Dainty Flowers | Emboss Resist Technique

Hello my stamping friends.

Welcome to the first Stamping With Friends Blog Hop for 2023! We are showcasing Emboss Resist Techniques this time with our project posts, so be sure to hop along the links and see varying applications of this technique.

I am showcasing a sample from the Sale-a-bration DSP - Dainty Flowers for my focal  image on my project today.  This comes on a sheet of 12 x 12 Designer Series Papers. I do a simple die-cut window and emboss direct to the DSP image.  Then add ink to the exposed DSP section to create a spotlight on the image.

I also used the stamp set Sending Support, which is also a Sale-a-bration item now available with a $50 purchase during the promotion.  And I also dyed my ribbon to color match my DSP colors using my BLEND marker.

 I do have a Stampin’ Show & Tell Video demonstration for my project to share with you today.  So just follow this link on over to my YT Channel and what as I pull the whole project together from start to finish.

Wildlife Wonder - Catalog CASE Project

Hello my stamping friends.

So one of the simplest ways to create a card project is maybe by CASing a project already created.  Just like with painting, when we try to duplicate the Master’s work of art… we too can duplicate the card projects that inspire us.

For today’s project I used the Wildlife Wonder stamp set and paired it with the Awash with Beauty DSP, both from the annual catalog.  However, I CASEd a project from the Spring Mini Catalog.

Can you see the similarities between them?  Both have a printed pattern background.  Both have oversized tags and Baker’s Twine as an embellishment.  And the tag has the sentiments and the die-cut image.  Just like my project.  But they are quite different also!  

They have two very different themes and color palettes. But the layout and elements are close to the same.  I used a different tag element, and the owl instead of hearts, but the idea came straight from the pages of the new Mini Catalog.

For my project you might notice that I selectively edited the shape of my die-cut tag.

We use to refer to our Annual Catalogs as Idea Books!  They really are… be sure to use them to inspire you.  Even if you don’t replicate a project exactly, let them inspire you to create with what you do have.  Make it your own.  Here is the Simple Sketch breakdown for this project.

Country Floral | Modified Barn Fun Fold

Hello my stamping friends.

I’m sharing my second Fun Fold project today for the month of February.  I created this sweet valentine with the Country Floral DSP package found in the Spring Mini Catalog.  But remember, if you are part of my Fun Fold Class In The Mail, your template and practice sample kit will be constructed and sampled from my Retired DSP stash.

I dubbed this fun fold, the Modified Barn Fun Fold.  I consider a Barn Fold a card where the card front is two panels folded towards one another and they meet in the middle.  So this fold does do that, but it is stepped in from the edges and has a base card.  It also has an accordion fold component, which makes a really fun fold.  Lots of areas to spread out and use different  DSP panels, or similar DSP panels. Whichever way your  crafty mind prefers.

Here is the Show & Tell Video to see the whole project from start to finish. I share the template, and then take you through the preparations for the card project.  As I go through cutting the DSP for my project today, if you listen carefully, you will see or hear that I wasn’t absolutely decided on which panel would go where until I actually cut the DSP.  Yes, when crafting on the fly… things change.  But it all ended well.  Enjoy the video.

Okay, so in the video I used retired paper punches, but below I have included a die set - Stylish Shapes Dies that could be very useful as it offers multiple dies and shapes that could be used for the belly band bridge.

Dainty Flowers | Mini Accordion Fun Fold

Hello my stamping friends.

Happy New Year!  To kick off the new year and the new month, I am sharing one of my two Fun Fold templates for January with you today.  This one is Mini Accordion Fold. I say “mini”  because it has a smaller inset card that mimics our larger Accordion Fold cards.  I have received this style card in demo swaps in the past, and I am breaking it down and sharing it as one of our fun fold templates in this month’s Class In The Mail. 

So be sure to watch the Show & Tell Video to see the whole project from start to finish. I share the template, and then take you through the preparations for the card project.  Then for today’s project I am using the new Dainty Flowers DSP that will be one of the offered items in the Sale-a-bration Promotion that starts on  January 5th!

Pretty Medallion - I Believe In You

Hello my stamping friends.

I have a new stamp set I am creating today.  This is the Pretty Medallion stamp set from the Annual Catalog, and I really love the way it looks colored with the Stampin’ Blends.  I paired the project with the Stitched Greenery Die to create a textured background.  Then I pulled in the Detailed Tags Dies to create the sentiment tag with a phrase from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set.  Then I added some bling with Basic Rhinestones and White Bakers Twine. 

You can see the Daffodil Delight version of the card in the photo above, the colors for the blends I used are shown here on the right.  The colors on the left were used for a different color palette.  Some of those cards are shown below.

Daffodil Delight Old Olive Rich Razzleberry

Pumpkin Pie GrannyApple Green Highland Heather

 

Project Steps:

• Stamp the image with Memento ink since Blends are being used for the colors.

• Then use your Paper Snips to trim it out.

• Then I cut the image in half for the project.

• Now add the background textured panel to the card front.

• Then add the ½ Medallion image.

• Across the bottom of the cut edge add a paper ribbon,

• I stamped the sentiment on the die-cut tag.

• Added the White Bakers’s Twine as a bow.

• Finish it off with Basic Rhinestones.

Deck The Halls - Mini Card

Hello my stamping friends.

So there are times I just stamp to be creative and not necessarily worry about only using the current product.  I still like to share these projects with all of you though, because it inspires you to create something different, or with items you already own in your stampin’ stash.

So I was mailing packets out to some stampin’ friends with an invite to join my Fun Fold class, and was required to put a 2 oz stamp on them.  But they only weighed 1.5 oz.  So I thought, well I can’t put a full size card in them, but I wanted to add a little message for the holidays.  So I decided to try and craft an ½ oz card.  And this is where it led me.

So, I started with a quarter sheet of cardstock. Dry embossed it with the Whimsical Trees embossing folder. I wanted a fun embossed shell to the card, so this creates a mini card with embossing on the front and back! After embossing I just scored it and folded it in half with my bone folder.

Whimsical Woodland EF    159831

Then I decided I wanted a small sentiment for the front, and I have had these cute felt ornament embellishments for years.  I simply stamped the sentiment on a piece of scrap and then used a paper punch to punch it out.  Add it with a single dimensional and then looped the ornament string over the oval punch to add it.  Too Simple and Too Cute!

For the inside, since I embossed the entire ¼ sheet of cardstock, I used an inside liner scaled down to 4” x 2 ½” and stamped an inside greeting!

Now both of these stamp sets have been retired for a long time.  The embossing folder is from the 2022 Fall Mini Catalog, and is only available while supplies last.  But you can check out all the current stamp sets and embossing folders, along with other supplies in the online store.
