The Little Details Matter: A Crafter's Gift

Hi Stamper!
The other day, we were asked to do a gift exchange among a bunch of Stampin' Up demonstrators from our amazing community. Our community includes demonstrators like Denise Donald, (visit her at: www.craftdbear.com), and Melissa Omoniyi (visit her at www.lovelystamping.blogspot.ca). The gift had to be handmade using Stampin' Up products and/or current Stampin' product(s) valued up to $15. Of course we jumped at the opportunity and got crafting right away. The inspiration for this project came from our Dazzling Details products. Whether you're an experienced crafter or a newbie, Dazzling Details adds a little something special to any project.

Tip: Use our White Signo Uni-Ball Gel Pen to colour snow on the trees. After the pen is dry, add some Dazzling Details for a glitter snow effect.

Get inspired by the products around you, maybe you'll have a cute gift in the end too!

Not-So Masculine Birthday Card

Hi Stamper!
A few weeks ago, we were challenged to create a masculine card using a non-masculine colour. While some guys out there may like pink and purple they aren't the standard for masculine colours, but we are about to prove all the critics wrong. This week's project showcase's Blackberry Bliss, which just happens to be on both of our top 5 colours by Stampin' Up, as the focus of our masculine Birthday card. Enjoy!

Tip: Use an X-Acto Knife on one of our Stampin' Pierce Mats to get in-between the antlers and feet. Use our Paper Snips to do a around the elk and rock. 

This is a "No Big Shot Required" Card. Whohoo!

Want to recreate this project? No problem! Here's what you'll need:


We hope this project, will make you think outside of the box on your next masculine card.

Home for Christmas: Card Tutorial

Hi Stamper!
There is only 16 days until Christmas! Not finished all your cards yet? No problem! Today we are going to be sharing a simple tutorial on how to create this beautiful Christmas card that will take you no time. Not only is this card quick but it's perfect for any man or woman in your life, at Christmas time. These instructions are our FREE tutorial of the month so enjoy!



First thing you’re going to do is cut your cardstock. You’ll need the following pieces:

Mossy Meadow Cardstock:
One piece cut to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and then scored in the middle at 4 ¼”
One piece cut to cardstock to ¾” x 4 ½” 

Very Vanilla Cardstock:
Two pieces cut to cardstock to 4” x 5 ¼”

Real Red Cardstock:
One piece cut to 3 ½” x 1 ¼”

Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper:
Cut one piece of paper to 3 ¾” x 5”

First glue your Designer Series Paper piece onto one of the Very Vanilla Cardstock. Using glue dots attach a piece of Very Vanilla 1-1/4” Subtle Stripes Satin Ribbon to the Very Vanilla Cardstock by wrapping it around and pressing firmly on the glue dots. Attach this piece onto the card base using dimenstionals. 


Then using the Triple Banner Punch, punch “banners” out of the Mossy Meadow ¾” x 4 ¼” Cardstock and the 3 ½” x 1 ¼” Real Red Cardstock. Stamp the “Merry Christmas” sentiment using Black Archival Ink onto the Real Red Banner. 

Using fast fuse, attach the Mossy Meadow Banner onto the ribbon on the card and then attach the Real Red Banner using dimensionals. Add some Home for Christmas Enamel Dots for a little flair.

Lastly glue the other Very Vanilla piece of cardstock in the inside of the card so you have somewhere to write your Christmas greetings.

 This is a "No Big Shot Required" Card. Whoohoo!

Want to recreate this card? Here's what you'll need:


We hope this card will help with your last minute card making. They will never even know!

Thanks A Bunch: Watercolour Card

Hi Stamper!
Recently, I attended a Watercolour Class for Demonstrators, hosted by Jamilla Ivits, (make sure to check out her blog at: www.jamillastampingrounds.blogspot.ca) who is a fellow community member of mine. During the class, I extended my knowledge of using Stampin' Up's Aqua Painters  (one of my favourite products of all time) and learned how to proper use our Blender Pens. I was so inspired by the class that I took a step-back from Christmas cards and continued the watercolour fun. So with out further ado, here is this week's creation. Enjoy!

Tip: Do a small wash of diluted colour (whether it's Elegant Eggplant or Mossy Meadow) to start and slowly add colour. Colour can be added but not removed once on the paper.

This is a "No Big Shot Required" card. Whoohoo!

Want to recreate this project? Here's the supplies you'll need:

I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I enjoyed creating it!
