Tutorial Bundle Design Team July 2017 Blog Hop

Today our Tutorial Bundle Design Team is having our last blog hop so you'll have a chance to see similar projects to the ones we created for our July Tutorial Bundle (the last in a series of six) which is now available: http://www.stampyourartout.com/stampyourartout/tutorials-for-sale.html

I hope you like what we share!

I took some of the same products that I used to make my July tutorial project and came up with this card to share with you.

Here is some information that might be helpful if you wish to recreate this card (or a version of it).

Measurements:

Whisper White Thick Cardstock: 11" x 4-1/4" folded in half and a circle cut with the 2nd to the smallest from the Stitched Shapes Framelits circles
Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Paper: 2-1/4" x 4"
Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon: about 14"

Directions:

Ink up the flower image with Tangerine Tango ink. Stamp onto scrap paper to remove some of the ink.
Use a Sponge Dauber to sponge on more Tangerine Tango ink here and there on the rubber of the stamp.

Stamp this flower in the center of the die-cut circle. (You should get a look similar to the flowers in the designer paper - a flower with areas of dark and light orange.)

Stamp "Sending Love" verse towards the bottom of the folded card base using Memento black ink.
Stamp foliage images in Pear Pizzazz as shown.
Attach designer paper on the top half of the card front.

Tie the ombre ribbon around the card so it sits just under the designer paper. Adjust the ribbon so the knotted area is off to the right. (I lined up my knot with the larger foliage image.)
Add the die-cut circle with Dimensionals.
Use a black permanent marker (Sharpie brand is what I used) to color a small Clear Faceted Gem while it is still on the sticker sheet. Peel it off when it's dry and add it to the center of the stamped flower.

Stamp-n-Storage 4th of July Sale

If you are new to my blog, then you may not know about my crafting space. It took a LOT of planning and work (and some money, too - lol) to get my dream room. But it was so worth it! Whenever I am in it, I am happy. And that good feeling allows me to feel the MOST creative.

Think about it...if you hate your space (or even dislike it), you go into it with a less than positive attitude. And when you have any negativity, it takes effort to block that when creating. Blah! That's how I used to feel. I'd even pull out my supplies and create in my kitchen just to avoid the aura of my yucky room. My crafting space was never used. Things piled up because I didn't even want to be in it.

I'm not saying you have to totally revamp everything to have a happy space. But sometimes a little organization is all you need.

For example: have a place for your ink pads so they aren't closed away in a plastic tote that you have to keep pulling out and weeding through to find that ONE color. In this photo below, you can see my ink pad, marker and ink refill organizer on the shelf behind my cards.

It's from a company that I adore...Stamp-n-Storage! And starting today they are having a sale on their ink pad storage systems. There are many to choose from. I love that when I need a color, all I have to do is look up and grab it. Storing my ink pads this way keeps my room attractive even though my inks are right out in the open.

Purchase any Ink Pad Storage system now through July 5th and get 15% off! Click here to view the choices.
Discounts will be applied automatically during the checkout process.

In case you are curious, these are the Stamp-n-Storage products I own...

12”x12” Paper Storage Units for Kallax/Ikea (6 of these)..13”x13”
Lock-down punch holder 64 slots, 30-3/4” wide
Ribbon Shelf...32-1/2” wide
Combo ink pad, marker, reinker holder for 60 colors, 30-13/16” wide
Corner shelf w/back
Standard ink pad holder for 36 pads, 13” wide
a Medium Die Shelf
Stamp-n-Storage Wafer Die Storage
Stamp-n-Storage Magnetic Sheets & Dividers

And just recently I acquired these two paper crates with a rolling base (so I can wheel these stackable crates around in my room)! I store mine under my taller table.

Two Paper Crates 12x12 with a Rolling Base

I recorded a video where I give a tour of my new crafting space. If you are looking for inspiration or ideas, CLICK HERE to view it.

Thanks for checking out what I had to share today. Be sure to stop back tomorrow for my monthly Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop. Yippee!! I can't wait to show you what I've created with my June kit! Never tried Paper Pumpkin kits? Then you’ll want to visit tomorrow to get the details on Paper Pumpkin’s surprise deal for new subscribers. This offer will come and go in a flash, so don’t miss it!

Tutorial Bundle Design Team June 2017 Blog Hop

Today our Tutorial Bundle Design Team is having another blog hop, so you'll have a chance to see similar projects to the ones we created for our June Tutorial Bundle which is now available! http://www.stampyourartout.com/stampyourartout/tutorials-for-sale.html

I hope you like what we share!

Today I am taking some of the same elements that are in my June tutorial project and sharing with you a simpler, quicker, and less-messy version of what you can do with them.

In fact the elements that you see in this card are a few of the pieces I sent to members of my Stampers With ART community for our May Facebook team Gathering's make-n-take projects.

Here is some information that might be helpful if you wish to recreate this card (or a version of it).

Measurements:

Basic Black Cardstock: 11" x 4-1/4" and 3-1/2" x 4-3/4"
Shimmery White Cardstock: 5-1/4" x 4" and 2" x 1/2"
Sweet Sugarplum Cardstock: 5-1/4" x 4" and 2" x 1/2"
Berry Burst Cardstock: 5-1/4" x 2-1/8"
Berry Burst 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon: about 2-1/2"

Directions:

Cut the small strips of Sweet Sugarplum and Shimmery White cardstock so they look like banners. Stamp the words "congratulations" and "celebrate" on them.
Die-cut the 3-1/2" x 4-3/4 piece of Basic Black Cardstock. Attach the Berry Burst ribbon and the Sweet Sugarplum "congratulations" strip to the upper left corner of this Basic Black piece, and then trim the ends of the pink pieces to line up with the left edge of the Basic Black cardstock.
Attach to the 5-1/4" x 4" Shimmery White piece at a slight angle.
Attach the 5-1/4" x 4" Shimmery White piece to the Basic Black card base. Then attach some pink Glitter Enamel Dots for embellishments.
Attach the Shimmer White "celebrate" strip to the 5-1/4" x 2-1/8" Berry Burst piece. Trim up the white strip to align with the left edge of the Berry Burst piece if necessary. Add this and the 5-1/4" x 4" Sweet Sugarplum piece to the inside of the card.
