Guest Stamper Something for Baby

I am really excited about sharing a little something special on Mary Fish's blog today. If you have just come over from Stampin' Pretty, thanks so much for taking the time to visit out my blog.  A special thank you to Mary for giving me the opportunity to share my work.  It is always an honor. Mary is the wonderful leader of the Pals and her work is such an inspiration.


Have you seen the 2014-2015 Stampin' Up Catalog yet?  It is chock full of fabulous new products and some old favorites.  Get your list started because beginning at noon on June 2nd you will be able to order your favorites.  If you don't have a demonstrator and need a catalog,  I would be happy to send you one.

Today I want to share a couple of projects which use a few of my NEW favorites.  As a demonstrator, I was able to begin ordering new items on May 1st.  Just one of the demonstrator benefits I enjoy.  My first order included the new Something for Baby Stamp Set and Baby's Firsts Framelits.  Order them as a bundle and get 15% off.  


Here is a clean and simple card made using the NEW stamp sets and framelits, NEW Lullaby Designer Series Paper, and other brand new products.  It is chock full of new products: stamp sets, twine, paper, and ink.  I just love the color palette of the Lullaby DSP, especially Coastal Cabana (In Color 2013-2015) and Hello Honey (In Color 2014-2016).
The onesie and tie were stamped and then cut out perfectly by using the coordinating framelits.  Nothing could be easier!  The sentiment is from the NEW Something to Say stamp set.  CUTE, CUTE, CUTE!

My second project is a little bag which will hold a gift card or some sweet treats. It was CASEd from Pootle's, a UK Demonstrator. She has dozens of tutorials for boxes and bags.  This one was made from a 4 1/2" X 6 1/2" sheet of DSP.  These are perfect for the Stampin' Up paperstack.  I plan to post another example later this week, so be sure to come back.

  

The DSP was scored with the Simply Scored tool at 1", 3", 4", and 6" along the 6 1/2" side.
Turn the DSP to the 4 1/2" side and score at 1".  The topper is a 3" X 2" piece of coordinating cardstock.  Use the Scallop Tag Topper Punch to make this cute closure.  I scored the piece 1 1/4" from the straight edge and added it to the top of the bag with the brand NEW Fast Fuse, which is 6X's stronger than Snail.  It is perfect for 3D items.  You can order yours on June 2nd!  I love it.  I will post additional picture later this week.

The duck was stamped on Whisper White with Hello Honey and cut out using the coordinating framelit. I small clothespin was used to close the bag.  A Designer Pearl adorns the Hello Honey flower punched with the Petite Petal punch.  Today is the last day to get bundle pricing on the Petite Petal set.  So don't miss out-got to my online store now to order yours.

Stampin' Up's Blendabilities

Have you heard about the Blendabilities from Stampin' Up?  They are being introduced in the 2014-2015 catalog.  They will be available for order later this summer.  Right now they are only available to Stampin' Up Demonstrators.  I recently received mine and I have been learning to use them.  Today, I want to share my first attempt.

I chose to use several new products on this card.  The background was made with the chevron stamp from Work of Art.  I used the Rich Razzleberry and Daffodil Delight sets of Blendabilities to color the new Blended Bloom stamp.  This is available to demonstrators this month and has quickly become a favorite judging from the hundreds of samples popping up on Pinterest.  I added a sentiment and a bit of Hello Honey Ribbon.  Several of the brand new In-Colors for 2014-2015 are used on this card.  I am particularly excited about Lost Lagoon, Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey.  Expect to see a lot more of them in the coming weeks on my blog.

Card Supplies:
Stamp Sets:  Blended Bloom and Work of Art
Paper:  Whisper White, Blackberry Bliss and Lost Lagoon
Tools:  Rich Razzleberry and Daffodil Delight Blendabilites
Accessories:  Satin Stitched Hello Honey Ribbon and Stampin' Dimensionals

Another Geometric Card

Today's card uses a different color combination of triangles, which were stamped in Strawberry Slush, Crushed Curry, and Bermuda Bay.  They were mounted on a strip of Basic Black.  The "You're In My Thoughts" sentiment from A Dozen Thoughts was stamped above the triangles.  I love the variety of the fonts and sentiments in the A Dozen Thoughts set.

Sweetie Pie Photopolymer Stamp Sets

When they were first introduced I was very hesitant.  I have bought acrylic stamps from a variety of companies in the past but I was never satisfied with my stamped images.  Again Stampin' Up to the rescue.  The SU photopolymer stamps are so detailed and clear.  

Today's card uses the Sweetie Pie and the coordinating Frames.  The photopolymer stamps stick to our acrylic blocks and are easy to place.  Quick and simple card ready for sending.

Stamp Set:  Sweetie Pie and Sweetie Pie Frames

Paper:  Fresh Prints, Whisper White, Basic Black

Ink:  Real Red and Black Staz'On
