Stampin’ Up! Quiet Reflections

A wonderful stamp set that makes a gorgeous card. This is just one card from my April class and it’s probably my favorite. Before I stamped the image, I inked the top part in Shaded Spruce and then turned it around and inked the bottom portion in Balmy Blue. Using a dauber, I lightly blended the area where both colors overlap to avoid having a distinct line before stamping.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions

Did you get the Flight & Airy DSP during Sale-A-Bration? If so, here’s a great layout you can use that shows off the beautiful paper. Using a blending brush and Boho Blue ink pad, I lightly went over the Layered Florals 3D image. I love the 3D images more and more in the way it makes a card pop.

Alternates to Stampin’ Up! Birthday Card Organizer Kit

Have you seen the Kits Collection available at Stampin’ Up!? If not, it’s certainly worth taking some time to check out the variety of kits. I’ve had this particular kit for a while and I decided it was time to sit down and put it together. This kit is an 8” x 10” organizer to hold birthday or other celebration cards. The kit comes with everything you need to get organized and never miss out on a birthday celebration. It has pockets for each month so you can store your cards and have them ready to go. There are extra pockets in the front and back to store additional cards.

I decided to create alternate cards by cutting up a card base and an envelope. Cutting up one envelope and using it as DSP allowed me to create three cards. It’s fun cutting up the envelopes. LOL! Below is the list of colors and products used to create the alternate cards.

Kit layout and then I stepped it up the second card by adding some Linen Thread.

Cut up one card base to create these two cards.

Used a portion of an envelope, cut up card base, and pre-cut pieces.

Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Suite

This was from my March Card Class. There are a few beginners in my class and they did a fantastic job making this card as they learned to add multiple layers to their card. I’m happy to see this stamp and die set will carry over to the new Annual Catalog, however, it will no longer be sold as a Bundle. The card base is Starry Sky which will be retiring soon and has been one of my favorite colors.

A Beautiful Valentine Card Using Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Bundle

The original layout was a Pinterest find and I wish I could give credit to the original Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, however, I didn’t keep any information. I saw it and immediately made it with my own take. This one was from my January card class. The Country Bouquet is a great stamp set to use for other events like Weddings or if someone just needs a pick-me-up.

Below you will find the list of products and colors used. Products used can be purchased through my Stampin’ Up! online store unless otherwise stated. You can find my website information under “SHOP” located at the top of the page.

What’s Been Happening?

I apologize for not posting to my Blog for a few weeks. I’ve been very busy trying to juggle getting things done around the farm and checking into other social media platforms. When I find that I have some spare time to create, I just want to sit down and chill with my husband. Sometimes we just need to take a break, right?

You may know I have a Business Facebook Page called Stamping NoNo Style. I recently learned that each time I post my cards and include my Blog link to my page, Facebook doesn’t push it for people to see. Apparently, they don’t like when you have people leave the Facebook platform by providing a link. Well, this has been a game-changer for me! LOL! I’m trying some new things with Facebook, however, much of my time involving social media platforms is research.

Again, I apologize and will start back up next week. Thank you for all of the support you have given me.

Happy Stamping,

Stampin’ Up! Courage & Faith Stamp Set

Added Soft Seafoam ink to embossed image using a Blending Brush

I participated in a card swap a couple of weeks ago and a very talented Demonstrator used the Courage & Faith stamp set for her swap. These cards are CASEd from her. I made two cards, however, I changed one slightly by lightly shading the embossed piece with Soft Seafoam ink and a blending brush. There’s something about using monochromatic technique to make a card elegant.

Information about colors and products used are listed below. Products used can be purchased through my Stampin’ Up! on-line store, unless otherwise stated. You can find my website information under SHOP.
