Fox & Friends Sweet Giraffe

Hi there! Today's card is another card that I stamped a while back... I need to stop making promises about what will appear on my blog, because I did not get to stamp again today! Or edit my video that I wanted to post! Oh why, Old Man Winter, are you giving the sunny south this snowy, icy weather? Don't you know that I can't get anything accomplished when my children are home for days on end? Well, that plus all of the pre-move tasks that I have now on my To Do list. No more promises, other than I'll still try to post daily. (But I AM STAMPING TOMORROW!) ;-) ** Disclaimer: My children are home again tomorrow because of icy roads! And only have a half-day on Thursday & are off of Friday for Conferences! Ack! And we're expecting another snow storm! Ack Ack!!

This is a card that I did at a workshop last month as a make & take. Clean and simple, with an introduction to our new Fox & Friends stamp set in clear mount, the Scallop Trim Border Punch, and the Shades of Spring DSP. Sweet and easy.

Supplies:

• 118565 Fox & Friends clear mount stamps (117020 wood)
• 118601 Well Scripted (c) or 117072 (w)
• 117160 Shades of Spring DSP

Fox & Friends Baby Card

Hello Stampers! Today's project is another one that we did at Pam's workshop last weekend. Isn't he cute? Pam is throwing a baby shower for a friend, so I thought this would be a cute make and take, and one that shows that all you really need to make cards is stamps, ink & paper. I had the Fox & Friends and the Well Scripted stamp sets on the tables, so everyone could choose their own animal and phrase and everyone ended up with totally unique cards! Fun!

Supplies:

• 118601 Well Scripted (clear) or 117072 (wood)
• 118565 Fox & Friends (clear) or 117020 (wood)
• 100730 Whisper White Cardstock

Fox & Friends Baby Gift

Hello! Today's project is a gift that I made for my customer, Crystal, who just had a baby boy. Congratulations, Crystal! I'm assuming that she doesn't have time or energy to make her own thank you notes for the gifts she has received, so I thought I'd whip up some for her. (Any excuse to use that adorable monkey from the Fox & Friends stamp set! Ha!)

• The new clear mount stamps let me put Mr Monkey right where I wanted him. He was stamped in Close To Cocoa on Whisper White cardstock, which was double mounted with Close To Cocoa and Bashful Blue Cardstock. Perfect baby boy colors!
• The sentiment is from Family Phrases, and adorable word set that is perfect for babies and children. The oval punches make the words stand out just a touch.
• I forgot to take a picture of the matching envelopes, but they have a monkey stamped in the lower right corner. Too cute!

So cute and simple and easy to make. Love it! 

Supplies:

• 118565 Fox & Friends clear mount stamp set (117020 Wood-mount)  *You need a clear block with the clear mount stamps. For this set, I recommend Block B (117147)
• 114960 Family Phrases stamp set
• 100730 Whisper White Cardstock
• 101341 Close to Cocoa Cardstock
• 103139 Close to Cocoa Ink
• 105120 Bashful Blue Cardstock
• 107305 Large Oval Punch
• 114889 Scallop Oval Punch

Heard From the Heart Flower

 

Hello! Today's project is one that I demonstrated at a recent workshop where they wanted to see the Big  Shot. The flower was die-cut with the Stampin Up Simple Flower Embosslit Die, which both die-cuts a shape and embosses it. Neat! The leaves were die-cut with Stampin Up Little Leaves Sizzlit. The white background was embossed with the Stampin' Up Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plate, and it was matted on a Pretty In Pink card base. A Fire Rhinestone Brad was added to the center of the flower for a touch of bling, and the flower was mounted with a Stampin' Dimensional. The sentiment is from Heart From the Heart stamp set.

Fox & Friends Baby Card and Blog Candy!

 

Hello! Today's card is another sneak peek at some upcoming stamp sets from the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog. I just can't get over how much I love these clear mount stamps! They make perfect placement a snap, and they take up very little room while storing! Once again, I've featured the Fox and Friends stamp set (adorable!) and the Well Scripted Stamp set. The font on the Well Scripted set is gorgeous, and it covers many occasions: Mother's Day, Father's Day, Birthday, Easter, Valentines, and Congrats! Check out the video to see the new punch style and how I made the card:

 

Over the past few years, there has been enormous demand from demonstrators and customers alike for a line of repositionable clear-mount rubber stamps. Well, you asked for it, and now you have it! Starting with stamps in the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and the 2010 Sale-A-Bration Brochure, Stampin’ Up! now offers our exclusive stamp art in both traditional wood-mount, and the new clear-mount option. 

Our new clear-mount rubber stamps are the result of extensive research with the intent to maintain the very best image quality in the stamping industry, while at the same time offering the ease-of-use and storability inherent in repositionable clear-mount rubber stamps.

Clear-Mount Rubber Stamp Features:

• Nine different sizes of clear blocks available individually or as a discounted bundle.
• Blocks have ergonomic grooves on all four sides for easy grip and traditional wood-mount feel.
• Stamps and blocks are durable and easy to clean with your Stampin’ Scrub and Stampin’ Mist.
• Optional image labels on stamp backs let you decide if you want to see the image through the block or not.
• Tight die-cutting for easy image positioning.
• Large clear blocks can be used to create collages or spell words with alphabet sets.
• Stamps store easily in standard, DVD-type cases with artwork on front and spine, making organization easy.
