Loving the new Beautiful You Stamp Set !!!

Hi Beauty~

 

I am absolutely in love with the new Beautiful You stamp set in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog.  Here is the most recent card I made with it.

 

Isn't she absolutely beautiful?  Yep, I think so too, especially against the Serenity Scenes Designer Series Paper.  Rather than making up all kinds of words to explain how I made it, I just recorded a video for you (in true Jean fashion):

Color your staples

Hi Beauties~

I have been home with a cold today, so of course that gives me a little bit of stamping time ;)

I wanted to show you how easy it is to color your Stampin' Up! Staples in colors to coordinate with your cards using Stampin' Up! Blendabilities. I think the pinked up staples are so cute I just have to share.





You can make any color you want, here are some samples for you. Aren't they too cute?

Good Crafternoon - You've been framed!

Hi Beauties~

I love my crafternoons!  It is when I get a little time alone to do my crafts (usually on a weekend).  Today, I want to show you how I turned the Hardwood stamp into a frame rather than just a mere background.  I stamped crumbcake card stock with baked brown sugar ink, then using my Stampin' Trimmer, I cut out the inside of the card stock to the size I wanted.  Then I spritz it with water and crumpled it to get a more weathered wood look.  This made a perfect frame for my flower.  Using Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities to color in my stamped images, I believe these inks make the images come to life.  I just love the new blendabilites and can't wait to see more and more colors come out in the future.  I used the standard A2 card size and trimmed the opposite corners with a my corner rounder punch.  These are just a few of the items that I used to create the Sympathy Card pictured below.

 Remember, just because it is a background stamp, doesn't mean it has to be used only as a background.  Get those creativity juices flowing and have a wonderful CRAFTERNOON !!!

In my Opinion:  Although the clear stamps are less expensive, I prefer the wood stamps for large backgrounds.  It makes it much easier and less messy.  Plus it's always ready with very little prep time.

Stamping in New York.... Back in Arizona with more stamping to come !!!

Hi Beauties~

I am back from New York for a few weeks and am already loving being home in Arizona!  I don't even mind the heat!  I am back to ALL my stamp sets and most importantly, my Big Shot!!!

I can't wait to get back into making more videos for you all.  I did make some cards for our hotel guests quite often and they really enjoyed them.  Here are some of the cards I made while in NY.  Hope you enjoy them.

 This is a card that I made for my Dad's Birthday.  I used the What's you type for the background.

 This one I gave to my my grandson Trent for his first birthday, using Gorgeous Grunge and What's your type.  This card is similar to my Dad's birthday card.  That is because I made them on the same day because they both have the same birthday.

 This card was a fun one.  I sed the fleshtome blendabilities for the doggie.  I made this one for my brother.  He started his own salsa company called Mags & Tilly Salsa.  He couldn't go wrong because it taste just like my Grandma Esther's salsa.  I am so proud of him and can't wait to see where this venture takes him.

This card was just one of those happy accidents.  I was very pleased with the outcome and everyone who sees it, has told me how pretty it is.  I will show you in a later video how I did it.  So keep your eyes out for it.  I originally made it for my Mom, since I was really missing her.  My parents live in California, so we were 3000 miles from each other.  Well instead of sending this card, I decided to keep the card and drive cross country to go home and see her.  It was a great week!  I cried as soon as I saw her... No matter how old you get, it is always so comforting to be hugged by your Mom and Dad.

Gearing up for Father's Day

Hi Beauties~

As I get ready for Father's Day, I think of all the wonderful men in my life.  My little grandson, made my son a Dad, my Husband a Papa  and my Dad a Great Grandfather (aka Pop), this year.  I have made some great cards with my My Paper Pumpkin, but I had to use the Blendabilities to make this great card for my own Dad (Pop, as you already know).  I have many more cards to make this year over last year.  Here is one that I can't wait to get in the mail.  The Alphabet Rotary Stamp made it easy to personalize this card.

This was done with the Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Blendabilities.  I am also loving the Thick Twine, it looks great when it is unraveled piece by piece.  Now back to making more Father's Day cards for the great Dad's in my life!

Bloom with Hope and Blendabilities

Hi Beauties~


Oh, the possibilities are endless, I am just loving both the Blendabilities alcohol markers and the Bloom with Hope Hostess set, coming in the new 2014/2015 Stampin' Up! catalog.  As you know, I have been very busy working on our hotel, but since these two items came in, I have made time to do some stamping.  Here are a couple of cards that I made using the Blendabilities (Stampin' Up!'s version of the Copic marker). 

 And the new hostess set that will be coming out soon, is the perfect stamp set to have for these markers.  The flowers are beautiful on their own, but then throw in some Cherry Cobbler and Daffodil Delight and you will be set to make these pretty cards on your own.

 I really love the rich colors on this flower, I felt like a real artist using the Blendabilities Alchol Markers!!!
