Elements of Style Stamp Camp Card

Finally!  I'm posting a card that we will make at Stamp Camp on February 18.  I'm really into Pear Pizzazz--I think it's such a pretty shade of green.  And it works well for a monochromatic card.  The stamp set used on this card is Elements of Style.

 

It's hard to see, but the Whisper White butterfly is embossed with the small circle texture plate.

For all the info on Stamp Camp (I extended registration to Monday since I didn't get cards posted) and on the card kits, click here.

Build a Blossom and Blossom Petals Punch

When I look at my many stamp sets (I won't say just how many, lol), I know that I really don't NEED another flower set.  However, when I saw Build a Blossom and the coordinating punch, Blossom Petals in the Occasions Mini, I couldn't resist.  This flower set is just too pretty to pass up! 

When I fell in love with Stamping Up! some 10 years ago, it was the two step stamping that got me.  I think that's why this stamp set "spoke" to me as well. 

I created 8 petals.  I used Concord Crush for both steps, but I stamped off with the background stamp.  I punched each petal out with the Blossom Petals Punch.  Then I used Stampin' Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots to give dimension to the flower.  Here's a closer look.

 

The center of the flower is also from Build a Blossom, stamped in Pear Pizzazz and punched out with the 1/2" Circle Punch.  My background is the hostess Designer Series Paper Pack.  I used Concord Crush Stitched Poly Ribbon.  The sentiment is from Sincere Salutations.

Just ONE MORE DAY until Sale-a-Bration!! This IS the most wonderful time of the year for any stamper.  With a $50 purchase, you can get any Sale-a-Bration item FREE.  Check back tomorrow and I will have the link up to the SAB mini in case you didn't get one in the mail.

Build a Cupcake Punch

I finally sat down and played with some of my Occasions Mini toys!  I needed a little girl birthday card and really liked the one on page 56 of the Idea Book and Catalog.  I changed it just a bit, but it was an awesome starting point.

 

There's not a lot of stamping on this card.  I used the hostess Designer Series Paper Pack for the letters and cupcake.  The letters are made with my Big Shot and Timeless Type Sizzlits.  The cupcake is made with the brand new Build a Cupcake Punch.  There's a stamp set, Create a Cupcake, to coordinate with the punch, but as you can see, the punch is great on it's own.  I added a decorative border with the Eyelet Border Punch.  I added bling with Rhinestone Jewels.

"Birthday" is from the hostess set, Occasional Quotes.  I use this set quite often.  You can get it free by hosting a party (catalog or at your home) of $300 or more.  And with Sale-a-Bration just two short days away, you can get even more FREEBIES!  Contact me for more information, sheryl@stampingwithsheryl.com.

Back to the card...the finishing touch is Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding from the Occasions Mini.  The Seam Binding from the Holiday Mini was a big hit--I'm so glad SU! added more colors.

Embossed Snowflakes--November Stamp Camp Card

Here's one of the cards we will make at my November Stamp Camp.  I got this great idea from another stamper, Kristin Markus.  She sent me a card using die cut leaves and I thought snowflakes would work well too.  I love Concord Crush for the snowflakes.  I couldn't decide which embossing folder I like better so my campers will get to choose.

 
Here's a close up of each of the cards.  The one on the left uses the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.  The one on the right uses the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.

 

 
Can you even tell the snowflakes are die cuts from Northern Frost?  Very cool!

Hope you can join us at November Stamp Camp.  Click here for the registration link.

Mojo Birthday

I needed a birthday card and I looked to this week's Mojo Monday sketch for my starting point.  There's very little stamping on the card.  I let the Greenhouse Gala DSP do the work!

Here's what I used:

Stamp Set:  Oval All

Card Stock:  Pear Pizzazz, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze, Greenhouse Gala DSP

Ink:  Chocolate Chip

Accessories:  Early Espresso Taffeta, Wide Oval and Scallop Oval Punches, Mat Pack and Paper Piercer

Because I Care Stamp Camp Card

Today is the LAST day to register for October's Stamp Camp.  Click here for all of the information.

I have another Stamp Camp card to show you.  There will be one difference for Stamp Camp--the 3 Basic Black circles on the bottom right will be replaced with 3 Black Flourish Jewels from the Holiday Mini.

 

My sister just cut down some of her hydrangeas and a few of them were "Pear Pizzazz" in color--they inspired this card.

If you can't make October's Stamp Camp, but need ideas for your Christmas cards, join me at my Christmas Card Class.  If you don't live in the area, I'm offering kits too.  All of the information can be found right here.

Elements of Style Swap Card

I recently participated in a swap with a group of stampers.  We were given a card and we had to change it--stamps, colors, layout, whatever.  I used the same layout, but changed the stamps and colors.  Here's what I came up with.

 
My colors are Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler.  I used Elements of Style and Occasional Quotes stamp sets.  My Early Expresso panel was run through the Big Shot with the Perfect Details Texturz Plate.  I also used the Beautiful Wings Embosslit.  My sentiment was punched with the Large Oval Punch and matted with the Scallop Oval Punch.  The finishing touch is a piece of Early Espresso Taffeta.

Hope you are inspired by what you see.  If you need some Stampin' Up! supplies, you can order 24/7 right here.

Top Note Stamp Camp Card

Here's the last of the September Stamp Camp cards.  I was inspired by one of the cards on the cover of the new Idea Book and Catalog.  My poor Top Note Bigz Die was collecting dust so I had to use it, lol!

 
We used strips of the Greenhouse Gala DSP and coordinating card stock and glued them to a piece of Whisper White card stock with the Anywhere Glue Stick.  Once it dried a little, we ran it through the Big Shot with the Top Note Bigz Die.  We made a Chocolate Chip Top Note Bigz Die as well for the matte. 

We stamped the image from Oval All with Pear Pizzazz and punched it out with the Large Oval Punch.  The Scallop Oval Punch makes a perfect matte.  We spruced up our image with the smallest of the Paper Daisies that we sponged lightly.  Lastly, we added a Basic Pearl Jewel.

I'm going to have the rest of the year's calendar finalized by this weekend.  Be sure to come back and check it out.  I will offer card kits for a few of the classes, in case you can't attend.

Upsy Daisy Birthday Wishes

My son actually needed two "Sweet Sixteen" birthday cards this past weekend.  This is the second one I made.  I haven't used Upsy Daisy for a long while--still a great stamp set!

It's kind of hard to see, but the Daffodil Delight and Poppy Parade panels were run through the Big Shot with the Perfect Details Texturz Plate.  My ribbon is Chocolate Chip Grosgrain and Daffodil Delight Taffeta.  I used Daffodil Delight to stamp the image on Whisper White.  My sentiment is from the Occasional Quotes Hostess Set.

Thanks for the visit!

Awash With Flowers Challenge

Today's card follows the color and sketch challenge on SCS this week.  The color challenge uses three of the new In Colors:  Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz and Peach Parfait.

I stamped the first flower from Awash with Flowers with Concord Crush.  The outline is full strength and the inside is half strength (stamped off first).  I then masked that flower and stamped the other two with Peach Parfait.  My designer paper is from the Level 1 Paper Pack.  It's a stack of 6x6 DSP in all of the In Colors.  My final touch is Whisper White Organza Ribbon and two brads from Styled Silver Hodge Podge Hardware.

Tonight I'm going to be busy getting ready for my Retiring Sale Event.  It's not too late to join us--just send me an email so I can cut cardstock for your FREE make and take!
