it. I believe this card is saying I care the best way a sympathy card can.

I never make enough of these and that point makes me sad. Sad because I need more than I make.  

Don't forget to head over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for more sympathy card ideas.

Thanks for stopping by. Come back soon.

Most Popular Sisters in Stamping Post

Remember to Create!

Hello Stamping Friends,

Back for another Fabulous Friday with the Sisters in Stamping. We are still celebrating our 10 year anniversary this week so don't forget to hop over and leave a comment for your chance for some Blog Candy. The theme this week was pretty fun. We scrolled through all of our past Sisters in Stamping blog posts to find the most popular one and needed to recreate it using current Stampin' Up! supplies. 

I'll admit, I was a bit anxious to open my most popular post in fear of what I was up against. I was waiting for it to be some crazy, detailed project that would take a lot of time. Imagine my surprise when I open it and found this delightful, simple but nice card waiting for me to recreate it. This project was from THIS POST back in June of 2016. It was even well received by all my workshop guests back then. They loved making this card.

Below you will see the recreated project. I decided to use the pens from the Crafting Forever stamp set for the image. Super simple, just repeatedly stamp the stamp image. I stamped once and then turned it upside down to stamp again and then turned it again to stamp it a third time. This was done twice to make two rows of pens. I layered the greeting on plain basic black cardstock this time instead of designer series paper because the image wasn't a bold as the previous card I made.

You can easily make a set of these with a few different sayings to make a gift for a friend.  The best part is that a set could be made literally in minutes, but the impact of the gift is far greater.

Remember, you need to head over to Sisters in Stamping to see the other popular projects and to leave a comment to win some blog candy.
