Stamping With Sheryl

From Santa Stamp Camp Card

Here's the last of the October Stamp Camp cards.  This card features the "a la carte" stamp, From Santa, which can be found in the Holiday Mini.  The sketch is from this week's Mojo Monday challenge.

 

My colors, Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso, come from the Frostwood Lodge DSP.  The Mini Jingle Bell fits perfectly in Santa's hat.  The sentiment comes from one of my favorite Christmas stamp sets, The Jolliest Time of the Year.

If you haven't checked out my Christmas Gift class yet, be sure to see what we will make.  You can order kits for pick up or shipping as well.  All the details are right here.

Today is the Last Day to Register for October's Stamp Camp!

I have another October Stamp Camp card to share with you.  I'm really proud of this one--I've finally learned how to make the paper rosettes that I've seen so many times.  I learned how to make these rosettes from my latest Stampin' Success (a demonstrator only magazine). 

I got the idea of using the Lattice Die with a DSP background from a fellow stamper, Toni Tessler.  I love that look!  The DSP that I used (5 different patterns) is the Mocha Morning Specialty DSP.  It's gorgeous!

My starting point for this card came from the sketch challenge on Inkspirations.

Elements of Style Stamp Camp Card

Here's the last Stamp Camp card.  My layout if from Paper Pals Art Sketch Challenge for the week. 

 

I took some creative liberty and used a butterfly from Beautiful Wings Embosslit to replace area 4.

 

Can you see the embossed lines?  I scored those with my new toy from the Holiday Mini, Simply Scored Scoring Tool.  I can't wait to show it to my stampers--it's going to make any scoring project MUCH easier!!

Come back tomorrow.  I have one card from each choice for my upcoming Christmas Card Class.

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!

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!

June Stamp Camp Registration Now Open!

Sorry that I'm a little late in getting the registration for June Stamp Camp up.  Stamp Camp will be Friday, June 17 at 7pm at my house in Plainfield.  Registration ends Monday, June 13.   Use the PayPal link below to register.

As you know, I've been MIA for May.  May was a month of work and baseball.  Baseball isn't over, but it's toning down a little.  I love to watch the boys play, though, so it definitely is my priority.  Since I haven't stamped for a bit, my mojo is a little rusty.  For this Stamp Camp card, I got some help from the Color Throwdown challenge and Sunday Sketch and Stamp challenge.

 

 

 

My card (as will most of the Stamp Camp cards) features a retiring set, On a Pedestal.

 
I like these bright colors for a birthday card.  The background score lines were made with my Fiskars cutter and Bone Folder--this is something different for my campers.

Hope you can make stamp camp!

Sail Away

I needed a masculine "thinking of you" card so I turned to my new stamp, Sail Away, and the new DSP, Nautical Expedition, both are from the Summer Mini.  Even if the card recipient isn't into boating, I think they are perfect for masculine cards. 

 
Just so happens that the colors of the DSP are in the color combo challenge on Paper Players and my sketch comes from Clean and Simple.

 
I used markers, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, and Not Quite Navy to ink my stamp.  Then I tool a Blender Pen and drew a little of the color into the sail and smudged the waves just a bit.  We will use the same technique on this card at May's Stamp Camp.

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

Stamps:  Sail Away, Silhouette Sentinments (hostess)

Markers:  Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, Not Quite Navy

Card Stock:  Early Espresso, Not Quite Navy, Naturals Ivory, Nautical Expedition DSP

Accessories:  Early Espresso Baker's Twine, Oval Punch, Blender Pen

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
