Welcome to our April Blog Waddle! We call ourselves ducklings, so we waddle instead of hop!! We are featuring projects created from the retiring 2022-2024 In Colors.

I began with an Orchid Oasis base, scored at 4-1/4″ and 2-1/2″. The DSP is cut at 1-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ and 2-1/4″ x 5-1/4″. I added a layer of Basic White 5-11/4″ x 4″ inside. I used the Perennial Lavender DSP (#162593) and the Two Tone Flora stamp set and dies (#159181). The leaves from Painted Lavender (#162594) were stamped in Shaded Spruce and stamped off, too. I stamped Happy Birthday from Pansy Patch in Orchid Oasis on a piece of Basic White. I completed my quick card with a piece of White Baker’s Twine (#155475).

Welcome to our March Blog Waddle! We call ourselves ducklings, so we waddle instead of hop!! We are featuring projects created from the January-April Mini-Catalog. It isn’t very “mini” as there are lots of goodies in there! Here is a close up of the details of my card.

I began with a Bubble Bath base and a layer of about 5 x 3-3/4. Behind the top layer is a very narrow layer of Berry Burst. I used the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder (#162935) on the smaller layer of Bubble Bath. Isn’t that a stunning embossing folder? Using scraps of Basic White and Berry Burst I die cute them with the 2 smallest dies in the Thoughtful Expressions Dies (#162821). I stamped Thank You from Something Fancy (#160416) in Berry Burst on the Basic White piece. I completed my quick card with a piece of pink ribbon from the 3/8″ (1 cm) Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack (#161635). Here is my completed card!

Welcome to our January 2024 Blog Waddle! Wow, the new year already and it is the BEST time of the year with Stampin’ Up!! We are featuring projects created from the Sale-A-Bration flyer! I decided to let the Softly Stippled DSP (#162975) do most of the work for this card! This fabulous DSP is free with a $50 product purchase. I also used the Softly Sophisticated Bundle (#162947) and it is free with a $100 purchase. Here is a closeup of my card!

My card base is Calypso Coral with a layer of Pebbled Path. Next I used 3 pieces of the Softly Stippled DSP for the top panel, bottom panel and the strip covering where they meet. I ran the 2 panels through the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder, part of the SAB Bundle for a little extra texture. I stamped the sentiment from the Softly Sophisticated stop set in Calypso Coral and the edge of the flowers in Pebbled Path then punched it out with Heartfelt Hexagon Punch (#162888). I added some Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots (#159082) and a double bow from Linen Thread (#104199).

Today is the day!! Which is your favorite in the Mini-Catalog?

Welcome to our December Blog Waddle! We are featuring projects created from some of the products on the Last Chance Sale list. I love the Joy of Noel Bundle (#161967)! You can still buy it at the bundled savings while supplies last. Here is a close up of the details of my card.

I began with a Very Vanilla base and die cut the letters in Gold Foil (#132622) using the Joy of Noel Dies (#161965). Using a scrap of Very Vanilla, I stamped the cluster image from the Joy of Noel stamp set (#161959) in Shaded Spruce. I love how that image does the arranging for you!

Next, I colored the image with Stampin’ Blends in light and dark Shaded Spruce, light and dark Old Olive, and Real Red. Using Shaded Spruce I cut the pine boughs. Then I colored 3 Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels (#158987) with a dark Real Red Blend.

A bow from the Real Red and Garden Green 3/8″ Ribbon Combo Pack completes my card!

Welcome to our November Blog Waddle! We are featuring our wonderfully, always coordinated Designer Series Paper, also known as DSP!!

I picked the Oh Holy Night 12″ x 12″ DSP (#161986). This gorgeous Designer Series Paper pairs so beautifully with Night Divine Bundle (#161997) and the Stars at Night Bundle (#162007) to create a wide variety of Christmas cards. Here is a preview of my card.

My card base is Very Vanilla with a layer of the DSP cut from the bottom of the piece. The stable and camel were cut from Pecan Pie, the Holy family in Basic Black, and the animals from Basic Gray using the Night Divine Dies (#161996). The star was die cut using the Stars at Night Hybrid Embossing Folder (162006).

The front is so beautiful, I put the sentiment in side using .

Welcome to our October Blog Waddle! We are featuring Designer Series Paper a.k.a. DSP, to create our cards!! I decided on the Countryside Inn 12″ x 12″ DSP (#161467). Do you pick the DSP for your card and let it decide the type of card you make or do you find the DSP to fit the card you want to make? Here are all of the patterns in the Countryside Inn DSP.

I picked the DSP first for my card. I wanted to use several patterns. I used 6 different patterned papers!

My card base is Night of Navy with a layer of the returning color, Misty Moonlight. Then I cut 4 of the patterns at 2-1/2″ x 1-1/4″ being careful of the direction of the pattern and 2 patterns at 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″. The Basic White piece is also 2-1/2″ x 1-1/4″.

The flowers and leaves were die cut with the Around the Bend Dies (#160649). The sentiment from Circle Sayings (#161348) was stamped in Boho Blue. I added a bow of Night of Navy 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (#160581) to complete my card.

Welcome to our September Blog Waddle! We are featuring new Stampin’ products from the Sept-Dec Mini-catalog on our cards!!

I picked the Rustic Crate bundle(#162268) for my card. The bundle includes the Rustic Crate stamp set (#162265) and the Rustic Crate Dies (#162267). I am especially fascinated with the crate!

The card base is Crushed Curry with a layer of Inked Botanicals 6″ X 6″ DSP (#161157). I added a piece of Basic Black for interest. The crate is die cut from Pecan Pie and Basic Black. (Hint: the larger of the crate pieces folds forward.) The fall arrangement was colored wit Stampin’ Blends and Stampin Write Markers: Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Wild Wheat, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler and Pecan Pie. The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black and I fussy cut the ends. A bow of Black & White Gingham ribbon (#156485) completes my card.

Welcome to our August Blog Waddle! We are featuring color combinations to create our cards!! I looked around for a color combination created by someone else, but did not find one I wanted to use. I do use this site: http://colorlab.mycreateink.com when I am looking for a combination. I knew I wanted bright colors, but I didn’t find anything I liked, so I created my own. I put Garden Green, Daffodil Yellow, Poppy Parade, and Gorgeous Grape together. How do you pick colors for your card?

My card base is Thick Basic White using the lattice front card design. I thought the Dainty Delight Dies (#160674) would be perfect in front of my “fence”. Using scraps of all the colors in my color combination, I die cut the pieces. Don’t you love the texture and depth of these flowers!? A Happy Birthday sign was created from a scrap of Basic White and Poppy Parade ink using the Pansy Patch stamp set (#154999) for the sentiment, punched out with the Double Oval punch (#154242) and hung on the fence with a piece of Sweet Sorbet twine from the 2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine Pack (#159195) I added a piece of Daffodil Delight inside to accentuate the fence.
