Tuesday Tutorial # 5

Here's one of the New In-Colors that I love! It is Watermelon Wonder.
Have you ever seen a red work quilt? If you're a quilter you probably know what I'm talking about. Well this card is pieced similar to a quilt I made a few years ago. I also ran it through an embossing folder so it looks like it has been quilted.

This is my Tuesday Tutorial card and I have all the supplies and instructions ready for you. This is how you get them...


I will send you the Tuesday Tutorial by email if you will send me your email address requesting to be added to my Tuesday Tutorial list (please send it to me privately to the email listed in my contacts and put in the subject line "add me to TT list"). This list will ONLY be used to send out the TT each week, it will not be used for marketing in any manner whatsoever.

Or, come back each week and download the Tutorial Here!

 

This is the Stampin' Up! stamp set that I used for this Tuesday Tutorial Quilt card

Perfect Pennants

2nd of 5 CASEd Stampin' Up! Cards

Welcome back to my series of CASEd cards.

CASE is a term used quite a bit by Shelli Gardner the co-founder of Stampin' Up! She encourages people to Copy And Share Everything. She doesn't necessarily mean that people should make identical copies of the cards that are in the Stampin' Up! catalogs, but she doesn't rule that out.

In this series I Copy the layout and switch out the paper, stamps, and ink.

Here's today's switch. Can you find the original in the Stampin' Up! Spring Occasions catalog?

I used Vanilla Naturals card stock as the base. Then I sponged hearts on it using the Decorative Hearts mask and Melon Mambo ink. I also sponged Melon Mambo ink around the outside edges of the card front.

The frame is a photo frame from the On Film framelit Big Shot die cutter set. I used Tempting Turquoise card stock.

The banner is die cut with the Banners framelit Big Shot die cutter set. I used Daffodil Delight card stock and stamped a sentiment from the Perfect Pennants set using Rich Razzleberry ink. I sponged Melon Mambo on the edges. Then I glued a strip of Sweet Taffy Designer Series paper to the top of the banner and cut 3 small banners from the same paper. I strung them all on a piece of white Baker's twine.
The heart is also from the Perfect Pennants stamp set. I stamped it with Melon Mambo ink and hand cut it. Then I cut a banner, with a Bitty Banner Framelit, from Rich Razzleberry card stock and stamped "friend" (from the Peachy Keen stamp set) on the heart. I layered the heart onto the Bitty Banner and adhered it to the card using Dimensionals.

Thanks for checking out my blog today. Please say HI! and come back to check out by blog tomorrow.

Have a Happy Stamping Day!

Sea Street Postcard

I wanted to make a quick postcard to send out so I grabbed the Sea Street set that was still sitting on my desk and created this quick postcard.

I used Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, and Melon Mambo ink pads. I also used Marina Mist, Melon Mambo and Pool Party Stampin' Write markers to color the school of fish.

On the back side I used the Stampin' Up! postcard (now retired).

When I create postcards to send in the mail I spray an art fixative on the front and back to set the ink. Both the printer ink and the Classic Stampin' inks will run if they get wet and you never know what kind of weather the mail will be subject to.

Sometimes I use clear contact paper on the front and back of postcards after I have completed the stamping and writing of my message. That will make a postcard stronger and help it last a little longer.

Thanks for looking!

Sea Street Stampin' Up! Card

It is really overdue for me to post a new card! I have not been inspired to stamp for about a week. I did create at least 15 scrapbook pages. I finally pulled out all my Project Life supplies and some really old photos that I wanted to get into scrapbooks so that I can look at them once in awhile. I didn't do any stamping or embellishing, I hope to do that another time. I found, after I sorted them in the order that I wanted them in the book, it was not easy choosing the photo sleeve pages to put them in. I guess I need to get a few more page configurations.

I finally got a card made today. I really like this cute set from the new Stampin' Up! catalog. It's called Sea Street and reminds me of the graphics you might find on signs and buildings while strolling through a seaside town. I am going to be making a bunch of birthday cards and thank you cards with this set. I used a greeting from the Perfect Pennant set; the Sea Street set doesn't have any sentiments in it.

 

I used the colors that Hand Stamped Sentiments is currently challenging stampers to try. And I used the card technique that Technique Time Tuesday is featuring this month.
