One Stamp Set, Different Ideas

Hello Stamping Friends,

Welcome to another Sunday Fun Day with the Sisters in Stamping. This week we are all using one set, Sailing Home. I love seeing how others use the same set and how different all of our cards turn out. You will need to head over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what each of us created.

I love the nautical look of this card. Chunky stripes created by using two pieces of white cardstock. I didn't add a lot of layers to the base, but the layers of cut out pieces certainly add to the card. 

I think this would even be a good choice to frame for a room with a nautical theme. What are your thoughts? 

The lighthouse and sailboat are colored using the watercolor pencils. Of course, they were even added to the front of the card with dimensionals. I know, no surprise there.

Don't forget to head over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for more ideas using the Sailing Home stamp set found in the annual catalog.

Thanks for stopping by. See you soon.

Thankful Blog Hop with the Stampers Dozen

Hello Stamping Friends,

It's November and another hop with the Stamper Dozen ladies. This month's theme is thankful/grateful. November is the month where we all stop to think about how grateful we are for all we have, but I think we should do it everyday. Even through the tough times there is always something to be thankful for.

I started creating thinking I was going to make a fall card using leaves in great fall colors. I decided to us the Beauty of the Earth designer series paper as my color inspiration. Well, once I started creating and stamping several different leaves from the Love of Leaves stamp set in different colors and the So Grateful greeting from the Ornate Thanks stamp set, I decided I wanted to use the So Grateful greeting in the four colors I was using. The only problem with that was that now my four different sized leaves just weren't working.

Then, I realized, the smallest leaf looked like a heart if I cut the stem off and turned it upside down. (Which then gave me an idea for Valentine's Day, you'll have to wait to see that) So I stamped the leaf in the three other colors and decided a heart was the perfect accent to the So Grateful sentiments. What do you think?

This is one card that didn't turn out the way I initially imagined in my head, but I absolutely love it. Probably more than what I thought I was going to do when I started creating.

Always Thinking of You

Hello Stamping Friends,

Welcome to another week with the Sisters in Stamping. This week's theme is thinking of you. I made this card with someone very special in mind, It's not just any thinking of you card that you may have on hand and want to send. Continue reading to find out more.

I made this card with my mom in mind. Today is the 27th anniversary of her passing at the young age of 40 years old. I always think of her with all my heart and am so grateful for the memories I do have of her.

This is not a normal color selection for me, but I chose it because so many things in our home at the time of her passing were the country blue and rose that was so popular back then. And there were definitely hearts involved as well. They are definitely not my colors, but they do make me smile as I think of my mom with all my heart.

Here's a close up of the side of the card because you really can't see the detail in the first picture.  I scrunched the ribbon by waving it back and forth, left and right. I also cut a square vellum doily in half and attached it to the back of the blue strip. You don't have to use things the way they look. Think outside the box and you will be pleasantly surprised at how much more versatile your supplies become.

I also stamped the large brushed-looking heart all over the background of the petal pink cardstock. I know it's not easy to see they are hearts, but it adds texture to an otherwise ordinary piece of cardstock.

Hearts aren't only for Valentine's Day either, so take them out and create all year long. 

Don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping to see more thinking of you card ideas.

Here's a picture of my mom just a few short months before her unexpected passing. She had a massive heart attack which is another reason why the hearts are so meaningful to me.  Thanks for letting me share my mom with you today and letting me have my moment.

Sisters in Stamping Trick or Treat

Hello Stamping Friends,

Back with the Sisters in Stamping and this week we are sharing with you some great Halloween/Trick or Treat treats with you. Whether you need to make a few or a lot, now is definitely the time to get started with your crafting of Halloween projects. Just under two weeks before the big day.

Nothing says you are special to me like a nice box of chocolates. Wouldn't you agree? I used one of the great boxes that Stampin' Up! carries and covered it with the cute Halloween paper. I used one sheet but used one side for the bottom layer and the other side for the top layer.

For the front, I punched a cat from basic black cardstock and added a gingham bow to his neck. I also added some blue gems (I know, I've been using them a lot) for eyes and finished it off with a Halloween greeting stamped in white craft ink. I stamped the happy off and slanted on purpose. I didn't want everything straight. It's a Halloween treat, after all.

My treat contains chocolate. Why? Because it makes everything perfect, if you ask me.  I used snack size milk chocolate bars and wrapped them with the cute Halloween paper in the mini catalog. I finished each bar off with some black/white gingham ribbon.

This is not difficult to make at all, so you can make multiples of them rather easily.  Don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping for more treat ideas.
