Stamping With Sheryl

Stamp Camp Registration Ends Today!

Today is the last day to register for Stamp Camp.  If you want to use the PayPal link, click here.

Today's card is one that you will make at Stamp Camp.  Since it's August and back to school, it's time to think "fall".  My card features French Foliage.  The colors are Cajun Craze and So Saffron.  My sketch is from this week's sketch on CPS.

 

Since Cajun Craze is a darker color, I used a Very Vanilla panel on the inside too.

 

What do you think of the bit of Cajun Craze poking out underneath the So Saffron?  Do you have any idea how I got that border?  It's the  Postage Stamp Punch from the Summer Mini.  I just punched a bit off and it's a really easy punch to line up so that the border stays even.  Hope you like that idea.

If you want to purchase the Postage Stamp Punch or any other SU! item, shop 24/7 right here.

Hope you can join us on Friday!

Thanks for the visit!

Need For Speed

For those of you that know I have 3 teenage boys, it's a no brainer that Need For Speed was at the top of my "must haves" from the new catalog!  I love the "sketchiness" of the images and know this stamp get will get a lot of use!  Here's a stamp camp card we made on Friday.

 

I used the card on page 91 (click on the catalog in the left side bar to view) as my inspiration.  I took a piece of card stock, wrapped it in aluminum foil and then ran it through the Big Shot with the new Stripes Embossing Folder.  Under the sentiment, I stamped an image from Extreme Elements with Real Red ink on the Real Red card stock.  The sentiment is from On Your Birthday--this isn't a new set, but one that has all of the birthday greetings you'll need.

I still have some catalogs--if you need one, email me to work out the details!

Come back tomorrow because I have another card to share.  Thanks for the visit!

July Stamp Camp Registration Open

July's Stamp Camp will be on Friday, July 15 at 7pm at my house.  You can use the PayPal link below or send me a check (be sure to tell me you are sending a check so I look for it).  Registration ends Monday, July 11. 

Here's one of the cards we'll make--it features the brand new stamp set, Pennant Parade and the coordinating punch, Petite Pennant Builder.  I also use the Create a Cupcake Punch.

 

Be sure to take a good look at this stamp set--there's a lot that can be done with it and not all birthdays.  I have a link to the new catalog on my sidebar.  This stamp set is on page 69.  If you need a copy of the catalog, be sure to email me so we can work out the details.

Hope you can join us in July!

Paradise

My card today was one of June's Stamp Camp cards.  It features the stamp set, Paradise, which is retiring.  If you haven't checked out my promotion for retiring sets, click here.  Remember, the last day to order from the 2010-2011 catalog is Thursday!

Back to my card...I had a beautiful piece of tissue paper that I used as my inspiration.  It's in the photo as well.

 
We did a reversed mask frame (that's what I'm calling it anyways) on this card.  I took a scrap piece of card stock cut 1/4" shorter on each side compared to my Whisper White panel.  Holding the scrap piece down carefully, I sponged with Perfect Plum and a Sponge Dauber all around the edges.  While still holding the scrap piece down, I outlined it with the Perfect Plum Stampin' Write Marker.  Then I covered the sponged area with post it notes and stamped the inside.

My leaves are Perfect Plum and Always Artichoke.  I also used the Spritzer with Crumb Cake Stampin' Write Marker to add a little spritz.  The Whisper White is adhered to a piece of Always Artichoke and then a Perfect Plum card base.  Lastly, I used the Big Shot and the Beautiful Wings Embosslit with Peach Parfait card stock to add the butterflies.  The bodies are created with Basic Pearl Jewels.

Thanks for the visit!

Cheers to You Stamp Camp Card!

Here's another June Stamp Camp card.  I know it's pink and green like yesterday's, but I promise not ALL of them will be pink and green, lol!  I used the sketch on Clean and Simple and the color from CR84FN.   This card features Cheers to You, which is one of the retiring stamp sets.

 

And here's my card...

 

Hope you can join us on June 17.  Remember registration ends Monday, June 13!

Fabulous Florets

I needed a birthday card for a friend so I checked out a few of my favorite challenge blogs. On Create Ink I found the color challenge using Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive.  Then on Inkspirations I found a great sketch.  The girls at Paper Players put out the challenge to use "birds, bees, flowers and trees."

 

 

I put all of those great challenges together and came up with this.

 

I stamped the smaller flower from Fabulous Florets with Black Stazon on Watercolor Paper.  Then I used reinkers and my AquaPainter to watercolor them.  I cut them out and used Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere them.

If you would like to make this card, you'll need the following products:

Stamp Set:  Fabulous Florets

Ink:  Old Olive, Black Stazon, Pumpkin Pie and Rich Razzleberry Reinkers
