Stampers Dozen Blog Hop - Grads, Dads, and Flowers

Hello Stamping Friends,

The days are flying by. I can't believe it's just about halfway through May already.  I hope you all had a great Mother's Day with your family this past weekend. Mine was fantastic. Time with each of my kids is always fantastic.

This month with the Stamper's Dozen we are focusing on grads, dads, and flowers. I made a graduation card that I will be using in a few weeks. Do you usually make graduation cards with the school colors or the grads favorite colors? Honestly I am a follow school colors kind of gal, but this card is breaking the system. It is in the grad's favorite colors.

On the soft seafoam layer I stamped graduation hats and diplomas in soft seafoam for a tone on tone look. It's subtle, but it's perfect for what I wanted. I also cut a circle and the banner using dies. The stitching is a perfect little touch.

The cap and gown are stamped in pool party. I cut them out and attached using dimensionals. I added a few pearls to dress up the gown.

I then made my own pool party banner and strip of pretty peacock to place behind the die cut banner with the Congratulations, Graduate greeting. I also finished the banner off with a few pearls. 

I stamped the greeting for the inside on a layer of basic white. I added the cap to the corner of the word "All" and love it. To bring it all together, I added a thin strip of pretty peacock cardstock along the bottom.

Spring has Sprung with the Sisters in Stamping

Hello Stamping Friends,

It's April 14th and that means another great post with the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop. This month's theme is spring and flowers. Although I am still waiting for flowers up here on the mountain, I am excited for warm weather and flowers (eventually).

I used the flowering zinnias designer series paper that can be found as part of the online exclusives. It's a great pack of paper that is full of bright, fun colors. I decided to use it as the main focal point of my card because it's gorgeous as is. The only thing I did was add some polka dots using the granny apple green stampin' write marker to fill in the white spots since I added the designer series paper to a whisper white piece of cardstock to border it. 

The banner piece is made from the back side of the flower paper and a small piece of berry burst glimmer paper (the pack includes berry burst, old olive, and white glimmer paper). Of course, a little piece of black and white gingham ribbon pulls the whole card together perfectly.  Plus the two little rhinestones add even more sparkle.

The greeting is another online exclusive. It's from the Sweetly Scripted stamp set. It's perfect to fit across the card. For this card, I cut one inch off the front of the card so you could see the greeting that is stamped on the inside layer even when the card is closed.

A Nod to the Retirement List

Hello Stamping Friends,

It's Sunday Fun Day with the Sisters in Stamping.  This week we are focusing on the retirement list. We have just a few short weeks with the current catalog. You need to get those things off your list now before they disappear forever. 

I used the Leveled Up stamp set to make this fractured card. I have a good amount of gamers in my life so this set has come in handy quite a bit. I will be sad when it retires, but I will be keeping it for sure. 

These fractured cards look so difficult to make with a lot of puzzle pieces of paper to put together, but that is not true at all. My base is blueberry bushel then lemon lime twist is the next layer (4" x 5 1/4"). On top of the lemon lime twist is a sheet of gingham blueberry bushel designer series paper. ( 3 3/4" x 5")

Then I placed a 2 1/2" square piece of whisper white as a diamond shape. I cut strips of lemon lime twist cardstock at 1/4" wide and placed one at a time around the white cardstock and cut them off at the edge of the blueberry bushel designer paper. It really is easy to put together. 

To finish it off, I attached the circle that I punched out in the center of the square. I love the hearts to represent how many lives they have left. LOL

I heat embossed the controller to make it really stand out. I then fussy cut it and attached it using some dimensionals. The rhinestones are colored black using the Stampin' Blend marker. 

And the inside is fancied up a bit by using some of the designer series paper to bring it all together.

Since the post is focusing on retirement items, don't wait to place your order because you only have a few weeks left to get these great items.
