Boho Indigo Product Medley and Tutorial Offer!

July 27, 2020 tshuman306

Boho Indigo Product Medley

Do you ever have times you want to make something, but you just aren’t sure where to start? It’s the blank canvas dilemma of having too many choices. Often, when I’m not sure how to start, I let the artists at Stampin’ Up! help me.

Suites, kits, and medleys – oh my! These artist-designed sets of coordinating products are a great place to get your inspiration flowing. Start with a simple kit project and step it up. Or look for a color combination or a whole design theme. I hope this tip helps you the next time you are looking for inspiration!

I get asked what the difference is between Suites, kits, and medleys? Although they are all groupings of coordinating products to make your crafting experience easier, there are a few difference.

Suites are entire collections of themed products that coordinate. A suite has at least one stamp set, sometimes two and usually has patterned paper, dies or punches, ribbon, and embellishments.

Kits include pre-designed and pre-cut projects. They can be all-inclusive or can include project supplies with coordinating stamps and ink available separately.

Medleys are more like a mini-suite. They are a collection of coordinating supplies, but not as large as a suite, so you get a bit of everything to inspire your creativity at a budge-friendly price point.

Happy Stamping!!

Peony Garden Suite

Some images are timeless and endure through the changes of years and styles. The Peony Garden Suite is a perfect example of timeless elegance. From simple stamping to over-the-top, this suite covers all the bases. Use traditional colors, stamping and die-cutting to create a peony that looks like it came right out of grandma’s garden or create a simple modern, monochrome look with the flower stamped in a neutral color on Whisper White. I think you’ll find yourself reaching for this suite for many occasions.

This lovely tutorial includes two ways to watercolor and uses the Peony Dies to build a gorgeous 3-D flower. Let’s make something beautiful!

Happy Stamping!!

Celebrate Sunflowers – Fun Fold Gift Card Holder

July 19, 2020July 18, 2020 tshuman306

Hello, and thanks for popping by today 🙂 I wanted to share with you a card I recently made as part of our NC Demonstrators Stamp Along day. This is our second time doing this on our FB page and it’s been a lot of fun! Several demonstrators volunteer to do either a live video, a pre-recorded video, or share a PDF of a project they’ve made. I chose to make a card that can double as a gift cardholder. And I used our Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle, the Flowers for Every Season 6×6 DSP and several of the new 2020-2022 In Colors (that coordinate with the DSP).

This card can be made with the pocket for a gift card/cash, or without. You can also dress up the inside of the card a little more by adding additional DSP panels to cover the white inside the card, it’s entirely up to you!

Take a look at the video for additional tips for making this card 🙂

And here’s a PDF for the project – Celebrate Sunflowers Fun Fold Gift Card Holder – Toni Mari’s Creations

Thanks for taking a look today! Follow my blog to see more fun projects 🙂

NC Demos June Blog Hop – New Beginnings

June 28, 2020July 7, 2020 tshuman306

Welcome to our monthly NC Demos Blog Hop! It’s really hard for me to grasp that we’re at the end of June and knocking on the door of July! I think we should request a general “do-over” for this year, because it’s been a real mess! But one of the constants that have helped me through the stress is stamping. I can lose myself for hours in my craft room and it does allow me to clear my head of all the noise that’s going on. I think that is true for many of us crafters. And speaking of, you may have just hopped over from Tina Lesson‘s blog and I know she had a wonderful project that she shared!

This month’s theme was interesting! It is something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue! And this is what I designed based on that criteria.

So, here’s the breakdown:

Something Old – Tailored Tag Punch

Something New – Indigo Boho Medley

Something Borrowed – I saw this card layout on one of our Dutch Demonstrators Blog – Janneke Dijkstrade Jong (Happystampin.nl) – and borrowed it!

Something Blue – I used Night of Navy and Misty Moonlight inks, as well as the various DSP patterns from the Indigo Boho Medley.

I knew as soon as I saw this Medley in the new Annual Catalog that I was going to be at the top of my wish list. Blue is my favorite color so this was right up my alley! Medley’s are a great way to start off your stamping experience. The only things you need to add are acrylic blocks to mount the stamps and adhesive.

As I mentioned above, the inspiration for the card layout came from one of our demonstrators in the Netherlands. I loved how she used the Tailored Tag but modified the width of the cardstock she was using to produce a different looking tag. She used a 1 1/2″ width of DSP to get the result. It’s always fun to find new ways to use the tools we have on hand!

When I purchased the Boho Indigo Medley I knew that at least one of my projects was going to incorporate yellow because I just love the pairing of blue and yellow. And when I placed a piece of the Bumble Bee In Color DSP next to the DSP found in the medley, I knew I had a winner! I’ve included a PDF Tutorial for my card at the bottom of this post 🙂

Just a reminder that there are a few days left to take advantage of a couple of amazing specials going on. The first is the Annual Catalog Kickoff Celebration where you can earn additional rewards with a qualifying order.

The second special is the Pick A Free Bundle Starter Kit Promotion! For a limited time, when you become a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, you can choose any stamp/tool bundle from the new 2020–2021 Annual Catalog for FREE. There could not be a better time to make your dreams of having your own Stampin’ Up! business come true, OR, just join for the discount! There’s no pressure to make this a business, many demonstrators sign up simply to keep their stash full of amazing products at a discounted cost. 🙂

Please continue through our hop and enjoy the amazing creativity of our next blogger, Jo Anne Hewins.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stamping!

When Life Hands You Lemons…

June 27, 2020June 26, 2020 tshuman306

Sometimes in life, the best-laid plans just get blown away. I was supposed to be attending one of our NC Demo Quarterly events in Hendersonville, NC. And as you might have guessed, that event was canceled due to Corona Virus restrictions. BUT, one of our amazing demonstrations, Martinette Horner, coordinated an event that allowed us to still get together virtually, and share some wonderful live videos, pre-recorded videos, and tutorials. I did a pre-recorded video to share with our NC Demo group and thought I would share it with you as well.

One of my favorite suites in the new Annual catalog is the Peony Garden Suite. There’s so much about it that caught my attention, the beautiful images in the stamps set, the dies, the DSP, and I especially love the color combination it uses, Petal Pink, Gray Granite, Basic Gray, and White. I’ve always been a fan of the pink and gray combo.

I was initially intimidated when I saw the dies for the flowers. I just felt it was going to be complicated, but I was so wrong! The assembly of the flower was incredibly easy, as you’ll see when you watch the video. I really love how the Peony looks cut from our beautiful Champagne Foil paper. The possibilities are endless with what you can make. I’ve included a tutorial for this card as well. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

In Color Inspiration

June 17, 2020June 16, 2020 tshuman306

Have you had a chance to dive in and play with the five new 2020-2022 In Colors?

I’m loving these rich colors for summer stamping. I think they will be gorgeous for autumn projects, too. Both the World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Flowers For Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper feature the new In Colors so there’s a ton of inspiration for combining these colors with masculine and floral themes. I hope you have as much fun getting to know these new colors as I am!

This month’s Color Inspiration, of course, features three of the new In Colors. I think you’ll love the crisp chic style and rustic natural look of the two samples.

If you haven’t received the new Annual Catalog yet, be sure to let me know!

Happy Stamping!!

Toni

COLOR INSPIRATION

Misty Moonlight

Cinnamon Cider

Bumble Bee

A new Annual Catalog means the introduction of new In Colors. Each year the new colors are at the top of many stampers must-have list. This year, Stampin’ Up! has hit a home run with these muted, rich colors. They are luscious and perfect for creating both natural and vintage themes. For this month’s Color Inspiration I’m focusing on three of the new In Colors; Misty Moonlight, Cinnamon Cider, and Bumblebee. The first card features the Flowers for Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (#152486) and Ornate Layers dies (#152726). The Forever Fern stamp set (#152559) is combined with the awesome new Lovely Labels Pick a Punch (#152883) to create the little greeting label. The Scripty 3D Embossing Folder (#149634), Medium Daisy Punch (#149517), Gilded Gems (#152478), and Bumblebee 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon (#153658) add lots of rich texture to this chic card.

The second card features a rustic look with floral and textural designs from the Tasteful Touches stamp set (#152562). The 2020-2022 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (#153070) and water coloring add rich detail to this card. The Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714) are used with Brass Foil (#153057) to add a touch of elegant shine. Other colors used in these projects: Early Espresso, Whisper White, and Brass. What will you create with these colors? I can’t wait to see!

Birds and Branches

June 14, 2020 tshuman306

Happy Sunday, Everyone! Today I wanted to show you a card I recently created for an NC Demonstrator Swap. The swap requirements were to use new products from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. And if you aren’t familiar with what a swap is, it’s when a group of people sign up to create a card based on specific criteria. We are told the total number of cards to make and they are mailed to the person who is hosting the swap. Once they’ve collected all the cards from the participants, they sort all the cards and mail one design each back to everyone. So we end up with a variety of card samples to share at our classes or use for blog posts. It’s a really fun way to add cards to our collections without us each making them ourselves.

My card featured the new Birds and Branches set and some other products from the new catalog (you can see all the products below). I used the circle die first on a piece of 4″ x 5 1/4″ paper. Then I used my Blends to color the leaves and berries. Once that was done, I took that layer of card stock and ran it through my embossing machine using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I just love the look that the texture gives to the branches and berries!

I then laid that layer over the front of my Thick Whisper White card stock (4 1/4″ x 11″, scored @ 5 1/2″), and using a pencil, I placed a small dot at the bottom of the circle. This was to give me guidance as to where to stamp the nest. I stamped the nest using Crumb Cake ink on the front of the folder Thick Whisper White base. Next, I took a length of the White Crinkle Ribbon and wrapped it around the die-cut and embossed layer and tied a bow, then attached that layer to the card front using dimensionals. The bird was stamped with Rococo Rose ink on Blushing Bride card stock and then die cut and also attached with dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped using the Many Mates stamp set and then die cut using the Tasteful Labels die. That was attached to the front with dimensionals as well. The final step was to add some Wink of Stella to the berries and that was my finished card!

I hope you enjoyed my card 🙂

Happy Stamping!

May NC Demos Blog Hop – Saying Goodbye!

May 31, 2020May 31, 2020 tshuman306

Welcome to our monthly NC Demo Blog Hop! Thanks for checking out all the amazing projects this month. You may have just come here from Amy Kinler’s blog, wasn’t her project amazing?

Our theme this month was to post a project using a set that will be retiring from the 2019 -2020 Annual Catalog. I do have several favorites that will be retiring so choosing one set was a challenge. So I fudged the rules a little bit because I chose 2 stamp sets, Happy Tails, and Nine Lives. I really love my fur babies and I’m a little bit upset that these sets are retiring, BUT…we have a wonderful new set coming in the new catalog that will fill the void 🙂 BTW, the punches that coordinate with both of these sets are NOT retiring 🙂

(Happy Tails and Nine Lives Instructions)

I’m also trying to use up some of the beautiful DSP that will be retiring as well and I decided to use DSP from See A Silhouette because I wanted bright bold colors. This DSP is currently reduced to $8.05 so don’t wait to grab a package or two!! Crushed Curry and Pacific Point were to 2 colors I chose to help accent the DSP. I used one of the dies from Stitched Labels (which are retiring as well) for the sentiment on the Happy Tails card and then just stamped the sentiment right on to the DSP for the Nine Lives card. I tend to forget about stamping on our DSP! And of course, that gorgeous Crushed Curry Crinkled Seam binding pulls it all together. I’m really going to miss this ribbon as well, it’s just soooo vibrant!

Here a two more cards I made with the 2 sets.

Here’s a better look at the See A Silhoutte DSP, just look at those gorgeous colors!

I hope you have enjoyed my Bon Voyage to 2 favorite stamp sets! Be sure to check out the Last Chance Products page to grab these 2 stamp sets before they are gone for good!

Now please continue on with our hop, click on the Next Blog pic and check out what Tina Lesson has to share with you today! We have 14 bloggers this month so make sure you visit them ALL!

Magnolia Lane Memories and More Card

May 30, 2020May 27, 2020 tshuman306

Today I’m sharing a 2nd card that we created in my last virtual card class. This one features the Magnolia Lane Memories and More cards along with the Magnolia Lane DSP, both of which are on the Last Chance Product promotion and only available while supplies last! (NOTE – the regular package of DSP has sold out but you can still purchase the Magnolia Lane Bulk Designer Series Paper which gives you even more amazing papers to work with!)

I just love the different look of the Memories and More card pack, and having the decorated envelope insert really ties it all together.

Here’s a close up of the flower, which was so easy to create using the Magnolia Memory dies.

And here’s the inside of the card. I used the Stitched So Sweetly dies, which I absolutely LOVE!

Here are the instructions for making this card. I hope you’ll give it a try! It’s a very versatile design and you can add any sentiment you wish to the inside 🙂
