Buffalo Check & Happy Birthday Gorgeous

Hello Friends,

Happy Thursday!   Though I opted to make a Birthday Card rather than a Holiday Card, today's card features the new Buffalo Check stamp from the Holiday  Catalog.  I paired it with the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set and my beloved Stitched Labels Dies.

It was a rather simple card to make.  Everything is stamped directly on the card face with the exception of the sentiment which was stamped on my Stitched Label.  Hint:  Since the Buffalo Check is such a big stamp, it's easy to miss a spot when stamping, so I elected to use my Stamparatus, stamp positioning tool for stamping.  That way, if I miss a spot, it's easy to fix by simply stamping a second time.

My color combination are from this week's Splitcoast Stampers Color Challenge.  They are Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Soft Sea Foam and Balmy Blue.

I'm happy to report that this year's Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog stretches well beyond the holidays as you can see by today's Birthday Card.  In Case you missed it, you can also see the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set paired with the Sweetly Stitched Dies from page 25 of the Holiday Catalog Here.

Today's simple card was inspired by this week's Freshly Made Sketches Card Sketch.

Jar of Love Lights Up

Hello Friends,

It's true that as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I we be ordering the latest and the greatest crafting supplies from the upcoming Holiday Catalog in August (Demonstrator Preorder), so that I can share projects with you before its launch in September.  But for this week, I've been pulling out some oldies but goodies from my Stamping Stash.  Today's card was made with the Jar of Love stamp set and  the Everyday Jars Dies.  I have to admit, every time I use this stamp set, I love the results.  

We're in the throws of summer here, so that makes me think of fireflies lighting up the evening sky.  I colored them with my Pineapple Punch Stampin' Blends.  Then, I stuffed my mason jar to overflowing with flowers stamped in Poppy Parade, Blueberry Bushel, Gorgeous Grape.  Hint:  For the Poppy Parade flowers, I stamped off or used 1/2 stretch Poppy Parade ink for the bottom layer.  I used the same stamping technique for the Pool Party water in my jar.

For added texture I embossed my card base with the Basket Weave Dynamic Impressions Embossing Folder.  I stamped my sentiment 3 times on 3 different card stock colors, then cut out the words that I wanted in each color.  Hint:  Just about everything is popped up with Mini Stampin' Dimensions.  The mini dimensions are a great size for all the tiny elements.

By the Way, just so there is no miss understanding.  I did a Craft Room Organization Tour a few weeks ago and my Craft Room was pristine condition.  But that doesn't mean that my desk to look like this when I am creating.  But the nice thing is that when I'm done creating, everything has a place and can be quickly put away.
