Wood & Copper Embossed Card

My August card class featured this beautiful card I found on Pinterest.  I love Pinterest.com!  I find so many wonderful ideas there, many times I copy ideas for classes. Sure I come up with my own ideas too, but more than half the time I utilize the wonderful ideas of others to share at classes.  

This wood and copper embossed card idea came from Leena Girsa at alacards.blogspot.com (click here to see her card), it's a beautiful rustic card!  

I am in love with the Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder on it, wow! It was a big hit at my August card class, so simple, but with heat embossing it's a big hit! Plus it showed others how fun it can be to emboss on Designer Series Papers.  The Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack is full of great wood images to choose from.   

The punch and stamping in the middle of the card are from the Label Me Pretty Bundle.  This great bundle is available in a Wood Bundle (only $36.75) or a Clear Bundle (only $31.50), and you'll save 10% when you buy the bundle, instead of purchasing the stamps and punch separately.

Card Recipe:

• Early Espresso card 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" 
• Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack 5-1/4" x 4"
• Whisper White 5-1/4" x 4"
• Scrap of Whisper White for punch

We even embossed the inside of the cards.   

Card Supplies: 

• Wood Words stamp set (available in Clear or Wood)
• Label Me Pretty stamp set (Clear or Wood)
• Pretty Label Punch
• Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack
• Early Espresso, Whisper White
• VersaMark and Early Espresso inks
• Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder
• Heat Tool
• Big Shot
• Layering Ovals Framelits Dies

Bonus Days! For every $50 US you spent in July 1–31, you got a $5 US Bonus Days coupon to use in August. Don't forget to use your coupons!!

Big On You Bermuda Bay Card

Here's a great card from my friend Jan.  She used one of the beautiful stamps out of the Big On You Photopolymer stamp set, in the Stampin'Up! Occasions catalog.  This is just one of the great stamp sets in that catalog. See a photo of all the cards later in this post.

This card was part of a demonstrator swap I did with friends. Some cards were CASEd (Copy and Share Everything) and some were original ideas.  Either way, we all love stamping and sharing ideas with others.  If you want to learn more about being a demonstrator and having fun crafting with us let me know.  I would love to share all the fun details with you, click here to learn more about being a demonstrator and join my group.

This card also inspired me to make some sweet treats for friends.  I'll be sharing that post and more this week to show some of the fun last week when I attended the Stampin'Up! Leadership in Orlando, FL.  I loved going to this event.  Imagine spending a few days with hundreds of your closest friends. I love going to these events, it's great to make new friends from all over the country and world and reconnect with friends you've seen in the past.  

The Big On You Photopolymer stamp set is a great stamp set for anytime or occasion. Jan used the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack on the card for the fun flowers, as well as some of the wonderful White 1-1/4" Jute Ribbon for the bow.  Jan cut the ribbon in half so it was not as wide (which means you have twice as much).

 

Go big with the Big On You Photopolymer stamp set for only $25.95 you get 4 great greetings. Just think of all the great ideas you can come up with using this great set. Plus there will be no mistaking your feelings when you use this set.  

Punches are a quick and easy way to add interest and dimension to your cards and tags.  The Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack set has 3 great shapes to use on projects, it's a great deal at $16.95.

The White 1-1/4" Jute Ribbon adds a touch of charm to cards and gifts with this trim, 5 yards for only $8.95.

Chalk Talk For You card

I love the Chalk Talk stamp set and Framelits.  Here's a simple card using these products.  I also love the stripes embossing folder, so sad it is going away.  

I used Whisper White Craft Ink with White Embossing Powder and heat embossed before using the Framelit.  I love the way this card looks.  The corner rounder gives a nice look to the card too.

Secret Garden Framed Cards, so pretty!

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms!  Here's some pretty cards from my last card class and to my mom… have a wonderful Mother's Day!

From the Retiring Stamps and Accessories Lists:  Secret Garden stamp set and Framelits, Delightful Dozens stamp set, and Happy Day stamp set.

To Make the Flowers:  Stamped Vellum with Whisper White Craft Ink, and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.  Let it cool then use the Framelits to cut out the flowers.  Use a bone folder to curl the edges of the flowers, then use Sponge Daubers (I used Strawberry Slush, Crisp Cantaloupe and Costal Cabana).  Sponge the ink on the back side of the Vellum for a softer look, then let it dry for a while or heat set with the heat tool on the low setting.  Once the ink is dry use Glue Dots or a Dimensional to adhere to the card front.  

Here's what it looks like with no color added, though the flowers look darker in the photo than they really are.  
Other supplies used:  Very Vanilla card stock, Brown Sugar, Crumb Cake, Strawberry Slush, Crisp Cantaloupe  and Costal Cabana inks, Label Collections Framelits, Stampin' Sponges, Sponge Daubers, Glue Dots, Dimensionals.

Shop online anytime through my stampinup store HERE.

Secret Garden Framed Art

Framed art is something I always love, but I have never tried it before.  This was my first try, I love how it turned out.

I saw the new Weekly Deals yesterday from Stampin'Up! (for April 8-14) and it reminded me of a project I made months ago and forgot share!  My upline Tara Bazata had a fantastic Holiday get together for us all.  Everyone brings a handmade item to the party for the exchange.  Here's my project for the gift exchange.  I love all the layers and found a frame with some room, not quite a shadow box, but it worked well.   Shop online anytime through my stampinup store HERE. 

Here is my project before I put it in the frame.  You can see the layers, and I used my bone folder to curl the ends so the flowers stand out more.

WEEKLY DEALS FROM STAMPIN'UP!

Sale items are while supplies last.

Here are some of the flowers from the project.  I stamped flowers, then used the framelit to cut them out.  I used Whisper White craft ink and Whisper White embossing powder on vellum, and the heat tool  to emboss the flowers.  The Secret Garden Framelits were perfect every time.  

Use a bone folder to curl the edges up giving the flowers more depth.  Crystal Effects, Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots work well to put the flowers today.  The Pearls were a great way to finish the flowers.

Butterflies and Poppies in Tangerine Tango

I love the Butterflies and Poppies.  I was on a roll a while back with the Swallowtail stamp in the Stampin'Up! Spring Catalog, page 18.

I stamped the large image in VersaMark, then used Early Espresso Stampin' Emboss Powder. Heat set with the Stampin' Heat Tool and let cool.

Use the Aqua Painter with Classic inks to color the images, on the stems of the poppies I used a Blender Pen with Classic inks.

I love the Friendly Phrases stamp set.  I use it all the time, but sadly it's on the retiring stamp list.  There's still time to order this and other retiring items before they are gone. SHOP ONLINE NOW 

Contact me to order, or order online 24/7, be sure to list me as your demonstrator, Tammie Morton.
