Stampin' Up! Acorny Splitcoast Challenge

Hey Stamping Friends!!

Surprise! Surprise!! I'm blogging on a Saturday! Can you believe it?! Me either. I rarely have a free Saturday. But since I did, I thought I would play up in my stamp loft. 

I used to participate in the stamping challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers All. The. Time. But life got busy and that was one of the things that had to go. Since I had some free stamping time today, I thought I would go see what challenges were going on.

I decided to combine their weekly color challenge with their weekly sketch challenge. Here is my card:

Stamps: Acorny Thank You

Ink: Sahara Sand, Pistachio Pudding

Paper: Whisper White, Gold Soiree DSP (retired but on the Clearance Rack!), Sahara Sand, Pool Party, Pistachio Pudding, Gold Glimmer, Vellum

Accessories: Acorn Builder Punch, Woodland EF, Decorative Dots EF, Pool Party Baker's Twine, Candy Dots

Here is the color combo CC552:

I had to dig around to find a piece of Pistachio Pudding. I used mine all up! Glad I had some of the Gold Soiree DSP in my stash. It's on the Clearance Rack right now for super cheap. Go get yourself some!!

Here is the sketch SC562:

I've always enjoyed playing along with the Splitcoast Challenges. I'm glad I could join in this week. Hopefully it will fit into my schedule more often. Challenges are a great way to get your creativity moving. And it's fun to see others stampers take on the challenges.

Just a reminder, Monday is the last day to place your order to join my October Online Stamp Class.

Here are the details:

I am offering an online class featuring the Vintage Leaves stamp set and Coordinating Leaflets Framelits. They are offered as a bundle on page 88 of the regular catalog.

Stampin' Up! Acorny Thank You

Hi Stamping Friends!!

Choosing stamp sets out of the Holiday Catalog is always a challenge for me because I WANT IT ALL!! After I whittle down my list to something my bank account can afford, and finally (after much hemming and hawing) I place my order, only to browse the web and find amazing samples of some set that I did not order. 

That's how I ended up getting Acorny Thank You added to my collection. I was not going to buy another "fall" set. I didn't need one. Even if it did have a matching punch (I'm a sucker for any stamp set that has matching tools). But lo and behold I caved.

Here is a card we made at my Tulare County Class last Sunday:

Stamps: Acorny Thank You

Ink: Early Espresso

Paper: Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Corrugated Paper, Gold Glimmer, Old Retired DSP that I don't know the name of :)

Accessories: Woodland EF, Acorn Builder Punch, 2 1/2" Circle Punch, Leaflets Framelits

I based this design off of something fancier that I saw on the interweb. I wanted to simplify mine to show my stampers that you can make a cute, quick card that can be done in a few minutes. Not everything needs to have all the bells and whistles. 

I'm doing a similar card for my monthly thank you cards. Here is what the beginnings of two dozen cards looks like:

I still need to stamp and punch out my acorn topper and stamp my "thank you" sentiment onto the circle, but I have the majority of the pieces all ready to go. When I mass produce cards, I usually start from the base up. I will glue the Woodland embossed Very Vanilla piece onto the Soft Suede card bases. Then add the "wood" strip to the front. Then the circle, the leaf and finally the acorn. I like adding one detail at a time instead of trying to finish each card individually.

Just a reminder...

Monday is the last day to order the Vintage Leaves bundle and still participate in my Online Card Class.

Here are the details:

Stampin' Up! Happy Scenes Fall

Hi Stamping Friends!!

Today is the fourth and final card in my Happy Scenes series. Did you notice the pattern?

Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you've got to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

Love me some James Taylor!! I dedicate this song to all my stamping friends. :)

Stamps: Happy Scenes

Ink: Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow, Delightful Dijon, Crumb Cake

Paper: Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla

Accessories: Hearth and Home Framelits, Washi Label Punch, Burlap Ribbon, Jute (non-SU!)

Here is what each kit included:

This seemed to be a favorite at the class. The sky is a very simple technique. The colors are applied with a sponge. The Mossy Meadow "grass" is lightly "pounded" on and the Delightful Dijon "sunset" is swiped on. The pumpkins are colored with a Pumpkin Pie marker. You could get fancier with your "sunset" and add more color.

Here are all four Happy Scenes season:

Here is my "stamping selfie" from Sunday:

One of the gals accidentally got cut out of the pic. Sorry Chris!! :(

And another gal said that was the first selfie she had ever been in . :)

Such a fun day!! Can't wait for the next one.

Stampin' Up! Happy Scenes Summer

Hi Stamping Friends!!

Sharing my "summer" Happy Scenes card today from the class I did in Tulare County this past weekend. Such a fun group of gals. I miss seeing them every month but I'm so glad I got my "fix". Hoping to get back up there in February or March for another class.

My card today is a little different twist on the window card. Instead of looking out the window into a "happy scene", we are looking in the window from the outside.

Stamps: And Many More (I didn't even use Happy Scenes on this card!!)

Ink: Watermelon Wonder

Paper: Whisper White, Tip Top Taupe, Early Espresso, Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush, Vellum

Accessories: Hearth and Home Framelits, Brick Wall EF, Watermelon Lace, Itty Bitty Flower Punch, Bird Punch (leaves), Word Window Punch, Pearl Jewels

Here is what each kit contained:

This was a fairly simple card to put together. I put the vellum in front of the lace so it would appear like you were looking through a window into someone's home. I couldn't decide what color the "inside" of the house should be so I went with white. It also is a nice stark background for the bright flowers and really makes them "pop".

The sentiment comes from the And Many More sentiment set. It's a great set to have on hand because it covers a wide variety of special life events from new baby to retirement and everything in between.

I currently have an online class open and I would love for you to join!!

Stampin' Up! Happy Scenes Spring

Hey Stamping Friends!!

Today I am sharing my "spring" Happy Scenes card that we created at my Tulare County Class.

Stamps: Happy Scenes, And Many More (sentiment)

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride

Paper: Very Vanilla, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White, Blushing Bride DSP (retired)

Accessories: Hearth & Home Thinlets, Decorative Dots EF, Word Window Punch, Bird Punch, Itty Bitty Flower Punch, Pearl Jewel, Blushing Bride Ribbon (retired)

Here is what each kit contained:

To create the "grass", I stamped the image on the Whisper White and cardstock and on the Pear Pizzazz cardstock. I then cut the Pear Pizzazz piece and stamped some "flowers" onto the tree and near the base of the tree.

Next I embossed the Pear Pizzazz piece with the Decorative Dots EF. Finally I adhered the two pieces together. Then I added a few of the small pearls onto the tree which are hard to see in the photo.

I love how this turned out. Would be cute to use as a baby card as well.

I have an Online Card Class happening until October 19th.

Stampin' Up! Happy Scenes Winter

Hi Stamping Friends!!

I had a wonderful time at my Tulare County Class this weekend!! My T-town stamping peeps are the BEST!!!! I miss seeing them every month. So glad there is this thing called SOCIAL MEDIA so we can stay connected. :)

For this class we created a total of 7 cards. Four of them were made using the class set, Happy Scenes. I wanted to show how versatile this set is so I made each card with one of the four seasons in mind. Today's cards is the WINTER card:

Stamps: Happy Scenes

Ink: Old Olive

Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Mossy Meadow, Shimmery White, Silver Glimmer, Home for Christmas DSP

Accessories: Hearth & Home Thinlets, Sleigh Ride Edgelits, Softly Falling EF, Green Striped Ribbon, Washi Label Punch, Paper Doily, Window Sheet, Dimensionals

Here is what each kit contained:

Notice the pre-tied bows. Yeah. I'm a nice demo like that. ;)

I played around with making this a shaker card, but realized it would be too difficult to do at the class because of the level of difficulty. There just wouldn't be enough time to finish all 7 cards if I did. But I wanted to share it anyway, in case you want to make a shaker card yourself.

I used Dazzling Diamonds as "snow" and it stuck to EV. ERY. THING. I put in waaaayyy too much glitter the first time around and it made a huge mess.

It was like a glitter blizzard. Here is what it looked like before I added the glitter.

After this picture was taken, I added the glitter. I didn't realize it was too much until AFTER I stuck down the Dimensionals. So I tried to dump some out. But then it stuck to the Dimensionals as I was dumping it out. Then the Dimensionals wouldn't stick to the cardstock anymore and the glitter was falling out all over the place. So I ended up putting Liquid Glue on the Dimensionals so they would stick again. 

Arrrggghhh!!! Can you feel my frustration?! And THIS is why we did NOT do a shaker card in class. ;)

This card has lots of pieces and elements so the level of difficulty was high enough. I did not need to add glitter to the equation. :)

If you would like to participate in one of my Online Stamp Classes, I have one have one going on right now.
