Stampin' Up! Rose Wonder Birthday

Hi Stamping Friends!!

Today I have the final Rose Wonder card we created at last weekend's card class. We created a couple of "extra" cards, but they were not made with the Rose Wonder set. You will have to wait until next week to see them. ;)

Stamps: Rose Wonder

Ink: Soft Suede

Paper: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Always Artichoke

Accessories: Rose Garden Thinlits, Vanilla Seam Binding, Candy Dots

I wanted to show the class that just because the Rose Wonder set appears to be very "feminine", it does not mean that you can not create a more masculine looking card. For the class I didn't have enough Seam Binding, so the gals made their cards with jute, which gave it an even more manly look. I love how it turned out!

Tomorrow is the final day to join my current Online Stamp Class featuring the Sunburst Sayings Bundle.

4. Wait patiently (the hardest part!) for me to send you a card kit that contains enough supplies to create four fun and fabulous cards.

Stampin' Up! Rose Wonder Thank You

Hi Stamping Friends!!

I have another Rose Wonder card to share today!!

Stamps: Rose Wonder

Ink: Blackberry Bliss

Paper: Whisper White, Hello Honey, Calypso Coral, Old Olive, Wildflower Fields DSP (SAB)

Accessories: Rose Garden Thinlits, Washi Label Punch, Organza Ribbon

I am just loving the Rose Garden Thinlits!! They make creating cards so easy. This card is so simple to put together. Just cut out the beautiful rose design and adhere it to your card front. The Fine-Tip Glue pen works best for gluing down this intricate design.

Have you noticed that all three cards have used the same Organza Ribbon? I love the pretty, classic look of it and it pairs so well with the elegant looking rose designs in the Rose WOnder stamp set and Rose Garden Thinlits. I decided I would just buy a roll for each one of my class members and keep it simple. Plus now they all have lots of ribbon to use on their own creations!!

If you are interested in joining my next online classes, the Starburst Sayings class is open until Saturday, February 20th.

Stampin' Up! Rose Wonder Beautiful Blessing

Hi Stamping Friends!!

One of my favorite things about the Rose Wonder stamp set is the wonderful variety of sentiments. It's has one for almost every occasion: birthday, wedding, sympathy, and friendship. Some of the best reasons to send cards!!

Here is another card we created this weekend using one of my favorite sentiments from the set.

Stamps: Rose Wonder

Ink: Mossy Meadow, Calypso Coral

Paper: Calypso Coral, Hello Honey, Old Olive, Whisper White, Wildflower Fields DSP (SAB)

Accessories: Fluttering EF, Circle Framelits, Itty Bitty Flower Punch, Pearl Jewels, Organza Ribbon

For this card I stamped out the images and then "fussy cut" them by hand. No dies or Thinlits, or Framlits involved.

If you are interested in joining one of my online classes, my Starburst Saying class is open for a few more days.

Joining is easy.

Stampin' Up! Rose Wonder Isaiah 41

Hi Stamping Friends!!

I spent a fun weekend stamping with all of my favorite stamping peeps and I wanted to share the cards we created.

We used the Rose Wonder Bundle found on page 18 of the Occasions Catalog. I found all of my ideas for these cards on Pinterest. It's my favorite place to go for stamping inspiration!!

What I love about this idea is that you get two cards for one!! You use the large rose Thinlit cutout and sponge ink over top of it, using it as a mask. When you remove it you get the top card.

Then you use the actual cutout that you sponged ink on and place it on another card. How brilliant is that?!

And besides getting your fingers a little inky, it's super easy to do!

I used Daffodil Delight over the whole rose and then added some Crushed Curry to the center. The leaves were sponged with Old Olive.

I created my sponges by cutting one of the Stamping Sponges (found on page 163 of the Stampin' Up! catalog) into eights. Then I punched out a "handle" using the Decorative Label punch found on page 166. The color cardstock I used coordinates with the color of ink that was used. That way when I use the sponges again, I will know what color ink is on them. I make my sponges on an "as needed basis", creating a new one every time I use a different color of ink.

I just love this stamp set and coordinating Thinlits and can't wait to share with you the other cards we created.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Rose Wonder Tulare County Class

Hi Stampin' Friends!!

Long time no blog!! Sorry I've been MIA. After getting my new job as an Instructional Assistant, I've decided to go back to school and get my Master's degree and teaching credential in Special Education. So I've been busy checking out schools and applying. I really want to be a high school teacher. Who knew?! 

I decided to apply to Azusa Pacific University because they have a two year program to get both degree and credential. They also have a campus in San Diego so I don't have to do it online, which I have a feeling I would be terrible at. I've got lots of forms and transcripts and essays to work on so my stamping has not been a priority at the moment.

And even though I will probably be super, crazy with work and school for the next two years, rest assured that I am NOT giving up Stampin' Up! I love it too much. It is my most favorite hobby and dare I say it, my therapy. ;)

I do hope to continue my monthly Online Classes, but expect to see much less blogging from me. Any writing I will be doing will most likely be school related. :)

But before all the craziness begins, I will be hosting a Tulare County class on Sunday, February 14th at 1pm at Tulare Community Church.

Anyone who wants to drive to Tulare County is invited. :)

Here are the details...

1. Visit my website: Krystal's Cards and purchase the Rose Wonder Bundle #140804 on page 18 of the Occasions catalog.

2. Use Hostess Code: 4ADHTD6K when checking out.

3. Come to Tulare Community Church on Sunday, February 14th at 1:00pm and bring your bundle and adhesive with you.

4. Make pretty cards and things with me and all your stamping friends!!!

So easy!! And remember... Right now when you purchase $50 in Stampin' Up! products you get to choose a FREE Sale-A-Bration set!!

Also, I will have the Enjoy the Little Things stamp set available for you to use if you want to purchase the Enjoy the Little Things Project Kit #140587 on page 33 of the Occasions Catalog. This won't be an actual "class" but you can use my stamps and ink to stamp the necessary items and then complete the project at home when you have more time.

If you have any questions, please be sure to email me: krystalscards (at) sbcglobal (dot) net.

Thanks so much for your patience as I start this new journey.

Happy Stamping!
