Stunning All Things Fabulous Bundle

Handmade greeting card created with the All Things Fabulous bundle

The stunning All Things Fabulous Bundle (154112) enables you to make beautiful floral cards and decorate 3D items. This bundle includes a set of 26 photopolymer stamps and is a 3-step stamp set. This gives you the ability to create a wonderful sense of depth to the flowers. With so many stamps, it is easy to get confused as to how to use them all. Let me share some things I have discovered to make it easier for you.

The stamp case insert has the three stamps for each flower grouped together in a line. That is helpful. The clear plastic sheet the stamps stick to not only has the stamped image of the stamp but also has the three stamps to use labelled in very tiny, almost microscopic print along with an arrow showing the direction the stamp faces to line up with each stamp of the series. Honestly, I did not see the tiny print even after someone said it was there. I thought the labelling was missing on my set. Finally, I was able to see it when I got the light to reflect just right off the plastic sheet. I have created a cheat sheet for you with the labeling and direction arrows hand-written so even aging eyes like mine can see them. I also found positioning the dies a little challenging at first so I have included the die to use next to each set of stamps. I hope this cheat sheet will help you as much as it has helped me. I keep it close by so I can see the positioning of each stamp. See photo 2.

On a side note, I though 4a and 5a were leaves with 4b and 5b being flowers to nest with the leaves. After several tries, it dawned on me that 4a and 4b were a two-step flower with 4c being the stem. The same is true for 5a, 5b, and 5c.

In 3-step stamping, ink the stamp with the least detail with the lightest color stamp, the next greater detail with the next darker ink, and the stamp with the greatest detail with the darkest ink. Sometimes it helps to stamp off once one of the colors to create a nice gradation of depth of color. Use the lines and spaces on each successive stamp in a series to guide in placement of each stamp. Have fun experimenting with different color combinations while practicing placement of the stamps. See photo 3 with some of the combinations I really like.

Combo 2 for rose – Purple Posy (retired), Highland Heather*, Gorgeous Grape
Combo for flower 5 – Balmy Blue, Pacific Point
Pear Pizzazz, Cinnamon Cider

Cardstock – Whisper White 8 ½” x 5 ½” scored and folded for card base, 5” x 3 ¾”, scraps for large flowers and label;  Pacific Point 5 ¼” x 4”, Mossy Meadow 5” x 2”

Accessories – Fabulous Florals Dies, Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Rectangle Stitched Frames, Stampin’ Seal, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Mini Stampin Dimensionals

Instructions:
1. Adhere Pacific Point CS to card base with Stampin’ Seal

3. Fill in blank spaces with the speckles stamp using Cinnamon Cider ink. Then adhere this layer to card front.
4. Cut the Mossy Meadow CS out with the beautiful lattice die. Adhere it to the card front with a bit of Stampin’ Seal.
5. Stamp the greeting on Whisper White CS with Pear Pizzazz ink.
6.Use the next to smallest skinny rectangle to cut out the greeting. However, the label will be too wide and cover too much of the Mossy Meadow diecut. Make the label thinner by placing the die on the CS so that one edge of the die is close to the stamped image and run through the die-cutting machine. Place the resulting label back in the die matching the stitching on the ends and cutting off part of the width of the label.
7. Adhere the label to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
8. Stamp the rose series of stamps that are open at the top on scraps of Whisper White CS once with the Combo 1 of inks and once with the Combo 2. Cut out with the matching die. Add to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
9. Stamp the flower 5 series with Balmy Blue and Pacific Point inks and cut out with die. Add to card front by corner of label with Stampin’ Mini Dimensional.

Order this stunning All Things Fabulous Bundle and follow along as I share different samples using this bundle in the next few blog posts. I will also be featuring it on this coming Friday’s FaceBook Live at 3 pm on my Soggy Stamper Facebook page.

New Online Store Opening Today

Leave a reply
Front Page of my online store

A totally new Online store opening today! The time had come to update the Stampin’ Up! online store. It had become a legacy and almost a dinosaur as online stores go. Rather than just remodel the store, a completely new platform and design has been developed. The old online store closed today at 12:00 am and the new one opened for business at 7:00 am MDT.

You will love the new store! It has been designed with the new stamper in mind so it is much more intuitive. Some of the product names have been changed like patterned paper substituted for designer series papers. You may find other terms changed as you browse through the store. Images are larger so you can see details better. Another feature is a great sorting function. You can choose to just see stamps that are seasonal, for Christmas, etc.

All your information from the old store will be transferred to this store so you don’t have to enter your address, credit card number, etc. again. However, this is a totally new site with a new URL so any saved passwords and links will not work as they are tied to the old store. You will have to enter your password manually the first time you sign in to the new store. If you have forgotten your password, there is a place to click to get a new password.

When you click on an item, you will see a few cool items:

  • Large photos of the item and samples created with it on the left
  • On the right is an option to choose the quantity and a ‘Add to Basket’ button
  • In the upper right corner of every screen is a shopping basket icon. Just click on it to see what is in your basket.
  • just above the ‘Add to basket’ button is a small heart. When you click on this, you add the item to your wish list. The cool thing about this list is that you can send it to someone else who is interested in giving you a present. This wish list is saved and when you log in again, not only can you access it but you will be reminded of the items on the list.
  • If an item is in low supply or backordered, that is stated under the picture of the item on the pages that show all the items in that particular category. It lets you know upfront the status of the item.
  • As you continue to add items to your shopping basket, once you reach the total purchases that give you Stampin’ Benefits, a button appears that allows you to use the rewards to purchase the item.
  • In the upper right corner there will appear a gift icon. Clicking on this lets you know what gifts you will receive. Everyone who purchased at least $50 in July should see this icon which lets you know you have a coupon available to redeem in August.
  • On the right side is a turquoise button for giving feedback. Clicking on this button gives you the ability to give directly to Stampin’ Up! feedback on the product on the page, on a possible glitch on the page, a suggestion on how to make the page better, or to ask a question. Do use this feature as it helps Stampin’ Up! make this new online store even better.

Once you have finished shopping, checkout is easy. Click on the shopping basket icon. On the left side of the screen will be pictures, name of items, and prices in your shopping cart. On the right side is a large checkout button and places to enter coupon codes and host codes. Once you click on the checkout button, the next screen will give you a place to enter payment, review order, and place order.

I’m really excited about the new online store opening today. i love the bigger pictures and the wish list function in particular. I’m sure you will love it too! This is my birthday month and I am celebrating by giving YOU a package of adhesive-backed snowflakes when you place an order with me this month.

Go check out the new store…and do a little shopping while you are there. 🙂

Those Zany Zebras Are So Much Fun!

Handmade birthday card created with Zany Zebras stamp set

Oh my, those Zany Zebras (152536) are so much fun! Aren’t they just the cutest? Last Friday I shared a #simplestamping card a child could make. Check it out! Today I’m sharing the card I made for a swap with an online demonstrator group. This card is quite a step up from the simple stamping one I shared on Friday.

For this card I started with a Misty Moonlight cardstock base. Misty Moonlight is one of the beautiful new 2020-2022 In Colors. You can see the other colors here. I used one of the Stitched So Sweetly dies to cut out piece of Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper to serve as a background for the zebras. The zebras and greetings were stamped with Memento ink on Whisper White cardstock and hand cut out. Finally I added a bow from the Bumblebee 1/4″ gingham ribbon.

Supplies Used

  • Misty Moonlight cardstock, 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ folded in half for card base
  • Whisper White cardstock, scraps
  • Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper, scrap
  • Stitched So Sweetly Dies
  • Bumblebee 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon
  • Memento ink pad

Since those Zany Zebras are so much fun, I have fancy-fold card using them coming in another post this week. Check back on Friday. You won’t want to miss this post.

What’s Up with All the Adhesives?

Leave a reply
photo shows all the adhesives available in the 2020-2021 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalog

What’s up with all the adhesives on page 162 in the Annual catalog? There are so many that I don’t know what to use! Let me help you sort it out. The new Stampin’ Up! online store that England has been using for the last 6 months or so divides the adhesives up into three general categories.

Tapes for Basics

This category includes Stampin’ Seal and Stampin’ Seal +, our product to replace SNAIL adhesive. These two products have an ergonomic design that fits comfortably in your hand and applies a line of adhesive. The regular Stampin’ Seal is for adhering layers on cards while the Stampin’ Seal + is for 3D projects. Tear & Tape is another tape that creates an even tighter hold when joining two pieces of cardstock together in a 3D project. Here is a tip: When adhering a strip of ribbon to your project, lay the ribbon on a craft sheet and apply the Stampin’ Seal along the ribbon.

Glue for Embellishmenst

This category includes Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Fine-tip Glue Pen, and Mini-Glue Dots. These are perfect for adhering sequins, bows, and small die-cuts. I have a tip for this category too: When using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, use just small dots. A little goes a long way. I also suggest using the liquid glue to adhere layers when you need to adjust the position a bit as the glue takes a moment to set.

Foam for Dimension

The new 2020-2021 Annual catalog has a wonderful assortment of adhesive foam products to meet various creative needs. There are the Stampin’ Dimensional in both white and black and in mini size to add height to parts of your design. You can also purchase foam strips to support a long edge of a layer and to make shaker boxes. An exciting addition this year is the Foam Adhesive Sheets. Now you can adhere the foam to the back of a piece of cardstock of designer series paper and then die-cut an object like letters or hearts or…  Then you just peel off the paper backing and stick the object down on your card front. No longer do you have to take time to put multiple Stampin’ Dimensionals on the item!

Other Adhesives

There are two other products on this page of adhesives that I want to point out. First is adhesive sheets. Like the Foam Adhesive Sheets, you can apply the adhesive sheet to the back of your cardstock before cutting an object out. Then remove the paper backing and adhere the die-cut to your project. Another way to use this and to conserve on the sheets is to lift the paper cover and stick a die-cut down on the sticky surface. Replace the covering paper and rub the die-cut to make sure all the sticky gets transferred to your die-cut. Then use a Take Your Pick to lift the die-cut off the adhesive sheet. This way you can use the sheet over and over again.

The second product I am really excited about solves the problem of having your old clear mount stamps not sticking to the acrylic blocks. This is the Cling Adhesive. Yes, now we can buy the wonderful cling used in the labels of our cling rubber stamps. You get a package of 168 strips that are 1 ¾” x ¾”. Just one strip is all that is needed to hold those older stamps to your blocks.

I hope this article has helped you know what is up with all the adhesives Stampin’ Up! offers and guides you to know when to use each of them. Contact me if you have any questions or need to order them.

Stamping With Kids Is Fun

Leave a reply
Simple handmade birthday card using the Zany Zebra stamp set. This card is a perfect one to make when stamping with kids.

Stamping with kids is fun and can be challenging or it can be very gratifying. There are some things I have learned over the years that might help you enjoy the time spent with your kids.

  • First you need to keep the projects simple. This card is a good example of this. I chose a stamp set that would appeal to children. This is the Zany Zebras stamp set (152536). The zebras are cute and don’t need to be colored in. You can fine other stamp sets that would appeal to kids on pages 94-99 of the 2020 – 2021 Annual catalog. I stamped the three different zebra images randomly on the Whisper White cardstock with Memento Ink and added a greeting in the middle. With kids I suggest they stamp the greeting first and then stamp the animals around it. That layer was then added to the card base of Mango Melody cardstock.
  • It is important to give the kids a brief lesson on how to use the stamps, ink pads, and adhesives. Show them to tap, tap, tap the stamp onto the ink pad rather than pressing down really hard. Teach them to close up the stamp pads as soon as they have finished using it to avoid getting ink all over everything. Show them how to clean the stamps as soon as they have used them by stamping off the excess ink onto scrap paper before washing them. This keeps your scrubber from getting filled with ink right away.
  • You may have a specific designed project for the kids to make but be prepared for them to do their own thing. I used to get so frustrated because the kids would totally cover the card with images ruining (in my mind) the composition by adding too much stuff. But you know what? They were having great fun and enjoying being creative! Isn’t that the purpose of introducing them to stamping?
  • Another thing I have learned when stamping with kids is to have a predetermined amount of product available for them to use. I had a class of girls that were about ten years old. The project included using self-adhesive rhinestones and I just put the package out on the table. I had intended them to each use only three rhinestones. However, they would have used the whole package if I hadn’t stopped them! Oops…lesson learned. Cut up the package into pieces containing the three rhinestones they are to use and give one to each stamper, then put the rest away.
  • Finally, relax! Stamping with kids is fun. It is a wonderful way to spend a rainy afternoon or when they are bored. The time spent together is well worth the effort and you are encouraging their creativity. I hope these point on stamping with kids help. Contact me for more ideas or answers to questions you may have.

Still Loving the Peony Garden Suite!

Leave a reply
Handmade sympathy card created with the Peony Garden Suite

I’m still loving the Peony Garden Suite (154129)! I introduced the suite in this blog post and shared a second card I created with the suite in this post. Today I’m sharing a third card featuring the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (152483).

I chose one of the gray granite floral designs for this card. I cut a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of the dsp on the diagonal with the intention of just flipping one piece over and lining it up with the front side. Well….that didn’t work as the cut then went the wrong direction as you can see. This is one of those ‘happy’ mistakes because I like the way the card turned out better than I had planned. I debated about using one larger flower and covering the triangle where the card base shows but ended up with the three smaller flowers instead.

This Peony Garden Designer Series Paper has several designs that lend themselves beautifully to being colored in with Stampin’ Blends. However for this card I wanted to just have the three smaller flowers add the color.

Two of the sayings in the Prized Peony stamp set speak to the passing of someone dear. This card is going to a long-time friend whose sister just passed away. The stamp for the inside says “My thoughts are with you.” I love it when a stamp set has a greeting for the front of the card and one for the inside.

Supplies to make this card

So I’m still loving the Peony Garden Suite. Have I convinced you to love it too? Then contact me or visit my online store to order the suite for yourself. Remember to use the host code when you order for a small gift from me and remember to keep track of your order on my Customer Appreciation sheet.

Happy Fourth of July Card

Leave a reply
Handmade Happy Fourth of July Card created with Dandelion Wishes.

Here is my Happy Fourth of July Card for you. When you don’t have star stamps or dies, you have to be creative to make a Fourth of July card. This stamp set is Dandelion Wishes (151345) and the dandelion seed heads look a lot like mini fireworks to me. I stamped the image in Versamark…no, I first used markers to color the stamp and then stamped it in Versamark. Big mistake! I should have stamped first in Versamark and then colored with the markers as my Versamark pad got red, blue, and yellow ink on it. Anyways, I then put retired Iridescent Ice embossing powder on the image and heat embossed it. I also did this with the greeting. The glitter from the embossing powder doesn’t show up in the above photo but check out this close-up one.

Close up of Iridescent Ice embossed details of card created with Dandelion Wishes.

You can use a similar technique to emboss an image in any color you want. First ink the stamp with Versamark and then ink with your desired color. Stamp the image and emboss with clear embossing powder.

Supplies To Make This Happy Fourth of July Card

  • Night of Navy Cardstock 11″ x 4 1/4″ scored at 5 1/2″ and folded for card base
  • Retired red glimmer paper 5 1/4″ x 4″
  • Whisper White Cardstock 5″ x 3 3/4″
  • Dandelion Wishes and retired More Great Greetings stamp sets
  • Versamark Ink and Pacific Point, Real Red, retired Pineapple Punch Stampin’ Write Markers
  • retired Iridescent Ice embossing powder, heat tool, Well-Written Dies (151816)
  • Stampin’ Seal, Stampin Dimensionals

So here’s to a great Fourth of July! Stay safe, keep your distance and mask up!

Taking Good Care of Your Stampin’ Blends

Leave a reply
Photo of some Stampin' Blends

Taking good care of your Stampin’ Blends is of utmost importance if you love them as much as I do. Since the Stampin’ Blends are alcohol-based inks, they will dry out much faster than a water based- marker when exposed to air.  That is why the tops are extremely tight.  When you are closing your markers, make sure you hear a “click” which will assure you that your marker is closed correctly.  You may even want to press the end that you closed down on the table to be extra careful.

The caps have an interior well which is designed to keep the marker wet as long as possible.  Make certain you have inserted the marker tip straight-on into the top.  If not, you may mash the tip of the marker and blunt the tip.  So, take time to close your markers correctly.

Do not leave your markers open for long periods of time.  When coloring an image in which I am switching colors, I slide the tip loosely into the top case so they are not exposed to the air when I know I will be using that color several times.

There are two ends to your Stampin’ Blends.  One end is a brush type nib and the other end is more like a pen to create find lines.  There is a white line on each of the caps.  One has a thicker line which goes to the brush type end and the thin line goes to the thin, pen type end.  Make certain you are adding the correct top.  There is also a picture on each end of the marker showing the thick and the thin ends of the marker.

When storing your Stampin’ Blends, make certain they are stored horizontally.  The barrel is rectangular shaped to keep them from rolling and helps keep them from rolling away.

By taking good care of your Stampin’ Blends, they will have a much longer life.

Another World of Good Graduation Card

Leave a reply
handmade graduation card created with World of Good suite of products

Here is another World of Good Graduation Card I created with the World of Good Suite (154140) of products. I had to make seven of these so this design is less intricate. Actually, I had the cut out portion of the card I posted on Saturday lying on my Big Shot table and decided to make good use of it.

The World of Good Suite is found on pgs 24 – 26 in the 2020 -2021 Annual Catalog. I love this suite for a couple of reasons. You can quickly create exceptional cards with the stunning World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper that has several designs embossed with Brass foil. Brass foil sheets are part of the suite. These foil sheets coordinate perfectly with the dsp. The Beautiful World stamp set has great sayings as well as a vintage look to the images. Finally, the World Map Dies perfectly cut out the images eliminating the need of hand cutting.

These are the supplies I used to make Another World of Good Graduation Card:
-The card base is the lovely new Misty Moonlight, one of the new 2020-2022 In Colors 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and scored at 4 1/4″.
– The second layer is the misty moonlight pattern of the World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper 5 1/4″ x 4″.
– The next layer is the Cinnamon Cider map pattern die-cut with the largest shaped die of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
– Stamp the greeting from the Beautiful World stamp set with Memento ink and cut out with a rectangular Stitched So Sweetly die.
– Adhere this with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a small Gilded Gem.
