Friday's Stop & Stamp Cards

Edited to add: I totally forgot to mention here on my blog about the Land Cruise Party that we'll be having in GinaK's Forum tonight!!

There will be contests, challenges, samples, and an awesome Cruising Special that you're not going to want to miss!! I won't be able to stop in the Forum until after we get back from church tonight, but I have a few samples of the challenges that I'll be sharing. I hope you can join us!



Good morning!

Here's the two cards we'll be making at this Friday, October 24th at my monthly Stop & Stamp class at GinaK Designs. This monthly event isn't a traditional class - it's more like a Make-n-Take on steriods! heehee..

I have 2 tables set up - one card at each one along with all the supplies that it takes to make the card. You start where you want, work at your own pace, and get to try out several new products and techniques. I mingle between the two tables and offer help when needed, demonstrate any techniques that may be unknown or new and sometimes even get a chance to stamp along with everyone! It's always a lot of fun!

This first card uses Basic Grey's Eva paper pack, Nestabilities, Kooh-i-noor pencils, OMS, Doodlebug Glitter & flock, Fiskar's Threading Water border punch, and Tim Holtz's Sanding Block. See - I told you I try to pack as much as I can into each card! lol!

Here's a close-up of the flower pot and the Scalloped Oval ... I wish you could see the purple glitter and the black flock a little better...

The second card is one of my most popular card designs. It's such a quick, yet elegant card to make and I'm excited that we'll be doing it together on Friday.

Each person can choose their own color scheme for this card. We have a Neutral DCWV paper stack to choose from and a large variety of Prima Flowers to decorate the leaf with. I chose this Rusty brown because I love this color so much right now.

We'll be using the Cuttlebug Leafy Embossing Folder, Tim Holtz's sanding block, Prima Flowers, Liquid Pearls, Twill Ribbon, Metallic Rub-on Paste, and Nestabilities Label Dies. Once again - lots of fun stuff to play with!

I hope you'll be able to stamp with Shelly, Karen, and I on Friday! Be sure to stop by between 11-7. The cost is $5 or free with a $50 purchase that day in the store. And, Gina is offering a fun little treat for everyone who stops by to make cards with me on Friday: Choose 5 free sheets of Bazzil Cardstock!

Have a great day!

October SU Class Cards

Good morning!

I thought I'd take a break from Christmas cards today to share the cards we made at last week's Stampin Up monthly class. I kept the cards super simple this time.

We made 2 cards together using this beautifully elegant stamp set called Kind Thoughts. It's not new to Stampin Up, but it is new to me as I just got it late this summer. We also used the new In Color Tangerine Tango along with the new Haiku Designer paper - which are both perfect for this time of the year!

For each card, we cut out an inside liner using the adorable new Top Note die - doesn't this look so cute!? For an added decoration, we stamped this medalion in versamark and embossed in white and then punched it out with the Scallop circle punch and added a clear rhinestone brad for the center. It makes me so happy that it works so well with Stampin Up's Scallop Circle!

I think the inside of the card is as pretty as the outside!

While I focused on the designer paper for the first card, the second card uses no patterned paper. That hardly ever happens anymore because I love patterned paper and have a lot of it, but loved how clean and simple - yet elegant this looked.

I pulled out one of my favorite In Colors from last year - River Rock and was really pleased with how well it worked with this year's Tangerine Tango. After cutting out the Top Note, we stamped the Flourish in versamark and embossed with white detail embossing powder. To add a little bling, we used a Fire Rhinestone Brad along with a snip of the Tangerine Ribbon off to the side.

Here's a close-up of the Medalion... see how well it works with the Scallop circle? That rhinestone is perfect - I love these Rhinestone stickers and got them from GinaK Designs. You can also see how nice the Top Note Stitching is - and the die does all the work! Yahoo!

Have a great rest of your day and thank you so much for stopping by!

Country Christmas Angel

Good morning!

Here's another Christmas card for you! This is another one that I shared during the Release party at the beginning of the month...

This country angel is from Asela Hopkin's Christmas Blessings Stamp set. I stamped her on a Petite Oval Nestability shape cut out from Watercolor paper that I sponged with Inkssentials Foam Blending tool and one of Tim Holtz Distress inks... I just can't remember which one right now, sorry! The angel was stamped in black Versafine ink and embossed with Clear Detail Embossing Powder.

I watercolored her with a Niji waterbrush and Stampin Up reinkers: Old Olive, Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip, Caramel, Summer Sun, Close to Cocoa. Then, I highlighted a few lines with Stickles.

The saying was stamped and embossed on watercolor paper and punched out with Stampin Up's new large Oval punch. To add a little country touch, I tied a gingham ribbon to a little Making Memories safety pin and added it to the oval punch out.

Have you started making your Christmas cards yet? I haven't really begun that yet... I've been so busy making a variety of cards that I need to start making several to keep on hand to get ready for Christmas!

Have a great rest of your day and thanks for stopping by!

Winter Church

Good afternoon!

Since I've been sharing Christmas cards this week, I thought I'd show this one that I made with Asela's new Christmas Blessings Stamp set. I showed it during the Release party earlier this month but haven't on my blog yet.

I am loving this color combination a lot lately - Sage Shadow, Handsome Hunter, and Vanilla. I cut out a Petite Oval Nestability from Stampin Up's Very Vanilla cardstock and embossed the edges. To highlight the edges, I rubbed Metallic Rub-on Paste over it. I love how easy that stuff is to use and how much it emphasizes the embossing.

Then, I stamped the church in Versamark ink and Embossed with Detail Gold embossing powder. I used Stampin Up's slot punch to allow me to thread some retired SU ribbon through it.

I used the Swirls Cuttlebug folder on the Sage Shadow cardstock and then rubbed the Inkssentials Foam Blending tool and Tim Holtz Old Paper distress ink to age it. The Sateen flowers were layered to make white poinsettias and the tiny rhinestones added just the right sparkle to the centers.

It took me longer to explain the card than it did to make it! LOL!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Christmas Ornaments

Good evening!

I'm sorry I still haven't uploaded some of the new cards I've been working on... time hasn't been on my side this week - or even the past few weeks. But, the cruise work is done for me and I can breathe again and stamp for fun. I'm still not feeling well though - this cold is really hanging on and aggravating me. But, I'm looking forward to some fun stamping time tomorrow in my craft room.

Tonight's card is another one I made with Rupa's The Magic of Christmas set that I shared during the Release party. There is a lot going on with this card and I was so happy with how it all turned out. And I love how the elegance of Gina's White Satin ribbon adds so much to the card. It's one of the ribbons you receive with her Holiday Pure Luxury Ribbon Collection.

When I first saw Rupa's set, I thought immediately of those Outline Stickers that Stampendous and Magenta makes - do you know which ones I'm talking about? They are so elegant and were my first introduction to Sakura's Glaze & Souffle Pens (which are used to color inside the outline shapes). I wanted to simulate those stickers, so I stamped the ornaments on acetate in Versafine Black ink and embossed with Clear embossing powder.

To make the ornaments a little darker, I probably should have used Colored embossing powder, but I was afraid of all the stray speckles that might show up on the acetate. To color the ornaments, I got out my Sakura Glaze Pens and colored right over the embossing.

To frame the window, I used my favorite shape of Nestabilities: Rectangles. I cut the rectangle and the window at the same time - the easiest way to do it, I think. To highlight all the edges and embossing, I used the holiday Rub-on Embossing paste: Silver. It's a brighter silver than you find in the Original Metallic palette.

I cut a rectangle the same size as the window out of SU's whisper white cardstock and embossed with the Textile Embossing folder and then popped the whole thing onto the Swirls Embossed Cardfront. I used two of the new SU In Colors: Pacific Point & Red Ridinghood.

Boy, that took a long time to explain... but it didn't take long to make, I promise! heehee... It actually went together rather quickly once I figured out the window.

Judging by all the orders that have been shipped out since October's Release, many of you are loving this stamp set as much as I do! It's such a beautiful set that makes it so easy to create simple, but stunning Christmas cards.

Be sure to check in tomorrow as I'll be having some blog candy up for grabs! It's been a while since I had a giveaway and I've been saving some goodies to share here on my blog. I'll let you know all about it in tomorrow's post!

Have a great night!

Day 2: Sneak Peeks

Good morning!

Weren't yesterday's cards from everyone fabulous?! I hope you had a chance to check out everyone's beautiful projects.

Today, I get to share 2 more cards made with 2 more new stamp sets. The first one is Asela Hopkin's Christmas Blessings.

Aren't these poinsettia's beautiful!? I used my favorite cuttlebug folder, Leafy Branch and embossed the Sage Shadow card front. Then, using Frayed Burlap Distress Ink & the Inkssentials Blending tool, I shaded the entire paper, making sure to highlight the embossing.

The flowers are stamped in gold Encore ink and embossed with Detail Clear Embossing powder on Watercolor paper. Then, I watercolored them flowers with Ruby Red SU reinkers. The centers of the flowers were dotted with gold stickles.

There are several beautiful images in Asela's set along with words and phrases that can fit any holiday saying need. Asela's stamps are always fun to color and this one is no exception. I have a few more cards that I've made that I'll share during the release party this Thursday night.

Gina, Asela, Joanne, Emily, Melanie, Cathy, and Lee also have projects to share with us made with this set. Be sure to visit their blogs to see the beautiful eyecandy!

*********

Next up, is the Free with Three stamp set by Gina called Winter Foliage.

You're going to love this beautiful little stamp set. While I had the stamp set out last week, I had so much fun playing with different techniques with the images and words in it. I was playing with bleach, alcohol reinkers, markers, paper punches... but you'll have to wait until Thursday night to see the results of all those fun supplies! Yep, I'm a tease...

This was the last card I made when I was playing around in my stamp room that day. I got out my Stampin Up Real Red and Garden Green marker and colored directly on the mistletoe stamp and stamped randomnly all over this piece of whisper white scrap paper. I loved the details this gave the stamp, so quickly threw the card together as an after thought. Funny thing is, I think it's my favorite one that I made with this set! Isn't that funny how that works sometimes?

Few details... I used the new Holiday Embossing Rub-on paste to edge the cardfront as well as all the pieces of paper. I used the Threading Waters Fiskars border punch that Gina carries in her online store. To add a little more to it, I pierced the point of each scallop with my paper piercer. I love the little touch this adds to the scallop pattern.

Notice that ribbon - yep, is part of the Holiday Luxury ribbon that will be available this Thursday night. You'll get 12 different ribbons - 1 yard of each kind - for an awesome price. I cut all that ribbon for you and Shelly and Gina packaged it! We spent the entire time 'petting' the ribbons - they are so soft! Gina will also be carrying Silver and Gold cording!! Yahoo! It's been so hard to find since Stampin Up retired it - but it's back!

Gina, Emily, Melanie, Carolyn, Lee, Kurtis, and Asela have been busy creating with this versatile stamp set too. Check out their blogs for some more eyecandy this morning. You won't be sorry!

Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to check back in tomorrow for Melanie's 2 stamp sets sneak peeks!

Cammie's Amazing Blog Candy!

Good morning!

Have you heard about Carolyn King's amazing blog candy yet?? You have until Friday, September 26th to enter to win over $1000 worth of product.

To be entered to win, she asked for a card to be sent to someone who has Alzheimers or to the nursing home where her grandmother spent her last days. My grandmother also had Alzheimers for many years before she died. I was born on her birthday - so it was always so special sharing a birthday cake with her. Her twin sister, my Great Aunt Helen is still alive and we make sure to exchange birthday cards each year.

Here's the card I sent out:

Have a great rest of your day and good luck winning Cammie's awesome prize!

Nestabilities Class Cards

Good evening!

I'm popping in quickly to share the cards we'll be making at tomorrow's nestabilities class at GinaK's store. The class is from 11:30 - 1:30 and we still have some open spots if you are looking for a way to spend your Friday morning!

I meant to share these cards with you earlier today, but time got away from me... you can relate, right?

Just a few details on the specifics of the cards...

* The wheelbarrow is colored with Koh-i-noor pencils, OMS, and blending stumps. I added a few 'shine' marks with the white pencil that comes with the set. Also, do you see those 'red' brads? They are actually pewter, but I colored the tops of the brads with my Copic R27 marker.

* The second card features Basic Grey's Offbeat Paper - which is sanded with the new Tim Holtz sanding block we just got in the store. It is so cool! The pumpkin is paper pieced of course, since I seem to be addicted to that technique lately! The shading around it is done with a variety of copic markers.

Have a great night! I'm looking forward to tomorrow's class - maybe I'll see you there?

Bushel of Apples Sketch

Good morning!

I mentioned last night that I had some time yesterday afternoon to play with Cammie's sketch that she shared with us here. The card I'm sharing today doesn't follow it completely, but it was the spring board for it, that's for sure.

I didn't want to cover up that awesome new cuttlebug folder, so I decided to leave the rectangle off - but kept most of the other elements the same. The card itself is pretty straight-forward, so I won't go into the details too much except to say that the paper is all from that amazing Basic Grey Paper pack Ambrosia... yummy! And, that I used the Holiday Rub-on Paste that Gina just added to her online store on Friday... see the red shading?

Have a great day! I have one more sketch card to share with you tomorrow!

Thanks for stopping by!

Card Details: Whimsical Autumn, Basic Grey Ambrosia, Scallop Corner Punch, Corner rounder, Liquid Pearls, Nestabilities, Holiday Metallic Rub-on Paste, Copic Markers, Crystal Lacquer, SU large eyelet & ribbons, Cuttlebug & Fall Words Embossing Folder, sanding block

So Grateful for Autumn

Scrapbook Details: So Grateful, DCWV patterned paper & choc paper, SU solid cardstock; Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, SU buttons, DMC floss, Crystal Lacquer, Clear Sakura Glitter Pen, Judikins Straw Speckles, Copic Markers, Fiskars Threading Water border punch, SU eyelets, Basic Grey Archaic Fibers, Ribbons, Sanding Block

I am in LOVE with Rupa Shevde's stamp set, So Grateful. The images and verses that she has included in her set are some of my favorites this month. Rupa is one of the most giving ladies that I've met - right along there with Gina. For a limited time, a generous portion of the proceeds of the sales of this stamp set will be donated to Feed the Children. This promotion will end at the end of the day on Thanksgiving.


When I pulled her set out to work with over the weekend, I decided to use a few images to make a couple of 6x6 scrapbook pages. These particular pumpkin patch photos are a few years old, and they have so many fun memories associated with them. I especially love the photo of my husband and son with their hands in their pockets walking through the pumpkin fields together on the hunt for the perfect pumpkin! Be sure to click on all the photos in this post so you can get a closer look at all the details.




All the images were colored in with Copic Markers and watercolored Sakura-style and then coated with Clear Crystal Lacquer. The photo above shows a little bit of the amazing sparkle that is on all the stamped images. I debated about whether or not I should put glitter and crystal lacquer on the pumpkins and apples and am glad that I decided to go with the sparkle since it matches the DCWV paper.

What do you think of my straw speckles? I bought a small jar of Judikins Straw Speckles a few years ago at a local scrapbook store. Gina made fun of me for buying sawdust... which is exactly what it looks like! heehee... But, it only cost me $1.99 and I've got LOTS left - so since I don't have access to sawdust, it was a bargain to me! heehee... It adds so much to images like these, don't you think?

Be sure to check out everyone else's awesome samples with this beautiful stamp set called So Grateful!

I love my Cuttlebug Embossing Folders!

Good morning!

Yesterday's trip to Chicago was a profitable one for Isaiah and Ashley - and Brad! The kids got a few Lego sets that they have been busily building since we got home last night. And, Brad picked out an Cycle-Cross Bicycle that he's been eyeing for awhile. We had yummy hotdogs at Chicago's famous Portillos for lunch after our time at the Lego Discovery Center, which was pretty neat. The kids had a lot of fun and so did Brad and I. Ashley even got to build a Lego duck with one of their Lego Designers who opened his office for visitors. It was a great family day!

Now, on to the cards for today...

Aren't cuttlebug embossing folders the best?! I love mine and use them as often as I can on my projects. The cards I'm sharing today are some that I have on display at Gina's store showing the folders and Koh-i-noor OMS coloring.

For the first card, I inked the folder with versamark before I put the paper inside. Then, I ran it through the machine. After that, I sprinkled the paper with Stampin Up's Iridescent Ice Embossing powder and heat set it. The sparkle with this embossing powder is so fun. The coloring is all done with Koh-i-noor pencils, OMS, and blending stumps, while the shading on all three cards is done with a cotton ball and Pebbles Pearlescent Chalks.

For the next card, I inked the same snowflake folder with Stampin Up's basic gray ink and embossed basic gray cardstock. No sparkle here, just subtle shading. There is liquid applique and glitter on his Santa hat and cuffs - I love using that stuff together. The glitter helps the liquid applique to puff nicely - not so crazy like it can on it's own.

This last card shows how rich some tone on tone colors can be together. I used Caramel ink and caramel paper. I stamped a variety of images from this set to make a beachy scene. Doesn't he look like he's inviting people over for a party at his sand castle? LOL! There is a hint of Crystal Lacquer on this card. I love that stuff too!

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great rest of your day!

Class Cards and Audition Time

Hi there!

I spent the morning at the dentist getting my teeth cleaned, so my post is going up a little later than usual today. Unlike most people, I love going to my dentist. He has done a great job taking care of my teeth and all the ladies at the office have become some of my best stamping friends! They have come to many of my Stampin Up classes that I hold in my home and now have started taking classes with me at Gina's store. How fun is that?

These two cards are the ones we'll be making tomorrow at my Peerless Watercolors Class at Gina's store. These paints are so fun - they are very blendable and vibrant. The cool thing about this class is that every student ends up going home with a Peerless Palette that I've made up for them to use in the class. I use my Palette exclusively when I'm painting with them. It has lasted me a long time and I use it a lot!

We'll be using an aqua painter and a flat watercolor brush to paint 3 ways with these Watercolors. The first card show 2 techniques: watercolor washing (for the background) and painting the watercolors directly on the rubberstamp before stamping the image. The second card also shows a modified watercolor washing and then traditional watercoloring with an aquapainter.

These paints blend beautifully and allow you to layer colors over the top of them without them muddying up. (Is that even a word? LOL!) A great example of that is the brown sand and the green grass on the card above. I painted the brown sand over the entire bottom of the image - going right over the blades of grass. After it dried, I was able to add the green grass and it stands out great over the brown.

One thing that is really important in using these paints (and other watercolors), is to make sure that you have a good heavy, high quality watercolor paper. I used a 140lb. Cold Press watercolor paper. Because the paper is so heavy, it held up really well and didn't buckle at all. I used my heat gun to dry the image after my watercolor washing because I use a lot of water for this technique.

**************************************************************************

Also, here's a reminder of an awesome opportunity that I want to make sure you don't miss out on. I've taken this information directly from Gina's Blog....

Simple Cuttlebug Cards

Good morning!

Today's cards were made with one of my newest favorite Cuttlebug Embossing Folders. I embossed the folder on DCWV paper. The camera really picked up the awesome texture of their cardstock. I used a sanding block to distress the embossing so that it could reveal the white core that DCWV paper has.

Then, to decorate the leaves I added some white and cream prima flowers and put a Hero Arts mini pearl back to the centers. The stamp sayings are from Asela Hopkin's Flowers for Daisy stamp set. The saying label on the front of the card is the longest Nestability ribbon label. I've been so happy to see that most of the sayings from GinaK's stamps fit on the two sets of Nestability label dies that I have.

I also showed the inside of the cards. I think it adds so much to your card if you have to time to finish off the inside, don't you? I don't always take the time to do it but have been trying to make more of an effort to do it lately.



I ended up making 8 of these cards to have on hand. Sympathy cards are always needed, but not the easiest ones to do. I wanted these cards to have a sense of hope and renewal ... and I think those little delicate flowers helped achieve that.

For those of you who are interested in September's Class List for GinaK's store, you may want to scroll to the bottom of my blog page. I've added a calendar that lists all the classes I'm offering for next month. We're adding several daytime classes this month - which I'm really excited about! To sign up for any of the classes, call Gina's store at (608) 579-1026 or email me at jessjean12@gmail.com . Gina will be adding the list to her website soon.

Have a great day!

Sea Worthy

Hi!

Today's cards were made with some fun Stampin Up stamps. The first one uses Crab & Company and Family Phrases. I love how some of the words from Family Phrases fit well on the My Way Arrow punch from SU! The clam is watercolored on craft paper & cut out with a petite circle Nestability. It's a thank you card for a Christmas gift - thus the Santa hat.

The last two cards use Ahoy Matey and the coordinating wheel. I recently found the word stamp "you are my soul matey" at my Local Stamping store and had to pick it up as it works great with this set! I think it's by Memory Box.

The images were stamped on watercolor paper and watercolored with my Aqua Painter and SU Watercolor Crayons. Not a lot of embellishing going on since I was trying to make them masculine and not girly! Just some ribbon strips and crystal brads added to them to finish the cards off.

Have a great rest of your day!

Jessica

Lovebird Owls

Card Details: Owl Always love You; SU cardstock: Going gray, Choc chip, Basic Black, WW, Artichoke; Versafine Black ink; Copic Markers; Spica Glitter Pens, Sakura Glaze Pen; Pebbles Pearlescent Chalks & Cotton ball; CraftT Embossing paste;Ribbon; Queen & Co. brads; Cuttlebug & Embossing folders with going gray & artichoke inks to rub on folder before embossing


Good morning!


Have you noticed how popular owls have become? Every stamp company has an owl stamp - but Gina's are my favorite! These owls have personality, don't they? Those eyes and bellies... so adorable! The two cards I'm sharing with you today are made with one of the owl stamps from her Owl Always Love You stamp set.


The first card is colored with Copic Markers and shaded with Pebbles Pearlescent Chalks & CraftT Embossing Paste. A Spica green pen was added to highlight the middle of the leaves and the orange pen highlights their talons. To add a subtle shine to their eyes, beak, talon, and leaves, I used Sakura's Clear Glaze pen. This pen is great because it dries quickly - which is great for classes!


Card Details: Owl Always love You; Stazon; Koh-i-noor Pencils, OMS, blending stumps; Crystal Lacquer; Cuttlebug, Petite Oval Nestabilities; SU spiral punch; SU kraft tafetta ribbon; SU vanilla cardstock; CraftT Embossing paste

The second card is embossed with a petite oval nestability and colored with Koh-i-noors, OMS, and blending stumps. Their eyes, beaks, and talons are coated with a layer of Crystal Lacquer. I'm not sure why it looks 'milky' in the picture - it's clear in person. The edges of the vanilla cardbase is shaded with a touch of Metallic CraftT Embossing Paste.


Have a great Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!

Easy Gift Card Sets

Hi!

I have a quick post today sharing some quick and easy Cuttlebug Cards. I love to make card sets like these ones for new moms. I usually make up 12 - 15 thank you cards as part of my gift to the new mom. Since finding the Cuttlebug, these projects go quicker than ever!

I have always loved the look of dry embossing, but don't like the time it takes to do it by hand - so when I saw the Cuttlebug embossing folders... I was sold! They keep on coming out with more and more new designs which I love.

Today we received 9 of the new Embossing folders in Gina's store in McFarland. It was a great morning to work, don't you think? As I was stocking and pricing them, I got to take the first ones!! heehee...

Here's what she's got in stock: Houndstooth, Leafy Branch, Bird Call, Argyle, Floral Screen, Forest Branches, Just my Type, Border with Love, Border Frills. She also has several of the older ones in stock like Swiss Dots, Perfect Paisley, Birds and Swirls, and Floral Fantasy if you are still looking for them!

Did you hear the big Stampin Up news? Stampin Up has partnered with Sizzix and will be selling the Big Shot Cutting System and several exclusive Stampin Up dies beginning in September. I'm so excited about this addition - I hope they come up with some embossing folders too! Here the informational flyer that I downloaded from the SU demo website that shows what will be offered in September.

Thanks for stopping by! I'm on my way down to my craft room to go play with my new embossing folders!

Have a great day - and keep cool! Whew... it's a hot one today!!

Jessica
