The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Poinsettia Tea Cup Card

Hello everyone and happy Friday!  Today, I have a card to share with you using the NEW Stamp Simply Clear Stamp - Coffee or Tea? SS-023.  You might have seen a sneak peek of this card on the Stamp Simply Blog when Sharon announced the new releases.

Here is the card I designed.  This card could be used for Christmas or just as a thinking of you card through the winter months.  The stamp set is filled with several sentiments and verses.  The die set is a really fun one because it allows you to be able to build you cup.  There are two different sizes of the cups with matching handles, two little steam swirls, the words coffee and tea, and a tiny tag.  Some of the sentiments in the stamp set fit perfectly with the tiny tag.

To create the cup I die cut the cup two times.  Once using Wild Rose Studios - Birds & Berries and for the second one I used Gold Mirror Cardstock.  I also die cut the handle with the gold mirror cardstock.

I have a beautiful tea cup collection that was my Great Grandma's.  Several of the cups are edged in gold and I wanted to create the same look for my cup.  I cut the top and bottom of the gold die cut piece and then offset them and adhered them to the back of the pattern paper.

Here is a look at the cup once it was assembled.  I just love the gold accents and it reminds me of my Great Grandma's tea cup collection.

I die cut three of the little steam swirls from Vellum.  I adhered two to the back of the cup and then added the third swirl at the top.  I used glossy accents to adhere the steam swirls.  Since almost all adhesives show through vellum I added some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen on top of the swirls and then added White Pearls to each of them to help cover up where the adhesive was showing.

Here is a close up of the cup.  I also added some of the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen to the flowers on the pattern paper.  I added more white pearls along the top of the cup.  I die cut one of the tiny tags using white cardstock and then stamped the sentiment using Tuxedo Black Ink.  I used a piece of May Arts Gold Metallic String to attach the tag to the handle on the cup.

The card is a white A2 top folding card base.  I used a couple more pieces of the pattern paper from the same collection to layer in the background.  Then I used Foam Tape to attach the cup to the front of the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed the card share.  If you would like to see more card inspiration I encourage you to check out the Stamp Simply Blog.  All of the supplies to create the card are listed and linked below and can be found at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and Happy Holidays!

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Peace On Earth Christmas Card

Hello and Happy Black Friday!  I hope you all had a very Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving!  We had a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving with family and friends.  All of the food was so yummy!  Are you taking advantage of the Black Friday sales and braving the crowds?  My husband went out into the crowds and our oldest son and his girlfriend are hitting the sales at Mall of America--bright and early--5 am!  Not me, I stayed home lol.  Online shopping works for me--laptop, credit card, coffee and I'm good to go lol.  :)  Today, I have a Christmas card to share with you using some of the beautiful Wild Rose Studio pattern papers, embossing folder, and some inks.  Have you ever used a embossing folder with pattern paper?

Here is a look at the card I created.  The pattern paper is from the Wild Rose Studio - Birds & Berries collection.  The papers have so many pretty patterns and images.

I trimmed the paper down to fit the card front.  Then, I used the Darice Embossing Folder Pine Branches in Corner to emboss the pattern paper.  The paper and embossing folder are a perfect match!

I wanted to add some color to the embossed areas so it would really pop.  I picked out some of the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink to match the paper.  I used the mini ink blending tools to apply the ink.  I used Lucky Clover, Peeled Paint, Vintage Photo, and Salty Ocean.  I love how the inks match so perfectly and the embossed areas totally change the look of the paper.

The sentiment is from the Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Merry Christmas SS-011 set.  I used VersaMark Ink to stamp onto black cardstock and then I heat embossed with Ranger Super Fine White Embossing Powder.  I added some foam tape on the backside of the sentiment.  I also went over the embossed areas and all of the images with the Zig Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen for some shimmer.  I also squeezed out a little of the Wink of Stella and added some water to it and then tapped the brush over the paper adding more shimmer over the entire card from.  You click on the image to enlarge it and see more shimmer.  

Here is a close up of the little bird and the embossed area.

To finish off the card I added a few drops of Ranger Glossy Accents and sprinkled on some Stampendous Crystal Glitter Multi Ultra Fine.  The card base is a white A2 top folding card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you enjoyed the card and tutorial.  If you would like to see more card inspiration I encourage you to visit the Stamp Simply Blog.  All of the supplies to create the card are listed and linked below and can be found at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

If you braved the crowds for Black Friday I hope you found some amazing deals!

Happy Holiday!

The Stamp Simply Store - Harvest Meadow Thanksgiving Card

Hello everyone!  Today, I have a CAS (Clean And Simple) Fall card to share with you using one of the Stamp Simply Clear Stamp sets and the beautiful papers from the Wild Rose Studio - Harvest Meadow collection.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stamp Simply Clear Stamp - Give Thanks SS-009 stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on to a small piece of paper from the collection.  Then I layered it with another piece of the paper in a reddish orange color.  I used that same paper for a layered mat on the card.  For the card front I used a beautiful pattern paper with some wildflowers.  I added some Foam Tape behind the sentiment for some dimension.

Next, I added some May Arts 3/8" Solid Two Tone Copper ribbon with a bow down the left side of the card.  To finish off the card I added some Petaloo Botanica Collection - Red Minis and Peach Minis.

The card base is an ivory A2 top folding card.  This is another paper collection that would be great to make multiple CAS cards.  If you like the card design but would rather not have the bulk from the bow and flowers for mailing you could just have a strip of the ribbon on the side and maybe add some enamel dots or sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  If you would like to see more card inspiration from the design team I encourage you to check out the Stamp Simply Blog.  All of the supplies used to create the card are listed and linked below and can be found at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

Happy Crafting!

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Watercolor Coneflower Card

Hello everyone and happy Friday!  Did you follow along last week with the New Releases from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store?  The release included two beautiful stamp sets for Fall and  coordinating die set.  In addition to those there are New Die Releases that coordinate with all of the stamp releases that have images to color.

For my card I used the Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Thank You for Caring Coneflower SS-019.  I stamped the flower image on to Ranger - Watercolor paper using VersaMark Ink.  Then, I sprinkled on Ranger Super Fine White Embossing Powder and used a heat tool to melt and heat set the powder.  

All of the watercolor was done using the Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  For the center of the flower I used Fossilized Amber and for the petals  Hickory Smoke.  Whenever you want to have white flowers you will need to do the shading in gray colors.  I know it might sound strange but the gray actually makes the flower appear white and really makes it pop.  For the stem and leaves I used Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, and Peeled Paint.  The background was done using Faded Jeans and Stormy Sky.  Then I used the heat tool to speed up the drying time on the paper.  To finish the background I used Black Soot and added paint splatters.  Then I dried the paper one more time and added water droplets.  I trimmed the watercolor paper down and added a black mat.  I used Foam Tape behind the watercolor piece to add some dimension.  The background paper is from the Wild Rose Studio - Dancing Daisies.  I added May Arts 5/8" Solid Plaid Olive Ribbon and My Mind's Eye Record It Charmed Enamel Dots.  

To finish off the card I added the card front to a black A2 top folding card.  This is a really quick and easy watercolor card with no special techniques so it would be a great card to make multiples of.

I hope you enjoyed today's card share.  If you missed seeing the New Release last week I encourage you to visit the Stamp Simply Blog for lots of inspiration.  If you are looking for any paper crafting goodies be sure to check out The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  

Hugs & Smiles,

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Easter Blessings Card

Hello everyone and happy Friday!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  For my card I am using some of the beautiful pattern papers from Wild Rose Studio.

I used the Harvest Meadow paper collection for my card.  Even though the paper pad is a harvest one and has wonderful papers with fall colors it also has several papers that will work for spring and summer.  The floral prints are so pretty with coral, pink, white and a touch of yellow and lavender.  I layered two of the pattern papers and then I added the 1.5" Delicate Vintage Lace by May Arts and Melon Seam Binding with a bow.

The sentiment is from the Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Easter SS-Sent006 stamp set.  I used the velvet ink from the  Altenew - 4 Ink Cubes Red Sunset to stamp the sentiment.  Then I used Spellbinders Labels Forty-two Decorative Accents to die cut the label shape.  I left the paper in the die template and inked the outside edges of the paper with crimson ink from the Altenew - 4 Ink Cubes Red Sunset.  I added some foam squares to the back of the label for some added dimension.  Then I added a few enamel dots and some Petaloo Botanica Collection Coral Minis.

Here is a close up of the lace and the bow.

To finish the card I added all of the layers to a white A2 top folding card base.  I know a lot of people store crafting products by the colors and by the seasons.  But this is one of those paper pads that I would keep out and use year round.

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - CAS Birthday Wishes Card

Hello everyone!  Today is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and I have a CAS (Clean And Simple) birthday card to share with you.

Check out this gorgeous pattern paper!  It is so pretty and reminds me of watercolor.  The paper is from the Harvest Meadow Paper Pack from Wild Rose Studio.  But don't let the name fool you.  This paper pack is filled with beautiful prints that could be used all year round.  I layered a couple pieces of paper from the pack and used Therm-O-Web Foam Squares in between the layers for some dimension.  Then, I added the layers to an A2 top folding white card base.

Here is another close up of those beautiful flowers.

The sentiment is from the SS-Sent003 Birthday Blessing stamp set from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.  I stamped the sentiment on to white cardstock using Tuxedo black ink.  Then I used the  Spellbinders Labels Twenty-Five to die cut the label shape.  I used a few more foam square and added the label to the card front.

To finish off the card I added a few Petaloo Botanica Collection Coral Minis Flowers and Melissa Frances White Pearls.

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Birds & Berries Peace Christmas Card

Hello everyone and happy Friday!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  I have a CAS (Clean And Simple) Christmas card to share with you.  I know Christmas is just a couple days away but if you are needing any all occasion winter cards this one is perfect.  Quick, easy, and can be used for all occasions and done with so many kinds of pattern papers.

For my card I used some of the beautiful papers from the Wild Rose Studio - Birds & Berries collection.

I love this paper and the floral pattern is so pretty.  But when I laid the peace die cut on top of the paper it just kind of got lost due to the busy pattern.  So I used a cotton ball to dab some white pigment ink into the center of the paper.  Doing this toned the pattern down and gives the paper a softer look.  Now the die cut won't get lost in the image anymore.  Pigment ink is a little stickier that dye based ink so you might want to use a heat tool to dry the ink.

Here is a close up of the sentiment and die cut.  Unfortunately when I designed the card I didn't realize the Peace die was sold out in the store and has been retired.  However, Sharon has a wonderful selection of dies that could be used in place of this die.  You could also use this same technique of adding the white pigment ink to any off your pattern papers and create cards for all occasions.  To create the die cut I used Bazzill Silver Mirror Paper.  I die cut the word peace a second time with some of the other paper from the collection.  Then I added some Tim Holtz Fired Brick Distress Ink along the bottom of the word to create and ombre look.  Next, I added one of the flowers from the Prima Flowers - Miss Godivas Caramel collection.  I also added some Marion Smith - Pearl White Stamens and Melissa Frances White Pearls.

I added another piece of pattern paper for a layer behind the floral print.  Then I added the card front to an A2 top folding white card base.

I hope you enjoyed today's card share.  Please be sure to check out The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store for lots of paper crafting goodies.  Also check out the Stamp Simply Blog for more inspiration from the design team.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!!

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Birds and Berries Christmas Card and Treat Box

Hello everyone!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  I have a couple of Christmas projects to share with you using the beautiful Christmas papers from Wild Rose Studios.

Look at these beautiful pattern papers!  I love them--the colors are so soft and pretty.  I used a couple different sheets from Wild Rose Studios - Birds & Berries Paper Pack to create the card and treat box.

To create the box I used some berry red cardstock and the Spellbinders Designer Series - S5-273 Box of Treats.  This is one of the new die set designed by Marisa Job.  The die cut shape for the box already has all of the score lines so I folded all of the areas that were scored. I added Scor-Tape to the two small inside flaps and then on the two larger outside flaps on one end as shown in the picture.  I also used the larger rectangle die and the small square die to cut panels for all of the sides on the box.  I added the pattern paper first and then I assembled the box.

Here is a picture of the inside of the treat box.  

This is a look at the front of the box.  I added some May Arts 1.5" Sheer w/Glitter Dots - Gold/Gold and May Arts 1.25" Mint Green Silk Ribbon and tied a simple knot.  Then I added a Prima Flowers - Interlude White to the center.

I added some sparkle to the image with a Zig Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen.

Here is a side view of the treat box.

The card came together very quickly.  I used VersaMark Ink to stamp the sentiment from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - Christmas Blessings SS-012.  Then I added Ranger - Super Fine Detail Gold Embossing Powder and used my heat tool to melt and heat set the embossing powder.  This pattern paper is not a heavy weight paper so for heat embossing I made sure my heat tool is good and hot before I bring it to the paper.  Doing this will help to keep the paper from warping too much.

I traced over all of the images on the pattern paper with the Zig Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen to add some sparkle.  I also added some sparkle to the flower and leaves.

To finish off the card I added the pattern paper to a berry red A2 top folding card base.  Then I added May Arts 1.5" Sheer w/Glitter Dots - Gold/Gold and May Arts 1.25" Mint Green Silk Ribbon and tied a simple knot.  I added a rose and some leaves from the Prima Flowers - Interlude White.

I hope you enjoy today's projects!  Please be sure to visit The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store for all of your paper crafting needs.  Also hop on over to the Stamp Simply Blog for more inspiration from the design team.

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Merry & Bright CAS Christmas Card

Hello blogging friends!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  I have another CAS (Clean And Simple) Christmas card to share with you.  Over on the Stamp Simply Blog we are celebrating the 12 Days of Christmas with CAS cards.  If you are looking for inspiration to create some CAS cards then be sure to hop on over to the Stamp Simply Blog and check it out!  There are so many beautiful cards from the design team.

For my card I used some of the Wild Rose Studio - Painted Poinsettia paper.  This paper is so pretty and has some beautiful images on it.  I love this image of the little bird with the holly, berries and flowers.  Originally this card was going to be an A2 size.  But it was my first time working with the Elizabeth Craft Designs 953 Tags & More 3 - Leaves die (which by the way I love!) and the tag was a little larger than I thought it would be.  I had already cut the pattern paper to fit and A2 size card.  So this is what I did to resolve this and have a 5.5 x 5.5 card--I cut a 5.25 x 5.25 piece of white cardstock so I would have a base to add the papers to.  Then I cut another small strip of the pattern paper and added a strip of the Bazzill - Gold Mirror Cardstock along the side to fill in the space and then I had card front to fit the 5.5 x 5.5 card base.

The Elizabeth Craft Designs 953 Tags & More 3 - Leaves die is a pretty neat die set and allows you to be able to customize your tag.  You can make the tag different sizes and embellish it in different ways using all of the different die included in the set.  To create my tag I used the leaf die for the top part of the tag.  I saved the leaf drop out pieces to use as well.  Then I die cut some small flowers.  I added a little Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Mowed Lawn to the center of the flowers to try and make them look like the flowers in the pattern paper.  I also added a Melissa Frances White Pearls to the center of each flower.  I used JustRite Papercraft CR-02176 Christmas Handwriten Sentiments along with  Memento - Rich Cocoa to stamp the sentiment and add the little berry sprigs.  I used just a little Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Mowed Lawn to add a little color and then a Copic Marker - R85 Rose Red for the berries.

To finish off the tag I added May Arts Rose Silk Ribbon with a bow and then I also used some Therm-O-Web 3D Squares on the tag for some dimension.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
