Stamping UP! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop- Display Stamper Day 5


Hello there!  Welcome back to day 5 of the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Display Stamper blog hop.  I'm so happy you've joined us!  As we are sharing our beautiful Display Stamper projects from all around the world- please be sure to download Google Translate so you don't miss out on any of the fabulous details!

My projects for today are so sweet.  ❤  They feature the brand new Bundle of Love Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Earlier in the hop, I shared a few samples that were created using this DSP as well however those samples were using Blushing Bride.  My samples today feature the Soft Sky/Vanilla paper.


This paper is perfect for so many occasions.  Especially for baby!  It coordinates so well with the Moon Baby stamp set and various gold embellishments.  As I wanted the moon to be the main focal point on this card, I used the Daffodil Delight re-inker and an Aquapainter to watercolor it in.  I wanted it bold and bright and that's just how it came out!


As you can see in the close up- this card has many different layers.  Lots of texture and dimension help make this card so sweet and oh so fun!  The moon and the baby outfit were also colored in with the Clear Wink of Stella.  It's a little difficult to see in the picture but they are super sparkly.


The second part of this set is an adorable little favor box that would be perfect for a baby shower.  Once again- I've used the Moon Baby stamp set and the Bundle of Love Specialty DSP.


To create the umbrella- I stamped the baby/umbrella image onto a coordinating piece of the Bundle of Love Specialty DSP and a Shimmer White scrap.  Next, I fussy cut the umbrella.  The umbrella was then adhered over the top of  the baby/balloon image that was stamped onto Shimmer White card stock.  


The picture above shows the top view of the box.  It's really cute in person and super simple to create!  As the box needed to be light enough to adhere to the display board with velcro dots- I could only fill it with paper shred.  It however would be adorable filled with baby themed candies.

I hope you have enjoyed my projects for today!  Be sure to check back tomorrow for more beautiful Display Stamper samples!

Stampin' UP! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop- Display Stamper Day 4


Hello there!  Welcome back to day 4 of the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Display Stamper blog hop.  I'm so happy you've joined us!  As we are sharing our beautiful Display Stamper projects from all around the world- please be sure to download Google Translate so you don't miss out on any of the fabulous details!

Today I am featuring the brand new stamp set At Home With You.  This stamp set is FABULOUS!  There are so many options!  Upon first glance at this set it may appear as just an ordinary stamp set.  That is so NOT the case!  The main image is a door and let me tell you- that door is pretty amazing!  It can be opened, closed, wood grain, plain, decorated, undecorated and so much more!


As you can see, my door is Christmas themed.  The Boxwood Wreath embellishments are the perfect coordinating option for this stamp set.  They add a 3 dimensional effect which makes the door look more realistic.


See the holly garland and the evergreen potted trees?  I fussy cut them so that they would appear as though they were separate from the door.  But guess what- in the new Annual Catalog there are coordinating framelits so that you won't have to fussy cut like I did!  


I hope you have enjoyed my project for today!  Be sure to check back tomorrow for more beautiful Display Stamper samples!

Stampin' UP! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop- Display Stamper 3


Hello there!  Welcome back to day 3 of the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Display Stamper blog hop.  I'm so happy you've joined us!  As we are sharing our beautiful Display Stamper projects from all around the world- please be sure to download Google Translate so you don't miss out on any of the fabulous details!
The display sample that I have to share today was a very quick and easy card to create.  This simple yet beautiful card was created using one of the new Boxwood Wreath embellishments from the upcoming Annual Catalog and the Merry Christmas sentiment from the new At Home With You stamp set.


As you can see in the picture below, the Boxwood Wreath embellishments are super cute!  They come in a shape of a wreath but can also be unrolled to create boxwood garland.  I added a few Real Red Enamel Shapes from the Brights Enamel Shapes pack to add some color and make the wreath have more of a Christmas feel.


I hope you have enjoyed my projects for today!  Be sure to check back tomorrow for more beautiful Display Stamper samples!

Stampin' UP! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop- Display Stamper Day 2

Hello there!  Welcome back to day 2 of the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Display Stamper blog hop.  I'm so happy you've joined us!  As we are sharing our beautiful Display Stamper projects from all around the world- please be sure to download Google Translate so you don't miss out on any of the fabulous details!

The samples I have to share today were all created using the brand new In-Colors and the Tranquil Tulips Hostess stamp set.   For me- this stamp set was love at first sight!  I just knew it would create fabulous cards!


For my project- I created a set of four 3" x 3" cards and an adorable little box to hold them.  Each card is for a different occasion.  This set would make a great little thank you gift!  The picture below is the box that holds the cards.  It's just a simple box with a belly band to hold it closed.


As you can see from the close up pic- the tulips were stamped multiple times and fussy cut in order to make the tulips appear 3 dimensional.  Unfortunately the pictures don't really show just how beautiful these projects are.  All tulips were colored with the Clear Wink of Stella to add a bit of shimmer.



The first card is a pretty simple card.  I sometimes think that less is more so I wanted to keep it simple.  I inked the flower in Berry Burst and stamped it off onto a scrap paper before stamping on my card stock.  This allowed for a lighter shade of Berry Burst.  I then used Berry Burst again only instead of stamping it off- I used it fully inked to add the floral accents.  The centers of the flowers were given some dimension using the Fine Tip Glue Pen.


My second card is one of my favorites!  I embossed the Lemon Lime Twist background with the Softly Falling embossing folder.    Two tulips were stamped onto the Whisper White layer.  Then I stamped another set of tulips and cut them out to make the tulips "pop" off the card.  


As I was looking at the different images in the Tranquil Tulips stamp set- 2 images in particular stood out to me.  The first one was the larger tulip and the other was a set of teeny tiny dots.  The first thing I thought of when I saw them was a butterfly!  So that's exactly what I made!  


The picture below is a close up.  To create the buttterfly- I stamped 2 of the top tulip layer in Pool Party.  Then I stamped the series of 3 dots along the points in the tulips.  Next- I cut the tulips out and layered them together using glue dots.  The dragonfly body from the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set makes the perfect body for the butterfly!
I love how the butterfly landed on the tulip.  So cute!

Last but certainly not least is the 4th card from my set.  I love the pretty Powder Pink blooms!  They pop off the card!  The background was created by stamping the floral accents all over the Fresh Fig card stock in VersaMark ink. 




I hope you have enjoyed my projects for today!  Be sure to check back tomorrow for more beautiful Display Stamper samples!

Stampin' UP! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop- Display Stamper Day 1

Hello there!  Welcome to the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Display Stamper blog hop.  I'm so happy you've joined us!  As we are sharing our beautiful Display Stamper projects from all around the world- please be sure to download Google Translate so you don't miss out on any of the fabulous details!

I have a set of 3 projects to share today.  They all feature a gorgeous new Designer Series Paper!  I absolutely LOVE this new DSP and I know you will too!  It's called Bundle of Love Specialty DSP.  It's a thicker DSP with gold foil designs on one side and and either Blushing Bride/Very Vanilla or Soft Sky/Very Vanilla on the other side.  


  I'm not sure about you- but I like my gift bags to be sturdy and this DSP does the trick!  
I knew once I felt the thickness of this new paper that it would be perfect for creating gift bags or boxes.  


Here is a close up of the embellishment on the gift bag.  It was created by using a watercolor wash of Powder Pink, Berry Burst and Old Olive.  These new In-Colors are absolutely GORGEOUS!  


To keep in the same Blushing Bride/Very Vanilla/Gold theme- I made a coordinating card that also contains the same colors/embellishments as the gift bag.  This card makes my heart happy ❤.  It's so pretty...


The embellishment on the card was created using a watercolor wash of Powder Pink, Berry Burst and Old Olive.  I chose to use the Birthday Blooms stamp set for these projects because the flowers from the set are so beautiful.  Especially when watercolored!


My final project for today is a tiny 2" x 2" Clear Treat Box.  This box was decorated with a belly band and a set of two bows created using the Bow Builder Punch.  As the box is already premade- these are super fast to create.  


Once again- I have used the Birthday Blooms stamp set to create the embellishment.  I stamped onto Shimmer White card stock, watercolored the image and after it dried I colored it again using Clear Wink of Stella.  



I hope you have enjoyed my projects for today!  Be sure to check back tomorrow for more beautiful Display Stamper samples!

An Easter Treat

Hello there!  Can  you believe it's already time for the Stampin' UP! retired list?  Boy- that time sure did FLY by!  CLICK HERE to download a PDF copy of the list.  Be sure if you see something that you want to order it ASAP!  Otherwise you  might miss out!

Sadly- one of my favorite stamp sets/coordinating framelits did not make it to the Annual Catalog.  
Fortunately I still have a little while longer to enjoy it!


These adorable little Easter treats are so quick and easy to create!  My toppers measure 1-1/4" x 1-3/4" (they measure 1-3/4" x 2-1/2" before being folded in half).  I decorated them with Emerald Envy grass, a Pumpkin Pie carrot and an adorable Whisper White bunny!  These are the perfect size for co-worker or classroom treats.  I will be using mine for place settings at Easter dinner.

Thanks for stopping by!
