I hope you are having a great week-end, and thank-you for stopping by today! Happy Stamping, Karla 😀

Stamped Gifts to Give

 Hello & welcome! The Sisters in Stamping are making some hand-stamped Christmas gifts. Here is my contribution for today--

I used the stamp set Ringed with Nature (#159883, $23.00) to decorate my white gift bag. Can you guess what's inside?

It's a Hot Cocoa Kit, marshmallows, peppermint stir sticks and some Swiss Miss cocoa.

Thank-you for coming back, been away for a couple of weeks-- but I'm back now. 😀  

Happy Stamping, Karla 

Sunday Color Combo

Well hello! I've taken the last couple of weeks off but, I'm back this week with a pretty Fall Color Color Combination from the Sisters in Stamping seen below.

Here is my card for this challenge--

 
I used my Paper Trimmer (#152392, $25.00) to make 1/2 inch slits in the Old Olive card stock and used a basket weave (over 2, under 1) to create the background. The beauty of this technique is you can change this look of the card by changing the colors you use, or even use Designer Series Paper. 

Thank-you for coming by today!

 Happy stamping, Karla 😊  

Redo Sunday

 Hello! Welcome to another Sunday Fun Day! The Sisters in Stamping are picking an old project and remaking with current supplies, here is my card--

I used the stamp set called Nature's Harvest, really like the gold and the Orchid Oasis together. This technique is called Faux Postage, you can click on this link to try the technique for yourself. While this card is lovely I think I like the first card that I made below.

Here is the original post for this card. I used this card for a swap, a Make & Take and for a Class in January 2012. 

Thank-you for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping, Karla 😀

Don't Throw it Away!

 Use it to craft with! 😄 That's the theme at the Sisters in Stamping this week. Here is my project for today's challenge--

Here is what I started with:

The ribbon came from a black sweater-- sewn into the shoulders to keep it on a hanger.

The paper was some leftover scented drawer liner.

Make sure you go over the Sisters blog and check out what the others are showing off!

Happy Stamping, Karla 😊

I took a closer picture of my Vellum, I embossed Stitched Greenery die (#155451, $32.00) and then colored the back side with a Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends marker. I also used a Stampin' Blends marker in Petal Pink to color the ribbon.

Accessorizing!

Well hello and welcome to another Sunday Fun Day, this week's Sisters in Stamping is all about Accessorizing! Here is my card--

Isn't it pretty! I can't keep my hands off those new Iridescent Rhinestones (#158130, $7.50/200) I love the AB sheen on them! It's that rainbow effect of an oil sheen on water. (AB stands for Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights) I really like the layered look of this card. Here is what the full stamp set looks like:

 

Forever Fern (#152559, $24.00)

But the stars of this card are the coordinating Forever Flourishing dies (#152714, $36.00). I used the large fern die to create my own mask for the embossing paste. 

Thank-you for coming by!

Happy Stamping, Karla 😊

CASE'ing the NEW 2022-23 Idea Book & Catalog

The Sisters in Stamping are CASE'ing this week! Here is my card--

 I really enjoy CASE'ing (Copy And Stamp Everything). With the arrival of every Catalog I make sure to go through it trying to spot card samples that I can tweak to make my own. Take my card today for example, I like the simplicity of it and I changed it up a bit using a different color. Here is a picture of it in the Idea Book & Catalog (pg.76):

The End is Near!

Hey! It's Sunday Fun Day again, and the Sisters in Stamping are saying so long to the 2022 Mini Catalog, here is my card for today--

 I used the stamp set called Catch You Later (pg.63, #158037, $23.00).  I fell in love with this little cat image from the set as soon I saw it! Stamped the image in Stazon ink and used ink pads to color it in (Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Sea Foam, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede). Here is a quick link to the catalog, there are a few sets that didn't make it into the New 2022-23 Idea Book & Catalog.

Owl Shaped Card Today

Hello! The Sisters in Stamping are making shaped cards this week, here is my card--

 Love the fun color combo Blush Blossom, Pear Pizzaz, Flirty Flamingo and Pale Papaya. I traced my template (below) on Blushed Blossom stamped it with the stamp set Spiral Dye (#156927, $17.00) in Flirty Flamingo. The used the die set called Tasteful Labels-- which by the way is retiring soon (#152886, $31.00) for the eyes and the sentiment.

To make my template I cut a sheet from my pad of Stampin' Up! placemats, 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I folded the piece in 1/2 lengthwise and rounded the corner and pointed the top to form the ears.

I used the scalloped Heart Punch for the wings and beak.

Here is a picture of the card standing, you can see his little wings are folded up.

Come back next week, the Sisters will be showing some projects made with retiring stamp sets.

Happy Stamping! Karla 😊
