Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - September - Autumn

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today features the monthly Stampin Dreams theme which for September is creating Autumn projects.

I do not have a lot of products to use for autumn, but this season is all about the beautiful colors. I decided to try an ink swiping technique with the Leaf 3D folder. I swiped 3 different colors in rows across the embossing folder on the side that has the Stampin' Up! logo. I then lightly sprayed the ink on the folder with water from my stampin spritzer, placed the paper in the folder and ran it through the embossing machine. 

Isn't this beautiful? I trimmed it down a bit more to fit the layer I wanted on my card and decided it needed another layer of very vanilla under it to help pop the colors on the card. 

I added the sentiment and a bit of ribbon under it. I love how the card turned out and will definitely make a few more of these for my thanksgiving cards.

#DOswts418 - Sketch Inspiration

Welcome to the DO Stamper Stars Blog Hop. I am a member of the DO Stamper Stars team which is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who are part of Dawn Olchefkse's leader team. Each month we participate in 2 Blog Hops, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today's feature project is based on the below sketch.

I'm having fun creating withe the new Merriest Trees Bundle & A Walk In The Woods Designer Series paper from the Sept. - Dec Mini catalog. I did not venture too far from the sketch and cut a 5 1/4 x 4 layer of the DSP which I then cut it on half on the diagonal. A great way to maximize the use of your DSP. The tree design was cut from the same DSP using the Merriest Trees die cuts. 

I love how this turned out and anticipate I'll make more of these for my holiday card stretch as you can stretch your DSP since you'll get two cards out of each cut.

Technique Tuesday - September - Simple Stamping

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today features the monthly Technique Tuesday projects where the team will share Simple Stamping techniques.

Simple stamping is often referred to as 'stamps, ink & paper'. I often find it difficult to do 'less' on a card because I love adding depth & dimension to a card. However, if you run across people who have never stamped or paper crafted before, the process can be intimidating. Simple, really is best to start out. 

This card is as simple as it gets. I cut the designer series paper and stamped directly on it before adhering it to the card base. Card base is simply 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 card stock, folded in half. The designer paper is the star of the card. 

Here is another card with simple stamping, but I stepped it up with die cut elements which would require a Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine along with a set of dies. 

Card Details

• Stamps
• Kindness Expressions 
• Paper
• Basic White Thick card base 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score/fold in half (4 14)
• Ink
• Tuxedo Black Memento ink 
• Other
• Paper Trimmer is an essential tool when paper crafting. 
• Adhesives: Seal or Multipurpose glue

Now Let's dig into more collaborative fun. Grab a beverage, sit back, and enjoy the hop! I hope you find awesome ideas and inspiration for simple projects.
