Simply Stated Stampin' Up! Country Home

Happy Thursday! I'm so glad you could join me this morning because I want to show off a great card for you using the brand new Country Home stamp set from Stampin' Up! I just love this set and today, I wanted to focus on the simple beauty of this set that required the minimum of materials to create. Seriously, I used Crumb Cake cardstock, a scrap piece of Whisper White, 1 ink pad (Memento Tuxedo Black) and half of Pearlized Doily. Oh yeah, and the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

Sometimes, less can be more. This simple card has an elegance about it and I love the way it turned out. The Crumb Cake card base is cut 85" x 5.5" and scored and folded at 4.25". The layered piece of Crumb Cake is cut 5.25" x 4" and went through the Big Shot using the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I wrapped the 3/16" Braided Linen Trim around twice and tied into a knot and frayed the ends slightly. I then adhered this entire panel to the card base using Stampin' Dimensionals. I then stamped the image and sentiment onto a scrap piece of Whisper White measuring 3" x 3" using the Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added half of a Pearlized Doily to the bottom and adhered that to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Again, very minimal supplies and I have a beautiful card and I will be featuring this card in my card classes this month.

Happy Stamping,

A Fun Easy Card with the Orange Blossom Stamp Set

Hello there stampers and Happy Sunday! We've been having some bizarre weather here in CNY lately and today was no exception. Snow and wind have been the order of the day, so needless to say, I used that as my excuse for hanging out in my craft room today and one of my fun creations comes from the 2017-2018 Annual Catalog. This time of year we have a tendency to  forget about all of the awesomeness in our Annual Catalog because we're so focused on the Occasions catalog and getting ready for the new annual catalog to come out. So, today, I wanted to give our current catalog some love.
I pulled out the awesome Orange Blossom stamp set and some of our soon to be retiring, amazing 2016-2018 In-colors!
To create the background, I randomly stamped the flower blossom in Peekaboo peach, making sure my pattern was random; and the secret to a good random pattern is to make sure some of the images literally fall off the page as you are stamping them. I then added some random leaves using Emerald Envy ink followed by some random Flirty Flamingo "berry clusters" onto a piece of Whisper White cut 2 1/8" x 5 1/2". I layered this piece onto a piece of Peekaboo Peach cardstock cut 2 3/8" x 5 1/2" and adhered this panel to a standard card base of Flirty Flamingo.
I stamped the "Hey Friend" sentiment from the stamp set in Emerald Envy ink onto a scrap piece of Whisper White and punched it out using the Pretty Label punch and popped it up on some Stampin' Dimensionals and adhered it to the card. I made a bow out of 2 strands of the Flirty Flamingo Bakers Twine and adhered this just above the sentiment using a mini Glue Dot.

Again, this card is quick and easy and I truly hope you enjoyed it. If you enjoy quick and easy card tutorials such as this, please join my newsletter by clicking here.

A Quick and Easy Card with Eastern Medallion Thinlits

Hey there and hello from rainy CNY! Well, they say it's gonna clear..here's hoping. Anyway, today I want to share with you a really quick and easy card I made using the absolutely AWESOME Eastern Medallion Thinlits. I say these are awesome because the possibilities with these are absolutely endless. I mean it....just playing around with them when I first received them, I came up with 45 + different combinations using them! For real!
Anyway, here is today's card:
I started with a standard cardbase of 8.5" x 5.5" folded in half and I added a layer of the Tranquil Tide cardstock cut 4" x 5.25" followed by a layer of the Fresh Florals DSP measuring 1.5" x 5.25" and 2 strips of Lemon Lime Twist measuring 0.5" x 4" each. I then cut a circle from a scrap piece of Tranquil Tide using the largest circle from the Layering Circles Framelits collection and for the medallion, I cut a scrap piece of Lemon Lime Twist using the large medallion, a medium "middle" die and a small "center" die and added the largest circle from the Layering Circles Framelits to fully cut it out; I layered the two pieces together with liquid glue and added it to the center of the card using Fast Fuse. The banner piece is also a .5" x 2" piece of Lemon Lime Twist and I just bannered the one end with my paper snips and adhered it down with Fast Fuse.
For the flower shaped medallion, I cut out a piece of Tranquil Tide using the flower shaped Thinlit and Framelit from the Eastern Medallion collection, popped it up on a Dimensional and added a clear Faceted Gem to the center.
Again, this card was quick and easy and with no actual stamping involved, a pretty "clean" card to make (no inky fingers lol).
I really hope this card inspires you to pull out your Big Shot and grab your Eastern Medallion Thinlits and see what great combinations you can make along with your brand new In-colors.
Until next time,
Happy Stamping,
Katrina
