Delightful Daisy Z Fold Video

Today's Video features a Creative Z Fold Card using the beautiful Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper.  One of the prints is this pack of paper is bold and beautiful, but you may be challenged on what to do with it.  I think you will find this creative fold to be just the answer to show the paper off.

I started with two piece of Tranquil Tide Card Stock that measured 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".  The Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper measures 4" x 5 1/4".   For the card base I used Whisper White Card Stock and it measures 4" x 10 1/2" and it's scored at 2 5/8" x 5 1/4".  I simply stamped two greetings and the card is done.  How simple is that?

Stampin' Up! has so many beautiful Designer Series Papers to make card making a snap.

The Daisy Delight Bundle is my featured PDF for this month.  If you have not placed your online order to receive this Exclusive PDF you need to do so soon as it will be ending in a few short days.

 

Time is ticking away on this amazing deal.  No obligation just endless opportunities.  Check It Out.

Creative Inking Blog Hop - Two Step Stamping

I am glad you joined us for our Blog Hop Two Step Stamping.  Two Step Stamping is what hooked me on rubber stamping.  It is a great way to get a WOW factor in short time.

Tranquil Tulips is my favorite two Step Stamp Set in the current catalog.  It has 22 photopolymer stamps that work so well together.

When I Two Step Stamp I always start with the largest image in the lightest color and then stamp the smallest imagine on top in a little darker color.

If you only have one color ink pad it is no problem.  You would take the largest image ink it and then stamp off on a scrap piece of paper.  Then you will stamp on your car stock, this will give you a lighter shade.  Next take the image to stamp on top ink full strength on top of the larger lighter image.  Doesn't get easier then that.

I am so excited to report, that in the Holiday Catalog that will be released in September, there are so many Two Step Stamping Sets.

Check out this card done with the Tranquil Tulips

I love the soft look in this card using a monochromatic color scheme.  The next card is bold and uses two different colors of ink to create a stunning look.

The Tranquil Tulips is a Hostess Rewards Set meaning you must use Hostess Rewards to get this set.  It is only $10 with your Hostess Rewards so just by collecting $150 in orders, or purchase that much yourself you could have this great Two Step Stamping Set.

I shared this video a while ago using the same Tranquil Tulips Set.

You will want to check back tomorrow as I release My Million Dollar Stamp Set "Half Full" that will be in the Holiday Catalog along with a cool Stamping Technique.

Now it's time to head over to Sue Lehrer's Blog and see what she has created for us.

Double Gate Fold Card

This is the card that inspired today's Creative Fold Video.  It was done by Kim Baker from Hennepin, Il.  Check out how she created the adorable pigpen with the Classic Label Punch and the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack.

Well I needed a 60th birthday card, so I decided to create it in a video and use the Double Gate Fold like Kim did.  Well I started out with the 5 /12" x 11" piece of cards stock, but I started scoring at the 1 3/4" mark instead of the 1 1/4" like Kim did. So I got a gap in my opening, as you will see in the video, but I still made it work.  Here is the card I created.

It is very easy to create a "special" birthday card with the Large Number Framelits.  I used the Dazzling Details Glimmer Paper which just makes the numbers jump off the Basic Black Card Stock.

Make sure you watch the video to see where I went wrong with this card.

Correct Score lines should be along the 11" side of the 5 1/2" x 11"piece of card stock  You will score at 1 1/4", 3 1/2", 7 3/4" and 9 3/4".  You will mark up along the 5 1/2 sides 2 1/2" and cut at a diagonal to get the Double Gate Opening.

Sponged Brayer Background Video

In today's video you are going to learn how to sponge brayer this beautiful beach scene.  The Sponge Brayers are the best kept secret in the Stampin' Up! Catalog.   We use to have rubber brayers and I could never get a nice smooth background with them.   The sponge brayers are different and very inexpensive and easy to use.

My video today was inspired by a card I got in a card swap from a dear friend Kim Peck.  Kim's card has much softer colors then my card, showing how versatile these brayers can be.

Kim and I both used the same color Classic Ink Pads: Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Crushed Curry and Peekaboo Peach but we still got such different looks because of the amount of ink we put on our cards.

I used the High Tide Stamp Set, where Kim used the Colorful Seasons.  We both used the adorable chair from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits, which you can get with the Colorful Season as a Bundle.

By using the 1 1/4" Circle Punch and the Wink of Stella you get a beautiful shimmering sun.

Sizes of card Stock Used:

• 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Whisper White Card Stock
• 4" x 5 1/4" Bermuda Bay Card Stock

Christmas Club Class Share

We are getting geared up for 6 months of Christmas Cards in my Christmas Club Class.  If you missed the post, I hold these Club Classes in my home on a Tuesday and a Saturday each month in Jefferson.  I also take the class to Warren, Ohio on Wednesday night.  If you missed the post about those times you can check it out here.

 This is one of the cards we are doing this month.  I used the Santa' Sleigh Thinlits and the Santa Sleigh Stamp Set.  And then three little strips of the New Christmas Designer Series Paper Be Merry.  Doesn't get simpler then that.  Think that is the secret to doing lots of Christmas Cards is to keep it simple.

Hope you make plans to join in the near future at a Christmas Card Club Class, remember don't have to be a club member to attend.

This Little Piggy - Peek-a-Boo Video

Love today's Creative Fold Video using the "This Little Piggy" Stamp Set and the beautiful new Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Hard to see by the picture the Bright color foil design in this paper.

I have done peek-a-boo card videos in the past, but this one has a different size opening and I used the Designer Series Paper in the opening instead of a verse.

I used the Layering Circles and The Stitched Framelits for the layering on the belly band to keep the card closed.  I also used the Polka Dot Basics Embossing Folder which is a new folder.

Make sure you watch the video for some more details, but here are the dimensions of the card stock:

• 5 1/2" x 7 1/2" Crumb Cake Card Stock scored at 1" on one of the 7 1/2" ends and 2 1/4" on the other end
• 2" x 5 1/2" Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper
• 2- 1/2" x 5 1/2" Berry Burst Card Stock
• 1/2" x 9 1/2" Berry Burst Card Stock

 

Reminder Registration is open for my August Stamp Retreat to Everyone.  Check Out More Details Here.

 

Daisy Delight With New In Colors

Look at all the fun New In Colors in this card using the Daisy Delight Bundle.  All five of the New In Colors Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist, Powder Pink and Tranquil Tide were used on this card.

The card was submitted for my TEAM challenge by the very talented June Creagh from River Vale, New Jersey.  Love how she used all the New In Colors.  

Did you know the best way to purchase the In Colors Ink Pads is all together as you will get a discount by doing so.  And of course you need the card stock to match.  So you might as well get the assortment of Card Stock Pack, because you will get 4 each of the 5 colors.

June also used the New Clear Faceted Gems.  I am finding that I enjoy them more then the Rhinestone for my cards lately.

Don't forget with a $30 Qualifying Online Order using Hostess Code AN6M2Z69 you will receive my Exclusive PDF Tutorial for the Daisy Delight Bundle.
