Martha's February stamp camp

 

Here is my February stamp Camp in my studio on February 11, 2023 at 10 AM.  I am using the Nature's Prints stamp set and the Sun Prints Designer Paper.  You will make 4 beautiful, detailed cards and a gift card holder for $20.  I hope you will plan to attend.  Email me at [email protected] , if you plan to attend.  I hope to hear from you soon.  

By the Bay again...

I am still loving the "By the Bay" suite on page 22 in the Spring Mini Catalog.  I can't seem to put the stamps back on the shelf.  I watched the demonstrations at the Stampin' Up! convention in Vienna.  Someone made this card while on stage.  It was so beautiful that I would make it. The dies cut out the shells and the bird from the DSP. I used gold foil in the center of the Painted Labels die cut.  The tag is in Crumb Cake. This card is a sympathy card but it could be a thinking of you or a birthday card by just changing the words.  This suite is so versatile and I love using it.

Tulip Fields

I am loving the new designer paper New Horizons. You can use it for so many backgrounds.  Here I have cut out the windmill with Windmill Fields dies (157683) and placed it in the fields.  I used the Flowering Fields designer paper and fussy cut the flowers and added a Thank You tag using the Stitched So Sweetly  dies (151690.

As an alternate tag die you could use the Scalloped Contours dies (155560) or the Hippo & Friends dies (153585).  I found I didn't want the Hippo Happiness stamps but the dies are outstanding for labels and tags.

Hey Chicks

Today I had friends stamping with me and I made this card.  The Hey Chicks bundle and the Birthday Chicks bundle were used.  I used Cajun Craze for the card base and layered a piece of the Gilded Autumn DSP (5 1/4 X 4).  It is the one with the speckles on it.  I thought it looked like someone had sprinkled chicken feed around.  I used Basic Gray for the chicken coop, Garden Green and Daffodil Delight for the corn stalk and daffodil for the chicks,  I stamped the chickens on Whisper White and colored one with Crumb Cake marker, Real  Red and Pumpkin Pie.  The overlay is a Window Sheet stamped with All Wired Up and Stazon ink.  There is a Cajun Craze frame (5 1/2 X 4 1/4") on top.  A scrap of Whisper White is used for the tag.   The light from my camera reflected on the window sheet in a couple of places so please disregard the two white areas.  Did you notice that two of the little chicks escaped the fence.  They are headed for trouble.  Lol. A sack of chicken feed is leaning on the frame.  I used Crumb Cake for that.

Guy Card

Do guys wear suspenders any more.  My Dad never had them.  I made this card using the Plaid Tidings DSP in the Holiday Mini catalog.  I believe the DSP is retired now but it is perfect for guy shirts.  I used the following to make the card:

Whisper White card base 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4"

Glad Tidings DSP 4 X 5  1/4"

Brass Foil scrap

Merry Merlot for suspenders and buttons.  The buttons are so cute.  They could be used on any card.  I cut the collar of the shirt out and adhered it with dimensionals so that it looked like a shirt collar.  Before I adhered it to the card I cut  a v out at the neck.  The dies emboss as well as cut.  It's a cute card that any guy would be proud to receive.

Whale Done Card

Sorry, I have not been posting for a while.  Here is my Whale Done card.  This set is so much fun to work with and the designer paper that coordinates is gorgeous.   Here are the dimensions:

Pacific Point is 11 X 4 ¼” Scored at  2 ¾” and 8 ¼”

Whale of a Time Designer paper is 2 ½” X 4” – 2 pieces

Garden Green is 4 ¼” X 2 ¼”

Whisper White is 2” X 4”

The Balmy Blue glimmer Paper is ¼” X 5 ¼”

Inside is a piece of Whisper White 5 ¼” X 4”

You will need a scrap of Whisper White to stamp the turtles and the Sea horses.   I hope you love my card.  Thanks for stopping by.  Martha

Alternate Card:  

Heartwarming Hugs

I used the paper Pumpkin , August 8/20 cards.  I made a wreath using the vellum leaves. I stamped the cups in Bumble Bee using the Warm Hugs set.  I absolutely love the verse.  Warm Hugs is such a versatile set. I'm in love with it. 

World of Good Club Card

Here is my second club card for July.  I used the Beautiful World Bundle (154091).  I love the Old World Paper 3-D Embossing Folder (153200).  I used the new in-colors for this project.  I purchased instructions from Connie and Mary.  It's a beautiful card.  

Peony Birthday card

I am in love with the new Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (152483).  It has Petal Pink, Basic Gray and Gray Granite colors.  Here is one of my cards I made for my club cards this month.  I gave them a choice of using Petal Pink or Rococo Rose Blends to color.  They turned out beautiful.  

This card base is Basic Gray (121044).  The designer paper need to be cut 1/8" smaller on the length and on the width to measure 5 1/8" X 3 7/8".  On the bottom left side measure in 1 1/4"  to the left side of the card and put a tic mark.  Then from the same corner measure up 1 1/4" up towards the top.  Cut the DSP from the top left corner to the first tic mark.  that is the lower side of the card, then pivot the DSP from the top corner to the other tic mark and cut.  Now you have all 3 pieces to make the card.  I colored the middle piece with my blends. Attach all 3 pieces to the card front leaving a tiny bit of gray cardstock in between each piece.  Add a sentiment and ribbon and you are finished.  Thanks for visiting my blog today.
