Stamping Stray Ducklings May Blog Waddle – new catalog!

1 Comment

Welcome to our May Blog Waddle! We call ourselves ducklings, so we waddle from blog to blog instead of hop!! We are featuring projects created from the brand new 2024-2025 Stampin’ Up! catalog. Here is a peek at my card.

I began with a Basic Black base and a layer of Basic White 4″ x 5-1/4″. I stamped the large spray of flowers from the Layers of Beauty (#163514) photopolymer stamp set. The flowers and leaves were colored with Stampin’ Blends. I added the sentiment from the Layers of Beauty and I completed my quick card with a piece of Blooming Pearls (#162238).

So happy you are checking out our April Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world! Each demonstrator has created projects using items retiring the end of this month! Below my card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers. Here’s a little preview of my card:

My card features the retiring Two Tone Flora Dies (#159181) along with the retired Two Tone Flora stamp set. The card base is Smokey Slate with a layer of Basic White die cut with the large background die. The flowers and leaves were stamped in Soft Seafood, Bubble Bath, Melon Mambo, Pool Party and Coastal Cabana with a bow of Silver & White 1/2″ Sheer Ribbon (#162149) accenting the sentiment. Happy Birthday from the retired Pansy Patch was stamped in Smokey Slate on Basic White and backed in Smokey Slate using the retiring Double Oval Punch (#154242).

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).

Paper Crafting Blog Hop – Thinking of you/Sympathy Cards!

5 Comments

So happy you are checking out our March Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world! Each demonstrator has created projects with a thinking of you or sympathy theme! Below my card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers. Here’s a little preview of my card:

My card features the Painted Lavender stamp set (#162594)! The Painted Lavender stamp set also comes in a Bundle (#162597). The card base is Gorgeous Grape with two pieces of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (#162593) layered on it. The bunch of lavender is stamped in Gorgeous Grape and Shaded Spruce on a piece of Basic White. The butterflies are stamped in Highland Heather and a bow from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack (#155475) completes this part which is layered on a piece of Gorgeous Grape. Then I used the Double Oval Punch (#154242) to create the sentiment and layer pieces. The words are from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763).

Thanks for stopping by this month. Go to –> Terri Stewart’s blog to see what beautiful card she has created.
