Stamp Your Art Out!

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.

My project today is an easy yet elegant card.

Here are a few details that should help if you wish to recreate this card.

Measurements:

• Very Vanilla Thick Cardstock: 11" x 4-1/4" folded in half for card base & 5-1/4" x 4"
• Basic Black Cardstock: 5-3/8" x 4-1/8"  & 1-3/4" circle
• Sweet Sugarplum Cardstock: 3/4" x 4"  & 3/4" circle
• Eastern Palace Designer Paper (Fresh Fig subtle stripes pattern): 1-1/4" x 4"
• Eastern Palace Designer Paper (Gold petals pattern): 1" x 4"
• Eastern Palace Designer Paper (large Fresh Fig medallions pattern): 1-1/4" circle (containing one of the medallions)

Other supplies:

Eastern Beauty Stamp Set, SNAIL Adhesive, Paper Trimmer, 3/4" Circle Punch, 1-1/4" Circle Punch, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers, Paper Snips, Basic Black Archival Ink

Directions:

• Adhere the Sweet Sugarplum 3/4" circle over the Fresh Fig medallion. And then adhere this all to the Basic Black 1-3/4" circle so that everything is centered.
• Adhere the Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers that are shown over the Sweet Sugarplum 3/4" circle/Fresh Fig medallion/Basic Black 1-3/4" circle combo so that everything is centered. Cut this all in half. (Save the other half for a second card...might as well make two!)
• Attach the Gold petals pattern designer paper to the bottom of the 5-1/4" x 4" Very Vanilla piece. Attach the Sweet Sugarplum strip above that. And then attach the Fresh Fig subtle stripes pattern designer paper on top of the Sweet Sugarplum piece so that just 1/8" of it peeks out.
• Attach two inches of the gold sticker strip to the upper left of the Fresh Fig subtle stripes pattern designer paper. Then attach one inch of that same gold sticker strip to the upper right. 
• Stamp sentiment above the sticker strip gap. Stamp the dots on each side.
• Adhere the semi-circle embellishment just below the sentiment so that the straight edge of the semi-circle is in line with the straight edge of the Fresh Fig subtle stripes pattern designer paper.
• Attach this 5-1/4" x 4" Very Vanilla layer to the 5-3/8" x 4-1/8" Basic Black piece. Then attach this all to the Very Vanilla card base piece.

Tutorial Bundle Design Team April 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 April Tutorial Bundle which is now available!

I hope you like what we share! Follow along and check out all the other blogs in the hop (click on the names of other participants in the list below) so you can see a great collection of hand-stamped cards and paper crafting projects. AND...if you like what we share, you might consider purchasing the April Tutorial Bundle. Click here to learn more about how you can get this and other past tutorial bundles.

My project today is a simple accordion mini album.

Here are a few details that should help if you wish to recreate this project. By the way, MOST of these items are retiring soon. So if you want to get anything shown, I recommend doing it sooner than later before it may become sold out.

Measurements:

• Whisper White Cardstock: 14 pieces that are 3-1/2" x 3-1/2", scraps for stamping and die-cutting floral images, 4" x 1" for title on the cover
• Mint Macaron Cardstock: 3 pieces that are 5-5/8" x 3-3/4", 8" x 3" or scraps for die-cutting flowers
• Tip Top Taupe Cardstock: 12" x 4" scored in 5-7/8" from each end for the cover, 3 pieces that are 12" x 3-3/4" scored in a 5-3/4" from one end and 1/2" from the other end
• Succulent Garden Designer Paper: 5-3/8" x 3-1/2" of Sweet Sugarplum checkerboard design for cover, 4 pieces of colorful floral design that are 2" x 3-1/2", 4 pieces of mint floral design that are 2" x 3-1/2", 4 pieces of Sweet Sugarplum checkerboard design that are 2" x 3-1/2"
• Sweet Sugarplum Succulent Garden Ribbon: 28"

Tips:

• Prepare all your pieces first: stamp and die-cut all your floral embellishments, die-cut & sponge your Mint Macaron solid flowers (curl petals with bone folder), punch and stamp Whisper White title piece, and have all papers and cardstock cut and scored
• Zig-zag fold the 3 smaller pieces of taupe. Put tear & tape along the 1/2" section.

• Then the connect them, first position them inside the cover the way they will go...

• ...and slowly lift up the right side of one section at a time to remove the backing on the tape and connect the pieces.

• Close up the album and wrap around the ribbon as shown so that the middle of the ribbon is positioned at the fold (or the "binding") of the album. Use adhesive to secure the ribbon the the front. (Don't put any adhesive on the back.)

• Add the mint and designer paper cover pieces.

• Then add the rest of the papers and embellishments to the inside pages as shown.

I didn't use any Dimensionals to add the inside embellishments. And I mad sure that I didn't have any adhesives behind these flowers where photos would be going.

Here are more photos so you can see how I laid out the inside page pieces.

And this is how it closes up!

Time to decorate the front.

• Layer together the sponges, curled Mint Macaron die-cut flowers using Glue Dots and/or Fast Fuse. (Oh! and be sure to add two really small ones to the center. I didn't have those shown in the first photo of prepped supplies.)

• Use Fast Fuse to attach the mint flower to the cover. Use Dimensionals and Fast Fuse and/or Glue Dots to add the title banner. Then use Fast Fuse to add the extra flower embellishments.
