Stampin Stray Ducklings March Blog Waddle!

Welcome to our monthly Blog Waddle! This month our projects celebrate Spring, St. Patrick’s Day, windy March, anything that feels like Spring! You may have arrived here from Lori Helvick’s blog.  Following me is Kim Baker’s blog.

I picked the Flowering Rain Boots photopolymer stamp set (#157689) and the Rain Boots Dies (#157690) as I love to garden and I can’t wait to get into the flower beds. You can save 10% when purchasing the Flowering Rain Boots Bundle (#157691). I started with a Basic White Thick card stock with a Basic Gray layer. Another Basic White layer holds the card elements. The sentiment is from the Art Gallery photopolymer stamp set (#158201).

The boots were stamped in Smokey Slate, the tulips in Blushing Bride, the flower pot, seed packet and daisies in Calypso Coral. The background trellis pattern is included in the Rain Boots Dies.

Monday Mystery Stamping – 3/7

Here are the cards we made Monday night during our Mystery Stamping Zoom. There are SO many wonderful possibilities with this card! The key to this card is the slider! Here is my sample card.

If you would like to join us, please contact me and provide an email address. I will send out the Mystery Stamping Clues ahead of time with the Zoom invitation. We meet at 7:30 Central Time for about 40 minutes.

Here are the 2 pieces key to this card. If you use a dark card stock base, cut 2 pieces of white or vanilla 4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″. The slider piece has 3 cut lines, making a frame. The piece inside that frame is scored in 3 places, shown by dashed lines. If the picture below is not clear, please contact me and I will help you!

Waves of the Ocean Collection Available NOW

Each of the world’s wide and open oceans is brimming with beauty and wonder. Marvelous marine animals, miles of submerged mountain ranges, and unique underwater plants lie thousands of feet below Earth’s dry surface, encouraging exploration and awaiting discovery. I am at the ocean right now and it is the most relaxing place for me!

Discover the depths of the ocean—and your artistic abilities—with the Waves of the Ocean Collection! This coastal collection includes an inspiring set of stamps and detailed dies, both early-release products from the upcoming 2022–2023 Annual Catalog. Plus, a pack of paper made from images of hand-poured paint, blue-hued foil sheets for a sea of shine, and radiant rhinestones for a splash of sparkle—each an exclusive product you can ONLY purchase during the promotion period! Orders may be placed beginning today!

  • Each of the sentiments in the Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set can be stamped onto either the outside or inside of a card. Mix and match the sentiments to pair them together, or use them independently of one another!
  • Create an eye-catching card background with the Blue Foils 12″ x 12″ Specialty Paper, or cut with the Waves Dies for an intricate and inspiring accent.
  • The wave-shaped dies from the detailed Waves Dies coordinate with the wave-shaped stamp from the Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set. Wash away a one-dimensional image and add dimension as deep as the ocean! You can also use the Waves Dies to cut clouds, birds, and sentiment labels.
  • The Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels come in six colors, both the light and dark versions of the following Stampin’ Up! shades: Coastal Cabana, Night of Navy, and Pacific Point.
  • While there is no direct coordination between the Waves of the Ocean 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and Waves Dies, you can combine the wave-shaped dies and any of the paper’s blue-hued patterns for an ocean wave with a realistic look!
